Chapter 1594: The Hidden Secrets of the Supreme Will Realm!

Boom... boom... boom...

The dim yellow aura enveloping the entire arena dissipated. On the platform, the only beings still alive were Zhou Zhan, Tian Yang Wuzhu, and their twenty Supreme Gods beneath their command.

As for the twenty Crimson Supreme Gods under the command of Wuxiang, they had all been annihilated before the battle even concluded—by the combined forces of the Supreme Gods from Zhou Zhan's and Tian Yang Wuzhu's armies.

And as soon as they emerged, they saw the remaining Supreme Gods of the Wuxiang Clan fleeing toward the outside of the platform.

Clearly, they had witnessed their master's demise and realized that if they did not escape now, they would never escape at all.

But Zhou Zhan and Tian Yang Wuzhu would by no means allow these remnants of the Wuxiang Clan to flee.

Zhou Zhan stepped forward and struck directly!

One palm down—

The Wàn Fǎ Xīng Chén Palm burst forth with an atmosphere of thunderous and earth-shattering force, directly targeting the highest gods of the remaining Void Race.

During its flight, the Wàn Fǎ Xīng Chén Palm fragmented into hundreds of smaller versions, each one striking a different highest god of the Void Race.

In an instant—

The remaining highest gods of the Void Race fell one by one beneath the crushing might of Zhou Zhan’s single palm.

Tianyang Wuzhu witnessed this scene and felt, more profoundly than ever, the sheer power behind Zhou Zhan’s seemingly casual strike.

Without conscious effort, a thought surged into his mind.

Supreme Will Realm!

The once-contemptible, now somewhat respected fourth reserve supreme lord—now possessed actual Supreme Will Realm strength!

Even a lower-tier Supreme Will Realm power was utterly terrifying.

Across the entire Supreme Cosmic Expanse, the total number of Supreme Will Realm beings—both openly acknowledged and secretly lurking—amounted to no more than fifty.

Not the Supreme Will Realm, yet those who possess the strength of the Supreme Will Realm for various reasons, total only two hundred and more.

That is to say—

The present Celestial Emperor Sovereign, Fourth Reserve of the Supreme Overlord, now in terms of combat power, has already secured a place among the top three hundred beings in the entire Supreme Cosmic Universe!

He has officially ascended to the rank of the universe's elite powerhouses!

Most terrifying of all—

This Celestial Emperor Sovereign is merely a Third Rank Supreme God!

A Third Rank Supreme God possessing the strength of a lower-tier Supreme Will Realm!

That is utterly beyond belief!

Even the most exceptional prodigies of the Supreme Cosmic Universe—Tiancheng God King and Chunqiu Law Master—these great gods of the realm, in their own tier, do not match the terrifying might of this Celestial Emperor Sovereign!

Could it be that the supreme cosmos has welcomed a prodigy of terrifying power surpassing even the Heavenly Punishment God King and the Spring-Autumn Law Master?

A thought surged into Tian Yang Wu Zhu's mind—one he himself could scarcely believe.

After all, those were the Heavenly Punishment God King and the Spring-Autumn Law Master!

Before them, not only was He insignificant, but even his ancient father, the Sun Emperor Supreme, and his peer, the Moon Emperor Supreme, had to bow with due respect.

To Him, they were mere children—small, insignificant sparks in the vast cosmic fire.

Yet now, gazing at the might of the Celestial People Emperor, He felt that this Celestial People Emperor's potential surpassed even those two.

That very thought sent a shiver through Him.

He dared not dwell on it further.

At that moment,

the voice of the Yellow Springs Will finally echoed.

"Imperial Sovereign of the Common People."

His voice was majestic and distant, yet carried a faint softness and a touch of serene contentment.

"The disciple is present."

Zhou Zhan spoke respectfully.

"You have defeated Wusang. You are worthy to receive my inheritance and legacy."

"Are you ready?"

Zhou Zhan nodded. "The disciple is ready."

The Will of Yellow Springs nodded, then turned his gaze to Tianyang Wuzhu, who was still lost in thought.

"Tianyang Wuzhu."

"During your battle against Wusang, your performance was quite commendable. Among the descendants of the Solar Sovereign, you rank among the upper-middle tier in both combat prowess and potential."

"These three treasures—the Blue Yang Jade, the Xuan Yuan Pill, and the Ten-Thousand-Light Protective Blossom—are yours."

And then,

three treasures shot forth from the brow of Huangquan's will, soaring through the air until they came to rest before Tianyang Wuzhu.

"Thank you, Master Huangquan of Will!"

Tianyang Wuzhu exclaimed in astonishment.

He had originally expected this journey to yield nothing at all.

Even after witnessing the might of Wushang, he had feared for his life—believing that this expedition might end in his demise.

Instead, he found himself rewarded with several treasures.

And yet, the formidable Wushang, who had so much power, received nothing at all—while he, Tianyang Wuzhu, had perished here in the end.

