Extraordinary Pedigree.

Chapter 1054 Military Order

After listening to Livia's detailed and almost mystical explanation, Xia Xiu remained silent for a moment.

The Dream God Group's overall plan had taken clear shape in his mind, from the consciousness projection system on the moon of Noema to the mental archetype attack evoked by the Spear of Dionysus, and finally to the main control link that led the entire world into a dream and used the dream to disprove the cosmic star.

All of this is not only complete, but also highly feasible.

He shifted his gaze to the side, where the boy who had been standing quietly listening was looking at him with clear and firm eyes.

Xia Xiu looked at him, his tone calm, yet containing a natural sense of command between father and son:
"Luppercar, what do you think?"

The boy, known as the "Son of the First Return," remained unmoved, simply stepping forward to meet Xia Xiu's gaze, and solemnly replied:
“Father, we are now trapped within Abelio’s crystal wall system. The only way to truly break free from this blockade, return to heaven, and even step into a higher dimension is to defeat the Fifth Church and the cosmic star behind it.”

"Strategically speaking, forming an alliance with the Dream God Group is an inevitable step for us to reach the outside world."

Xia Xiu nodded; he thought so too. In any case, they had stayed in Abelio for far too long, which had seriously delayed the progress of the Ivy War.

He must return to the main storyline as soon as possible, continue the war, and conquer the seventeen outer planes.

His gaze returned to Livia, his eyes no longer probing, but clearly indicating his intention to cooperate:
"I agree to your cooperation."

Upon hearing this, Livia slightly bent her knees, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and performed the most revered ritual of the Dream God Clan, her tone solemn as if swearing an oath to the starry sky:

"Thank you for Your Majesty Abraham's promise."

"Your will will be the sacred fire of dreams, illuminating our path in the darkness. May our cooperation be successful, and may our beacon shine forever."

Xia Xiu, however, slightly turned his head, gazing at the distant world still shrouded in the crystal wall, mired in power struggles and the echoes of the old era. His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable force:
"Next, we must accelerate the unification of the entire Abelio—for the arrival of the moon Noema, and for the Dionysian spear that will pierce myth and cleave nightmares to fall accurately."

This time, Livia did not respond with conventional language. She leaned forward slightly and spoke slowly, as if conveying divine revelation. Her voice contained the rhythm of ancient consciousness, as if the three dream cores were simultaneously reciting this verse within her:
"When the horizon converges into one, all things are reconstructed beneath a single ring,"

"The moon, baptized by dreams, will descend upon this world, like the heart of a new god, hanging atop Abelio."

"And the spear of Dionysus will pierce through the illusory stars and penetrate the heart of the Old Gods,"

"To strike Him down in a dream, to prove His nothingness in slumber, that will be the dawn of the end."

Just after that poetic and solemn dream announcement ended, Livia stood still, her hands hanging down, and her aura began to slowly recede, as if she was preparing to leave.

She slowly raised her head and looked at Xia Xiu again.

In his eyes, the light of the three dream cores had dimmed considerably, yet remained profoundly deep, as if their lingering resonance still echoed in the depths of his mind.

Her voice trembled slightly, yet remained perfectly clear:

"On the day of Abelio's unification, I will once again descend upon this world with the will of the three Dream Cores."

"This body will serve as a medium and beacon between the Dream God Group and the Great Lord."

"Hereby, the Dream God Clan and I personally express our highest respect once again to His Majesty Abraham."

After she finished speaking, she bowed deeply to Xia Xiu, her movements incredibly steady, as if she were pressing the weight of her entire consciousness into this ancient ritual.

The next moment, her body suddenly trembled, and a convulsion like an electric current caused her back to arch, her fingertips to tremble slightly, the whites of her eyes to roll back, and a wisp of turbid breath escaped from the corner of her mouth. It was as if her mental lifeline had been severed, and she fell heavily to the ground.

"boom--"

The sound of the body falling to the ground was exceptionally clear in this silent space. Without any hesitation, the First Son stepped forward, half-squatted down, and pressed two fingers together on Livia's temple. In his left eye, the unusual pupil known as the "Eye of Horus" quietly opened.

The radiance of the [spider-like monster] swirled in his pupils, constructing a series of consciousness streams and scanning matrices. In the blink of an eye, he had completed the holographic mental assessment.

He stood up and looked up at Xia Xiu:
“Father…her brain activity has completely ceased. Clinically speaking, she is now in a vegetative state.”

Upon hearing this, Xia Xiu's expression remained largely unchanged; he simply nodded slightly, as if he had already anticipated this scene.

"It seems the Dream Gods are never stingy with the vessels when delivering divine pronouncements. Send her body to the lower storage area of ​​the Golden Tree. I will dispatch members of the Shepherds' Council to take over and guard this medium."

