Chapter 1321: Zhou Sheng's Demand

With the aid of the Zhaotian Huo Supreme Deity, the hunting squad of the Chaos Clan that had been encircling the Chaos Wasteland swiftly surrendered to Zhou Sheng and all joined the Jiaoyang Empire.

Zhou Sheng and his generals could not have imagined it.

The greatest obstacle they had anticipated—preventing the Chaos Clan from rescuing the Chaos Human race—their hunting squad, had surrendered so easily.

They had believed that at the very least, they would have to engage in combat with them before they would finally realize the truth and surrender.

One could only say that this was the advantage of sheer strength.

With sufficient power, even without direct confrontation, one could break the will of others and achieve victory without a single battle.

Among the generals, the one most shaken was Ying Ning.

As a Chaos Human who had escaped from the Chaos Wasteland, he understood better than anyone else just how terrifying the Chaos Beasts, stationed there to hunt Chaos Humans, truly were.

Yet, faced with the might of His Majesty, such a fearsome force had surrendered so quickly?!!

"I have made the right choice by joining your service."

"Among the myriad realms, only you, O Sovereign, can save them—the Chaotic Human Race!"

This thought stirred deep within his heart.

At the same time, the gaze he cast upon Zhou Zhou shimmered with radiant brilliance, carrying a tenderness he himself had not fully recognized.

"Report to the Sovereign: all Chaotic God Clans have gathered here."

"Besides myself, there are 132 True Gods of the Chaotic God Clan and 3,521 Deities of the Chaotic God Clan."

Chao Tian Huo spoke respectfully.

"Hmph."

"You Chaotic God Clan truly place great importance upon the Chaotic Human Race."

Zhou Sheng, upon hearing this, could not help but exclaim in astonishment.

Chao Tian Kuo sneered a quiet smile, unwilling to speak further.

He naturally also perceived that his own sovereign carried the bloodline of the Chaotic Human Clan within him, and thus dared not utter a single word of disapproval about the Chaotic Human Clan before the Emperor.

Zhou Sheng didn’t take it seriously, and instead turned to Ying Ning and said:

“Take us to the settlement of the Chaotic Human Clan.”

“I have something urgent to discuss with the chief of the Chaotic Human Clan; I’d like him to assist me.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Ying Ning bowed respectfully.

Then he saw him slice open the flesh of his arm, drawing forth the chaotic-colored blood, and using this blood to perform a hidden ritual. Instantly, the chaotic-colored blood surged violently, evaporating into countless blood-streaked vapors, which eventually coalesced into a blood-red mist thread, stretching deep into the heart of the Chaotic Wasteland.

“So it requires a bloodline ritual to locate the secret settlement of the Chaotic Human Clan.”

“Then it’s no wonder we couldn’t find it before.”

Chao Tian Luo, observing the scene from behind, muttered under his breath.

Upon hearing this, the others gave him a withering look.

Then, Zhou Sheng and the others followed the blood-hued mist line onward, eventually arriving before a phantom gateway radiating a chaotic, dim glow.

Ying Ning pushed open the door, and suddenly a wave of silver light burst forth, bathing the soldiers in its brilliance.

Then, an odd sensation of spatial distortion began to ripple around Zhou Sheng and his companions.

They did not resist—instead, they felt the world before them go dark.

When the light returned, they found themselves standing upon a vast continent, where towering trees stretched into the wild, untamed air.

"Come with me!"

Just back in his homeland, Ying Ning's expression grew excited and nervous.

As soon as he spoke, he surged forward, transforming into a streak of light and racing toward the southeast of the land.

Zhou Sheng saw this and followed them as well.

Soon enough,

they arrived before a tribe.

The tribe was extremely primitive, with two towering, muscular men standing guard at the entrance.

Zhou Zhou glanced around and immediately recognized them—indeed, they were the Chaotic Human Clan!

Their power level was lower-tier subordinates of lower deities!

"Wu Qi, Ge Luo!"

"I'm back!"

Ying Ning saw these two and couldn't help but rush forward with excitement.

"It's Yingning!"

"Yingning has returned!"

When Wugqi and Ge Luo saw Yingning, they first froze in surprise, then burst into excitement.

Yingning was the daughter of the chieftain of their Chaotic Human Clan, so most of the people within the clan knew her well.

...

A moment later.

In the central dwelling of the Chaotic Tribe, Zhou Sheng sat across from the chieftain of the Chaotic Human Clan—Chao Tong Zong. To Zhou Sheng's left sat Pan Gu and others; to his right stood the warriors of the Chaotic Tribe.

Zhou Sheng glanced briefly at these warriors of the Chaotic Tribe.

The weakest among them were still at the lower-tier level of lower gods, while the strongest reached the mid-level of true gods.

Very good.

But in His eyes, it was still not enough.

"Your mission, Chief Elder, should already be clear."

"I shall reiterate it plainly."

"I can take you all away from here and allow you to live within my empire. I can guarantee that, as long as you become my subjects, the Chaos God Clan will never again harm you in any way. You may live freely and openly upon the Supreme Continent, no longer having to flee from one corner to another as you did in the Chaos Wastes."

"If the Chief Elder refuses, there is no issue—but I wish to purchase some Chaos Magic Stones. I can pay for them in Divine Crystals or Divine Artifacts."

"I hope the Chief Elder will grant me this favor."

Zhou Sheng spoke slowly.

The Chief Elder of the Chaos Veil glanced at Zhou Sheng, then at the others beside him—Panggu, Xueyuezi, and Kidotali—his face flickering with a wry, bitter smile.

With such a display of power, did they still have any choice at all?

On their side, there were no fewer than three supreme deity-level warriors.

And there was also a lord whose true strength was unknown, yet who posed an overwhelming sense of danger to Him.

As for the Chaotic Human Clan, after the fall of the Chaotic Will, their own supreme deity-level warriors had all perished. Now, the remnants of the Chaotic Human Clan stationed here in the Chaotic Wasteland—only Him, a true deity-level Chaotic Human, remained as their strongest among them.

The gap in peak combat power between the two sides was nothing short of colossal.

With this in mind, Chaotic Lu stood up and bowed sincerely to Zhou Zhou, saying:

"The Chaotic Human Clan is willing to join Your Majesty's empire and become one of Your Majesty's subjects."

"I have no further demands—only that Your Majesty treat our members of the Chaotic Human Clan with kindness and fairness."

"That is certainly within our bounds."

Zhou Sheng nodded seriously.

They were all members of his own lineage, and even relatives from the old homeland of Yingning—how could he possibly neglect them?

Seeing Zhou Sheng nod, the Chaos Loom exhaled in relief.

"Thank you, Emperor!"

He said with reverence.

The Chaos human tribes surrounding them, who had been watching the scene, now felt bewildered.

How had it happened so quickly—now they were the subjects of the other, and the other had become their lord above them?

But they quickly recovered, and immediately bowed respectfully to Zhou Zhou:

"Emperor, we bow before you!"

"We are all kin now."

"The Emperor will treat you well in the future."

Zhou Sheng smiled, then continued:

"By the way."

"The Chaos God Clan stationed at the periphery of the Chaotic Wasteland has been defeated and subjugated by us. You may now leave this place, no longer fearing any danger."

"Really?!"

At the sound of this, the Chaos Dusk Ones leapt to their feet, filled with sudden and overwhelming joy.
