Chapter 1522: Requirements for Advancing to Advanced Main God Kingdom! Upgrade Summoning Gate!

Chapter 1522: The Demand for Advancement to Senior Supreme God Realm! Upgrading the Summoning Gate!

Zhou Zhou tucked away the Four-Directional Divine Wheel.

Then he opened the Mid-Level Supreme God Realm treasure chest.

And there, inside, he found something astonishing—a single drop of rainbow water.

The Source of Will!

"Could a Mid-Level Supreme God Realm treasure chest contain a drop of the Source of Will?"

"Great catch! Great catch!"

Zhou Zhou's eyes sparkled with delight.

This artifact—the Source of Will—had once propelled him directly from the early stage of Willful Immortal to the mid-stage of Willful Immortal.

A relic capable of enhancing the will of the highest deities, appearing within a Mid-Level Supreme God Realm chest? This surpassed every expectation he had ever harbored.

"Who shall receive this source of willpower?"

Zhou Zhou pondered it.

This drop of willpower would serve him little. He could already sense that within just a few days, he would ascend from mid-phase of willful transcendence to late-phase of willful transcendence—no need for this source at all.

Moreover, it was uncertain whether this source even could aid his advancement to late-phase willful transcendence.

Deep within his being, he felt a quiet intuition: this thing might simply fail.

Thus, he decided to bestow it upon his subordinates, just as he had given it to Bai Yun and Nesarion.

He thought for a moment, then shook his head, and tossed it directly into the military merit exchange system.

Well.

Enough hesitation.

Whoever obtains it—shall have it.

This was also the most fair method.

Then He opened the Divine Realm Information Panel and reviewed the requirements for advancing to a High-Level Master God Realm.

[Realm Name: The Realm of Radiant Sun]

[Realm Sovereign: Sovereign of Radiant Sun]

[Realm Rank: Intermediate Master God Realm]

[Realm Flag: Stars Circling the Sun]

[Realm Armies: Radiant Sun Army (Subordinate of Master God), Monster Army (Subordinate of Master God), Dragon God Army (Subordinate of Master God), Multinational Army (Subordinate of Master God), Heaven's Map Army (Subordinate of Master God), Homeland Defense Army (Superior to Master God)]

[Requirements for Advancement to a High-Level Master God Realm: Territory Rank upgraded to Superior Master God Level, 10,000 Superior Master God Crystals, Conquest of 100 Advanced God Realms under the command of the Crimson Sovereigns (0/100), Conquest of 50 Advanced God Realms not under the command of the Crimson Sovereigns (0/50), Conquest of three Primary Master God Realm Lord Territories under the command of the Crimson Sovereigns (0/3), Conquest of one Primary Master God Realm Lord Territory not under the command of the Crimson Sovereigns (0/1), Conquest of any 500 Advanced God Realm Lord Powers and possession of their Superior Master God Realm Order (0/500), 5 billion independent territorial domains, 1 million deities of one's own race in worship, 50 relics of one's own race (45/50), 1,000 deities of one's own race at Master God level (1,000/1,000), the Lord's own power level reaching Superior Master God Level!]

After reading it through, Zhou Zhou's brow slightly twitched.

Among the requirements for this upgrade, He found himself lacking in numerous conditions.

Of all the things that concerned Him most, it was the need to conquer the territories of junior Supreme God Realm Lords.

"Already requiring the conquest of Supreme God Realm Lord territories?"

Zhou Zhou furrowed his brow slightly.

Could any other force besides Him establish such junior Supreme God Realm lord territories now?

Suddenly, a phrase once given to Him by Bodhi Master came to mind.

Encouraging more lordly factions to establish Supreme God-level domains benefits not only the Supreme Will, but also benefits Him directly.

"Ah, so this is where the benefit lies for me."

Zhou Zhou murmured to himself.

He pondered it briefly, then dismissed it.

After all, merely gathering the 5000 units of Chaotic God Treasures needed to upgrade the territory would be sufficient to prepare for a considerable period.

