Chapter 1519: Bai Yun and Nefarian's Promotion to Supreme God! One Googol Troops!

Chapter 1519: Bai Yun, Nasaario Ascend to Supreme Deity! A Trillion Forces!

At this thought, Zhou Zhou's mind stirred, and he summoned these two legendary dragon clans before him.

As the two legendary dragons instantaneously materialized before him and beheld him, they immediately bowed with reverence:

"Subservient Phantasmic Spirit Dragon / Numerical Faith God Dragon, bowing to the Celestial Emperor, to the Future Supreme Commander of the Highest Sovereign."

"Good day," said Zhou Zhou, smiling gently at the two legendary dragons.

Then, he began to converse with them—mostly with the Numerical Faith God Dragon, for the latter was far more enigmatic than most legendary dragons, and rarely initiated contact with the dragon kin. Even though Zhou Zhou possessed numerous dragon bloodlines, including those of legendary dragons, he still knew little about the Numerical Faith God Dragon.

Phantasmic Spirit Dragon, observing this scene, remained unmoved and even joined in the conversation with the Numerical Faith God Dragon.

Then, Zhou Zhou and the Numerical Faith God Dragon noticed that this Phantasmic Spirit Dragon was simply a chatterbox—once a topic was raised, he would go on endlessly, yet what he said was truly vast and deeply informative.

Just as Zhou Zhou and the Numerical Faith God Dragon were about to find an excuse to end the conversation, a Supreme God descended from the heavens.

It is the Mechanical Primordial God—Zero!

"Zero, you're here too."

Panji Linglong expressed surprise.

"Zero."

Shu Xin Shenlong spoke calmly.

"Your Majesty,"

"Also, to the Panji Linglong, and to the Shu Xin Shenlong."

The Mechanical Primordial God—Zero—began by respectfully addressing Zhou Zhou, then greeted Panji Linglong and Shu Xin Shenlong.

"How did you suddenly arrive?"

Zhou Zhou asked curiously.

This one is usually lost in research and the creation of more diverse and advanced machine lifeforms, so even when one sees him, it's rare to catch a glimpse of his face.

"Perceiving the presence of an old friend, I've come to see you."

The Mechanical Overlord explained, then turned his gaze toward the Numerical Divine Dragon.

Zhouzhou suddenly understood.

So the Mechanical Overlord and the Numerical Divine Dragon were old friends.

That makes perfect sense.

One is the chieftain of the Machine Race, who reveres the laws of technology; across the infinite realms, no other civilization can rival its technological advancement. The other is the guardian deity of the technological civilization. It's entirely natural that they should be close friends, even companions.

"Go talk with each other," Zhouzhou said quickly, then turned to the Phantom World Dragon. "It seems you also know Zero. Why don't you go chat with him too?"

"Sure."

The Phantasmal Spirit Dragon exclaimed with delight.

Mechanical Supreme God - Zero: "..."

The Numbered Divine Dragon: "..."

Soon, these three figures vanished.

Zhou Zhou exhaled a deep breath of relief, and then proceeded to the Jade Capital Immortal Mountain, spending 1,000 Jing-level lower-tier divine spirit crystals to summon 100 Jing-level heavenly generals and heavenly commanders.

The heavenly generals and commanders summoned thus, comprised of 99 Jing-level heavenly generals all possessing Epic Upper-tier strength, while the remaining one Jing-level soldier was of Legendary Upper-tier strength—this single unit consisting entirely of heavenly commanders and heavenly generals.

At that very moment,

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!...

A total of 2,959 columns of various law-based light erupted skyward from the direction of the Cycle Holy Palace!

Seeing this, Zhou Zhou's face broke into a smile.

This was the True God from yesterday's breakthrough—after a single night, it had finally ascended from True God rank to Sub-Prime God status.

Excellent!

Last time, only a little over a thousand True Gods had reached Prime God rank.

This time, it nearly tripled, reaching nearly 2,900 newly elevated Prime Gods.

Such a record—worthy of etching itself into history once again.

Yet, this achievement must be "credited" to the Lotus Flame Supreme God and the Fire Poison Supreme God from yesterday.

Without these two masters of war domains, leading their ultimate void soldiers into attack, forcing them to expend their energies, the energy required for ascension would have been impossible to gather. Had it not been for their intervention, I could not have achieved such a massive number of True Gods ascending to Prime God status within just one day.

Meanwhile, the gods across the myriad realms naturally witnessed the nearly three thousand beams of ascension.

They watched in silence.

Last time, over a thousand Prime Gods had ascended simultaneously.

This time, over two thousand nine hundred primary deities simultaneously ascended.

It appears to be a massive leap.

Yet, for them, it holds no significance.

After all, whether it's over a thousand newly risen primary deities or nearly three thousand—there is little difference in their eyes.

All are still beings worthy of profound reverence.

"I think, at this point, it would be utterly unsurprising if the Sunlight Realm suddenly birthed a Supreme Deity."

"Ha ha, I feel the same way. With nearly three thousand primary deities emerging, what's strange about a Supreme Deity appearing?"

