Chapter 1376: Mythical Grade Unique Lord Talent - Innate Dao Body! Upgrading the Primordial Dragon Abyss!

Chapter 1376: Mythic-Level Unique Lord's Talent - Innate Dao Body! Upgrading the Original Dragon's Deep Well!

At the same time.

On the other side.

The Will of the First Dragon, being so powerful, naturally sensed the subtle attitudes of the various Supreme God-level beings in the Praja God Realm toward Him.

On the surface, He said nothing.

Yet within, a quiet sigh echoed.

That was how the competition among the Lords of the Hundred Clans worked.

If one lost the bet,

then one could only silently endure the consequences of the loss.

There was no remedy for regret in this world.

"Are you still calling me 'Lord'?"

Zhou Zhou spoke.

"Your Majesty, I bow."

Chu Zun said respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhou finally broke into a smile.

"Welcome to the Sunlord Sovereign State."

"From this day forward, you shall serve temporarily as the Deputy Commander of the Dragon God Corps in our Sunlord Sovereign State."

He said.

As for the official Commander?

That, of course, belongs to Naisarios.

Although Chu Zun was the shared sovereign of the Dragon Clan, it held no weight with Him.

It was impossible to simply hand over the commander of a main force unit like the Dragon God Army just because He had arrived.

What feats had He ever performed!

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I shall devote myself entirely to Your Majesty, until death."

Chu Zun spoke with utmost reverence.

Not a single word of dissent was uttered.

Zhou Zhou nodded, then returned with the now-shrunk Chu Zun to the realm of the Divine Kingdom.

The next day.

Within the Palace of Cyclic Rebirth.

Zhou Zhou slowly opened his eyes.

He felt himself, and soon a smile bloomed upon his face.

"Mid-level Supreme Divine Body of the Supreme God!"

"Done!"

"Not in vain—having spent so many lordly talent crystal fragments and the primal divine crystals of lordly talents."

Zhou Zhou sighed with satisfaction.

The mid-level Supreme Divine Body of the Supreme God elevated his dominion at the Supreme God level to a new height.

Now, even in the face of attacks from the Supreme Deity level, he possessed a certain degree of self-protection.

It also meant that he was one step closer to attaining the Supreme Divine Body of the Supreme Deity level. When he finally achieved that, he would be able to unlock not just one, but two, three, or even more Supreme Deity-level lordly talents.

Then he began to examine the newly awakened myth-level, unique lordly talent that had surfaced during his previous day's cultivation of the Supreme Divine Body.

He cast a brief glance, his brow furrowing slightly, a look of profound boredom flickering across his face.

"To think it would be this lord talent."

[Lord Talent: Innate Dao Body (Mythic-Tier · Unique)]

[Innate Dao Body: A cultivation physique-type lord talent! You and your subjects possess the Innate Dao Body cultivation physique. When engaging in cultivation activities such as martial arts training, elemental meditation, or Qi-refining meditation, the efficiency of absorbing ascension energy is increased by 10,000%, while your comprehension is enhanced tenfold from its original baseline. Even if you and your subjects do not actively engage in cultivation matters, the free-floating ascension energy within heaven and earth will automatically merge into your bodies, accelerating the advancement of your strength and realm. When you and your subjects are attempting breakthroughs in cultivation, the probability of success is increased by 30%. The internal mana/magic power/mental energy/divine power... of you and your subjects is ten times that of living beings of the same tier! The reinforcement of the above effects lasts until the High True God level.]

The Innate Dao Body lord talent!

It originated from the Diamond-tier lord talent that Zhou Zhou originally possessed—Spiritual Body VI!

The content of the two did not differ by much.

Both primarily served to elevate one's latent talent for cultivation.

Yet, where the previous Diamond-grade Lord Talent granted a forty-fold increase to cultivation efficiency,

this newly ascended Mythical-grade, Unique Lord Talent bestowed a staggering hundred-fold amplification.

Furthermore, the Innate Dao Body of this Mythical-grade, Unique Lord Talent came graced with three additional effects.

The first was a tenfold enhancement to one's foundational comprehension.

The second was a thirty percent increase to the probability of breaking through bottlenecks.

The third was a tenfold expansion of the energy contained within the body.

Every single one was a breathtaking boon.

"However..."

"Most of my troops' breakthroughs these days rely on the Mythic-Class, Unique Lord's talent from the War God Master Trias."

"Who still sits in meditation, quietly refining their cultivation levels?"

Zhou Zhou shook his head.

Precisely because of that, he found this Lord's talent somewhat useless.

Well, well, at least he still had other abilities.

This Mythic-Class, Unique Lord's talent wasn't too bad after all.

Then he flew out of the Cycle Holy Palace and arrived at the Pasture Valley.

At this moment, Wu Xin had already led his soldiers to defeat the monsters from the Crimson Nest, chatting with the Pasture Valley while waiting for Zhou Zhou.

Upon seeing his sovereign arrive, he immediately bowed respectfully:

"Your Majesty!"

"I have completely eliminated all the creatures from the mother nest. These are all the spoils of war."

