[Lord's Talent: The King of Treasures (Advanced·Unique)]

[The King of Treasures: You are the most renowned King of Treasures across the infinite realms, the ultimate treasure of the multiverse. Should you desire any treasure, its acquisition will be as simple as reaching into a sack and taking what you want.

As the King of Treasures, you are naturally favored by the spiritual essence of the greatest treasures throughout the multiverse. Some artifacts, under the right circumstances, will even proactively fall into your hands.

Moreover, you possess an almost innate sense of treasure detection within a 1000 jing light-year radius around you—your ability to sense the precise location of treasures is sharp and acute, and you can instantly glean detailed information about them.

Additionally, any treasures you collect that possess time-limited or durability-related properties can be enhanced through your extensive experience in preservation and curation. You can extend their usable lifespan by up to 100 times.

You may also expend some of your personal treasure fortune to transform time-limited items into permanent ones, or to extract their full potential, enabling them to perform far beyond their normal capabilities. However, once such potential is exhausted, these items will suffer varying degrees of damage, and in some cases, may completely fail, rendering them unusable.

Whenever you gather different treasures, you will receive a corresponding amount of treasure fortune feedback based on their rarity. This will also directly enhance your own power level—rareer treasures yield greater feedback and thus greater power growth; lesser treasures result in minimal gains.

When extracting spoils from corpses, the success rate increases by 100%.]

After reading it through, Zhou Zhou's eyes suddenly lit up.

This supreme, singular master's talent enhancement is excellent.

Except for the final one, which increases the explosion rate by 100% and has no effect upon Him, all other talents deeply appeal to Him.

First, the treasure will automatically recognize Him as its master—this effect, Zhou Zhou finds particularly appealing.

Who wouldn't love the feeling of gaining without effort?

Additionally, He possesses a treasure intuition that allows Him to perceive all treasures within a 1,000 jing light-year radius around Himself, detecting not only their locations but also their associated details. This ability is immensely useful.

After all, it's a near-taught instinct for every treasure within a 1,000 jing light-year range!

One thousand jing light-years!

The diameter of a vast cosmos barely reaches 1,000 zhe.

The treasure king's treasure intuition is a full ten thousand times greater than that!

Thus, it follows that...

The King of Treasures stood there, his treasure intuition awakened. Instantly, within a range spanning ten thousand great worlds in diameter, he could perceive every single treasure—clear as day.

This is truly the King of Treasures!

Zhou Zhou nodded with satisfaction.

He had chosen to elevate this lordly talent to the highest tier—unique—precisely for this very effect.

With this power, whether scouring for Chaos Divine Treasures within the Chaotic God Mine Vein of the Crimson Cosmos, or aiding the mysterious trading syndicate and his own duplicates in searching and gathering Chaos Divine Treasures and Ultimate Void Crystals across the Ultimate Void Cosmos, became vastly more efficient.

That is precisely why, despite the importance of upgrading the Crimson Nidus, the Mysterious Trading Syndicate, and the Life Ark, Zhou Zhou had prioritized elevating this lordly talent first.

Moreover, the ability to extend the duration of a treasure’s use, transforming temporary treasures into permanent ones, and extracting greater potential from them to unleash stronger effects—these were utterly extraordinary.

And collecting treasures could even enhance his own power.

Though he was already a Second-Order Supreme God, this effect might no longer apply.

Yet Zhou Zhou cared not at all.

Because His treasures are so abundant!

With the supreme, exclusive Lord's Talent of Heavenly Fate Emperor, the treasures he acquires each day can be described only in terms of vastness.

Under the influence of these treasures—despite the fact that the majority are of low rank—the sheer volume may trigger a qualitative transformation, enabling a steady and reliable enhancement of Zhou Zhou's power.

Zhou Zhou originally believed that ascending from a second-tier Supreme God to a third-tier Supreme God would take him a long time.

But now, with this Lord's Talent at his disposal, he feels certain that the duration will be significantly shortened—allowing him to achieve mastery of the Supreme Will Realm earlier than ever before.

Moreover, the concept of "treasure fortune" is mentioned here.

At the very moment Zhou Zhou gained this Lord's Talent, he instantly understood its meaning.

"Treasure fortune" refers to the probability of encountering treasures.

The higher the treasure fortune, the more likely one is to come across treasures—especially high-quality ones;

The lower the fortune of a treasure, the less likely one is to encounter it;

If a treasure's fortune is too low, it might even vanish without cause, falling into the hands of others.

Zhou Zhou, through the gift of a lord, observed the fortune of his own treasures.

The result revealed that his treasures' fortune was beyond exaggeration.

Even an ordinary master of Supreme Will might not possess a fortune as high as Zhou Zhou's.

To this, Zhou Zhou felt no surprise at all.

