Chapter 730 Age of Chaos

In the instant that the New Testament appeared in the realm of aether, the projection of the Sacred City began to glow brightly as the massive gravitational force of music theory began to act from a distance on the element of Land of Dreams. Countless holy spirits opened their eyes from a deep sleep and stared in the direction of the enemy. It was as if the stars were fighting above the vault of heaven and were trying to push each other down the throne and into the abyss of the human world.

Sacred City had been gathering the power of the human world for past centuries, so in an instant, the projection of the Land of Dreams began to shake and was about to be covered by the fog that was hanging in time. However, in no time at all, the light from Eden lit up. The stars spun and the light of Eden transformed into a torrent that formed an obstruction in front of the Sacred City. This helped to release most of the pressure for Ye Qingxuan.

Shortly after, pockets of light began to glow weakly in all directions. The School of Anglo had finally made up their minds and were pushing their school’s aether wonderland and element towards the direction of the Land of Dreams.

With the New Testament as an axis, the projection of the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth stacked together with the Land of Dreams, then the massive net of aether extended from the physical world and connected to the Land of Dreams. Countless branches of network brought endless power to the Land of Dreams, just like how blood vessels supplied blood to the heart.

The flame of Catinat appeared along with the power of Leviathan as they were riveted directly below the Land of Dreams and turned into solid ground that held up the vault of heaven. Under the watchful gaze of plenty of musicians, the Grand Master was silent for a long time before he finally sighed quietly.

As the green ring on her thumb glowed, the wonderland and element of the Illusion Islands appeared from the depths of the realm of aether and headed towards the Land of Dreams. Not only that, but the core of the illusional realm that the Illusion Islands had been forging for centuries also appeared at the same time. The illusional realm, which had already cultivated a hint of the spirit and marrow of catastrophe, looked like a mirage that subverted illusion and reality. It had become a power that was no different from a material object.

At this moment, as the Grand Master made her adjustments, Voodoo Hollow, Swamp of Illusion, Realm of Thousand Torrents… Tens of family properties of the School of Magic appeared from the depths of the realm of aether. They obeyed the call of the New Testament and headed together towards the direction of the Land of Dreams.

In an instant, countless guards of the illusional realm formed a barrier around the Land of Dreams, as if they were guarding a moat. After accomplishing all these, even the Grand Master had to take a sit on the chair. The expression on her face was complicated and indecipherable.

She did not know if she had done the right thing. What she had done would allow them to obtain the unique illusion that only Ye Qingxuan possessed, which was the element of the Suffocating Ocean Abyss. But at the same time, this also allowed Ye Qingxuan to obtain their powers.

The difference about the core of illusional realm lied in the fact that it was the true skeleton of the School, and its existence was the reason why the illusionists of the Islands were able to override other illusions. This time, she was gambling all the family properties of the Illusion Islands on Ye Qingxuan. If Ye Qingxuan failed, the Illusion Islands would most likely collapse completely.

At this moment in time, there was constant chaos in the depths of the realm of aether. Within the upper-tier dimension that was usually dead and silent, it was like a gathering of scepters at this moment as elements appeared one after another and transformed into the projections of scepter musicians.

Some of them stood and watched from a distance while others were subtly trying to get close to the Sacred City. Some other Schools were leaning in the direction of the Land of Dreams after a moment of silence. It was time to fall in.

Compared to the larger schools that were comparable in scale to the Sacred City, these schools used to be prominent for a period of time but had now fallen and became unknown and amongst them, some were even persecuted and pursued by the Sacred City for carrying out forbidden research.

Based on the observation of the cardinal bishops, they noticed that the hardcore culprits on the list of those wanted by the Silence Governance were all heading in the direction of the Land of Dreams. Their numbers might not be significant but nevertheless, they still occupied at least a quarter…

This made the cardinal bishops upset. Unknowingly, a quarter of the people were opposing the Sacred City… No, the number of people that truly opposed the Sacred City must surely exceed the number that they were seeing right now, except that some of them lacked the courage to stand out or were waiting for a more opportune time or had already pledged their allegiance to Caucasian.

What remained were the Dark Musicians that had lost the abyss and were no longer capable of wielding any significant power. This homeless band of brothers could only huddle with each other for warmth in the World of Dark while they watched the battle unfold on the human world. They could not be more pleased. They would never have dared to get themselves involved in such a battle.

