Chapter 1580: The Shock of Supreme Will! A Gift!

A mere handful of Supreme Artifacts, Master Artifacts, and Divine Crystals—nothing more.

Neither the main body nor the fragments regarded them as anything significant.

The resources bestowed upon the Wicked Demon Master were, in fact, far less than the daily war revenues of the Praised Sun Divine Nation.

Thus, Zhou Shiyu naturally didn't care.

Moreover, the Wicked Demon Master had grown close to him now—perhaps even becoming a future ally or subordinate. At this moment, bestowing upon him such resources would accelerate his strength and influence, benefiting both his present and future.

The two deities chatted idly, then instantly teleported, arriving swiftly at the location of the Supreme Will's fragment.

At that moment, the fragment of Supreme Will was within the sacred domain of the Original Ultimate Void Clan, observing the battle below between the Supreme Army and the vast forces of the Ultimate Void Clan.

Zhou Shiyo glanced curiously at this scene.

Then, a deep shock stirred within his heart.

The direct offshoot of the Supreme Will's legion—the Supreme Legion—indeed proved formidable, each unit capable of fully subduing the divine warriors of the Ultimate Void Race.

Ordinary deities could suppress Ultimate Void True Gods; True Gods could subdue Ultimate Void Primarchs—this was a common sight on the battlefield.

Even when Primarchs faced the Supreme Gods of the Ultimate Void Race, leveraging numerical superiority and tactical formations, they could still achieve suppression or outright annihilation.

Their individual combat prowess and combined operational capabilities utterly outclassed the elite Supreme-class units under Zhou Zhou’s command—the Supreme Gods and Supreme Divine Magi.

Moreover, their battle style was seasoned and decisive, clearly indicating each had endured countless wars.

"Are these units beyond the standard hierarchy? Or transcendent-class forces?"

Zhou Shiyu felt both curiosity and envy.

He had no idea how his own Supreme-class troops would ever advance into units beyond hierarchy.

He had received not a single word on this matter.

At times, even his essence would question whether there existed any training methodology within the Supreme Great Cosmos for such transcendent forces.

Because within the supreme will of His known forces, there exists no subordinate rank beneath the highest tier.

Yet, among the transcendent-tier forces, the Supreme Will, and the Master of Crimson, there do exist one such unit—namely, the Supreme Legion and the Crimson Legion.

To be frank,

At this very moment on the battlefield, the Supreme Legion, wielding a crushing advantage in sheer might, effortlessly suppressed and decimated the numerically superior armies of the Ultimate Void Race.

The divine forces of the Ultimate Void Race were visibly dwindling, their numbers shrinking at an alarming pace—clearly, they would not survive much longer.

As for the divine beings of the Supreme Legion, no significant casualties had yet been reported. Even if any fell, they would swiftly revive through their own means or via aid from other divine beings, re-entering combat and resuming their duties without delay.

Zhou Shiyu watched in awe.

Though He was well aware that the ability to resurrect one's own body and soldiers was not unique to Him across the multiverse,

the Supreme Legion was, indeed, the first such army force He had ever witnessed possessing such large-scale resurrection capabilities.

He found it entirely unsurprising.

A military force of this caliber—lacking the ability to resurrect would be astonishing.

"Have the honor to meet the Supreme Will!" *2

When he regained his senses, Zhou Shili and Wan Xie Mozhuzhu bowed respectfully.

The Supreme Will nodded, and as His gaze settled upon Zhou Shili, a smile flickered across His face.

"The original form of the Emperor of the People is being unduly cautious. The Ultimate Void Battlefield has been fully reclaimed by us. Yet you still send a proxy?"

Within the Hall of Cycles and Enlightenment,

Zhou Zhou chuckled softly as he rose from his seat of enlightenment, bowing with deference.

"Subordinate merely believes that caution is never without merit."

"Moreover, at present, the foremost thing I wish to accomplish is to elevate my cultivation to the level of the Supreme Will. Only then, whether within the two great universes or the Ultimate Void Great Universe, shall I truly possess the strength to protect myself."

"Also, having long accustomed myself to dispatching proxies for tasks, I have sent one this time."

Standing high above the sanctuary of the ultimate void battlefield, across an unfathomable distance, the Supreme Will smiled and nodded. "Very well, what you say holds true. The realm of the Supreme God is indeed quite low. Once you ascend to the realm of the Absolute Will at an early date, I too shall be able to assign you more vital tasks sooner."

"By your command, Lord Supreme Will."

Zhou Zhou gave a subtle nod.

The Supreme Will shifted the subject, adding, "As of now, the overall situation on the ultimate void battlefield has been decided. From this moment forth, your rank shall ascend by one position. Hereafter, you are the third reserve for the Supreme Lord."

