Chapter 1346: Gathering Chaos Divine Treasures!

Chapter 1346: Gathering the Chaos Divine Treasure!

Then He began to ponder a question.

Where should this Supreme Divine Stele be placed?

He quickly made a decision.

"A stele of such magnificent worth—being enjoyed exclusively by our divine beings seems rather wasteful."

"Let beings of legendary rank and those below it also witness it."

"What if among them emerges a naturally gifted prodigy, capable of understanding the laws even before reaching legendary rank?"

Zhou Zhou murmured to himself.

If the idea is worth pursuing, then let it be done.

With a mere thought, He saw the Universal Law Stele transform into a beam of light, shooting out from the Divine Realm and soaring into the heavens above the Pride of the Sun Capital.

Then came the sight of the Supreme Divine Stele expanding at an astonishing pace.

One kilometer… ten thousand kilometers… one hundred thousand kilometers… one million kilometers… ten million kilometers!

Only when the Universal Law Stele had reached ten million kilometers in height did Zhou Zhou halt its growth.

Thus,

this colossal Universal Law Stele should now be visible to countless others.

Yet this was not the end.

With a gesture, Zhou Zhou activated the domain rule of "The Entire Earth Belongs to the Sovereign," establishing a decree within a radius of one million square kilometers centered on the Universal Law Stele.

[Those who observe or contemplate the Universal Law Stele must be citizens of the Prajya Empire, and must not disclose the existence of the Stele. Outside the Prajya Empire, no one shall see or hear of it.]

"Perfect,"

said Zhou Zhou, smiling contentedly after setting the rule.

He could be infinitely generous to his own vassal peoples.

But for any outsider seeking to take advantage of him, he would give not a single strand of his own.

And by establishing such a rule, he could temporarily conceal the news of the Universal Law Pillar falling into his hands, keeping it hidden from the other races.

Thus, all the race powers would believe that it was the Qing Di of the Human Empire who had claimed the Universal Law Pillar—not him, the Celestial Emperor.

...

Just moments ago, when the Universal Law Pillar had just reappeared within the Sixth Day's offerings,

all the race powers had seen its presence.

Upon witnessing its effects, every race—starting with the Primordial Spirit Clan—had their eyes glow with feverish desire.

"This Universal Law Pillar can create endless gods, true gods, even supreme deities for entire races!"

"Such a divine treasure exists in the hands of the Supreme Will? And it is willingly offered as a reward for the rulers of the various races? I'm envious—this truly treats the emerging race leaders as heirs, as if they were destined to inherit the future!"

"I wish I were a lord of a thousand races! Why am I the leader of our people instead of someone else!"

"Five million hidden master shop points—whose name would you bet on being the first to redeem?"

"The most likely candidate, of course, is the Qing Emperor of the Commoner Empire."

"Has he already obtained the Star of Awakening? Yet he dares to claim the Universal Pathstone?"

"If he dares claim the Star of Awakening, do you think he wouldn't dare reach for the Universal Pathstone as well?"

"...That makes sense."

"I wonder what the Celestial Sovereign is up to. Does he truly not participate in this race of rulers' event?"

"I suspect it's not that simple. What if the Qing Emperor is merely a puppet sent out by the Celestial Sovereign—once the puppet gains sufficient benefits, the Celestial Sovereign will step forward and take over everything from the Qing Emperor?"

"What if you were the Qing Emperor? Would you willingly hand everything over?"

"... "

……

The chieftains of a hundred races were murmuring and speculating about this Universal Law Tablet.

And at that very moment, the leaders of the highest-bloodline and elite-bloodline species were utterly consumed by obsession over this tablet.

"We must secure this Universal Law Tablet—absolutely no way should the Qing Emperor take it!"

"This Universal Law Tablet is far more valuable than the Star of Dawn! Though we may never obtain the Star of Dawn, we must absolutely have this tablet!"

…

All the race leaders were now driven mad by the desire for this universal race artifact.

And then—

A shocking event occurred, one that left every race leader stunned.

