Chapter 491: The Disappearance of the Dawn Society

Aiden clenched his fists.

He could feel space and thunder moving with his every gesture, as if they were extensions of his own body. Their power had increased many times over.

"I’ve already touched the threshold of an Intermediate God."

He muttered to himself, a faint smile rising at the corner of his mouth.

This integration had made his foundation unimaginably strong.

He pushed open the door of the secret chamber, and sunlight fell across his handsome face.

Jade had been waiting outside for him for a long time, but her expression was unusually serious.

"Aiden, you’re finally out."

Jade’s voice was low, even carrying a faint chill that was hard to notice.

"What happened?"

Aiden frowned slightly. He immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"The Dawn Society."

Jade handed him a top-secret report and took a deep breath.

"Over the past month, the Dawn Society has been terrifyingly quiet."

"Ever since you killed the Heavenly Demon vanguard and disrupted their ritual, Egretta has completely vanished."

"And that’s not all. Every known Dawn Society base on Earth was abandoned overnight."

"They didn’t fight back. They didn’t make any threats. It’s as if... they completely disappeared from this world."

Jade looked at Aiden, worry almost spilling from her eyes.

Aiden took the report. A cold, dark light flashed in his strange double pupils.

A mad dog biting people was not the truly frightening thing.

What was truly frightening was a poisonous snake lying in wait.

The Dawn Society’s abnormal silence often meant one thing:

The next storm would destroy everything.

Aiden raised a finger, and a wisp of purple-gold lightning appeared at his fingertip, burning the top-secret report into ash.

"Egretta is a madman deep down," Aiden said. "But madmen are often the best at waiting."

His voice echoed through the empty courtyard, carrying the unquestionable authority of a god.

Jade stood beside him. Her moon-white dress fluttered in the strong wind, and the sharpness of the Divine-Eyed Swordsman flashed briefly in her eyes.

"We used the Great Shaw Empire’s shadow guards, the Hawthorne family’s merchant network, and even the AbyssDragon Clan’s intelligence network."

"But Egretta and all the leaders of the Dawn Society have vanished from Earth completely."

"It doesn’t make sense, unless..."

Jade stopped before finishing. Her expression turned grim.

"Unless they found a safe place that even a god’s will cannot reach."

Aiden stood with his hands behind his back. His double pupils narrowed slightly as he looked toward the distant horizon.

"They are waiting. Waiting for a chance to kill us in one strike."

"A mad dog is dangerous when it bites. But a poisonous snake hiding in the dark is even worse. Still, that does not mean we can only sit here and wait."

Jade took a deep breath. With a gentle sweep of her hand through the air, a glowing blue energy star map unfolded before them.

"Aiden, take a look at this first."

"I found this change after comparing the data from all ancient ruins on Earth over the past six months."

Aiden lowered his eyes and looked at the map.

On the star map, seven bright golden lights were scattered across different locations.

Each light represented a forbidden ruin that sealed an ancient Strength.

"Six months ago, after the battle at the western base of the Great Shaw Empire, we strengthened the seal on ’Pride.’"

Jade pointed at one of the lights, her expression becoming even more serious.

"In theory, once the seal was strengthened, the leaking energy should have dropped sharply."

"But according to our monitoring, the energy from these seven ruins did not weaken. Instead, it began to show a very strange kind of fluctuation."

Aiden raised an eyebrow.

His Inner Spirit Strength swept across the star map in an instant, and he quickly sensed that unusual rhythm.

"These energies are moving."

"Yes. They’re moving, and in a very regular pattern."

Jade’s voice trembled slightly.

"They are ’breathing.’"

"Every twelve hours, the energy in all seven ruins rises and falls at the same time."

"It’s like... a giant heart slowly waking up, adjusting the breathing rhythm of the entire Earth."

Aiden lightly tapped the air with his fingertip.

A ripple of the Law of Space spread out and merged into the star map.

"The Heavenly Demon doesn’t have this kind of power. The Dawn Society is even less capable."

"The purity of this law energy is beyond the limit of a lower Demon God."

In the air, Zoey’s blue holographic projection slowly appeared. Countless streams of dazzling data flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"Aiden, my Heavenly Control System database has reached the same conclusion."

"The source of this rhythm is not on the surface of Earth. It is inside the ’Gate’ deep within Earth’s core."

Zoey’s voice was low and solemn. In the quiet courtyard, it sounded especially clear.

"It is the Lord of the Primordial."

"He is on the other side of the Gate, across countless dimensions, slowly adjusting the energy structure on Earth’s surface."

"His purpose is to prepare in advance for the evolutionary leap that will happen when the Gate opens."

Aiden’s pupils suddenly shrank. Two bright divine lights burst from his double pupils.

"Evolutionary leap... He is already preparing to push open the Gate?"

"Not just preparing. He has already started the countdown."