The son who had returned first bowed his head and responded, his tone concise:
"clear."

After saying that, he looked down at Livia lying on the ground again. Her body seemed to still retain the warmth left by the dream core projection, but now it was just an empty shell.

……

……

The Golden Palace, a side hall deep within, is currently being used as the core command space for the entire battlefront.

The room's architectural design continues the symmetrical aesthetics and divine radiance of the Heavenly Kingdom system. The walls are inlaid with golden data pipes constructed from rune matrices, while in the very center, a floating plate projection composed of pure psionic particles is stably displaying the entire battle map of the Abelio world.

Four vast regional territories clearly came into view:
The Southern Territory, the Horizon Law-ruled area, has been completely taken over by Xia Xiu, and the legal system now covers all administrative nodes.

The Eastern Territory, also included in the Horizon sequence, is currently undergoing an order restructuring, with the patriarchal system and the chapter command chain operating in parallel.

The remaining two areas remain unstable, marked as red on the map, and even have several faint pulses of hostile consciousness floating around them.
In the western region, the Church of Saint Cuthbert's defenses—which have yet to respond to the Laws of the Horizon and have never made contact with the forces of Heaven—are shrouded in a barrier of faith interference, resembling a closed graveyard of faith.

In the North, the land of iron and hearth in Clangerdin—the inhabitants of Clangerdin Mountain are composed of dwarven spirits, dwarven priests, and planar wishers, all of whom have received combat training, forming a society where "everyone is a soldier."

Dwarven warriors forge weapons in the forge district during peacetime, and form phalanxes to defend against threats from the lower planes during wartime. This cycle of "battle-forging" not only maintains the mountain's defenses but also continuously strengthens Krangdin's divine power.

Xia Xiu sat quietly in the main seat, his golden hair reflecting sharp light and shadow from the flowing light from the roof. He crossed his hands in front of his lips, resting his chin on the back of his fingers, looking like a contemplative golden statue.

Beside him stood Lupercal, the son of the First Father, while on the other side stood Monfort, the current leader of the Shepherds.

“Father, now there are only two main resistance zones left in the entire plane: the Western Region and the Northern Region.”

"The Church of Saint Cuthbert in the Western Regions... has not responded in any way since you caused the divine revelation-level shock in Abelio." "After you descended the Ring of Law from the heavens, the entire world was shaken by the dream frequencies and the Golden Law you triggered, but Saint Cuthbert has never shown up."

“Saint Kusber, who was once the ruler of the plane, has not responded to any of your actions, Father. I suspect that he has encountered some kind of great crisis, which may be the collapse of the internal faith system or the blockade by an unknown force.”

He paused, then continued, "That is why I suggest that you, Lord of the Crown of Abraham, personally lead the expedition to the west."

"With your own strength, you are enough to suppress all remaining resistance. Only your existence can deter the old gods of the church that are on the verge of collapse but are still clinging to life."

"As for the North—the land of iron and furnaces of Crangerdine—I will handle it."

His gaze fell upon the mountain range on the map, outlined by fiery red veins of the earth's veins. His tone was slightly somber, carrying a battle intent that was about to be unleashed:

"That place is composed of dwarven heroes, fire-forged priests, and planar wishers; it is a powerful race where almost everyone is a soldier."

His gaze slowly turned to the plateau mountain range covered with dense veins on the projected map. The fiery red beams of earth veins, interwoven like blood vessels, converged into a majestic mountain shape in the psionic projection.

Lupercal's voice was low, carrying a mixture of pent-up killing intent and cautious calm:
"Mount Krangtin... is a complete conical mountain range with an elevation of over 9100 meters. Its summit is shrouded in thunderclouds all year round, and lightning in the sky interweaves in the clouds in a strange cycle, like a living celestial lightning pool."

"According to the descriptions we obtained from the Shepherds' intelligence network, the entire mountain range is not naturally formed, but rather an inlaid city gradually built by the dwarf race over thousands of years of forging and carving."

He paused and continued:

"The interior of the mountain consists of a large number of winding tunnels and arched halls. The caves of different levels are connected by natural light wells. During the day, sunlight shines into the mountain along the cut light trails, creating a parallax space where sunlight and shadow intertwine. At night, the lighting is maintained by geothermal crystals."

"These tunnels do not extend in a straight line, but rather wind and twist along the natural curvature of the mountain. Some even spin into closed-loop maze corridors, which is typical of dwarf engineering logic."

“Any outsider who does not possess an accurate map of the ley lines will lose their way inside and fall into their self-rotating defensive perimeter.”

At this point, he looked at Xia Xiu, his gaze becoming more serious:

"And the mountain's defense system is far more complex and terrifying than outsiders imagine."

