From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

In the west of the Ouden Continent, there exist the Silvermoon City-States, known and allied by their common faith in the Silver Moon Lady. Also, sheltered by the Silver Moon Church, the Silvermoon City-States maintain their relative independence from Lorne and the Seven Stars, even without a being of the Heavenly Enlightenment Level among them.

Among the many Silvermoon City-States, there is one close to the Moon Sea in the north—its name is the Half Moon City State, just like all the other Silvermoon City-States.

It is home to a great number of the Elf Clan.

Elves are rarely seen in the east of the Ouden Continent, yet in the Silvermoon City-States, they can be seen everywhere, loving the moonlight as they do.

In a vine-covered house at the very edge of the Half Moon City State, there resides a white-haired elf male of unparalleled elegance.

He is like the silver moonlight that has traversed a thousand years, quietly illuminating everything around him, radiating an indescribable nobility and mystery.

His elven eyes, deep and bright, shimmer with rare silver light, akin to the most dazzling constellations in the dead of night, brimming with the brilliance of wisdom and insight.

His silver hair, like frost and snow, gently cascades over his shoulders, swaying with the wind, flickering with a moonlight-like cool yet soft luster. The elf’s face is extraordinarily handsome, his skin fair and smooth, as if untouched by the weathering of years, preserving eternal youth and vitality.

The Sagittarius Sage.

He is the most famous Spellcaster in this city-state, full of wisdom and benevolence, and he is a legendary figure among the many Silvermoon City-States.

However, only a very few know that this Sagittarius Sage is actually a member of the secret organization known as “Primordial Tree.”

His title is “Wisdom,” and in the Primordial Tree, his status is second only to “Crown,” with strength that has already touched the threshold of Heavenly Enlightenment.

Also known as the “Supreme Father.”

Suddenly, a boy burst into the house, his face streaked with tears, and pleaded with the Sagittarius Sage, “Sage Teacher, please help me!”

“Sage Teacher, our sheep is lost, it’s the most important little sheep in our family. It was still inside the house yesterday, but this morning it was gone. Teacher, can you help us look for it?”

“I can’t be without my little sheep.”

The Sagittarius Sage nodded gently, his voice ethereal, smiling as he spoke,

“All right.”

“I shall help you, let’s go.”

He left the vine-covered house, his figure tall and agile, his steps light and powerful, each one perfectly in tune with the rhythm of nature, as if he himself were the soul of the forest, living and breathing with all creation.

The Silver Moon City-States show no signs of industrialization, still in an agricultural society, and the Reforging Church doesn’t even have a foothold here.

He and the elven boy came to his home, observing the worshipful look in the elf boy’s parents’ eyes, smiled, and shook his head, then touched the ground with a fingertip.

The next moment, “Wisdom” began to analyze calmly, his eyes filled with a silvery glow.

“I see it. There are slight traces of trampled grass by the creek, and the direction points away from the city-state. Along this direction, there are a few scattered pieces of lamb dung, which indicates the lamb has moved in this direction.”

“Hmm, it might have been chasing a butterfly or was attracted by other small animals. It unknowingly went too far along the creek and eventually got lost near a denser part of the woods.”

“Sheep can feel fear in unfamiliar environments. It might have chosen a concealed place to hide. Let’s go find it.”

After sharing all the information and analysis he had collected, “Wisdom” then led the others away from the city-state in search of the lost sheep.

Just as he had analyzed and guessed, indeed, the sheep had hidden itself in the thicket in that direction. The elven boy burst into cheers!

However, right after they found the sheep, he suddenly froze.

“Hmm…”

“I really didn’t expect ‘Understanding’ to be dead, with not even a soul left behind… And the one who killed her wields the power of the Sun, one of the few who can destroy a soul. Could it be one of the two of the Apocalypse from the Claud World with Sun power?”

In the Claud World, only two Heavenly Enlightenment Level powerful experts bear the Sun’s power—one is the Pope of the Sun Church, whose strength is second only to the Pope of the Salvation Church within the church powers and who even possesses a terrifying single-digit Forbidden rare artifact.

The other is the Saint of Sun, Child of the Sun God, worshipped by the whole of the southern Terrara Church State, revered by thousands.

That Saint of Sun has a reputation so high it even slightly supersedes the Pope of the Sun Church—followers of the Blazing Sun are almost universally filled with adoration for him.

“Wisdom” knows deep down how powerful that individual is, not just in strength, but more importantly, in mind and will.

“He should be aware of the connection between the Spiritual Tunic Secret Priory and the Primordial Tree and has decided to take action, it seems. Is he really indifferent even if it spawns a terrible war?”

Yes, even so, it doesn’t matter, as surely the Child of the Sun God must have found his answer.

“Wisdom” instantly had his answer and then shook his head slightly.

