Chapter 1298: Departure

Chapter 1298: Departure

Then, the subordinate races' soldiers of the Titan God Clan were seen to grow increasingly weak in resolve, some even beginning to abandon the fight and retreat, surrendering to the side.

Yet the hundreds of billions of Titan God Clan soldiers showed not a single thought of surrender—they continued to fight with full force.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhan, despite being an enemy, could not help but silently admire it within his heart.

These soldiers of the Titan God Clan truly were excellent warriors!

At the same time,

The six primary deities—Tries and the others—did not idle after the fall of Dis. They immediately charged toward the remaining eight enemy primary deities.

Their first target was the chief deity of the Titan God Clan's affiliated race, the God-Wing Clan—the Six-Day Pyro-Winged Sovereign!

Upon seeing Tries advancing directly upon him, this foreign chief deity was instantly terrified, his heart and liver shattering with fear.

For he was merely a subordinate deity beneath a primary god, and even in the same tier, his combat strength paled in comparison to that of the Titan God Clan's own subordinate chief deities.

How could he possibly stand against the War God Tris, a deity who slaughters his masters as one would slaughter a dog?!

"Your Grace, I surrender!"

The Six-Day Pyro-Winged God Master immediately pleaded for mercy.

"By the Supreme Will, join the Sun Empire and become a divine vassal of the Sun Empire!"

War God Tris paused, speaking to him with quiet solemnity.

The Six-Day Pyro-Winged God Master instantly obeyed every word.

Only after Tris had finished speaking did his expression ease slightly, then he grew serious once more:

"Join us to confront the other gods!"

"Yes, Your Grace!"

The Six-Day Pyro-Winged God Master showed no reluctance in this decision.

After all, it was now a settled fact that the primary deity of the Titan race could no longer stand against the main deity of the Jiaoyang Empire.

He fought alongside Teris and his companions—only victory was possible.

All he needed to do moving forward was remain vigilant in battle, ensuring he did not accidentally perish.

Over the next six days, the Six-Heaven Wing Master followed Teris and his allies in their campaign against the other deities.

Their first target was the Master of Domination, the deputy chieftain of the Titan race.

"Domination," Teris said, "you cannot win against us. Surrender now."

"I have witnessed your prowess in battle—you show great potential. Perhaps one day you may ascend to the rank of Supreme Deity."

"Join us," he urged.

"The Titan race, under the guidance of the Emperor of the World, may yet forge an unprecedented era of glory."

"If you die at our hands, it would be a great waste,"

the Supreme Lord of the Domination Deity gazed upon them, after a long silence, stating, "The Titan God Clan has only fallen warriors among its supreme deities—no deity ever surrenders!"

And then,

he instantly raised his subordinate divine artifact, charging toward the War Supreme Deity.

"You go deal with the others."

"Leave this to me."

Tres addressed the other deities, including Cuiti, and then immediately engaged in battle with the Supreme Lord of Domination.

The others said nothing, merely turning away to face the other supreme deities.

Killing one supreme deity allows them to use the corpse to trade with Zhou for a divine artifact they need—something they had not forgotten.

Now was the perfect time to acquire divine artifacts!

A moment later.

Tries held the golden double axes, silently gazing upon the corpse of the Supreme Being of the Domination Cult.

He raised his hand, and a golden sigil appeared in his grasp. Then, the sigil spread over the body of the Supreme Being.

Under the glow of the golden sigil, the divine corpse of the Supreme Being emitted ever more brilliant golden light.

A moment later.

The entire body of the Supreme Being transformed into a radiant golden hue, resembling a statue forged from pure gold.

Then, the Supreme Being's fingers twitched slightly, and slowly, a pair of golden eyes opened.

He suddenly rose, bowing respectfully to Tries:

"Salutations, Lord."

"From this day forward, you shall be my fifteenth divine-grade unit—the Golden God-General!"

Tries spoke softly.

"Yes, my lord."

The Supreme God of Ba Jesi spoke calmly.

Tries nodded in satisfaction.

He felt quite pleased.

Having come all this way, he had unexpectedly encountered a promising candidate suitable for transformation into one of his nation-level military units.

Another great general under his command!

