Chapter 1423: War Summary!
Chapter 1423: War Summary!
"According to what I've gathered, the Demon Brother seems to have been residing here for over one hundred and twenty million years."
Zhou Zhan's mind held the collective wisdom of countless races, and thus he was well acquainted with this matter.
"Yes,"
"The elder brother has been here for over one hundred and twenty million years."
The Master of Ten Thousand Demons spoke in a deep, resonant tone. "Over these one hundred and twenty million years, I have tried every conceivable method, endured countless setbacks and perils. Yet, I have still failed to repel those ultimate void beings. Let alone bring this war to a complete end."
"You have seen my forces yourself!"
The Master of Ten Thousand Demons gestured behind him toward the army of the Ten Thousand Demons.
"One hundred billion deities! Hundreds of millions of true gods! Ten thousand master gods!"
"Even among the supreme gods, I have several of my own!"
"But even such a force, I still cannot fully overcome those ultimate void beings. Even now, we have only captured fifteen percent of the entire void battlefield's territory."
"Do you think you could do better than me?"
The Supreme Demon Lord's expression was gloomy.
When he was first sent here by the Supreme Will, wasn't it precisely with the hope that he would eliminate the threat posed by the ultimate void beings—and perhaps, in doing so, ascend to the rank of Supreme Lord?
Yet so many years have passed.
Not only has he failed to drive out those ultimate void beings, but even the territory of the ultimate void battlefield, personally established by the Supreme Will, has been seized by them in over ninety percent of its expanse.
As a result, the very forces who should have been fighting on home ground are now reduced to fighting as guests in a foreign land.
This is not merely a matter of embarrassment.
More importantly, it is.
He had lost the chance to demonstrate to the Supreme Will that he was capable of becoming the Supreme Lord.
Now, in the eyes of the Supreme Will,
he was nothing but a failure, incapable of fulfilling what it had expected of him.
He may still appear to hold the status of a reserve Supreme Lord,
yet in truth, he was growing ever farther from the throne of Supreme Lord.
The fact that the Supreme Lord had ignored him for so many years was evident.
And now, the dispatch of a fourth reserve Supreme Lord to this realm—this proved beyond doubt that the Supreme Will had utterly lost patience, and thus sent this mortal emperor of the world to replace him.
With this thought in mind,
the Master of a Hundred Evils glanced at Zhou Zhou without a trace of movement.
If, before this emperor of the world, I had ended the war with the ultimate void beings, would I then regain my standing in the Supreme Will’s heart?
Could I even regain a foothold upon the throne of Supreme Lord?
This idea flashed through His mind like a fleeting spark.
Then He shook His head, a bitter smile playing at the corners of His lips.
If He could do it, He would have done it long ago—there would be no waiting until today.
Still…
If He himself could not achieve it, then how much more difficult would it be for this Celestial Sovereign of the World to accomplish it?
If He simply surpassed Him in excellence, perhaps His standing within the Supreme Will could be elevated even further!
The Universal Demon Sovereign's mind clicked into place, and the thought returned to Him instantly.
At once,
a surge of determination stirred within Him.
And upon hearing the other's doubt about His strength, Zhou Zhan merely smiled faintly:
"Some things can't be proven by mere words—they must be done to show their truth."
Upon hearing this, the Lord of Ten Thousand Evils' face flickered with unmistakable astonishment.
No way.
Can this one not grasp the situation at all? Does he still think he can struggle through it?
Really? Does he believe that, as a mere rookie candidate for Supreme Lord, he stands a chance against the ultimate void beings that this very entity has spent countless ages unable to conquer?
If such creatures were so easily vanquished, they wouldn't even be among the chief threats to the Supreme Will.
Yet, though he scorned the other's audacity, he said nothing mocking, merely smiled faintly:
"Brother, you have quite the boldness."
"Since you're just arriving, I've prepared a welcome feast for you. How about we begin with that?"
"By the way, during the banquet, I'll gladly share with you all about the ultimate void battlefield and the ultimate void beings."
Zhou Zhan initially heard that it was just about eating and drinking and had intended to refuse.
He had just arrived at the Ultimate Void Battlefield, full of confidence and ambition—how could he waste time on such trivial human interactions?
But after hearing the later part, his mind changed.
"Alright."
