Chapter 1368: Supreme Lord Reserve! Myriad Evil Demon Lord!

Chapter 1368: Supreme Lord Reserve! The Lord of a Hundred Evil Powers!

Zhou Zhou stared in astonishment at the text that suddenly appeared before him. After reading it, a look of exhilaration spread across his face.

At the same time,

Lord-masters and racial powers from all the myriad realms across the cosmos saw nearly identical text.

[Universal Announcement: Given that the Human Clan—Lord Jiaoyang—has achieved an unmatched strength among all the lord-masters of the myriad races, the Universal Rivalry Campaign has lost its training and refining value for Lord Jiaoyang. The chances of any other lord-master succeeding in claiming the Supreme Lord title are now nearly zero. After collective deliberation by the Supreme Will and the Will of the Multitude, the following decisions are hereby announced!]

[First: The Universal Lord Campaign will be prematurely terminated. All surviving lord-masters will receive a Universal Rivalry Package. As the sole victor of the Universal Lord Campaign, Lord Jiaoyang will be bestowed the title of "Supreme Lord Reserve" and will receive the exclusive Supreme Lord Reserve Package—the Supreme Lord Reserve Special Treasure Chest!]

[Second: Due to the dire situation in the Ultimate Void Battlefield, we hereby dispatch Lord Jiaoyang, the Supreme Lord Reserve, to the Ultimate Void Battlefield to join forces with the Army of a Hundred Evils and confront the Alien Void Clan, defending the Supreme Cosmos!]

[Third: Racial powers may send their divine beings to join Lord Jiaoyang’s forces and accompany him to the Ultimate Void Battlefield to fight against the Alien Void Clan. Any divine being from a race joining Lord Jiaoyang’s army who makes a contribution during the war against the Alien Void Clan may redeem rewards from the Supreme Divine Monolith according to their own desires.]

This journey to the Ultimate Void Battlefield will have three days of preparation. After three days, Lord Jiaoyang must immediately lead his combat divine beings to the Ultimate Void Battlefield to confront the Alien Void Clan—no exceptions!

All lord-masters and racial powers who saw this announcement were instantly stunned.

What's going on?!

The first phase of the Race Sovereign's campaign hasn't even ended yet, and you've already concluded the entire Universal Clan Sovereigns' Rivalry Event? Even the Reserve of Supreme Sovereigns has been selected? Then what use were our previous efforts?

Ah.

It's the Sun's Sovereign.

Then, all is well.

Today's war—somehow, someone must have leaked the information. Now nearly every Universal Clan Sovereign and their respective race factions know that the Human Sovereign is none other than the Celestial Sovereign.

What truly stunned them wasn't just this revelation. It was the next one.

A significant portion of the Celestial Sovereign's forces, after decisively seizing control of the Alien Coalition, has not only defeated the armies of all high-bloodline races—but has actually intimidated and driven away the entire forces of the Three Supreme Bloodlines: the Primordial Spirit Clan, the Herd God Clan, and the Chaos God Clan.

Now, the Celestial Sovereign has officially ascended to the status of the Fourth Apex among the Universal Clans.

Faced with such a being, the Universal Clan Sovereigns are painfully aware of the chasm that separates them from this entity.

If the Sun's Sovereign were to be chosen as a Reserve Supreme Sovereign… then they would have no choice but to bow down.

Perhaps the unparalleled reputation of the Sun Sovereign had reached such a height that the myriad chief lords had swiftly accepted this reality.

Yet then, something else occurred to them—on their faces, a strange, mischievous smile bloomed.

Now that the Sun Sovereign had successfully secured the rank of High Sovereign Reserve, who could say how the three top-bloodline races would react?

Likely, they were already furious beyond measure?

…

Indeed, the three foremost bloodline races were now thoroughly incensed.

They had never imagined the news would arrive so suddenly.

When they returned, they were still deep in contemplation over how to counter the Celestial Emperor Sovereign.

Instead, upon stepping back into their own ancestral domains, they were met with the shocking revelation that the Sun Sovereign had been officially appointed as a High Sovereign Reserve.

