Chapter 1091: The Ark of Life! The Inheritance Left by the Goddess of Life!

Zhou Zhou didn't hesitate—directly asking Bodhi, the Supreme, what this disaster was.

But Bodhi, faced with the question, refused without hesitation to answer him.

He explained that the matter at hand was directly tied to the future activities of the Great War among the myriad clans.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhou pondered thoughtfully.

Indeed, was this connected to the Great War among the myriad clan chieftains?

He thought for a moment, then decided to let it go.

What belonged to him would eventually come to him.

What did not belong to him—no matter how early he learned it—would only bring him needless anxiety.

Then, with a simple flick of his right hand and a thought, a model of an ark appeared in his hand—its main body white, accented with a red border.

It was the universal race artifact bestowed upon him by the mythic, singular Dominant Lord's innate talent—the Ark of Life!

This creation of the Dominant Lord's talent had not appeared in the outer realms—but rather, had manifested directly within the very inner world of his being.

Zhou Zhou gazed upon the Ark of Life.

He could feel, though it appeared small, that the model was immeasurably heavy.

Had he not been a body of Chaotic Human origin, and possessed the invincible strength of a Titan God lineage, he would have been unable to hold it in one hand.

Even so,

he still felt a faint, creeping sense of instability—

as though at any moment, it would effortlessly slip back into his original world, beyond his control.

Zhou Zhou spat out a quiet breath of astonishment.

After all, once the Ark of Life had become his Dominant Lord's artifact, it had automatically recognized him as its master, binding itself irrevocably to his soul and will.

It had already become his own destined artifact.

Logically speaking,

He should have found summoning and utilizing such a destined artifact to be effortless.

Yet reality stood in stark contradiction.

He sensed that, with his current power, even if he pushed himself to near-master god levels, he could only barely tap into its most fundamental functions—

namely, the resurrection, soul-will defense, and life essence enhancement granted by unyielding hope, indomitable will, and robust physicality.

Even this was merely the passive ability inherent to this universal race artifact.

To activate the active function—'The Eternal Journey'—and pilot this life-ship across realms, he would likely need to first rely on external means to forcibly elevate his power to the level of pseudo-master god before he could even begin.

"Indeed, a race artifact forged in collaboration by the Goddess of Life and the Supreme God of Fate."

"By my own perception—"

"The fundamental capabilities currently available are already on par with some powerful functional master artifacts."

Zhou Zhou nodded slightly in his heart.

Then he closed his eyes, allowing his will to enter and begin delving deeply into the specific details of this vessel of life.

After a long time had passed,

he slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes gleamed with startling intensity, and he murmured softly:

"Such an abundance of enhancements—"

"Not in vain, having spent 1.1 billion bronze-tier lord talent crystal fragments to elevate it to the Mythic Tier—Unique Lord Talent level."

Now, compared to the former sanctuary of the Life Goddess, this vessel of life has undergone the following improvements:

The first enhancement is:

Carlo Moira, promoted directly from a newly elevated cardinal, ascended to the position of Pope within the Church of the Goddess of Life.

Yet this Pope is not the official pontiff, but rather a specially designated "Second Pope" created by the Goddess of Life herself.

Pope Carlo Moira holds parity in status with the current pontiff who governs all the Goddess of Life Churches across the myriad realms.

Their positions are equal in rank, though their spheres of authority differ slightly.

Carlo Moira oversees all Churches of the Goddess of Life on the Supreme Continent.

The elder Pope, in contrast, governs all Goddess of Life Churches throughout the entire multiverse.

At first glance, the latter appears to wield greater power and jurisdiction.

Yet since the Supreme Continent is the core and origin of the multiverse, the difference between them is actually negligible.

The second enhancement lies in this:

Beyond its passive, free ability to automatically resurrect the dead, the Life Ark can, through a religious structure known as the "Resurrection Altar," utilize faith crystals, mist hearts, and divine crystals as fuel.

When a deceased being is placed upon the Resurrection Altar, the altar automatically assesses the remains and belongings of the deceased and determines—without human intervention—whether to employ a grand resurrection ritual or a minor one to restore the soul to life.

In this process, no assistance from clergy is required—resurrection can be achieved directly through the resurrection altars.

Moreover, the resurrection altars within the Life Ark are numerous, and their efficiency in resurrection is exceptionally high.

Who could say that Zhou Zhou lost thousands of billions, or even trillions, of soldiers in a single day?

Even if the casualties reached tens of trillions, hundreds of trillions, or even thousands of trillions—resurrection can be swiftly accomplished through these altars, allowing the soldiers to return to battle by the next day.

In short,

from now on, resurrection procedures will be fully automated through the Life Ark, operating like a streamlined assembly line—no human intervention required.

Yet this applies only to the resurrection of non-divine beings.

To resurrect deities, the process of the Great Resurrection Rite is far more intricate and thus demands the personal involvement of high-ranking clergy from the Life Church at the divine level.

All that Zhou Zhou needs to do is send personnel regularly to deposit his faith crystals into the resurrection altars, serving as the "battery" that powers them.

Refill when depleted.

That's that simple.

"From this point forward, resurrection for my domain has become fully automated."

"Never again will we worry about having insufficient clerics capable of mastering the Great Resurrection."

Zhou Zhou felt satisfied within.

Of course.

This does not mean that the clerics of the Life Goddess have vanished.

Though their use of the Great Resurrection has diminished, they remain the backbone of the Sun Kingdom's medical care, especially in treating wounded soldiers.

Beyond the Resurrection Altar.

Zhou Zhou also delved deeply into the primary divine inheritance left by the Life Goddess to the Life Ark.

Yet, he found little interest in this divine legacy.

He intended first to have Wenya replicate a copy, and then entrust this sacred lineage of the Goddess of Life to Caro Moira, so that she might fully inherit it.

As one of His own people, once Caro Moira possessed this lineage, it was as though Zhou Zhou himself had come to hold it.

As for the main divine inheritances accompanying the lineage—such as the Faith Crystal Transmutation Altar, the Divine Art Tower, the Gene Modification Controller, and the Gene Spiral Sword—Zhou Zhou had briefly surveyed them all.

Without exception, each was extraordinarily precious and immensely useful.

After all, anything entrusted by the Goddess of Life would naturally be of immense value, for she had placed these items here with the hope that they would aid humanity in surviving the most advanced catastrophes of the future. One could not possibly place something useless within such a sacred repository.

Take the Divine Art Tower, for instance:

This Divine Art Tower stands within the internal world-space of the Life Ark.

It comprises 168 floors!

From the first to the 140th floor, it contains every divine art known to the Goddess of Life—ranging from Black Iron-tier to Supreme God-tier—each one representing a fundamental law of life that she herself has mastered.

From the 141st to the 168th floor, it records other divine arts known to various deities under the Goddess of Life’s domain. The content is vast beyond measure, revealing the extraordinary breadth of her wisdom and understanding.
