Chapter 1125: Lower God Mid-level Territory!

Chapter 1125: Intermediate Territory of a Lower God!

"The day of free divine blessings has finally arrived."

Zhou Zhou felt a surge of pride and satisfaction within his heart.

Since he first learned of the prestigious title "Pioneer's Glory," he had been eagerly anticipating this very moment. Now, his dream had finally come true.

With a sense of triumph, he opened the world channel.

Indeed, as expected, the human lords of the Blue Planet were all discussing the official promotion of their territories to god-tier domains.

["The Emperor is absolutely amazing!"]

["A god-tier territory! I'd love to visit the Emperor's domain. Living within his god-tier territory must be absolutely fantastic."]

[Congratulations, Lord Chao Yang! Our sovereign has once again outpaced all other lords, becoming the first commander to ascend to the rank of lower-tier divine being within a subordinate territory!]

[I am willing to relinquish my lordship and become a common citizen within the sovereign's domain.]

[Already dreaming before it's time to sleep?]

["Common"? Have you ever seen a common citizen in any lord's domain who are all professionals?]

[All professionals?!! Is this real?]

[I am a member of the Military Alliance, and had the privilege of visiting the Kingdom of Chao Yang. I can confirm what was said above is true—the common people of Chao Yang Kingdom are entitled to a free vocational reclassification certificate, allowing them to freely transition into combat or military-specific professions. This widespread professionalization is reportedly in place within the Kingdom of Chao Yang for some time now.]

[Unbelievable! My professional population stands at just 11%—that's already higher than most other lords. It's hard to imagine what a domain where everyone is a professional would look like.]

[I would like to take the sovereign as my adoptive father!]

[Get out of here! I want to be the sovereign's beard!]

……

Zhou Zhou looked at the chat contents of these people, and couldn't help but smile.

Then he turned his gaze to the chat contents of other channels—such as the Stellar Alliance channel, the Kingdom channel, and the Faction channel—and found that most of them were talking about him.

Not only was the Blue Star Lord discussing it, but other extraterrestrial lords were also speaking about Zhou Zhou's divine-tier territory. And from what they were saying, they were equally astonished—how could the Immortal Sovereign of the Common People elevate his territory to the level of a lower-tier divine being so suddenly?

Zhou Zhou found himself pondering this.

"The news is spreading incredibly fast."

"Could it be that I'm not only the first among the Blue Star Lords to upgrade my territory to a lower-tier divine rank, but also the very first among all the myriad ethnic lords to achieve such a feat?"

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Otherwise, how could this have caused such a massive uproar?

It made perfect sense.

The resources required to upgrade a territory to a lower-tier divine rank were nothing short of terrifying.

Even with Zhou Zhou possessing the "Treasure King" type of resource-based noble talent, combined with his conquest of countless ethnic factions, he had only just managed to gather enough resources.

Other noble lords from among the myriad races—despite originating from top-tier bloodline species—could not, without direct assistance from their ancestral ethnic powers, amass the required materials at this very moment to upgrade their territories to the divine level.

In that light, it was indeed possible that he would be the first among all the noble lords of the myriad races to successfully elevate his domain to the lower divine junior tier.

With this realization, Zhou Zhou ceased further contemplation and turned his gaze to the material requirements for upgrading his territory to the lower divine junior level.

[Building Upgrade: 50,000 megacredits of wood, 50,000 megacredits of fine sand, 50,000 megacredits of metal, 50,000 megacredits of stone, 5,000 lower divine junior divine crystals, 5 billion source crystals, 5 million units of time-element gemstones, 5 million units of space-element gemstones, 3 cities of lower divine junior level, 1 city of lower divine mid-level, 10 deities of lower divine junior level, 3 deities of lower divine mid-level, 5 million legendary-grade soldier specialists, 2,000 ethnic heroes, 10 domain decrees of lower divine junior level, 3 domain decrees of lower divine mid-level.]

