Chapter 1549: Gift from the Wangyue Will! Shock of the Reincarnation Will!
Chapter 1549: The Gift of the Moon-Gazing Will! The Shock of the Cyclical Will!
After recovering from the shock, the Moon-Gazing Will turned to Zhou Zhan, his gaze growing ever more admiring.
He spoke:
"I am the Moon-Gazing Will beneath the Court of the Great Yin, sent by the Supreme Will to protect you."
"I originally thought nothing significant would happen. But ever since you survived unharmed under the true-blood avatar of the Supreme Will, I have come to realize that a great crisis looms near."
"I never expected the crisis to come—not just any crisis, but one embodied by a Supreme Will being wielding a transcendent artifact of willful liberation."
At this, his tone suddenly grew icy:
"The Ultimate Void Clan—what audacity they display!"
"If our main forces were not engaged in battle against the army of the Illusory Clan in the Dusk Lands, how could they dare to parade themselves before us?!"
"Now they dare to plot the murder of our Supreme Commander-in-Training?!"
"They've broken the rules of battle!"
"I must return immediately to the Supreme Will, to report this matter to the Supreme Will."
"Emperor of the People."
"We shall meet again."
As he spoke the final words, the tone of Moon Will's voice softened, gently returning to warmth as he spoke with Zhou Zhan.
"Thank you, Moon Will."
Zhou Zhan bowed respectfully.
Upon hearing this, Moon Will gently covered her mouth and smiled. "Little one, I admire you. You could call me sister, just as the Cycle Will does."
"Big Sister Moon!"
Zhou Zhan immediately laughed with delight.
Wangyue's will nodded in satisfaction, then extended his right hand.
A shocking event occurred to Zhou Zhan.
The full moon in the sky suddenly shrank rapidly, reduced to the size of a palm within less than three or four breaths, and fell into Wangyue's will's hand.
He lifted his jade hand, and there it was—the full moon flying toward him, landing before Zhou Zhan.
Zhou Zhan stared at the moon.
The moon radiated a cold, serene light, yet unlike its outward appearance, Zhou Zhan, with his exceptionally sharp perception, suddenly sensed an overwhelming force of will within that cold moonlight.
He had a foreboding: the will force contained within the moon would unleash a power so astonishing it would shatter the heavens.
Perhaps even surpassing the blazing red lotus that had just slain Juedian's beast.
At that moment, the Wheel of Rebirth's will spoke with a look of envy:
"Brother, Wangyue sister treats you so well."
"This 'Full Moon'—even your Moon-Gazing Sister would need to absorb the primordial essence radiating from the Yin Stars for ten thousand years to gather just one."
" Its explosive power is actually far stronger than that fleeting Qing Fire Red Lotus we just saw."
"Even a top-tier Supreme Will-being, caught off guard, could suffer injury from it."
"Come on, thank Moon-Gazing Sister quickly!"
Zhou Zhan heard this and his face instantly lit up with shock.
This seemingly ordinary Full Moon was actually far more powerful than the Qing Fire Red Lotus just moments ago.
And even a being of Moon-Gazing Will could only produce one after ten thousand years of accumulation.
"It's too precious—I can't take it."
Zhou Zhan said immediately.
"What's precious about it?"
Wangyue's will chuckled lightly, "If I lowered the price, I wouldn't feel comfortable offering it to you, this rising star of mine."
"Take it."
"I've already decided to give it to you—there's no thought of ever taking it back."
"And now you've already drawn the attention of enemies at the level of Supreme Will. The dangers ahead will be endless. With this, your future might just be saved."
"Don't overthink it—just consider it an investment on my part."
"When you eventually ascend to the level of Supreme Will, come and drink a cup of fine wine with me. Then I'll know that my offering was worth it."
Zhou Zhan was momentarily stunned.
"Take it. Whatever gift Wangyue Sister gives, no one dares refuse."
The Cycle Will also laughed softly beside him.
Wangyue's will smiled faintly.
With things having reached this point, Zhou Zhan could hardly refuse. He extended his hand to accept the full moon, then spoke with respectful deference:
"Thank you, Sister Wangyue."
"In the days to come, I shall surely bring a flask of the finest wine from across the myriad realms to pay my respects to you."
"Oh?" Wangyue smiled faintly, a gesture that rendered her breathtaking beauty all the more striking. "Then I shall look forward to your fine wine."
Zhou Zhan nodded with earnest gravity.
The Samsara Will chuckled softly from the side, seemingly delighted to witness the two deities forging such a bond.
"This matter is concluded, and no enemies should trouble you again for the foreseeable future."
"I must first return to report back to the Supreme Will."
"Until we meet again."
Said the Will of Wangyue.
"Master Moon, take your time."
Zhou Zhan hurried to say so.
