Chapter 1223: Mythic-Class · Sole Sovereign Talent — The Blessing of the God of Agriculture, Shinon!

After calculations, they returned with approximately 120 billion Crimson Soldiers, 625 deities, and 12 True Gods.

The gains from this operation were far less than those achieved previously when they had successfully turned the Crimson Army of Os.

Yet Zhou Zhou did not find this surprising.

How could the scattered forces surrounding the borders of the Jiaoyang Empire possibly compare to the Crimson Coalition led by Os?

Moreover, the Crimson Coalition that Zhou Zhou had just defeated was composed of the vast majority of the forces that the gods had gathered together.

After dispatching these troops, the number of forces remaining within each of their own domains was already minimal. To have managed to sway so many Crimson soldiers and Crimson deities was, in itself, beyond what they had expected.

Now, dusk had fallen. Though Zhou Zhou's army, empowered by the Crimson Enemy Sovereign Talent, was no longer afraid of the nocturnal Crimson mist, Zhou still decided to bring his troops back into the Jiaoyang Empire for rest and recovery, resuming battle only the next day.

...

The Capital of Jiaoyang.

After Zhou Zhou returned, he immediately headed to the Divine Palace and shifted his perspective to Zhou Zhan on Blue Star.

Then he learned that, following the conquest of Ha Long's True God and the Universal Chieftains of the Wind Spirit Clan, Zhou Zhan had gone on to subdue three True God-tier chieftain dominions and a total of 112 Universal Chieftain dominions in the surrounding regions.

He had amassed a staggering 300 million and 60,000 Competitive Points, plus 154,200 Hidden Chieftain Store Points!

The overwhelming majority of the Competitive Points came from the three True God-protected True God-tier dominions—each one alone contributed a massive 300 million points.

The remaining 60,000 Competitive Points were earned from the Universal Chieftains.

As for the Hidden Chieftain Store Points, all factions contributed fairly evenly, indicating that the value of these points wasn't tied to the strength of the conquered enemies, but rather to the sheer number of enemies defeated.

Moving forward, Zhou Zhan and his allies had no intention of resting—they were preparing to launch further assaults on every remaining chieftain domain.

In the universe where Zhou Zhan operated, a new, vast multiverse created by the Supreme Will existed, free from the threat of the Crimson Mist. Thus, neither Zhou Zhan nor any other Universal Chieftain faction would pass up this prime opportunity for expansion.

Other chieftains still vied for the first stage of the Race Master title, but Zhou Zhan seized this moment to continue conquering hostile forces, amassing both Competitive Points and Hidden Chieftain Store Points.

Upon learning Zhou Zhan’s strategy, Zhou Zhou naturally agreed.

Afterward, He conversed with Zhou Zhan for a brief moment, primarily to remind him to gather Time-Space elemental gems so that the Scorching Sun Empire upon the High Continent could ascend, before ultimately severing the connection.

Subsequently, Zhou Zhou entered the World of Reincarnation to resume his comprehension of the Lord's Law.

He needed to elevate his personal strength to the level of a True God as soon as possible.

When that moment arrived, Zhou Zhou’s individual prowess would undergo a qualitative metamorphosis!

Even without borrowing the power of the Moon Demon or the Force Heavenly Emperor, he would be capable of possessing genuine Master God-tier combat strength solely through his Law Skill, 'King'!

Augmented by the myriad blessings bestowed upon him by the Force Heavenly Emperor, the Supreme Sacred Body, and Master God-tier artifacts, he was confident that when the time came, he could stand against existences on par with the Ten Master Gods without suffering defeat!

Time flew by.

Very soon.

The next day arrived.

Within the Sacred Palace of Reincarnation.

Zhou Zhou slowly opened his eyes.

He felt his Supreme Holy Body, his brows slightly furrowing.

"Having expended all the shards of Lordly Talents and the Lordly Talent Sphere—only managed to advance the progress of a Supreme Holy Body from Intermediate Divine God to Upper Divine God by half?"

"It seems I'll still need another couple of days to elevate my Supreme Holy Body to the Upper Divine God level."

"Only hope I can reach the Supreme Holy Body of Lower Master God soon."

"Then, when that happens—"

"I'll be invincible within the Master God realm."