Only then did he lift his gaze, and gently take the three relics into his hands.

When His willpower touched upon these three relics, a fraction more of a smile appeared upon His face.

For He suddenly realized that all three of them were indeed relics of the lower-tier Supreme Will Realm—precisely the kind of Supreme Will Realm artifacts!

Though they were merely materials, not Will Immortals' sacred instruments, they were still exceedingly valuable.

Even as the direct descendant of the Sun Emperor, and before he had ascended to the Supreme Will Realm tier, He had only a few such relics in his possession.

"Since you've received your reward, you may now withdraw."

The Yellow Springs Will spoke.

"Yes."

Tianyang Wuzhu also knew that he was not suitable to remain on the scene at this moment, and hurriedly bowed respectfully, "The young disciple shall now retire."

Upon saying that,

He suddenly sent a whisper to Zhou Zhan.

"Your Grace, the Emperor of the People."

"Once Your Grace has received the inheritance and the will of the Yellow Springs, would you have time to speak with me?"

"Having witnessed Your Grace's magnificent display in defeating a powerful member of the Illusory Clan, I, Tianyang Wuzhu, hold deep admiration. I also wish to offer you a gift."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhan could only stare in silence.

Didn't this royal prince, before the struggle for the inheritance, carry himself with an air of arrogant pride?

Now, the transformation had been so smooth and seamless.

Promising!

Zhou Zhan silently praised himself, and at the same time agreed to the request.

A gift offered—no reason to refuse.

Moreover, he had business to discuss with this prince, making it a perfect opportunity to speak of it all at once.

Tianyang Wuzhu, upon hearing Zhou Zhan agree to his request, immediately brightened with joy.

He no longer wasted time, and swiftly stepped out of the realm of inheritance of the Yellow Springs Will.

Thus.

This realm of inheritance of the Yellow Springs Will now remained only with Zhou Zhan and the willful shadow of the Yellow Springs Will.

"Imperial Master of the People,"

the willful shadow of the Yellow Springs Will smiled gently, "to be more precise, Third Reserve of the Supreme Lord— we've known each other for a long time, wouldn't you say?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhan's brow arched slightly.

He cautiously asked, "Lord, how do you come to such a conclusion?"

"Shouldn't it be our first meeting?"

"Oh? Is this truly our first encounter?"

The Yellow Springs Will chuckled lightly, "You and I have already met more than once within the Time Remnant, haven't we?"

"How could the Lord of the Crown possibly know about the Time Remnant?"

Zhou Zhan was stunned.

He had never expected that the Yellow Springs Will would know such a thing—about the Time Remnant.

Upon hearing this, the Yellow Springs Will nodded and continued:

"You are not of the Supreme Will Realm, and thus you do not comprehend the profound mysteries of this state."

"Beings at this level have completely transcended the limits of deities, reaching an inconceivable realm."

"Entities such as myself in the Supreme Will Realm can, through sheer will, initially interfere with other timelines—indeed, absorb the 'selves' existing within those timelines, binding them into our own being, thereby elevating our own power."

"Due to this ability, all beings of the Supreme Will Realm possess the fundamental skill of divination and foresight."

"The Yellow Springs Will operating within the Time Remnant you currently manage—I once perceived it in the most distant ages. However, because the original source was so far removed, absorbing it offered me little benefit. Thus, after gathering a few fragments of information, I ceased further pursuit."

"It's surprising, after all, that we've finally reached a day when it's mentioned again."

The Yellow Springs Will sighed with reflection.

Zhou Zhan, upon hearing this, could only marvel in astonishment.

Though now He possessed inheritances from the Supreme Will Realm, the Will Transcendence Realm, even the fragmented Eternal Immortality Body of the Highest Saint, He understood the principle of moderation—never to go beyond the edge. Thus, up to this point, He had withheld most of the hidden secrets concerning the Supreme Will Realm and the Will Transcendence Realm.

All He currently knew were the cultivation methods of the Highest God Realm and the specific pathways to transcend the Supreme Will Realm threshold.

Beyond that, He had only a few fragments of knowledge—scant and limited.

Therefore, when the Will Shadow of the Yellow Springs Will spoke of these things, Zhou Zhan found them utterly novel.

At the same time, His heart surged with profound shock.

It seemed that the Supreme Will Realm could already begin to subtly manipulate timelines, even absorb versions of Himself from other timelines, gathering them into His own being to elevate His own realm of power.

This is truly unimaginable.

In other timelines, wouldn't that be akin to the concept of parallel universes?

To achieve such capabilities—how astonishing!

Yet, in truth, when spacetime principles are refined to the deepest levels of mastery, similar feats can be accomplished.

Still, such beings can only summon projections of themselves from other timelines to join their own timeline and fight on their behalf, or gain glimpses into certain future events. However, these predictions are generally imprecise.

After all, the future holds infinite possibilities—something that occurs in one timeline might never happen in another, with no trace of it at all.