He then handed over three world rings to Zhouzhou.

Zhouzhou accepted them and delved into their inner essence with his divine awareness.

Within one of the rings lay vast quantities of iron-eating bear pet eggs, tree-heart gems, and other captured treasures.

In the other two rings, one contained eight zhen of *Yellow Symbol Army Recruitment Documents* and eight zhen of *Storm Spirit Recruitment Documents*, while the other housed eight zhen of *Yellow Symbol Army Promotion Certificates* and eight zhen of *Storm Spirit Promotion Certificates!*

Upon seeing these recruitment documents and promotion certificates, Zhouzhou's face broke into a smile.

Though he had anticipated this outcome, the sheer volume of documents still stirred a surge of joy within him.

A total of thirty-two zhen of recruitment and promotion papers—no less!

His current total military strength consisted of only thirty-one zhen of soldiers.

This single harvest from the crimson mother nest had doubled his entire force—exactly in half!

The crimson nest, terrifying in its magnitude!

He sighed with deep reflection.

Then he looked up at Wu Xin, handing over the world ring containing the promotion documents.

"Colonel Wu,"

"As always, you'll go and recruit the reserve recruits for promotion, while I'll go to the recruitment portal to gather new soldiers."

He said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wu Xin replied with due respect.

Zhou Zhou nodded.

And then he turned abruptly, soaring toward the location of the recruitment portal.

……

Before the Summoning Gate.

Zhou Zhou simply tossed all the 16 Jing recruitment documents into the Summoning Gate, then ordered Zero to bring over a Cosmic Emperor-class vessel. After spending 100 genuine God-tier lower-tier divine crystals, he cast all the 16 Jing recruitment documents into the Summoning Gate.

The next instant,

a virtual projection flickered to life, showing that every newly recruited soldier had already appeared within the inner world of the Cosmic Emperor-class vessel.

"Welcome, all, to the Jiaoyang Divine State."

"From this day forward, you are my soldiers, citizens of the Jiaoyang Divine State."

Zhou Zhou said just a few words to the new recruits before sending Zero to guide the Storm Spirit soldiers among them to transition into Forbidden Spellcasters.

Then, using another 100 genuine God-tier lower-tier divine crystals, he summoned today’s new citizens.

To his astonishment, this time, exactly 200 million new citizens appeared.

Eight million more vassals were summoned—far beyond the normal quota.

And among these newly arrived vassals, there stood thirteen junior deities summoned by the Glory of the Pioneer, Tier XII.

Zhou Zhou had long anticipated this moment.

Yet when it finally arrived, he found himself elated, yet with no profound emotional surge.

Indeed.

He no longer lacked true deities.

The number of true deities under his command had neared one hundred million.

Even his primary deities were no longer scarce.

Under such circumstances, how could he possibly be stirred by the arrival of thirteen junior deities?

I have grown so much stronger than before.

Zhou Zhou silently thought it over.

Then, without further consideration, He followed the old routine, assigning these newly acquired followers and new deities to the National Defense Corps, leaving them outside the main combat units.

He had originally intended to summon today’s dragon race.

But he quickly noticed something.

That the original Long Yuan had not yet been upgraded.

It remained at the upper-tier deity level.

“After ascending to the divine realm, I forgot to promote the original Long Yuan.”

Realizing this, Zhou Zhou felt a slight embarrassment.

He didn’t dwell on it, instead spending 400 jin units of base materials, 10,000 lower-tier deity crystals, and 100 million high-grade elemental gems to elevate the original Long Yuan from upper-tier deity status to lower-tier deity rank.

Then He looked at the attribute information of the original Long Yuan, now ranked as a lower-tier deity.

[Building Name: The First Long Yuan]

[Building Rank: Subordinate of True God]

[Building Function: Each day, the First Long Yuan can summon 60 billion diamond-tier junior pure-blood dragon clans, 60 billion extraordinary junior pure-blood dragon clans, 6 billion extraordinary junior pure-blood dragon clans... up to 60 True God-tier senior dragon deities as vassals under the lord. There is a 15% chance of summoning legendary dragon clans.]

[Building Upgrade: 500 jin of wood, 500 jin of fine sand, 500 jin of metal, 500 jin of stone, 10,000 mid-level True God crystal shards, 500 million high-tier elemental gemstones, and the territory must be elevated to a mid-level True God nation-level lord faction, with 5 Supreme God-tier dragon clans offering worship!]

Zhou Zhou read it through and nodded with satisfaction.

The First Long Yuan upgraded to a subordinate of True God could summon a total of 66.6 billion 666 million 6660 pure-blood dragon clans—6.66 million ordinary divine-tier dragon clans and 6,660 True God-tier dragon deities.

It may seem that the number of pure-blood dragon clans summoned is nearly identical to that of the higher-tier Supreme God-level First Long Yuan.

Yet the lower limit of the Supreme God-level First Long Yuan is 60 billion platinum-tier superior pure-blood dragon clans.

In contrast, the subordinate of True God has a lower limit of summoning 60 billion diamond-tier junior pure-blood dragon clans.

Clearly, the latter is vastly superior.