"Basic materials, divine crystals, source crystals, time-space element gemstones, cities and domain decrees at the lower divine level, divine deities at the lower divine level, legendary-grade soldier specialists, and ethnic heroes—all have been gathered."

"I can upgrade my territory once again."

Zhou Zhou nodded in satisfaction.

He wasn't at all surprised by this development. After all, he had already accumulated a substantial amount of time-space element gemstones, and it was entirely reasonable that such resources would sustain continuous upgrades to his domain.

The only thing that slightly caught His surprise, however, was the requirement regarding racial heroes.

"Two thousand racial heroes."

"Is the threshold for promoting to a primary empire truly this high?"

"Granted, the number of heroes within my own territory has long since far surpassed this figure."

"Yet if memory serves, even within Alisar's Elven Empire—a high-tier empire in its own right—the total number of elven heroes they possess, both known and hidden, does not exceed five hundred, does it?"

Zhou Zhou was genuinely astonished.

This particular demand for heroes truly exceeded the bounds of His imagination.

In His recollection, when the native factions of the High Continent elevated their territorial ranks, they were never subjected to such an exorbitant demand for heroes, nor were their resource requirements ever this outrageous.

"Unless, in the upcoming events of the Supreme Will, a vast abundance of hero inheritance rewards will be bestowed, allowing the number of heroes under the command of the myriad race lords to swell dramatically, followed by encouraging warfare and annexation among them so that a single powerful faction might amass a great multitude of heroes... only then could such a number of racial heroes possibly be forged..."

Zhou Zhou harbored this silent conjecture within His heart.

To the urgings of the Supreme Will and His aspirations for the lords of all races, the design of such a "cultivating of venom" might indeed be plausible.

He pondered for a moment, then dismissed further thoughts, choosing instead to upgrade his territory.

The very next second,

twenty million megawatts of base materials, five thousand lower-tier god sub-tier god crystals, five billion source crystals, one hundred million units of temporal-space elemental gems, and thirteen lower-tier god sub-tier territorial decrees vanished without a trace.

A textual prompt appeared.

[Congratulations! Your lower-tier god sub-tier shrine (Lord's Law) has successfully advanced to a lower-tier god mid-tier shrine (Lord's Law)!]

[Your territory has successfully been elevated to a lower-tier god mid-tier domain!]

[Your lower-tier god sub-tier divine essence derivation array has been upgraded to a lower-tier god mid-tier divine essence derivation array.]

[Territory stone monument durability has increased to: 2 million / 2 million!]

[Your territorial expanse has expanded to 10 million km × 10 million km × 500,000 meters!]

[All Red Mist monsters have been expelled from the newly expanded territory range!]

[Red Mist will no longer appear within any of your territory ranges!]

[You have received an upgrade reward: Mythic Building Blueprint Box (Mid-Level God)!]

[Lord's Talent Prompt: Your Red Mother Nest can now be upgraded!]

[Lord's Talent Prompt: Your Mysterious Trading Corps has been enhanced!]

[Lord's Talent Prompt: The divine personnel of your Life Ark have gained strength!]

Zhou Zhou gave a slight nod.

Then he turned his gaze to the material requirements needed to upgrade his territory to Mid-Level God status.

[Building Upgrade: 100,000 meg-units of wood, 100,000 meg-units of fine sand, 100,000 meg-units of metal, 100,000 meg-units of stone, 10,000 Mid-Level God Crystals, 10 billion Source Crystals, 100 million units of Time Element Gems, 100 million units of Space Element Gems, 10 cities of Lower-Level God Subordinate Rank, 5 cities of Lower-Level God Intermediate Rank, 1 city of Lower-Level God Superior Rank, 20 deities of Lower-Level God Subordinate Rank, 10 deities of Lower-Level God Intermediate Rank, 3 deities of Lower-Level God Superior Rank, 10 million legendary-level soldier specialists, 3,000 race heroes, 20 territorial decrees of Lower-Level God Subordinate Rank, 10 territorial decrees of Lower-Level God Intermediate Rank, 10 territorial decrees of Lower-Level God Superior Rank!]
