Chapter 1577: Third-Order Supreme God!

Chapter 1577: A Three-Stage Supreme God!

"Brother, are you planning to enter the Ultimate Void Battlefield?"

Upon hearing this, the Ten Thousand Evil Master's eyes lit up instantly, and he chuckled eagerly, "Then I'll have a grand feast tomorrow—just us brothers, enjoying a proper reunion."

On the surface, Zhou Zhou's expression remained calm and unbothered. Yet within, a storm of emotions surged violently.

He said nothing in reply to the Evil Master's words. In his mind, only one thought persisted:

How did I suddenly say that?

As if some deep, instinctual force within me had driven these words forth.

Strange!

How strangely unsettling!

This was the first time Zhou Zhou had ever experienced such a sensation.

With a slightly somber countenance, He recalled the various bloodline inheritances within His mind, seeking to uncover the reason behind this inexplicable behavior.

As it turned out, He discovered that the causes leading to such behavior were numerous.

For instance, charm-type abilities, destiny-type abilities, control-type abilities, curse-type abilities...

Across a vast array of diverse power systems, many methods could manipulate a living being into uttering a specific phrase.

However.

He was a Second-Order Supreme God!

Furthermore, He possessed combat prowess comparable to a top-tier peak Quasi-Supreme Will realm powerhouse; even if a true Supreme Will realm powerhouse were to stand before Him, He still had the capability to preserve His own life!

For an existence at His level, there was no longer any method of the same tier that could forcibly control Him into doing what He had just done.

Unless...

A powerhouse of the Supreme Will realm, or perhaps even the Will Transcendence realm, had secretly intervened, which would indeed allow them to accomplish such a feat silently and without a trace.

But within the supreme, infinite cosmos, who dares to tamper with this Fourth Reserve Lord of the Supreme Sovereign, right under the eye of the Supreme Will?

Not only dares no one—no one could possibly do such a thing.

Could the Supreme Will really be a vegetarian?

That was a being who slaughtered a Void Emperor as easily as killing a chicken.

Even the Crimson Sovereign would never dare to do it.

"What exactly happened?"

Zhou Zhou's mind grew dark.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Finally, the Wàn Xié Mó Zhǔ sensed that his elder brother's emotions were off, and asked with concern.

"Nothing."

"Only suddenly recalled some things."

Zhou Zhou came back to himself and spoke to Wan Xie Mo Zhu.

Wan Xie Mo Zhu nodded.

He could sense that his elder brother was withholding something from him.

But since his brother didn't wish to share, he wouldn't press further.

And he believed, with his brother's capabilities, if he hadn't reached out for help, then it was most likely he could handle it on his own.

At that moment,

a new thought arose in Zhou Zhou's mind.

Since he had just inexplicably mentioned the idea of personally going to the Ultimate Void Battlefield,

why not actually go there and see what had transpired—what exactly had caused him to lose control and utter those words?

Of course.

He would not send his own essence there.

Instead, he would dispatch a fragment of himself to observe the situation at the Final Void Battlefield.

"Lord of Supreme Will, are you still present at the Final Void Battlefield?"

Zhou Zhou suddenly asked this question.

"The essence has already departed," said Wan Xie Magistrate. "However, Lord of Supreme Will left behind a fragment to oversee and monitor the current state here."

"Since the Void Emperor was just slain by Lord of Supreme Will, and the Supreme Will fears that, should He depart, the Final Void race might suddenly reveal some transcendent-level reserve to disrupt the battlefield, a fragment was thus left behind to ensure stability."

Zhou Zhou nodded.

A deep breath of relief surged through his chest.

If Lord of Supreme Will had left a fragment behind, then He must be even more willing to send another fragment to the Final Void Battlefield.

With a fragment of the Supreme Will present, there should be no unforeseen incidents on this journey.

"Since my elder brother is coming tomorrow, I'll collect both the ultimate void crystal within the Holy Realm and the primordial divine artifact today. When my brother arrives tomorrow, I'll hand them over directly to him."

Wan Xie Magistrate said.

"Very well."

Zhou Zhou nodded.

After chatting for a while, the two parted ways and ended the communication.

Then Zhou Zhou returned to the Palace of Cyclic Rebirth, resuming his cultivation.

The next day.

Zhou Zhou slowly opened his eyes.

Feeling the surging divine power within him and the increasingly refined divine essence, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

A Three-Stage Supreme God!

Not long after his last ascension to a Two-Stage Supreme God, he had already achieved another breakthrough—now a Three-Stage Supreme God.

Such progress is nothing short of terrifying.