First, there was Gaius, who was a traitor and had solidified the foundations of the Church using his title as the false son of God. Then, there was Ye Qingxuan the conspirator, who had quickly built up Protestantism…

At this moment, it was clear to everyone that just by the massive numbers of scepters that had fallen in the realm of aether, the rule of the Sacred City was no longer as stable and sure as in the past. If one would describe the past as the cultivation of revolution, then this would be the moment where the waves of revolution were about to rise…

At this thought, all that one could feel was uncertainty and a sense of danger. No one could tell which of the numerous waves were the truly powerful ones. Before the new era could be ushered in, the true age of chaos had begun! Even Ye Qingxuan had no idea that so many people had been secretly supporting him all this while. At this moment, even he was taken aback by the massive power of the Land of Dreams.

Within a few minutes, everything had changed. The Land of Dreams gained a stable foothold in the realm of aether and countless heaven ladders intertwined to form the net of aether. They were being connected in all directions to form a resilient structure that no longer made it possible for the Sacred City to push Ye Qingxuan out with the gravitational force of music theory. At that moment, Ye Qingxuan opened his eyes.

“What we have to settle next is the problem in front of us…” He raised his head and looked up at the sky that was filled with thunderous clouds. He held up the New Testament Sword in his hand. “In that case, form the foundations of earth and create the vault of heaven!”

It was exactly the same as what the new scripture had described! In that instant, light appeared from underneath his feet and spread out in all directions. Torrents traveled thousands of miles in an instant along the homeland defense front and covered the entire lands and oceans of Anglo. Next, pillars of light shot up into the sky and held up the vault of heaven. That was… holiness! It was a domain that was more massive in scale than anything else in history!

In the horizon, the majestic melody played and the spiritual choral voices appeared out of nowhere. Amidst the blanket of light everywhere, aether began to flow like streams.

In an instant, Anglo no longer looked the same. The map of aether, that had been covered with blocks of black, red, yellow and white colors, suddenly began to tremble. It was as if the colors of aether density had begun to tremble with the sweeping across of light.

Next, aether began to flow. They flowed downwards from places of greater height, and they flowed from the earth to the sky. The red and yellow zones, that had been lingering above the oceans and lands, began to tremble and gradually extend outwards in all directions, yet their colors began to thin. In the end, even the black zone seemed to have melted away like a block of ice and all that remained was the white zone.

Due to the expansive nature interference of Haydn in the net of aether, the New Testament Sword instantly mobilized the flow of aether and density of balance of the entire Anglo, such that the black zone was eliminated and the red zone was diluted and the yellow zone was completely gone. Wherever it passed, only pure white remained. All the aether currents shot up into the sky and gathered in the domain of holiness that had not stopped shaking from the cracks of thunder.

The gravitational force of the music theory of New Testament was distorting the rule of physics and covering the reality, such that the net of aether was able to mobilize aether easily and complete this historically massive movement. At this moment, the domain of holiness covered the entire vault of heaven above Anglo. Countless musicians gasped in awe.

“The King of Yellow?!” It was as if Mozart, the King of Yellow, had finally reappeared and subdued aether with Requiem to eliminate all pain and suffering, and restoring peace and serenity back to the human world. With the support of the Land of Dreams, the entire vault of heaven of Anglo had turned into a metal wall that was keeping the thunder at bay.

Even though thunder could penetrate the holiness, it would still be dismantled by the power of the New Testament Sword. It would be as if it had been tossed into a grinding disc until, eventually, the grinding of the music theory of the net of aether would wear away the music theory and aether and turn it into pure electricity. Even though it still possessed the ability to cause damage, it would be a far cry from how it used to be, when it was capable of destroying an entire city with a single strike. This move was tantamount to replacing Anglo with his own body to bear the attacks of Gungnir.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Qingxuan could feel the heat transmitting from the hilt of the sword. The thunder was causing the New Testament Sword to heat up.

If he had been hemmed in a corner just like that, it would only be a matter of time before he was completely depleted by the Tree of World, which was being powered by the entire Asgard. Even though the New Testament Sword was an elemental artifact that was created from the Originator, it was still difficult for it to repel attacks of such scale and frequency.

At every single second, the domain of holiness was receiving an impact that could more than destroy several cities with a single strike. Even if the layers were interchanging constantly through the net of aether, the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth and homeland defense front to share the impact, it was not a long-term plan.

Fortunately, Ye Qingxuan was there to support for the time being, which would then free up Mary. At that moment, Mary, who was seated on the throne, opened up her eyes and held the hilt of Catinat with both hands. Both her eyes had turned golden in color and they looked towards Asgard and in the direction of the Tree of World.

