Chapter 1412: Supreme Eye and Rewards

Chapter 1412: The Supreme Eye and the Reward

"Never dare to bear such a title."

Zhou Zhan smiled. "I have never heard of any race daring to risk offending the Supreme Will by launching an attack against the designated heir of the Supreme Lord."

"I fear my status as the designated heir of the Supreme Lord might be a mere fiction."

The Yuan He Di Huang grew instantly alarmed upon hearing this.

"Lord,"

"Previously, we were deceived by the influence of the Heavenly Curse Beast, and thus made such a foolish decision."

"You, as the designated heir of the Supreme Lord, and we, as the purest offshoot of the Supreme Will—how could we have dared to act against you, without the manipulation of the Heavenly Curse Beast?"

"And now, we have fully come to our senses."

"Lord, look at this."

"After we have fully understood the conspiracy of the Heaven-Cursed Beast, we have already ordered our main armies, along with the elite forces of our affiliated races, to launch a counteroffensive against the Chaos God Race's army of chaos."

"The Chaos God Race has been utterly destroyed."

"All that belongs to the Chaos God Race should now be yours, Sir."

The Emperor quickly spoke with humble deference and servile eagerness.

Yuan echoed this in unison beside him.

In this moment,

they had completely lost the arrogance and dignity of their former selves.

Far away in the realm of the Divine Kingdom, Zhou Zhou, through the eyes of Zhou Zhan, watched these two supreme deities bowing with excessive reverence to his own avatar. A quiet pang stirred within his heart.

Once upon a time,

when he first heard the names of the Primordial Spirit Race and the Chaos God Race—two of the most powerful bloodline civilizations—he had only regarded them as distant, unattainable goals, as forces beyond reach, as terrifying adversaries.

Now.

The chieftains of these two preeminent bloodline races, once mighty, now kneel before him, tail between their legs, begging for mercy.

Even the chieftain of another top-tier bloodline race trembles beneath the edge of his will, too afraid to resist.

I am no longer the man I once was.

Yet I am still the man I always was.

Zhou Zhou's face bears a smile.

He then continues to observe Zhou Zhan's perspective.

Meanwhile.

After hearing the Emperor's words, Zhou Zhan replied calmly:

"The Chaotic God Clan is merely my defeated foe; all that belongs to them was always mine."

"Yes, yes!"

"It was my mistake."

The Emperor hurried to say so.

"I have heard that the Emperor possesses the bloodline of the Chaotic Human Clan—what a perfect match."

"This Chaotic Sea was originally the domain of the Chaotic Human Clan, only later to be seized by the Chaotic Divine Clan through cunning and force."

"Now that the Emperor has returned and defeated the Chaotic Divine Clan, it is long overdue for the land to be reclaimed by its rightful owners!"

"The remaining members of the Chaotic Divine Clan should now serve as slaves to the Emperor."

Yuan agreed wholeheartedly and kindly offered his suggestion to Zhou Zhan.

The Heavenly Curse Beast, controlled by three Will Blades, turned crimson with fury at the mere three sentences spoken by these three deities, who had so casually decided the fate of the Chaotic Sea and the future of the Chaotic Divine Clan.

Yet it said nothing.

Nothing could be said anymore.

Victor is king, vanquished one is the foe!

An ancient truth!

He had long understood this principle.

Only in the past had he and his Chaotic God Clan been the victors; now, at last, it was their turn to fall, to suffer the consequences of defeat.

On the other side.

Zhou Zhan turned his back to gaze upon the battlefield.

After the annihilation of the Chaotic God Clan and its elite subordinate races, the field had slowly returned to stillness.

Especially seeing how the members of his own clan bowed with such deep reverence before the God Sovereign of the Sun's Dominion, the forces of the Primordial and the Pastoral God Clans could no longer bear to face the very armies that had once been their enemies.

"The outcome is sealed."

"The war has finally ended."

Zhou Zhan reached this point, and finally exhaled in relief.

On the Supreme Continent, he no longer had any worries.

Now, he could fully dedicate himself to developing in the Ultimate Void Battlefield.

Zhou Zhan thought of this.

Then, he thought of his original form, leisurely watching the drama unfold within the Divine Realm.

His face instantly darkened.

"Our original form—how utterly masterful it has become at conserving itself."

"Even in the early days of the Multiverse Lords' rivalry, this creature had at least accompanied the main army on several campaigns."

"Since acquiring the Body-Splitting Technique, it has never joined the army, never handled state affairs, merely sitting day after day within the Palace of Cycles, completing its daily tasks with nothing more than that."

"This personality…"

Zhou Zhan's anger subsided for a moment, then suddenly broke into a smile.

The original form—such a form is perfectly fine.

After all, as long as the original remains safe, these fragments are truly secure. Even if the fragments perish, the original can revive by consuming its essence.

But if the original perishes, then all these fragments will be utterly destroyed.

Then, He began to consider how to handle the Source and the Emperor.

Just as He was forming a thought—

In the heavens above the Chaotic Sea,

A boundless, pure white light suddenly appeared out of nowhere, swiftly coalescing into a single, pure white eye.

The Eye of Supreme Power!

Zhou Zhan stiffened, his expression calm and respectful as he said:

"Greetings, Lord of the Supreme Will!"

"Greetings, Lord of the Supreme Will!"

Yuan He Di Huang's face flushed with deep fear, instantly kneeling on the ground, trembling in panic.

The Supreme Eye, however, did not look at these two "criminals." Instead, its gaze settled firmly upon Zhou Zhan.

It stared at Zhou Zhan, as if seeing within those eyes the very Zhou Zhou observing this very moment.

Far within the realm of the Divine Kingdom, Zhou Zhou rose reluctantly, bowing respectfully:

"Greetings, Lord of the Supreme Will."

"Do you seem displeased?"

The Supreme Eye spoke from the Chaos Sea.

"How dare I?" Zhou Zhou chuckled in the realm of the Divine Kingdom. "This war has been quite perilous—never expected these guys to summon a Tier-4 Supreme God, let alone one of the top-tier Tier-4 Supreme Gods."

"If it weren't for my backup, I'd have been wiped out entirely."

"It won't happen."

The Eye of Supreme Power said. "With the card you hold in your hand, and with all your abilities fully unleashed, the Shadow King, Supreme God of Crimson, will not stand a chance against you."

"Unfortunately, I didn't get to witness you at full power—those were the very trials I wanted to see."

"As a lord, leading from the front and engaging in direct combat—no, that's not the image of a lord I envision."

Zhou Zhou shook his head, disagreeing with the Supreme Will's assessment.

"You're right in that."

"Every lord has their own path, just as the Lord's Law gives rise to ten thousand different Supreme Gods. You too must forge your own path as a lord."

"The fact that you have such thoughts and dare to challenge my advice—this is commendable."

"Not to be outdone, this is precisely the one I personally selected as a candidate for Supreme Lordship."

Upon hearing Zhou Zhou's rebuttal, the Eye of Supreme Power did not grow displeased—rather, it grew more satisfied than ever.

"I have witnessed every detail of this incident, yet I chose not to intervene. I wanted this very event to serve as your trial, a proving ground to demonstrate your worth."

"You have only recently been appointed as a candidate for Supreme Lordship. Among the three other candidates for Supreme Lordship, and among the will-presences surrounding me, most of them have been eager to assess your capabilities, to determine whether you truly deserve this position."

"They have already seen your performance today."

"Following today's events, the doubts surrounding your appointment as a Supreme Lordship candidate will be reduced by more than half."

"You have done exceedingly well."

"I can grant you two rewards," said the Eye of Supreme Power.
