Chapter 1335: Transcendent Upper Level Potential! 36 Main Gods! Fifteen Jing Soldiers!

Chapter 1335: Extraordinary Potential of Supreme Rank! 36 Supreme Deities! Fifteen Capital Soldiers!

The anomaly in the starry sky persisted for nearly half an hour before gradually fading.

Then, two streaks of light swiftly emerged from the Palace of Cycles and immediately soared into the divine realm, arriving before Zhou Zhou.

"Lord of the Military Formation, Bai Yun, bowing to the Emperor!"

"Divine Master of the Heavenly Sword, Chixuan Tian, bowing to the Emperor!"

Bai Yun and Chixuan Tian spoke with respectful and eager tones.

"Congratulations on attaining the rank of Supreme Deity!"

"With your presence, our Empire will surely grow stronger like a tiger enhanced by a lion's strength!"

Zhou Zhou smiled warmly.

Bai Yun and Chixuan Tian smiled in return, yet neither showed any sense of arrogance.

Now the number of primary deities in the Prajya Empire has surpassed double digits, not to mention the four major deities and His own sovereign—ranked as the first true god beneath the Supreme God. They cannot help but feel utterly unqualified to boast of anything.

Of course.

Pride naturally stirred within them. After all, achieving the status of a primary deity—a clan-defining powerhouse—was no small feat in an environment where supreme gods and even greater beings rarely appeared. In such a world, they could rightly claim to be among the very apex of strength!

Figures like Chi Xuan Tian had even earned the title of Sage within the immortal civilization, revered and honored by countless races. Who wouldn’t feel pride?

As for Zhou Zhou, after sensing the subtle shifts in the potential of his people, a gentle smile flickered across his face.

For he had clearly perceived that, within the Prajya Empire, the baseline human potential had now reached the upper tier of the Transcendent level!

"Upper tier of the Transcendent—just steps away from ascending to Lower Epic potential."

Zhou Zhou mused, his eyes gleaming with quiet wonder.

Then his expression grew stern once more.

For the advancement to epic-tier potential was the first great bottleneck in the ascension of life-force potential!

Should the Human race ever hope to elevate its potential to epic-tier again, it would likely require at least two newly emergent race god-archetypes.

"I have at my disposal many chief generals who carry the lineage of godhood, and whose own potential is sufficient, aided further by the support of the Palace of the Cyclical Sanctity—therefore, their ascension to godhood presents no real obstacle."

"Even the eventual elevation of Human potential to divine, true-divine, or beyond the primordial bloodline of the original race—reaching the level of god-archetypes—should not prove insurmountable."

"To me,"

"Time is always what I need most."

Zhou Zhou murmured to himself.

Then his gaze returned to Bai Yun and Chi Xuan Tian.

"As newly ascended god-archetypes, you two shall not be neglected by me."

"This one you keep."

After speaking, He simply tossed over two World Rings.

Upon receiving them, Bai Yun and Chi Xuan Tian immediately entered their divine consciousness, and what they saw within was a complete set of primary divine artifacts.

Bai Yun’s primary artifact amplified the power of military formations, while her weapons were a set of lower-tier archery artifacts from a primary god.

Chi Xuan Tian’s primary artifact consisted of a protective robe and a divine sword governed by a lower-tier sword doctrine from a primary god!

They exchanged a glance, and both saw a spark of astonishment in each other’s eyes.

This set of primary divine artifacts was simply perfect for them.

"You may choose three of these artifacts to belong to you personally. The remaining three are considered borrowed by the Emperor. Should you ever wish to claim them, you may exchange them using military merit or contribution points. You will have priority in such exchanges."

Zhou Zhou smiled and said this.

Bai Yun and Chi Xuan Tian were indeed his long-time trusted allies.

Especially Bai Yun, who had followed him since his weakest days, sharing in both the bitter struggles and the hard-won achievements.

Naturally, he could not treat them like the newly joined Main Gods, offering a mere single Main Divine Artifact.

Of course, he could not bestow everything upon them either.

Otherwise, what would remain to reward them with in the future?

Three pieces was just right.

Furthermore, he did not hide these words from Su Yuan and the others, who, upon hearing this, felt only envy rather than resentment.

