Chapter 1245: Mythic-Class · The Sole Sovereign's Talent – The First Treasure Vault! Alliance!

[Universal Announcement: The Monstrous Demon Emperor – Zhou Zhou has been born!]

Nine simple words, yet they left every race's power faction and sovereign group stunned into silence.

Universal Sovereign Channel.

"Monstrous Demon Emperor – Zhou Zhou? That name sounds strangely familiar."

"I'm not mistaken—wasn't Zhou Zhou the original human name of the Celestial People's Sovereign, the Celestial Sovereign of the Common People?"

"Why would the Monstrous Demon Emperor suddenly emerge? Based on the events of the past when the Base of Kido Tali was destroyed, Kido Tali should still be recovering in the Negative Energy Origin, reassembling his being and preparing for his return. How could he suddenly awaken like this?"

"Monstrous Demon Emperor – Zhou Zhou? Not Kido Tali? It seems the internal structure of the Monstrous Demon Clan has changed."

"I just confirmed one thing—Zhou Zhou is indeed the original human name of the Celestial Sovereign of the Common People. That means the Sovereign Entity just declared as the Monstrous Demon Emperor is none other than the Celestial Sovereign himself!"

"Is that so? The Celestial Sovereign has attained the status of Emperor within the Monstrous Demon Clan? Oh my—this situation suddenly feels far more intriguing."

"If—yes, if—Master of the People's Sovereignty truly becomes the Supreme Lord, wouldn't we then be bound to obey the commands of some monstrous demon?"

"@Light Spirit@Land of Justice@Slayer of Demons... Our old adversary has appeared. Time to step in and do our duty!"

"Light Spirit: The Supreme Will will never permit a being from the Monstrous Demon Clan to hold the position of Supreme Lord. Lord Yangyang's apparent rise to such a prestigious status is merely a façade—his losses will be far greater than his gains."

"Really? So no one from the Monstrous Demon Clan can even compete for the title of Supreme Lord?"

"Then Lord Yangyang must be left utterly stunned! Hahahaha..."

"Not everything can be claimed, hahahaha."

"Um... I don't want to contradict you, but I must say one thing—perhaps the Monstrous Demon Clan is indeed capable of competing for the title of Supreme Lord. Recently, I had the chance to meet a Grand Lord from that clan. Though he's quite temperamental, there's no doubt he belongs to the Monstrous Demon Clan."

"@Light Spirit, whom should we trust? Are you absolutely certain what you've said is true?"

...

The Grand Lords of the Light Spirit Clan fell silent.

They too found it hard to believe.

The Abomination Demon race was a species whose very purpose was to spread terror and bring about annihilation. Why, then, would the Supreme Will choose such a race to become a Sovereign Lord of the myriad realms, entering the fierce competition among the Sovereign Lords?

At the same time,

the underlying racial powers behind the Sovereign Lords, upon reading this announcement of the myriad realms, could not help but fall into deep contemplation.

Especially the ancient, elite-blooded races—those whose existence stretched back into the unknown ages—began to envy Zhou Zhou’s fortune.

Having existed for countless eons, they naturally knew the hidden truths about the Abomination Demon race.

For instance, though outwardly they were symbols of destruction and fear, in truth, they served as the "health monitors" of both the Supreme Cosmos and the Crimson Cosmos. Even the Supreme Will and the Crimson Sovereign, two beings of ultimate existence, stood behind this race as protectors.

Because of this, although all these ancient races possessed the strength to suppress the Abomination Demons, they never went too far in doing so. They would kill some, let others live—always wary of offending the Supreme Will or the Crimson Sovereign.

Now that Zhou Zhou had become the Emperor of the Abomination Demons, the unique status of the Abomination Demon race had been shared with him, even taking on a significant portion of it.

The Emperor of the Common People had always been highly valued by the Supreme Will. Now, with this new title, his standing in the eyes of the Supreme Will may become even more unshakable.

Even at the Red Sovereign's side, He would be held in greater esteem.

"Now that the Sovereign of the People possesses a Master-Class combat power, is protected by the Ten Master Sovereigns, and is favored by the Supreme Will,"

"It is clearly impossible to confront Him directly under these circumstances."

"To defeat the Sovereign of the People and prevent Him from claiming the title of Supreme Overlord, there is only one course of action."

