From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

“Feel honored, heretic of the Dawn Church, for even the believers of the Sun rarely glimpse my true face.”

“Then, what is this end you speak of?” After a long silence, Karno asked.

The Child of the Sun God answered immediately, his voice still filled with an ethereal transcendence that echoed throughout the space.

“The so-called end is what you refer to as the Lord of the Lost, the being worshipped by the Dawn Church. I am already aware of all the things concerning you.”

He paused and slowly said with his eyes closed:

“Its power has indeed dissipated, for if something were about to happen when I uttered ‘end,’ it should have done so, such is the might of the otherworldly gods.”

The Saint of the Sun, the Child of the Sun God, was radiating the light of the sun all over.

“Dazzling to behold”

That was the only way Karno could describe the man who had ruled over the southern nation of the Terell Church Kingdom for a thousand years.

In history, there had been countless legends about this Child of the Sun God. There had been more than one Saint of the Sun over tens of thousands of years, but without a doubt, the one recorded the most was this very Child of the Sun God.

It wasn’t just because he was the Saint of the Sun from the era closest to the present. He could also possibly be the strongest and most active Saint of the Sun in history.

In over a thousand years, he personally annihilated as many as a dozen secret churches and organizations and even single-handedly destroyed two nations opposing the sun. His strength was genuinely of the Heavenly Enlightenment Level, and he might have already reached the terrifying Apocalypse Middle Rank!

Such a man proclaimed that the world was on the brink of destruction, that he intended to save the world…

“And even spoke of eradicating the Fischer family…”

Karno fell into deep contemplation. He had long known about the prophecy the gods had made regarding the East, the one about the world possibly being destroyed. Not only he but everyone in the Fischer family understood that the prophecy likely referred to the Lord of the Lost.

But what of it? In reality, both the Fischer family and the members of the Dawn Church firmly believed that when the great Lord of the Lost awakened, the world would be saved, not destroyed.

When the great Lord of the Lost awakened, the Fischer family would be elevated alongside.

They couldn’t possibly believe an outsider’s propaganda instead of the will of the Lord of the Lost.

But if one were to say who in the Fischer family had been the most uncertain about this matter in the last hundred years, without a doubt, that person would be Karno Fischer.

Throughout the decades of his life, he was accustomed to contemplating, questioning, and exploring all kinds of rules and truths. Although deep in his heart he still believed in the great Lord of the Lost, Karno was never a devout believer.

He also wasn’t someone who was one hundred percent certain that the world would be saved when the great Lord of the Lost awakened.

However, precisely because he doubted everything, questioned everything, Karno wasn’t someone who would easily believe that the world would be destroyed due to the revival of the Lord of the Lost.

“Evidence, do you have any evidence?”

After contemplating for a while, Karno said with a smile, “You say that when the great Lord of the Lost awakens, the world will plunge into destruction, but what evidence do you have?”

The Child of the Sun God gazed intently at Karno; those eyes that shone with radiant golden light did indeed fill one with warmth, it was just uncertain when they might turn scorching.

“You are unlike many with faith, actually demanding evidence rather than accusing and cursing me… interesting.”

“Karno Fischer, I will tell you about the various evidences regarding the end.”

“Come with me.”

He said calmly and then walked towards that distant castle.

Karno didn’t hesitate to follow but realized that Bast’s Soul Body remained curled up in its original position, simply not wanting to leave, shivering and huddled in a corner.

“How about it, won’t you come with me?” he asked.

“No, I can’t…”

Bast’s Soul Body shook his head repeatedly and after looking at Karno for a while, he finally spoke:

“I’m scared, I won’t go, you all go, I’ll just wait here for you!”

Seeing that Bast was so adamant, Karno didn’t push any further; after all, this damaged Soul Body was very unstable and could easily become emotionally volatile.

Even as a damaged Soul Body, it still possessed the power of the Monarch Level, and if he went into a rage, even Karno as he was now would have to face him seriously.

“Alright, don’t be afraid, just stay here, I will come back,” he nodded and said.

But just as Karno took a few steps away, Bast suddenly shouted again.

“Come back! Make sure to come back and find me! I’m so scared!”

“I will come back.”

Karno turned to nod again, feeling that the difference between Bast’s Soul Body and the domineering figure from the family records documented by the previous Family Head, Byrne, was astonishingly vast.

“The difference in personality is so great after the disappearance of memories; perhaps it’s not just due to the loss of memory.”

He had never experienced the era that belonged to Bast, the time when the Lion clan reigned over the East Coast, and he didn’t know what sort of person Bast was back then.

Even though the books contained many descriptions, Karno still believed in seeing for himself.

Afterward, he followed the Saint of the Sun, drawing ever closer to that castle. Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire

It was a castle bathed in warm sunlight, glittering with a fantastical hue, standing like the most exquisite masterpiece amidst an endless verdant meadow, surrounded by gently swaying wildflowers, with a faint floral fragrance permeating the air.
