Chapter 1427: Rewards

The phenomenon of thirty-six Primordial Sovereigns ascending to godhood has stirred the heavens and all realms!

Innumerable deities immediately turn their gaze toward the source of this celestial spectacle.

When they witness that the manifestation of thirty-six Sovereigns rising to godhood originates from the Sunlight Dominion, most of them react with astonishment—yet beneath that astonishment, a subtle sense of inevitability lingers.

"Thirty-six true gods ascending to the rank of Sovereign today? Oh, it's the Sunlight Dominion—nothing to worry about."

"Thirty-six true gods rising simultaneously? It's completely reshaping my understanding of reality. Absolutely unprecedented."

"Indeed, no wonder the Fourth Reserve Commander of the Supreme Lord is so powerful—he immediately produces thirty-six new Sovereigns. Such a grand ascension event? Not even the three most elite bloodlines of old could have achieved it."

"What do you mean, the three most elite bloodlines? Those three bloodlines have long since declined. Unless someone emerges like Yuan or the Emperor himself."

"Lord Celestial Sovereign, when will you lead your human followers to ascend and become the sole dominant bloodline force in existence?"

...

The deities of countless realms were whispering and murmuring in excitement.

Some even activated the universal chieftain channels or the universal warfare channels, sending congratulatory messages directly to Zhou Zhou.

Zhou Zhou did not respond.

A moment later,

thirty-six streaks of light erupted from the Palace of Cyclic Rebirth, soaring into the sky before descending to rest before Zhou Zhou.

Among them were sixteen newly ascended main deities of the Human race!

And twenty newly ascended main deities of the alien races!

At that moment, all of them knelt half-bowed before Zhou Zhou, with profound reverence and deep gratitude:

"Your Majesty, we bow before you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for bestowing upon us the sacred inheritance. Without it, we could never have achieved such greatness."

"The Master God inheritance is indeed significant, yet your efforts are equally essential to your ascension as Master Gods."

"Stand up now."

"Tonight, the Emperor will hold a grand ceremony to celebrate your promotion to Master God status!"

Zhou Zhou smiled.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Thirty-six newly promoted Master Gods spoke in unison, bowing with reverence.

Zhou Zhou nodded, a gentle smile on his face.

Then, with a wave of his right hand, he saw thirty-six world rings materialize before each of the newly promoted Master Gods.

"Within these thirty-six world rings, each contains a complete set of suitable sub-rune artifacts tailored for you as Master Gods."

"The rules remain unchanged."

"Make good use of the Supreme Divine Artifact I have entrusted to you."

"Perform diligently within the military ranks."

"If you excel, I shall bestow upon you a higher tier of Supreme Divine Heritage!"

Zhou Zhou spoke the last words with solemn gravity.

Now, the Supreme Divine Heritage in his hands had grown substantial—time had come to reveal it, to inspire his subordinates.

Supreme Divine Heritage?!

The thirty-six newly ascended Master Deities, along with the other Master Deities of the Radiant God Realm watching nearby, instantly displayed expressions of disbelief, their breaths quickening.

They knew, without a doubt, that the Emperor’s words were true—after all, in matters of reward, the Emperor had never fallen short. If He claimed to offer Supreme Divine Heritage, it would surely be granted, and perhaps even one tailored precisely for each of them.

With that thought forming in their minds—

Their eyes blazed with fervor.

That was the inheritance of the Supreme God!

A legacy so precious that even the top-tier Primordial Gods among the Ten Great Masters would sell their souls to obtain it.

How invaluable such a transmission truly was!

Could the Emperor—himself—be willing to accept it for himself?

"Long live the Emperor!"

"We will perform magnificently, never failing to meet your expectations!"

The newly ascended Primordial Gods shouted in unison.

"Your Majesty, if we perform exceptionally, may we also compete for the inheritance of the Supreme God?"

A god among the onlookers, impatient and eager, spoke out.

The other principal deities also wore expressions of eager anticipation.