He waved his hand gently, causing ripples in the sky, as if conveying information to someone far away, or even in another world.

“Crown, hear my voice. We must find a way to deal with him first. Next, I will seek someone to collaborate with to counter the revered Child of the Sun God. To ensure complete success, I need you to be there.”

——

Meanwhile, in the capital of the Lorne Empire.

The power of the Child of the Sun God, that formidable force belonging to the Heavenly Enlightenment Level, was fully perceived.

The three Legends of the Apocalypse in Lorne, along with numerous early warning systems and barriers, were at this moment aware of that powerful force with solar attributes.

A few from the Heavenly Enlightenment Level began to communicate with each other through special forces.

“It’s him!”

“He’s indeed in the capital.”

“Yes, let’s go see him. It’s a good opportunity to try to resolve the conflict between him and the Fischer family.”

“Remember not to engage him in battle in the capital. Even if we could kill him, a fight to the death would leave the entire capital in ruins.”

In the cafe, Karno shook his head gently and suddenly said, “Can you let me go back into the painting?”

“That soul body is still waiting for me to return, and I never break a promise.”

The Child of the Sun God stared at Karno calmly, showing no interest in discussing this topic but instead said:

“Karno Fischer, people from the Lorne Empire will soon come to negotiate with me because the Fischer family is not qualified to communicate with me. They will inevitably send someone from here, a Lorne citizen.”

“At that time, I will explain everything openly and honestly to them and persuade the Lorne citizen to eradicate the Fischer family.”

Karno immediately understood that this was a negotiation plan targeting the Fischer family, and the potential consequences were very frightening.

The idea of committing suicide to solve the problem crossed his mind, but even so, as long as the Child of the Sun God finds an opportunity to contact the Lorne citizen, he can leak important intelligence at any time…

He is a trigger and bait, but not irreplaceable.

He had thought that Bast being mistakenly injured by the power of the Sun and failing to leak information about the family, then losing his memory and meeting him, was good fortune given by fate or the Lord of the Lost.

But it turned out that the truth about the Fischer family was still doomed to fall here…

The Child of the Sun God continued.

“As long as the Fischer family and the information about the end are all made public, a determined Lorne Empire, together with Terrara, could dispatch hundreds of Monarch powerful experts. Even without the presence of those at the level of Heavenly Enlightenment, they could destroy you.”

What to do?

He was right.

Karno fell into deep thought. If the Fischer family really became the thorn in the side of the Lorne Empire, resolved to exert all their power to exterminate them… the Fischer family would stand almost no chance of survival!

Because the number of Monarch powerful experts in the Lorne Empire was simply too many, the quantity of powerful Forbidden rare artifacts was too many as well, and there were even a dozen or so top-level Monarch powerful experts. Once the entire army was mobilized, not even the Dawn Church could withstand it.

“…”

He pondered.

Inside the prime minister’s residence in Lorne, Prime Minister William stood in a chamber decorated with mystical runes.

He closed his eyes and concentrated, gently raising his hands with palms facing upward, as if he were gathering the world’s most subtle forces.

As he began to chant a segment of an ancient and complex spell in a low voice, the entire room seemed to be enveloped by a faint blue light, and the air was filled with an indescribable energy fluctuation.

Suddenly, the figure of the Prime Minister vanished from the spot, as if swept away by an invisible wind, leaving only a faint magical aftertaste echoing in the air.

At the same time, in the cafe seat, the eyes of the Child of the Sun God glittered with a wisdom unlike that of ordinary people. He seemed to be waiting for something, occasionally looking into the distance, with a mysterious smile on his lips.

Karno couldn’t help but ask, “Who are you waiting for? My prophetic abilities haven’t detected anyone coming.”

“Mm, he’s about to arrive,” the Child of the Sun God calmly replied.

At that moment, the air in the cafe seemed to solidify, and everyone’s gaze was drawn to the sudden scene—-the respected Prime Minister appeared here out of nowhere, as if crossing from another dimension!

His arrival caused no sound but shocked everyone present like a thunderclap. The customers all stopped what they were doing, the waiter nearly dropped his tray, and everyone’s face was filled with amazement and disbelief.

“It’s been a long time, old friend.”

The Prime Minister smiled and nodded to the Child of the Sun God, exuding composure and confidence.

The Child of the Sun God responded with a look of anticipation, and Karno could tell that there seemed to be an unspoken understanding between them that required no words.

Compared to the Fischer family, Prime Minister William might have even deeper ties with the Saint of Sun, the Child of the Sun God… It wasn’t an impossible situation.

Karno was deeply lost in thought.

So, what exactly should he do, what should he say, to ensure that the Lorne Empire does not become an enemy of the Fischer family once their identity is exposed?