Then, with a mere thought, he summoned the details of his new Three-Stage Supreme God abilities.

First came the most frequently used technique: "The King."

[Technique Name: The King]

[Technique Rank: Three-Stage Supreme God]

[Ability Description: As a Three-Stage Supreme God on the Lord's Law Path, you may mark 100% of the populace within a territory, and command twentyfold mastery over everything they possess—be it appearance, lineage, skills, weapons, techniques, or even the elusive concept of fate.

When you fully command every aspect of the marked individual, that person will be immune to any negative effects.]

Zhou Zhou read it through and nodded in satisfaction.

The multiplier has surged from tenfold to twentyfold!

It's doubled outright!

This means His power has once again skyrocketed by a full factor!

His strength had already approached the realm of Supreme Will.

Now, with an additional boost, though he still falls short of reaching the Supreme Will level, he is even closer.

With His current power, amplified by the 'King' technique, he could effortlessly overpower a hundred near-Supreme Will-level warriors—like playing a game.

Then He turned his gaze to the second Law Technique—the Technique of a Hundred Laws and Star Hands.

The enhancement of this Technique remains unchanged, just as before—purely an increase in raw power!

The power has likewise multiplied tenfold!

Combined with the same tenfold amplification from the 'King' technique, Zhou Zhou now harbors the thought of facing off against a true Supreme Will-level master.

As for the third Law Technique—“Throughout the world, there is no land that is not the sovereign’s!”

Its domain strength has once again been amplified.

Now, it can weaken the domain effects of a Will Sovereign’s Will Domain by one-tenth.

As for domains below the Will Sovereign level, there is no need to speak of them—clear dominance!

Moreover, the Law Technique “Throughout the world, there is no land that is not the sovereign’s!”—when it was originally at the level of Second-Order Supreme Deity—could establish two hundred temporary or permanent exclusive territories at the scale of a myriad-worlds within a Law Domain.

Now, that number has risen to five hundred.

Lastly, the “Throughout the world, there is no land that is not the sovereign’s!” at the Second-Order Supreme Deity level could forcibly claim two hundred myriad-worlds as its own territory each day.

Now, that number has likewise increased to five hundred.

This enhancement unquestionably accelerates and improves the rate and efficiency with which His Sun God Realm expands its territories each day!

And upon the shores of the land, none are subjects but sovereigns—this is the law of the technique. Its effect is, after activating the domain, to consume half of one's supreme divine power and, in an instant, alter the thoughts and wills of all living beings within the domain, transforming them entirely into loyal subjects devoted to oneself.

Previously, during the second-tier supreme divine technique, one could only sway or subvert subjects at the second-tier supreme divine level and below.

Now, however, one can influence and convert subjects at the third-tier supreme divine level and below—those of the third tier and below.

Lastly, the fifth technique—Nine Five Supreme!

[Technique Name: Nine Five Supreme]

[Technique Tier: Third-Tier Supreme Divine]

[Technique Description: You stand atop the pinnacle of all sovereigns. You are the sovereign of sovereigns, the absolute ruler. When facing other sovereigns who are in opposition to you, all abilities they employ against you are weakened by 30%, and there is a 30% chance that they are completely nullified. Your subjects, when following you into battle, gain a 300% increase in combat power. When other sovereigns face you, they are struck by an innate sense of reverence, even submission; any opinion or thought you express carries a certain probability of being immediately accepted by them. Those who oppose you will feel genuine fear—only the most resolute in will can resist this dread.]

[You may embody the Supreme Dragon God, your physical form invincible, immortal and indestructible—unless all your soldiers have perished or your power gap with the enemy is so vast that it becomes utterly unbridgeable, in which case you will inevitably fall. When you manifest as the Supreme Dragon God upon the battlefield, you will randomly bestow upon your troops the Divine Blessing of the Supreme, enhancing every aspect of your soldiers' capabilities.]

Zhou Zhou read it through and nodded with satisfaction.

The effect of the Supreme's Law Technique has been doubled in strength.

The most obvious improvement is that this technique has doubled the combat effectiveness of His subjects once again!

Excellent, excellent!

His five Law Techniques have not let Him down once more.

Then He turned his gaze to the newly ascended, top-tier, exclusive Master Trait.

[Master Trait: The Boat of the Other Shore (Top Tier – Exclusive)]

[The Boat of the Other Shore: Your territory possesses a universal race artifact known as "The Boat of the Other Shore."

This vessel was born at the very moment the Law of Life emerged. Its purpose is to carry all beings across the multiverse into safety when the infinite realms face an apocalyptic crisis, transporting the souls of all worlds to a new shore of existence.]

