Chapter 793: Interlude: Dawn Council’s Conundrum
This day will be sothing that everyone will rember for their whole lives…
No, today isn’t so kind of ‘special’ day. In fact nothing was scheduled today. It was ant to be a normal day where everyone just casually spends their ti minding their own business.
For so reason though…they could feel it.
The sensation was prickling at their skin, making them a tad bit uncomfortable and wary. They can’t help but be extra careful today since they know, sothing’s about to happen. What that might be is still a mystery to them but their wise enough to know their place.
—
At the center of the swirling galaxy that the Divine Realm is, there is a place hovering upon that vast, colorful and extrely elusive space.
It is a small island – at least to naked eye it is. A grotto-heaven, which contained nurous things and beings.
The island was akin to a paradise. An oasis to a dessert. Blessed by the Divine Light and the Laws themselves. It was a Holy Land where only a few people can access.
Here, the sun never sets nor rises. It is perpetually dawn. A symbol of what they represented.
All sorts of precious treasures could be seen in here. Each and every single one would make anybody’s eyes red with greed. Spiritual Ingredients, Ores, hell, even weapons of mass destruction are birthed here.
Everything here has value. Yes, that includes even the smallest grain of sand. This whole place is treasure. One that has to be protected at all cost.
Such responsibility though, fell into the hands of people who happened to discover this place first – the Dawn Council. More specifically, its founding mbers.
See, this place has a rich history, spanning for eons. Many people ca here, so even perished here, turning into nothing but nutrients for this land to prosper even more. This land has always been an important place for Humanity, for this very land beca the sole supply of all manner and sorts of resources for the Divine Realm.
It’s safe to say that without this place, Divine Realm wouldn’t exist. Humanity itself would cease to exist.
The Dawn Council’s founding mbers were the ones to discover this place first. After discovering the secrets it held, they decided to protect it with their lives on the line out of necessity and responsibility. Of course, their duty has its own rits.
Doing their job properly allowed to reach heights they never thought they could reach. In fact, the first Divine Knight to ever grace humanity ca from the Dawn Council’s founding mbers.
The prestige of their group spreads far and wide. So much so that they were elected as Humanity’s representatives – the Pillar and Leader of Humanity as a race. It’s a heavy burden to carry but they took it. They bore those responsibilities since if they don’t, who else will?
Unfortunately, the Heart of Man has always been a fickle things.
With plenty of resources being birthed under their gaze, the enticent of greed and obsession was palpable. The founding mbers weren’t at fault. They have clean intentions from start to finish.
It is those who ca after them that wasn’t…
Even though Divine Knights could live for an absurd amount of ti, without shattering the barrier that Ti and Space imposed on them, it’s impossible for them to live forever. It is a bit of a sha but it isn’t so easy to go against their fate.
The founding mbers found themselves growing old. They were fine with that. Dying is sothing they’ve already expected. What makes things difficult about this is the fact that they needed soone to replace them.
They thought that they passed on their positions to the right person. Well, in the beginning at least, they did. Unfortunately, the seed of greed is just too hard to suppress. It grew inside of them and things went terrible.
No, there was no wars or any strong argunts. There was only calm and indifference, so much so that it makes one think that nothing changes. And that’s precisely what made things more complicated.
In hindsight. That’s the point isn’t it? At the end of the day, a thief who announces their presence and their actions is just an attention-seeking retard.
Sches on top of sches. That’s the na of the ga. Careful, thodical, sly, decisive and oh so silent. This was the way to ensure they get what they want without raising a ruckus.
In fact, their planning was so detailed and thodical that even if their sches were caught, nobody could stop them. In fact, so were inspired to do the sa.
…which ultimately beca the reason why the Dawn Council rotted from the inside.
Surprisingly enough, even though the Dawn Council was elected as Humanity’s Leader and Representative, they aren’t the strongest force that Humanity possesses. If anything, they’re more like the commander of an army.
They’re the leader, sure but they’re not the ones who will be out there on the battlefield. And judging how corrupt the Dawn Council as beco, they will never be on the battlefield.
Why would they? Who would risk their safety when they could just laze around and prosper? When they could just set up sches and profit endlessly? Why settle for pain and glory when they could swim in riches and enjoy a safe and secured space that other people worked so hard to create?
The current mbers of the Divine Realms are nothing but self-absorbed jerks. Snakes who can open their maws so wide you could fit an entire island in them.
Their overwhelming greed and endless sches made them, for the most part at least, untouchable. At the surface, the were the benevolent gods, people who claid to protect humanity and all. They were even worshipped as such. In truth, though? They’re nothing but parasites.
Their greed almost pierces the heavens. The false sense of invulnerability made them drunk lavishly in power that they did sothing stupid.
And that stupidity born out of their carelessness, is now coming back to bite them in the ass.
Of all the things they decided to lay their hands-on, they just had to pick on the most troubleso one – the Ancient Elysium Sect.
The Ancient Elysium Sect has a longer history compared to them. They are a reclusive type of people shouldering a heavy burden in order to ensure Divine Realm’s safety. They’ve carried this burden even before the council’s foundation.
Many people are aware of the Ancient Elysium Sect’s burden. In fact, the reason why they are worshipped is because of what they do.
If the Dawn Council was Humanity’s Leader and Representative, then the Ancient Elysium Sect represents the barrier that secured humanity.
Anything that the Ancient Elysium Sect does is never wrong. They will never be wrong. This statent had been passed down from ancient past until now. The Dawn Council is of course, aware of this.
That being said, the current situation begs the question; Why did the Dawn Council decided to provoke the Ancient Elysium Sect?
Well, the answer is simple. Jealousy.
See, soone from the Dawn Council’s ranks brought up the fact that they even though they were the de-facto leader of Humanity, giants like the Ancient Elysium Sect makes them look bad. They’re just a leader in na, truth of the matter is, even without their existence, Divine Realm would probably be fine.
That…really irked so people. Their petty pride were ruthlessly stomped on.
It’s not like they’re naive. They were far from one actually. They already knew about this fact but hearing soone blatantly point it out is just too much to bear.
So? What did they do? Sche of course, that’s what!
The existence of The Exiles were never a secret to them. They’ve always known where the Allfather is. If they wanted to, they could’ve exposed his location to his enemies so that he’ll be hunted down. Did the council do that?
Of course not!
Heck, they even used it as a bargaining chip. They approached the Allfather and set up this little sche. They were the reason why The Exiles managed to abduct that many people and force them to beco lackeys.
All of this, for the sake of freeing the Devil Emperor.
The Allfather wanted to free him since he wants to fuse back with the main body and possibly contact the abyssals. The Dawn Council on the other just wanted an excuse to sar dirt on the Ancient Elysium Sect’s na.
Before the Devil Emperor was freed, they’d swoop in, take the credit and get the Ancient Elysium Sect’s gratitude. They never planned on letting the Devil Emperor wreck havoc to their territory in the first place. They just wanted to ruffle the feathers of the sect.
Well, how did that go for them?
Horrible of course.
Never in their wildest dream did they think that soone from the Ancient Elysium Sect was better at this ga. Before they knew it, the situation already escalated into sothing out of their control.
Now, all they could do is wait.
Wait until the Ancient Elysium Sect visits them and hopefully get rid of the monsters who’s glaring at them at the opposite side of their gates.
