Chapter 1196: Reactions from the Ten Thousand Clans! The Primary Deities on Their Way!

At the same time.

As Zhou Zhou had unified all the Blue Star Lords and had become the first to enter the second phase of activity, receiving the universal clan announcement, the other Ten Thousand Clan Lords, just returned to their respective clan territories, immediately began wailing in anguish upon hearing the news.

...

The Territory of the Primordial Spirit Clan.

Zhen Ling Star.

Upon hearing the announcement, the True Lord shook his head with a helpless sigh:

"Though we had anticipated this development, actually hearing it still brings a certain kind of pain."

"This individual must have used some unimaginable means to forcibly unify all the Blue Star Lords."

"Even though my clan's leadership supports me, and the high-ranking officials of my clan have already instructed all the Primordial Spirit Lords on my mother star to pledge allegiance to me, I still cannot instantly become the Sovereign Lord of Zhen Ling Star."

"That feeling of helplessness is truly unbearable."

The True Lord exhaled, then gazed upon this planet, vast as the entire sun.

It was a world within the original spirit race's domain—their motherworld.

True Spirit Star housed roughly thirty billion sentient beings. Yet, on its surface, only a handful of dozen original spirit lords dwelled. The rest were merely descendants bearing fragments of the original spirit lineage, or members of subordinate races serving the original spirit race and its bloodline heirs—those latter beings, in truth, were nothing more than slaves.

It was named True Spirit Star because, upon discovering His innate talent, the upper echelons of the original spirit race bestowed the entire planet and its surrounding star system upon Him. And thus, the motherworld took on the name "True Spirit Star."

At that time, He was still an infant, yet had already become the longed-for Star Lord in the dreams of countless beings.

He did not dwell on it further. Turning his gaze to the stars, he murmured to himself:

"Thankfully, it's still only the first stage."

"In this competition, the Pride of the Sun Lord has been severely suppressed. I still have a chance to claim first place!"

"I've already been second twice. I don't want to be second once more."

"Hmm?"

He turned his gaze toward the stars, his expression flickering with something strange, murmuring softly:

"This sky... could it be...?"

...

Within a space forged from primordial chaos, a gathering of chaotic deity races surged forth, each radiating an overwhelming aura of bloodline power.

"Chaos Sea—we have finally returned!"

The chaotic deities roared, sang, and howled in unison!

Amidst them all, a three-legged golden phoenix perched upon a golden throne, gazing down upon the chaotic scene beneath, its face alight with a serene contentment.

The Chaos Sea was truly the place befitting their kind. Though the Supreme Continent offered abundant celestial energies, it still paled in comparison to this realm—this was where they belonged.

"Your Majesty."

At that moment, a sacred-patterned white elephant soared from afar and landed before him, bowing respectfully.

"Report to Your Majesty: there has been a change in the outer realms!"

"Hmm?"

The Lord of Taiyi raised an eyebrow, then said, "Take me to see it."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

...

The Holy Pastoral Domain.

The God King Star.

Just as the Lord of Zhutian had led his subordinates through the portal, he heard the voice of the All-Ruler Broadcast across all tribes.

The Lord of Ascension's face darkened, but swiftly smoothed over the shadowed expression.

"I have awakened the Three Thousand Divine Realm Gateways, possessing the form of a Divine King. In the future, even if I must reach the pinnacle of the Supreme Deity, or even the level of pure will, I still have hope."

"Power is the only true foundation!"

"When my strength reaches that level, what will the People's Emperor be? What will the True Lord be? What will the Taiyi Lord be?"

"All their former glory to me is nothing but humble, common things."

"Outpacing others at first isn't victory—only those who triumph in the end are truly victorious!"

"Watch closely!"

"I will be the final Supreme Lord!"

The Lord of Ascension scoffed, leading his subordinates into the heart of the Divine King Star.

...

The Land of Wanling.