And the probability of summoning the legendary dragon race had increased from the previous 12% to 15%.

That's a significant improvement.

The upgrade requirements were also easily met.

All other conditions He could now fulfill instantly.

The only remaining one was for a general to ascend to the rank of mid-tier divine realm lord faction—something that wasn't difficult for Zhou Zhou.

Then He didn't waste any time, directly spending 100 genuine divine lower-tier god crystals to initiate this dragon race summoning.

Soon,

66.6 billion, 66.66 million, and 66.6 billion pure-blooded dragon race beings appeared within the internal world of His newly summoned Cosmic Emperor vessel.

He briefly surveyed the condition of these pure-blooded dragons.

Then His eyes suddenly lit up.

There, in the very heart of these sixty billion-plus pure-blooded dragons, a colossal, majestic purple dragon slumbers.

Upon His head rose coronal dragon horns, as though wearing an imperial crown.

His entire form was draped in dreamlike purple dragon skin, possessing sixteen wings that could blot out the heavens, His aura incomparably noble yet rebellious and domineering.

Around Him, a colossal purple sun blazed.

This towering purple sun was as vast as an entire Great Thousand World, its surface burning with fierce, cruel deep-purple flames, appearing mysterious, majestic, and sinister.

It was none other than the legendary dragon—the Star-Devouring Demon Dragon!

Back then, He had used a single drop of blood from a lesser High God, the Star-Devouring Dragon God, to manifest as the Star-Devouring Dragon God and annihilate Uriel of the Titan Pantheon.

Yet the Star-Devouring Dragon race, including the Star-Devouring Dragon God itself, were actually the bloodline descendants of this very Star-Devouring Demon Dragon.

"To think this is the one who was summoned."

Zhou Zhou murmured in amazement.

This legendary dragon race, famed throughout the infinite realms as the Dragon of the Abyss, ranked nearly second only to the Imperial Dragon and the First Dragon in combat prowess among the dragon kin.

With His presence, the combat strength of His dragon god army would be vastly amplified.

After a brief conversation with this Star-Eating Dragon of the Abyss, He integrated Himself and all other pure-blooded dragon clans into the Dragon God Army.

Then He took no further interest, simply arriving at the Lord's Marketplace.

Yet something disheartening to Zhou Zhou was that today's offerings at the Lord's Marketplace remained merely three ordinary main-god-tier items.

For a being who already possessed eighty-one Supreme God artifacts—how could such offerings still hold any appeal?

Still, He spent several million main-god-tier divine crystals to purchase these items, merely to satisfy his obsessive compulsions.

At that very moment—

BOOM!

Boom!

Three consecutive, familiar booms echoed from the direction of the Cycle Holy Palace, rippling outward with an unmatched divine aura, spreading at a breathtaking speed across the infinite realms of the cosmos.

Then—

A column of light, pulsing with an eerie violet glow and radiating the terrifying essence of the abyss, surged skyward, piercing the heavens in a straight, unyielding line.

In an instant—

The celestial expanse shifted and transformed, subtly revealing the imagery of the abyss beneath.

A colossal abyssal eye stood at the very core of the depths.

The next moment,

It opened its eyes, fixed upon the direction of the Cycle Holy Palace. A flicker of satisfaction shimmered across its gaze before it slowly closed its eyes again.

Then—

Another brilliant golden column and a shimmering aqua-blue column surged skyward, casting their light across the heavens and manifesting distinct celestial phenomena of their own.

Though in scale and grandeur they paled compared to the previous abyssal columns, they were still nothing short of extraordinary.

The deities of the myriad realms, gazing upon this spectacle and turning their eyes toward the source of the three columns, felt their minds grow numb.

Another Sunlight Divine Realm!

And now, in a single breath, three new chief deities had been born!

Could it be that the Sunlight Divine Realm was favored by the Supreme Will? That divine-level beings, especially, were exceptionally prone to ascending to chief deity status?

Meanwhile,

Before the Lord's Marketplace,

Zhou Zhou watched the celestial phenomena marking the ascension of these three chief deities, a faint smile forming on his face.

"Only one day, and they've already ascended."

"Fast enough."

He chuckled lightly.

At that very moment,

Bai Yun, Chi Xuan Tian, Yuan Chong, Ying Ning, Teres, Shiru, Tot Borsch, Zero, Cu Ti Si...

All the principal deities of the Prajya Divine Realm emerged from within the realm, gazing in astonishment at the celestial phenomenon in the heavens.

"Three principal deities born simultaneously?"

"Wow, three divine beings emerging in a single day—this is the true charm of the Prajya Divine Realm!"

"Our Prajya Divine Realm is growing stronger and stronger!"

...

The principal deities spoke in murmured wonder.

Their expressions were filled with excitement and fervor.

Discovering that they had joined an organization with boundless potential truly stirred their hearts with exhilaration.

"I'm growing more and more convinced that the King will be our hope for ascension to the highest divinity," said Thothbolth, the God of Wisdom, suddenly.

Tres did not turn his head, merely gazing silently at Zhou Zhou's form.

"I've always believed that," he replied with a smile.
