Chapter 1165: All Races Shocked!

Chapter 1165: The Ten Thousand Tribes Are Shocked!

A notification of the Supreme Will appeared before every lord of the ten thousand tribes.

Seeing this latest update on the lords’ activities, every lord of the ten thousand tribes was stunned.

No…

Is it really over?!

The Supreme King’s Grand Activity was supposed to last for thirty days. Now, only twenty-two days have passed—more than two-thirds of the time—and it’s already concluded?

And yesterday, didn’t you just announce the special content for the Supreme King’s Grand Activity?

Has that special event also been prematurely ended?!

It’s been less than two days!

How utterly insane must the Celestial Sovereign of the People be, to wipe out one hundred advanced Crimson Empires within just two days?

Has even the high-tier Scarlet Empire become something so trivial before the eyes of the Common People's Emperor?

If one were to calculate by this measure, could it be that the Common People's Emperor might now even lead his troops to eradicate a low-tier Divine Kingdom-grade lord faction?

Stricken by this sudden realization, the lords of the myriad races stood dazed for a long time before hastily reporting the news to the racial factions backing them.

Then, staring at the final piece of updated event information, they fell into deep contemplation.

Lord of the Race?

Could they truly return to the original homeland of their race?

The original homeland of their race?

Could it be...

As a certain possibility dawned on them, their eyes suddenly blazed with light.

……

Very quickly.

The various racial powers behind the Universal Lords learned of the premature termination of the Universal King’s King event.

Upon receiving this news,

They were stunned.

Wait—wasn’t the Supreme Will only issued the content for the Universal King’s King special event two days ago?

How could it have ended so soon?

And it was ended by the Sunlord himself?

If you are truly that powerful, then what purpose did the Supreme Will serve by announcing this special event in the first place?

Was it merely to showcase your might and deliberately inform us of it?

Then, this coalition—composed of forces from the Supreme Alliance, who had already marched beyond the borders of their respective races, ready to aid your Rising Sun Empire—wouldn't they have come to nothing at all?

They thought so.

Completely disregarding their prior, silent agreement to delay their support for the Rising Sun Empire, allowing it to fall to the Crimson Host, so that their own allied forces might strike in the final moments.

Now, however,

Their coalition armies had all arrived.

Yet the crisis on the Rising Sun Empire’s side had been resolved single-handedly by the Rising Sun Lord himself—leaving them, in the end, the most ridiculous spectators.

That wasn’t the core issue.

The true question now burning in their minds was:

How powerful is the Celestial Sovereign and his Rising Sun Empire, at this very moment?

And thus, in this very instant—

Countless powerful beings of myriad races, across distances of billions of light-years, gathered their divine thoughts together and began to communicate.

[Is the Sunscorch Empire of the Sovereign of All Living Beings truly that powerful? Could it be that the Supreme Will intervened in secret? Otherwise, how could a mere primary empire like the Sunscorch Empire have annihilated the entire Crimson Horde?]

[You are mistaken. It was not that the Sunscorch Empire, a primary empire, annihilated the entire Crimson Horde. Rather, the Sunscorch Empire destroyed the top one hundred advanced Crimson Empires, including the Chaos Crimson Empire. The other fifty thousand-plus advanced Crimson Empires and the over a million Crimson Kingdoms suffered little loss. After the Crimson Lord issued the order to cancel this invasion of the Supreme Continent, these Crimson Empires and Crimson Kingdoms simply disbanded on the spot and returned to their homes.]

[Even so, that is still incredible. Those were the hundred strongest advanced Crimson Empires! It is said that behind them were even Divine Kingdom-level Crimson Lord factions supporting them. Under such circumstances, how could the other side have lost?]

[Lost is lost. Isn't that a good thing?]

[Flying Cloud True God, you are a lone sovereign god with no racial ties, so naturally you care not which of the myriad race lords is strong or weak. But we, as racial leaders, have the new generation of myriad race lords within our clans bearing the heavy responsibility of competing for the Supreme Lord and allowing our own races to rise. Naturally, we must care.]

