Chapter 1118: Battle Resurrection Scroll! Heaven-Defying Crimson Lord's Talent!

As for the original self.

Being a fragment of the original, its thoughts mirrored those of the original, Zhou Zhao. Thus, there was no need to consult him.

Then, it carefully examined the rewards bestowed upon the destruction of the Argo Crimson Empire.

Though he had already reviewed them once, seeing them again left him momentarily stunned.

The rewards for destroying a high-tier Crimson Empire were truly magnificent.

Just ten vials of potential ascension elixirs (True God Tier), ten copies of the "Book of Deities" (True God Tier), ten volumes of the "Heroic Heritage Codex" (True God Level), and one thousand divine crystals (True God Tier) were enough to send countless empire-level and even god-level lord factions into frenzied excitement.

Regarding the "True God Invitation," Zhou Zhan glanced at it and realized that using it would randomly summon a lower-tier True God spirit, which could then serve as a True God veneration within his domain.

Zhou Zhan remained expressionless and immediately opened it.

The next second—

And there it was—this True God's Invitation Letter transforming into a streak of holy white light, departing from His hands, shooting out of the Galaxy Leader's Ship, and vanishing into the heavens beyond.

Zhou Zhan exhaled a soft, disapproving sound.

Ah. So this True God's Invitation Letter works by randomly summoning True Gods in this manner.

He didn't care. Instead, his gaze shifted to the race-exclusive architectural blueprint.

[Blueprint Name: The Cross of Suffering]

[Blueprint Rank: Race-Exclusive]

[Blueprint Function – Suffering: Construct a cross-shaped building and bind any living being to it. The bound being will endure endless torment and suffering for ten consecutive days. After those ten days, the being will die in unending agony—death that cannot be reversed.]

"Another one of these race-specific structures."

Zhou Zhan suddenly understood.

This Cross of Suffering had been known throughout the history of Blue Star as the Cross of God-Killing.

It is said that even a god perished upon the cross—a religious instrument of torture.

Of course.

This is a fabrication of the Blue Star mythology; there are no true gods on Blue Star.

Yet the torture device is indeed renowned throughout the planet.

Unthinkable—now it has become a race-exclusive structure.

Zhou Zhan gazed in astonishment.

In terms of effect, this Suffering Cross truly stands as one of the most infamous instruments of punishment in Blue Star’s history.

And the final creation—the [Irreversible Death]—captured Zhou Zhan’s keen interest.

“Go back and have Zhao Changshou, along with the Yellow River Dock, construct it.”

Zhou Zhan neatly stored it away, then turned his gaze to the final campaign resurrection scroll.

[Item Name: Campaign Resurrection Scroll]

[Item Rank: Special]

[Item Function: After usage, all souls that perished in a campaign will be resurrected.]

"Indeed, it is this scroll."

A smile bloomed upon Zhou Zhan's face.

For a relic with such astonishing power, he naturally carried deep memories.

In his early days as a novice lord, he had obtained five Campaign Resurrection Scrolls.

Three of them were used during the novice lord trials, enabling him to endure the arduous challenges and ascend to the title of the strongest novice lord—securing the crucial reward that elevated his 100% burst leader talent to the mythic-tier, unique lord talent—King of Loot.

The remaining two were preserved, never used, until now.

Unforeseen, he had gained another one today.

"Such a precious treasure!"

Zhou Zhan cherished it deeply, sealing it into his own Box of Kings, placing it beside two other scrolls of battle resurrection.

This was a life-saving relic—unless faced with utter desperation, He would never waste such a treasure, even if it meant burning through his own faith crystals.

...

Half an hour later.

The capital of Arya.

Within the imperial palace.

Upon the throne of the Emperor.

Zhou Zhan gazed down upon the crimson general, a true god-level being, kneeling before him.

His name was 'Jiluoto.' He was the guardian specially dispatched by the High God of Arya to protect the life of Arya·Qigenes.

Alas, He failed in fulfilling His duty, witnessing the other's downfall right before His eyes. Now, to survive, He has chosen to surrender directly to the Sunlit Kingdom.

Though this carries a certain element of risk.

Yet, as it stands, Girotto believes he has made the right gamble.

It seems this Celestial Emperor truly embodies the compassion described in legend.

As long as one surrenders with genuine sincerity, He will never reneg on his word and harm the lives of those who have laid down their weapons.

At this moment, He is reporting to His new sovereign the details He has gathered about this great calamity involving the myriad realms.

After listening,

Zhou Zhan pondered quietly.

Then said:

"So it is that the vast majority of the hundred advanced Red Empires under the direct command of the Chaotic Crimson Empire—such as the Arya Crimson Empire—are actually sent by the hidden Crimson Sovereign State to participate?"

"Yes, your majesty."

Gilotto spoke with respectful deference. "The Crimson Godrealm cannot participate in this Great Cataclysm of the Ten Tribes, yet they desire the rewards prepared by the Crimson Sovereign for this event—thus, they have devised such a scheme."

"Moreover, this arrangement benefits their lord in the future competition for the title of 'Crimson Sovereign' within the Crimson Faction."

Zhou Zhan nodded slightly.

'Crimson Sovereign!'

Equivalent to the Supreme Lord of the Supreme Will faction.

Behind that title lay unimaginable resources and authority.

No Crimson race or Crimson lordly faction could remain unmoved by such a prospect.

"Tell me about the Crimson Holy Son."

"Do you mean he has led the Chaotic Crimson Empire? Has he actually established it?"

Zhou Zhan asked.

He found it utterly unimaginable that there now existed a crimson lord commanding an imperial-level lord faction.

He himself possessed the title of "Master of Spoils" and numerous top-tier lord talents, just one step away from establishing an imperial-level lord faction. Yet suddenly, someone informed him that another had already led such a faction—an advanced imperial-level one.

Zhou Zhan found it utterly absurd.

"The crimson prince in question is named 'Oss.'"

"He is indeed the strongest among the young generation of crimson lords."

"He did not personally establish this imperial-level lord faction. Who, in this day and age, could possibly build such a faction?"

Giroto spoke these words with a look of intense envy and admiration on his face. "He commands the Chaotic Crimson Empire not because he founded it himself, but because he possesses an utterly transcendent crimson lord talent."

"It is said this lord talent granted him inheritance of a divinely-ranked lord faction."

"As long as He achieves the designated war objectives and elevates His power and influence to a suitable level, He shall inherit a portion of a Divine Realm-level Lorddom."

"Currently, the opponent is a Red God of upper-tier divinity, thus naturally inheriting a high-tier Imperial Lorddom—the Chaotic Red Empire."

"It is said that should the opponent ascend to the level of True God, He would gain control over a portion of the resources, status, and authority of a Divine Realm-level Lorddom—the Chaotic Red Godrealm."

"If the opponent reaches the level of Supreme God, it is rumored that He would not only inherit an ancient race, but also awaken a Dominant-level Lorddom and bring it under His command."

"Thanks to this Lord's innate talent, He is virtually certain to become the strongest young Red Lord, and the foremost contender to the Supreme Red Sovereign."

"Which is precisely why, in this Universal Tribes Cataclysm event, He can serve as the overall commander of tens of thousands of veteran Imperial-level Red Lorddoms, all under the banner of a young Red Lord."

"Even my former master—Aro Chigens, the eldest son of a Supreme God, recently slain by that female general—must obey orders from Os."

Zhou Zhan: "...”

What kind of god-tier Red Lord talent is this?!

'Beginning with the inheritance of a Dominant-level Lorddom, I rise from a Black Iron-tier Red Lord'—is that it?
