Chapter 1160: Oss's Surrender Offer! You and Your Original Body Will Both Die by My Hand!

Chapter 1160: Os's Surrender! You and your true form will die at my hands!

"This is not the true Ancient Continent nor the Eternal River of Time."

"It is merely a temporal illusion born from a fragment of the Ancient Sacred Lands."

"It only exerts the effect of temporal stasis and sealing."

"It poses no real harm to us."

At that moment,

Zhou Zhan's calm voice echoed clearly in the ears of everyone present.

Yuan Cong stiffened momentarily, then looked again with careful attention before patting his chest and deeply exhaled, a bitter smile spreading across his face like someone who had just escaped death:

"I told you so."

"If I truly arrived on the Ancient Continent, how could a mere True God like me still be alive?"

At this very moment.

The voice of Zero echoed.

[Enemy location has been identified.]

[The enemy is now approaching us...]

[10 light years... 7 light years... 2 light years... 1 light year, 50 million kilometers...]

As Zero reported,

Zhou Zhan, Zhou Wu, and the other generals had already seen, high above the vast expanse of the stars,

a relentless wave of true god-class warships, and countless war vessels of rank -5, bearing hundreds of millions of crimson armies, crimson deities, crimson true gods, various war machines, and other war constructs, surging through layers of star clouds, finally arriving at a distance of approximately one light year.

In comparison,

the Eternal Mother Ship, where Zhou Zhan and his companions were stationed, and the ten surrounding Cosmic Emperors, were as insignificant as ants to an elephant.

"Lord of the Scorching Sun."

Os's voice echoed from the crimson warship high above, resonating through every living being present.

"You have been ensnared by my subordinate divine array—the Ten-Direction Boundless Array—and the Eternal Sacred Soil."

"Before you lies only one choice: die in battle, or surrender."

"You are gifted beyond measure on the path of a Lord, a master chosen by the Supreme Will. I, Os, the Sovereign of the Chaos Crimson Empire, and my master, the Crimson Sovereign, hold you in high regard."

"I know you are a holder of the Imperial Sovereign rank, proud at your core, unwilling to bow to any other race."

"But truly—would you abandon all your skills and accomplishments, and die senselessly upon this battlefield?"

"Join my cause!"

"Come into the arms of our Crimson Sovereign!"

"The treatment you will receive under the Crimson Sovereign's banner will far surpass what you currently enjoy under the Supreme Will."

"To be honest, I am envious of you."

"So I grant you only one minute to consider."

"If, after one minute, you still do not choose to surrender, I shall have no choice but to follow the will within my heart and destroy you, this Emperor of the Realm, personally."

On the Eternal Mother Ship.

After hearing this, Zhou Zhan let out a faint, quiet smile.

Did he intend to feign conciliation, while simultaneously using these words to undermine the morale of my troops?

Alas.

The soldiers under my command have long since stabilized their morale—through countless techniques, hero abilities, laws of nature, and even the innate talents of their lords. The peak state of their spirit has been maintained for far longer than anyone could recall.

To strike morale?

Impossible.

But…

If the enemy is so confident, then let us fight them head-on!

He claims to have a hundred times our forces?!

Then let him see what true one-versus-a-hundred looks like!

"Full assault!"

"Let these fools understand what the Sun Army—famed for routing the chieftains and factions of all races across the Supreme Continent—really is!"

Zhou Zhan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" ×n

The generals responded with solemn, cold determination.

Even if the enemy has a hundred times our strength—so what?

A similar crisis—they had not faced it for the first time!

Having weathered countless wars and threats, their hearts were already anchored in a single belief.

As long as they stood beneath the Emperor’s guidance, they would prevail in every battle, unyielding and invincible!

Enemies?

Kill them!

Dead?

What fear remains?

Bai Yun wasted no time. Immediately, she dispatched generals, deities, and entire legions of armies—flying forth from the Eternal Mother Ship and the Cosmic Emperor’s Vessel. Within mere half a minute, she swiftly arrayed her forces in the outer realm, summoning 70 True Deity-level Array Spirits—Nine-Headed Hell Hounds—and over 100,000 Spirit-level Array Spirits of various kinds!

These Array Spirits were the fruits of their growth over the course of that one night and one day.

Though not as efficient as the growth achieved in the Age of Time, they still represented a hundredfold gain over what was normally attained through daily training.

Zhou Zhan nodded slightly at this scene.

War!

Indeed, it was one of the fastest methods to familiarize and master the spirit of military formations among soldiers!

At the same time,

When Osiris and the other sovereigns witnessed the massive army of the Praja Empire emerging from the warships, their brows subtly lifted, expressions tinged with surprise.

"Has it truly escaped the timeless stasis of the Ancient Holy Soil?"

"The Celestial Sovereign of the Common People truly possesses some skill."

"But even if they have escaped the timeless stasis of the Ancient Holy Soil—what then? Facing our forces, ten times greater in number, their final outcome can only be defeat."

"Haha, that's true, too."

The rulers of the Crimson Empire burst into laughter, discussing fervently.

There was not a single flicker of concern about the possibility of defeat.

Not even Os himself.

And then, suddenly—

Os's brow twitched.

For he had just witnessed two "Zhouzhou" emerging from the Eternal Mother Ship.

"One is a copy of Zhouzhou," he mused. "So the other—must be the original?"

"Both Zhouzhou and the original have arrived?"

"Yes, of course. In this situation, the original must come. Otherwise, if they fall, even if the original is stationed safely behind the lines, it would be impossible for it to rise again. In that case, it would be better to die on the battlefield than to remain powerless."

"Ha ha ha! Perfect—let's kill them both at once. That way, we fulfill the Crimson Master's task left to us, and then we can proceed with our normal invasion operations!"

……

The red sovereigns, upon seeing Zhou Zhan and Zhou Wu, immediately brightened.

After all, their target was right before them!

Osiris narrowed his eyes slightly.

He suspected these two might not be the true forms of Zhou Zhou, but rather his avatars.

Whether they were the original or mere copies no longer mattered.

For he possessed a relic capable of affecting the original—killing either the body or the spirit would yield the same result.

"Lord of the Sun,"

"If you have come this far, then I ask you—would you be willing to surrender to the Emperor?"

Osiris spoke in a low, resonant tone.

Zhou Zhan, upon hearing this, remained expressionless.

"Oss."

"You will perish at my hands."

"I am not only speaking of you—I am speaking of your true form."

"As for this battle today—"

"I will win!"

He spoke softly, his voice unshaken, as if the million-strong army were nothing at all.

Oss's face grew icy.

"Die!"

"Looks like I'll have to take your corpse to account for."

"Up!"

"Destroy the Emperor of the Common People and his entire army!"

"Leave not a single survivor!"

Zhou Zhan spoke coldly:

"All units, advance!"

"As for that Os."

"Leave it to me."

Having said this, he turned his gaze to the stars.

It was nighttime.

The Great Moon Star hung high in the sky, pouring out endless moonlight.

Zhou Zhan and Zhou Wu closed their eyes at the same time.

Talent - Moon Demon...
