Chapter 1552: Secrets of the Delusional Clan!

At that moment, the Supreme Will suddenly chuckled, "Why don't you join us in our campaign against the Ultimate Void Clan?"

Zhou Zhou's body trembled at the words, and he quickly replied,

"This I absolutely won't participate in. With the Supreme Will's presence, victory will be within reach—my involvement would likely be nothing but a wasted effort."

"How could that be acceptable?"

The Supreme Will shook his head with a smile. "You've reached this point through your own efforts—your name deserves to be first in the records. Now, I'm about to claim the final fruits of victory. If you don't join, wouldn't that seem a great loss?"

Just as Zhou Zhou was about to respond, he suddenly realized what was happening and sighed bitterly,

"Supreme Will, please don't tease me like this."

"You know my nature well—throughout my life, I've never taken part in wars that surpass my own level."

"The war to attack the Sacred Realm of the Ultimate Void Race will inevitably draw in Strongers of the Supreme Will State, and even you might personally step into the fray, facing off against that Void Emperor."

"I'm just a small-time figure, barely able to hold my own. For my own survival, I'd rather stay out of this."

"Besides, I have to go to the Yellow Springs Realm in three days to compete for the inheritance of the Dusk Will."

"I simply don't have the capacity to manage multiple roles—there's no way I can participate in your war."

The Supreme Will glanced at Him with a look of utter disbelief.

Now, across the multiverse, even the slightest bit of status among the realms knows that the Emperor of the People, Master of the Body-Part Technique, stands alone in mastery.

Just two of his offshoots—Zhou Wu and Zhou Zhan—have nearly conquered the entire Supreme Continent; the other offshoot is only two four-tier Supreme God-level war territories away from claiming the entire Ultimate Void Battlefield.

Though other offshoots may not be as renowned as these two, they have still achieved extraordinary feats within their own domains.

Do you lack the ability to create duplicates?

Then how would those other masters of duplication evaluate their own skill in creating copies?

Is there nothing at all to recommend him?

Yet, after hearing Zhou Zhou's words, He did not press further.

He knew Zhou Zhou's nature well.

Those words were merely said to amuse him.

Instead, He said:

"If you join in the transmission of the Will of the Afterlife, that would be quite beneficial—precisely the chance to meet the enemies of the Unreal Clan, to learn about them. As one of my heirs, you will inevitably have to interact with them in the future."

"The Unreal Clan…"

Zhou Zhou silently repeated the name in his mind.

He had long heard of this race's reputation.

Yet, he had never actually encountered them.

Unlike the Heavenly Punishment God King, the Spring-Autumn Law Master, and the Universal Demon Master, who have already clashed with the Wandering Race.

Especially the Heavenly Punishment God King.

According to the information the Universal Demon Master had given him, since becoming the first reserve of the Supreme Sovereign, the Heavenly Punishment God King has resided continuously in the Twilight Lands, engaging in warfare with the Wandering Race right up to the present day.

In terms of understanding the Wandering Race, the Heavenly Punishment God King ranks second.

Across the countless heavens and realms, aside from the Supreme Will, all other beings' knowledge of the Wandering Race is likely far behind that of the Heavenly Punishment God King.

Looking at it this way,

there were still many areas where he needed to catch up.

With this thought in mind,

Zhou Zhou's anticipation for the contest for the inheritance of the Yellow Springs Will three days hence grew even stronger.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Will observed Zhou Zhou's expression, pondered for a moment, and said:

"How much do you know about the race of Delusion?"

"Not much."

Zhou Zhou spoke plainly.

The information he had was all secondhand, gleaned from others' words. As for the true race of Delusion, he had never seen them with his own eyes. Hmm... if the legends were true, then the Supreme Will and the Celestial Curse Beast might qualify as members of the Delusion race, perhaps?

The Supreme Will shook his head slightly, then said:

"Then I'll give you a brief account of the Delusion race."

"The Delusion race is an exceptionally peculiar one."

"In the world they inhabit, ordinary beings—lacking any transcendent power—rule supreme."

"And the Delusion race arose entirely from the imaginations of those ordinary beings."

"So, within those beings' minds, the Delusion race is also known as 'products of delusion.'"