This is an immeasurably vast continent, home to countless races—billions, trillions—each with its own story, and within this vastness, the Ling races dwell in quiet obscurity.

They are like mountain deities, rooted in the earth, rarely appearing, yet when they do, their actions shimmer like miracles to ordinary beings, earning them awe and reverence.

To the creatures of this land, it seems they rule the continent themselves. Yet in truth, it is the very "Lings" they have long worshipped—those unseen, ancient forces—that hold dominion over this world.

And now, the Ling Sovereign Lord has arrived at the territory assigned to him.

"An epic-tier region within the Tianling State?"

The Sovereign Lord nodded slightly, smiling. "It seems the territories are distributed according to the rank of each of the Wanguan Lords—perhaps even more precisely, by the strength and stature of their respective domains."

He had arrived yesterday, having spent immense effort to elevate his Wanguan State territory from Transcendent Upper to Epic Lower rank—specifically to gain an edge in this new campaign.

Now, it appears his efforts have not been in vain.

"The territory I now inhabit lies within the Tianling State, a land inhabited entirely by the Tianling race. As a member of that race, I am one of them. Therefore, all that remains is to subdue and control every Ling Lord within Tianling's borders. Once that is achieved, I shall rightfully earn the title of Master of the Tianling Race."

The Spirit Sovereign Lord murmured to himself.

With high-ranking members of the Ten-Thousand-Spirits Clan backing him, achieving this was not difficult at all.

But the very next moment—

The voice of the Universal Clan Lords’ broadcast flooded into his ears.

The Spirit Sovereign Lord’s face stiffened, then softened into helpless resignation.

“I knew it would happen.”

“It seems now we can only compete for the remaining rankings. Though the rewards are negligible, it might still draw certain races to align with our Ten-Thousand-Spirits Clan—some even directly to my service as Spirit Sovereign Lord—so we can prepare for the future war to claim the Supreme Sovereign title.”

He mused aloud.

…

While the Universal Clan Lords were stunned, envious, resentful, and awestruck by the announcement of the Celestial Emperor Sovereign,

A group of alien warriors radiating the aura of Supreme Deities continuously employed teleportation, rushing toward the location of the Blue Star.

Counting them carefully, there were no less than twenty or thirty of them!

At that moment, one of them, emitting the essence of stars, seemed to have received a message, and his expression subtly shifted, saying:

"The human race's one has already claimed the final reward of the first phase of the Race Master's activities."

"Already?!"

"Still too late!"

"Damn it!"

...

Upon hearing this, the other Supreme Deities immediately grew displeased; some even lost their composure and began cursing loudly.

"Let him bask in temporary glory."

The foremost figure, clad in a robe of seven colors radiating a mysterious aura of fate, spoke coldly:

"He has departed from the Supreme Continent. The Supreme Accord can no longer protect him."

"Once we reach Blue Star, we seize him directly, claim all his treasures and opportunities, and then obliterate him right where he stands!"

Another, glowing with a deep blue light, resembling a creature from the ocean depths, sneered sarcastically:

"You, a master-tier being of the highest bloodline, would still care about a secret belonging to a lord of a hundred races?"

The seven-color robe figure glanced at him, speaking indifferently:

"The Ten Supreme Beings once stated that the Lord's Law involves the secret of ascending to Supreme Godhood—some even claim it is one of the foundational prerequisites for achieving Supreme Godhood."

"Which of the master-tier beings across the multiverse wouldn't desire that?"

"Is this merely rumor? Is it truly real?"

The other alien master god gasped, his eyes blazing with fervent passion.

Like beings of supreme divinity standing atop the peaks of all realms, the vast majority of phenomena within these realms no longer capture their attention.

Only when secrets involving the highest deities—or beyond—come into play do they awaken, driven by an insatiable, feverish hunger to pursue them.

"Whether or not it's true, we must verify it!"

In the eyes of the seven-colored divine robe, a firmness and madness flickered.

At hearing this, the other divine beings likewise exhibited similar expressions.
