Chapter 1266: Profound God Breakthrough Pill!

Chapter 1266: The Divine Spirit That Breaks Forbidden Limits!

Zhou Zhou stared at the purple satchel that appeared before him out of nowhere.

The satchel was the size of a palm, its surface etched with intricate patterns, beautiful and profoundly mysterious.

He reached out and took it, opening it to find a single pill resting quietly inside.

"Medicine?"

Zhou Zhou paused, startled.

According to the earlier hint, the mysterious items always provided treasures essential to a lord. Since he hadn't been injured or in any dire situation, why would they be giving him a pill?

Yet, as he read the information on the pill, his face instantly froze—then erupted into ecstatic joy.

[Item Name: Divine Spirit That Breaks Forbidden Limits]

[Item Rank: Subordinate of the Supreme God]

[Item Effect: When a god of upper-tier divine rank absorbs this, the lord will instantly break through his current limitations, ascend to the rank of lower-tier true god, and master a unique divine technique aligned with his own path of law!]

[Item Description: A high-tier divine pill forged personally by the Creator of the Supreme God. It enables deities to transcend all limitations and become true gods, while granting them the ability to master a divine technique from any path of law.]

"To master a divine technique from any path of law."

"That means, even if I follow the rarest and most elusive lord's path of law, I can still master a lord's divine technique."

Zhou Zhou's eyes blazed with extraordinary intensity.

After all, this was a lord's divine technique.

Even with countless fortunate encounters, he had only mastered two lord's divine techniques so far. The third remained merely a fragment of understanding—still far from complete mastery.

This clearly demonstrated the unparalleled rarity of lord's divine techniques!

He never expected that this divine pill, the "Xuan Shen Po Jin Dan," would not only allow him to ascend to the rank of lower-tier true god, but also grant him the ability to master a lord's divine technique.

Compared to that, the mere promotion to lower-tier true god seemed almost insignificant.

"This treasure—indeed, it is the very thing I most need right now."

Zhou Zhou cracked a smile, revealing his teeth.

Then, with solemnity, he placed this treasure into his first-tier vault.

He was currently at the mid-level of Upper God, still unable to transcend to the upper level of Upper God. At present, he could not use this God-Forbidden Pill.

He would save it for when he reached the upper level of Upper God.

Only then would he turn his gaze to the other ordinary items.

Star-shattering cannons, basic solar energy shields, Qingniao-class vessels, potential promotion elixirs, Space Walker occupation certificates, and Star Knight occupation certificates—Zhou Zhou glanced at them briefly and simply dismissed them.

His eyes, however, were fixed on the one singular nation-level troop: the Cosmic Legend Occupation Certificate.

"A nation-tier troop trained in the fundamental cosmic laws of cultivation."

"Endowed with an impossibly powerful body and a mind-force strength rivaling that of the entire cosmos."

"Capable of both offense and defense."

"Not to be outdone—this is truly a divine-empire-tier unit."

Zhou Zhou sighed with admiration.

The only regret was that such a divine-empire-tier unit could not be widely deployed. Otherwise, he would have gladly replaced his current elite—either the forbidden spellcasters or the yellow-scroll warriors.

Though these imperial-tier units were formidable, even capable of matching weaker divine-empire-tier forces, they were still not true divine-empire-tier units.

Faced with ever more powerful adversaries, they would inevitably be phased out at some point.

As for the newly acquired divine-empire-tier unit—the Holy Dragon Knight—he could not scale it up across his vast army of nearly forty quadrillion soldiers, due to both the lengthy training period and the limited number of dragon races.

Currently, the number of Holy Dragon Knights under his command remained under one billion.

That number, for an imperial-tier force, was already beyond anything conceivable—unparalleled, invincible.

But facing a dominion-level lord faction, the results were still rather mediocre.

"I need monsters that drop dominion-level unit promotion certificates or dominion-level unit recruitment documents."

"As soon as I find such monsters and introduce them into the Crimson Mother Nest, I'll quickly assemble an army of dominion-level units capable of endless expansion."

Zhou Zhou murmured to himself.

Then, after a moment's thought, he simply issued a bounty notice across the Supreme Continent and throughout the entire multiverse.

A bounty for any mist monster that drops dominion-level unit promotion certificates or dominion-level unit recruitment documents.

He had no intention of hiding his intentions.

With his current strength and influence, there was no need for secrecy.

What he wanted—he simply stated it plainly.

Any faction secretly obstructing him?

It's just finished!

The era of timid, hesitant development has passed.

Now belongs to Zhou Zhou's age—the era of direct confrontation!

What you desire? Either buy it, or go to war.

This is the most direct path to acquisition.

Throwing the cosmic legend's class certification into the military merit exchange system, Zhou Zhou casually glanced at the hidden lord shop on Day 1.

And what he saw stunned him.

[Hidden Lord Shop]

[Day 1:]

[Limited-time items:]

[??? (Quantity: Unique): Unknown — Price: ???]

[Note: This item will be listed in the shop five days from now. Lords wishing to purchase it should prepare sufficient Hidden Lord Shop Points before it goes live.]

[Day 1 Item]

[To be refreshed...]

"An item of a magnitude like the Morning Star will be refreshed again in five days?"

Zhou Zhou slightly raised an eyebrow. "This must be the Supreme Will's deliberate strategy to incite us into constant warfare—so that we fight more frequently, accumulating more Hidden Lord Shop Points, enabling us to redeem the item at the right moment."

"A masterstroke."

He mused, then grew serious, murmuring to himself, "It seems we must give it our all over the next five days, gathering as many Hidden Lord Shop Points as possible."

Yet he had already considered this plan, so his heart remained calm and unshaken.

Then he sent for Mu Gu, Zheng Fugui, and Caro Moira.

"Have you seen the Emperor?"

As soon as the three arrived, they bowed respectfully.

"Now my domain has been elevated to lower-tier upper god status. Tell me about your respective advancements."

Zhou Zhou said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

They bowed in unison.

Then, Mu Gu spoke first:

"Your Majesty, the rank of the crimson nest where I currently serve has advanced from upper-tier mid-god to lower-tier upper god."

"The number of fog mothers spawned from this lower-tier upper god crimson nest has increased from originally 200,000 to 300,000."

"Each fog mother's fog world can now cultivate 1 billion fog monsters."

"300,000 fog mothers can collectively cultivate 300 trillion fog monsters."

"Additionally, the quality and efficiency of my breeding of high-grade crimson offspring have been significantly improved."

"Currently, I can produce one lower-tier crimson deity at the level of a true god per day, or ten upper-tier crimson deities at the level above a true god, or one hundred mid-tier crimson deities, and one thousand lower-tier crimson deities."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhou's brow slightly arched.

Indeed!

The crimson nest now ranked as a lower-tier upper god has already begun cultivating crimson deities.

This is truly a lower-tier upper god nest—no longer merely a lower-tier true god nest.

One cannot help but wonder what the scene will be like when the crimson nest eventually ascends to the level of a true god nest.

Yet, though the prospect is alluring, Zhou Zhou, who currently has no shortage of true gods, still holds no intention of cultivating crimson deities.

Instead, he will focus entirely on nurturing ordinary fog monsters, continuously producing recruitment documents and promotion certificates.