If this discourse were to spread, it would surely shock every deity across the myriad realms and universes.

A world of transcendent beings, whose status is no less than that of the Supreme Cosmic and Crimson Cosmic realms—its sovereigns could be nothing but ordinary living beings devoid of any supernatural power?

To even conceive of such a thing is utterly inconceivable.

Yet Zhou Zhou had already, beforehand, gleaned from the words of the Universal Demon Master some knowledge about the Wandering Race, so he did not feel overly astonished at present.

Still, though not deeply shocked, a quiet sense of wonder stirred within him—how could such a world exist in this realm?

The Supreme Will continued:

"Do you remember what I once told you—our race and the Wandering Race are fundamentally opposed, born from enmity from the very beginning?"

"Or rather, every being across all great cosmoses within the Ultimate Void Environment is inherently and by nature in opposition to the Wandering Race."

"Of course, I remember."

Zhou Zhou nodded.

The Supreme Will nodded, saying, "The reason lies precisely here."

"Because the Clan of Illusion was born from the void of imagination. Their wills transcend realms, and to ascend to the realm of eternal immortality, they must shatter illusion and attain truth—only then can truth and illusion be unified, allowing them to achieve the state of eternal immortality."

"To accomplish this, there is currently only one method."

"That is to invade the Real World—the ultimate Void Cosmos where we dwell."

"If they conquer our ultimate Void Cosmos, their own Void will be unified with truth and illusion. Their wills that transcend realms will then effortlessly ascend to the rank of eternal immortality."

"And we, the real beings existing within this Cosmos, will lose our very foundation of existence, vanishing silently into this universe—never to return."

"In short,"

"The Clan of Illusion seeks to seize our very essence of existence in order to fuel the ascension of their wills that transcend realms into eternal immortality."

"This is precisely why we must resolutely resist their invasion."

"And why the other side must resolutely invade our Cosmos."

The Supreme Will spoke with stern solemnity.

Zhou Zhou nodded solemnly.

Though he had already gleaned some internal details through the words of the Universal Demon Master, hearing now such a detailed explanation from the Supreme Will left him profoundly heavy-hearted.

This deluded clan seeks to seize their very essence!

Should their plan succeed, they would be utterly annihilated—like falling prey to an instant death law—vanishing instantly, with no chance of survival at all.

Cold glimmers flashed in his eyes.

These fools dare to plot against me!

He would absolutely not allow them to continue doing so.

To be honest...

If he had heard those words of the Supreme Will in the past, he might have sensed the situation was dire, but would not have taken any active steps.

After all, in his former state, he lacked the power to act at all, let alone to resist the incursions of the Delusional Clan.

To survive was already a great achievement.

But now, he had ascended to the rank of First Supreme God. In terms of combat strength, declaring him the foremost Supreme God beneath the Realm of Supreme Will would likely leave few gods disputing it.

And he would eventually rise to the Realm of Supreme Will, even to the transcendence of pure will.

Thus,

it was merely a matter of time before the Delusional Clan would appear before Zhouzhou, threatening his very person.

And when that time came, he would possess the strength to contribute meaningfully in resisting their invasion.

Therefore, Zhouzhou’s current mindset of being cautious despite apparent safety can be seen as a well-considered preparation.

"There will be powerful members of the Delusional Clan arriving during the struggle over the inheritance of the Yellow Springs Will."

"Then, when the time comes, I shall finally learn the true nature of this delusional race's methods."

Zhou Zhou thought to himself.

Suddenly, another thought struck him, and he asked:

"If the delusional race are our ultimate enemies across the entire void cosmos, why have no powerful beings from other universes come to assist us in resisting their invasion?"

"According to my knowledge, since the delusional race first invaded our great cosmos, it seems we have been fighting alone—no allies from beyond."

"What on earth is going on?"

The Supreme Will replied, "There are two reasons for this."

"The first reason is..."

"Long, long ago, when the delusional race first invaded our ultimate void cosmos, we had only just begun to realize that beyond our own cosmos existed another world—like a pair of yin and yang fish—fundamentally opposite in nature to ours, yet mutually interdependent, existing in balance."