The Universal Law Tablet, which had just been listed in the sixth-day marketplace, suddenly vanished?!!

Among all the race leaders, in that fleeting instant, a name surged into their minds—almost simultaneously.

The Azure Emperor!

"It must be Him! It must be the Azure Emperor! Only He could swiftly exchange for the Scroll of All Methods in this current stage!"

"Indeed! It must be Him!"

"First, the Morning Star—then the Scroll of All Methods! The Azure Emperor alone possesses two such treasures! Azure Emperor, Azure Emperor—this time, even if you wish to live, you will surely die!"

"Whoever acquires the treasures upon the Azure Emperor's body may not only ascend to the pinnacle of bloodline races, but surpass the Primordial Spirit Race, becoming the first race in the universe!"

"The Azure Emperor... such a captivating enemy!"

...

Upon realizing that the Azure Emperor had once again exchanged for the Scroll of All Methods, the leaders of the myriad races finally let their accumulated hatred show no restraint. Each one resolved to eliminate the Azure Emperor and seize these two race-essential relics, in pursuit of their own great destinies.

After all...

After Zhou Zhou had exchanged for the Wàn Fǎ Dào Bì, he noticed the prompt for time-limited items reappeared.

Clearly.

Things like the Qǐ Míng Xīng and the Wàn Fǎ Dào Bì—extreme race divine artifacts—could not possibly reappear.

At least not at present.

He then checked whether he could afford all the other items together.

When he realized he couldn’t, he ceased further thought and sat within the divine palace, commanding Zhou Sheng and Zhou Ji to attack the chaos deity monster of the day. Then he remained seated within the palace, observing from within.

After conducting a ritual of chaos sacrificial rites atop the Jiàodào Peak, a chaos deity monster of size comparable to a common human emerged from the vortex of chaos.

"Hello, everyone,"

"I am the Chaos Illusionary Divine Monster. You may call me 'Huan'."

Huan spoke politely.

Then He looked at Zhou Sheng and Zhou Xi, smiled broadly, "Do you know what brings me back to life? Is there something you wish to say?"

"Kill you, take the Chaos God's treasure."

Zhou Sheng said.

"Very well."

"Then come, kill me."

The Phantom nodded, then did nothing—no summoning of clones, no movement at all, just sitting there, helpless.

Zhou Sheng instinctively nodded, then froze.

"What did you just say?"

"Kill me."

The Phantom waved his hands, utterly indifferent.

"Are you not resisting?"

Zhou Sheng was stunned.

"What good would resistance do? My two friends before me were easily killed by you."

"I'm not much stronger than them—resistance wouldn't make much difference."

"Then, let me kill you."

"Besides, I'll come back soon anyway. I'm not truly dead."

A phantom spoke.

Zhou Sheng rubbed his head.

Such a logical argument.

"Brother, you've come to terms with it."

On Saturday, he gave a big thumb-up to Him.

Huan, indifferent, nodded and then said:

"Your Emperor must be preparing for the ascension of the Divine Realm, correct?"

"Let me warn you."

"The enemies He will face will be extremely strong."

"They are the only ones capable of matching our Emperor's power—equal on equal terms."

"You had better be cautious."

"How come you seem to still stand with us?"

Zhou Qi was also puzzled.

"That man always acts like Emperor Number One and Him Number Two. I've been annoyed by him for a long time. If you can beat the other side, I'll be truly delighted."

Whispered with a playful grin.

Zhou Sheng nodded with an oddly peculiar expression.

Then, approaching Him, He struck through the core of the opponent with a single sword, extinguishing them utterly, and retrieved the spoils—successfully securing four Chaos Divine Treasures.

With a flick of His right hand, He saw eight more Chaos Divine Treasures appear in His grasp, now arrayed beside the four newly acquired ones.

"The Chaos Divine Treasures are complete."

"Finally, I can upgrade my territory."

"Then…"

"I can establish a Divine Realm!"

Zhou Sheng murmured to Himself.

And then, He led His entire army directly back to the Jiaoyang Imperial Capital.