"To defeat Him directly within the Supreme Will's Universal Sovereigns' Competition!"

Numerous peak-tier beings across the multiverses, communicating through divine consciousness across infinite distances, arrived at this conclusion that left them feeling deeply frustrated.

Used to crushing enemies through the might of their entire species, they had long been unused to such a humiliating situation.

They had to admit one truth.

That due to the Sovereign of the People's sheer strength, they were now forced to compete with Him on equal footing.

Equal footing?

This term, for beings accustomed to wielding the privileges of the strong, had long been untouched.

At this moment,

a colossal divine consciousness forcibly intruded into the shared thoughts of all the powerful.

"Greetings, all."

As soon as this consciousness echoed through the minds of every deity, each instantly recognized its source.

The current chieftain of the Primordial Spirit Clan, one of the Ten Great Deities, the Primordial Great Deity—Origin!

"Respectfully, Your Highness, the Primordial Great Deity!"

"Respectfully, Master Origin!"

The deities spoke with a mixture of reverence, fear, or excitement.

The Primordial Great Deity replied simply:

"The true Lord of our lineage has finally admitted that, alone, he cannot overcome the Celestial Emperor Sovereign."

"Perhaps we could attempt to unite."

"To jointly restrain the Celestial Emperor Sovereign and deprive him of the chance to claim the supreme lordship."

The divine spirits silently mused—indeed.

The Celestial Emperor Sovereign's might had finally stirred this one to action.

Yet no one expected the True Lord to openly confess his inability to prevail against him.

That being, the First Lord of the Primordial Spirit Clan, had always been powerful, resolute, and unwilling to yield—so for him to admit such a thing revealed just how immense the pressure exerted by the Celestial Emperor Sovereign truly was.

In the brief span of moments, the divine beings had already conceived numerous strategies.

Then, with perfect harmony, they remained silent—none spoke a word.

The Primordial Supreme God—Yuan Jian—snorted coldly.

A group of hunters who won't let go of the rabbit until they've caught it.

He spoke calmly:

"I can promise you all that, should you join forces with our Primordial Spirit Clan and work together to suppress the Celestial Sovereign, stripping him of his eligibility to claim the supreme dominion, I shall open the Primordial Treasury of our clan and bestow upon each of you one of its treasures."

"Really?!?"

At the words, the divine spirits' eyes flared with feverish excitement.

That was the Primordial Treasury of the Primordial Spirit Clan!

One of the most legendary treasure vaults across infinite realms!

It was said that within it, true godly artifacts were merely the lowest tier, while main godly relics were truly precious—indeed, the vault housed relics of the highest divine rank, accumulated since the clan’s very inception. Even the most exalted of gods had coveted those supreme divine artifacts.

How rare and invaluable the treasures within the Primordial Treasury truly were!

If they could obtain even a single artifact from it—no matter how lowly, a true godly one—such a prize would vastly elevate their power.

"If the Celestial Emperor Sovereign has no clear understanding of where he should stand, then as elders, we ought to teach him precisely how to act."

"A ruler born of a weak human lineage, daring to aspire to the status of Supreme Sovereign? Pure delusion! Rest assured, Source Lord, we will show him what true power of a primordial bloodline truly means."

"Previously, the Celestial Emperor Sovereign gained such widespread renown only because he was shielded by the protection of the Supreme Will, and because we did not take him seriously. From now on, we will no longer be lenient. Together, we will ensure that he will never touch the throne of Supreme Sovereign. Such a being—only a race born of innate, divine strength like ours—can truly possess it!"

...

The divine spirits, no longer silent as before, each struck their chests and solemnly pledged their loyalty to the Primordial Supreme God.

Satisfied, the Primordial Supreme God nodded.

In his mind, the image of the Celestial Emperor Sovereign flickered—his heart grew colder and colder.

Whether you ascended to this height through sheer strength and intellect,

or whether you were chosen by the Supreme Will as the destined child, granted every step a smooth path—

what we, the Primordial Spirit Race, desire, must be ours alone."

It must be mine!

And the War Primordial, the Wisdom Primordial, and the Mechanism Primordial...

Those three have already aligned themselves with His side.

Is it because of the Ten Sacred Guardians' innate talents?