This is precisely why predictions often fail.

Beyond that, celestial beings mastering spacetime laws are utterly incapable of performing any further actions.

They cannot even compare to the supreme will beings who forcibly intervene in other timelines or absorb "themselves" from those timelines to bolster their own strength.

Zhou Zhan, thinking this through, asked with growing curiosity:

"Forgive me for being impertinent, but if the noble has already gained the ability to subtly interfere with time lines, shouldn't he be able to preemptively resolve his own crisis and ensure that the Lord of the Crown lives on forever?"

"The Brother of the Soul Sky has been longing for you ever since."

"And when I arrived, I encountered the Earth Spirit. He too has been missing the Lord of the Yellow Springs deeply."

Upon hearing this, the Will of the Yellow Springs shook his head. "It is precisely because we have witnessed countless timelines involving ourselves that we have come to see the infinite possibilities that lie ahead."

"These possibilities are our futures. What then, should I choose?"

"Like the fall of my timeline, I have seen countless billion variations across other timelines. I have also seen countless others where I remained unharmed, surviving to this very day. What should I believe—what should I trust?"

Zhou Zhan fell silent.

So it was like that.

Now that I consider it more closely—

Though the supreme will beings could perceive endless timelines belonging to themselves, the sheer number of choices and possibilities made it no different from ordinary mortals. In the end, it was hardly any better than being blind.

"Believe in yourself," Zhou Zhan said.

Upon hearing this, the Yellow Spring Will smiled faintly, then sighed with a touch of melancholy. "Yes, only by believing in oneself can one survive."

And then, the man and his supreme will fell silent.

For the Yellow Spring Will had already perished—because it had believed in itself.

To this, Zhou Zhan could only remark: This Yellow Spring Will truly had terrible luck.

To change the subject, Zhou Zhan asked, "The Will Beyond Transcendence can initially interfere with timelines, absorb other versions of itself from different timelines. What about the Will of Transcendence?"

"The Will of Transcendence—say it's hard, and yet it's not; say it's easy, and yet it's not."

"As long as the Supreme Will state absorbs all versions of itself from across timelines, reducing the self within this timeline to a single, unified entity, one may ascend to the Will of Transcendence."

"But this step—though it may seem simple—proves perilous in every way."

The Yellow Springs Will seemed no rush to hand over the inheritance and legacy to Zhou Zhan, instead choosing simply to impart to him the fundamental knowledge of realms he had come to know.

"External threats are obvious enough—but the real danger lies within oneself."

"More precisely, it comes from other versions of myself across different timelines."

"Other versions of myself across different timelines?"

Zhou Zhan was startled by this.

"Yes," said the Yellow Springs Will, nodding slightly.

"When you first enter the Supreme Will Realm and begin absorbing other versions of yourself from different timelines to strengthen your own power, those other versions of yourself—bound by fate—will come here to this timeline to confront you."

"It's not so bad when you're still in the mid-levels or below."

"These foreign versions of myself that come to fight you are generally quite weak; you can easily deal with them."

"But when you ascend to the Supreme Supreme Will Realm or absorb more than half of your own timelines, the remaining timelines of yourself will be granted immense power by fate. With this power bolstering them, these alternate selves can match or even surpass you in strength. When such beings collide, the outcome—victory or defeat, life or death—may no longer be certain."

As Yellow Springs Will spoke, his expression was solemn and grave.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhan's brows furrowed tightly.

Was cultivation in the Supreme Will Realm truly so different?

Did one have to kill themselves to achieve advancement?

"Then, before your passing, Master, what was your state?"

Zhou Zhan no longer hesitated, turning his question instead.

"In the practice of the Supreme Will Realm, lower and middle levels are relatively easier. So I spent several hundred thousand years—just to make a breakthrough and ascend to the Supreme Supreme Will Realm."

Yellow Springs Will said.

Several hundred thousand years?

Zhou Zhan's lips twitched several times.

Since the day he began his cultivation, the total duration had not exceeded a year.

Seeing Zhou Zhan's interest in this fundamental knowledge of cultivation, Huangquan's Will shared with him more details. Observing that Zhou Zhan, despite his brief cultivation period, had already reached the peak of the Third Rank Immortal, Huangquan deduced that he could already tap into the full combat power of a Supreme Will Immortal. With the aid of the Supreme Will, Huangquan believed it was certain that Zhou Zhan would eventually ascend to the Supreme Will Realm. Thus, he felt no hesitation in revealing these teachings, knowing they would not hinder Zhou Zhan's future ascension.

Zhou Zhan listened with quiet delight.

After a long silence,

Huangquan's Will finally ceased speaking.

"Enough for now."

"If you ever have further questions, you may directly explore the inheritance I've given you, or go directly to the Time Ruins and ask the former me."

"He should not refuse you."

"Now."

"It shall be mine to bestow upon you my inheritance and legacy."

The will of Huangquan spoke.
