Defying the Fate of Beheading-Chapter 584 - 316: The Prophet’s Prophecy, Omen of the Great Whirlpool _2

The matter with the Giant Demon Tribe taught him one thing: your enemy can also be created deliberately by others, and they can lurk for thousands of years to create this enemy.

"Grace, if the church has any intelligence, you can come to the Imperial Palace to find us. Don't carry any burden alone if you face difficulties; the enemies you will face might not be something you can solve by yourself."

Louis squinted his eyes, observing the divine power shimmering around Grace. He could sense the divine favor on Grace had become more intense.

It was uncertain how much effort she had put into her saintly training during these days to receive such divine attention.

Upon hearing Louis's words, Grace instinctively nodded, without considering if it was suitable for her to leak church-related issues.

However, she seemed to remember something and tilted her head, saying to Louis: "There is indeed something strange."

"What is it?"

"There is a significant number of True God Churches coming to the Lokeshi Empire this time, supposedly invited by the Bieder family."

"The Celestial Flame Bird of the Guardian Stones' five families?"

The Jean family, possessing the Purgatory Dragon bloodline, controls the Black Guardian Stone Dragon Pearl.

The Tiger family, with Red-eyed Winged Tiger bloodline, holds the Red Guardian Stone Lava Crystal Ball.

The Laine family has the Lineage of Roaring Moon Lion and holds the Silver Guardian Stone Silver Moon Ball.

The Griffin family, possessing the Extreme Cold Giant Elephant bloodline, controls the Blue Guardian Stone Eternal Freeze Crystal Core.

And Bider is there, possessing Celestial Flame Bird bloodline and holds the White Guardian Stone Sacred King Pearl.

The developmental directions of the Guardian Stone's five families' bloodlines are vastly different.

The Jean family Louis had dealings with holds the dual destructive power of physical and spiritual forces.

The Tiger family's pure flame damage is rumored to have once scorched the Fire Element Monarch.

The Laine family specializes in enhancements, akin to the White Crow stream powerhouses in the Nine Swords, innately skilled at providing buffs to teammates, born commanders.

The Griffin family is known as the mountain siege vehicle, rugged and cunning, often appearing at the front line, charging fearlessly, powerfully sending bricks flying.

But the Celestial Flame Bird is relatively rare.

The Bider family's members automatically acquire the ability to fly after reaching LV3, considered the earliest among many professions to acquire flight.

But compared to the Celestial Flame Bird lineage, the strangest aspect is the Sacred King Pearl they possess.

As the name implies, it is a Guardian Stone with divine power.

It's said the materials for the Sacred King Pearl come from a Bider family ancestor who was a devotee of the True Gods. As a divine favor grantee with a strong bloodline, he received divine patronage and possessed extraordinary powers.

Perhaps past experiences influenced the Guardian Stones, the Celestial Flame Bird faction is one of the few families interacting with various True God Churches.

"Bider family's invitation? Grace, what reason did they provide for inviting the church?"

Grace promptly replied, "Because the previous Celestial Flame Bird master recently prophesied some kind of crisis related to the Lokeshi and various churches."

"Ah?" Louis was momentarily stunned.

Hadn't the previous Celestial Flame Bird master already abdicated long ago? How is it still connected to prophecy?

Seeing Louis's lack of understanding, Little Swan spoke:

"It's normal for you not to know. The previous Celestial Flame Bird master has been retired for almost 100 years.

She possessed some witch bloodline, naturally a medium. By using the Sacred King Pearl, she prophesied numerous great calamities and was quite famous among the older generations."

Louis nodded.

While he was familiar with the current leading figures of major forces, the retired ones were not part of his knowledge.

Yet over a century ago, this time point acutely struck his nerves.

This time point is too specific, coming too close to the rise and peak of the empire.

Shortly before was the extermination of the Hero Squad, and shortly after was the birth of the Love God's dark side.

Grace slightly perked up and quietly said to Louis:

"Several months ago, that elder said Demon King Helmer in the Underground City has become unprecedentedly active. In years to come, he will likely start operating on the continent."

Upon hearing this, Louis and Little Swan became animated.

"Is this true?"

"Reliable, so in recent months, our church leadership is contacting other True God Churches to discuss how to respond to this matter."

Louis drew a sharp breath.

From the timeline perspective, at that time the troublesome business with the Giant Demon Tribe hadn't been exposed yet, and Louis hadn't used it as an excuse to urge various nations to heighten their vigilance against the Demon King Army's impact.

Meaning, back then, the knowledge that the Underground City likely met its limits and Demon King Helmer was soon to lead the Demon King Army into the world was known by few across the continent.

Even Louis confirmed this through the Greedy Diary.

Could it be that this ex-Celestial Flame Bird patriarch directly prophesied these potential future changes?

Bad timing, not some phony charlatan.

Genuine prophet!

He felt a bit of a headache; previously, whether it was Tunisia or the Giant Demon Tribe, overall things were twisty and turbulent but not enough to be deemed a major upheaval.

The last time he experienced a multi-force chaotic whirlpool was when Ense turned the tides, sensing that the Lokeshi Empire, too, was about to be drawn into the deep vortex.

"Did that elder not inform you in advance about the new prophecy's content?"

He pinched the bridge of his nose, finding it challenging. At this critical point, claiming Ense and his group won't be entangled is improbable.

But simply abandoning communication isn't a wise method either, since the delay in information transmission directly affects Ense's swift response to difficulties.
