Chapter 1411: Submission

Chapter 1411: Submission

"My time has come."

"Supreme Lord, Reserve Rank—we will surely meet again."

The God of Heaven's Edge spoke these words.

And then, the entire form of the God shattered instantly, vanishing completely.

Zhou Zhan watched this scene, a faint smile curling at the corner of his lips.

Though he had lost this top-tier asset, he did not feel any loss at all. On the contrary—he felt immensely fortunate! Extremely fortunate!

Not only had he forged a connection with this supreme deity, but more importantly…

He turned his gaze toward the battlefield, now clearly tipping in his favor, and smiled gently:

"This war has reached its end."

……

Three hours later.

Under the relentless assault of the Jieyang Divine Nation's army, the Primordial Spirit Clan's forces, the Herd of the Divine Shepherd, and over six thousand elite affiliated races, the Chaos Divine Clan and its allied races were nearly annihilated.

The Tian Su Beast—slain three times in succession by Yuan and the Emperor—still refused to die. Due to its unique constitution, despite the combined might of two of the highest-tier Primordial Gods, it never truly perished. Each time it was struck down, it immediately rose again, as if reborn from the ashes.

The Tian Su Beast boasted arrogantly, declaring Yuan and the Emperor to be nothing special, his expression one of relaxed indifference.

Even as the Chaos Divine Clan's forces lay in ruins before his very eyes, he remained unmoved, indifferent, as if the entire fate of the world were nothing more than a passing breeze.

Yuan and the Tian Su Beast both stared at one another with grim expressions—helpless against the beast’s immortality.

They believed their own strength to be equal, if not superior, to that of the Tian Su Beast. Yet this invincibility—this endless resurrection—was truly a nightmare.

Until Zhou appeared before them.

When Zhou Zhan appeared before the Tian Su Beast, still holding the God-Slayer Dagger of Ying Jun, the Three Supreme Deities—Tian Su Beast, Yuan, and Emperor—immediately froze.

Yuan and the Emperor both stared with expressions of disbelief.

But the Tian Su Beast went utterly insane.

"How could you still be alive?!"

The beast shrieked, its voice trembling with fury.

They had spent such immense cost to summon this master of assassination, a Supreme God of the highest rank. How could it be that this human lord still lived?

If this human lord still lived, then their entire plot had become a grotesque farce!

Especially the Tian Su Beast.

It had sworn, in solemn vow, to kill this human lord-in-waiting, to give the Supreme Will a proper jolt.

Now, all was ruined.

The Reserve of the Supreme Lord lives, unharmed.

He has become a clown in the eye of the Supreme Will.

"Why haven't I died yet?"

Zhou Zhan toyed with the God-Slaying Dagger in his hand, gazing at the Heaven-Cursed Beast with a smile that was both amused and cold. "It's simply because the so-called Supreme God of the Top-tier Assassin you brought—those fools—was slain by my subordinates."

"See this God-Slaying Dagger in my hand? Do you recognize it?"

Although the Heaven-Blade Supreme God was not Zhou Zhan's subordinate, his puppet was owned by Zhou Zhou. Thus, calling him a subordinate was not entirely unjust.

It was merely a one-time subordinate.

The Heaven-Cursed Beast stared intently at the God-Slaying Dagger being toyed with in Zhou Zhan's hand.

As a four-tier Supreme God personally summoned by Him, He naturally knew what this black dagger was.

It was the strongest assassin's artifact in all realms and heavens—something every Supreme God had longed for and dreamed of!

To think that it had actually fallen into the enemy's hands now—could it truly be as they claimed, that his subordinate had slain that great lord?

Remembering the sight of the Heavenly Blade Supreme God puppet draped in six Supreme Divine Artifacts, the Heavenly Curse Beast felt it was indeed possible that the great lord had been killed.

The Heavenly Curse Beast fell into a sudden, heavy silence at the thought.

In the very next second.

It abruptly surged right through the Source Emperor, transforming into a streak of white flowing light as it charged furiously toward Zhou Zhan.

"I want you dead!!"

It roared in a voice of maddened fury.

But in the blink of an eye.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Three blades of will, radiating a stark white light and appearing as solid as physical steel, had already materialized and hung suspended over the Heavenly Curse Beast's head, though none knew exactly when they had arrived.

That blade of will, radiating the aura of willful transcendence, left the TianSu beast motionless, trembling with fear. Behind them, Yuan and the Emperor stared at Zhou Zhan, their eyes widening in shock.

Willful transcendence!?

This supreme lieutenant-in-waiting, who had not even ascended to the rank of Main God, had already surpassed the realm of Will as Light—reaching the coveted, long-sought-after state of Willful Transcendence!?

Could it be that, for this supreme lieutenant-in-waiting, the path to becoming a Supreme God was now nothing more than a mere possibility?

The willful transcendence they had dreamed of for so long—had now manifested upon such a true God?!

Yuan and the Emperor exchanged a glance, each reading the bitter disappointment in the other's eyes.

Is this truly the supreme lieutenant-in-waiting the highest will had always hoped for?

Well, well. They had finally lost their pride.

In that very moment, they truly bowed in silent awe.

"Only He is worthy to become our Supreme Lieutenant-in-Waiting."

"No one can replace Him."

Yuan spoke with a complex tone.

The Emperor nodded silently.

In that moment, both deities had no objections whatsoever regarding this sunlord's ascension to the rank of Supreme Lord in training.

On the other side,

Zhou Zhan stared coldly at the TianSu Beast:

"You seem to have strong reservations about me and the Supreme Will."

"Why?"

"Why?!"

The TianSu Beast looked at Zhou Zhan, laughing wildly as if in madness, "Why should I answer you?!"

"I was imprisoned by that being of supreme will, trapped within this boundless sea of chaos for countless ages—since my very birth, I have never left the Sea of Chaos."

"I am to the Supreme Will nothing more than a slave!"

"No!"

"Not merely a slave!"

"He has conducted endless experiments upon me, tormenting me without rest, without mercy. I am still just a mere specimen, stripped of dignity!"

"Though I am a top-tier Primordial God, I still do not enjoy the freedom and joy of ordinary beings across the myriad realms."

"Can I not have grievances against the Supreme Will, then?"

"Even you, don't think so."

"Even if the Supreme Will Himself came to me, I would strike without hesitation, with every ounce of my being!"

"I wish the Supreme Will would die! Die! Die!!!"

Zhou Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly, then coldly laughed,

"Even you dare to strike against the Supreme Will?"

"Stop talking nonsense and make me laugh."

"You not only can't touch the Supreme Will—

You can't even do anything to me, a true god of the upper tier. And yet, you foolishly gift me a top-tier Supreme Artifact."

"Thanks, man."

Upon hearing this, Tian Su Mo's vision instantly darkened.

How could this Supreme Commander-in-Training be so lucky—both in fortune and in his mouth?

Zhou Zhan didn't care what the other was thinking. His gaze shifted to the Source and the Emperor of the Empire standing in the distance.

The Source and the Emperor of the Empire exchanged a glance, then, with trembling expressions, approached Zhou Zhou.

"I have seen the Junior Supreme Lord, Sir."

The two deities spoke with trembling hesitation.

After he revealed his Will-Transcendent Realm, they had long since lost any sense of pride before him.

After all, if this Junior Supreme Lord so chose, merely two Will Blades would be sufficient to effortlessly annihilate them both.

What of the Top Ten Supreme Deities?

Before the Will Blades of a Will-Transcendent Realm, even the courage to raise their heads would be impossible.

Thus, their current demeanor is one of profound humility.
