Chapter 1090: Mythical Rank·Unique Lord Talent—Life Ark!

Chapter 1090: Mythic-Level · Unique Lord's Talent – Life Ark!

The total number of soldiers under His command had now reached four quadrillion.

For the sanctuary of the Life Goddess, even as it could scale up with territory advancement, the clerics within were utterly overwhelmed by the sheer volume of soldiers.

Especially the clerics who mastered large-scale resurrection techniques—these were critically scarce.

He had to elevate this Lord's Talent to the Mythic-Level · Unique tier.

Otherwise, his soldiers would shatter the record of zero casualties.

Though it sounded absurd, as a man with a slight obsession for order, Zhou Zhou simply wouldn't allow himself to break that record.

Soon enough.

The sanctuary of the Life Goddess ascended to the legendary level.

Zhou Zhou glanced briefly at the effects of reaching the legendary tier.

First, Carol Moira was promoted from Archbishop to Cardinal.

Within the Church of the Goddess of Life, only the Supreme Pope, who governs the various branches of the Church, had the authority to appoint Cardinals, and the Cardinal's status ranked just below that of the Goddess of Life and the Pope themselves.

Even the Life Angels, dedicated solely to serving the Goddess of Life, had to show proper respect before a Cardinal, with no room for insult or disrespect.

The benefits of this elevation greatly enhanced Carol Moira's power.

Now, her mastery had soared—from the lower echelon of the True Gods to the upper echelon, only a single step away from the realm of the Supreme Gods.

At this level, Carol Moira could summon the Crown of the Goddess of Life via the Great Resurrection Ritual, thereby resurrecting any True God below the Supreme God tier.

Of course,

although Carol Moira possessed sufficient capabilities, Zhou Zhou still preferred to enlist Thanatos, the God of Death, to resurrect fallen True Gods.

After all, Thanatos offered greater value for money.

Beyond Carol Moira's enhanced abilities and strength,

The total number of clerics within the Sanctuary of the Goddess of Life has seen a dramatic increase, the number of free basic and advanced protective services available to the land's inhabitants has been moderately enhanced, and the prices for purchasing such protection have all been significantly reduced.

A comprehensive upgrade, indeed.

Zhou Zhou was satisfied with this improvement.

Yet, he felt it still fell short.

Without hesitation, he fused ten billion fragments of Bronze-Rank Lord's Talent Crystal into a single Mythic-Rank · Unique Lord's Talent Primordial Crystal, then silently invoked its activation.

The very next instant,

the Mythic-Rank · Unique Lord's Talent Primordial Crystal erupted in brilliant, radiant hues of seven colors.

A text prompt appeared.

[Since you currently possess three Legendary Lord's Talents—'The Thief's Steal-Method Gauntlet,' 'The Sanctuary of the Goddess of Life,' and 'Superior Construction Engineering IX'—please select one to advance:]

Zhou Zhou did not hesitate. He chose to upgrade the Sanctuary of the Goddess of Life.

[Lord Talent selected!]

[Ascension in progress...]

The next second.

He felt that intensely potent sensation of warmth blooming once more between his brows.

This sensation was far more powerful than when his Lord Talent had upgraded from Epic to Legendary; it even felt borderline scorching to Zhou Zhou.

Given that Zhou Zhou's current physical body was already comparable to a top-tier True Divine Artifact, for such a sensation to manifest within Him could only be described as utterly absurd.

After a long while.

This scorching sensation finally began to fade.

A new textual prompt appeared.

[Lord Talent ascended successfully!]

[Congratulations! Your legendary Lord's talent, "The Sanctuary of the Goddess of Life," has ascended to the mythical tier as the sole Lord's talent, "The Ark of Life!"]

[The effects of your newly ascended mythical-tier sole Lord's talent are as follows:]

[The Ark of Life: Your domain now possesses a universal racial artifact—the Ark of Life.

When the Goddess of Life, Crete, first came into being, she foresaw that in the distant future, all realms of existence would be annihilated by a catastrophic, ultimate disaster.

