Chapter 560: Chapter 412 I Would Rather Never Have Been Born (4K)_2

The flags flying high on the city walls rustled softly in the breeze, like a low war song, heralding the impending storm.

On the streets, where pedestrians usually bustled, there was no one in sight, replaced instead by the occasional patrol of the “Black Imperial Guard” from the Seven Luminaries Transcendent Army.

They were clad in black iron armor, each step firm and forceful; their long spears flashed coldly in the sunlight as if they could pierce through all darkness.

The soldiers’ faces bore no excess of expression, only loyalty to their duty and a craving for victory.

Inside the royal palace, the tension had reached its peak; the golden glazed tiles shone dazzlingly under the sunlight, the palace gates were tightly shut, and the guards were like men facing great foes, their gaze as sharp as eagles. Inside the palace, ministers hurried between rooms, clutching the latest combat reports and intelligence, their faces etched with anxiety and unease.

Upon the city towers, commanders stood high above, their gaze piercing through layers of cloud mist, fixed upon the distant horizon.

These commanders were strong figures personally groomed by the Military God Emperor of the Seven Suns—an elite not only in individual combat but also in commanding forces.

At the very heart of the city, the ordinary citizens were also contributing in their own ways; women busied themselves sewing garments for the soldiers while children sang inspiring songs with their tender voices, and the elderly recounted tales of the Military God of the Seven Suns, buoying the spirits of the younger generation.

The entire city from the noblest royals to the most ordinary citizens was tightly bound by an invisible link.

All members of the Fischer family were within the palace, waiting with some trepidation.

Darren lifted his head, pondering. Even though the big barrier of the Empire level made only a slight weakening effect on those of the Heavenly Enlightenment Level, it excelled in significantly boosting their allies.

This was good news.

By the time it came, even the weaker Monarch Level Extraordinary Exponents would have an opportunity to trouble those of Heavenly Enlightenment.

In fact, that was enough.

Those powerful Imperial Guards of Monarch Level knew one thing—their destiny and purpose were singular: to protect the God of War Emperor of the Seven Suns!

Once he truly ascended to a higher level, the Seven Suns would conquer all!

“End…”

“Can you hear my voice?”

Karl, looking down from the sky, paused slightly in surprise.

Who?

He suddenly heard a faint, ethereal voice filled with persistence, determination, and power.

In the next moment, Karl found himself in a dimension filled with blue light, where all buildings were outlines made of lines, and people turned into pale blue luminous orbs.

Those so-called orbs were actually—souls.

Karl now understood; he was abruptly pulled into the dimension of souls by someone.

At the profound depths of the soul dimension, a light bluish white shimmer floated, seeming like the gentlest streak of light at dawn on the horizon—neither completely solid nor purely illusionary.

This shimmer possessed indescribable softness and purity; not glaring, yet capable of penetrating the fog of the mind to touch the most hidden corners of the soul.

Its form seemed to change with the observer’s mood, sometimes like a light gauze, gently brushing past the heart, bringing a moment of tranquility and solace; other times, it coalesced into delicate points of light, dancing and spinning like the furthest constellation in the night sky, silently revealing the deepest secrets of the universe.

The pale white shimmer emitted a warmth that wasn’t scorching, silent yet speaking in a way that transcended words, dialoguing with the many surrounding souls, guiding those who were lost to find peace and strength within their hearts.

Suddenly, Karl understood—the pale white shimmer was the soul of the Seven Stars Emperor.

That man had grown increasingly powerful; aside from the power of Bloodline, for some reason, his soul had also become distinctive, making it appear pale white amidst the many pale blue shadows.

Karl was very curious to see what color his own soul was!

However, no one could truly see their own soul; in this dimension, he could only glimpse the souls of others.
