Chapter 1541: Supreme Grade · Unique Lord Talent - Lord of Peace! Two Legendary Dragons!

Chapter 1541 - To the Advanced Level · The Sole Lord's Talent - The Master of Tranquility! Two Legendary Dragon Clans!

Zhou Zhou, having reached the late phase of Willpower Immortal, felt exceptionally joyful.

He rose and circled the Rebirth Holy Palace several times, observing his subordinates diligently practicing in various parts of the palace. The smile spreading across his face grew ever more evident.

He could clearly sense that these subordinates were about to break through their current limits.

Once they did, they would become another tier of supreme power within the Yangyang Divine Realm.

"Ah?!"

At that moment,

he noticed two of his subordinates.

One of them was none other than the War Supreme God, Tres.

The other was none other than his Deputy Commander of the Yangyang Divine Realm—Chixuan Tian!

At that moment, they sat in quiet contemplation within their respective meditation chambers, their divine consciousnesses drifting through the ages, laboring tirelessly in spiritual cultivation.

Around them, a powerful aura of will pulsed—vital, restless, and unstable, as if yearning to shatter its bonds, yet still unable to breach them in the present moment.

Yet their expressions remained calm, their inner stillness unshaken. Clearly, they had anticipated this very scene.

As expected, though they were still unable to transcend at this moment, this barrier was clearly not insurmountable. They would inevitably break through, ascending to a higher realm.

Zhou Zhou immediately recognized this.

The two deities were attempting to transcend into the realm of Supreme Deity!

And the chances of success were not negligible.

A satisfied smile reappeared on his face. Then, without further hesitation, he turned and departed.

As for the current obstacles they faced in their ascent—he could not assist them now.

If they sought his aid before breaking through, he might offer some guidance. But once the breakthrough had already begun, no assistance could be rendered.

And Zhou Zhou also believed in them.

Since they had chosen this very moment to break through, they must surely possess the confidence—solid, unshakable—of being able to succeed.

He did not need to intervene further; otherwise, he might inadvertently cause more harm than good.

Then, he returned to his meditation cushion and settled into stillness. With a single thought, he summoned a Lord's Talent Panel.

This panel was no ordinary thing—it was a new, supreme-tier, unique Lord's Talent born from the absorption of fragments and spheres of Lordly Talents by his Supreme Holy Body during that one night of cultivation.

With eager anticipation, he gazed upon it.

[Lord's Talent: Master of Peace (Supreme Tier – Unique)]

[Master of Peace: A Lord's Talent of the People's Characteristic Type! Your territory thrives in prosperity and stability. The nation's governance is clear and just; the people live in peace and contentment. Officials fulfill their duties, citizens give their best, and resources are fully utilized. No one picks up lost items, no doors are locked at night—harmony prevails, seasons are balanced, and there is no disaster or misfortune.

All the people are deeply satisfied with their current lives and hold you in the highest reverence and affection.

Yet, they have not lost their ambition. Through personal effort and collective cooperation, they will strive to improve both their individual lives and the broader development of society.

The deities of the myriad realms shall gaze upon your domain with profound reverence, beholding it as a sanctuary blessed with eternal immortality. Henceforth, a ceaseless tide of spirits, true gods, lord gods, and supreme deities shall journey hither to pledge their allegiance, intertwining their fates with your realm as its loyal subjects.

The baseline allegiance of your populace shall possess an inherent foundation, steadily deepening with each passing day they dwell within the embrace of your lands.

[Specific Talent Effect 1: The foundational allegiance of your subjects shall be fixed at ninety points.]

[Specific Talent Effect 2: For those whose allegiance rests between ninety and ninety-nine points, every single day spent within your domain shall elevate their devotion by one point, up to a maximum threshold of ninety-nine.]

[Specific Talent Effect 7: Your domain is renowned throughout the multiverse; all realms know that your domain is a time of peace amidst chaos, and that you are the sovereign who can bring harmony and prosperity to the multiverse. Unexpected blessings will descend upon you and your domain.]

...

After reading it through, Zhou Zhou nodded in satisfaction.

The "Sovereign of Peace" was originally a transcendent-level lord's talent known as "Prosperity and Tranquility."

Now, having ascended to the Supreme Level—Unique Sovereign Lord's Talent—the capabilities of this talent have been greatly enhanced!

First and foremost, as the Sovereign of Peace empowered by the Supreme-Level Unique Sovereign Lord's Talent, Zhou Zhou now has the power to influence the Supreme Deity.

Henceforth, he will no longer worry about the loyalty of external Supreme Deities being insufficient, or their reluctance to invest heavily or be entrusted with critical responsibilities.

