Chapter 1361: Soul Heaven Lord's Attempt to Befriend

Chapter 1361: The Friendship of the Soul Heavenly Emperor

After the Soul Heavenly Emperor unleashed that astonishing finger strike, the entire starry expanse fell into a profound silence.

Whether on Yuan's side or on Zhou Zhan and Zhou Zhou's, everyone was stunned, speechless, staring at the battlefield where a portion of the cosmos had been seemingly erased by a rubber eraser.

That was two-thirds of the enemy alliance's soldiers, gods, and chief deities.

A single finger.

And yet, all of them had been annihilated.

Was this the power of the Supreme God?

Could the Supreme God be this formidable?!

No!

Zhou Zhan suddenly sensed something was amiss.

He had wielded relics of the Supreme God's level, thus possessing some understanding of the Supreme God's methods.

That astonishing finger stroke just now—while a top-tier Supreme God might conceivably achieve it—could never replicate the effortless manner displayed by the Spirit Heaven Emperor.

The casual, almost careless demeanor of the Spirit Heaven Emperor, as though he had merely lifted his hand and the opponent had crumbled instantly, like a mere flick of a wrist, suggested something far beyond mere power.

Perhaps, truly, as the legends claimed, this Spirit Heaven Emperor had indeed reached the threshold of willful existence, grasping even a whisper of that fabled, supreme will.

Zhou Zhan thought it silently.

Then he regained his composure and bowed respectfully:

"Your Grace, your words are too kind."

"We must also thank Your Grace for your intervention—otherwise, these individuals would have certainly caused us considerable trouble."

"No need for such courtesy. We are both Primordial Emperors. A small favor, nothing more. What could there be to thank for?"

"And frankly, it is your techniques that truly astonish me."

"Your true form should merely reach the mid-level of True Godhood."

The Soul Heavenly Emperor's face broke into a genuine, heartfelt astonishment. "With only mid-level True God power, you've already achieved invincibility beneath the Supreme God."

"When I was at the level of True God, I was far behind you."

"Your innate Emperor's Law—must be an exceptionally powerful principle."

The path of the Lord's Law branches into countless divergent routes.

Each Supreme Emperor of Origin approaches the Lord's Law from a unique angle, often forging a singular, unparalleled Emperor of Origin.

Thus, among the Supreme Emperors of Origin, there exists a saying:

Each Supreme Emperor of Origin is unparalleled in the world.

This unparalleled status does not refer to combat strength, but rather to uniqueness.

Just as the Soul Heavenly Emperor has forged his path as the Emperor of Origin of the Soul.

He could command endless spirits, and across infinite realms, countless souls bowed to Him as their sovereign. Even this world had birthed a unique race—specifically for Him—the Hu Clan!

Take, for instance, Zhou Zhou's legendary lordly aptitude—the "Lost Heart of the Sea God." Within it lies a divine lineage—the Imperial Heritage of the Sovereign of All Seas.

Once all fragments of the Sea God civilizations are gathered, this lordly talent will automatically ascend to the mythical rank of the sole lordly aptitude—the Sovereign of All Seas. At that moment, Zhou Zhou will automatically inherit the divine lineage—the Sovereign of All Seas, an Imperial Spirit of the Supreme.

And this Sovereign of All Seas is none other than the primordial Imperial Sovereign who rules over boundless oceans.

The distinction of the Imperial Sovereign lies precisely here.

Yet simultaneously, all Imperial Sovereigns share one well-known common trait.

Their core path is always one of dominion.

As long as the principle of dominion remains unshaken at the heart of their path, their future journey will never veer off course.

"Your Grace is being modest," said Zhou Zhan, smiling at the words.

The Huaten Emperor Sovereign shook his head.

He looked at Zhou Zhou, and within the two golden, hollow bones, a flash of divine light passed swiftly.

That aura...

The scent of a Supreme Tier — the sole Sovereign's innate gift!?

And the depth of his will... seemed to have already approached the infinite threshold of Willful Deityhood!?

