Chapter 1211: Advancement to Intermediate Upper God Level!

Chapter 1211: Advancement to Mid-Level Supreme God!

After a long silence.

"There's a time when I'll go see her."

Zhou Zhou thought to himself.

He would by no means abandon his Earth-based girlfriend.

For he could feel, even after twenty years had passed, that his love and longing for her had not diminished—rather, it had grown deeper, more subtle, something unspoken and hidden from others. And she, too, felt the same.

In silence, Zhou Zhou gently released a sliver of vital energy, allowing it to merge within her body.

"Wait—?"

The girl, working at her computer, froze mid-motion, her face suddenly lighting up with surprise.

"Wh-what? My physical condition… why has it suddenly improved so much?"

"My physical state when I was eighteen hasn't been this good at any time."

Then she looked up at the sky, whispering softly:

"Are you protecting me?"

"I haven't given up at all."

"Even during the days you were gone, I've been living well. Just... sometimes I miss you so terribly..."

At that moment,

her phone beside her suddenly rang.

She glanced at it, and upon seeing the caller ID, her body seemed to electrify, trembling violently—then she swiftly picked it up.

"Hello!"

In the sky.

Zhou Zhou closed his eyes, speaking on the phone with the other.

After a long while.

He finally reluctantly ended the call.

"Long separation makes the reunion all the more sweet!"

"Eventually, we must hold her a grand wedding."

A smile played upon Zhou Zhou's face.

Then he soared once more into the heavens, gazing down upon this blue planet.

His expression settled into stillness.

"Having attained the throne of Emperor Supreme—"

"The Earth should also be reborn."

"Let us bring about a 'spiritual revival.'"

Zhou Zhou flicked his right hand, and a complete divine soul of lower-tier True God level appeared in his grasp.

This complete divine soul exuded a thick, vibrant essence of life laws—clearly a true god-level soul rooted in the fundamental principles of life.

"Using this true god soul of life laws as the core of the Earth's spiritual revival era should trigger a great evolutionary surge in life forms across the planet."

Zhou Zhou murmured to himself with a smile.

Then, he tossed the soul directly into the Earth's core and mantle.

In an instant,

Zhou Zhou felt the Earth's ascension energy index surge rapidly, climbing swiftly toward the threshold where extraordinary beings could emerge.

"Using the sliver of life essence I left behind for my grandparents and my girlfriend, they should be the most compatible with this true god-level soul. Unless something unforeseen occurs, the first transcendents will undoubtedly be my grandparents and my girlfriend."

Zhou Zhou thought.

Then he cast a rule technique across the entire Earth.

This technique was known as the "Silent Mind Incantation," a true god-tier rule technique capable of quelling negative thoughts within living beings—such as violence, bloodshed, fear—and guiding them into a state of stillness and inner calm.

When beings entered this state of stillness, they could unlock their fullest potential, absorb ambient ascension energy from the atmosphere, and accelerate their transformation into transcendent beings.

This would not only minimize the violence born from the resurgence of spiritual energy, but also rapidly and abundantly generate transcendent beings across the Earth, propelling the planet into the Age of Transcendence!

After completing this, Zhou Zhou casually bestowed upon the Qinhuangshan mountain within the country a gray, hazy celestial stone stele.

This celestial stele contained a complete lineage of cultivation techniques, spanning from Qi Cultivation Stage (Black Iron Tier) all the way through to Ascension Stage (Legendary Tier), originating from the human race’s early cultivation civilization.

By leaving it behind, Zhou Zhou ensured that the human race on Earth would have ready methods to follow once they entered the transcendent era—no longer forced to rely solely on their innate constitution and blindly absorb energy from the environment.

As for cultivation techniques beyond the True Immortal Stage (Lower God Tier), Zhou Zhou had not yet bestowed them.

Yet, upon this celestial stele, He inscribed a Flying Ascension Transport Array.

Once a human being on Earth reaches the stage of ascension, the Heavenly Stone Stele will sense their presence and invite them to ascend, taking them to the Sun Empire on the Supreme Continent to become divine deities serving the empire.

Should such a prodigious cultivator truly emerge and ascend beside him, Zhou Zhou would by no means fail to honor them.

After completing all this, Zhou Zhou settled in the starry void, silently gazing upon the blue planet below.

Gradually, a terrifying divine aura emanated from his being, and the pressure of this divine presence continued to intensify.

Fortunately, a fragment of his consciousness had been detached, forcibly containing the naturally surging divine aura within the boundaries of his divine body.

Otherwise, should these freely radiating divine pressures fall upon Earth, the planet would be obliterated instantly.

A moment later—

Zhou Zhou’s divine aura surged dramatically!

Mid-level Divine Master Rank!

After having carried out a series of actions upon Earth, he had unexpectedly shattered the divine threshold, ascending to the mid-level divine master rank.

This has not ceased.

Just after ascending to the upper tier of mid-tier deities, Zhou Zhou's divine aura had begun to rise even further.

Another half hour passed.

Boom!

Lower-tier Upper Deity!

As a cultivator undergoing a rank ascent, Zhou Zhou seemed entirely unaware of his promotion, still gazing at his long-cherished mother planet.

Remarkably, although the surge of his divine aura had somewhat diminished, it continued to rise steadily.

An hour later.

Boom!

Zhou Zhou's nine-colored divine light flared once more, countless laws hidden within, like stars scattered across the vast expanse, forming a colossal celestial realm of divinity.

He officially entered the mid-level of the Upper God tier!

At this point, the aura of advancement surrounding Zhou Zhou gradually faded, eventually settling into stillness.

And now, Zhou Zhou's divine realm had stabilized firmly at the mid-level of the Upper God tier.

A moment passed.

Only then did Zhou Zhou regain consciousness.

Feeling the depth of his divine state, a gentle smile spread across his face, and he murmured to himself:

"Unthinkable—returning to my homeland should have become my obsession."

"Now that my obsession has been fully resolved, my understanding of divine principles is complete and unbroken. Precisely because of this, my divine realm has surged dramatically, leaping from the mid-level of the mid-tier Upper God to the mid-level of the Upper God in one bound."

"An entire tier elevated."

"Only one step away from the True God realm—the upper tier of the Upper God."

Zhou Zhou pondered.

When the True God arrived—

He wouldn't need the power of "Moon Demon" or "Li Tian Di" to elevate himself directly to the rank of Supreme God.

With the Moon Demon, Li Tian Di, and the Supreme Artifact...

Even the Ten Supreme Gods might not stand a chance!

Then, he glanced one final time at Earth, before turning and vanishing into the stars.

...

In the star domain of the Blue Planet.

Not long after Zhou Zhou returned, he received a report from Wu Tu.

"Report to the Sovereign: All intelligence in the surrounding star domain has been gathered. This is the complete report."

Wu Tu spoke respectfully.

Then he activated the projection, allowing Zhou Zhou to view it.

Zhou Zhou looked upon it.

The stellar region they now inhabited was known as the Hailong Expanse. Spanning over twenty thousand light-years in diameter, though situated in a remote corner, it was rich in resources and teeming with life-bearing planets—indeed, a secondary abundance zone. It was ruled by a true god-level entity named the Hailong Star Sovereign.

"First, seize the Hailong Sovereign."

With a single, simple sentence, Zhou Zhou had already determined the fate of that being.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wu Tu spoke respectfully.