Zoey projected a huge battle map. It clearly showed the movements of three major forces.

"The Heavenly Demon Seven Pillars are waking up faster. The Dawn Society is hiding in the dark and gathering strength. And the Lord of the Primordial is adjusting the laws from the inside."

"All three forces have pressed the accelerator at the same time, at the same key point."

The air seemed to freeze in that moment.

Aiden felt a pressure he had never felt before. It was like the will of the entire universe was pressing down on him.

"Based on the current ’breathing’ speed of the ruins’ energy, how long will it take for the Lord of the Primordial to finish his plan?"

Aiden asked in a low voice. There was no sign of joy or anger in his tone.

Jade raised her head. Her beautiful eyes were filled with worry and urgency.

"Three to four years."

"At most, four years. By then, the Lord of the Primordial will have completed his setup, and the Gate will be forced open."

Aiden’s hands, clasped behind his back, tightened slightly. His knuckles turned pale from the force.

Three to four years.

That meant he had to find the remaining five Primordial Pillars and gain their recognition within three to four years.

Otherwise, when the Lord of the Primordial opened the Gate, if Aiden had not gathered the Strength of the Seven Pillars, he would never be able to push open the final Gate of Evolution.

And Earth would face complete, irreversible destruction.

In that moment, the pressure of time became so clear that it was almost suffocating.

"Four years..."

Aiden suddenly laughed softly. He raised his head and looked at the golden formation barrier flowing across the sky. A fierce fighting spirit burned in his eyes.

"That’s enough."

"If he wants to open the Gate, then I’ll be waiting for him right in front of it!"

...

At the core formation point of Celestial Imperial City.

Purple-gold lightning moved through the golden barrier like ten thousand raging dragons, tearing countless black cracks through the void.

Aiden sat cross-legged at the center of the great formation.

Around him, the Law of Space turned into hundreds of millions of clear fragments, reflecting a terrible, destructive light.

Boom!

His eyes suddenly opened. Divine light surged inside his double pupils, and a solid wave of godly power made the void hum and shake.

38%.

That was his current understanding of the Force of Laws.

If he wanted to become an Intermediate God, that number had to reach at least 50%.

And he only had three short years left.

More than that, Wrath, Greed, Sloth, Lust, and Gluttony-the five remaining Primordial Pillars-were still giving off that strange "breathing" somewhere in unknown corners of Earth.

Every extra day he delayed, the danger of Earth’s destruction grew a little stronger.

Just as Aiden was about to close his eyes and continue studying the laws, a streak of white light suddenly tore through the clouds above Celestial Imperial City.

Cold.

An extreme cold spread out in an instant, causing the temperature of the entire city to drop by dozens of degrees.

Bella stepped down slowly from the snowstorm, walking on steps made of ice crystals.

Her hair was as white as snow. Although she tried hard to hold back her divine-tier pressure, the space around her still kept forming tiny ice cracks.

"You shouldn’t stay here."

Aiden rose from the void and stood with his hands behind his back. His voice was calm, without the slightest ripple.

"My Divine Domain can wait for a little while."

Bella stopped and looked straight at Aiden. Her beautiful eyes were cold, and her tone allowed no argument.

"Pride and Envy almost killed you."

"Aiden, you may be a rare genius, but right now, you are only a Lesser God."

"The five remaining Primordial Pillars are each stranger and far more dangerous than the first two."

Bella’s voice was cold and firm, echoing through the empty void.

"I’ve made my decision. I’m not going back to the Divine Domain. I’ll stay in Celestial Imperial City."

"If you lose control, I am the only Greater God on Earth, and I am also the best backup you have."

Aiden looked at her. A deep light flickered in his double pupils.

For Celestial Imperial City right now, the strength of a Greater God was like an anchor holding everything steady.

"Thank you."

Aiden did not refuse. He simply nodded.

Bella said nothing more. She only gave him a long, deep look, then turned into a streak of frost-white light and fell into the city.

Night came.

The moonlight over Celestial Imperial City looked cold and pale.

Outside Bella’s temporary residence, frost flowers glowed with a faint blue light under the moon.

Creak-

The door was gently pushed open.

Cheryl walked in, wearing a short black-and-red dress. The dark aura of a battle Miko flowed faintly around her.

Bella sat by the window, playing with a piece of ice crystal that had not melted for ten thousand years. She did not turn around.

"You’re here."

"I’m here."

Cheryl closed the door behind her and casually set up a dark barrier with her battle Miko power.

The light inside the room dimmed at once.

Only the light in their eyes remained, meeting in the darkness.

That night, the two women sat in the room for a full four hours.

There was no earth-shaking battle between gods.

There was no clash of witchcraft and frost.

But the waves of law energy leaking faintly from inside the barrier made every Guardian in the building hold their breath.

No one knew what they talked about.
