Chapter 1112: Zhang An and Xiao Xuan! Invincible Divine Emperor!

Chapter 1112: Zhang An and Xiao Xuan! The Invincible God Emperor!

Zhou Zhan cherished this divine lineage deeply.

After all, it was the master lineage of Nai-lo, the master god of the Death Law System, renowned across the myriad realms and universes as second only to the god of death, Tanaatos.

Its value could scarcely be imagined.

In the future, he could bestow it upon one of his most promising subordinates, guiding that individual toward mastery of the Death Law System.

When the Lord of the Afterlife eventually inspected their Afterlife Crystal Mines, he might be able to calm the latter’s possible fury through this connection.

Of course.

Even if he couldn’t fully pacify the Lord of the Afterlife, he needn’t worry.

With the Supreme Accord and the God of War standing behind him, he truly had no fear of this Afterlife Lord.

He pondered for a moment, and swiftly in his mind, a suitable candidate for this supreme master lineage emerged.

Xiao Xuan's close friend, the Guardian of Death—Zhang An.

This young one had already been blessed by the Law of Death, possessing an exceptionally high innate affinity for its principles. Combined with various innate talents and divine artifacts, his potential had soared to the level of a Supreme God.

This inheritance of the Sovereign of the Yellow Springs perfectly suited Zhang An.

Zhou Zhan thought of this and immediately dispatched a soldier to summon Zhang An.

A short while later.

Zhang An and Xiao Xuan arrived before Zhou Zhan.

"Your Majesty, we bow."

They spoke respectfully.

Zhou Zhan looked upon their more mature and composed appearances and demeanor—completely different from when he first saw them—and felt an unspoken, paternal warmth at the sight of his own child growing into a man.

"This is for you."

Zhou Zhan smiled, tossing both the "Book of Divine Spirits" and the "Secret Codex of Heroic Heritage" from the Yellow Springs Sovereign directly into Zhang An's hands.

Zhang An stared at them in bewildered confusion, only for his body to surge with shock when he realized these were the very inheritances of the Yellow Springs Sovereign. "The lineage of the Sovereign of the Yellow Springs?" His form trembled with astonishment, excitement, and disbelief.

Zhang An's heart pounded with wonder and incredulity.

Zhou Zhan nodded calmly, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Use them wisely. Do not let this inheritance go to waste."

"Your... Majesty? Is this truly meant for me?"

Zhang An stared at Zhou Zhou, his mind reeling.

This was one of the most elite inheritances among the Sovereigns of the myriad realms across the cosmos.

To be bestowed upon him by the Sovereign was equivalent to being granted a celestial path leading straight to becoming a power of legendary standing within his clan.

If he diligently studied and mastered the contents of these two divine and heroic inheritances, there was a near-certainty that he would one day rise to become another Sovereign-level force.

In an age when no Supreme Deity had emerged to rule the heavens...

The Primordial God is unquestionably the supreme master of all strength!

Could the Emperor have so lightly bestowed it upon himself?

He felt as though he were dreaming.

"It wasn't given to you—then to whom could it have been given?"

Zhou Zhan snapped irritably.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I shall die for Your Majesty!"

Zhang An exclaimed with fervor.

He was no longer the boy he once was.

Having witnessed countless things, and now standing as a divine being of mid-tier godhood, he knew perfectly well how precious this Primordial God's inheritance truly was.

So his heart grew even more grateful for the favor shown by His Majesty.

Then Zhou Zhan didn't linger with Zhang An, and simply let him go.

But after Zhang An had departed, Xiao Xuan did not leave.

"Your Majesty."

"Only Zhang An?"

Xiao Xuan looked at Zhou Zhan with wide, hopeful eyes.

Zhou Zhan found it amusing in his heart, yet on the surface he feigned confusion:

"Didn't I already instruct Wen Ya to grant you full access to the entire library of 'Dominator's Martial Path'?"

"What?"

"Isn't a top-tier, Supreme God-level martial cultivation lineage like 'Dominator's Martial Path' enough?"

"Have you mastered it all?"

"This... not yet."

A flicker of unease passed over Xiao Xuan's face.

The content prior to the Divine Chapter of the "Dominant Sovereign Martial Path" was still within his grasp, barely.

