Chapter 1280: Immortal Realm Will! Heavenly Realm Will! Final Will!

Chapter 1280: The Immortal Realm's Will! The Celestial Realm's Will! The Final Will!

Just as the other Primordial Gods were about to ask further questions,

a terrifying pressure suddenly descended!

Even though Zhou Zhou was immersed in a dream at that moment, he could still feel the crushing weight—like the entire universe collapsing into itself.

And beyond the pressure, Zhou Zhou sensed an overwhelming force of will, pressing down upon him like a tide.

Already standing at the brink of the next tier of willful existence, Zhou Zhou instantly recognized the terrifying magnitude of this force—something beyond description.

Will Manifested as Divinity!

If will is like light, then a being can live on eternally, even after losing their body and soul, sustained solely by the form of will-light.

No matter how powerful the laws of existence may be, will would never be harmed by them, nor could it be destroyed by them.

This is precisely why beings of will are stronger than mere gods.

Because will, supersedes law!

Compared to will, the existence of laws is to willful practitioners as a flower in water, a moon in a mirror.

To those who cultivate will, the presence of laws is merely a fleeting illusion—easily pierced by the sheer force of their own will.

The eternal and unbroken nature of will exists precisely because the laws of the world cannot touch or bind it.

Let alone the two fundamental laws of life and death.

Beyond life and death, beyond laws, beyond all things, beyond all existence—only will endures!

This is what it means to be a being of will!

A will as light can remain eternal.

Thus, the realm of will manifesting as divinity is the further evolution of that eternal will—granting such beings the power to manipulate reality with divine mastery.

Altering reality, traversing the ancient and the modern, turning falsehoods into truth...

So long as my will desires it, the world transforms according to that very intent!

Like an omnipotent, all-powerful deity!

This is the realm of the Will Becoming Divine!

In truth, at this juncture, the power of Dictating the Law bears a striking resemblance to It.

Yet the core of Dictating the Law rests upon its dependence on the environmental laws.

If the surrounding laws of the world fail or shift, then the command of the law likewise loses its vigor.

Much like how 'the imperial sword of a former dynasty cannot strike down an official of the present regime.'

But the ability of a cultivator of the will to interfere with reality springs entirely from Their own mind.

This is the equivalent of Dictating the Law without ever relying on external things!

Whoever your official rank may be, I say you die, and you shall die!

These two appear superficially similar, yet in essence they are utterly different.

Their power differs like heaven and earth—purely a dimensionally superior assault!

...

"Is this the arrival of some supreme deity?"

Zhou Zhou felt the overwhelming pressure, his mind instantly struck by awe.

At that moment,

a voice echoed.

"Greetings, the Supreme Deity of Jiguang has descended..."

The words were still uncompleted.

Another terrifying will descended.

This will was even a thousandfold, ten thousandfold more terrifying than the one before!

And with it, a supreme aura of absolute sovereignty!

Zhou Zhou felt this even more terrifying will, and in his mind, only one thought remained.

"This aura of absolute sovereignty...

The Presence of the Supreme Will has arrived!"

He murmured softly.

The Supreme Will!

The third realm beyond the Will-Transcendent stage!

Such beings have transcended all things, existing forever solely through their will!

The laws and paths of glory that deities take pride in—were to them, no more than childhood toys.

They were no longer deities. They were beings far superior to deities, even beings existing in higher dimensions!

The Abyssal Will, the Immortal Realm's Will, the Underworld's Will, the Yellow Springs' Will, the Heavenly Realm's Will...

These willful entities are all masters of the Supreme Will.

Even inscribed in Zhou Zhou's bloodline heritage, the Supreme Will and the Crimson Sovereign are themselves beings of this very realm.

Yet, on this path of Supreme Will, they surpassed all other willful beings by an immense margin—thus, countless willful entities revere these two as their masters.

And just then—

A figure clad in a robe of stars suddenly appeared in the sky above the auction hall.

It was the mysterious merchant guild's head.

He bowed respectfully to the heavens and smiled:

"Welcome the descent of the Celestial Realm's will."

