Chapter 1565: Spirit Herb Primary Main God Kingdom!

Chapter 1565: The Primary Divine Kingdom of Spiritual Medicine!

With all these matters finally settled, Zhou Zhou intended to return to the Reincarnation Sacred Palace to continue his cultivation.

Though he had just ascended to the rank of a Tier-2 Supreme God, his ultimate ambition was to attain the realm of the Supreme Will, or perhaps even transcend the state of the Will itself.

A mere Tier-2 Supreme Godhead was naturally not enough to breed complacency within him or halt his relentless march forward.

Yet, just at that moment.

Zhou Zhou’s personal terminal suddenly chimed, signaling an incoming communication.

Startled for a brief second, he then accepted the call.

Moments later.

A pillar of light shot forth from his personal terminal, rapidly condensing and taking shape before him until it manifested into the silhouette of Ling'er.

She appeared remarkably lifelike, not resembling a figure fashioned from light and shadow at all, but rather as though her true self were standing directly in front of Zhou Zhou.

Even Zhou Zhou needed to summon divine power to perceive that this "Ling'er" was formed from light and shadow, not a real person standing before him.

It was evident how remarkably authentic this light-and-shadow form truly was.

"Ling'er, what's up?"

Zhou Zhou asked with a smile, while quietly marveling at the astonishing pace of technological advancement in the Jiaoyang Divine Nation.

Though he already knew that the Jiaoyang Divine Nation had fully transitioned into a mixed virtual reality era, and society as a whole had reached the pinnacle of technological civilization, he still felt a deep sense of awe.

The path of technology, when pushed to its highest levels, could truly rival the might of the Supreme Deity, or even surpass the realm of Supreme Will.

Alas, in the Supreme and Crimson Cosmos, technological development had abruptly halted at the level of the Supreme Deity.

The path of technology at the level of Supreme Will had never emerged in either of those cosmoses.

Yet, according to the Ten Thousand Evil Demon Master, the Spring and Autumn Law Master once glimpsed through the river of time that within the Ultimate Void Cosmos, there existed a cosmos entirely built upon the path of technological laws—its technological advancement had reached an exceedingly profound level, and the master of that cosmos was a being who had ascended from a mechanical life form to achieve the state of Will Transcendence.

One day, I must go there and see it for myself.

If anything could be learned, it would surely push the technological advancement of the Prairial Divine Nation further, improving the lives of its people.

Zhou Zhou thought to himself.

"Brother."

Although Ling'er still looked like a child, his expression and smile clearly bore the demeanor of a young adult.

He felt a complex mix of emotions—both conflicted and deeply relieved.

Though the struggle among the myriad clans' lords had exposed Ling'er to experiences far beyond what a child should endure, given the current outcome, Ling'er was at least living well now.

"I have something wonderful to tell Brother!"

"The Supreme Realm Nation of Lingya has just officially advanced to the rank of Primary Supreme Domain Territory!"

Ling'er exclaimed with excitement.

"Oh!"

Zhou Zhou's eyes lit up at the words.

Finally, promotion achieved!

"Excellent work, Ling'er."

Zhou Zhou smiled and praised her.

"Brother, please don't tease me," Ling'er blushed, her cheeks flushing. "I didn't actually do much. I merely relied on your resources and managed to rise all the way to the rank of Junior Supreme God Domain Lord through sheer determination."

"As your elder brother, shouldn't I at least assist my little sister?"

Zhou Zhou chuckled warmly.

He never considered himself a completely selfless person.

Just as his treatment of his own domain's subjects differed vastly from that of foreign ones.

Those close to him—he naturally favored helping and bestowing gifts upon. Those beyond his reach? He cared little, for even his own people were hard to manage.

"Of course!"

Ling'er quickly replied.

"Let's go."

"Visit your divine realm."

Zhou Zhou smiled and said.

Then, in a single thought,

their divine bodies vanished instantly.

……

Within the Divine Realm of Herbal Medicine.

The Palace of the Herbs Emperor.

Zhou Zhou and Ling'er had just appeared here when Zhou Zhou immediately detected a strong scent of medicine.

At first glance, he saw that the clean and well-kept street he stood on was lined with merchants, most of whom sold herbs or were connected to the herbal trade, only a few offering other kinds of business.

And there were many customers buying these herbs.

From their habits, Zhou Zhou could clearly see that most of the vendors were locals from the Pharmacological Kingdom, while the buyers were mostly from foreign tribes, with only a few being citizens from other regions of the Spirit Herb Kingdom.

As Zhou Zhou and Ling'er walked along the street, observing the scene of the Pharmacological Capital, he grew more and more astonished.

The governance here is truly excellent.

In his memory, most of the lordly kingdoms did not compare to the Spirit Herb Kingdom in terms of administration.

It would be hard to believe, without seeing it with his own eyes, that the sovereign of this kingdom was actually a little girl.

"Your Pharmacological Capital is well governed,"

Zhou Zhou praised.

