Chapter 1356: Divine Demon Talent Crystal - One Thought Illusory, One Thought Real! War Exemption Token!

Chapter 1356: Divine and Demonic Talent Crystals—One thought, illusion; one thought, reality! Truce Order!

At that very moment,

Five streaks of light descended from the heavens, landing before Him. They bowed half-kneeling, respectfully stating:

"War Sovereign God—Tres, bowing to the Emperor. Congratulations, Emperor, on becoming the master of the Divine Realm's power structure!"

"Life Goddess—Cuitis, bowing to the Emperor. Congratulations, Emperor, on becoming the master of the Divine Realm's power structure!"

"Wisdom Sovereign God—Totbolth, bowing to the Emperor. Congratulations, Emperor, on becoming the master of the Divine Realm's power structure!"

"Mechanical Sovereign God—Zero, bowing to the Emperor. Congratulations, Emperor, on becoming the master of the Divine Realm's power structure!"

"Light Sovereign God—Shiru, bowing to the Emperor. Congratulations, Emperor, on becoming the master of the Divine Realm's power structure!"

Zhou Zhou gazed upon these five supreme deities, now completely devoted and utterly loyal to him, and the smile on his face grew even more radiant.

"Rise, all of you."

"When the Prajaya Divine Realm was first established, five of you top-tier Supreme Deities joined—it proves beyond doubt that the Prajaya Divine Realm is destined for great rise!"

Zhou Zhou said with a smile.

The Tris, they dared not reply.

In earlier days, if Zhou Zhou had spoken such words, they would have felt confident enough to respond.

But after just having clashed with Yixin, these five Supreme Deities now fully understood their position within the Prajaya Divine Realm.

Perhaps among other Supreme Deities, they were indeed among the elite.

Yet before this Sovereign of the Realm, they were merely younger brothers.

Within the Prajaya Divine Realm, they were not as vital as they had once imagined.

Zhou Zhou politely exchanged a few words, then continued:

"Today marks the founding day of my Divine Realm, so I intend to host a grand feast tonight to celebrate this momentous occasion. All of you must come and attend."

"That is natural."

"We'll definitely be there!"

"We will absolutely come."

The main deities, including Teris, immediately pledged their commitment.

Zhou Zhou nodded, then led the soldiers back into the Prairial Divine Capital.

After briefly arranging the next steps, Zhou Zhou eagerly returned to the World of the Deities and arrived before the Sacred Jade Stele of the Realm.

Before him stood a towering jade stele, radiating a brilliant, crystalline light, standing upright within the World of the Deities.

It rose to meet the heavens of the Divine Realm, resting upon the earth of the World of the Deities, like the Unbroken Mountain, upholding the very world of the Divine Realm.

"Is this my Sacred Jade Stele of the Realm?"

"Indeed, indeed."

Zhou Zhou looked upon this celestial stone monument and nodded in satisfaction.

Since gaining the power to wage war against the lordships of the divine realms, he had seen many divine realm jade steles. Yet in terms of height and quality, even those from the high-ranking divine realm lordships clearly paled in comparison to this jade stele from his own junior divine realm lordship.

Clearly.

As the first lord among the myriad races to establish a divine realm lordship, and as one who had survived the unique "founding war," his divine realm jade stele stood apart from all others. It bore a distinctiveness that could not be replicated.

It was likely the handiwork of the Supreme Will.

But exactly what made it different—Zhou Zhou had not yet discerned it. That would likely unfold gradually, over time.

Only then did he begin to examine the treasures offered in the universal broadcast announcement for the myriad race lords.

A thousand points of mythic essence and one million points of legendary essence—naturally, nothing surprising there.

Though Zhou Zhou didn’t find it astonishing, the sheer scale of the reward was indeed staggering.

Then he opened the Myriad Race Mythic Chest.

Before him, within the sacred chest of mythic races, lay a hexagonal crystal pulsing with seven-colored light, resting quietly as if dreaming.

Zhou Zhou reached out and took it in his hands, gazing upon it.

[Item Name: Divine-Malignant Talent Crystal — One Thought, Illusion; One Thought, Reality]

[Item Rank: Supreme God-Class]

[Item Effect: Upon absorption, the Lord shall possess the divine-malignant talent — One Thought, Illusion; One Thought, Reality!]

[Item Description: A divine talent originating from the Chaos-born Illusion and Malignant Deity. With a single thought, the bearer and all living beings, structures, and possessions under their command may become utterly illusory and invulnerable to attack. Conversely, with a single thought, any illusory beings or structures may be transformed into tangible, attackable forms.]

"An illusionary deity's divine talent—really?"

Zhou Zhou's eyes sparkled with sudden recognition.

This was no ordinary talent—capable of nullifying five supreme god-level attacks while leaving both himself and his troops unharmed. A true masterstroke of power.

Though labeled as a Supreme God-Class talent, its actual effect might surpass even the most elite supreme god artifacts in potency.

"A phantom body may not be powerful, but what is truly powerful is its ability to make both itself and its subordinates become phantom—unharmed by external attacks."

"Simply this one effect makes it a top-tier strategic gift of unparalleled significance."

"I didn't expect the Mythic Box of a Hundred Races to reward such a gift."

"Indeed, indeed."

Zhou Zhou was exceedingly satisfied within.

Then, without hesitation, he placed the divine-mortal talent crystal directly upon his brow.

The very next second, he saw the crystal, glowing with seven colors, seamlessly merging into his brow, gradually allowing him to absorb and master this divine-mortal talent.

Once fully integrated and mastered, he gave a slight nod.

Thus, another strategic reserve in battle was now secured.

Then He opened another New Champion Realm Treasure Box.

Inside, two items lay quietly, still and silent.

The first was a golden token.

Carved upon it was a law symbol—‘Exempt’.

“Could it be…?”

Zhou Zhou’s mind flickered, a guess forming.

He picked it up and silently confirmed his suspicion.

[Treasure Name: Exemption Order]

[Treasure Rank: Special Tier]

[Effect: Upon use, the Realm owned by the user will be protected by the Exemption Order, preventing any other Lord’s forces from invading or attacking the user’s territory. Duration: 30 days!]

[Item Description: This artifact is specifically designed to protect newly established lordly domains, preventing them from being invaded by established lordly powers.]

[Note: When a nation holding a truce decree actively invades another nation, the protective effect of the truce decree becomes null and void.]

"A truce decree,"

"Once I use it, for the next 30 days, I won't have to worry about my territory being suddenly attacked by other domains."

"But I'll also be unable to launch active invasions into other nations."

"A fine artifact indeed."

"Alas, it holds no use for me."

Zhou Zhou shook his head in regret.

His lordly domain was in a period of rapid expansion. At this stage, the primary objective was to invade neighboring nations, expand his territory across the Supreme Continent and throughout the myriad realms, thereby elevating his domain's rank and achieving his ultimate goal—the title of Supreme Lord!

How could he possibly abandon attacks on other nations at this critical juncture?

This truce decree, though effective, was destined to have no place in His fate.

"Though useless to me, perhaps it could one day be gifted or traded to a lordly faction with friendly diplomatic relations, allowing them to utilize it."

Zhou Zhou silently mused.

Then he stored it within his first treasure vault.