To save the life of all worlds, the Goddess poured every ounce of her essence into constructing a half-ark. Then, the Supreme Fate God intervened directly, completing the full Ark of Life.

They entrusted this vessel with the hope that, when the end comes, it will carry the last surviving beings of the highest cosmos to a place of renewal and hope.]

[Specific Lord's Talent Effects 1—Unyielding Hope: Lords possessing the Ark of Life, and all mortal beings under their domain (excluding deities), gain one free resurrection per day after death.]

[Specific Lord's Talent Effects 2—Unbreakable Will: Lords possessing the Ark of Life, and all mortal beings under their domain, gain one chance per day to resist will-based attacks.]

[Specific Lord's Talent Effects 3—Robust Body: Lords possessing the Ark of Life, and all mortal beings under their domain, experience a significant elevation in their life essence. Not only are they physically healthy and strong, but their recovery abilities—both physical and mental—are greatly enhanced, their reaction speed is dramatically improved, their reproductive capacity is amplified, and their lifespan is substantially extended.]

[Specific Lord's Talent Effects 4—Eternal Journey: The Ark of Life is fueled by an inexhaustible fate energy and equipped with defenses of divine caliber. It can withstand all calamities from the highest deities and all disasters below the divine level during the final apocalypse.]

[Specific Lord's Talent Effect 5 - The Inheritance of the Goddess of Life: The Goddess of Life has entrusted her entire legacy into the Ark of Life, including The Book of Deities (exclusive to the Goddess of Life), Faith Crystal Conversion Altar, Divine Art Technique Tower, Gene Modification Controller, Gene Spiral Sword, and other inheritances.

Beings possessing the Ark of Life may comprehend the divine legacy left behind by the Goddess of Life, thereby establishing their own church, crafting exclusive ecclesiastical equipment for clerics, training clerics for specific roles, and passing down divine arts. However, all such endeavors require a certain amount of Mist Heart, Divine Crystals, Faith Crystals, and other valuable universal currencies.]

Zhou Zhou gazed upon the newly manifested Mythic-Level Exclusive Lord's Talent, his eyes settling on the first effect, and his breath quickened involuntarily.

"Unyielding Hope... granting me and the life of my entire territory one free resurrection every single day?!"

"My God!"

"How much Faith Crystal I'll save!"

"Will my soldiers fight with even greater ferocity and unyielding courage from now on?"

Zhou Zhou murmured to himself, his eyes blazing with excitement.

Although this effect does not include the Deity itself, it is still utterly transcendent.

The subsequent effects—unshakable will, robust physique, and eternal journey—are equally formidable.

What most intrigued and piqued Zhou Zhou's curiosity was undoubtedly the inheritance of the Fifth Divine Gift—the Legacy of the Goddess of Life.

This was no ordinary inheritance—it came from one of the Ten Primordial Gods, a divine lineage of the highest order!

And it was an inheritance offered without reservation!

Such a lineage, even across the infinite realms of existence, was considered among the most precious of all.

Among every divine inheritance Zhou Zhou had ever acquired, this one stood without a doubt at the very pinnacle—number one.

"Great gain!"

Zhou Zhou's heart swelled with joy. Yet, he couldn't help but glance again and again at the details of this divine gift, until his eyes finally settled upon the first line of the description.

The words there stirred something in him—his radiant joy dimmed, and a subtle furrow appeared between his brows.

"The Goddess of Life," the text read, "was not merely a guardian of life, but a force that, in the face of the so-called Ultimate Catastrophe, united with the Supreme God of Fate to construct this vessel of life—the Ark of Life—to preserve the survival of living beings."

"An ultimate catastrophe?"

"What kind of catastrophe is that?"

"Could it be the great chaos war among the myriad races, sparked at the twilight of the war between the great lords, when each race fought fiercely for supremacy over the supreme lord?"

Zhou Zhou pondered this in his heart.