With this Sovereign of Peace now in place, he can finally confidently entrust the Supreme Deities with significant roles and responsibilities.

Secondly.

The current Lord of Peace has reached a staggering 90 points in his subjects' base loyalty!

Ninety points of loyalty!

This was a truly extravagant figure.

Subjects possessing such a rating, even if not fiercely loyal to the death, were barely distinguishable from it.

It was, without a doubt, a level of devotion where one could place unconditional trust in another.

Furthermore, the subsequent specific talent effects two, three, and four could elevate this loyalty even further, raising it to the level of fanatics or even holy spirit-level believers.

Zhou Zhou could not help but marvel in wonder as he beheld this.

Had it been an ordinary deity witnessing these few talent effects, they would surely be overjoyed.

For a lord talent capable of giving rise to so many fanatics and holy spirit-level believers meant that, even if they relied solely on achieving godhood through faith, they could force their divine status all the way up to the tier of a fourth-order supreme god through the sheer, endless power of belief.

The power of faith was an utterly miraculous force.

Almost omnipotent.

Powerful enough to rival the force of law itself!

With sufficient faith power, even a commoner, utterly ignorant of any law, could ascend to divinity—indeed, to the highest tier of ultimate deities.

Even!

Enough faith power could propel a four-tier ultimate deity into the realm of supreme will, even beyond the transcendence of will.

Yet this was not merely something achievable through sufficient willpower.

Zhou Zhou possessed numerous inheritances from the highest-tier ultimate deities.

Many of them had encountered beings who sought to break through their limits using faith power, ascending into the realm of supreme will.

They all possessed ample faith power.

Yet they were all stymied by one critical obstacle.

That is how one comes to grasp the will embedded within one's own faith.

Without understanding the will within faith, one cannot ascend to the realm of Supreme Will.

This is precisely why so many four-tiered highest gods who attained divinity through faith are unable to rise to the Supreme Will realm.

The difficulty involved is even greater than that faced by deities who achieve divinity through laws when striving to attain the realm of Supreme Will.

Still, speaking of that.

Beyond the aspect of increased loyalty, which pleased Zhou Zhou immensely, all the other innate abilities he examined also left him thoroughly satisfied.

He studied them for a long time, pondering deeply, before finally leaving the Palace of Cyclic Rebirth and making his way to Mu Gu's dwelling.

Within the Mu Estate.

Upon arrival, Zhou Zhou saw Wu Xin engaged in conversation with Mu Gu.

At the sight of his sovereign entering, both Mu Gu and Wu Xin immediately rose, bowing respectfully.

"Have you seen the Emperor!"

"Emperor."

"Your servant has eliminated all the monsters from the mother nest. Here are all the spoils."

Wu Xin spoke with exhilaration.

Then he handed over three world rings to Zhou Zhou.

Zhou Zhou smiled and took them, then eagerly poured his willpower into them.

Upon seeing the treasures within, he took a deep breath and a smile spread across his face.

Two of the world rings contained 2000 jin of the "Divine Weapon Recruitment Book" and 2000 jin of the "Sacred Divine Spellcaster Recruitment Book," while the other held 2000 jin of the "Divine Weapon Promotion Certificate" and 2000 jin of the "Sacred Divine Spellcaster Promotion Certificate!"

The final world ring contained other spoils.

"Excellent!"

Zhou Zhou spoke with a vibrant tone.

This was no less than 8,000 Jing-ben recruitment notices and promotion certificates!

The total number of troops under his command currently amounted to only 1 jia plus over 1,000 Jing.

This single harvest from the Crimson Mother Nest had brought his total forces nearly to 2 jia!

Among all the supreme god-level powers across the myriad realms of the cosmos, such a force size at his level is truly unparalleled.

And with the weakest soldiers among these two jia of troops being of epic-tier strength—though it may not seem particularly impressive at first glance—when considered within the context of a total force of two jia, the scale becomes utterly terrifying.

After a moment of quiet reflection,

Zhou Zhou handed the world ring containing the promotion certificates to the other.

"General Wu."

"As always, you go find the reserve recruits to transition into full-time soldiers. I'll go to the Summoning Gate to recruit new troops."

He said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wu Xin spoke respectfully.

Zhou Zhou nodded.

Then Wu Xin withdrew and departed.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhou also left the mansion in Mugu and flew toward the Summoning Gate.

...

Before the Summoning Gate.

Zhou Zhan gazed at the towering Summoning Gate before him. As usual, he first summoned a fleet-class eternal battle cruiser of supreme deity rank, then tossed all 4,000 jin recruitment documents into it. After spending 100 mid-tier deity crystal shards, he instantly recruited every single one of them and stationed them aboard the eternal battle cruiser.

