Chapter 1523: Great Battle! The Enhancement of the Lord's Innate Talent!

"Looks like soon, I'm going to send a massive shockwave through the deities of all the universes."

Zhou Zhou murmured to himself.

Then, he smiled.

He had no idea what reaction the myriad realms and universes would have.

But it would surely be fascinating.

Then, he directly addressed Mu Gu:

"You have one hundred million Fog Mothers. Fifty million shall be cultivated into Chaos Masters, and the other fifty million shall be trained into Primordial Holy Cannons."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Mu Gu bowed respectfully.

Then He withdrew once more.

Zhang Guifu, seeing this, stepped forward.

"Report to the Emperor."

"Currently, the number of our mysterious merchants has surged—after our territory's advancement to the rank of Intermediate Supreme Deity, it has grown from one million to five million!"

"The number of carts transporting goods has also risen to five million!"

"Among these five million supreme mysterious merchants, there are 5 million Supreme Deities, 49.99 billion True Deities, and 45 trillion ordinary deities!"

"Our treasure-hunting probability has been further enhanced. In the future, whenever we go on trading expeditions, we should be able to bring back at least five million pieces of divine artifacts each time."

"Additionally, as one of the core branches of the Mysterious Merchant Guild, our status has been elevated once again. Our daily wages have increased from 10,000 points of Mysterious Merchant Guild credits to 50,000 points."

He spoke with deep reverence.

Zhou Zhou smiled and nodded.

Yet within his heart, he no longer felt the same stirring of awe when hearing those divine numbers as he had before.

With the divine summons at his back, he believed he would soon surpass the mysterious merchant in terms of ordinary divine beings.

But to overtake him in the realm of true gods and chief deities—this remained a daunting challenge.

He did not dwell on it long, and instead turned his gaze to Caro Moira.

Zhen Fugui withdrew silently, while Caro Moira stepped forward with respectful dignity:

"Report to the Sovereign."

"Sovereign, after our domain has ascended to the rank of chief deity, our Life Ark now boasts 500 million priests, 500 million deacons, 500 million nuns, and 500 billion Life Holy Knights."

"These holy personnel are sufficient to carry out war healing and resurrection tasks at the scale of ten yuans."

"Furthermore—"

"Currently, our Life Ark's high-ranking divine officials at the god-tier have reached a staggering 10 billion!"

"Each of them has mastered both small and great resurrection techniques, capable of independently reviving our nation's divine offerings."

"As for my own strength, I still stand at the level above the primary deities, and have not yet advanced."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhou nodded with satisfaction.

A healing capability on the scale of a ten-kai military force!

One hundred billion divine beings, each possessing mastery over both small and great resurrection techniques—advanced divine officials of the highest rank!

This alone would fully satisfy the long-term demands of war healing and resurrection within His realm.

In light of this, even the recruitment of transcendent beings from the multiversal relay stations, possessing resurrection and healing abilities, no longer seemed urgent.

After conversing further with the shepherds and their developments, He then sent them on their way.

Meanwhile, Zhou Zhou closed his eyes and sensed the current lower limit of potential within the Prajna Divine Clan.

Upon opening his eyes, a smile spread across his face.

Subordinate deity, superior!

With 1,112 human deities born today—marking the emergence of a new chief deity within the Praey Sun Clan—the very baseline potential of the Praey Sun Clan has surged from mid-lower deity to upper-lower deity!

Indeed, indeed.

Within just one day, the Praey Sun Clan's baseline potential has been elevated once more.

Far faster than Zhou Zhou had anticipated.

Perhaps now he might begin to envision the scene where the human deities' baseline potential eventually ascends to chief deity status.

Though that may require a long time and the accumulation of countless new chief deities.

Subsequently, Zhou Zhou calculated how many new chief deities would be needed for the Praey Sun Clan to rise from upper-lower deity to lower-mid deity status.

The answer: 2,000!

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhou nodded slightly.

"This requirement is quite manageable."

"Judging by yesterday's efficiency, two days should be sufficient to gather enough new True Gods to raise the potential floor of the Blazing Sun Divine Race to the lower tier of Mid-tier Deity."

He thought to Himself.

Then, brushing aside any further distractions, He returned to the Samsara Holy Palace to resume His cultivation.

Comprehending laws, elevating His realm, cultivating the Supreme Holy Body, creating new Supreme-tier Unique Laws, and occasionally emerging to preside over major operations like upgrading the territory...

His main body actually had a great deal to attend to, far from what the other clones claimed—that He simply stayed inside the Samsara Holy Palace every single day doing absolutely nothing at all.

...

Meanwhile.

The Ultimate Void Battlefield.

The massive armies under Zhou Zhan and the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Evils had already arrived before a void secret realm within the domain of the Lotus Flame Battlefield.

They glanced at the Blood Sovereign Supreme God behind the vast army, and the Blood God legion following behind Him.

The Blood Sovereign Supreme God—Becki—saw their gaze and returned to them a mocking, arrogant smile.