Damn!

The Huaten Emperor Sovereign silently marveled within.

This junior descendant of the Primordial Emperor, though seemingly only recently beginning his cultivation, had only reached the mid-level of True Deity status—yet now, his path all the way to the Supreme Deity realm appeared utterly unobstructed?

How many efforts, how many heartbeats, how many sacrifices had he once poured into breaking through to Supreme Deityhood?

Too many to count.

The number of perfect numbers is endless.

Once you begin to think about it, a deep ache stirs in your heart.

And before you stands this Primordial Emperor Sovereign, already possessing the innate talent of a Supreme God-tier Lord, with his willpower threshold nearly reached—his path to ascending to Supreme Godhood seems as simple as drinking water or eating food.

After all, the two most difficult hurdles in achieving Supreme God status—the innate talent of a Supreme God-tier Lord and the willpower level of a Supreme God—have already been mastered by him.

All that remains are minor, gradual refinements.

Should this one not fall during the journey, he will surely become a Supreme God deity.

Moreover, having already demonstrated invincible power beneath the rank of Supreme God at the Mid-Level True God stage, once he ascends to Supreme Godhood, he will become an invincible Supreme God.

With this in mind,

Hun Tian Emperor Sovereign suddenly felt a strong desire to form a bond with him.

Such a prodigy—having never offended him—what better time is there than now to cultivate a friendship? Who else could one turn to?

Missing it would regret for a lifetime!

As soon as that thought crossed His mind, His expression grew even more gentle.

"Lord Emperor, shall I deal with them all?"

"It's just a convenient side task."

While speaking, He cast a gaze so dangerous it seemed to cut through the very air, fixed upon the remnants of the allied forces—now reduced to only a third of their former strength.

The source and the other primary deities, along with the divine spirits and soldiers, immediately felt the chill of that gaze, their bodies stiffening with fear.

They were paralyzed by dread, utterly still.

How could they possibly flee before a Supreme God who had already begun to grasp even the faintest threads of will?

What kind of delusion was that?

Yuan had no doubt—should he instantly teleport back to the ancestral domain of the Primordial Spirit Clan right now, the Soul Heavenly Emperor would still slay him with a single gaze spanning countless light-years.

There is no doubt!

The Soul Heavenly Emperor possesses such power!

"Your Grace, the struggle between me and them is actually quite complex."

"Delegate them to me."

Zhou Zhan quickly said.

Nonsense.

With your sheer power that reduces enemies to nothing but bones, what could I possibly gain from this fight?

I haven't even activated my Heavenly Emperor's grand, explosive effect yet.

In Zhou Zhou’s own estimation, as long as he continued to develop and accumulate, those elite bloodline clans—the Primordial Spirit Clan, the Herd God Clan, and the Chaos God Clan—would merely be like common chickens and dogs to him, easily vanquished.

At that moment, the other side would merely be a trophy, something capable of being eliminated and extracted at will.

But if this nobleman acted prematurely, then nothing would be left for himself.

For the sake of long-term strategy, he should keep their lives intact.

"Very well."

"Since the Imperial Sovereign has this intention, I won't interfere haphazardly."

The Soul Emperor was taken aback, then smiled.

In his heart, he marveled at the other's true mastery—though his power had not yet reached the heights of his own, he already carried within him the spirit of invincibility.

He could effortlessly erase these formidable foes with a single gesture, and yet he had not demanded any reward. Yet still, the other chose to handle it themselves, refusing any outside involvement. Most importantly, he truly possessed the strength and potential to accomplish it.

Wasn't that the very essence of invincibility?

Only a regret—this opportunity to deepen their connection could not be seized.

Zhou Zhan saw the other person's expression of sorrow, fearing that this Huatian Emperor Sovereign might yet make some astonishing move, so he hurriedly told him about the competition among the chief lords of the ten thousand tribes.

Upon hearing this, the Huatian Emperor Sovereign's brows furrowed deeply.