Then he turned his gaze.

Before him, neatly and precisely arranged within the internal realm of the eternal battle cruiser, stood an entire force of 4,000 jin of epic-tier elite troops.

Zhou Zhou observed their strict discipline and nodded in satisfied approval.

Next, he ordered Zero to transport this entire force to the main combat legion's base. Then, he activated the primordial Dragon Deep interface of the Summoning Gate, spending another 100 mid-tier deity crystal shards, and summoned 66.6 billion, 66.66 million, and 6,000 pure-blooded dragon clans—placing them all aboard the Eternal Mother Ship as well!

He then carefully examined these dragon clans, and to his astonishment, he discovered that among them, there were exactly two pure-blooded dragon clans.

Zhou Zhou nodded in satisfaction.

A 20% chance of summoning two pure-blooded dragon clans was no small feat.

That such a result could occur was not surprising to him at all.

He studied them closely.

There stood before him two legendary dragon clans. One was composed entirely of blazing golden metal, shining with an intensity that dazzled the eye.

Even the Golden Holy Dragon clan, famed for its radiant surface, could not match the brilliance of this legendary dragon.

The other was of a pale, icy white hue, its scales etched with intricate script, each letter seeming to breathe with ancient wisdom.

Its eyes were deep and still, distant and serene—like that of a sage who had read the annals of time.

Zhou Zhou raised a brow at this sight.

"Legendary Dragon Clan—the Holy Dragon of Gold!"

"Legendary Dragon Clan—the Holy Dragon of Civilization!"

He murmured to himself.

He had already discerned the identities of these two legendary dragons.

The Holy Dragon of Gold, born from the Law of Gold, was the favored child of the highest cosmos, possessing an unparalleled advantage in the realm of gold.

In terms of innate mastery over the Law of Gold, above all other beings, the Law of Gold ranks first—no other entity dares claim second place.

As for the Sacred Dragon of Civilization, it arose from the Law of Civilization.

The emergence of the Law of Civilization came far later than that of the other legendary dragon clans.

While most of the legendary dragon clans had already come into being, the Sacred Dragon of Civilization only just began to manifest.

Yet.

The other legendary dragon clans, to some extent or another, had undergone cycles of rebirth and reincarnation—twice, at the very least. Even the First Dragon, the Primordial Sovereign, had been slain during the age of the Dragon-Slayers and thus reincarnated once in the distant past.

But the Sacred Dragon of Civilization had never done so.

For it was born from the civilizations of countless realms across the cosmos.

As long as the flame of civilization burns on, the Sacred Dragon of Civilization shall never perish.

How could the flame of civilization ever be extinguished?

Unless the supreme, boundless cosmos reverts to chaos and begins a new cycle of cosmic evolution, the flame born from sentient life could never be extinguished.

This is precisely why the Sacred Dragon of Civilization has never perished since its inception.

Moreover, because the Sacred Dragon of Civilization emerged from the collective civilizations of countless realms and nations, its own memories contain the entirety of their ancestral legacies.

Even the zenith-era civilizations of the Primordial Spirit Race, the Chaotic Deity Race, and the Herd Deity Race—the three supreme lineages—have been fully etched into its memory.

Because of this divine capability, the peoples of all realms have long sought every possible means to slay the Sacred Dragon of Civilization and ensure it could never rise again!

But soon,

They realized they could not succeed.

For the Sacred Dragon of Civilization is immortal.

Yet soon, they conceived another method.

That was the sealing of the Sacred Dragon of Civilization.

As long as the Sacred Dragon of Civilization could be permanently sealed, and its vast ancestral knowledge locked away forever, so that it would never utter the secrets of the myriad races, its very existence would become a thing of no concern.

But soon, they failed.

For the Sacred Dragon of Civilization possessed a secret technique capable of being stored within the Flame of Civilization.

With this technique, countless powerful beings across the infinite realms could not locate the Sacred Dragon at all—rendering their carefully prepared sealing methods utterly useless.

Yet the Sacred Dragon of Civilization was also wise.

It understood that it held the ancestral knowledge which no race would willingly allow to be spoken.

To secure its freedom and safety, the Sacred Dragon made a solemn pact with the myriad race’s strongest warriors: it would never reveal a single word about the vital ancestral traditions of the races. In this way, the races would spare it, and it could live in peace.

Only after the myriad races swore this highest of oaths did they finally release the Sacred Dragon of Civilization, allowing it to live without harm or danger until today.

Zhou Zhou had never imagined that.

I never thought I'd actually summon them here.

What good fortune I've had!

Zhou Zhou thought to himself.