"Brother, in truth, I rarely have time to handle state affairs—I spend most of my days tending to the elixir gardens."

"I've appointed a prime minister to manage most of the administrative duties. Only when the prime minister finds a decision particularly difficult do I personally intervene."

"But I myself don't fully understand most matters, so I secretly consult with other masters, then relay their guidance as my own orders to the prime minister, who then passes them on."

Ling'er blushed slightly.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhou burst into laughter.

It was strangely similar to his own situation.

Meanwhile, the passersby nearby seemed oblivious, continuing with their own tasks as if nothing unusual had occurred.

If they knew that the sovereign of the Elixir Nation and the sovereign of the Sunny Nation were now standing right beside them, they would surely go into a frenzy instantly.

After all, both were figures long admired by them—especially Zhou Zhou, the Celestial Emperor Revered Across All Realms.

After observing for a while, Zhou Zhou and Ling'er arrived at the divine palace within the capital of the Elixir Sovereign.

"Brother, what should I do next?"

Ling asked curiously.

"It's simple—you just need to acknowledge that your Herb Kingdom truly belongs to the Jiaoyang Divine Realm."

Zhou Zhou said.

"But my Herb Kingdom was originally just a subordinate territory of yours, wasn't it?"

Ling expressed her confusion.

"A subordinate territory is still a subordinate territory, and it retains a certain degree of autonomy. That autonomy—no matter how powerful the Jiaoyang Divine Realm is—cannot be easily infringed upon."

"If you accept that statement, then your Herb Kingdom will fully become part of the Jiaoyang Divine Realm, with absolutely no autonomy left. It will effectively transform from a subordinate territory into a territory of the Jiaoyang Divine Realm—no different from one of its provinces."

Zhou Zhou explained.

"Ah, I see now."

"Then I admit it."

"I am willing to lead our Spirit Herb Sovereignty and fully submit to my elder brother's rule, becoming part of the Prairial Sovereignty."

Ling'er spoke without hesitation.

The moment her words fell,

Zhou Zhou immediately sensed it.

He opened his Sovereignty Ascension Panel and found that the task [Conquer a Primary Sovereign Nation Lord's Territory Not Under the Red Dominance (0/1)] had now changed to [Conquer a Primary Sovereign Nation Lord's Territory Not Under the Red Dominance (1/1)].

Additionally,

one of the requirements for upgrading the territory to a First-Class Supreme God-level Territory had shifted from ten Primary Sovereign Nation Lord's Territories to nine.

Zhou Zhou nodded slightly at this.

"Alright."

"Ling'er is so sweet."

Zhou Zhou closed the panel, then said to Ling'er.

"Is that it?"

Ling'er was surprised.

"Didn't you think it was much more complicated?"

Zhou Zhou chuckled.

"I must have overthought it."

Ling'er smiled.

Zhou Zhou nodded with a smile, then looked at Ling'er, as if realizing something, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Have you already reached the level above Supreme God?"

He exclaimed in surprise.

"It has already been four or five days since my ascension," Ling'er said with a refined smile.

Zhou Zhou nodded.

By now, the astonishment in his heart had dissipated.

Ling'er's innate talents, both as a lord and a cultivator, were already exceptional. Complemented by the boundless resources and various blessings of the Divine Kingdom of the Scorching Sun, it was hardly surprising that she had ascended to the rank of high-tier true god in such a brief span of time.

After a moment of contemplation, he handed her a world ring.

"Within this lie the cultivation resources required to ascend to the realm of a supreme god, alongside some insights regarding that breakthrough which I penned in my leisure."

"Take it and use it well."

"You are now the ruler of a primary true god kingdom. While a true god's might is generally sufficient, when it comes to power, the higher it is, the better."

"Thank you, brother."

Ling'er's eyes lit up instantly, and she eagerly accepted it.

Since ascending to a higher rank among the Supreme Deities, He had increasingly felt the difficulty of reaching the status of the Highest God.

At first, He had been worried—what should come next?

But now, with the cultivation resources and insights sent by his own brother, Ling'er immediately felt that the path ahead for his ascension would no longer be daunting.

Who was his elder brother?

He was the first cultivation prodigy across the entire universe!

His breakthrough insights—certainly invaluable for His own progress.

At that very moment,

He heard Zhou Zhou say once again:

"I just used my willpower to observe the overall development of your Herb Kingdom."

"Your Herb Kingdom has done quite well economically, especially in the cultivation and trade of medicinal herbs."

"But it still falls short in military strength."

Ling'er listened silently, lowering her head and stammering without speaking.

In truth, among all the kingdoms, even among the advanced kingdom-level lord factions, her Herb Kingdom had achieved remarkable development.

Its military capabilities were hardly behind.

Yet she understood why her elder brother had made that assessment.

He must have judged it by her own standards.

What was the level of the Jiaoyang Kingdom?

Could her Herb Kingdom possibly match that?

Ling'er felt that even if His Divine Medicine Kingdom advanced another ten thousand years, it would still never reach the military might of his own elder brother.