The Wandering Demon Master's face darkened with fury and cold rage.

"Damn it, he's gone too far."

"We explicitly told him this was our own affair, that he should stay away—yet he still came!"

"What in the world is he up to?"

"Is he planning to cause chaos?"

"After today, I must report this to the Supreme Will. I'll have the Master inform the Crimson Lord, and issue a warning to Becki."

He raged on.

"Brother Demon Master," Zhou Zhan spoke softly, "I advise you not to do this."

"I think the Supreme Will must have wanted to see us prove ourselves worthy, not to come before the elders and complain after having been wronged by the other side, asking them to intervene for us."

"That wouldn't just be a humiliation for us—it would be a disgrace to the Supreme Will's own dignity."

Upon hearing this, the Ten Thousand Evil Master was startled and quickly realized his mistake, exclaiming with relief:

"Thank goodness Brother Changsheng pointed this out. Otherwise, I would have surely disgraced myself before the Supreme Will."

Zhou Zhan shook his head, indifferent.

"So what shall we do next?"

Though the Ten Thousand Evil Master didn't truly fear Beke, Beke's status as the Heir of the Crimson Sovereign was a serious complication.

"Let the enemy remain still—then I will too."

Zhou Zhan said.

The Ten Thousand Evil Master nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, the two gods spoke no further, stepping directly into this hidden void realm.

Behind them, Becky let out a wild, arrogant laugh before leading his Blood God Legion, swaggering into the depths of the void realm after them.

...

This particular hidden void realm was known as the Baichen Void Realm.

The inhabitants within were a race called the Baichen Divine Clan.

This divine clan resided upon a colossal, boundless planet, boasting a population of over fifty billion ordinary deities, more than five hundred million true gods, roughly one hundred thousand chief gods, and as many as twenty supreme gods!

Witnessing this, Zhou Zhan clicked his tongue in wonder.

It was truly worthy of being a hidden void realm within a tier-three supreme god-level war territory; its collective strength far surpassed that of the Firmament Void Realm, the very first void realm they had encountered.

Of course.

Compared to them, it still paled in comparison.

At the same time.

Becki, upon entering the Void Realm Sanctuary, immediately sensed the astonishing abundance of ascension energy pulsing within it.

His face flickered with shock, then swiftly transformed into rapture.

His subordinates behind him mirrored the same expression.

For a long while, they remained lost in thought.

And as Becki regained his awareness, the first thing his gaze fell upon—the Void Realm Sanctuary—was a hunger so deep it seemed to consume him.

"Such an overwhelming abundance of ascension energy within this Void Realm Sanctuary!"

"It's no wonder the Supreme Will chose him as a reward for the Wandering Demon Lord's cultivation trials."

"Even a single such sanctuary could dramatically accelerate the growth of the Wandering Demon Lord's underlings!"

"Utterly absurd—how could the Wandering Demon Lord fail to seize this sanctuary, leaving such treasures to rot in desolation?"

"Hahaha, since the Supreme Demon Lord cannot have it, then this Void Secret Realm is mine!"

"But..."

He glanced with a hint of caution at the countless deities on the White Chen planet.

"These native inhabitants, relying on the ascension energy of this realm, have built up forces that are truly troublesome for me..."

He then turned his gaze toward the Supreme Demon Lord and Zhou Zhan, his companions, and a smile spread across his face.

"Thankfully, they are ahead of me, acting as pawns."

"Let them first weaken these local inhabitants' strength."

"When they are sufficiently weakened, that will be my time to claim victory and seize the fruits of war."

With this thought in mind,

Becki's smile grew even more pronounced at the corners of her mouth.

And it was at that very moment.

The members of the Baichen Divine Clan also discovered them entering the void secret realm.

They immediately activated various arrays and utilized a multitude of racial artifacts to bless their divine army, while a vast number of gods began to form battle arrays, intending to resist the onslaught of Zhou Zhan and his forces.

"Those who surrender shall be spared."

Just then, Zhou Zhan’s calm voice reverberated throughout the entire Baichen void secret realm.

The Lord of the Baichen Divine Clan, Lord Baichen, flew out from the midst of the divine army, glaring at Zhou Zhan, the Lord of Myriad Demons, and the Supreme God of Blood with a furious and resolute gaze.

"What arrogant nonsense!"

"You wish for our Baichen Divine Clan to surrender? How coincidental, for I desire nothing more than to see you die within our ancestral lands, turning into the nourishment for our clan to take a step further!"

Hearing this, Zhou Zhan raised an eyebrow.

Could this fellow have mastered some kind of secret war technique that used fallen gods as nourishment to assist his own ascension?

He shook his head, dismissing further thought, and immediately commanded Bai Yun to lead the army in attack.

"Kill!"

Bai Yun, just promoted to the first rank of Supreme God, was at the peak of his ambition, yearning for a worthy opponent.

Upon hearing this, he leapt forward, leading the entire army straight into the ranks of Bai Chen's divine clan.

