Chapter 1415: Three Ten Sacred Blessings Lord Talents

Chapter 1415: The Three Tens of Sacred Guardian Lords' Innate Talents

"This is my three conditions."

"Will you accept them?"

"We accept!"

The Source and the Emperor erupted into ecstatic reverence, bowing deeply and chanting "We accept!" over and over again.

This Supreme Lord-in-Training, having neither sent their souls spiraling into oblivion nor stripped them of their divine realms—merely proposing two requirements that fallen warriors should have done anyway—how could they possibly not rejoice?

After all, wealth and treasures could always be regained.

Though the slave race would be humbling, as long as their lives and strength remained intact, it was not a disaster. And even this was only a temporary servitude.

A hundred million years may seem endless, yet even low-tier divine beings, even junior deities, possess eternal lives. A hundred million years might be long, but with patience, it could be endured.

As for becoming a corpse god—though tragic and ending any possibility of further ascension—so long as they still "lived," everything else became secondary.

So it stands, the demands put forth by the Noble Reserve of the Supreme Lord have already proven to be the most favorable outcome possible for them.

Thinking thus,

the Emperor and the Divine even felt a measure of gratitude toward the Noble Reserve of the Supreme Lord.

"Thank you, Noble Reserve of the Supreme Lord!"

"Thank you, Noble Reserve of the Supreme Lord!"

Both deities were overwhelmed with thanks.

They could not have imagined—

that such a heinous transgression on their part should be met with such a lenient punishment!

It was as though the ministers had conspired against the Prince, only for the Prince to be rescued, and upon investigation, the conspirators were merely punished with the removal of the ringleaders, confiscation of property, and reduction to servitude—rather than being executed in their entirety.

What a miracle of misfortune!

Zhou Zhou looked at them with a cold, detached expression.

The reason for such a lenient punishment was simple.

As a reserve Supreme Lord, he had already regarded the lives of all the myriad races across the heavens as future subjects of his own.

If he allowed himself to indulge in the satisfaction of wiping out every single member of these three clans from top to bottom, the thrill would be immense.

Yet from a long-term perspective, should he truly become the official Supreme Lord in the future, this would actually weaken his own power.

Since the plan to surround and eliminate them was proposed jointly by the Tian Su Wu, the Source, and the Emperor, he would only need to eliminate the ringleaders.

As for the rest of the members of the three clans, there was no necessity to exterminate them.

After all, in the future, they would all be his soldiers.

As to why Zhou Zhou had passed over the Tian Su Wu entirely, it was because that creature was rather peculiar.

Even now, Zhou Zhou couldn't fathom the confidence of this being.

Even when Zhou Zhou privately asked Bodhi Master, Bodhi Master merely shrugged with an air of ignorance.

This truly startled Zhou Zhou.

In the myriad realms across the cosmos, Bodhi Master was known to be ignorant of almost nothing.

To date,

Zhou Zhou had only discovered one instance—on a fragmented, delusional legend of the Sacred Seal—where Bodhi Master himself held a lack of knowledge.

Now, the Heavenly Curse Beast is the second.

Zhou Zhou has always been wary of such enigmatic entities, thus he has taken no action against the Heavenly Curse Beast, instead entrusting it to the Supreme Will.

"By the way."

"Hand over your ten Sacred Guardians' talent holders to me."

Zhou Zhan suddenly said.

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Yuan and the Emperor dared not ask further. With a mere thought, they saw an epic-level female Primordial Spirit Clan member and an epic-intermediate male Pastoral God Clan member appear before Zhou Zhan.

Before these fallen warriors could comprehend what had happened, they saw Zhou Zhan glance at them—then, without a sound, their breaths vanished, and they collapsed to the ground, sleeping peacefully.

Zhou Zhan did not care that other deities were watching around him. With a gentle flick of his right hand, he extracted every single prize from their bodies.

The result? Two Mythic-level, Unique Master Talents Spheres and 42 Mythic-level, Unique Master Talent Crystal Fragments.