"Even if all ten Master Gods come together, they won't stand a chance against me!"

Zhou Zhou's heart brimmed with anticipation.

Then he turned his gaze to the newly awakened Lordly Talent that had emerged during his cultivation process.

As expected, it was another Mythical-tier, Unique Lord Talent.

[Lord Talent: Blessing of Hinon, God of Agriculture (Mythical-Tier · Unique)]

[Talent Effect 1—Blessing of the Agriculture God: Your territory is blessed by Hinon, the God of Agriculture. Within your domain, the yield of all crops is increased by +10,000%! Furthermore, all agricultural life-professionals can accumulate ascension energy simply by planting and harvesting crops, and the energy they receive is increased by +10,000%!]

[Talent Effect 2—Divine Cultivation: When the agricultural life-professionals within your territory cultivate crops, there is a 5% chance the crops will improve in quality by +1, and a 1% chance they will improve in quality by +1 while undergoing a benign mutation.]

[Talent Effect 3—Children of Agriculture: When you or the agricultural life-professionals under your command reach the absolute limit of your potential, you can break through those boundaries and attain a new professional realm by dedicating yourselves to the study of agricultural theory and practical knowledge.]

[Talent Effect 4—Food is the Heaven of the People: Any living being that consumes crops produced within your territory will taste a profound sense of happiness, vastly increasing the likelihood that they will seek to eat them again.]

[Specific Talent Effect 5—Protection of the Master God: The development of you and your lord faction will not be maliciously obstructed by other entities of the Master God tier. Hinon, the God of Agriculture, will secretly watch over you and your faction, intercepting any malicious Master God-tier powerhouses who attempt to approach.]

[Specific Talent Effect 6—Guardian of the Divine Kingdom: When your lord faction ascends to the level of a Primary Divine Kingdom, Hinon, the God of Agriculture, will automatically join your ranks, becoming a fiercely loyal Master God enshrined within your faction. However, you must promise to rarely deploy Him to the battlefield, granting Him the time to pursue His own research into the upper limits of agricultural development.]

After reading through the descriptions, Zhou Zhou’s brow twitched slightly, and he murmured to himself in bewilderment:

"I don’t recall a God of Agriculture named Hinon among the Ten Master Gods..."

"The God of Agriculture, Xinong, though a superior deity ranked above the main gods and himself a divinely ordained heavenly god, possesses combat strength that ranks among the lowest among all superior deities—far too weak to be included among the Top Ten Main Gods."

"Moreover, this God of Agriculture has remarkably low demands: merely a minimal presence on battlefields and sufficient time devoted to researching the limits of agricultural advancement is enough. There is absolutely no requirement for ascension to the rank of Supreme God."

As one who holds countless ancestral lineages, He naturally knows who the Top Ten Main Gods are.

They are—

The God of War, Teris!

The God of Machinery—Zero!

The God of Death, Thanatos!

The Goddess of Life, Cuitis!

The God of Wisdom, Totbolth!

The God of Light, Shiru!

The Primordial God—Source!

The First Dragon—Ji Zhuang!

The King of All Gods—Imperial Emperor!

The Chaotic Beast God—Heaven's Curse Beast!

Among them, there is no God of Agriculture—Shinon.

"Wait, indeed, the prefix of this Lord's Talent name does not contain 'Ten Sacred Blessings.'"

"Could it be that among the many Lord's Talents, apart from the Ten Gods series, there exist other Lord's Talents granted by divine blessings from other deities?"

Zhou Zhou formed a conjecture in his mind.

He mused for a moment, and felt certain his assumption was correct.

For previously, when he was reviewing the list of Lord's Talents among the Stellar Alliance Lords, he had indeed seen several Lord's Talents of the divine blessing type.

Yet their ranks were mostly black iron, bronze, silver—lacking even the slightest trace of golden-tier lordly potential. Combined with their abilities being quite unremarkable, Zhou Zhou instinctively overlooked them.

It wasn't until today, when he saw this Mythic-Class, Sole Lordly Talent, that he remembered.

Zhou Zhou didn't dwell on it. As he was about to leave the Cycle Holy Palace to recruit new soldiers, Natiya approached and delivered a message.

The Blood Moon child has returned!