"When the affairs of the Underworld are mostly settled, I'll also bring wine to meet Master Moon and catch up on old times."
The Will of the Cycle chuckled.
Master Moon's will smiled lightly and nodded. Then, with a gentle motion of her hand, Zhou Zhan saw the body of Meng Duo and all of his treasures—especially the Reality Cube—being drawn into her moon sleeve. Instantly, she vanished into the light of the moon, disappearing before the two deities.
Zhou Zhan didn't feel the slightest regret.
Though the corpse of a Supreme Will being was undeniably tempting,
he had not exerted much effort throughout the entire process—only offering a minor boost at the very end, using the principle of "the world is the king's" across all realms.
Even if his assistance had been crucial, to demand such a vast prize—entirely based on that single act—was nothing short of absurd fantasy.
And though the Reality Cube had astonishing effects, its grade was simply too high!
That was a treasure of transcendent will!
Even if Zhou Zhan drained every single divine power and will force from all the deities of the Prajña Divine Nation, he’d still barely be able to move it—let alone exert even a fraction of its power.
So although Zhou Zhan knew the Reality Cube was of extremely high rank, deep down, he didn’t feel particularly eager.
"Brother,"
"You've actually made a connection with a major figure!"
At that moment, the Cyclical Will patted Zhou Zhan’s shoulder with a joyful smile. "Miss Wang Yue is the younger sister of the Taiyin Emperor’s crown, who rules the Taiyin Divine Court. In the Taiyin Divine Court, her status ranks only just below that of the Taiyin Emperor himself.
Among all the transcendent-will masters, Miss Wang Yue’s strength is certainly among the top ten.
The Taiyin Emperor himself has personally assessed her and stated that she might one day reach his own level.
Should you ever offend any powerful being in the future, you may simply mention Miss Wang Yue’s name—no one would dare risk offending her and pursue you further."
Zhou Zhan was stunned. He never expected the origins of Miss Wang Yue to be so vast.
And yet, a being of such stature and power, so intimately close and gently disposed toward Him, even forming a sister-brother bond with Him—
Zhou Zhan felt that though today he had been attacked by a warrior of the Supreme Will Realm, he had, in a strange way, been blessed by the misfortune. He had forged a connection with such a transcendent force.
Regaining his composure, He turned his gaze upon the battlefield below.
At this moment, His vast army was engaged in fierce combat with the ultimate void forces brought by Meng Duo.
Though He and the divine armies under the leadership of the Ten Thousand Evil Demon Lord were formidable, it was evident that Meng Duo's forces outnumbered them greatly—especially those ten near-Supreme Will Realm warriors, who slaughtered freely among His divine armies, as if they held dominion over them.
Within a short span of time,
more than ten of the highest gods under Zhou Zhan and the Evil Demon Lord had perished!
The number of fallen chief gods, true gods, and ordinary divine beings was beyond reckoning!
Zhou Zhan's expression darkened.
This was the worst loss in His history to date.
He had conquered so many enemies before, yet never before had He stumbled so spectacularly.
Yet, considering the enemy had sent a Supreme Will-being, even losing a divine artifact transcending will, His heart suddenly calmed.
After all, the enemy’s losses seemed far greater.
The Cyclic Will also noticed Zhou Zhan’s gaze, following it to the battlefield scene.
His expression instantly hardened.
"Those damned beings of the Ultimate Void Race."
"Not only did they send a Supreme Will-being, but they brought so many Ultimate Void Deities, causing you such heavy casualties."
"I will help you eliminate them all!"
"And then I will help you resurrect your fallen deities!"
He said,
"Brother, can you resurrect my subordinates?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhan stared at Him with sudden, radiant astonishment.
"Is this strange?" the Cyclical Will chuckled. "I am the Cyclical Will. My greatest power lies in governing cycles—the eternal turning of souls and deities. A slight alteration of the cycle's rules allows for rebirth, and for me, it merely consumes a small portion of willpower."
"For me," he continued,
"even if you speak of True God Sovereigns, or the Supreme Deities—I can with a single thought cause them to reincarnate, and their entire cultivation levels remain untouched!"
"Even the mightiest beings at the Supreme Will Realm—I can bring them back to life."
He spoke with unshakable confidence.
After all, He was the Cyclical Will of countless universes and realms. In the matter of resurrecting souls and deities, He ranked second to none—except perhaps the Supreme Will. Who else dared claim first place?
"Yes,"
Zhou Zhan murmured to himself.
How could he not have thought of this?
He had long been tormented by the question of how to resurrect the fallen Supreme Gods.
Yet, having never encountered the moment when a Supreme God had perished, he had merely fretted over it without much deeper reflection or decisive action.
