Chapter 1219: The God of Books! Writing an Autobiography?

Chapter 1219: The God of Books! Shall I Write a Self-Portrait?

Zhou Zhou stared at this legendary dragon of silver-white hue, his eyes filled with awe.

This legendary dragon, even among the ranks of legendary dragons, stood as a truly extraordinary figure.

It was said that he possessed vast knowledge of both ancient and modern times, capable of peering into the fates of living beings. His favorite pastime was to traverse through countless timelines, observing the evolution of life across different worlds, thereby comprehending the laws of time itself.

Many legendary dragons, before Chio, would respectfully address him as an elder, and their own growth had, in various ways, been blessed by the Time Dragon’s wisdom.

Within the legendary dragon hierarchy, only a few supreme figures—such as the First Dragon and the Golden Holy Dragon God—could stand even in comparison to him in status.

Just as Zhou Zhou’s mind was reeling with astonishment,

the Time Dragon within the internal world of the Cosmic Emperor suddenly glanced in Zhou’s direction, then vanished completely from sight.

The next instant—

He appeared before Zhou Zhou.

"Time God Dragon - Qiudo, I bow to the Supreme Sovereign of the Common People."

Qiudo smiled broadly.

"Your Grace, Qiudo."

Zhou Zhou returned the bow with polite restraint.

The Qiudo before him was only at the mid-level of mid-tier godhood.

Yet this was certainly not his true strength. It was likely a deliberate choice to adapt to the original rules of Long Yuan, so that this great being had lowered his power to the mid-tier god level.

If he wished to restore his peak master god strength, it would be merely a thought away.

At that moment, Qiudo spoke again.

"I have traversed time to arrive here, for only one purpose."

"I have been entrusted by a close friend to write a book for the Emperor—a memoir—to be kept in His grand library."

"Oh?" Zhou Zhou showed curiosity. "May I ask, who is the friend of the Crowned One?"

"He calls himself the God of Books, and his greatest passions are writing, reading, and collecting books."

"Chiao Dou chuckled, "We met by chance, and since then, we've become close friends."

"Before entrusting me, He specifically instructed me: if you're unwilling, He can compose the memoir about Your Majesty using information He has gathered and myths and legends He has collected himself."

"Would Your Majesty have any thoughts on this?"

"Oh, by the way, my friend also mentioned that, if the Emperor agrees, after the book is completed, He will present a gift to Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhou didn't hesitate. He smiled lightly. "As long as it doesn't intrude upon my private life, writing the memoir isn't out of the question. However, since it's my own memoir, once the book is finished, I intend to review it. If anything seems inappropriate, I will remove it."

"That is the right of the Crowned One," Chiao Dou smiled. "The memoir will primarily feature personal experiences and interviews, and will not contain any private details you would not wish to see."

"Then I have no objections."

Zhou Zhou nodded.

It's nothing more than a record of one's own journey—what could be so extraordinary about it?

"From now on, I'll be a burden for a while. Should the need arise, I can still fight for the Crowned One with this old body of mine."

Chio laughed cheerfully.

"That would be splendid," Zhou Zhou replied, a smile spreading across his face. "From now on, I'll rely entirely on the Crowned One's protection."

The Crowned One was undoubtedly a top-tier deity of the upper echelon of the Supreme Deities. Though not among the Top Ten, among the deities beyond that tier, his combined mastery of techniques ranked as one of the best.

With the Crowned One by his side, Zhou Zhou felt an overwhelming sense of security.

Then, He opened the ranks of the legion and incorporated all six million and more pure-blooded dragon race members—including Chio—into the Dragon God Legion.

The Dragon God Legion had long remained the weakest of His forces, due to the absence of any true god-level warrior, and because all its members were rare pure-blooded dragons.

Thus, it had always been the weakest among His legions.

Now with the addition of these sixty million pure-blooded dragon kin, plus the presence of the great deity Qioudou, the strength of the Dragon God Army has now fully matched that of the Jiaoyang Army.

After a moment's thought, He said:

"Lord Qioudou, there are still two or three hours left today. I intend to lead my troops on a training mission, seize a few territories, and perhaps expand our influence. Would you care to join me?"

Primarily, He hadn't yet utilized the internal subversion among his subordinate Star Alliance lords. He intended to make use of the remaining time to carry out that operation.

"Of course."

Qioudou nodded with a smile.

In His eyes, this was the Emperor testing His abilities.

Then, why not show the Emperor just how capable He truly was?

He gazed at the Emperor, sensing the dense aura of the Light Holy Dragon bloodline, as well as the presence of several legendary dragon clans. A deep sense of admiration filled His heart.

This Emperor—truly, his ties to the Dragon Clan run deep.

And yet, it was connected to so many legendary dragon clans.

In this age of universal clan lords vying for supremacy, the nature of this connection remained uncertain—whether it was a blessing or a curse.

Perfectly timed, he decided to follow this Imperial Sovereign closely, to witness the unfolding of his destiny and the fate of the myriad realms.

Chio, the one who walked the Path of Time while simultaneously mastering the Path of Fate, was deeply curious about the fate and future woven into Zhou Zhou’s very being.

…

Zhou Zhou swiftly led his army into motion.

The forces and divine beings taken by Bai Yun constituted only half of his total military strength and divine count, so half remained behind in the Sunny Empire, dedicated to defending the realm and launching expeditions abroad.

Yet even half of that number still amounted to fifty million soldiers, over a million divine beings, and more than seven hundred true gods.

The original form of Bai Yun traveled to the Blue Planet aboard the Everlasting Mother Ship, while her subordinate, a fragment summoned through the Gate of Summoning, followed Zhou Zhou.

Now a true god in strength, Bai Yun found it simple to create a temporary, lower-tier divine being—something that could not endure for long.

And on the side of the Time Dragon God—Qioudou—though he had anticipated such a scenario, his heart still stirred in astonishment upon seeing Zhou Zhou's vast army.

The scale of this force, both in soldiers and divine beings, was beyond belief.

Even some divine-kingdom-level noble factions would not possess such numbers. It was inconceivable that a leading chieftain among the myriad races could muster such power at this stage.

Yet… precisely because of this, it was precisely this human race chieftain who had earned the name of Celestial Sovereign.

There is no wrong title, only a misnamed one.

And even more so, a title bestowed directly by the Supreme Will itself.

Qioudou paused for a few seconds, then observed as silver light flickered across his form, transforming him into an elderly figure clad in a silver divine robe.

From nowhere, he produced a book and a quill, and began writing upon the pages.

Zhou Zhou, witnessing this, felt a subtle surprise.

So it began?

He didn't care, carrying on as usual.

"Your Majesty," the now-true god Luo Sheng approached Zhou Zhou respectfully, "there are approximately 56 seconds remaining until we reach the advanced Crimson Empire—Lan Lu Empire—adjacent to our territory."

"An advanced Crimson Empire?"

Zhou Zhou's brow lifted slightly, puzzled, "Did we have such an advanced Crimson Empire surrounding our domain previously? I can't recall ever having heard of it."

As the sovereign of a nation, he should have a clear understanding of the nations bordering his realm.

Yet, at this very moment, he had absolutely no memory of the Lan Lu Crimson Empire.