"Shang, there's no need for such formality."

"I have come to carry forward the will of the Underworld."

A solemn voice echoed from the heavens.

"Then, please, take your seat."

The mysterious head of the Trading Guild gestured distantly, and moments later, a realm of ethereal beauty emerged in the distance—its air shimmering with celestial energy.

In the next instant,

a figure clad in a long robe of white with golden trim descended and settled into the central seat.

The chief deities longed to glimpse the true form of this enigmatic being.

Yet...

Zhou Zhou saw the other as a being of human Dao Master.

The Wanan race saw him as a being of spiritual lineage, a Spirit Sovereign.

The Goblin race saw him as a Goblin Primordial God.

The Elf race saw him as a Mother Tree of Elves.

...

Among the over one thousand bidders present, each one, upon gazing upon the Will of the Immortal Realm, instinctively merged their innermost image—of the most majestic, most revered, and most familiar form.

They grew more entranced, more entrapped, with every glance.

Even Zhou Zhou was no exception.

Fortunately, the Will of the Immortal Realm showed no intention of deceiving the divine beings present. Soon, all the gods and spirits regained their clarity.

Then came a wave of dread.

That feeling just now of one's life and death being entirely out of one's own hands was far too terrifying for these deities who had always stood high above the rest of creation.

Zhou Zhou was likewise deeply shaken.

How long had it been since he last felt this sensation of losing all self-control?!

His own willpower had already approached the boundary of turning will into divinity, yet a single glance from the other party had still caused him to fall completely captive to it.

Just how terrifying must the other party's level of willpower be?!

He immediately lowered his head, not daring to look any further.

Right at that moment.

Yet another willpower, one not in the least inferior to that of the Celestial Realm, descended upon them.

"Welcome the descent of the Heaven Realm's Will!"

The voice of the Mysterious Chamber of Commerce's president echoed above Zhou Zhou's head.

"You are far too polite, old friend."

The Will of the Heavens chuckled warmly.

With that, He took His seat within the exclusive world created for Him by the President of the Mysterious Chamber of Commerce.

As the words echoed, fragments of information regarding the Will of the Heavens surfaced in Zhou Zhou’s mind.

The Will of the Heavens—the absolute manifestation of the celestial realm's consciousness!

Within His domain, the Angel Race comprised the primary populace.

Moreover, the Lord of Light, one of the ten Great Master Gods, originally hailed from the Will of the Heavens.

Zhou Zhou also knew that the Will of the Heavens and the Will of the Immortal Realm stood in stark opposition to one another.

The exact reason for this remained a mystery.

Yet, between them, war had raged for countless eons.

Countless creatures of both the immortal and heavenly realms perished in the slaughter.

Even where no enmity had existed, blood now bred bitter hatred.

Right at that moment.

Yet another supreme will descended upon the realm.

The President of the Mysterious Chamber of Commerce spoke, his tone turning visibly startled as he recognized the newcomer.

"Lord Finality, what brings you here as well?!"

"Am I forbidden from coming?"

The Will of Finality countered with a question.

Zhou Zhou listened to the voice, feeling as though the speaker were nothing more than a girl with a cold, indifferent demeanor.

"How could that be? Your Crownship is welcome at any time."

The enigmatic head of the Secret Guild chuckled nervously, hastily arranging a battlefield setting for the other to take their seat.

At that very moment.

Zhou Zhou, who had been desperately trying to remain silent and feigning death within his own private chamber, suddenly felt a gaze directed squarely upon him.

Zhou Zhou's heart leapt into alarm, yet on the surface, he made no sign of disturbance.

Yet within his mind, a cascade of thoughts surged.

Whose gaze had just come through?

The will of the Immortal Realm?

The will of the Celestial Realm?

Or perhaps—lastly—the Will of the End?

End?

Then another thought surfaced in Zhou Zhou's mind.

Did this Endless Will elder have any connection—perhaps even a link—to his own Endless Lord occupation, or to the Endless Battlefield missions he'd undertaken back then?
