Chapter 1389: Upgrading the Territory! Mid-Level Divine Kingdom! Ten Thousand Races Announcement!

Chapter 1389: Upgrade Territory! Intermediate Divine Nation! Multinational Announcement!

At the very instant the Eternal Mothership returned to the Sun God Capital,

within the Realm of Cyclical Sanctity,

Zhou Zhou slowly opened his eyes.

Before his mind, memories of Zhou Zhan's journey surfaced—after reviewing them thoroughly, his brows slightly arched.

"Is this a hidden reserve prepared by the alliance of three clans?"

"Never mind."

"As long as it's not a will-level technique, I have no fear at all."

He murmured to himself.

Then, he checked his own condition, a smile gently spreading across his face.

"Tomorrow!"

"I'll ascend to the upper tier of True God!"

"Most likely the day after tomorrow!"

"I'll elevate my cultivated Supreme Holy Body to the upper tier of Master God!"

"The Supreme Holy Sword and the Emperor's Sovereign Sacred Sword's enhancement of my cultivation of the Lord's Law are simply overwhelming."

"I sense that in no time at all, I'll reach the Master God level and possess a Supreme Holy Body of True God rank!"

"Then..."

"Even the Supreme God might not be able to defeat me!"

Zhou Zhou now possesses immense confidence.

And nearly all of this confidence stems from the Supreme Holy Sword and the Emperor's Sovereign Sacred Sword.

Then He stepped directly out of the Palace of Cycles and soared into the heavens above the Sun-Emperor Realm.

"It's time to upgrade."

With a flick of his right hand, fifty Chaos Divine Treasures appeared in his grasp.

In silence, he whispered the incantation: "Upgrade territory."

The next instant—

40 yao units of base materials, 10,000 mid-level Divine God crystals, 5,000 million source crystals, 50 units of Chaos Divine Treasures, and 10 mid-level Divine God territorial seals vanished without a trace.

A message appeared.

[Congratulations! Your Lower Divine God Realm (Lord's Law) has successfully advanced to the Mid-Level Divine God Realm (Lord's Law)!]

[Your territory has been elevated to a Mid-Level Divine God Territory!]

[Your Lower Divine God Universal Law Array has been upgraded to a Mid-Level Divine God Universal Law Array.]

[Territory stone monument durability increased to: 5000 meg/5000 meg!]

[Your territory has expanded to 200 billion km × 200 billion km × 10 million m!]

[All fog monsters within the newly expanded territory have been expelled!]

[The crimson fog will no longer appear in any part of your territory!]

[You have received an upgrade reward: Box of Mythic Building Blueprints (Divine God Intermediate)!]

[Lord's talent hint: Your Crimson Nidus can now be upgraded!]

[Lord's talent hint: Your Mystery Caravan faction has been enhanced!]

[Lord's talent hint: The divine personnel of your Life Ark have gained strength!]

Zhou Zhou nodded slightly.

Then He turned his gaze toward the requirements for upgrading his territory to Divine God level.

[Territory Upgrade: 50 yao units of wood, 50 yao units of fine sand, 50 yao units of metal, 50 yao units of stone, 10,000 upper-tier divine crystals, 1 jin unit of source crystals, 200 units of chaotic divine treasures, 10 upper-tier territorial domains of a true god, 10 upper-tier divine beings of true god rank, 10 million heroic figures of a race, 10 pieces of upper-tier territorial decrees of a true god!]

"200 units of chaotic divine treasures!"

"This one is manageable."

Zhou Zhou, upon seeing this one condition that was the most difficult to achieve, exhaled in relief.

After completing the upgrade of his territory, he still held 44 units of chaotic divine treasures in his possession. If he continued to use his grand explosive bursts every single day, he would amass enough chaotic divine treasures within a maximum of four days—enough to elevate his territory to the rank of upper-tier true god domain.

"Of course, in the days ahead, I might not encounter any chaotic divine beasts, and thus be unable to obtain any more chaotic divine treasures."

"But I have the Bodhi Sovereign at my disposal."

"If no chaotic divine beasts appear in the Chaotic Sea, I will ask the Bodhi Sovereign whether there are any elsewhere."

"If even there are no chaotic divine beasts in other regions, then I can simply revert to my old method of summoning chaotic divine beasts—or directly inquire about how to enter the realm of divine beasts."

There must be gods and demons in the Divine Demon Realm, right?

It is just a bit of an adventure.

That Chaos Divine Demon Emperor, according to the words of the Bodhi Vanguard, might very well possess strength at the Will level.

If I were to encounter Him, accidents could easily happen.

Unless it is truly impossible to find any Chaos Gods and Demons elsewhere, it is better not to step into the Divine Demon Realm lightly.

Zhou Zhou thought to himself with characteristic caution.

He then summoned the information interface of his divine kingdom.

When he saw that all the conditions for elevating the divine kingdom had been met, a smile flickered across the corners of his lips.

