Chapter 1209: The Crown of Wisdom! Heading to Earth!

Chapter 1209: The Crown of Wisdom! Heading to Earth!

Zhou Zhou also smiled silently.

How direct this War Sovereign truly is.

Before acquiring the Master Artifact, at least He had maintained a degree of decorum, addressing Zhou Zhou as "Your Highness."

But as soon as He obtained the Master Artifact, He dropped the title entirely—no longer calling Him "Your Highness," but instead simply using His name.

No wonder he is the most warlike among the Ten Sovereigns.

Zero remained utterly still, neither accepting nor rejecting Terris's request.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhou produced three more Master Artifacts.

"Your Highness Terris, here is the Master Artifact of lower rank for enhanced divine consciousness and offensive power—the 'Void Arrow.' The other two are the Master Artifact 'Empty Sky Ring' and the Master Artifact 'Heavenly Divine Feathers.'"

The War Sovereign's eyes lit up as he gazed at the three artifacts. After taking them from Zhou Zhou's hands, He immediately began to examine them carefully. After a moment, He smiled with satisfaction at Zhou Zhou.

"These four primary artifacts, I am thoroughly satisfied with!"

"Never could have imagined that the Lord chosen by my Mythic-Class, Unique Sovereign Talent would be so exceptional."

"You have truly surpassed my expectations!"

Tries spoke with satisfaction.

He hadn't anticipated that merely one single action would yield four primary artifacts—so many, in fact, that it surpassed the returns he'd received from launching interdimensional wars by a vast margin.

For a moment, he even considered following Zhou Zhou closely, seeking legitimate opportunities to acquire even more primary artifacts from him.

Yet, after careful thought, he abandoned that tempting notion.

Their status as the Top Ten Primary Deities is uniquely special.

Without Zhou Zhou's Mythic-Class, Unique Sovereign Talent summoning them, they would never have appeared here at all—let alone assisted in repelling the enemies.

And besides this current situation of foreign invasion, under no other circumstances could they possibly assist Zhou Zhou, let alone stay by his side, ready to help him at any moment.

Even if, as Supreme Deities, they themselves wished to do so, it would still be impossible.

The Supreme Will would not permit it.

On the other hand,

Zhou Zhou had also bestowed upon the Wisdom Primordial God and the Mechanical Primordial God their respective Primordial Weapons.

Both of them, like the War Primordial God, looked utterly incredulous—unable to believe they had actually received so many Primordial Weapons.

Just as the War Primordial God, both of them possessed only one Primordial Weapon.

The five Primordial Weapons bestowed upon them by Zhou Zhou truly shattered their understanding.

[Thank you.]

Zero said.

"This is what the noble deserves."

Zhou Zhou smiled.

Zero remained silent.

"Then so be it."

"We won't stay any longer."

"I hope you'll soon elevate your lordship's power to the rank of a divine realm, only then will you and we be truly bound together."

The War Supreme God spoke with deep intention.

Zhou Zhou was startled.

He sensed there was more beneath the words.

But just as he intended to ask further, the War Supreme God's gaze stopped him.

"When the time comes, you will know it naturally."

The God of War smiled.

Then He said no more, summoning once again His golden divine chariot and mounting it, driving it toward the depths of the starry void.

The God of Wisdom and the God of Machinery, seeing this, bid farewell to Zhou Zhou and departed in their own ways.

After these two divine beings had left, the smile on Zhou Zhou's face gradually faded.

He stared quietly at the direction from which the God of Wisdom had vanished, thought for a moment, and then his divine form instantly disappeared from the spot.

...

The Supreme Continent.

The Praja Empire, the Capital of Praja, within the Divine Palace Realm.

An empty golden throne, unoccupied.

Shush!

A figure materialized upon the imperial throne.

It was Zhou Zhou.

With a swift motion of his right hand, the Bodhi Master appeared in his grasp.

"Quite cautious," teased the Bodhi Master as soon as it emerged.

"Didn't the Master of Wisdom detect you?"

Zhou Zhou asked.

"Rest assured," said the Bodhi Master with confidence. "Though the Master of Wisdom is indeed exceptionally skilled in perceiving such things, under my concealment, He will absolutely not detect the hidden Wisdom Demon Crown I've concealed."

Zhou Zhou nodded.

The Crown of Wisdom!