And as for these races, which had tirelessly devoted themselves to the struggle for supremacy among the myriad chief lords—now not only had they lost their right to vie for the position of Supreme Sovereign, but they would henceforth have to obey the commands of this very High Sovereign Reserve.

A leader suddenly appeared atop their heads. For the three great races, who had always stood above all others, this was naturally unacceptable.

Yet they could not refuse—only accept.

Their attention then swiftly turned to the ultimate void battlefield in the multiversal announcement.

"The Legion of Evil... "

The Primordial Supreme God's face flickered with gravity, even fear. He whispered, "It's been a long time since I've heard that name."

...

At the same time.

Before Zhou Zhou's eyes, a unique textual prompt specific to this aspiring Supreme Lord appeared.

[Respected Aspiring Supreme Lord - Sunlord.]

[You now have the right to select elite warriors from among the myriad races and form your own Supreme Alliance!]

[You may select up to 100 million deities, 100,000 true gods, and 100 supreme gods from the myriad races across the multiverse to serve as members of your supreme alliance!]

[You have activated the Ultimate Void Battlefield function!]

[Three days from now, you may lead your army of divine beings into the Ultimate Void Battlefield to wage war against the Yixiu Clan!]

[Supreme Will Notification: The current leader overseeing the Ultimate Void Battlefield is the Wannxie Demon Master from the Abyss. As a third-tier reserve of the Supreme Lord, the Wannxie Demon Master is also eligible to contest for the title of Supreme Lord. You must compete against the Wannxie Demon Master in order to elevate your ranking among the Supreme Lord reserve candidates, bringing you closer to the throne of Supreme Lord!]

Zhou Zhou stared at this long string of textual notifications, his brow furrowing slightly.

The information packed within these messages was overwhelming.

"Am I not the sole Supreme Lord reserve candidate?"

Zhou Zhou immediately asked himself the question most pressing to his mind.

[Supreme Will Notification: Among the lords of the myriad races, you are the only Supreme Lord reserve candidate.]

[However, prior to the Multiracial Lords' Contest, the Supreme Will conducted a selection among the native lords of the Supreme Continent, and ultimately chose three Supreme Lord reserve candidates.]

[Currently, these three high-ranking lords in reserve are serving under the Supreme Will, rarely appearing among the myriad realms and universes.]

"Ah, so they are reserve candidates selected from among the native lords."

Zhou Zhou suddenly understood.

Before the Great Race Among the Noble Lords of the Multiverse, the Supreme Will had originally intended to choose its High Lords from among the native lords of the Supreme Continent.

Yet, the Supreme Will ultimately proved unsatisfied with the native lords, and thus initiated the Great Race Among the Noble Lords of the Multiverse—leading to Zhou Zhou and his companions arriving upon the Supreme Continent.

"It seems the Supreme Will, though dissatisfied with the native lords, still retained three that it found acceptable."

"And am I, then, the fourth one the Supreme Will found acceptable?"

Zhou Zhou stared blankly.

Then his expression grew serious once more.

If things proceeded as expected—

The future Supreme Lord would presumably be selected from among the four of them, the reserves for the supreme throne.

His expression turned solemn.

It appeared that although he had single-handedly brought an end to the war for hegemony among the lords of myriad races, the competition for the Supreme Lord was far from over; instead, it had merely ascended to a new plane.

Yet, Zhou Zhou felt no dread.

If anything, he was eager to try his hand.

For he sensed that only more formidable adversaries could compel him to grow stronger in turn.

Enemies who were too weak would instead hinder his growth.

"What is the origin of this Myriad Evil Legion and the Myriad Evil Lord?"

Zhou Zhou asked once more.

This time, no new textual prompts appeared.

Zhou Zhou, undaunted, pulled out the Bodhi Vessel to inquire.

The Bodhi Vessel replied it could not reveal the truth, only offering one phrase: "You will know when you reach the Ultimate Void Battlefield."

Is that really just nonsense?

Zhou Zhou cursed and was utterly speechless.