That's why He remained silent.

Zhou Zhou also quickly realized that his request might be too high.

He stroked his chin, refrained from speaking further on that matter, and instead said:

"Tomorrow I'll send you some Supreme Divine Weapons and Certificates of Promotion for the Supreme Divine Law Beings."

"You may use these to upgrade your status and strengthen the military power of your Divine Medicine Kingdom."

"After all, as the second realm lord to ascend to Junior Supreme God status in the Highest Great Cosmos, your strength is surely being watched by those higher-tier God Kingdom realm lords. You must never reveal your weaknesses before them."

Upon hearing this, Ling'er's eyes sparkled again.

Supreme Divine Weapons and Certificates of Promotion for the Supreme Divine Law Beings!

Were those not the most powerful units under his elder brother's command!?

How could Brother have used their career certification to bolster his military strength?

Brother treats himself so well!

Ling'er thought it in her heart.

Though this wasn't the first time he had done so.

Yet Ling'er remained deeply touched.

"By the way, how are your parents?"

Zhou Zhou asked with concern.

With his current power, finding Ling'er's biological parents would be a simple task.

Unfortunately, upon locating them, Zhou Zhou discovered they had perished in the War of Lords.

Fortunately, there were many among his followers who possessed the ability to resurrect the dead, so he effortlessly revived them and reunited them with Ling'er.

"They have been residing on the Blue Star since renouncing their lordship, rarely returning to the Supreme Continent."

Ling'er said.

Zhou Zhou nodded.

Not everyone could adapt to the brutal and bloody environment of lordship struggles.

Especially for those who had already died once—perhaps they didn't just fail to grow accustomed to lordship battles, but instead grew more afraid of such a world.

Thus, Zhou Zhou wasn't surprised by their departure.

"There's time to visit home more often."

"Indeed!"

Ling'er nodded firmly.

Then, after a few more conversations, Zhou Zhou returned to the Palace of the Cyclic Immortality to continue his cultivation.

At the same time.

Zhou Wu had already brought Tanatos, Nasarioc, and ten thousand divine beings of superior rank to the Chaos Sea.

Upon finding the Chaos God-Monsters, they discovered that this time the Chaos God-Monsters numbered exactly three hundred and thirteen.

Zhou Wu nodded silently at this.

Even more than yesterday.

The Chaos God-Monsters, in regard to the tasks issued by their core, had indeed performed with utmost diligence.

Then, he led the divine beings before them.

"We bow before the Majesty!"

"Before the Supreme God of Death, before the Holy Dragon of the Abyss."

At the sight of Zhou Wu and his companions, the Chaos God-Monsters immediately bowed with reverence.

Zhou Wu nodded slightly, smiling,

"Good work, you all."

The Time-Space Chaos Deities immediately bowed respectfully,

"To serve the Emperor, we would die a hundred times over."

Zhou Wu nodded, then bestowed upon the Time-Space Chaos Deities a total of 1,252 primary divine artifacts. With a single palm, he annihilated these three hundred and thirteen Chaos Deities.

After extracting the spoils, they amassed a total of 1,288 units of Chaos Divine Treasures.

Then, gazing upon the Time-Space Chaos Deities before him, he flipped his right hand, and there, in his grasp, appeared a *Book of the Divine Spirit* at the level of a First-Rank Supreme God.

"This is a *Book of the Divine Spirit* left behind by a First-Rank Supreme God."

"Time-Space."

"Your efforts have been truly grueling these past days."

"This is your reward."

Zhou Zhou said, presenting the Book of Divinities to the other Chaos Deities.

The other Chaos Deities' eyes turned crimson.

That was the Book of Divinities—of the highest divine tier!

With just this single artifact, their chances of ascending to the highest divine rank would increase by at least forty percent.

How could they not be envious?

Zhou Wu observed this and merely said calmly:

"You have no need to envy them."

"As long as you remain loyal to the Emperor and continue serving him."

"Each of you deities may obtain the Supreme Divine Scripture of the Highest Divine Realm."

"Even better rewards are possible."

"Yes, Your Majesty!!"

Upon hearing this, the chaotic deities and demons erupted into fervent and resolute voices.

Zhou Wu nodded.

Then they journeyed once more to the temporal ruins of Chaotic Death, acquiring another 170 units of Chaotic Divine Treasures.

Added to the 1432 units already remaining from before, the total quantity of Chaotic Divine Treasures now in his possession amounts to 2,890 units.

Zhou Wu nodded.

That number is acceptable.

Upgrade the territory to a first-tier Supreme God Territory requires a full ten thousand units of Chaotic God Treasures.

We now have nearly three-tenths of that amount.

"From now on, it will depend entirely on the Chaotic God Treasure veins in the Crimson Cosmic Domain and the harvest from the Ultimate Void Cosmic Domain."

"I wonder just how abundant the Chaotic God Treasure yields are in those two places?"

Zhou Wu thought to himself.
