Chapter 1623: The Current Status of the Major Avatars!

Zhou Zhou sent the Tianling consciousness into the Yellow Springs Realm, while He himself returned first to the Cycle Sanctum within the Divine Realm world.

There, He sat in meditation upon the enlightenment cushion, his eyes serious, his expression focused. He inhaled deeply, then murmured softly, "Break!"

The moment the words left His lips—

All sixteen avatars dispersed across the Supreme Continent, the myriad realms of the heavens, the Yellow Springs Realm, the Tianjun Lands, the Huangtian Great Cosmos, and even throughout the ultimate void cosmos, simultaneously whispered the single word: "Break."

And in the next instant—

Their consciousness levels shattered their limits, all rising simultaneously to the next tier—lower forms of Supreme Consciousness Realm.

"Success."

Zhou Zhou nodded with satisfaction.

Now, thanks to this synchronized breakthrough, He possessed sixteen avatars across all realms and domains, each wielding the power of a Supreme Upper Consciousness Realm.

With such power, as long as one avoids provoking a cultivator beyond the realm of transcendent will, one could go anywhere in the world.

"Create another copy."

After a moment's thought, Zhou Zhou activated the technique once more, expending half of his original essence to forge his seventeenth duplicate.

"Presenting myself to the original body," the copy said respectfully.

"From today on, your name shall be Zhou Seventeen."

Zhou Zhou looked at his reflection across the space, a satisfied smile playing upon his face.

"Very well."

Although Zhou Seventeen found the name rather casual, he said nothing. He was not one to care much about such trivialities.

"Master, what is it you summoned me for?"

He asked directly.

"Or do you understand me?"

Zhou Zhou smiled slightly, then spoke with solemnity. "I'll provide you with a batch of resources. You must swiftly establish initial or higher-tier Primordial God realms within both the Supreme Cosmic Domain and the Crimson Cosmic Domain."

"Understood."

Zhou Shiqi nodded, then turned sharply and departed without hesitation.

As a fragment of Zhou Zhou's being, he naturally knew that all of the original's resources were stored within their First Treasury. Thus, he didn't need to inquire where the resources were located—when the time came, he would simply draw from the First Treasury.

Watching Zhou Shiqi's retreating silhouette, Zhou Zhou's face softened into a faint smile.

Having these fragments assisting me in my tasks truly saves me immense time.

Otherwise, if I had to do everything myself, my current state of divine and willful cultivation would surely be far below where I am now.

Perhaps at this very moment, I still hadn't even reached the level of Supreme God.

Moreover.

Thinking of what Zhou Shizi intended to do, He involuntarily pinched the bridge of his nose.

Now, regarding resources needed for upgrading His domain, He had no worries at all—thanks to the Yellow Heaven Grand Cosmos, which housed countless Master God Kingdoms, and even Sovereign God Kingdoms. No matter what level He wished to elevate His domain to, the Yellow Heaven Grand Cosmos could fully satisfy His demands.

Yet the upgrade of God Kingdoms was entirely different.

It required "Master God Kingdoms under the Sovereign Will and Master God Kingdoms under the Crimson Sovereign."

Thus,

in order to elevate the rank of His God Kingdom, He would have to begin with Master God Kingdoms from the Sovereign Grand Cosmos and the Crimson Grand Cosmos.

When His God Kingdom reached the level of Sovereign Kingdom, He would even need to search within the Sovereign Grand Cosmos and the Crimson Grand Cosmos for Sovereign Kingdoms themselves.

And at present, both the Sovereign Grand Cosmos and the Crimson Grand Cosmos lacked sufficient Master God Kingdoms and Sovereign Kingdoms.

So.

For the eventual ascension of His divine realm, He must begin now, preparing for the future—namely, the cultivation of the primary divine realms and the supreme realms within the two cosmoses.

Thinking this through,

Zhou Zhou couldn't help but mutter under his breath.

"This is too fast for self-improvement—no good at all."

"The surrounding conditions and infrastructure can't keep up."

He himself felt helpless.

Yet what could he do?

Only to strive and cultivate on his own.

And so He resumed his practice.

Now, His level of will had reached the Supreme Will Realm. His next path of cultivation was to steadily elevate His divine state, swiftly approaching the peak of the Supreme God, then master His first Will Technique, thereby achieving a true transcendence into the Supreme Will Realm.

He now felt himself drawing closer to the peak of the fourth-tier Supreme Deity, and thus must strive even harder.

...

The Chaos Sea.

At this moment, Zhou Wu had brought Tanatos, Nasario, and ten thousand Supreme Deities—mainly of the Master Deity rank—to the Chaos Sea.

Today, the Temporal-Chaos Deities and Demons brought a total of eight hundred and thirty-two Chaos Deities and Demons.

Zhou Wu bestowed upon them three thousand three hundred and twenty-eight Master Divine Artifacts, then with a single palm, annihilated the eight hundred and thirty-two Chaos Deities and Demons, obtaining three thousand three hundred and sixty-four units of Chaos Divine Treasures.