As he advanced, Bai Yun drew his bow and nocked an arrow.

And there, from every divine being behind him—the armies of the Sun God Realm, the Legions of Evil, and the Blood God Legion—thin, barely perceptible threads of divine power surged forth. These threads converged upon Bai Yun's first-rank Supreme God artifact—the Blood-Scourge Divine Bow—and swiftly coalesced into a shaft of dazzling, radiant light.

It was the Master Technique of the Supreme Ruler's Law that Bai Yun had mastered upon his ascension to first-rank Supreme God—the Arrow of Universal Divine Annihilation!

As soon as this radiant arrow appeared, it captured the attention of every divine being present.

Even the highest-ranking Supreme Gods could not look away.

"This arrow possesses the power of a top-tier fourth-rank Supreme God!"

"The being armed with the bow, though only at the level of a newly ascended first-tier Supreme God, could already be seen as possessing combat power that likely rivals the very apex of fourth-tier Supreme Gods."

"Such a devilish Supreme God!"

A fourth-tier Supreme God from the Bai Chen race spoke with deep gravity.

His eyes were sharp—within a single glance, he had instantly recognized Bai Yun as a newly promoted Supreme God.

"I'll hold him off!"

Another fourth-tier Supreme God roared, immediately flying forward and wielding his third-tier Supreme God artifact shield to forge a vast, sky-shrouding silver barrier in the ultimate void.

The next instant—

BOOM!

The arrow and the shield collided with a thunderous crash.

After the dissipating mist of the shattered laws, what remained was the vanished White Yun's Universal Devastation Arrow—yet the silver giant shield of the other had been shattered beyond recognition, fading swiftly into the air.

This Four-Rank Supreme God of the Bai Chen Divine Clan, upon witnessing this, instantly widened his eyes.

Could it be that the one clearly just promoted to First Rank Supreme God had truly shattered His most powerful defensive law technique with a single arrow?!!

A newly promoted First Rank Supreme God?

Meanwhile,

Unaware of the other's thoughts, White Yun frowned at the scene—her single arrow having failed to achieve any decisive result. Then, she launched three more Universal Devastation Arrows in succession.

"Block it!"

The Bai Chen Divine Sovereign roared.

The next instant—

And then, two three-tier Supreme Deities and one four-tier Supreme Deity emerged from behind Bai Chen's master, each defending against a bolt of Universal Divine Arrow.

The four-tier Supreme Deity, by sheer will, managed to withstand that single bolt of Universal Divine Arrow.

But the two three-tier Supreme Deities fared terribly.

They had utterly failed to anticipate the true power of Bai Yun’s arrow—one that rivaled the might of a four-tier Supreme Deity’s divine technique. Even with their full might and desperate defenses, they could not withstand the strike, and were grievously wounded by it.

Bai Chen’s master’s face darkened instantly.

Yet within Bai Yun’s heart, a deep sense of satisfaction stirred.

“Kill!”

And then, astonishingly, Bai Yun abandoned ranged attack altogether, instead wielding the bowstring as a blade and the divine sword as a spear, leading his entire army forward to charge directly into the ranks of the White Chen Deity Army. The two forces clashed in brutal close-quarters combat.

He moved like a super-soldier, master of both legendary swordsmanship and legendary spear-fighting, dominating every enemy deity, none able to stand against him.

Behind him, the divine armies of the Sun God Nation and the Army of Universal Evil surged forward, their morale already high—now, with their commander charging so fiercely, it erupted into a feverish, uncontainable surge.

They also surged swiftly into the ranks of the White Chen deities' divine army, charging recklessly and slaughtering without restraint.

Faced with a horde of divine beings as fierce and relentless as wolves and tigers, the deities of the White Chen race retreated in fear, hesitating at every turn—until, eventually, they could no longer contain their fury and began cursing aloud.

Are these gods mad?

How can they fight with such reckless abandon? Every one of them seems to trade wounds for wounds, even lives for lives?

They naturally had no idea.

With the assurance of nearly infinite resurrection, their very nature in battle carried an unyielding, suicidal ferocity.

On the other hand,

The highest deities of the White Chen race had long been observing this first-tier deity who possessed the combat strength of a fourth-tier supreme being. When they saw that even in close combat, this being retained such formidable power, they could no longer remain indifferent.

We cannot allow this to continue!

Soon,

There came a four-tiered Supreme God and three three-tiered Supreme Gods flying toward her, all converging to attack Bai Yun.

Yet though Bai Yun faced four foes alone, she remained unyielding, fighting back with equal vigor—her battle with these four Supreme Gods turning into a fierce, balanced exchange.

From afar, behind the battlefield, Zhou Zhan watched the scene unfold. His brow twitched slightly, first in astonishment, then in quiet satisfaction.

"Apparently, Bai Yun has gained tremendous mastery since her ascension."

"Archery, swordsmanship, spearcraft—each transition flows so naturally, as if she has truly achieved the essence of one path leading to all others."

He murmured to himself, a smile playing at the corners of his lips.