During this period, perhaps other elite god-kingdom lord factions could gather the Chaos Divine Artifact and upgrade their territories.

"No."

"Besides relying on those elite god-kingdom lord factions, I can personally cultivate and support factions, elevating them to the rank of Junior Supreme God Kingdom Lord Territories."

"Then I can subdue them—thus fulfilling the requirement: 'Conquer one Junior Supreme God Kingdom Lord Territory not under the command of a Crimson Sovereign (0/1)'"

Zhou Zhou suddenly realized this.

As for whom to support?

Naturally, his own Stellar Alliance!

They were the most worthy of cultivation!

"Zero."

Zhou Zhou suddenly spoke.

He was calling upon the intelligent life of the Eternal Mothership, not the Mechanical Primal God.

"Your Majesty, Zero is here."

Zero responded instantly.

"Within the Star Alliance under my command, who is the lord with the highest territory level, and what tier have they reached?"

Zhou Zhou asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the highest territory level among your subordinates belongs to the Spirit Medicine Divine Lord, Ling'er. Her territory has reached the level of a primary divine kingdom."

"In addition, the territories of the Blue Phoenix Divine Lord, the Golden Merchant Divine Lord, and the Heavenly Farmer Divine Lord have also reached the level of advanced imperial lords."

"The highest is Ling'er, and even she is only at the primary divine kingdom level?"

Zhou Zhou frowned slightly.

This was a bit low.

As for Ling'er, this came as no surprise to Him.

After all, Ling'er was His most trusted lord, and during the course of His development, He had supported her with resources on numerous occasions. Coupled with the fact that she was the largest supplier of medicinal herbs under Zhou Zhou's command, she was able to make a fortune just from supplying herbs alone. Under such circumstances, it was only natural for her to stand out among the many lords of the Star Alliance.

If she still could not become the premier lord of the Star Alliance despite all this, then... Zhou Zhou would not blame her.

After all, she was just a child, and Zhou Zhou had never expected her to rise up, much less turn around to help Him.

As it appeared now, though Ling'er was young, she had never slackened her pace of progress.

While Zhou Zhou felt a sense of gratification, He also felt a twinge of heartache for her.

He thought for a moment and said:

"Send someone to deliver fifty units of Chaos Divine Treasures to Ling'er, and let her first elevate her territory to an intermediate divine kingdom territory."

"As for all her subsequent needs to elevate the territory, do your best to help Ling'er fulfill them. It is best if this is accomplished within three days."

"Within ten days, I want to see Ling'er become the second lord force in the countless worlds to ascend to a primary main divine kingdom territory."

To ascend to a mid-tier Divine Dominion territory, merely 50 units of Chaotic Divine Treasures are required.

To reach an advanced Divine Dominion, 200 units are needed.

To further ascend to a junior Supreme God Dominion territory, a staggering 500 units of Chaotic Divine Treasures are required.

In order to swiftly advance to a Supreme God-level territory, He has truly invested heavily.

A total of 750 units of Chaotic Divine Treasures—no matter how much He values it, it would take time to accumulate such a sum.

Fortunately, the ones being cultivated are His own, and thus He can feel a measure of peace in his heart.

Though selecting a high-ranking Dominion lord from among existing elite factions would streamline the process, Zhou Zhou still prefers to nurture trusted allies rather than outsiders.

Even if it means bearing greater costs.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zero spoke respectfully.

Zhou Zhou nodded.

Then he departed to deliver the resources to Ling'er.

Left alone, Zhou Zhou fell once more into deep contemplation.

Since this occasion demanded the conquest of a single lower true god kingdom's lord territory, the next would likely require subjugating even more of them.

He would have to make his preparations early.

Furthermore, conquering a lower true god kingdom's lord territory that did not answer to the Crimson Lord would be simple enough.

He could personally nurture one himself.

But how was he to conquer three such territories that actually belonged to the Crimson Lord's faction?

