Blood River Will.
A magnificent temple atop the giant tree.
A blood mist enveloped the area, with chilling, violent, ruthless, and indifferent auras flanking the crowd. At the central seat, Elijah Dorsey, leader of the Blood River Will Cult, lowered his gaze to the ice-armored youth kneeling below and asked, "So, you slaughtered the entire Buda City?"
"Yes, but I have already prepared a disguise. These Aberrant Demon heads are irrefutable proof! From the outside, the massacrers are the Aberrant Demon Transformation Buda Star Envoy and their ilk. It is perfectly reasonable for me to kill Aberrant Demon!"
Auerbach pointed to the blood-stained sack in front of him, and then recounted his explanation.
"Idiot!"
A cold shout came from the side, followed by a streak of blood, like a whip lashing out. In a single blow, it shattered Auerbach's ice armor, ripped open his chest, and caused blood to gush out, even exposing his internal organs.
"Teacher..."
Auerbach stared in disbelief at the Fate Master had made the move, his eyes filled with incomprehension.
The black-haired elder named Patrick stood up from his seat and bowed slightly to the leader of the Blood River. "This time, it was Auerbach who acted foolishly. Please show leniency; I am willing to take the blame for him."
"Bear?"
Before the Blood River leader could speak, another cold snort echoed throughout the hall, "How will you take responsibility? This idiot has no idea about the methods of the Star God Lineage. He thinks he can fool everyone with his clumsy, self-righteous disguise? Are you kidding me! Does he think the Star Vein Network connecting the entire Star God Realm is just for show? If it were that easy to fool people, why have there been so few massacres in the thousands of years of Dynasty of Stars history?!"
"It's simply that we couldn't hide it any longer!"
Upon hearing this, Auerbach abruptly looked up, his face pale. Whether from excessive blood loss or being frightened by the words, it was unclear. His gaze involuntarily turned to his teacher, Patrick.
Auerbach finally understood why the teacher had scolded him first and beaten him severely on the spot.
This was to vent the anger of the sect leaders present!
Ignoring the impulsive and reckless disciple, and not responding to the high-ranking member speaking behind him, the black-haired elder Patrick remained bent over, motionless.
Da~ Da~ Da~
In the silent hall, the even tapping of fingers on the armrests echoed. After a long while, the leader of the Blood River spoke softly, "More than three thousand years ago, the seven Great Demons of the End unleashed a world-ending frenzy. The World King emerged and sealed them one by one, saving countless lives."
"In this super war, the once intact ' Fate Continent ' shattered with a deafening roar, countless fragments scattered across the planes. From then on, countless Stars appeared, orbiting the remaining ' Fate Remnant Continent,' and meteorites would occasionally collide with the continent, causing Destruction natural disasters."
"The World King traversed the Starry Sky, using his own power to restrain the stars, open up Star Vein, transform the Fate Remnant Continent into the Continent of Stars, create the Star God System, establish the Dynasty of Stars, and integrate all humanoid races into a unified human race, thus ushering the Star God Realm into the unprecedentedly stable and prosperous Eighth Era!"
As the Blood River leader's words spread throughout the hall, under the powerful influence of his Divine Power, the high-ranking members of the sect seemed to witness firsthand the once mighty overlord who had changed the world, and the completely transformed Star God Realm after the catastrophe.
"However..."
The Blood River leader's tone abruptly shifted, from gentle to turbulent, from calm to resolute and iron-fisted.
"The stability and prosperity of the Dynasty of Stars were built on the foundation of the ruthless exploitation of the Fate Master System; it was the noble blood of the Fate Master that nurtured those lowly mortals."
"Over the years, many Fate Master Sect, including our Blood River Will, have not stopped thinking for a single second about overthrowing the Star God System that oppresses us and restoring the glory before the Eighth Era!"
"With the fall of the World King, the Star God System has lost its axis and will inevitably collapse sooner or later. This is our opportunity, and now is the time!"
At this point, the leader of the Blood River slowly rose to his feet, his aura gradually rising.