[Specific Lord Talent Effect 1 - Grace of the Other Shore: The Lord who commands the Sacred Ark of the Other Shore, along with the subjects of his domain, shall be granted the grace of two boundless resurrections each day following their demise.]

[Specific Lord Talent Effect 2 - Indestructible Through Ten Thousand Tribulations: The Lord who commands the Sacred Ark of the Other Shore, along with the subjects of his domain, shall possess a single second of an 'immortal moment' each day, enduring through ten thousand tribulations; no disaster, not even the power of a supreme sovereign mind, can slay a soul while holding this state of absolute permanence.]

[Specific Lord Talent Effect 3 - Longevity and Vitality: The Lord who commands the Sacred Ark of the Other Shore, along with the subjects of his domain, shall have the very essence of their life vastly elevated; they will not only be blessed with robust health and immense strength, but their physical recovery, mental rejuvenation, reflexes, fertility, and lifespans shall all be dramatically heightened.]

[Specific Lord Talent Effect 4 - Voyage to the Other Shore: The Sacred Ark of the Other Shore can disregard any catastrophe and shall remain forever unbroken. Furthermore, those who dwell within the Sacred Ark can withstand all manner of calamities beneath the rank of the Supreme Gods, even amidst the ultimate doom.]

[Specific Lord Talent Effect 5 - Altar of Immortality: By expending a certain sum of Mist Hearts, Divine Crystals, Faith Divine Crystals, or any other currency of recognized value, any living being at or below the rank of the Supreme Gods can be brought back to life.]

Zhou Zhou finished reading, nodding with profound satisfaction.

As a Mythological-Tier Unique Lord Talent, the Life Ark's ascension into a Supreme-Tier Unique Lord Talent had truly not disappointed him.

Every facet of its talent effects had been magnificently amplified.

Most notably in the realm of resurrection.

The Grace of the Other Shore bestowed upon him and his loyal subjects two opportunities for boundless resurrection each day after death!

And the final effect—the Immortality Altar—could resurrect any being, from the highest deities down to those beneath them, simply by spending a certain number of Mist Hearts, God Crystals, Faith Crystals, or any other valuable universal currency.

From that moment on,

He no longer needed to seek the Will of Cycles to resurrect the Highest Gods.

Though the Will of Cycles was, in essence, one of his own, it still rested upon others—never as powerful as when it resided within himself.

Moreover, each of his innate abilities—Effect 2: Unbreakable Through a Thousand Trials, Effect 3: Extended Longevity, and Effect 4: Journey to the Other Shore—had its own distinct purpose. None of them were useless, nor did any overlap with the powers he already commanded.

Zhou Zhou felt deeply satisfied within.

Then he closed the Lord's Innate Ability interface, rose from his seat, and departed the Palace of the Cycle. He arrived at the residence of Mu Gu.

After sipping tea with Mu Gu for a while, he saw a streak of golden light emerge from the Crimson Nidus and descend to the ground, revealing the form of Wu Xin.

"Your Majesty," Wu Xin said respectfully, then produced three rings from his pocket and presented them to Zhou Zhou, saying, "These are the spoils I recently gathered from within the Crimson Nidus. Your Majesty, please take a look."

Zhou Zhou took it, inspected it thoroughly, and upon confirming there were no issues, handed the promotion certificate to Wu Xin, instructing him to go find the reserve recruits and promote them to Supreme Divine Weapon and Supreme Holy Divine Mage.

Meanwhile, Zhou Zhou himself departed from Wu Gu's manor, flew out of the Divine Realm, and arrived at the Gate of Summoning.

He then summoned a fleet of eternal battle cruiser, a vessel of Supreme God rank, and tossed all 200 million recruitment notices into the Gate of Summoning. After spending 100 Supreme God-tier divine crystals, he instantly recruited all of them and assigned them to this eternal battle cruiser.

Next, he spent another 100 Supreme God-tier divine crystals to summon 66.6 billion 66.66 million 6,000 pure-blooded dragon clans, placing them all on another eternal mother ship.

Then, Zhou Zhou spent yet another 100 Supreme God-tier divine crystals to summon today’s populace.

This time, a total of over 27.7 billion civilians were summoned—6.6 billion more than the usual recruitment quota.

Finally, he ordered his subordinates to assign the new soldiers and civilians to their respective duties, and then he alone journeyed to Yu Jing Mountain, spending 1,000 lower-tier divine crystals of the lower god rank, and summoned 100 jin of Heavenly Soldiers, Heavenly Generals, and Heavenly Sovereigns.

Thus,

all the troop types for today had been fully recruited and promoted.

At this very moment.