Then he turned his gaze to these four Chaos Deities and Demons, producing three copies of the "Divine Sovereign" from the fourth-tier Supreme Deity, and handing them to the other three.

"Serve me faithfully. When you each reach the bottleneck of the fourth-tier Supreme Deity, I shall assess your merits and bestow upon you the inheritance of the Supreme Will Realm."

Zhou Wu spoke quietly.

The three Supreme Deity-level beings—Fengzhu, Kong, and Guiying—were instantly stirred with excitement upon seeing these three copies of the "Divine Sovereign" from the fourth-tier Supreme Deity and hearing Zhou Wu’s promise to them.

They would naturally not doubt the words of this Emperor of All Life.

After all, they had just learned today of the fifty Supreme Deities born from his presence.

To produce so many Supreme Deities every day, and to possess the lineage of ascending to the Realm of Supreme Will—there was nothing strange about it at all.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Subordinates shall strive with all our might to serve Your Majesty, and never fall short of Your expectations!"

The Four Deities spoke with deep reverence and fervor.

Zhou Wu nodded, and then led his troops away.

Later, they visited once more the temporal ruin of Chaos' Death, and obtained another 170 units of Chaotic Divine Treasures.

Adding this to the 24,804 units they already possessed,

the total number of Chaotic Divine Treasures now in their possession reached 28,338 units.

Zhou Wu felt satisfied within.

This was not the end.

What came next—the Heavenly Jun lands, the enigmatic merchant guild, the Yellow Sky Great Universe, and indeed the entire Ultimate Void Great Universe—would all provide vast quantities of Chaotic Divine Treasures for the True Body.

With so many sources available, the True Body would no longer suffer from the difficulty of gathering Chaotic Divine Treasures.

The real challenge lay in swiftly cultivating primary divine realms and supreme realms within the Highest Great Universe and the Crimson Great Universe.

Yet He held no concern.

"There must be sufficient resources."

"Rapidly establishing several primary divine realms within a short span is not beyond reach."

"And the True Body already possesses ample resources."

Thus thought Zhou Wu.

...

The Crimson Cosmos.

Zhou Shiqi had already arrived here by now.

He first met with the Succubus Divine Lord, Zhou Shiwu, and after a brief exchange, he passed Zhou Zhou's words along to him.

"Perfect timing,"

Zhou Shiwu said with a smile. "The Succubus Divine Kingdom is in the midst of rapid development. Now that you're here to help, I can focus entirely on expanding it, striving to elevate the Succubus Divine Kingdom into a Tier 1 Supreme Kingdom, or perhaps even higher."

"When the time comes, and the Scorching Sun Divine Kingdom needs a Supreme Kingdom to upgrade its divine realm rank, I will directly offer up the Succubus Divine Kingdom as a tribute."

Zhou Shiqi nodded slightly.

"Hold on a moment,"

Zhou Shiwu said suddenly. He then transmitted a packet of information to Zhou Shiqi and continued, "These are the Scarlet Lord factions within the Crimson Cosmos that possess the highest probability of ascending into Beginner True God Kingdoms."

"Take a look for yourself."

Zhou Shiqi nodded as he examined the records with meticulous care.

Within the Crimson Great Universe, he discovered roughly twelve lord factions possessing the greatest potential to ascend into lower-tier True God kingdoms in short order.

Among them, ten were native high-tier divine kingdoms, while the remaining two were upstart Crimson Lord forces that had surged from behind.

Without much hesitation, Zhou Shiqi immediately selected those two late-coming Crimson Lord factions.

This was because these two forces were already under the administration of Zhou Shiwu, serving as subordinate divine kingdoms to the current Succubus Divine Kingdom.

Zhou Shiqi could hand the resources directly into their possession, allowing them to rapidly advance into lower-tier True God kingdoms, which would immediately satisfy the advancement requirements for the Scorching Sun Divine Kingdom to elevate itself into a high-tier True God kingdom.

It was unlike the other ten factions.

For those, Zhou Shiqi would still have to devise methods and pretexts to deliver the resources into their hands, coaxing them into ascending to lower-tier True God kingdoms.

It was simply too much trouble.

For one another, Zhou Shiyu merely needed to issue the command directly.

Upon seeing Zhou Shizi point to the advanced divine realms, Zhou Shiyu immediately understood His intent.

"Rest assured,"

"I will swiftly subdue the remaining ten native divine realms and elevate them—under your guidance—to become junior Supreme Deity realms or higher."

Zhou Shiyu said.

Zhou Shizi nodded.

Then He said nothing further, and turned abruptly to depart.

...

The place where Tian Jun's corpse lay.

Zhou Shiyu and Zhou Shizheng were leading a vast host of Supreme Deities, walking through Tian Jun's blood orifices, searching for the treasures within—and most importantly, the Primordial Divine Artifact.