Source thought within.

No other possibility could explain how three of the Top Ten Primordials could converge upon a single lord at this stage.

This World Sovereign Primordial possesses at least three Mythic-Level, Unique Lord Talents!

A terrifying master of lordly talents!

That is why he could walk the path of the Lord's Law, and even attain the rank of Sovereign Primordial!

As he imagined the Sovereign Primordial rank held by the other, a flicker of envy stirred uncontrollably in his eyes.

Imperial Sovereign Status!

And even more remarkably, a status born from the very beginning of the path of the divine—directly forged upon the path of the Sovereign of Lords—this is the primordial Imperial Sovereign Status!

Even for such an existence, deep within its essence, there lies an insatiable yearning to attain it. For at this level of being, it is unequivocally known that one vital key to surpassing the bottleneck of the Supreme God and ascending to the status of the Highest God Sovereign is the comprehension of the Sovereign of Lords' Law and the attainment of the Imperial Sovereign Status.

The Imperial Sovereign of the People has, from the very first step on the path of divinity, already possessed one of the qualifications required to become the Supreme God.

Even higher-tier beings of will, as the primordial Imperial Sovereign, hold a minuscule chance of achieving such a status.

Yet those who have not yet grasped the Law of the Sovereign of Lords must instead elevate their own acquired laws through post-natal refinement, ascending to the rank of the Sovereign of Lords, thereby achieving the post-natal Imperial Sovereign Status—only then is there a slim possibility of attaining the position of Supreme God.

Such post-natal Imperial Sovereigns, achieving the Supreme God status through such a minuscule probability, represent the absolute pinnacle. They are utterly incapable of progressing further to become beings of will.

But there exists one other possibility—through which a post-natal Imperial Sovereign may effortlessly ascend to the rank of Supreme God, or even reach the level of a being of will!

That possibility is being elevated and guided by the Supreme Sovereign of Lords.

The status of the Supreme Lord rivals even surpasses the Supreme Will—indeed, in certain circumstances, it stands above it!

Such a being, once it speaks, commands reality; with a single utterance, it effortlessly creates entities of Supreme Deity rank, and crafting Will-beings with a little effort is no great feat.

This is precisely why the Ten Primordial God-Beings chose to weave their power into the innate gifts of Lords.

They sought to forge and encounter Supreme Lords through this method—so that, once these Lords matured, they would naturally, in gratitude, pledge themselves to achieve Supreme Deity status, even ascending further to Will-Beings.

After that, the Primordial God—Source—said nothing more. He simply set the time for collaboration and mutual strategy against the Emperor of the World, then departed.

Following Source’s departure, the gods exchanged a few moments of divine thought, then each returned to their own preparations.

Speaking of which—

In the capital city of the God Realm of Kidoke—

Zhou Zhou stared in surprise at the multiversal announcement appearing before him.

"I have become the Emperor of Monstrous Demons? Is this truly worthy of a special announcement?"

"How does this feel a bit like the world boss in a game has appeared, followed by a broadcast to all players?"

"Will there be a swarm of people, all eager to hunt me as this 'world boss,' coming in to attack me next?"

He couldn't help but mutter that.

But soon, he dismissed the thought.

With His current master god-level power, bolstered by the protection of the three great and ten foremost master gods,

as long as the Supreme God and any stronger beings remained absent,

Zhou Zhou couldn't conceive of anyone in the myriad realms who could harm Him.

"Don't get overconfident."

He whispered a warning to himself.

Then, with a mere thought,

a golden, ethereal cube materialized in His palm.

The surface of this illusory cube radiates a hazy golden gas, resembling golden sand, etched with enigmatic runes that appear both opulent and mesmerizing.

Then, Zhou Zhou transferred every treasure stored within his World Ring into this golden cube.

This golden cube—exactly what he had awakened yesterday through a full night of cultivating his Supreme Holy Body—was the mythical-tier, unique Lord's talent known as the "First Treasury!"

Its original prototype was the transcendent-tier Lord's talent—the "King's Treasure Chest!"

After being elevated by the Supreme Holy Body, it had evolved into the mythic-tier, unique Lord's talent—the "First Treasury!"

Zhou Zhou gazed upon this ethereal golden cube.

A textual prompt appeared.
