Chapter 540 - Chapter 540: Chapter 500: Era of Transformation and Division of Family (2/2)
With uprisings and turmoil in the conquered regions of the Lorne Empire emerging one after another and internal public dissatisfaction with the war gradually intensifying, wealth distribution became increasingly uneven. The disparity in living standards was so vast that it could be said a chasm existed between heaven and hell within the nation. As a result, they were forced to slow their pace and begin to address the domestic troubles.
As for the powerful Seven Stars Empire, it fell silent during the period when the Lorne people were desperately and frantically expanding.
It seemed they were plotting a most critical plan, one that everything else could temporarily be ignored, and many could surmise what sort of outcome such a plan would ultimately lead to.
Many were kept awake at night by the presence of the “Military God,” the strongest force.
Over the course of a decade, the Fischer family steadily completed its total control over the Eastern Continent. At the same time, the power of the Dawn Church also began to expand outward, infiltrating not only Lorne and the Seven Stars but even the overseas colonies of other nations.
This part was mainly managed by the “demon of Cyart” Darren Fischer and the “witch” Hecate. Both of them lacked what one might call a moral bottom line. Using various methods, they began to insert Dawn Church followers into families, industries, and professions of all nations.
If they could control a family or an industry, all the better!
In fact, they succeeded more than once, continuously expanding the sphere of influence of the Dawn Church.
The Dawn Church expanded stealthily and cautiously. However, as the number of its followers grew and their activities increased, no matter how cautious they were, they could not avoid detection, especially since the higher-ups of the various nations noticing them were no fools.
Thus, when they occasionally stumbled in their plans to take control of families, industries, or important figures in enemy countries—either through oversight or perhaps because the plan was complete, but coincidences and accidents occurred.
One time, an attempt to control the education system of a Lorne overseas colony abruptly failed, resulting in hundreds of followers of the Lord of the Lost being arrested and tried by the local church and Lorne citizens. This incident occurred after a local headmaster who had reached the 4th Rank of the Path of Knowledge chose to commit suicide.
The concept of the “Power of Consecution” nearly came to light!
Upon learning of the existence of the “Power of Consecution,” the Lorne high command immediately sealed off the news, completely banning any discourse about it from spreading.
They were truly frightened this time…
Even more so than when Chris reached “Heavenly Enlightenment.”
Power of Consecution?
What in the world was that…
Could even ordinary people, without an Extraordinary bloodline, achieve great power?
Incredible!
Shocking!
The Fischer family and the Dawn Church, along with their backing powerful divinities, undoubtedly possessed the power to change the social fabric!
Their power, elusive and uncontrollable, filled people with fear and despair… but also held an irresistible allure and draw!
Soon, seven years passed.
At thirty-two, Moter Fischer and Elena Locke were married last year, and to this day have no offspring.
His older brother, thirty-five-year-old Cyart Grand Prince Auston Fischer, married a woman from the Romann family and had two daughters.
His twenty-eight-year-old sister Margo Fischer married a man from the Frosac family and had two sons and a daughter.
Carter, the son of Felix, had reached forty-five years of age and had married women from two different families due to familial interests, ultimately fathering two sons and two daughters.
The number of direct members in the Fischer family had reached twenty-three.
Eventually, for easier management of the entire East, the Fischer family underwent a division.
To this day, the Fischer families of the white-haired lineage and the black-haired lineage have been distinctively known as “White” and “Black” respectively, headed by Christine and Darren.
As for the family’s greatest legend, “Death God” Chris, he was often missing without a trace, very mysterious, and he seemed to have no involvement in the division of the family.
For many of the new generation, that ancestor was already a thorough legend.
When the family divided, due to the marital alliance with Queen Arte, the capital city Nasir and Cyart were left to Christine and other “White Fischers.”
Darren Fischer took the “Black Fischers” northward from Cyart, and they established a new family stronghold on the ruins of the Rhea Capital.
Time silently moved into the Blazing Sun Era year 1900.
Due to the vast influx of Spiritual Power over twenty years, Karl finally sensed that The Eighth Seal, which had been suppressing him, was about to be broken!
“Just one final touch is still needed… I need the power of a single-digit Forbidden rare artifact; unfortunately, I still haven’t found a way to unseal that ‘Omnipotent Vision.'”
The “Black Fischer” family was also preparing to celebrate a hundredth birthday banquet for their Family Head Darren Fischer, an event that would not only include their own internal family members but also the “White Fischers” along with various families and powers from across the Eastern Continent offering congratulations.
