Chapter 1631: Newly Advanced Supreme Will Realm Expert!
Chapter 1631: The Newly Ascended Supreme Will Realm Powerhouse!
Zhou Zhou closed the lord talent interface, rose from his seat, and left the Reincarnation Sacred Palace to arrive at Mu Gu’s residence.
At that moment, Mu Gu was sipping tea, and upon seeing Zhou Zhou’s arrival, he immediately bowed in respectful greeting; Zhou Zhou nodded, then sat down to share tea and conversation with him.
A short moment later.
A streak of golden flowing light shot out from the Scarlet Mother Nest and touched down upon the ground, revealing itself to be Wu Xin.
The moment he caught sight of Zhou Zhou, he instantly spoke with deep reverence:
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Zhou Zhou gave a nod of acknowledgment.
Without wasting any words on pleasantries, Wu Xin directly presented three world rings brimming with spoils of war to Zhou Zhou.
Zhou Zhou accepted them, sweeping his willpower inside to take a brief look, whereupon a brilliant smile emerged upon his face.
Though not the first time He had seen the recruitment notice of the 120 Jia version and the promotion certificate of the 120 Jia version, He still couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy.
Next, He did not waste a moment, immediately handing over the promotion certificate to Wu Xin, instructing him to go and recruit the reserve soldiers, transforming them into Supreme Divine Weapons and Supreme Holy Divine Beings.
And He himself departed from Wuguo’s mansion, flying out of the Divine Realm, arriving at the Summoning Gate.
As usual, He summoned a first-tier Supreme Divine-class cosmic warship, then tossed all the recruitment notices into the Summoning Gate, recruiting them all with 100 first-tier Supreme Divine Divine Crystals, placing them aboard the vessel.
Subsequently, Zhou Zhou spent another 100 first-tier Supreme Divine Divine Crystals to summon today’s populace.
This time, over 220 billion commoners were summoned—500 billion more than usual, including fifteen first-tier Supreme Divine Deities.
Then He journeyed alone to Yu Jing Mountain, spending 1,000 Jing lower-tier Deity crystals to summon 100 Jing Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, Celestial Sovereigns.
At that very moment—
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…
A total of 255,5619 columns of various law-based light beams erupted skyward from the direction of the Cycle Holy Palace!
Immediately.
And then, among the countless stars in the sky, a total of one hundred and thirty-one distinct celestial phenomena suddenly emerged—each utterly different from the others.
It was the celestial manifestation of the Primordial God ascending to the status of Supreme Deity!
Just as the divine beings across the myriad realms were about to be struck by shock,
BOOM!
BOOM!
Two beams of light, of contrasting hues, shot straight into the heavens.
Under the illumination of these two beams, the Sun Star and the Moon Star inexplicably withdrew their radiance, allowing these two beams to become the only two dominant sources of light in all the realms.
At this very moment,
every living being across the cosmos—regardless of whether they were blind or not—could "see" the presence of these two beams.
This also made them the only two lights in the supreme vast cosmos.
In that very moment, upon witnessing these two beams of light, they all silently grasped a profound understanding.
It was a phenomenon!
Not a common one!
But a phenomenon born from a being who had ascended from the realm of quasi-supreme will to the realm of lower supreme will!
At this instant,
the heavens and all realms trembled, from the highest beings who had transcended will to the most ordinary living creatures, all were stunned.
Especially those who understood the true significance of supreme will—those were filled with shock, yet ecstatic beyond measure.
"We have a new supreme will master emerging in our highest cosmos?! And two of them?!"
"Goodness, am I dreaming?"
"I also feel as though I'm dreaming. This is a Supreme Will Realm master—how could such a being appear in our highest cosmos? We haven't seen a Supreme Will Realm master in a very long time."
"At least ten billion years."
"Doesn't the Cycle Will count?"
"Cycle Will? Pah. He merely inherits the legacy of a Supreme Will Realm master—no more than a successor. With the emergence of the Cycle Will, our cosmos might as well have regained one such master, but it's still not the creation of a new one. It's just a revival."
