Chapter 1318: 10 Jing Soldiers!

Chapter 1318: 10,000 Soldiers!

As for the fourth effect: easier mastery of skills, even skill techniques rooted in laws.

This benefit bears a striking resemblance to the previous talent effect—both serve to drastically reduce the number of skill books required, significantly boosting the combat power of the populace. Should one achieve mastery of law-based techniques, it would effectively grant access to a ticket toward the path of deities or higher divine realms. The possibility of ascending to deity status, or even to the higher echelons of true gods or supreme gods, becomes vastly more attainable.

The final effect—increasing the probability of achieving godhood, true godhood, or supreme godhood—naturally deserves no understatement. This single advantage would make even beings and deities themselves envious.

If Zhou Zhou were to publicly reveal this talent effect, countless deities would surely come to join his domain. The prerequisite, of course, would be that he is not afraid of enemies such as the Primordial Spirit Race.

"Perhaps it's worth attempting to make it public."

"Increase the probability of external deities aligning with me."

Zhou Zhou thought it over.

Then, without hesitation, he immediately conveyed this to Zheng Yuanqi, instructing him to spread the news throughout the Supreme Continent and across all realms of existence.

After that, Zhou Zhou closed the Lord's talent interface, stepped out of the palace, and arrived at the Pasture Valley.

At that moment, Wu Xin had already led his army into the Crimson Nest, hunting the monstrous nests within.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhou sat down beside Mugu to sip tea and chat casually.

A moment later,

a stream of golden light erupted from the Crimson Nest and descended to the ground, materializing into the form of Wu Xin.

"Your Majesty!"

At the sight of Zhou Zhou, Wu Xin bowed respectfully.

"General Wu Xin, you've been through a lot."

Zhou Zhou nodded, then asked with eager anticipation, "What did you gather?"

"Your Majesty, please look."

Wu Xin, his hands trembling slightly with excitement, gently presented three World Rings.

Zhou Zhou took them, immediately channeling his consciousness into the contents within.

Inside one of the rings lay an overwhelming quantity of Iron-Eating Bear pet eggs and Tree Heart gemstones.

In the other two rings, one contained 8,000 megabytes of the "Yellow Seal Army Recruitment Manual" and 8,000 megabytes of the "Storm Spirit Recruitment Manual," while the other housed 8,000 megabytes of the "Yellow Seal Army Promotion Certificate" and 8,000 megabytes of the "Storm Spirit Promotion Certificate!"

Zhou Zhou inhaled deeply, and despite himself, could not help but let a surge of excitement ripple across his face.

This was no less than 3.2 jin of soldiers!

He currently only had just over 7.4 jin of troops.

A single recruitment drive brought in more than half of His entire military force!

Once the recruitment was complete, His troops surged past ten jing!

Absolutely terrifying!

"This isn't even the limit of the Crimson Hive."

"This is merely a Crimson Hive ranked at the upper god level."

"It's unimaginable how vast the forces He would generate daily if the Crimson Hive were to ascend to the main god tier."

Zhou Zhou thought this to himself.

Then He turned to Wu Xin, saying:

"General Wu, as always, you go to the reserve recruits' camp, select 1.6 jing of reserve soldiers, and have them transition into Storm Spirits and Yellow Seal Soldiers. Then lead the Storm Spirits to advance into Curse Sorcerers."

"I will go to the Summoning Gate to recruit new troops."

Zhou Zhou said.

"I understand!"

Wu Xin nodded immediately.

These were 1.6 Jing recruits!

Just thinking about it, his heart surged with excitement!

"By the way, are our current reserve recruits sufficient?"

Zhou Zhou asked.

He truly feared that with so many promotion documents, his reserve troops might go unused.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty."

"If it were in the past, perhaps not."

"But since we have fully integrated the people of the Titan race and all their affiliated sub-races into our empire's citizenry, our officially recorded reserve troops have already reached hundreds of billions!"

"And this number continues to grow."