But as he began to study the Divine Chapter itself, he couldn't even begin to comprehend it—let alone master it.

After all, he was now a lower-tier divine spirit of a mid-tier deity, capable of studying the Divine Chapter, yet still utterly lost in its depths.

For Xiao Xuan, famed throughout the blazing kingdom as a prodigy, this sense of failure was deeply disheartening.

And precisely because of this, he now yearned desperately for a divine lineage of master-tier rank.

Such a lineage would aid him in grasping the profound truths of the "Dominant Sovereign Martial Path."

Zhou Zhan instantly saw through his thoughts, and without further teasing, simply said:

"Do you wish for the Godbook of the Divine Sovereign and the Secret Codex of Heroic Heritage?"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Xiao Xuan bowed deeply, his heart lifting with joy.

If the Emperor has said this, he must be bestowing these two inheritances upon me, right?

"These two inheritances are for my own use, and I do not intend to give them to you."

Zhou Zhan shook his head.

Xiao Xuan's already raised corner of his mouth suddenly stiffened, but he still bowed respectfully:

"I understand."

He is such a good child.

If the Emperor keeps them for himself, then he must be grateful.

Your Majesty does not harbor resentment toward yourself, for you are, after all, the closest person to Him. He would never hold such against you.

Thus, though disappointed and saddened now, He has no intention of pursuing it further.

Is it not merely a book titled *The Dominant Sovereign's Way of Power*?

With His incomparable talent, He could simply spend more time mastering this inherited wisdom—eventually, He would learn it just as well.

"Additionally, this Prince has other expectations of you. Based upon those expectations, He does not intend to bestow the Dominant Sovereign's Master's inheritance upon you."

At that moment,

Zhou Zhan spoke again.

"What expectations does Your Majesty hold for me?"

Xiao Xuan asked curiously.

"The first and foremost expectation, naturally, is that you find joy in living your own life."

"The second hope is for your path as a divine being."

"Do you know of 'The Invincible God Emperor'?"

Zhou Zhan asked.

"The Invincible... God Emperor?"

Xiao Xuan looked puzzled.

"God Emperor is the supreme title bestowed upon the highest deity."

"It signifies that the individual has reached the ultimate end on the path of divinity."

"Beyond that lies even more profound, enigmatic entities of pure will."

"And the Invincible God Emperor is the mightiest among all supreme deities across the myriad realms of the cosmos."

"He is the strongest divine being beneath the realm of pure will."

Zhou Zhan revealed this earth-shattering secret.

Xiao Xuan gasped, eyes filled with shock and envy.

To be called "unbeatable"—how utterly majestic!

Zhou Zhan spoke on, without pause:

"The Unbeatable God, since entering the path of transcendence, has faced countless formidable adversaries along the way."

"Yet, He has never lost."

"Never once lost!"

"Through this unshakable dominance, His realm has ascended steadily, challenging enemies at every turn, until now, reaching the pinnacle of divinity—still undefeated."

"The title 'Unbeatable' was not bestowed upon Him by Himself, but rather earned by enemies He has defeated and by divine beings who have witnessed His triumphs."

"Beyond His lifelong record of never losing, there exists one obscure tale—little known to the world."

"That is why He has never received the inheritance of any other deities."

"Meaning, His path as a deity was forged entirely by Himself."

"Xiao Xuan, you are born with the divine and martial saintly body—perfectly suited for the path of the Invincible God Emperor."

"Moreover, as I've heard, you've never lost a battle, have you?"

Zhou Zhan asked.

Xiao Xuan nodded.

Indeed, among peers, he had never lost a battle.

Even in cases of cross-tier combat, he had never been defeated.

Most importantly, he never challenged enemies without certainty.

For instance, as a lower-tier mid-deity, he had once challenged upper-tier high deities—but had never dared to confront true deities.

Endowed with extraordinary talent yet possessing self-awareness, He only engaged in battles he was certain to win.

This style—reminiscent of his lord's own temperament—was, above all, the key reason behind His unbroken record of victories.

Yet something occurred to Him, and his expression flickered with hesitation.

"Are you worried about the Primordial God-tier inheritance you received earlier?"

Zhou Zhan instantly grasped His thoughts, smiling faintly as he asked.

Xiao Xuan nodded vigorously at once.

That was exactly what He was afraid of!