Occasionally, when encountering a Supreme God or a Master of Near-Transcendent Will, He would intervene and subdue them.

Their ranks grew visibly stronger.

At this point, Zhou Shi-11 and Zhou Shi-12 had amassed combat power rivaling that of the very apex of Transcendent Will Masters. After careful deliberation, they decided to advance deeper into the heart of Tianjun's corpse realm.

They moved with astonishing speed, reaching the deepest part of Tianjun's corpse realm within less than three or four hours.

Halfway through their journey, Zhou Shi-11 suddenly spoke coldly:

"Who?"

The moment the words left his lips,

He launched a single palm strike.

Third-tier Supreme God Technique – The Palm of Ten Thousand Laws and Stars!

The strike plunged directly into a thick, deep purple mist.

Then, from within the thick fog, a low, somber voice echoed.

"Hmph."

"A Three-Rank Supreme God Technique—how dare you wield it with power rivaling that of a Near-Paragon of Will?"

"Indeed, a prodigy."

"Alas, even a prodigy should not have ventured to the deepest reaches of Tianjun's corpse site without possessing the strength of a Supreme Will."

"You all stay here."

"Especially you two."

"My hands are currently lacking two guards. You two are precisely the kind of candidates to become my personal puppet generals."

And with that, from the deep purple haze, a full squad of twenty deep purple puppets emerged.

These puppets appeared to be of the same design, their entire bodies covered in deep purple secret runes, radiating a terrifying power that surged around them.

Zhou Shi-1 and Zhou Shi-12 narrowed their eyes slightly.

A quiet surprise stirred within them.

For these twenty puppets, each one clearly possessed the strength of the Precise Supreme Will Realm.

"A Supreme Will Realm master who follows the path of puppets," Zhou Shi-12 murmured. "Indeed, rare."

Zhou Shi-12 was utterly relaxed, even finding time to chat casually with Zhou Shi-1.

Zhou Shi-1 nodded slightly.

Seeing that these two were so carefree, the entity shrouded in deep purple mist first hesitated in confusion, then erupted into fury.

Three Supreme Gods at most—how brazenly arrogant! To treat a Supreme Will Realm master like nothing at all? To disregard Him entirely?

Damn it!

"Hehehehe."

"You have successfully made me change my mind."

"I have suddenly had a change of heart."

"I shall cast you into my Gourd of Ten Thousand Gu, to endure the agonizing torment of a myriad of parasites devouring your very soul, leaving you submerged in endless misery for all eternity!"

The entity's voice rasped, dark and brimming with fury.

Behind Zhou Shiyi and Zhou Shier, the experts of the quasi-supreme will realm and the supreme gods were already trembling with terror.

Yet, the two protagonists, Zhou Shiyi and Zhou Shier, showed not a single trace of tension; they merely exchanged a glance, a smile blooming on their faces.

"A mere lower supreme will realm entity, lurking and concealing yourself like a thief, actually dares to spout such grandiose nonsense before us."

Zhou Shiyi stepped forward, looking upon the twenty quasi-supreme will realm puppets rushing toward him with a faint smile, a sudden flash of brilliant golden light erupting from his eyes.

Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom...

These twenty quasi-Supreme Will constructs had not even reached Zhou Eleven before they all lost control and tumbled to the ground.

Zhou Twelve raised a hand, and instantly the twenty constructs shrank, floating into his palm like miniature toys.

"Good."

"Twenty quasi-Supreme Will constructs—extremely useful even for the host."

Zhou Twelve nodded slightly, erased the imprints from their surfaces, and then placed them directly into the First Treasury.

A silence fell over the air.

Zhou Eleven and the Supreme Will and Ultimate God figures behind Zhou Twelve were all stunned.

And from within the deep purple mist, the Supreme Will entity remained silent for a moment before suddenly chuckling softly: "So it was an Ultimate God whose will had already advanced to the Supreme Will level."

"Then it's no wonder they were so confident."

"Yet... 'tis merely a pseudo-Supreme Will realm. Does it truly grant you the audacity to face me, a genuine Supreme Will, with such boldness?"

The powerhouse of the Supreme Will realm spoke, his voice laced with cold disdain.

"Too many words!"

Zhou Shiyi could not be bothered to waste breath on him.

With a mere shift of his intent, a full set of Lower Will Sacred Artifacts and the Divine Xuanyuan Sword materialized in his right hand.

Then, with another thought, he directly unleashed 'King'.

Within the main body's territory, the Heavenly Blade Will, a true High God, had already emerged.

Thus, the moment he invoked 'King', his realm instantly shattered the boundaries of a third-tier High God, surging into the Lower Supreme Will realm.

There was not a single moment of stagnation!

Without a second thought, he ignored the sudden gasps of horror echoing from the dense fog and charged fiercely into the mist, plunging straight into battle with his foe.

Not a moment later,

he saw Zhou Shiqi dragging a corpse shrouded in thick mist, stepping out from the fading pale purple fog, and walking toward Zhou Shiji.