Then, without a shred of hesitation, he chose to promote the Scorching Sun Divine Kingdom from a primary divine kingdom to a medium divine kingdom.

A textual prompt materialized.

[Prompt: You have met all the requirements for promotion to an intermediate divine kingdom. Do you wish to elevate the Blazing Sun Divine Kingdom to an intermediate divine kingdom?]

"Promote!"

Zhou Zhou commanded.

[Prompt: You have one opportunity to relocate your divine capital. Do you wish to change or retain its current location?]

"Retain!"

Zhou Zhou, naturally having no intention of changing it, chose to keep it as it was without hesitation.

[Prompt: Your choice has been confirmed!]

[Prompt: Your lord territory—the low-grade divine kingdom, the Blazing Sun Divine Kingdom—is currently undergoing promotion...]

[Prompt: Promotion successful!]

[Congratulations! Your low-grade divine kingdom lord territory, the Blazing Sun Divine Kingdom, has officially been promoted to an intermediate divine kingdom lord territory, the Blazing Sun Divine Kingdom!]

[Tip: You may display your Realm of the Divine Kingdom's rank at any channel!]

Zhou Zhou nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this.

This time, the pace of his realm's advancement was significantly faster than before.

The very next second,

an announcement appeared unexpectedly to Zhou Zhou.

[Universal Clan Announcement: Congratulations to the Reserve Supreme Lord – Master Jiaoyang, who has successfully elevated their Divine Kingdom Territory to a Mid-Level Divine Kingdom Territory! Reward: Reserve Supreme Lord Chest +1, Mid-Level Divine Kingdom Chest +1! Legend Rank +10,000! Mythic Rank +100!]

[Universal Clan Announcement: Congratulations to the Reserve Supreme Lord – Master Jiaoyang…]

[Universal Clan Announcement: Congratulations to the Reserve Supreme Lord – Master Jiaoyang…]

Upon seeing this, Zhou Zhou's expression instantly turned startled, then strange.

This… the Universal Clan Lord's Grand Competition has already concluded, yet his territory upgrade still triggered an announcement—and specifically, the announcement highlighted that *his* Reserve Supreme Lord status was what initiated it.

Zhou Zhou pondered for just a second, and then guessed the reason.

This must be a special announcement crafted by the Supreme Will—intended as a reward for his promotion to a higher territory.

The Supreme Will truly has a thoughtful heart.

He opened the Universal Clans Warfare Channel and the Universal Clan Lords' Channel.

Indeed.

At this very moment, both the clan lords and the divine beings of the myriad clans were discussing the intent behind this announcement.

And among the more astute, it was quickly realized that this announcement was merely a pretext—crafted by the Supreme Will to reward himself as a candidate for the position of Supreme Lord.

[Primordial Spirit Clan Chief—Yuan, Congratulations to the Master of the Common People, who has successfully ascended to the rank of Sovereign of a Mid-Level Divine Nation!]

[Pastoral God Clan Chief—Emperor, Congratulations to the Master of the Common People, who has successfully ascended to the rank of Sovereign of a Mid-Level Divine Nation!]

[Chaos God Clan Chief—Tian Su, Congratulations to the Master of the Common People, who has successfully ascended to the rank of Sovereign of a Mid-Level Divine Nation!]

[Phew, no doubt—what a true candidate for Supreme Lordship. Simply promoted to Mid-Level Divine Realm Sovereign, and the chieftains of the three top-bloodline ethnic powers have all come to congratulate! The spectacle is absolutely flawless!]

[I'm envious. The Supreme Will's intent is so blatant! This announcement clearly only targets the Celestial Sovereign of the People!]

[After all, isn't the Celestial Sovereign of the People the one personally approved by the Supreme Will as the designated heir to the Supreme Lordship?]

[I thought once the Universal Sovereigns' Rivalry concluded, my role would be over. Instead, I can still be a mere spectator—what a turn of events!]

[Jealous of the Celestial Sovereign of the People... Still, he truly is impressive. Just two days ago, he elevated his territory to a Junior Divine Realm Sovereign Power. And now, barely a week later, he's already promoted it to a Mid-Level Divine Realm Sovereign Power. That pace is absolutely insane.]

[What's insane about that? The Sunlight Divine Realm, though only recently elevated to Ultimate Divine Realm Sovereign Power, has long been acknowledged by all across the multiverse as a force capable of standing alongside the original Spirit Clan, the Chaos Divine Clan, and the Pastoral Divine Clan—true elite bloodline powers. It's a force worthy of being called the Fourth Apex of the Multiverse. A force of the Fourth Apex, and now merely at Mid-Level Divine Realm Sovereign status? That's utterly beneath it!]

[That does make sense.]

[Still, I recall—wasn't it the case that even the previous three candidates for Supreme Lordship didn't receive such honors?]

[Those three are already relics of the past. How could they possibly compare to the new rising powers?]

[Hush! Be careful!]
