Chapter 1378 - 644: Dolphin Bay Declaration: 23 Member Countries and 72 Virgins_2

Until the predetermined three days later, the time to attend the celebratory feast and alliance arrived.

Byron, who had gained substantial growth from the elder sister, ultimately couldn’t take a step out of her bedroom again.

This Byron was destined to stay in the Desert Empire as the Osiris of the Radiant Queen, and couldn’t sneak away like a scoundrel who disowns responsibility after the fact.

Fortunately, there were still eight Byrons outside, which was more than enough.

On the same day, Byron guarding the Royal Capital of Kingston also received the "Pope Decree" issued by the Church through official channels.

The report from the internal line was exactly the same, only with enhanced details:

"While prohibiting the two countries from interfering in each other’s spheres of influence, each could issue permits allowing supporters within the same camp to jointly develop the East and West hemispheres..."

This essentially meant that the Pope divided the Material World into two major camps: the East Hemisphere and the West Hemisphere.

The East Hemisphere camp, led by the North Sea Empire, comprised of Protestant forces, while the West Hemisphere, led by the Kingdom of Castilia, consisted of Orthodox Church forces.

Forces wanting to develop colonies and get rich must invest in these two major camps.

The Church was essentially transparently using the vital forces of the Protestant Doctrine to wear down the Kin, to gain development space for the Orthodox Church.

Fortunately, Byron’s side had already launched [Soul Gem] and [Fairy Dust], these two powerful artifacts, at the auction on Financial Street. No one was willing to give up this cake representing "longevity," and by the beginning of the month, they had all dispatched adventure fleets.

The advance party that acquired the "Nautical Chart" would probably reach Distant View Port within about a week.

Otherwise, faced with this decree, the countries and forces unwilling to be embroiled in religious war would surely observe cautiously, and the North Sea Empire might truly have to fight alone.

"Actually, that’s not bad. We have the confidence to ignore the Church Meridian, but others don’t know that.

If at this time, anyone could still bet on the North Sea Empire and stand firmly with us, it shows they are comrades who can weather hardships together; they can have a place in the "Saint Byron Code."

And the forces that continue to unite with Castilia and the Orthodox Church are enemies that must be eliminated without hesitation.

In future governance ecology, apart from those powerful and worthy of wooing figures, others won’t even get a hair’s worth."

Byron, stationed at Dolphin Bay, was planning in his mind when he suddenly heard someone opposite him softly exclaim:

"Time Freeze!"

It was only then that he returned to his senses from his multitasking thoughts, looking at the cute girl standing opposite him.

She appeared to be only about twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a Lolita-style exquisite dress.

Most notably, her eyes were not pupils and irises but two golden dials, emanating a powerful Divine Radiance at the peak of the Fifth Order limit.

As her mouth announced it, the ticking hands in the dial instantly stopped moving.

A layer of yellowish ripple spread from her fingertips, rapidly diffusing, dyeing the Material World with the same color, and time quickly slowed down and ultimately came to a complete halt.

Leaves twisting in the wind froze mid-air, a bird on a branch maintained its wing-flapping posture turned into a specimen, even the bonfire flame specially ignited for the celebratory feast stopped flickering....

This was precisely the powerful Black Sorcery kept by the Clock Tower School: "I do as I please in the Time-Stopped World!"

However, while the time of everything around had stopped, Byron still had the leisure to daydream:

"Fortunately, the Chief Wizard of the Clock Tower School, the [Eternal Witch] Christina, is a beautiful girl.

If it were a salacious old man, he might single-handedly change the style of the entire Corridor of Truth, labeling every historical timeline with a dubious ’avi’ tag."

Today was the day of the celebratory feast and alliance.

The Creation Nine Pillars School, Fairy Town School, Jade Record School, Clock Tower School, Prism School, Magic Statue School... and many other major schools gathered.

Even the Crystal Palace School, nearly delisted, and the recently established Origin Holy Spear School by Byron, gathered at Dolphin Bay, the battlefield witnessing a great human victory.

They were the actual rulers behind many human realms in the Corridor of Truth.

In the north of the Sunset Desert, there were about fifty first-rate countries and regions with multiple Fifth Order beings, and pure human forces accounted for only a quarter.

Each nation had the backing of one or more schools.

The strongest human realms included the Lonely Star Kingdom, which along with the second-ranking Flower Kingdom, were known as: "Lonely Star Kingdom has no lazy people, Flower Kingdom has no idle people."

These two were backed by the two strongest schools under the Creation Nine Pillars School: the Jade Record School and the Clock Tower School.

Likewise, the Chief [Gem Elder] Zelrich of the Jade Record School, the Chief [Eternal Witch] Christina of the Clock Tower School, and the Chief [Little Prince] Eck Supery of the Fairy Town School, relocated to the south of the Sunset Desert.

These three were recognized as the strongest beneath the Demigod [Magic Goddess] Radiant Queen.

They were individuals who could complete a Sixth Order ascension once the Truth Embodiment was fully born, or if they gathered the three major prerequisites.

After the last action of the Combined Divine Country, the Radiant Queen divided the spoils according to the agreement.

Each of the three obtained a divine position suitable for themselves.

Respectively, they were the [Jewelry] sub-divine position of the Master Creator, the [Seasons] sub-divine position of Horus, and the main divine position [Venus] of the Venus Goddess Ishtar.