"Also, Your Majesty."

"The Skeleton race has been defeated by us. Now is precisely their most vulnerable moment."

"If we can fully subdue the Skeleton race and all their affiliated sub-races, and convert them entirely into citizens of our empire, our officially recorded reserve troops will at the very least reach tens of billions!"

Wu Xin smiled lightly, "Then we wouldn't have to worry about raising even 3.2 billions—32 billions, 320 billions, or even 3200 billions—any longer."

The Skeleton race is said to be one of the most populous among all races across the multiverse!

If we could bring them into the fold as citizens of the Yangyang Empire, then the Empire would never again face shortages in its military manpower.

"You're absolutely right."

"Then let our troops prepare accordingly!"

"In three days, conquer the entire skeleton race and make the skeleton race a subordinate species of our Yang Empire!"

Zhou Zhou said.

Wu Xin was right.

The main forces of the skeleton race have already been annihilated in the Activity Universe.

Within the vast cosmos, the skeleton race, stripped of its chief deities, now remains only with the single sovereign, the Emperor of Skeletons, to uphold it.

Now, it stands at its most vulnerable and most easily subjugated moment.

Across the multiverse, countless races may covet this high-blooded lineage.

And as the one who initiated all this, Zhou Zhou would naturally not hand his own creation over to others.

If the skeleton race was defeated by me, then its master—its true owner—can be none other than myself alone!"

As Wu Xin had said, the vast multitude of the Skeleton Clan, upon their submission, would become the most powerful and formidable source of troops for His future conquest of all the celestial and terrestrial races!

Such a temptation, Zhou Zhou could not possibly resist.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Wu Xin bowed respectfully.

Zhou Zhou nodded, then, without further delay, instantly transformed into a beam of golden light and departed from the divine realm.

Wu Xin, seeing this, swiftly left the Pasture Valley and headed toward the military camp where the reserve troops were stationed.

...

Before the Summoning Gate.

Zhou Zhou gazed at the towering and majestic Summoning Gate before him, and with a wave of his hand, he cast all 1.6 billion recruitment documents from his World Ring into the Summoning Gate.

Then, with practiced ease, he summoned a Cosmic Emperor-Class vessel, and tossed 100 upper-tier divine-grade god crystals into the gate, successfully summoning all 1.6 billion new recruits and placing them within the internal world of the Cosmic Emperor-Class vessel.

He simply spoke a few words to the new recruits, then instructed Zero to lead them to the Forbidden Spell God Statue for their transition into Forbidden Spellcasters.

Next, He spent 100 upper-tier god-grade divine crystals to summon today's new subjects.

The result? A total of 99,999,999 new subjects!

Among them were 12 upper-tier god-grade deities!

Zhou Zhou stared at this number, momentarily stunned.

How peculiar—just one short of reaching 100 million subjects.

He smiled lightly, dismissing it as mere coincidence, then spent another 100 upper-tier god-grade divine crystals to summon once more through the Summoning Gate: 666 billion, 666 million, and 6666 pure-blooded dragon races, who descended into the inner world of another Cosmic Emperor's vessel.

"Another batch of no legendary dragon races."

Zhou Zhou glanced at the over 60 billion pure-blooded dragons, shook his head, and felt a touch of regret.

But soon He stopped caring.

Gain is fortune; loss is fate.

Then He arrived before the Lord's Marketplace and glanced at the offerings of the day.

To His dismay, the Lord's Marketplace had only refreshed one Master Artifact and two True Artifacts today.

Such goods would surely excite any other Master God to see them.

Yet for Zhou Zhou, they stirred no emotion.

Still, He pulled out some Master God-level divine crystals and purchased the three items.

Then He summoned Chi Xuan Tian.

"Your Majesty!"

Chi Xuan Tian bowed respectfully upon arriving.

"Convene the army and prepare to march to the Chaos Wasteland!"

Zhou Zhou spoke in a low, resolute tone.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