As newcomers who had yet to establish a single shred of merit, how could they possibly compare themselves to such highly decorated veterans?

"You have arrived at the perfect time."

"Allow me to introduce you."

"These are the new Main God Enshrined Powers who have just joined our Blazing Sun Empire."

"You will soon be working together."

Zhou Zhou turned and introduced them.

Hearing this,

Bai Yun and the others immediately began exchanging greetings with Su Yuan and his group.

With no conflicting interests and knowing they would have to cooperate in battle in the future, they quickly grew close.

Zhou Zhou watched them getting to know each other, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Thus,

he now commanded a total of twenty-five master god-level warriors.

Including himself, his six subordinate deities, and the four main gods such as Teres, that made a total of thirty-six master god-level warriors!

Thirty-six master god-level warriors—among all dominant-level lord factions, that surely ranks among the upper-middle tier, doesn't it?

Zhou Zhou thought to himself.

Then, for a while, He did not send Bai Yun back to the Blue Star, because He had reserved the remaining two opportunities for the returnees’ gospel—keeping them as backup in case of unforeseen circumstances, not wanting to use them lightly.

Thus, He entrusted Bai Yun once again to lead the vast armies of the Jiaoyang Empire, preparing for today’s Chaos God Artifact War and Territorial Expansion War.

And He himself arrived at Muge Valley, where, after Wu Xin successfully annihilated all the mother-nests of the Crimson Mother Nest, He smoothly obtained 8,000 million copies of the "Yellow Seal Army Recruitment Book," 8,000 million copies of the "Storm Spirit Recruitment Book," 8,000 million copies of the "Yellow Seal Army Promotion Certificate," and 8,000 million copies of the "Storm Spirit Promotion Certificate!"

Then He split with Wu Xin—half of them went to recruit and promote soldiers, all of whom were immediately integrated into the main combat forces of the Jiaoyang Empire.

The other half, Zhou Zhou himself, journeyed to the Summoning Gate, where, after spending 100 upper-tier god-grade divine crystals, He instantly recruited 160 billion new soldiers.

Then, using another 100 upper-tier god-grade divine crystals, He summoned 66.6 billion, 66.66 million, and 66.66 pure-blooded dragon clans.

This time, no legendary dragon clans were summoned either.

Yet Zhou Zhou remained calm, utterly without any sense of disappointment.

"Previously, I had a total of 120 billion, 682 million, 350.8 billion, 66.11 million, and 48,29 soldiers—28.25 million, 3615 divine beings, 8,071 true gods, and 28 master god-level combat powers!"

"Now, including these new recruits and the Dragon Race, it totals 15 jing 2682 yao 4175 billion 3278 million 1495 soldiers, 2891 million 9615 deities, 8737 true gods, and 36 master god-level combat forces!"

Zhou Zhou nodded slightly.

He enjoyed this daily incremental growth—just a bit more each day.

Then, using 100 upper-tier god-grade deity crystals, he summoned over 73 million new subjects and 12 upper-tier god-grade deities.

That's 8 million more subjects than the normal summoning quota.

Next, he headed to the Lord's Marketplace to check today's offerings.

The results left him somewhat disheartened.

The items available today were actually quite good.

Specifically:

The Golden Prophets' Golden Bloodline!

The companion artifact of the God of a Hundred Insects—the Hundred Insect Blood Parasite!

And the Celestial Sword Technique, a lower-tier Sword Dao of the Master God from the Scarlet Profound Heavens!

These were all treasures of the Master God level.

Yet, at Zhou Zhou's current realm, he truly possessed little interest in items of the Master God tier.

Only treasures, or perhaps divine artifacts, of the Supreme God level would suffice.

However, his disappointment lasted but a fleeting moment before he dismissed it.

Now, the effects of his Mythical-tier, Unique Lord Talents—the King of Loots and the Lord Shop—were gradually waning as his own power grew more formidable.

This only intensified Zhou Zhou's longing for a Supreme God-tier Lord Talent.

"I must elevate the Supreme Holy Body to the Supreme God level as soon as possible."

"Only then can I possess a Supreme God-tier Lord Talent!"

He thought to himself in silence.
