Chapter 1202: Arrangements!

Zhou Zhou looked at the Lance of Longinus in his hands, his mind filled with silent admiration.

He had never seen what a Supreme Divine Artifact looked like.

Yet he sensed that even if a weapon of destruction were the most powerful of its kind, it would still pale in the face of the absolute damage rules embodied by the Lance of Longinus.

"Owning you is worth more than possessing any Supreme Divine Artifact."

Gently caressing the Lance of Longinus, Zhou Zhou's heart swelled with joy.

This Lance of Longinus could stand alongside the Divine Sword of Xuanyuan and the Sacred Path Sword of the Emperor as a trusted weapon for both himself and his clones.

Even as he ascended to greater heights in the future, these growable artifacts would remain by his side, ever ready to serve him.

At that very moment,

a sudden sense of danger stirred within him.

The feeling of crisis was like knowing someone was pressing a gun against the back of his skull, that any movement on his part would be met with instant, merciless gunfire—sending a shiver of dread through his spine.

"I knew it. This return to Blue Star won't be peaceful."

"Probably some faction from the various races, or the Crimson Faction, sending their God-Rank lords, elite bloodline clans, or Crimson Faction forces to cause trouble."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't feel such an overwhelming sense of danger."

"The Supreme Will truly is absurd. After all, I'm one of His finest leaders among the myriad races—why isn't there any rule in place to protect such leaders during this event?"

Zhou Zhou muttered to himself in frustration.

Yet, there was little he could do.

Still, he held a trump card in his hand, and thus, his heart didn't race with undue panic.

"Zhou Zhan, issue orders to prepare the entire army. We're going to leave Blue Star shortly—let those who intend to ambush us come empty-handed."

Zhou Zhou instructed Zhou Zhan.

Good thing the duplicate wasn't included in the transfer quota; otherwise, He wouldn't have even managed to bring his own copy to Blue Star.

"Alright."

Zhou Zhan immediately set about doing it.

"Zero, shortly I will absorb Blue Star and the entire solar system into my divine realm. You are to carry out a major technological upgrade on Blue Star within the divine realm—ideally, deploy the most advanced planetary defense system possible, one capable of withstanding attacks from a Supreme God level."

Zhou Zhou issued further orders to Zero.

[Yes, Your Majesty.]

Zero replied.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhou instantly activated a divine realm portal, preparing to draw Blue Star into his divine realm.

His mid-tier divine being, mid-level divine realm was comparable in scale to a top-tier true god's mid-thousand realm—absorbing one Blue Star was as simple as dropping a grain of sand into the Pacific Ocean.

But then, unexpectedly, something went wrong.

Because as He was drawing the Blue Planet into His divine realm, a faint, pure white light suddenly emerged around the Blue Planet.

These pure white radiance blocked Zhou's Chaotic Divine Power from entering, effortlessly repelling the gravitational pull of the divine realm, and allowing the Blue Planet to continue its natural orbit with the stability of a mountain.

A flicker of astonishment passed through Zhou's eyes.

Such light... was it the Supreme Will preventing me?

Indeed.

A line of text appeared before Zhou.

[Race Sovereign Activity Prompt: During the Race Sovereign's activity period, it is strictly forbidden to transfer the Sovereign's domain into other realms as a means of evading the Race Sovereign's assigned tasks or attacks from opposing forces.]

Zhou furrowed his brow slightly.

Ah. That was the reason.

No wonder the Supreme Will was blocking me.

Yes.

If a lord of a myriad races, like Him, were to shrink their entire race's territory into a world-class artifact and then hide oneself in a remote, concealed corner of the cosmos as a mere silver coin, perhaps they could truly escape this race-master event.

After all, the universe is vast—should one truly wish to vanish, without any special means, it would be nearly impossible to locate them.

"Well, then."

"At worst, just have the duplicate carry the Blue Star and teleport away."

Zhou Zhou didn't take this matter seriously.

With His current capabilities,

in the myriad heavens and realms, there was hardly anything that could truly challenge Him.

Simply carrying a planet away?

To Him, it was as effortless as breathing.

At this very moment.

The voice of Zhou Zhan appeared in Zhou Zhou's mind.

"Main body, I'm taking Blue Star with me now. They're drawing closer and closer."

"Alright, go ahead. I'll play with them."

Zhou Zhou smiled faintly.

"Alright."

Zhou Zhan naturally had no concerns about Zhou Zhou's safety.

In terms of valuing life—

Together, all their copies combined, still paled in comparison to the main body's resilience.

...

Blue Star.

Xifeng Peak.

This is the highest peak on Blue Star, the holy ground in the hearts of countless climbers.

At this moment, the surroundings are utterly silent and empty—only Zhou Zhan stands here.

After exchanging words with Zhou Zhou, he knelt halfway on the ground, his hands touching the earth.

Then, with a single thought—

Whoosh!

The entire Blue Star vanished instantly.

And with it, the entire solar system was transported along with Zhou Zhan.

He did this out of fear of damaging the delicate ecosystem of Blue Star.

Otherwise, if Blue Star were to leave alone, it might lose its orbital environment within the solar system, causing ecological imbalance—just one misstep, and Blue Star could face a catastrophic extinction.

Though Zhou Zhou didn't fear this, it was still wiser to avoid such a scenario.

As the entire solar system vanished,

only Zhou Zhou remained, floating in the vastness of the starry void.

With the solar system gone, the space around him felt strangely empty.

Yet Zhou Zhou didn't mind. Instead, he turned his gaze toward the two other suns in the sky.

One large, one small, both radiating searing fire and terrifying energy.

It was these two stars, together with the sun of the solar system, that had been relentlessly scorching Blue Star.

Had it not been for Zhou Zhan transferring the entire solar system—including Blue Star—away, Blue Star would have turned into a dead world within no time.

Staring at these two suns, then glancing at the surrounding stars, Zhou Zhou murmured:

"Indeed, this place is not the original universe of Lanxi."

"According to the hints provided by the cosmic star map, this should be situated within a colossal multiverse—a specially crafted 'activity universe' by the Supreme Will, created solely for this event, designed to facilitate the rivalry among the sovereigns of countless races."

"For this gathering, the Supreme Will did not only fabricate this activity universe, but also transferred the ancestral domains of all the race sovereigns from across the infinite realms into this one."

"What a grand undertaking."

Because of this, Zhou Zhan, upon relocating his entire solar system, did not exit this activity universe but instead intended to move to a star region situated roughly hundreds of millions of light-years away.

Though this could not guarantee that the most powerful race factions would inevitably find Lanxi, it would still provide sufficient delay.

At that very moment,

three resonant sounds echoed across the infinite realms.

[Congratulations, True Spirit Star—Original Spirit Race of the True Sovereign, successfully unified all original spirit race chieftains of True Spirit Star, now granted ruling authority over the ancestral domain of the True Spirit Star Original Spirit Race. Reward: First Stage Standard—Sovereign of the Race, and First Stage Sovereign of the Race Box!]

[Congratulations to the Primordial Spirit Clan of Zhenling Star—True Sovereign, for successful unification…]

[Congratulations to the Primordial Spirit Clan of Zhenling Star—True Sovereign, for successful unification…]

Zhou Zhou raised an eyebrow.

That speed was astonishing.

He had achieved such rapid unification only by leveraging immense power to forcibly consolidate all the Blue Star Sovereigns in an instant.

This True Sovereign, lacking such overwhelming strength, yet having unified all the other Primordial Spirit Clan Sovereigns on Zhenling Star—likely must have been the result of decisive intervention from the higher echelons of his race.
