Then, another statement surprised him.
“Do you think we should destroy the Fischer family?”
“Brass Gear” hesitated for a moment, but immediately nodded without hesitation, “Of course!”
The Seven Stars Emperor revealed a meaningful expression.

In the ancient and grand cathedral of the Salvation Church, the towering spires pointed directly into the sky, and the afterglow of the sunset shone through the stained glass windows, casting splendid lights and shadows on the ground.
In the central hall, around a long and wide wooden table, sat several bishops dressed in magnificent robes, with solemn expressions on their faces.
In the center of the table lay a thick Redemption Church Code, beside it was a detailed report on the Fischer family and several related letters, these documents detailed the recent actions of the Fischer family and the controversies they caused.
One of the older bishops, holding a scepter, first broke the silence:
“The actions of the Fischer family have drawn our extensive attention. Not only have they severely harmed the church’s interests, but they also pose a great hidden danger to the entire world!”
Another bishop added, “Indeed, the Fischer family has risen in wealth and status in recent years, but they actually lost their way right from the beginning!”
Then, a young bishop expressed his concerns, “We must take action as soon as possible…”
His Holiness the Pope of the Salvation Church was not here, but the bishops in attendance nodded in agreement and began discussing specific strategies.
Eventually, after a vigorous discussion, the bishops reached a consensus.
“The name Fischer must disappear from the world.”
——
Nasir City.
During the dim and tranquil twilight, a man with silver-white hair slowly entered the ancient graveyard of his family, his full head of silver tinged with a faint golden glow.
Around him were the resting places of successive generations of the Fischer family, including direct bloodlines and non-direct members, each tombstone marking the end of a story.
“…”
He slowly walked to a tombstone engraved with a familiar name, the resting place of his beloved wife, where the words on the tombstone gently whispered in the breeze.
Chris stopped, his hands lightly caressing the cold stone, as if he could feel his wife Vanessa’s presence.
She…
must have met the Lord of the Lost by now…
Is the world after death different for a devout person…
He gazed at his wife’s tombstone, sinking into deep silence, his thoughts running wild like untamed horses.
In this brief moment of silence, Chris quickly reviewed his life—from a green youth to the present, each achievement, each failure, each joy, and each sorrow flashed quickly through his mind.
Regardless of past glories or love and being loved, all would eventually return to dust.
Only death is the inescapable end for everyone.
This realization did not bring fear or despair; instead, it made his heart extraordinarily tranquil.
“Goodbye.”
Eventually, Chris sighed softly, his eyes both relieved and reluctant, slowly turned around, and left the graveyard, his strides more firm than when he arrived.
He knew that death is the end yet not the end; in the remaining years, he would continue to write his own story until he too becomes a stone on this land.
Chris’s figure elongated, his eyes sparkling with an unprecedented light.
Suddenly, an indescribable energy fluctuation filled the air, slowly spreading outwards, gently touching every inch of space like ripples.
Under this force, the hustle and bustle of Nasir City gradually dissolved into nothingness. Vehicles stopped their roaring, pedestrians froze in place, even the breeze seemed to forget to blow, leaves remained immobile, and the entire world seemed to have pressed the pause button.
Time lost its meaning of flow at this moment, and everything became exceptionally quiet, leaving only Chris as the only living creature in this still world.
The Fischer family had not performed any rituals yet, however, the Extraordinary materials needed for ascending the Eighth Tier had disappeared.
“Finally fulfilled… ‘parting with the most important beloved possession deep in one’s heart’.”
At the same moment, Karl also rekindled a new constellation in the Spirit Realm.
In the renewal stood an aged man with black and white hair, expressionless, standing amidst the tombstones as if devoid of any life.
The Eighth Tier of the Path of Tranquility.
“Funeral Bearer”.