"What astonishes me isn't the birth of a new Supreme Will Realm master, but that two such masters have appeared simultaneously. And you noticed, didn't you? The origin of these two newly awakened masters traces back to the Prairial Divine Capital. I have a terrifying suspicion—could it be that these two Supreme Will Realm masters were trained by the Celestial Sovereign Lord, the designated successor of the Supreme Lord?"
"Stop being ridiculous! How could a Supreme Will Realm master suffer such humiliation?! And you're saying they were trained by the Celestial Sovereign Lord? That man is still only a Supreme God at most. How could he possibly possess the capability or resources to train such beings? Before you speak, do you even have the intelligence to think?"
"Let's bet on it—bet that these two Supreme Will Realm masters were trained by the Celestial Sovereign Lord?"
"Alright, let's bet. Who's afraid of who? I won't lose, not in a million years!"
"Enough! I am the Imperial Vassal of the Sun God Court. Just moments ago, the Sun Sovereign Lord himself received confirmation from the Supreme Will—it's true, these two newly awakened Supreme Will Realm masters were indeed trained by the Celestial Sovereign Lord. There is no dispute. No one is to speak ill of the great Celestial Sovereign Lord."
"Oh! Really? Trained by the Celestial Sovereign Lord… the great Celestial Sovereign Lord?"
"Is that even possible? And you don't know, do you? The Celestial Sovereign, Master of the People, though currently a Supreme God, has already defeated a Supreme Will-Realm master. It was during his third-tier Supreme God stage that he achieved this feat. Simply by possessing such power, cultivating two Supreme Will-Realm masters? What a trivial achievement!"
The moment this news spread,
all gods across the myriad realms were left stunned.
Could the Celestial Sovereign, in his Supreme God form, have defeated a Supreme Will-Realm master?
Goodness.
If this were true, then the claim of cultivating two Supreme Will-Realm masters would indeed seem like a mere footnote.
The gods collectively sighed in awe.
They recalled the rise of the Celestial Sovereign, and suddenly found themselves wondering—what if some of the things these gods once spoke of were not mere fantasies, but realities?
This thought stirred in them a deeper sense of admiration and anticipation for the Sovereign's future.
No matter what.
From the events of this day, they all came to realize a singular truth.
That no matter how much they envied or resented the Emperor of Common People, this rising star's ascent had become utterly unstoppable to them.
Furthermore, they could now be absolutely certain.
The Emperor of Common People was in no way inferior to the Lord of Myriad Demons, the Law Master of Spring and Autumn, or even the God King of Heavenly Punishment.
For even beings of their exalted stature had never achieved the miraculous feat of creating fifty newly ascended Supreme Gods within a single day.
Such a momentous achievement was, to them, an incredible marvel that shattered the very foundation of their worldview.
Because a feat of this magnitude had eluded even the God King of Heavenly Punishment and the Law Master of Spring and Autumn.
After all, back when the God King of Heavenly Punishment and the Law Master of Spring and Autumn won their triumphs, they had only defeated lower-tier powerhouses of the Supreme Will Realm, and they themselves were already fourth-tier Supreme Gods or at the quasi-Supreme Will level.
Yet what of the Emperor of Common People?
He had managed to slay a high-tier powerhouse of the Supreme Will Realm while still merely a third-tier Supreme God.
A simple comparison reveals who is superior and who is inferior.
The gods were still discussing matters concerning the Celestial Emperor and the newly ascended Supreme Will-tier cultivator.
At this moment, Zhou Zhou smiled.
Now, as a Supreme God of the Fourth Rank and possessing the Will-tier consciousness, He was drawing ever closer to the goal of a Supreme Will-tier cultivator. He had already, naturally, acquired certain extraordinary abilities accessible only to those at the Supreme Will-tier.
For instance, He no longer needed to monitor the Universal Clan Lords' channels or the Universal Clan Warfare channels to know what thoughts the beings discussing Him were harboring in their hearts.
Even the Supreme Gods, standing so high above all, held no secrets from Him.