This was the special artifact originally obtained by Him from Ji Yun's hands. Later, Bodhi Master revealed that within the Crown of Wisdom lay a fragment of Totbolth's mad soul—a fragment deeply entwined with a secret belonging to Totbolth himself. To prevent the Master of Wisdom from detecting Him through this crown, Zhou Zhou had entrusted it to Bodhi Master for safekeeping, and it has remained thus ever since.

"That's good."

Zhou Zhou nodded, then inquisitively asked, "What exactly is the hidden secret contained within the mad soul of Totbolth inside the Crown of Wisdom?"

"It will become clear to you when the time comes," said Bodhi Master.

Zhou Zhou furrowed his brow.

Another riddle?

He pondered for a moment, then decided against further questioning. He withdrew from Bodhi Master and, with a single blink, vanished from the Imperial Throne.

...

Beyond 12,000 light years from the original position of Blue Star.

Zhou Zhanjia had instantaneously transported the entire solar system here.

"This is it."

"This will be our new base from now on."

"Begin deployment immediately."

"Build a planetary defense system capable of withstanding the main god's assault as swiftly as possible."

He spoke to Bai Yun and the others.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Bai Yun replied respectfully.

Zhou Zhanjia nodded.

At that very moment, a figure materialized before Zhou Zhan—Zhou Zhou himself.

"Your Majesty," said Bai Yun, quickly bowing in respectful greeting upon seeing his true form.

Zhou Zhou nodded, then continued, "From now on, we will switch our identities. You must inform your troops to prepare accordingly. When we go out to fight, do not reveal that we are part of the Grand Army of the Prairial Empire. Act solely under your new identities."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Bai Yun replied, then immediately set about carrying out the orders.

Zhou Zhou, however, looked solemn, his mind turning inward:

"I must activate the second Universal Lord identity created by my 'One Body, Two Souls' master talent."

As soon as the words left his lips, a textual prompt appeared.

[Master Talent Prompt: You have successfully activated your new Universal Lord identity—'Commoner Lord (Junior Imperial Sovereign)!']

Zhou Zhou looked at his attire.

Before him, the Imperial Dragon robe he wore now shimmered faintly with a subtle blend of black and white light. After a moment, the glow faded, and in its place, a green robe adorned with bamboo patterns appeared upon his body.

Then he turned his gaze to the Imperial Sovereign's Sacred Path Sword at his waist.

There, his Imperial Sovereign's Sacred Path Sword had transformed into a blade of pure jade, entirely jade-green.

This blade exuded a thick, palpable essence of the Wood Law, appearing utterly genuine.

Yet Zhou Zhou knew well that the Wood Law within him was merely a disguise—his true core was entirely governed by the Imperial Sovereign's Law.

"If I were not my true self, seeing this form, I would certainly believe I was not the Master of the Prairial Dominion, but some other human master."

"Even the Supreme God, under this disguise, would likely be unable to discern that I am, in truth, the Master of the Prairial Dominion."

"This dual-origin master's talent—its ability to manipulate perception—is truly terrifying."

Zhou Zhou mused.

Then His eyes gleamed with bright anticipation, murmuring to himself:

"There is a twin-soul gift within me. In the near future, Blue Star should be safe from danger."

"And here on Blue Star, there are still two avatars—Zhou Zhan and Zhou Wu—guarding it."

"It's time to return to Earth."

With these thoughts in mind, He no longer hesitated. He soared into the sky, arriving upon Blue Star and passing through the portal to Earth.

Note

The one summoned by the Master's gift was not the Goddess of Life, but the Primordial God of Wisdom. The earlier version contained an error, which has now been corrected. The storyline remains unchanged—only the names and battle scenes have been slightly adjusted, with no impact on the plot. Readers who are interested are welcome to re-download the earlier chapters. Those who are not interested will be unaffected.

The mistake was not intentional on the part of the author. The Goddess of Life also possesses a mythic-level gift known as the Ark of Life. When writing this section, the author mistakenly believed it was part of the Ten Gods series and thus included it. This has truly been a disappointment to the readers' experience.

As an apology, the author has dedicated this week to posting an extra chapter.

This book has already reached nearly three hundred thousand words. The volume of text is so vast that the young author sometimes makes mistakes. Thank you all for reminding me.

From now on, the young author will absolutely try their best to avoid such errors!

Once I've done too much, I'll punish myself by updating more frequently!

Thank you all for enjoying the stories written by the young author.