He still remembered the stunned expression of Supreme Will when he first revealed his five ten-thousand pieces of Supreme Artifacts.

Even Supreme Will, so powerful, was astonished by the sheer number of his Supreme Artifacts—how could his treasures' fortune be so extraordinarily high? He found it utterly unsurprising.

Returning to himself,

Zhou Zhou murmured with a sense of contemplation:

"This lord's aptitude is truly exceptional."

"It's no waste that, through all this journey, he's elevated the once-bronze-tier lord's aptitude—The Scavenger—up to the present pinnacle of the highest tier, the sole lord's aptitude, The King of Treasures."

"Now, including this lord's aptitude, I possess a total of eight highest-tier, exclusive lord's aptitudes."

He nodded with satisfaction.

Then he rose and departed from the Palace of Cyclic Rebirth, making his way to Mu Gu's residence.

Upon arriving, Zhou Zhou observed Mu Gu sipping tea, while Wu Xin had already led his army into the nest to hunt the nest monsters.

"You truly do enjoy tea, don't you?"

Zhou Zhou shook his head and chuckled.

It seemed that every time he came here, he found either Mu Gu drinking tea, or sipping it while chatting with Wu Xin, who had just finished his duties.

"The tea from the homeland of the Emperor, though lacking any miraculous properties, possesses a subtle elegance when savored carefully."

Mu Gu smiled softly.

Zhou Zhou saw this and said nothing, then sat down casually across from Mu Gu.

But upon seeing this, Mu Gu immediately stood up and began to brew tea for Zhou Zhou. After finishing, he stood respectfully behind Zhou Zhou, as if waiting for further instructions.

"Sit down, drink with me."

Zhou Zhou said casually.

Hearing this, Mu Gu sat down and began to drink tea with Zhou Zhou.

A moment passed.

Then, a golden streak of light shot out from the crimson nest and landed on the ground, revealing the form of Wu Xin.

Wu Xin appeared weary, yet his eyes sparkled with excitement—as if he had just witnessed something that brought him joy.

And then, he saw Zhou Zhou.

"I have the honor to see the Emperor."

Wu Xin suppressed the excitement bubbling within him and spoke respectfully.

"Wu General, it seems you're in a good mood today," Zhou Zhou teased.

"Emperor, I just obtained an immense haul from the Crimson Nidus."

"Please, Emperor, allow me to show you."

Without delay, Wu Xin produced three World Rings and handed them over to Zhou Zhou.

Zhou Zhou, secretly eager, accepted them at once, and his willpower immediately entered the rings.

Within the first ring, he saw a full 500 billion copies of the "Book of Recruitment for Supreme Divine Weapons" and 500 billion copies of the "Book of Recruitment for Supreme Divine Martial Arts Masters." The second ring contained 500 billion copies of the "Certificate of Promotion for Supreme Divine Weapons" and 500 billion copies of the "Certificate of Promotion for Supreme Divine Martial Arts Masters!"

The final ring, meanwhile, held a vast array of other treasures.

"Very good! Very good! Very good!"

Zhou Zhou's voice trembled with excitement, echoing the three "good" words in rapid succession.

This was no ordinary matter—twenty yuān of imperial recruitment documents and promotion certificates!

It would instantly multiply His army's strength by tenfold!

Any lord who received such a gift would be electrified.

Zhou Zhou was no exception.

Taking a deep breath, He handed the promotion certificate to Wu Xin, instructing Him to go and recruit the reserve soldiers, transforming them into Supreme Divine Soldiers and Supreme Divine Clerics.

Wu Xin received the World Ring with solemn reverence.

As the one who had acquired these spoils, He knew perfectly well what immense value lay within the ring.

To put it plainly—

The goods within this world ring could not be exchanged for ten advanced divine realms.

This is the future of the Prairial Divine Realm!

He took a deep breath, then carefully stored it away, and after bidding farewell to Zhou Zhou, he departed immediately.

At Zhou Zhou's location, he also left the Fudì of Muge right away, stepping out of the divine realm and arriving at the Summoning Gate.

Then he summoned a fleet of eternal battle cruisers rated at the level of Supreme Deity, and cast all ten hundred-million recruitment notices into the Summoning Gate. After spending 100 Supreme Deity-grade divine crystals, he immediately recruited them all and assigned them to this eternal battle cruiser.

When he saw the internal world of the cruiser suddenly swell with exactly ten thousand named soldiers, a smile broke across his face.

Is this what it feels like when forces dramatically increase?

No matter how many times he has experienced it, each time still feels utterly magnificent.

Then, spending another 100 Supreme Deity-grade divine crystals, he summoned 66.6 billion and 66.66 million and 6,000 pure-blooded dragon clans, placing them all aboard another eternal mother cruiser.