"We took a long time to realize the treacherous intentions of the Illusory Race's invasion. To counter their assault, a great being convened us, summoning us to deliberate on how to respond to the threat posed by the Illusory Race."

"Great Being?"

Zhou Zhou was startled.

"Yes," the Supreme Will nodded slightly, "that was a great being who had attained the realm of eternal immortality through solitary cultivation."

"He was a being who, through his own relentless practice, had ascended to the state of eternal immortality."

"But now that being has departed from our Ultimate Void Cosmos. We still do not know where he has gone."

Zhou Zhou nodded in agreement.

The Supreme Will, seeing this, continued:

"It was during that very meeting that we first grasped the terrifying nature of the Illusory Race."

"For they managed to take root deeply within our imaginations simply through our very discussions and exchanges—then, directly emerging from our thoughts, stepping into our Ultimate Void Cosmos."

“That was an incalculable catastrophe.”

“The Great Existence did not choose to intervene at that time.”

“Perhaps because the other side had not deployed a being of eternal and unshakable might—so the Great Existence remained silent.”

“Only after we had lost countless Great Will Beings and over a hundred Will-Transcendent Masters did we finally eradicate the Delusion Race entirely from our universe.”

“After that battle, we were left shattered. It took a full million years before we could begin to recover our strength.”

“Precisely because of that catastrophe, we came to realize that the existence of the Delusion Race must never be spoken of lightly.”

“The more we discuss them, the more these terrifying entities manifest in our imaginations.”

“The stronger the existence we speak of, the more powerful the Delusion Race beings that emerge from such thoughts become.”

“From that day forward, we established a rule.”

“Ban any public discourse concerning the Delusion Race.”

"Even in private discussions, it is strictly forbidden—only thoughts within one's own mind are permitted."

"Even if our entire cosmos is invaded by the Wandering Race, we must not make this public. We should attempt to resolve matters independently whenever possible. Only when we are utterly unable to do so on our own should we seek assistance from the powerful beings of other cosmoses."

"And even in such cases of requesting external aid, we must not broadly search for help—only limited, localized support is allowed. This is to prevent too many powerful beings from learning of the Wandering Race's existence, which might provoke a massive descent of their forces and trigger a second great catastrophe."

"Because of this rule, the various cosmoses of our Ultimate Void Race have become isolated, like islands cut off from one another."

"We scarcely communicate, exchange information, or meet one another—except under necessity or at pre-established, fixed intervals."

"This is merely the first reason."

"The second reason lies within the very nature of the Wandering Race themselves."

"Without external guidance, they are incapable of launching large-scale invasions or penetrating our Ultimate Void Cosmos."

"They can at best conduct small-scale, localized incursions into our realm."

"Such limited forces prevent them from declaring war against our entire Ultimate Void Cosmos—instead, they are confined to attacking only a single target."

"Thus, they also did not wish to spread the news of their invasion into a vast cosmos, drawing the strength of powerful beings from other cosmoses to assist them."

"Among them, one master of concealing the will of fate, a being at the peak of transcendence, employed his illusionary secret technique, rendering our Supreme Cosmos and the Crimson Cosmos into a single entity incapable of transmitting any message outward."

"Even I, cannot unravel their secret technique."

"Once I step beyond the reach of the Supreme Cosmos and the Crimson Cosmos, I would forget entirely that my own cosmos had been invaded by the Wandering Race."

"The Crimson Sovereign is no different."

"Even the Void Emperor who invaded our cosmos, along with his ultimate void armies, would remember that our cosmos had been attacked by the Wandering Race within the Ultimate Void Battlefield."

"But as soon as they step outside the battlefield, they instantly forget everything about the Wandering Race—believing themselves merely conducting a normal invasion, with no trace of the Wandering Race ever existing in their memories."

"How powerful is the Wandering Race? They can even erase the memory of the Supreme Will itself?"

Zhou Zhou was struck by astonishment.

"Their divine system is exceptionally unique. Though I consider myself among the top-tier beings at the level of transcendence of will, I still have no power against their divine abilities."

The Supreme Will shook his head.

"What is their transcendent system?"

Zhou Zhou asked curiously.

The Wandering Demon Sovereign hadn't told him.

"Concept Deities."

The Supreme Will said.