[I have here the battle video of the Sunscorch Empire of the Sovereign of All Living Beings fighting against Os's Crimson Horde. Do you want to see it?]

[Yes, yes, yes!]

[Send me a copy too!]

[One lower-grade True God divine crystal per copy.]

[...Scoundrels! Give me a copy!]

[I've sent it to you—send me one right away.]

[Alright, alright—copies have been dispatched.]

Amid the relentless sales of these scoundrels, within mere moments, countless powerful beings from various races obtained the war footage.

When they had fully absorbed the contents of the video, they were left utterly speechless, their minds shattered by what they saw.

[This… the Celestial Sovereign of the People is truly that powerful?!]

[Nine lower-tier pseudo-Overlords were obliterated by the Celestial Sovereign alone? And not in his true form—only his four avatars?!]

[Didn’t you notice? Those four avatars of the Celestial Sovereign are each clad in full sets of Master Artifacts. If I possessed such a set, even an Overlord-tier deity would dare challenge me!]

[Even true Overlords rarely possess a single Master Artifact—where did this man acquire so many?!]

[Counting the Master Artifacts upon them, the Celestial Sovereign’s actual combat strength may already surpass that of lower-tier Overlords—and possibly… even reach the level of mid-tier Overlords!]

[It seems we have no choice but to acknowledge a truth: the human race, once regarded as mere vermin, has now risen to prominence.]

[With the Celestial Sovereign, a being not quite a Supreme God but surpassing all others in power, shielding the human race, their ascent is now undeniable.]

[How terrifying! The Celestial Sovereign has only been cultivating for so short a time, yet already possesses Supreme God-level strength? Now I understand why the Supreme Will, despite the opposition of countless races, insisted on selecting a master of each race to compete for the title of Supreme Sovereign. A native sovereign from the Supreme Continent would never birth such a monstrous, unruly contender.]

[Now arises a pressing question: how should we treat the Celestial Sovereign, who now wields Supreme God-level power, and the human race under His protection?]

[I'm withdrawing. My Tian Meng clan is protected only by True Gods, not by Supreme Gods. Facing the Celestial Sovereign’s Supreme God strength, I dare not venture forward and risk my life. Let others deal with him—my retreat is final.]

[Though our clan is blessed by a Supreme God ancestor, our forebears have never lightly provoked equals of that rank... Moving forward, should any actions target the Celestial Sovereign, I kindly ask the elder lineages of the top-tier bloodlines to refrain from involving our clan. We do not wish to inadvertently create another Supreme God-level adversary.]

[A bunch of cowards! After facing only minor setbacks, you turn back in fear? The contest for Supreme Sovereignship touches the future of all the realms. Should you abandon now, you are forfeiting your chance to shape your own race's destiny! How dare you call yourselves leaders? A complete lack of courage and responsibility!]

[If the Celestial Sovereign truly ascends to the title of Supreme Sovereign, considering His impartial treatment of both human and non-human peoples, it might not be entirely unreasonable...]

[You traitor! Do you even understand what you're saying? Do you wish for the human race to ride over you and your entire lineage?]

[Hmm.]

[Everyone, hold off on retreating or advancing just yet—let us first observe the latest actions of the Supreme Will's master. The upcoming events are likely to involve inter-racial competition. If that's truly the case, the foundational strength of the People's Emperor will inevitably fall short of ours, the ancient and powerful races that have existed for eons. Once the race-level contest begins, we—the ancestral races behind the myriad tribal rulers—will be able to directly support our tribal lords. Though the People's Emperor is formidable, the human race behind him is weak and incapable of providing significant aid. Without such support, he will be at a severe disadvantage. When the true contest of racial essence begins, victory will unquestionably belong to us. And thus, the position of Supreme Lord will remain firmly ours!]

[That makes sense. Let us hold off and watch the situation unfold for now.]

[I too agree to remain cautious and observe.]

…

On the battlefield.

Zhou Zhan, Zhou Wu, Zhou Zheng, and Zhou Tianming stared at the scattered, fleeing crimson mist monsters.