He then carefully observed these dragons and discovered that this time, two Legendary Dragon Clans had also been summoned.

Among the legendary dragon clans was the Storm Dragon God—Zorn!

The other legendary clan was the Natural Holy Dragon—Erela!

One excelled in the path of storm laws; the other mastered the manipulation of natural forces.

Both were renowned among the legendary dragon clans.

Then He sent these pure-blooded dragon clans to serve in the Dragon God Army.

Subsequently, Zhou Zhou spent 100 primary god-tier divine crystals to summon today's populace.

This time, a total of over 26.1 billion commoners were summoned—some 5.1 billion more than the usual amount.

Among them, the strongest were fourteen primary god-tier divine beings.

After assigning His subordinates to properly distribute these new soldiers and citizens, He journeyed alone to Yu Jing Mountain, spending 1,000 jing of lower-tier divine crystals of the lower gods to summon 100 jing of heavenly soldiers, heavenly generals, and heavenly sovereigns.

At this very moment—

Shushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushush

It has never ceased.

Though today's number of newly ascended deities is significantly smaller than yesterday's.

The gods still do not care much.

For even these newly crowned chief deities and supreme beings are nothing the ones among them can compare themselves to. Such a spectacle is already enough to inspire awe in them.

"Indeed, the Emperor of the People is no ordinary figure. Chosen directly by the Supreme Will himself as one of the Fourth Reserve Masters of the Supreme Sovereign—each time, he accomplishes things beyond our wildest expectations."

One deity, murmuring this with quiet admiration, then departed.

The others, seeing this, ceased their observation and left as well.

They had decided to grow accustomed to, and accept, the daily emergence of new chief deities and supreme beings within the Sun-Emperor's Realm.

Otherwise, each time they would react with shock and astonishment, as if they possessed little wisdom or insight.

Accustom yourself. Accustom yourself.

They comforted themselves in their hearts.

...

Meanwhile.

At this moment, Zhou Zhou's side was already filled with these newly ascended deities and supreme gods.

After a brief conversation, Zhou Zhou gifted each of them a divine artifact.

The gods were overwhelmed with excitement and then departed.

Once they had all left, Zhou Zhan quietly calculated the strength of his main combat forces.

Originally, his forces consisted of 2 yao, 7922 jing, 2387 zhao, 1925 yi, 2374 wan, 3888 soldiers; 7997 yi, 8136 wan, 2618 divine beings; 144 yi, 8809 wan, 9388 true gods; 24 wan, 1981 main gods; 182 supreme gods; and 1 being of near-omnipotent will.

Adding today's newly recruited and promoted forces—20 yao of fresh troops, 666 billion, 6666 million, 6000 pure-blooded dragon beings, 100 jing of heavenly soldiers, 16,610 newly ascended main gods, and 6 newly ascended supreme gods—the total strength of his forces now stood at: 22 yao, 8022 jing, 2387 zhao, 2565 yi, 2374 wan, 3888 soldiers; 8004 yi, 4802 wan, 9218 divine beings; 144 yi, 8811 wan, 9388 true gods; 25 wan, 8591 main gods; 184 supreme gods; and still 1 being of near-omnipotent will!!

Zhou Zhou nodded in satisfaction after reading it.

200 million soldiers!

Near one trillion spirits!

Billions of true gods!

Twenty-five million chief deities!

Nearly two hundred supreme gods!

One cultivator of nearly transcendental will realm!

Such forces would rank among the very elite in any supreme god's domain.

Then Zhou Zhou sensed the baseline potential of the current populace of the Jiaoyang Divine Clan.

And then, a smile reappeared on His face!

Mid-tier God, upper level!

With 4,213 newly ascended human race main gods and 2 newly elevated human race supreme deities, the potential of the Prajya Divine Clan has clearly advanced from mid-tier god, intermediate level, to mid-tier god, upper level!

Indeed!

Another small step upward.

Then, He sensed it—how many newly ascended human race main gods would be required to elevate the Prajya Divine Clan's potential from mid-tier god, upper level, to upper-tier god, lower level?

A moment later.

Zhou Zhou knew the answer.

"50,000."

He slowly nodded.

That number was undoubtedly staggering.

Even though countless new primary gods and supreme gods emerged each day under Zhou Zhou's command, it would still take an inordinately long time to achieve this goal.

Yet Zhou Zhou did not rush.

There was no pressing matter at the moment. He had ample time to wait, patiently, quietly.

"There are still 4,187 slots left for newly ascended primary gods under my command."

"Another 45,813 new primary gods must be attained before I can reach the minimum potential threshold for lower-tier upper gods."

"At most, one week."

"Zhou Zhan and his followers should be able to accomplish this by then."

Zhou Zhou thought.