Thousands of miles away, the old musician could clearly sense the spine-chilling killing aura. It was a chill and brutality that emanated from the dark nature of Leviathan under the control of Catinact. The thirst of the evil dragon held in shackles could hardly be suppressed anymore.

Shortly after, the seven seas were in turmoil. Countless undercurrents rose from the depths of the sea and, under the mobilization of Catinact, drove the revolving of the massive ocean and the crashing of the waves. Avalon was trembling!

With the maneuvers of Mary, the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth shrunk by more than three times until it became so dim that only a projection was all that was left. In exchange, the powers of the catastrophe, Leviathan, had been awakened completely! Leviathan had been revived and endless Firebird shot out of Avalon to transform into the massive illusion of the Dragon of Gold.

On the turbulent seven seas, countless masses of white fog rose and were being pushed towards land by the ocean currents and sea breeze. They were so thick that they were suffocating. If one was to look down from above, one would see white-colored carpets advancing from the sea and were gradually covering the entire land. It might seem slow when being observed from a distance away, but everything was actually happening very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the thick fog was accompanied by hurricanes that rapidly covered thousands of miles. Within half an hour, they had already reached the lands of Asgard. At the same time, endless water vapor rose from the ocean and began to form heavy cumulonimbus clouds within the vault of heaven. As thunder struck, endless rain poured, as if they were chasing behind the fog and were about to cover the entire world. Ocean, fog, clouds, storms…

With the full force of Leviathan, its power had formed a terrifying cycle and a catastrophe was now descending onto the human world. After hibernating for centuries, Leviathan, which was one of the four living creatures, began to display a power that was completely different from Hecatoncheir but equally terrifying. Compared to the hasty retaliation previously, Mary, with the help of the Sword of Catinact, was now able to bypass the homeland defense front and gain control of the power of Leviathan.

Right now, Asgard was about to face the four living creatures which were fully in their prime and were fully supported by Anglo. In particular, they were about to face the catastrophe that was most powerful of all, Leviathan! With the powers of Catinact and the New Testament, not only had they allowed Anglo to fully utilize all their combat capabilities, but their own abilities had also achieved a terrifying change in nature.

The only unfortunate thing was that Ye Qingxuan had planned to cast three instead of two swords. Catinact was the sword that kings would use to rule as it represented fairness and mercy, as well as allowing man’s will to control catastrophe. New Testament was the sword that Gods would use to rule as it represented Protestantism. Other than these two swords, there was another sword that would be used to rule matters of the world. It was cast from the net of aether and other rare and valuable materials. One to control catastrophe, one to carry out the will of God, and one to confer titles of nobility on musicians. All three of them would form the perfect cycle.

After the plan had been achieved and there were still available resources, the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth would be used to cast a “sword of political power” to replace Stone sword and a “sword of generosity” to complement the Firebird movement of the Knights of Round Table.

If Ye Qingxuan was given enough time to complete casting these five swords, no one would be able to go against his will in the future. Unfortunately, a plan would always just be a plan. If he really wanted to achieve this objective, he would have to completely use up all the family properties of every country and if he had been able to do so, Anglo would have been able to push everything aside with ease. At this stage, even if there were only two swords, Anglo was still in the position to take a leap of faith!

“It is time to retaliate!” Ye Qingxuan’s voice could be heard in the Privy Council. “Issue the order to Blanc Stronghold that everyone is to get ready. Unleash the Firebird armor equipment. When the white fog rises, that’s the time Anglo fights back!”

With Ye Qingxuan’s command, the siren of battle rang everywhere in Avalon. A tremendous amount of information traveled far and wide through the net of aether as all Stein chambers, from number zero to number 19, were all used to decrypt sequences. Birmingham, Luton… amidst the heavy industrial areas of Anglo, the military warehouses, that were originally being guarded by heavily-equipped armies, were finally being opened. Heavy iron chariots drove out one after another as they crossed the floating bridge and boarded the warships that would be heading towards the frontline.

Within the connection of the net of aether across the entire Anglo were organizations that had been training musicians in secret. The mass production musicians were selected out of the army because they possessed the talent to become musicians. They were put through a month of training and now, they were fully armed and were heading in the direction where the siren was coming from.

Within less than three days of modifications, the fleet that carried the royal musicians had departed once again. At the same time, instruments of harmonious melody were being pushed out of churches to be erected towards the sky. They would form the network for catastrophe and transmit endless power to it.

Ye Qingxuan listened to the breathing sound of the giant war beast through the New Testament Sword. He stared in the direction of the enemy’s location and muttered under his breath, “In that case, may this battle guarantee us our future!”