"Thank you, elder Magus."
Zhou Zhan smiled lightly.
"Hey, what's that about?"
The Supreme Demon Magus waved his hand, then pulled Zhou Zhan into the base planet, where they began a feast.
Meanwhile.
The Proud Sun Kingdom.
Within the Hall of Cyclic Sanctity.
Zhou Zhou was reviewing the daily war report.
Following today's fierce battle against the three great clans, the Sun-Blaze Sovereign Nation had utterly eliminated no fewer than two hundred million Jing military forces, eighty million Chaos Clan deities along with their elite affiliated races and divine spirits, one hundred thousand True Gods, and over three hundred Supreme Gods!
After today's territorial expansion campaign,
the Sun-Blaze Sovereign Nation's armies had amassed approximately eight million Jing units of various-tiered Mist Hearts, Source Crystals, skill books, equipment, and base materials.
Additionally, they had obtained 932 million, 9873 billion, 1231 million, 7698 fragments of Bronze-Level Lord Talent Crystal Shards!
77 million, 8789 Lord Talent Spheres of Legendary Rank and all below!
A vast quantity of other-tiered Lord Talent Crystal Fragments!
And furthermore:
30 Jing, 7838 million, 3421 billion, 30 million units of divine crystals ranging from lower-tier to upper-tier Deity Rank!
120 billion 4873 million 9898 true god-level divine crystals!
23 billion 3492 million 7678 main god-level divine crystals!
874,398 crystals ranging from first to third rank of the highest god-level!
87 million 4332 billion 9879 million pieces of lower to upper god-level divine artifacts—7899 million true divine artifacts, 10,893 main divine artifacts, and 127 highest god-level divine artifacts!
A total of approximately 60 million 10 million plus fragments of divine essence, divine herbs, divine ingredients, divine minerals, divine blueprints, and other such treasures!
23 billion 8798 million 8732 units of main god-level divine herbs, divine ingredients, divine minerals, divine blueprints, and similar treasures!
3,998 pieces of highest god-level divine herbs, divine ingredients, divine minerals, divine blueprints, and similar treasures!
On the front of infiltration.
Since all three clans are equipped with anti-infiltration highest-tier artifacts, there were no gains in infiltration operations.
Nevertheless, the original spirit clan's army and the herds of the pastoral god clan have both become the "slaves" of the Prairielight Divine Nation after this battle—the effect is no less than that of the fated offspring, and perhaps even surpasses it. Currently, the scale of this military force amounts to at least 600 ying armies, 1 billion divine beings, 100,000 true gods, and over 300 main gods. The exact numbers are still being tallied.
And this contingent of forces is currently still being reorganized within the Chaos Sea, requiring some time before they can be delivered to the Prairial Divine Realm.
Additionally, regarding the ascension of deities.
Today, a staggering 100 million, 123 million, 8789 individuals—legendary upper-tier soldiers—have ascended to the rank of lower divine beings!
Furthermore, 8,678 upper-tier divine beings have advanced to the rank of true deities!
Sixteen of the most elite true deities among the human race, and twenty of the most powerful true deities from the non-human races, have sensed the approaching limits of their master-divine thresholds and have formally requested to enter the Palace of the Cycles to meditate and refine themselves, in an attempt to transcend into the realm of master deities!
It is highly probable that they will officially break through tomorrow!
Originally, Zhou Zhou's forces consisted of 210 yin, 2641 zhi, 2410 billion, 5057 million, 9532 soldiers; 200 million, 4038 million, 4609 divine beings; 33,729 true deities, and 129 master deities.
Now, with the addition of these newly ascended divine warriors, the total strength under his command has reached 210 yin, 2641 zhi, 2410 billion, 5057 million, 9532 soldiers; 300 million, 6161 million, 4720 divine beings; 42,407 true deities, and still 129 master deities.
After reviewing this, Zhou Zhou merely nodded slightly.
Though the total numbers of their forces have remained largely unchanged (excluding the Primordial Race and the Herd Deity Clan), the overall strength and combat capability of their soldiers have grown substantially through today's conflict.
Especially in the realm of deities.
Ordinary deities have surged by a full hundred million!
New true gods have also increased by nearly ten thousand!
And the emerging chief gods on the horizon number no less than thirty-six!
This represents an astonishing leap forward!