All other spoils were utterly insignificant.

Zhou Zhou gazed at the two Mythic-level, Unique Master Talents Spheres.

[Item Name: Master Talent Sphere – Protection of the Primordial Supreme God's Origin]

[Item Rank: Mythic-level · Unique]

[Item Effect: After absorption, the Lord shall possess the Mythic-Class, Unique Lord's Talent – The Protection of the Primordial Supreme God!]

[Item Description: A Lord's Talent Sphere originating from the common people of the Primordial Spirit Clan; upon absorption, one gains a Mythic-Class, Unique Lord's Talent.]

...

[Item Name: Lord's Talent Sphere – The Protection of the Universal God-Emperor of the Pantheon]

[Item Rank: Mythic-Class – Unique]

[Item Effect: After absorption, the Lord shall possess the Mythic-Class, Unique Lord's Talent – The Protection of the Universal God-Emperor of the Pantheon!]

[Item Description: A Lord's Talent Sphere originating from the common people of the Pastoral God Clan; upon absorption, one gains a Mythic-Class, Unique Lord's Talent.]

...

Zhou Zhan saw these two Lord's Talent Spheres and a faint smile curled at the corner of his lips.

The Ten Divine Protectors' Lord's Talent – he now possesses eight!

Two of the Ten Holy Guardians' innate powers remain—once assembled, He shall possess all ten.

One resides upon the Heaven-Cursed Beast.

The other, the Ten Holy Guardians' innate power originating from Thanatos, the God of Death—its whereabouts are simple to discover.

Just ask Bodhi Master.

Yet…

"Now that the Abyss has fallen, and the Underworld now borders the Abyss, I hope no unforeseen calamity arises."

Zhou Zhou furrowed his brow, thinking.

Then, through Zhou Zhan's eyes, He gazed upon the Heaven-Cursed Beast.

"Heaven-Cursed Beast."

"Shall I have you deliver it personally, or shall I seek it myself?"

"You should know, if I were to search on my own, it would merely consume some time."

Zhou Zhan spoke coldly.

The Tian Su Monster remained silent.

Suddenly.

An Epic-tier Bai Ze appeared before the Tian Su Monster.

"Old Master..."

The Tian Su Monster seemed momentarily bewildered.

The next instant,

He was slain by Zhou Zhou using sheer willpower, and instantly transported, his spoils seized—among them, the Ten Sacred Guardians' Talents of the Chaotic Beast God, the Tian Su Monster.

"Excellent!"

Zhou Zhan, after inspecting everything and confirming there were no issues, could not help but smile.

The day when all ten Sacred Divinely Endowed Lords' talents would be fully assembled was drawing near.

Yet he did not immediately absorb these three Mythic-Class, Unique Lords' talents. Instead, he turned to the Supreme Eye in the heavens, bowing with due reverence:

"Supreme Will, Great One."

"I have taken care of my end. The remainder, I leave to your final judgment."

The Supreme Eye, upon hearing this, first fixed its gaze upon Yuan and the Emperor, then spoke slowly:

"Since the Supreme Lord in Preparation spared your lives, your punishment shall follow the decision of the Supreme Lord in Preparation. I shall not intervene."

Only then did Yuan and the Emperor finally exhale in relief, overwhelmed with gratitude and tears in their eyes:

"Thank you, Great One of Supreme Will, for your boundless grace!"

Then he bowed solemnly to Zhou Zhan:

"Thanks to the Reserve of the Supreme Lord, the Source/Emperor will forever remember this grace!"

Zhou Zhan nodded faintly.

At last, the Supreme Will turned its gaze upon the celestial curse beast, long neglected.

The celestial curse beast's divine form suddenly trembled.

Then, through the eyes of the Supreme, a voice—only Zhou Zhou could hear—spoke coldly:

"Celestial Curse Beast."

"Unbelievable. After all these years, having brought you from the realm of illusion into the realm of reality, you still remain so uncooperative."