Among them, the faces of the Ten Principal Deities—especially that of the War God, Teres—were the most filled with yearning and hope.

"Of course, it's possible."

"As long as you achieve great feats, every mortal deity shall be eligible to receive the Supreme Deity's inheritance in my hands."

"Let me add this upfront."

"The inheritance of the Supreme Deity is scarce—only a few exist—and it follows the principle of first come, first served. Once it's gone, it will never return."

Zhou Zhou smiled.

Upon hearing this, the various deities erupted in cheers, their eyes blazing with ambition.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhou smiled gently and then sensed the current baseline potential of the Human Race.

To elevate the Human Race's baseline potential from Epic to Legendary, fifty new Human Principal Deities would be required.

Now, with the addition of these sixteen newly ascended human realm main deities, He would only need to bring in another thirty-four human realm deities in the future to raise the human realm's potential floor to legendary junior level.

Zhou Zhou nodded silently within his heart.

Thirty-four newly ascended deities of the human realm—naturally, not a challenge for Him now.

Perhaps just three or four days, and He would gather them all, raising the human realm's potential floor accordingly.

Then He sent these new deities to seek Feng Luo, assigning them their future roles. Meanwhile, He arrived at Zhou Chengmin's place.

Yet today, there were still no goods sufficiently captivating Him, leaving Him somewhat disheartened.

"Your Majesty, why not come back in a few years? That way, the subordinates could accumulate goods over time, and perhaps one day something exactly to Your Majesty's liking might emerge," Zhou Chengmin suggested, unable to hold back.

"Alright, I don't have much to do anyway—let's just browse around."

Zhou Zhou waved his hand, dismissing the suggestion.

He still rather enjoyed this daily "opening blind boxes" sensation, even though he was likely to get nothing but good—just savoring the act of opening them.

"When I elevate my Supreme Divine Body to the level of Supreme God, I'll surely elevate this Lord's Marketplace as well."

Zhou Zhou thought to himself.

Then, seizing the opportunity, he purchased all the available items and, as he returned to the Cycle Palace, ordered Zhou Wu to lead the army to the Chaos Sea to gather the Chaos Divine Treasures.

With Zhou Zhan, the primary combat avatar, currently absent, they would have to temporarily rely on Zhou Wu and Fei Luo to lead the forces in collecting the Chaos Divine Treasures.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wu immediately accepted and set off.

...

The Chaos Sea.

When Zhou Wu led the army to the Chaos Sea, with the aid of Bodhi's mastery, they swiftly spotted the Time-Space Chaos Demon and the other ten Chaos Demons accompanying it.

"Your Majesty, we are at your service."

The Temporal-Spatial Chaos Deity and Demon saw Zhou Wu and immediately bowed with reverence.

"Are you truly keeping your word?"

"Has it really come to pass—ten Chaos Deities and Demons?"

Zhou Wu, gazing at the ten Chaos Deities and Demons behind the Temporal-Spatial Chaos Deity and Demon, each radiating distinct principles of law, spoke with a touch of astonishment.

"Only the loss of a single Chaos Divine Treasure could yield four primary Divine Artifacts.

Such a transaction, one that guarantees absolute profit, is not something every Chaos Deity and Demon dares to refuse."

The Temporal-Spatial Chaos Deity and Demon smiled.

Zhou Wu nodded.

This Temporal-Spatial Chaos Deity and Demon truly is a talent.

One worthy of careful cultivation.

Thinking of this,

Zhou Wu raised his right hand, and instantly saw a divine herb appear in his grasp, which he then tossed before the Time-Space Chaos God-Monster.

"This is a first-tier supreme god-level artifact—the Time-Space Ghost Grass. It is exceptionally effective in replenishing the original essence of time-space laws, and greatly enhances a master god's comprehension of time-space principles."

"You were stripped of your Chaos God Artifact yesterday, and lost a significant portion of your original essence, haven't you? Here, take this as a reward. Return and rest well. Strive to bring me even more Chaos God Monsters for trade."

Zhou Wu spoke indifferently.