"Lord of Myriad Demons, your rank shall be adjusted downward by one. Starting today, you shall be the fourth reserve for the Supreme Lord."

"However, Emperor of Common People, if you become indolent in the days to come, or if you fall behind the Lord of Myriad Demons, I will not need to act personally; the mere decline of your own destiny and fortune will automatically drop your rank back to the fourth reserve of the Supreme Lord."

"Lord of Myriad Demons, do not be disheartened either. So long as you constantly maintain a progressive heart and strive to surpass the Emperor of Common People, the position of the third reserve for the Supreme Lord will still be yours when the time comes."

"Yes, Lord Supreme Will," they answered in unison.

Zhou Zhou responded with deep respect.

The Lord of Myriad Demons likewise replied with utmost reverence, yet a bitter smile bloomed deep within his heart.

Exceed the Emperor of the Common Realm?

As a lord who had served alongside the Emperor of the Common Realm, He knew better than anyone how astonishingly rapid his progress had been.

When the Emperor of the Common Realm first arrived at the Ultimate Void Battlefield, His ranks contained not a single Supreme God. Now, just days later, His forces boasted over several hundred Supreme Gods, and His own power had surpassed that of the Wàn Xié Mā Zhǔ himself.

Such a pace of advancement—so swift, so overwhelming—left the Wàn Xié Mā Zhǔ utterly unable to dream of ever catching up.

To be able to form a connection with him and simply call him "Big Brother" was already more than he could hope for.

At the same time,

Immediately after the Supreme Will announced the change in the rankings of the two gods, both gods sensed their own transformations almost instantly.

Zhou Shíliu's experience was the most profound.

He could clearly feel his primordial fate surge by a factor of ten the moment the Supreme Will made its decision!

As if he had instantly become the divinely favored son of destiny!

From this point forward, a continuous stream of blessings, fortunate opportunities, powerful allies, and other favorable circumstances would descend upon him without end.

Should a common foe attempt to harm him, and if that foe lacked great fortune to shield them, he might never even reach him—instead, the overwhelming force of destiny itself would counterattack, triggering a cascade of misfortunes upon the enemy. It would be entirely possible that before any forces or powerful individuals even launched an assault against Zhou Zhou, the enemy would suffer catastrophic setbacks, possibly even perish from a series of unfortunate events.

Even if the enemy possessed great fortune of their own, yet if that fortune paled in comparison to his, they would still likely suffer a decisive defeat due to a myriad of unforeseen circumstances!

This is the utterly illogical nature of divine fortune protection!

A true example of achieving victory without battle!

Zhou Shiyu was immensely satisfied with the growth of his fortune.

No waste of effort—his original form and its offshoots had tirelessly resolved the ultimate void battlefield, and now, at last, the fruits of their labor were being reaped.

At this moment, the Supreme Will gazed upon Zhou Shiyu, and with a smile, said:

"You have borne the overwhelming responsibility in resolving the ultimate void battlefield, and now, as you have been appointed to the Third Reserve of the Supreme Lordship, I hereby decide to bestow upon you certain rewards."

"But with your current status, even if it were treasures from the Supreme Will Realm, you'd probably barely consider them, right?"

"How could that be?!"

Zhou Shiyu quickly replied: "Although I possess a few artifacts from the Supreme Will Realm, that doesn't mean I lack such things altogether."

"If the Supreme Will Master rewards me with artifacts from the Supreme Will Realm, I would be thoroughly satisfied."

"Supreme Will Master, I shall step away now."

Wan Xie Mo Zhu, seeing this, wisely prepared to leave.

After the Supreme Will had agreed, Wan Xie Mo Zhu gave Zhou Shiyu a series of suggestive glances before departing.

"You've got a real knack for it—offering the other a hundred thousand Supreme Divine Artifacts and vast quantities of Master Artifacts as if they were free, combined with past goodwill, now Wan Xie Mo Zhu truly treats you like a brother."

The Supreme Will muttered in astonishment.

"To have such a close relationship with Wan Xie Mo Zhu, Master, I am already content."

"As for those mere master relics, supreme relics, and divine crystals—"

"They are nothing but trinkets. If He likes them, giving them to Him is no issue at all."

Zhou Shixi laughed.

"I also quite like them."

The Supreme Will blinked its eyes.

Zhou Shixi froze.

Such a demeanor from the Supreme Will—he had never seen it before.

Apparently, the Supreme Will wasn't as distant as he had imagined.

Perhaps this was simply the benefit of his own rising status and power.

Zhou Shixi didn't dwell on it further, and instead reached into his prepared supplies, pulling out a world ring, and offered it solemnly to the Supreme Will.

"The gift from the Supreme Will, my lord, has been prepared long before."

Zhou Shixi spoke.

"Oh?"

The Supreme Will's eyes flickered with subtle interest. Receiving the world ring, He began to inspect its contents.