"Based on the three main defense mechanisms currently identified, they are as follows:"

First, there are the traps and mechanisms distributed at most intersections of passageways and staircases—including pressure-sensitive spike spray arrays triggered by the ground and rotating bronze crossbows embedded in the walls. These crossbows can not only fire continuously but also have explosive armor-piercing effects; once triggered, the passageway can be easily cut off.

"Secondly, there is their patrol line, which is composed of the chosen dwarven heroes who were transformed into battle spirits after their deaths. They are known as the 'Heroic Spirit Guard'. These heroic spirits have intuition and spiritual vision far superior to ordinary people. They can see through stealth, concealment, and even mid-level illusionists. They are a constant fighting force built on the souls of the fallen, and they patrol almost day and night without rest."

"Thirdly, there is a magical barrier at the entrance, a polar barrier composed of alternating flames and frost. Those who do not possess the local blessing of Mount Krangtin will be torn apart by the elements the moment they cross the barrier."

Furthermore, the entire mountain of Krangtin is a vertical city-state, comprising four main functional areas, each with its own responsibilities, but all contributing to the military structure.

"The upper core is the forging area, with a geothermal lava river running through the main forging room. It is the area where dwarven blacksmiths are concentrated. It is said that they can directly forge weapons with fire-enhanced abilities. They have been forging weapons for many years, keeping this area in a semi-military, semi-sacred state."

"Next to the forge area is the market area. Although the number of foreign merchants has decreased, according to intelligence, there are still many itinerant merchants from other sub-planes and low-level elemental realms active here, trading rare resources such as mithril ore and ley crystals."

"The spiritual center of the mountain range is the Sanctuary, where the main temple houses the statue of Lord Clangertin, which is tens of feet tall and cast from a mixture of pure silver and star iron. Below the statue is a chanting altar, which is the core place where dwarven priests and fire-casting priests regularly conduct rituals."

"Further down is the Styx District, the deepest part of the mountain. This place is responsible for purifying the souls of the dead. It is said that if any evil spirits linger here, they will be transformed into fire spirits and enslaved, becoming part of the city's defense mechanism."

After listening to the report from the First Son of Return, Xia Xiu's gaze turned serious as he looked at the projection of the fiery mountain range in the Northern Territory, his voice deep and powerful:
"...So, you intend to deal with Clangertin yourself?"

"This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. You can indeed rely on the highly spiritual warriors in the wolf pack to launch probing infiltrations and attacks from the flanks, from the highlands, and from the surface front."

"But the core of Mount Clangerdin is not the city, but the mountain itself."

"It not only possesses a weaponry system deeply embedded in the earth's veins, but also a high-level protective mechanism maintained by temple blessings and fire-forged altars. The interior of the mountain is equivalent to a hybrid of a spiritual weaponry factory and a divine magic circuit field."

"The key is……"

He paused slightly, his tone becoming more serious:

"Their strongest fighting force must still be hidden in that mountain."

"How are you going to fight?"

The son of the first returnee, standing to the side, did not back down. He nodded slightly, a kind of fervor flashing in his eyes.

“I have already considered the situations you mentioned.”

"Therefore, I will not confront Klangertin head-on using conventional combat methods."

"I request—to be granted more Horizon genealogy resources, especially access to the Law Circle database and the right to call the constancy theology node."

He looked up at Xia Xiu, his speech quickening slightly:
"I want to launch a full-scale, overpowered psionic attack—"

“Relying on the constant law ring, I will detonate the Horus program covering the entire Clangertin Mountain, so that the mountain’s spiritual structure, consciousness anchors, and divine magic hierarchy will all be analyzed, extracted, and reversed at the same time.”

"This mental suppression will directly affect the dwarven legion of heroes and the priest's mental network, forcing them to collapse first in the dimension of consciousness."

"In order to withstand the subsequent impact after the program is launched, I also hope to use your genealogical resources, Father, to communicate with the Ocean of Ether."

As he spoke, a faint golden glow rose from his chest, a sign of spiritual resonance.

"I sense that my Dominator Key is about to emerge. I hope to break through in this war and truly enter the Dominator level."

He took a deep breath, his voice carrying a hint of solemnity:
"But even if I become the ruler, I alone am not enough to resist the deepest divine power blockade of the other side."

"Therefore, I also hope that you can grant me multiple spiritual legions as assistance; at the same time, I also hope that Father can grant me an artifact to fight against the highest power."

"If we can mobilize these three forces, I am confident that we can conquer Crangeton within thirty days, from the mountaintop to the River Styx, and bring the entire Fireforged Kingdom under the protection of the Law Ring."

"You can take this as a pledge I've made. If I fail to fulfill it, I will cut myself off from the horizon, from heaven, and from before you, Father!"
