Chapter 1602: Reward!

Chapter 1602: A Reward!

At the same time,

Zhou Wu had brought Tanatos, Nasario, and ten thousand supreme deities of the main gods to the Chaos Sea, where he met the Chaos God-Monsters of time and space.

This time, they brought a total of eight hundred and twelve Chaos God-Monsters.

Zhou Wu was naturally very satisfied.

These Time-Chaos God-Monsters—how their numbers had grown ever greater.

They had not let him down at all.

Thus, if so,

he would now generously reward them.

But he did not immediately bestow the reward. Instead, as customary, he first granted them three thousand two hundred and forty-eight main divine artifacts, and only then, with a single palm strike, extinguished the eight hundred and twelve Chaos God-Monsters.

Then He turned His gaze toward the Time-Space Chaotic Deities and Demons.

"Time-Space, Void, Wind Ancestor, Ghost Shadow,"

Zhou Wu said. "You've done well these past days, though your realms have grown too weak."

The Time-Space Chaotic Deities and Demons froze in surprise, then suddenly remembered something. Their faces turned as pale as death, and they immediately knelt, trembling with fear and urgency. "Lord, please do not abandon us! We have already sensed the bottleneck of ascending to Supreme Deity status. If granted just one or two hundred years more, we will surely reach Supreme Deity rank and serve the Emperor faithfully and loyally!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wu couldn't help but smile.

One or two hundred years?

I haven't even lived that long.

I'm waiting for hell to freeze over.

Still, honestly speaking, one or two hundred years—though incredibly brief for a Supreme Deity—was indeed an eternity for himself. A vast, endless stretch of time.

"You have forgotten, how long have I only recently risen?" Zhou Wu spoke calmly. "Can I wait that long?"

Only then did the Time-Space Chaos Deities realize the age of their sovereign.

A profound sense of loss and sorrow welled up within them.

Could it be that, just as they had begun to enjoy a peaceful life, they would be cast aside by their own emperor?

Though their days had been arduous—constantly traveling, reaching out to every chaos deity in the divine realm willing to trade—they had found joy in the work beyond the fatigue.

Beyond the exhaustion, the tasks had brought them immense pleasure.

Flattery from peers, countless divine crystals, infinite master artifacts, vast networks of connections—

All these advantages had soared their status, influence, and power.

And with their deep faith in Zhou Zhou’s Saint-Spirit followers,

They had truly relished this position more than ever.

Yet this position seemed destined to be abandoned by them, due to their insufficient strength.

They felt deeply reluctant, yet utterly helpless.

For the Master God's power truly appeared to be out of proportion with their own imperial status.

After all, they had witnessed the surge of ascension phenomena across the countless realms these days.

And today was no exception!

The emergence of twenty new Supreme Gods alone left them utterly astonished.

Their own sovereign, capable of producing Supreme Gods in bulk—how could it be otherwise that he looked down upon them, these mere Primordial Gods?

With that thought, they fell silent, their words suspended in the air.

"What are you all thinking about?"

Zhou Wu shook his head and simply tossed four vials of elixir toward them. "These are the elixirs for ascending to Supreme God status—called 'Xin Ji Elixir.'"

"They can elevate your will to the level of Will-Transcendent Deity."

"Your cultivation has already reached the upper limit of Master Deity status. By further transcending your will to the Will-Transcendent level, you will naturally ascend to the rank of Supreme Deity."

"There is no need for you to return to the God-Monster Realm today."

"Take the Xinji Dan and enter the Cycle Holy Palace within the Divine Capital for meditation. By tomorrow, you will be promoted to the first rank of Supreme Deity."

"But even first-rank Supreme Deity is not enough."

"Tomorrow, upon your return, you must swiftly locate twenty Chaos God-Monsters at the upper limit of Master Deity status."

"I will bestow the same Xinji Dan upon each of them, elevating them to the first rank of Supreme Deity as well."

"Thereafter, they will answer to you."

"From that point on, you will be able to move freely throughout the God-Monster Realm with the combined strength of twenty first-rank Supreme Deities, gathering even more Chaos Divine Treasures for Me."

After speaking these words, Zhou Zhan silently observed their reactions.

And there, amidst the chaos of time and space, the divine beings of chaos and magic first suspected they had heard wrong—momentarily stunned, unable to react.

When their minds finally caught up, their faces lit up with uncontainable joy.

Their joy was not merely at the prospect of ascending to the rank of Supreme God!

Their true joy stemmed from the fact that their sovereign had not abandoned them!

"Thank you, Sovereign!"

"But Sovereign, this Heart of Extremity is exceedingly precious..."

"We..."

The beings of time and chaos immediately prostrated themselves in gratitude, yet hesitated, gazing uncertainly at the Heart of Extremity held in Zhou Wu's hand.

This was the supreme elixir capable of elevating a Supreme God to the status of Supreme Being!

How many Supreme Gods existed across the highest cosmos of all?

And these four elixirs could forge four newly ascended Supreme Deities—naturally, they understood the immense value of such divine medicine!

"Take what is given. Don't hesitate or delay."

Zhou Wu frowned.

The Xinji Elixir was merely a medicine of Supreme Deity rank.

With the unique talent of Supreme Rank—The Sole Lord—Zhou Wu possessed not only this elixir but also numerous items with similar functions. Thus, he had no qualms about bestowing such medicinal rewards upon them.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, the Deities of Time and Space Chaos no longer dared to speak further, bowing respectfully at once.

Seeing this, Zhou Wu finally gave a slight nod.

Though now, with the presence of the Tianjun Corpse Body site, his efficiency in acquiring Chaos Divine Treasures had greatly increased,

compared to the Tianjun Corpse Body site, the output of Chaos Divine Treasures from both the Deities and Demons Realm and from the Temporal Ruins was still quite meager.

But a mosquito's leg is still meat.

Zhou Wu would by no means disdain it.

And with His aid, once the Chaos Deities and Demons of the temporal-spatial chaos returned, He could bring even more Chaos Deities and Demons to Himself—thus acquiring even greater treasures of Chaos.

The original Zhou Zhou sensed something.

The Supreme Will seemed deliberately guiding Him to foster more Sovereign Kingdoms, even among the Supreme Cosmos or the Crimson Cosmos—eventually even the Kingdoms of the Supreme Deities.

Otherwise, the requirements for His ascension realm could not contain so many demands currently beyond human capability.

Since the Supreme Will intended for Him to undertake this, He would simply carry it out.

After all, the Supreme Will would never fail to reward Him.

Later, Zhou Wu did not linger. After extracting the spoils, He amassed a total of 3,248 units of Chaos Divine Treasures.

Then, with the Temporal-Spatial Chaos Deities and Demons at His side, He journeyed once more to the Time Ruin of Chaos Death, and acquired another 170 units of Chaos Divine Treasures.

Thus.

The number of Chaos Divine Treasures in his hands had reached 26,461 units of Chaos Divine Treasures.

Zhou Wu looked at these Chaos Divine Treasures, a faint sense of regret stirring within him.

The Chaos Divine Treasures were more than sufficient, yet they still fell far short of the requirements to conquer ten primary divine realms.

Nevertheless...

It should be accomplished within the next couple of days.

Then, his true form could finally upgrade his territory!