"You're vastly overestimating the Common Sovereign. Though a primary deity and a Supreme Deity differ by only one rank, the chasm between them—do you not see it? A Supreme Deity has already forged their own complete law path, and in the future, they may shatter the limits of divinity, ascending to the noble realm of Supreme Will. A primary deity, however, is merely beginning to tread the path of creation. Even though the Common Sovereign commands so many new primary deities, could he possibly birth a Supreme Deity? Impossible! Impossible! Impossible!"

"There's truth in that. Throughout the evolution of the Supreme Cosmos, we currently possess only over ten thousand Supreme Deities. How long has the Common Sovereign risen? Even with the aid of Supreme Will beings, I doubt he possesses the depth or foundation to nurture a Supreme Deity."

"Have you no knowledge that the Common Sovereign has already gathered numerous Supreme Deities as vassals within the Ultimate Void Battlefield?"

"As far as I know, the supreme deities venerated by the Celestial Sovereign are not the same as those he has manipulated through his unique laws—those are the ones he has lured in through cunning strategy, while the ones he has cultivated to serve his own power are entirely different."

"I think… wait, look at that!?"

The gods stiffened, turning their gaze immediately.

And then they froze.

Amidst the endless expanse of stars, two utterly distinct celestial phenomena had suddenly emerged.

Each phenomenon was so vast and brilliant that even the Supreme Stars of the Sun and the Moon could not conceal their dazzling presence.

One spectacle depicted a general leading thousands of troops in a merciless charge across a battlefield, slaughtering enemies with unrelenting fury.

The other showed a black holy dragon, its blood-red eyes fixed with predatory hunger upon the depths of the abyss, gazing out into the infinite realms beyond.

Both were extraordinary visions woven together from the celestial stars of divine realms.

What stunned the gods most was that the very stars linking these two phenomena were not the stars of ordinary deities nor those of true gods—but the stars of the Supreme Deity's own realm.

Each of these celestial phenomena was constructed from countless stars of the divine realms of the Supreme Deities!

"This..."

No deity, no true god, no Supreme God could speak—shocked into silence.

After an unknown length of time, a venerable Supreme God, who had lived for ten thousand years, finally broke the stillness, his voice hoarse and strained:

"Built upon the foundation of the Supreme Deity Realm, the celestial constellations of the Supreme Sovereigns have been forged."

"This is the result of two Supreme Deities simultaneously transcending the peak of divinity—the Highest Gods!"

"And both of them hail from the Sun Divine Realm!"

"Two Supreme Gods have emerged from the ranks of the Celestial Emperor’s domain...!"

...

Silence.

All deities were stunned by the news, unable to utter a word.

The Supreme Deity, the pinnacle of the divine path, is born with immeasurable difficulty!

This is evident from the vast number of Primordial Deities across the entire Supreme Cosmic Expanse, yet the Supreme Deity remains a mere ten thousand in number.

Yet this Celestial Emperor, who journeyed from myriad realms to the Supreme Continent, becoming the Lord of a hundred races, and then ascending to the Fourth Reserve Rank of Supreme Lord, had only been there for how long?

Less than a year—perhaps even less!

In less than a year, he not only attained the rank of Fourth Reserve Supreme Lord, but even the Supreme Deity, standing at the very apex of the divine realm, had given birth to two!

To merely conceive of this was beyond comprehension.

How could this be possible?

When did the Supreme Deity become so easily born?

Not even the Supreme Deity could have been so easily created.

For ordinary noble factions, birthing a mere lower-tier divine being would be no easy feat.

The gods felt that what was unfolding now was challenging their very understanding of reality.

At the same time,

Zhou Zhou watched the celestial blossoms of ascension manifesting in the heavens, especially the two extraordinary phenomena of ascension to the highest godhood. Without hesitation, he nodded in satisfaction.

He immediately recognized the source of those two supreme ascension phenomena—White Yun and Narsario.

No waste of effort in bestowing upon them two drops of Will Source and those top-tier inheritances.

They had indeed not let him down, ascending seamlessly to the rank of highest god.

Yet, a question arose in his mind.

If both White Yun and Narsario, upon ascending to the first tier of highest godhood, displayed such astonishing ascension phenomena,

then what of himself?

He himself had just ascended to the first-tier Supreme God—how hadn’t he noticed the signs of his own transcendence?

As Zhou Zhou pondered this, one by one, lines of text appeared before his eyes.

[Supreme Will Notification: The scope of your transcendence aura is overwhelmingly vast. If left unchecked, it could cause immense consequences. Within our Supreme Cosmos, there exists a hidden enemy—the faction of Delusion. Should they learn of your transcendence, you would be in grave danger.

[Supreme Will Notification: The path taken by the Delusion faction is entirely alien to ours, their methods more elusive and treacherous. For your safety, I have dispersed the signs of your ascension.]

[Supreme Will Notification: You may not be pleased by this. Then allow me to offer compensation: should any of your subordinates—higher-ranking gods or supreme deities—seek to ascend to Supreme Godhood, I shall bestow upon them a surge of divine fortune, increasing their chances of successful ascension by 20%. This blessing will last only seven days. Make the most of it, then.]