His words caused a drastic change in the expressions of many high-ranking Blood River Will Cult. Immediately, someone retorted, "We cannot do this! With our strength, going against the Dynasty of Stars will only lead to our demise!"
"Oh? What if I said we're not fighting alone?"
"Who... is there?"
The Blood River leader slightly raised his eyes, looking outside the hall. "Shouldn't you all show yourselves by now? Otherwise, my elders might betray us."
"Heh, is Lord Blood River joking? Everyone knows your position in the Blood River Will is absolute; no one dares to oppose you."
As the words fell, several powerful auras suddenly descended.
"The Blood Pact Circle, the Touch of Fester, the Esoteric Spiral... the leaders of several major sects have all arrived. What... could it be that they really intend to rebel?"
Inside the main hall, the Blood River Will Elders on the left and right sides looked at each other in shock.
No one expected that a massacre would lead to such severe consequences.
"No, that's not right. The massacre was just the trigger. I'm afraid the leaders of several sects have long wanted to overthrow the rule of the Star God Lineage!"
With many eyes meeting, sparks flew. The elders present were no fools, and they quickly deduced many things based on the current situation.
Auerbach slumped to the ground, cold sweat pouring down his face. The words he heard made his heart tremble. Could his actions have caused such a major incident? Unbelievable!
"Reporting to the leader and elders, we have just received news that our ten outposts have been wiped out by the Molten Fire Great Star Envoy leading his Star Soldier, and over a thousand sect Fate Master have been killed."
Just then, a bat-like monster flew in from outside and delivered a message.
After hearing this, Auerbach trembled, wishing he could bury his head in a crack in the ground, if only there were one.
The sect elders glanced coldly at Auerbach, but said nothing more, let alone reprimanded him.
Since the leader has decided to break ties with the Star God Lineage and go to war, then the matter of Auerbach is naturally not a problem.
"See? The Star God Lineage is still as domineering as ever. It's just the deaths of mortals in a mere city, yet they've killed over a thousand of our Fate Master! It's simply... intolerable!"
"I hereby command that, from this moment forward, the Blood River Will Cult declares war on the Star God Lineage!"
"The Touch of Fester Cult has also declared war on the Star God Lineage!"
"Blood Pact Circle..."
"Esoteric Spiral..."
The voices of four leaders of major religious sects rang out in turn.
It wasn't loud at first, but soon it became as grand as the collapse of a star, echoing throughout every corner of the entire Savage Star along with the omnipresent Ether Power.
All living beings who heard this sound trembled in body and mind. In a daze, they seemed to see an endless darkness, carrying blood and Slaughter, completely engulfing them.
Has war been declared?
Gustavo leaned on Victor's shoulder, gazing up at the sky, but he wasn't surprised.
After all, he had received the "Battle of the Savage" mission in advance, and based on the mission prompts, he had already predicted the current outcome.
His gaze fell upon the burning ruins before Gustavo, where fully armed Star Soldier in various places. When they heard the leaders of the four major sects simultaneously declare war on the Star God Lineage, their first reaction was disbelief, thinking someone was playing a prank.
But soon, the Molten Fire Great Star Envoy confirmed the news—it was true!
For a moment, the Star Soldier and Star Envoy, who were just immersed in the joy of victory, were stunned.
On the ruins, a middle-aged Fate Master, now only his upper body remaining, laughed maniacally, "Hahaha, hahahaha, you wild dogs, divine retribution has come! Without the World King, you will ultimately Destruction! The world will finally belong to us Fate Master!!"
Boom!!
Thunder roared, rain poured down, and plumes of white smoke rose from the earth.
A figure entwined with lightning snakes tore through space and descended into the sky. Behind him floated a spiraling staff like a pillar of heaven, crackling with lightning and exuding immense power.
"The people of the Esoteric Spiral!"
The Molten Fire Great Star Envoy confront it.
The newcomer appeared unusually indifferent, simply extending five fingers and pulling upwards.
The sea of lightning that filled the sky instantly obscured everything!
