[Back to the main point. Besides the Executor, there is one more person you need to pay special attention to, and that is the Star High Priest.]

[That person is the strongest beneath the Executor within the Polar Star Society. He is the only human to have successfully fused with the bloodline of the Emerald Saint Progenitor. If the ancient dragon power had not been sealed, then if the Star High Priest wanted to become a god through the Saint path, he should already have been able to break through the boundary between human and god.]

[Even if the Star High Priest has not become a god, she, Rona, still admits that she is no match for that person.]

[If her prediction is correct, the severely wounded Executor should already have returned to the Polar Star Society at this moment, using the bloodline power of the Emerald Saint Progenitor and the healing spells of the Star High Priest to recover from his injuries.]

[That Emerald Saint Progenitor, after being squeezed for bloodline power many times and suffering day and night humi… humiliation, is already at the end of it’s strength.]

[If the Executor squeezes it’s bloodline again this time to recover his own injuries, then that Emerald Saint Progenitor probably will not be able to hold on any longer… That is why she told you to set out immediately.]

[The conditions of the other dragon progenitors are slightly better than the Saint Progenitor’s, but not by much.]

[At the root of it all, just as the Abyss prophecy says, no matter how the servant chooses, Omniscient True Knowledge has only one path ahead, and that is defeat.]

[Once Omniscient True Knowledge dies, the servant will become the only god in the world who controls the Omniscient Authority. Naturally, unsealing the power of the ancient dragons will no longer be a problem.]

[At that time, those members of the Polar Star Society who had fused dragon bloodlines, along with the star gods who had fused the bloodlines of the ancient dragon progenitors, would all gain unprecedented tremendous potential due to the unsealing of the ancient dragon power.]

[The servant is using the once-loyal dragon race to nourish His current new believers and subordinate gods.]

[Such an attitude of loyalty, together with the declarations of loyalty contained within the two prophecies… the servant truly has already been assimilated by the Abyss to the point of no return.]

[After hearing all this and understanding everything, you fall into a long silence.]

[This time, the enemy is so powerful that you simply cannot find any hope of victory at all…]

[Rona clearly also knows that this trip to the Polar Star Society is staking everything on a tremendous risk where death is all but certain, just to gamble on a possibility that can hardly even be called hope, and yet she still resolutely chooses to travel beside you and fight at your side.]

[Rona sees the look in your eyes and seems to understand what you are thinking. She shakes her head and says that this trip to the Polar Star Society Headquarters may not necessarily face the worst-case scenario.]

[According to what you said, you severely injured the Executor using Demon God power. Even if he squeezes the bloodline of the Emerald Saint Progenitor again, it will not be so easy for him to recover his injuries.]

[Moreover, whether the Executor is even in the Polar Star Society right now is still uncertain…]

[According to what she knows of the Executor, after initially suppressing his injuries, he should go to the hidden Star Palace concealed in the void to report everything that happened in the underground Abyss to the star gods.]

[You and she did not delay for too long, so if you head to the Polar Star Society now, you should be able to hit exactly this time gap.]

[…]

[…]

[After the carriage travels for most of the day, you finally arrive at the Imperial Capital, reaching your destination.]

[The moment the carriage door opens, surging thick mist presses in from outside into the compartment.]

[You look outside and see only a vast whiteness. Visibility is frighteningly low, and the endless mist gives off an incomparably cold and evil feeling.]

[The concentration of the Veil of Knowledge in Saint Etienne, the Imperial Capital, far surpasses anywhere you have seen before!]

[Rona seems long since accustomed to it. She leads you off the carriage and only after taking a few steps forward can she barely make out the ruined outline of a building emerging ahead…]

[This is a dilapidated two-story residence. The building’s outer walls are already covered with climbing vines, and it looks as though it has been abandoned for a very long time.]

[You have discovered the hidden stronghold of the Polar Star Society Headquarters!]