It wasn't until now, facing this very scene, that he truly realized—relying solely on Death, Thanatos, was utterly insufficient.
Thanatos could only resurrect one First-Class Supreme God at a time, and after each resurrection, he needed a long period of rest before he could resume resurrecting others.
In the past, this had been sufficient—barely enough to meet his needs.
But as the number of Supreme Gods under his command grew, especially with the emergence of those nearing the Precursor to Supreme Will, Thanatos' resurrection capacity became increasingly inadequate.
Now, it was completely beyond his capabilities.
Never did he expect that his brother’s single words would resemble a beacon piercing through fog, instantly illuminating the path He had been seeking!
Yes!
What was he worrying about?
The very being most skilled in resurrection stood right beside him—yet he had failed to see it, had even gone seeking distant, far-fetched solutions, even considering the need to train a subordinate capable of resurrecting countless Supreme Gods.
Such a being could not be cultivated within a short span of time!
Zhou Zhan felt as though struck by a sudden wave of astonishment, a sudden clarity washing over him.
The answer had always been right before his eyes!
There were thoughts he longed to share with the Cyclic Will, but at that moment, the Cyclic Will spoke:
“To swiftly resolve this war, otherwise if too many gods perish—especially Supreme Gods—my resurrection process will become increasingly burdensome.”
Thus spoke the Cyclic Will.
He is capable of resurrecting spirits, even those of the Supreme Will Realm.
Yet, if the number of the deceased strong ones grows too vast, the resurrection will become a taxing endeavor.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhan immediately retracted the words he had been about to utter.
He turned his gaze downward toward the battlefield.
He would first have to resolve the current situation before sharing his thoughts with the Cyclic Will.
"Brother,"
Zhou Zhan said, "I'll handle the battlefield first."
"But those ten ultimate void clans of the nearly Supreme Will Realm—perhaps they still require your direct intervention."
"Alright,"
The Cyclic Will readily agreed.
At the same time, within his heart stirred a profound curiosity—how would his own esteemed younger brother deal with these billions of deities, and those hundred sovereign gods of the highest rank?
He had, of course, witnessed firsthand the power of his brother’s abilities—the Will of Cycles was no stranger to such feats.
Yet, faced with foes vastly outnumbering his own side, what strategy would his brother employ?
The Will of Cycles saw it unfold swiftly.
There, Zhou Zhan raised his right hand, palm facing downward toward the battlefield, and spoke softly:
"Among the lands, none are above the king."
*Shh!*
A nine-colored domain erupted instantly, radiating outward from Zhou Zhan’s center, spreading in all directions with breathtaking speed, and in a single breath, it enveloped the entire battlefield—completely enclosing both armies below.
Then, Zhou Zhan felt it—the fragile, painstakingly restored power of the Supreme Divine Force drained entirely, in an instant.
A wry smile flickered across his face.
The consumption today was truly immense.
Yet upon seeing the scene before him, His face once again broke into a smile.
Below, the divine armies of the Ultimate Void Race instantly abandoned all combat.
They raised their weapons simultaneously, their expressions filled with fervor, and bowed in unison toward the direction where Zhou Zhan stood.
"Salute, Your Majesty!"
This was no mere gathering—over two billion deities, more than thirty billion true gods, ten thousand chief deities, and over a hundred supreme gods!
All but ten beings of near-omnipotent will and the remaining second-tier and higher supreme deities had surrendered!
This sight—
immediately stunned the Cycle Will, who had witnessed it unfold in full.
His mouth opened wide, and for a moment, he forgot to close it.
Yet at this moment Zhou Zhan paid no attention to the expression of the Cyclical Will.
He was instead gazing at the recruitment prompt now appearing before him.
[Lord's Law Technique Prompt:]
[You have successfully applied the first-tier Supreme God Law Technique—“In the Land of Sovereignty, No Subject Shall Be King”—altering the thoughts and wills of all beings within the domain, transforming them entirely into loyal subjects of yours!]
[Congratulations! You have gained the allegiance of 21,890,127,323,810 Ultimate Void Gods, 3,300,823,821 Ultimate Void True Gods, 103,173 Ultimate Void Masters, and 111 Ultimate Void Supreme Gods!]
After reading it through, Zhou Zhan’s lips were nearly curled into a crooked dragon king’s grin.
The yield from this single application of “In the Land of Sovereignty, No Subject Shall Be King” was simply staggering—so much so that it could shock the entire multiverse!
Didn’t you see how even his sibling from the cycle stood frozen in astonishment?
They had just witnessed the power of “In the World, All Lands Are the Sovereign’s,” capable of suppressing the might of Supreme Will-tier beings.
But they did not know—my technique, “In the Land of Sovereignty, No Subject Shall Be King,” possesses a potential just as formidable, if not greater, than that very domain law.