As this thought took hold, Zhou Zhou's brow furrowed in a deep frown.

After a moment of deliberation, he reached out and retrieved the all-powerful Bodhi Supreme.

"Bodhi Master, how can I find the junior master god territory led by the three Red Lords?"

Zhou Zhou asked directly.

"An ordinary question to be clarified."

"Understood."

"Go to the Red Great Universe."

Bodhi Master spoke lazily. "In the Supreme Great Universe, you won't stand a chance of finding such a red realm—only within the Red Great Universe, the homeland of red deities, might you locate a junior master god territory led by a territory lord."

"But the Red Great Universe is extremely dangerous, especially for someone like you, an outsider. Surviving there would be exceedingly difficult."

"You must prepare well in advance."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhou nodded.

This answer was also within his expectations.

"The Scarlet Cosmos?"

He began to ponder.

Within the various lineages of his bloodline inheritance, there were indeed records of methods to enter the Scarlet Cosmos—and more than just one—so there was no need to ask Lord Bodhi how to travel there.

The crux of the matter was how, upon arrival, to openly and legitimately conquer the territories of three lower-tier True God kingdoms.

He reflected on it for a moment, only to find that no good approach came to mind for the time being.

Even for scarlet creatures, the Scarlet Cosmos was an exceedingly perilous place, where the law of the jungle was far more naked and bloody than the hegemony of lords within the Supreme Cosmos.

If he wished to go there to fulfill his advancement requirements, there were simply too many variables to consider.

"I will think no more on it for now; when the cart reaches the mountain, a path will surely appear."

Zhou Zhou did not let himself grow anxious.

He then approached the Gate of Summoning, expending two thousand gai units of basic material resources and five thousand mid-tier True God divine crystals to upgrade the Gate of Summoning to the mid-tier True God level.

Text prompt appears.

[Congratulations! Your Summoning Gate has successfully been upgraded to a Mid-Level Divine God Structure!]

[Your daily summonable citizens have increased by +500 million!]

[Among your daily summonals, exactly 50 million professionals will inevitably appear!]

[Note: Due to the unique title 'The Glory of the Pioneer XIII', your daily summonable citizen count has surged to 7.6 billion 17.555 million 1,500 individuals!]

[Among your daily summonals, exactly 600 million 5000 thousand 14 professionals will inevitably appear!]

Zhou Zhou read it through and nodded with satisfaction.

The foundational summoning capacity of a Mid-Level Divine God Summoning Gate is 585.96 million 5500 individuals!

With the influence of 'The Glory of the Pioneer XIII', this has surged by a factor of 13, reaching 7.6 billion 17.555 million 1,500 individuals!

And among them, there are exactly 14 Mid-Level Divine God entities.

The Primordial God holds little significance.

What truly matters is that of the 7.6 billion divine beings, 99% will be Epics-level transcendental entities.

The remaining 1%, some 76 million souls, are legendary-tier beings—only one step away from ascending to the God-tier.

Had any other Lord heard this, they’d likely be envious, drooling over the prospect.

Then, He glanced at the requirements for upgrading the Summoning Gate.

[Building Upgrade: 1,000 yao units of wood, 1,000 yao units of fine sand, 1,000 yao units of metal, 1,000 yao units of stone, 10,000 Primordial God-tier crystal shards, and territory level elevated to Primordial God-tier!]

Zhou Zhou withdrew his gaze, then spent 20 yao units of base materials, 10,000 Primordial God-tier crystal shards, and 50 billion high-tier elemental gemstones to elevate the Original Dragon Deep to Primordial God-tier status.

[Building Name: Original Dragon Deep]

[Building Level: Primordial God-tier]

[Function: Each day, the Original Dragon Deep can summon 60 billion Epic-level pure-blooded dragon beings, 6 billion Legendary-level pure-blooded dragons, 600 million lower-tier God-level pure-blooded dragons... and 6,000 True God-tier Dragon Deities to serve as vassals under the Lord. There is an 80% chance of summoning one Legendary Dragon, and a 20% chance of summoning two.]

