Chapter 1381: Compensation!

Chapter 1381: Compensation!

Under the intimidating gaze of the Supreme Eye,

these Chaotic God-kin deities were forced to lower their flight altitudes, until they were even lower than the height where Zhou Zhan stood.

Though deeply resentful within, all the Chaotic God-kin had no choice but to accept this reality.

Facing the Supreme Lord's Reserve, they simply could not act with the arrogance they once wielded against other races.

Zhou Zhan stared at the Chaotic God-kin chief deity, now reduced to powdered ash, his expression cold and impassive.

How long have these beings held themselves as high-ranking deities? They had never shown the slightest respect for someone like me, a Reserve of the Supreme Lord.

They deserve to die.

He drew forth the Supreme Holy Sword, its tip aimed directly at the chief deities of the Chaotic God-kin, a faint smile playing upon his face.

"Esteemed ones."

"Since you believe my arrival among you has disrespected the dignity of your so-called Chaotic God Clan,"

"Then let us begin a battlefield, kill each other, and let the outcome of war determine the truth—how does that sound?"

"Rest assured, I shall not abuse the privileges of the Supreme Lord against you."

Zhou Zhan's words were nothing short of brazen.

He seemed to be glaring directly at the other, saying: Come on! Disagree? Then fight!

"Deputy Clan Leader."

"Destroy them!"

"When has the Chaotic God Clan ever endured such humiliation?"

One of the main deities of the Chaotic God Clan could no longer contain himself, approaching the side of the Deputy Clan Leader and growling fiercely.

The Deputy Clan Leader was named 'Xuan Chen,' equally a top-tier deity originating from the Jinwu lineage.

At that moment, His expression was dark and yet tinged with hesitation.

To wage war against a Supreme Lord Reserve?

Even if the other claimed they would not wield the privilege of the Supreme Lord Reserve, He could not recklessly launch such a confrontation.

And most importantly—

He had just witnessed firsthand how a single sharp command from the other had shattered the will of his own clan's patriarch.

That was the mightiest of their Chaos God Clan!

Even He had been repelled by a single move.

Without drawing upon the clan's deepest ancestral strength, He would have no chance against them.

"Should we use that?"

The Deputy Clan Leader of the Chaos God Clan hesitated deeply.

That thing was one of the strongest core essences of their Chaotic Deity Clan—a single use, one less.

Until the very moment of a true clan extinction crisis, He truly did not wish to deploy it.

At this very instant—

A voice seemed to whisper into His ears, a sound only He could hear.

After hearing it, His expression shifted slightly, then he fell silent for several seconds before turning to the Celestial Sovereign of the World.

"Celestial Sovereign of the World!"

"Regarding today's events—"

"Considering your status as a reserve heir to the Supreme Lord, our Chaotic Deity Clan will not hold it against you."

"But from this day forward, you must never again arbitrarily kill any of our Chaotic Deity Clan members."

"If you dare to kill any of our Clan members without cause once more, even if you are the reserve heir to the Supreme Lord, we will do everything in our power, pay any price, and eliminate you!"

"Regarding this matter, even if it reaches the presence of the Supreme Will, we shall not waver in the slightest!"

Xuan Chen spoke firmly.

"It depends on whether your Chaotic God Clan people have provoked us."

"I don't want to suddenly eliminate a few of your main gods without cause."

"But there are certain things that insist on pushing themselves into death."

"Would you tell me what I'm supposed to do about that?"

Zhou Zhan replied calmly.

He showed no retreat either.

"I will restrain my Chaotic God Clan people."

"I hope, as a candidate for Supreme Lord, you will likewise restrain your subordinates."

Xuan Chen spoke.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhan nodded slightly.

"There's more."

"Hand over the divine corpses enshrined by our chief deities."

Xuan Chen looked at the five divine corpses of the Chaos God Clan surrounding Feng Luo.

"These are the spoils of my generals' battles."

"If you desire them, ask Him."

"I have no authority over it, nor do I care to."

Zhou Zhan smiled faintly.

The eyes of the Chaos God Clan immediately turned to Feng Luo.

Feng Luo, though but a newly ascended junior deity of the Supreme Deity,

stood before the multitude of Chaos Deity Lords, foreign deities, and countless others—his face unflinching, unshaken.

He pointed at the five corpses of Chaos God-Rulers, and spoke with quiet calm:

"These five of your deities—mere mortals who saw me as a general of the Jiaoyang Divine Realm—immediately launched a merciless assault upon me without any regard for right or wrong."

"If it weren't for my superior skill, when our sovereign arrived, he would have found only my corpse."

"Now that you have come, you do not inquire as to what transpired, but instead seize the enemies who sought to kill me—giving me not a single word of explanation."

"Your Chaos lineage truly is ruthless."

"And as enemies, having been slain by me, their divine remains are now my spoils of war."

"Why should I hand them over to you?"

"You may take them if you wish."

"Show some sincerity!"

The moment those words were spoken,

the expressions of the Chaos Deity Clan instantly darkened with displeasure.

In contrast, the members of the Prajaya Deity Realm all broke into smiles.

After a brief smile, Zhou Zhan's expression grew stern.

He looked at Xuan Chen, his voice solemn:

"Had it not been for Fei Luo's explanation, I would never have known the true nature of this matter."

"Given that, you cannot leave so lightly."

"These five divine corpses, as Fei Luo's spoils of war, naturally belong to him."

"Beyond that, you must give me an explanation!"

"Otherwise, if I must go to war with your Chaotic God Clan, I will do so without hesitation!"

As he spoke the final words, Zhou Zhan's expression grew stern, conveying a sense that any moment, a full-scale war might erupt.

On the Chaotic God Clan's side—especially Pyon Chen, the deputy clan leader—saw Zhou Zhan's attitude and his face grew even more flushed with rage. At the same time, he realized the situation had become utterly untenable.

Now, their position was even more passive.

Most critically, he knew that Feng Luo's words were true. Indeed, it was one of their own primary deities who, upon seeing Feng Luo, had initiated a deliberate hunt.

"Emperor of the People,"

"What do you intend to do?"

Pyon Chen fixed his gaze fiercely upon Zhou Zhan.

Deep within his mind, he yearned to tear the man apart.

It was their very own five primordial gods of the Chaos Clan who had slain them—yet now, it is they who are the ones being threatened.

The Chaos Clan, since the fall of the Chaos race, had never before endured such profound injustice.

"Simple."

"Compensation."

"You attacked our Prajvala Divine Nation with five of your primary gods."

"Therefore, each of you shall compensate us with one primary divine artifact."

Zhou Zhan spoke it calmly.

The moment those words left his lips,

the Chaos Clan gods' eyes turned bloodshot.

And the foreign primary gods accompanying the Chaos Clan deities stared at Zhou Zhan in shock.

This newly appointed aspirant to the Supreme Lordship shows absolutely no fear of offending the Chaos God Clan.

He immediately proposes such an outrageous compensation demand!

Five primary divine artifacts!

Even the Chaos God Clan would have to feel a pang of pain for a while!

There would be chaos god clan members ready to curse Zhou Zhan, but upon glancing up at the Supreme Eye above, they reluctantly suppress their angry words.

After a long silence, Xuan Chen finally spoke:

"I agree."