Though it meant missing out on a primary divine artifact, he didn't care.

Immediately afterward, he set off to fight other opposing supreme gods.

Zhou Sheng was no idle party either.

He saw no great enemy on the battlefield capable of threatening him, and so he simply invoked "The King," directly drawing upon the power of Xue Yue Zi, Jido Tatali, and the Six-Day Pyro-Plume God Sovereign.

The combined might of all the realms of these three subordinate divine beings, amplified into his very essence, fused with the forces of countless followers numbering in the millions, instantly propelled Zhou Sheng beyond the realm of subordinate deities, soaring into the mid-tier of sovereign divinity.

With his own sovereign artifact now fully attuned, even a typical upper-tier sovereign deity would find himself within reach—Zhou Sheng felt certain victory within his grasp.

As for the Ten Sovereigns themselves—if no ultimate divine card was deployed, Zhou Sheng still believed he could hold his own against them for two rounds.

Feeling this unwavering confidence, a smile bloomed across Zhou Sheng’s face.

Then, his gaze swept the battlefield, and swiftly settled upon a sovereign-tier Titan Sovereign. Instantly, he manifested as a streak of nine-colored light, rushing forward to engage in combat.

In less than a moment—

Zhou Sheng had slain his opponent.

And himself, unharmed.

At this very moment—

Teres and the other Primordial Gods all turned their gaze toward Zhou Sheng, sensing the divine tier radiating from him, and that faint, ever-present threat. On the surface, they said nothing, but within, each was struck with astonishment.

"Our future Emperor—so deeply concealed."

Teres' eyes held a profound meaning.

Who could have imagined that this god, exuding the aura of a mid-tier Primordial God, was in truth not even a true god, merely a mid-tier Supreme God?

With a power base at the mid-tier Primordial God level, coupled with the divine artifacts—primordial and even Supreme God-tier—offered in the mysterious auction.

At this very moment,

even Teres, the acknowledged leader among the Top Ten Primordial Gods, had to admit to himself that he did not possess absolute certainty in defeating this Lord of the People.

In fact, there was a significant chance he might lose.

Yet Teres did not care in the slightest. He was even pleased.

Strength is wonderful!

In this world, only strength grants value and worth to be followed!

"Emperor of the People."

"I accept you."

Tries whispered this to Zhou Sheng in his heart, then turned and went to fight the opposing Primordial Gods.

Half an hour later.

Among the remaining six Primordial Gods, four had fallen—only two alien Primordial Gods remained, who could neither fight nor flee, and thus were left with no choice but to surrender.

Tries and the other Primordial Gods brought the surrendered gods and their corpses before Zhou Sheng.

"Your Grace, the Emperor."

"Has the rule not changed yet?"

Tries smiled faintly.

"Of course it hasn't changed."

"One master god's corpse for one master artifact."

Zhou Sheng smiled.

Tries and the other master gods' eyes lit up instantly, and then they immediately produced their spoils.

Before them, Tries, Totbolth, Zero, and Cuithis each presented a master god-level corpse for trade. Blood Moon and Kido Talis, however, were left disappointed—neither had managed to acquire any corpses.

They simply couldn't.

After all, Tries and the others were too powerful.

They hadn't even had time to act before the battle ended.

Seeing the four master god corpses, Zhou Sheng didn't hesitate—he immediately handed over four master artifacts perfectly suited for each.

With the master artifacts in hand, Tries and the others' smiles grew even wider.

"The threat at the level of the Supreme God, we have already resolved for you."

"What remains should not require our assistance anymore."

"We are leaving."

Tries said.

"Thank you all."

Zhou Sheng nodded.

"This is a binding contract, Your Majesty, there is no need for formality."

Cuiti's smiled faintly, then turned with Tries and his companions and departed.

"Your Majesty."

Before leaving, Tries suddenly turned back to Zhou Sheng, "When will you be able to establish the Sun's Divine Realm?"

"It's almost over."

Zhou Sheng's face broke into a smile.

Tres had obtained the answer He sought, and with a joyful laugh, stepped forward to leave first.

The other primary deities of Cuiteris glanced at Zhou Sheng with warm, smiling eyes, and then departed one by one.