[Note: After all Legendary Dragon Clans have been summoned, those Legendary Dragon Clans that can no longer be summoned will be replaced by 1,000 True God-level Dragon Deities.]

[Building Upgrade: 500 billion units of wood, 500 billion units of fine sand, 500 billion units of metal, 500 billion units of stone, 10,000 Intermediate True God-level Divine Crystals, 50 billion high-level elemental gems, territory elevated to Intermediate True God Nation-level Lord Faction, possessing 100 True God-level Dragon Clans in worship!]

After reviewing the initial Dragon Deep's building effects, Zhou Zhou nodded with satisfaction.

The elevation of the initial Dragon Deep to Intermediate True God level was nothing short of transformative.

Simply the number of Epic Lower-tier Pureblood Dragon Clans alone could summon 60 billion.

However, with the presence of the Supreme Tier—Unique Level "Fate Summon," this effect is essentially nullified, as the Pureblood Dragon Clans summoned by Him are at the very least Epic Upper-tier.

The most significant advancement this time lies in the number of Dragon Deities that can be summoned.

The number of ordinary Dragon Deities that can be summoned has reached a staggering 660 million!

The number of Dragon Deities of True God rank has soared to 666,000!

The probability of summoning two Legendary Dragon Clans has doubled!

The progress is quite impressive.

Yet He sensed something—perhaps the original Dragon Deep’s Dragon God was nearing completion, about to be summoned into full light.

"Unknown whether, once the last dragonblood has vanished from the Original Dragon Deep, the Deep will still hold any purpose," thought Zhou Zhou, then dismissed the thought.

He then returned to the Realm of the Gods, dispatching messengers to summon Mu Gu, Zheng Fugui, and Karo Moira.

A moment later.

The three arrived before Zhou Zhou.

"Your Majesty, we are at your service!"

They bowed respectfully.

"As usual, tell me about your individual progress."

Zhou Zhou smiled and said.

Upon hearing this, Mu Gu stepped forward first.

"Report to the Emperor, the rank of the Crimson Nidus under my care has advanced from Sub-Primordial God to Mid-Primordial God."

"The number of Fog Mothers derived from the Mid-Primordial God Crimson Nidus has increased from originally fifty million to one hundred million."

"Each Fog Mother now cultivates two hundred billion Fog Monsters within its own world."

"With one hundred million Fog Mothers, a total of two quadrillion Fog Monsters can be cultivated."

"Furthermore, the quality and efficiency of my breeding of high-grade Crimson offspring have been significantly improved."

"Currently, I can produce fifty Mid-Primordial God Crimson Gods per day. As for True Gods and ordinary deities, they remain unchanged as before—so long as the Crimson Fog does not vanish, I can cultivate them without limit."

Mu Gu spoke with composure.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhou's face lit up with a smile.

These are no less than 2,000 jing-tou mist monsters.

That is to say,

if he were to use all of these mist mothers to train troops, under the blessing of master talents and titles such as Heavenly Fate Emperor, he would obtain one day alone—2,000 jing of the Supreme Divine Weapon Recruitment Scrolls, 2,000 jing of the Supreme Divine Weapon Rank-Up Certificates, 2,000 jing of the Supreme Holy Divine Law Summoner Recruitment Scrolls, and 2,000 jing of the Supreme Holy Divine Law Summoner Rank-Up Certificates!

Thus calculated,

he would amass no less than 8,000 jing of fresh troops in a single day!

No less than 8,000 jing of forces!

Nearly one yao!

And under the influence of the Supreme Tier—Unique Master Talent—Heavenly Fate Summoning, 7,920 jing of these forces would be composed of elite epic soldiers, while the remaining 80 jing would be legendary upper-tier soldiers—effectively, divine reserves!

If all eighty jing of this army were elevated to deities.

Huff...

Zhou Zhou couldn't even begin to imagine the scene.