Upon reading this, Zhou Zhou’s eyes lit up with sudden delight.

The notion of transcendence signs—naturally insignificant, merely a superficial display. It had no bearing on his actual ascension or future potential. It was simply a public announcement to the gods across the multiverse that he had reached Supreme Godhood.

He didn’t need such hollow fame.

To him, tangible benefits were everything.

"An increase in the success rate of ascending to Supreme God by 20%—that’s a substantial boost."

"Someone must remind my senior deities and chief gods that when the time comes for ascension, they must act with unwavering determination—there is no room for hesitation."

"Otherwise, once the moment passes, it can never be reclaimed."

Zhou Zhou thought this over and then relayed it to Zhou Zheng, asking him to arrange it.

Zhou Zheng nodded, understanding fully, and pledged to personally handle the matter, ensuring that as many chief deities and senior gods as possible would successfully ascend to the rank of Supreme Deity during this opportunity.

Still, speaking of it now—

He had waited for over an hour in the vast expanse of the cosmos, and only then did the signs of ascension begin to fade.

When all the ascension phenomena had finally dissipated, he saw a total of 2,961 columns of colored laws shooting out from the Palace of Cycles and swiftly settling around Zhou Zhou.

Precisely the 2,959 newly ascended chief gods—just barely completed their promotion!

And also, Bai Yun and Narsario, the two newly crowned Supreme Deities!

Upon their arrival, they immediately knelt before Zhou Zhou in unison, bowing with deep respect and reverence.

"Your Majesty, we have seen you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for bestowing upon us the sacred lineage. We have all successfully ascended to the rank of subordinate divine beings of the Supreme God!"

After speaking, Bai Yun and Narsario also echoed with respectful and grateful tones:

"Your Majesty / Master!"

"Bai Yun / Narsario has successfully ascended to the rank of First-Class Supreme God!"

"You have not let me down, truly."

Zhou Zhan smiled and nodded. Then he said, "As usual, we will hold a grand ceremony tonight to mark your ascension. Additionally, I, Bai Yun, and Narsario have all successfully reached the rank of First-Class Supreme God."

"To save time, we will not conduct separate ceremonies. Let us combine all the rites into one. It will be more efficient, more timely, and conserve resources."

"But this grand ceremony shall be led by me, with you all as supporting figures. Will you not find that acceptable?"

Zhou Zhou smiled, gazing around at the newly ascended Supreme Gods, Bai Yun, and Narsario.

The newly ascended deities, Bai Yun, and Narsario all paused, stunned for a moment, before many of the gods' faces lit up with ecstatic joy.

"Agreed! We agree!"

"We're certainly willing to do that!"

"Let me be clear—don't even talk about being a mere sidekick. Even if they won't let me perform the ritual of ascension, just letting me participate would be more than enough for me to say yes!"

...

At this point, the gods themselves realized the magnitude of the offer, their faces alight with overwhelming excitement.

This was an ascension ritual to be conducted alongside the Emperor himself—an event akin to witnessing one's idol get married, and discovering that one's own name has been included in the guest list, even granted the honor of being a bridesmaid or groomsmen.

What a glory!

How could they possibly refuse?

This would become the family's greatest tale of honor, to be passed down through generations.

Other deities, upon hearing this, felt both envy and jealousy, yet also hatred toward themselves for failing to ascend to the rank of First Supreme God—otherwise, they too would have been able to participate.

"Very well."

"Then that's settled."

Seeing that none of them objected, and in fact seemed eager, Zhou Zhou smiled and nodded in agreement.

Then he and these newly ascended deities chatted for a while longer before bestowing upon each of them a set of suitable subordinate divine artifacts tailored to their status as chief deities.

As for Bai Yun and Nesarion, Zhou Zhou was even more generous, giving each of them a complete set of First Supreme God artifacts perfectly aligned with their respective divine laws and paths.

Then he sent them off to find Zheng Yuanqi to claim their official duties and divine stipends.

After they had departed, Zhou Zhan quietly calculated the strength of his main combat forces under his command.

Adding to this the 4,000 Jing of newly recruited and reclassified Jing soldiers today, 66.666 billion 66.66 million 600 pure-blooded dragon race, 100 Jing of heavenly soldiers, and the 2,959 newly promoted chief deities, plus two newly ascended Supreme Gods.

The total strength of his forces had now reached 1 yao 455 jing 8233 zhao 2633 billion 7231 million 3271 soldiers, 81.3 billion 2480 million 1811 divine beings, 1.8 billion 430.5 million 8325 true gods, 47,616 chief deities, and 33 Supreme Gods.

Zhou Zhou calculated it all, and a smile bloomed on his lips.

At last, a full realm of forces!

Such forces, within the Supreme Deity's power, ranked as the core strength of their ranks!

With this full realm of forces, even facing the very top-tier Supreme Deity factions across the myriad heavens and realms, he would not fear them.