Then, His expression visibly stiffened.

For within this world ring, there lay precisely one hundred million primary divine artifacts and one million supreme divine artifacts!

The combined value of these relics was utterly staggering.

Even the Supreme Will himself was deeply astonished.

Though He could, by virtue of His own will essence, create from nothing primary divine artifacts, supreme divine artifacts, or even will-saint relics,

will essence was consumed with every use—diminishing with each act—and such depletion could weaken His own power, reducing His strength. To restore the lost will essence would require consuming vast quantities of high-grade nourishment.

Such high-grade supplements could only be obtained in the Ultimate Void Great Cosmos, and they were exorbitantly expensive—even the Supreme Will itself would not lightly purchase or utilize them.

Thus, to avoid depleting the fundamental essence of its will and risking a decline in power, It rarely forged divine artifacts.

This resulted in a scarcity of supreme artifacts within the Supreme Great Cosmos.

Many Supreme Deities even carried their primary divine artifact as their main combat gear.

Fortunately, thanks to the previous gift from Zhou Zhou—where he bestowed upon the Supreme Will a vast quantity of supreme artifacts—the scarcity of supreme artifacts in the Supreme Great Cosmos has now been greatly alleviated. Nearly every Supreme Deity now possesses at least one, and some even have complete sets.

The overall strength of elite combatants throughout the Supreme Great Cosmos has surged several fold—directly attributable to the 150,000 supreme artifacts bestowed upon the Supreme Will by Zhou Zhou.

Even the Supreme Deities within the Crimson Great Cosmos gained tens of thousands of supreme artifacts through the trade between the Supreme Will and the Crimson Sovereign, significantly boosting their collective strength.

As a result, the Supreme Will, deeply satisfied with Zhou Zhou—the Supreme Commander-in-Training—found itself particularly pleased.

Among its four Supreme Commanders-in-Training, it was precisely the return from Changsheng Emperor Sovereign that came earliest and brought the greatest surprise.

That genuine, tangible figure of 150,000 supreme artifacts—there was no pretense.

Who could have imagined.

Not long after, the Celestial Sovereign had already pulled out so many supreme relics, and so many master relics!

One hundred million master relics, and one million supreme relics!

Even within the Ultimate Void Great Cosmos, such wealth would send the Supreme Will Beings into frenzy and stir the hearts of Will-Transcendent Masters.

For though these master relics and supreme relics held little value for beings at the level of Supreme Will or Will-Transcendence, they could vastly strengthen the forces under their command, amplifying their subordinates' power exponentially.

The strength of a faction mattered just as much to the greatest of beings.

"This gift... I truly appreciate it."

"While the Supreme Great Cosmos currently possesses ample supreme relics,"

"with this batch, I can venture into the Ultimate Void Great Cosmos and trade them for what I truly need."

The Supreme Will smiled.

Zhou Shizhi nodded thoughtfully.

The one billion primary artifacts and one million supreme artifacts he had just dispatched—he did not feel any pang of loss.

After all, as long as war raged on, he could gather them in just two or three days. To him, these artifacts were not particularly precious.

If they could secure the Supreme Will’s greater attention and regard, then it would have been well worth it.

What he was pondering was exactly what the Supreme Will had said.

"Then, with the artifacts and divine crystals at my disposal, I could send out my duplicates and ensure they thrive within the Ultimate Void Cosmos, thereby securing the resources I need."

"If all goes well, I could very well become a 'wealthy man' within the Ultimate Void Cosmos."

"Then, with a single shopping spree, I might not even need to gather Ultimate Void Crystals or Chaotic Divine Treasures myself—I could simply buy them."

Zhou Shizhi's eyes grew brighter with each thought.

Another excellent method of acquiring the resources he needed—what a revelation!

"You've once again bestowed upon me such a collection of divine artifacts—this leaves me with no suitable reward for you."

"Even artifacts from the Supreme Will Realm pale in comparison to these divine relics."

The Supreme Will chuckled at this.

"This is merely my humble gesture, Supreme Will Lord. You need not overthink it—no matter what reward you give me, I will cherish it deeply."

Zhou Shiyu quickly said.

With so many bloodline inheritances coursing through his mind, it was naturally effortless for him to utter elegant words.

The Supreme Will smiled slightly, then, after a moment's thought, extended his right hand and said:

"I believe you'll find this reward particularly delightful."

A golden orb slowly materialized in the palm of his hand.

"What is this?"

Zhou Shizhi curiously asked.

He could feel that the thing within this sphere of light seemed profoundly significant to him.

This intuition was overwhelming!

"The next method of cultivation for the Supreme Holy Body."

"It can enable you to transcend the Supreme Holy Body into the realm of Supreme Will, and continue refining yourself until reaching the upper echelon of Supreme Will."

The Supreme Will spoke.