[Rona leads you into the residence and, completely familiar with the route, opens a hidden passage leading down to the basement…]

[On the wall at the deepest part of the basement hangs a gigantic painting, depicting endless starry skies and a magnificent galaxy.]

[Rona explains to you that this is one of the entrances leading to the Polar Star Society Headquarters, and also her private entrance. Once you go in later, you are not to speak. She will handle everything.]

[But your attention is not on the painting at all. Instead, you stare blankly at the enormous page floating nearby and giving off a faint glow.]

[You have discovered a fragment of The Book of Salvation, the Resting Page!]

[Do you want to step forward and touch the page, activating resonance?]

Seeing the Resting Page, Lin Xun did not feel happy, but instead unusually knitted his brows.

This chapter was the one with the fewest respawn points he had ever seen.

From the moment he entered the chapter until now, he had only encountered that one Resting Page at the starting point, which meant that every time he died, he had to spend ages running all the way from the spawn point again.

Now that he had reached the Imperial Capital, this hellish game seemed finally to have grown a conscience and given him a new respawn point.

“…The appearance of a Resting Page here is probably not a good sign.”

“This very likely means that the Polar Star Society Headquarters is extremely dangerous, dangerous enough that even the hellish game has to put a respawn point right in front of the boss room, so that the Apostle does not have to run for half a day every time he dies.”

Lin Xun activated the Resting Page and set this place as the new respawn point.

[You possess the Shell of the Polar Star Society Starrealm Envoy Who Gazes Upward!]

[You take the Teleportation Badge handed to you by Rona and nod, indicating that you understand. She will handle everything in a moment.]

[Seeing that you are already prepared, Rona reaches out and touches the gigantic painting…]

[Suddenly, a tremendous suction force appears. The giant painting ripples like the surface of water, and you do not resist, being pulled into the painting together with Rona…]

[Teleporting…]

[…]

[…]

[Teleportation successful!]

[You open your eyes and discover that you and Rona are in a vast great hall. The four walls of the hall are painted with countless stars, and in the center hangs an incomparably enormous refined copper astrolabe.]

[The astrolabe as a whole is several times larger than a public carriage compartment. Its structure is precise and complex. Dozens of hollow refined copper celestial bodies, some emitting faint light and some dim and dark, are arranged within it, and even the smallest of them is half the size of a person.]

[These extremely complicated and exquisite celestial bodies together form the main body of the giant astrolabe.]

[Standing before the astrolabe is a star mage wearing a tall pointed hat. It stands before the control console, head raised, stargazing.]

[You have discovered the Polar Star Society Stargazer Who Gazes Upward!]

[Upon seeing the appearance of the Polar Star Society Stargazer Who Gazes Upward for the first time, your Knowledge stat increases by 20000! Current Knowledge stat: 79000/90800]

[When the Stargazer sees you and Rona appear, it cannot help but freeze, blurting out that weren’t you two supposed to have died in the underground Abyss?]

[Rona replies coldly that who died in the Abyss? It was Lord Executor who withdrew first, while she and Lucas the Starrealm Envoy fought desperately their way out and escaped back to headquarters.]

[Now she must immediately meet with Lord Executor and report secret information about the Abyss!]

[Hearing this, the Stargazer looks grave, as though it dares not delay in the slightest. It immediately manipulates the control console, and the giant astrolabe begins moving with a clacking sound…]

[A group of small refined copper celestial bodies slide sideways, revealing a large celestial body that is dim and without light.]

[Seeing this, the Stargazer replies that Lord Executor is not currently at headquarters, and that Rona can report to the Star High Priest instead…]

[Rona secretly lets out a breath of relief that cannot be noticed. She shakes her head and says that this matter must be reported to the Executor, no one else will do. Since Lord Executor is not here, she is going to the Painting Storage Room… ]

Rona had previously told you that the teleportation painting named Despair Abyss, which imprisoned the dragon progenitors, was stored in the Painting Storage Room.