When He finally ascended to the rank of Supreme Will-tier cultivator, He would be able to simply think one thought and instantly know what every living being across the entire Supreme Cosmic Realm was thinking.
With only a slight concentration of his mind, He could even perceive other timelines, knowing what thoughts the beings in those alternate realities were harboring.
This is the true power of a Supreme Will-tier cultivator!
At this moment—
These newly ascended deities, the Supreme Gods, and the two beings who had reached the realm of Supreme Will had already arrived.
They gathered around Him, arranged according to their strength.
The two beings nearest to Him were the Supreme Will entities.
Though they originated from a distant cosmos within the realm of the Tianjun corpse, they still showed profound respect toward Zhou Zhou at this moment.
"Will of Fire, we bow before the Emperor!"
"Will of Breaking the Path, we bow before the Emperor!"
One of the two Supreme Will beings radiated an overwhelming, terrifying crimson flame that swirled around him, while the other held a divine spear, exuding a sharp, defiant aura—fierce and unyielding, as if challenging the heavens themselves.
Even now, both Supreme Will entities bowed before Zhou Zhou with utmost reverence.
Though Zhou Zhou was merely a Fourth-Rank Supreme God, neither dared to show the slightest arrogance.
They had witnessed firsthand how Zhou Shiyi and Zhou Shiyi could effortlessly dispatch higher-tier Supreme Will beings with a mere flick of their fingers.
And as the true primary entity, Zhou Zhou’s actual strength was bound to be far more terrifying.
They did not feel the slightest shred of pride in the presence of their own sovereign.
Zhou Zhou looked upon them and offered a faint, knowing smile.
"Congratulations on your ascension."
"From this moment forth, the two of you shall serve as the second and third enshrined guardians of Our Scorching Sun Divine Kingdom. As for the specifics of your compensation, rest assured it will more than satisfy you."
"Our deepest thanks to Your Majesty."
The two supreme-will realm powerhouses spoke, their voices trembling with profound emotion.
They knew all too well just how magnanimous their emperor could be.
Since he had decreed that the rewards would satisfy them, he would absolutely never allow them to be disappointed.
Involuntary anticipation began to swell within their hearts.
Amidst the crowd surrounding them.
Upon witnessing this scene, the Heavenly Blade's will felt a quiet pang of reflection.
Just yesterday, he had joined the Prajya Divine Realm, becoming its first and only Supreme Will-tier Devout.
Yet within a single day, the Prajya Divine Realm now boasted three Supreme Will-tier Devout—his singular status erased, replaced by a triumvirate.
The pace of this nation's ascension was nothing short of astonishing.
He searched through every memory within his mind, yet found no nation that had grown at such a speed—neither the Solar Divine Court nor the Lunar Divine Court.
At that very moment,
Zhou Zhou turned to the Heavenly Blade's will, beckoning him forward. Though puzzled, the Heavenly Blade obediently approached.
Seeing before him these three Supreme Will-tier beings, Zhou Zhou smiled gently and then produced three World Rings, offering them to them.
"Since you are the offerings of the Imperial Sun God Dominion, this is the customary greeting gift."
"You take it."
Zhou Zhou smiled and said so.
"Thank you, Majesty."
The Heavenly Blade Will did not find this surprising.
They had long known that the Emperor would bestow promotion rewards upon every new ascendant, especially upon newly elevated main gods and supreme deities.
Other levels also had such rewards, though not personally given by the Emperor, but distributed by the powerful beings of the Sun God Court.
What intrigued them now was one simple question:
What kind of greeting gift would the Emperor give to beings of their own Supreme Will realm?
Though they didn't care whether it was costly or valuable, they could not help but feel a quiet anticipation deep within.
After all, the magnanimity of Your Majesty is legendary across the myriad realms.
With eager anticipation, their willpower surged into the World Ring, and soon they saw the rewards within.
Their bodies trembled, eyes blazing with shock and ecstatic delight.
For within their World Ring lay an entire set of Will Immortals—sacred artifacts of will!
"Is this gift satisfactory?"
Zhou Zhou asked with a smile.
In past times, he certainly could not have offered such a set.
After all, his Heavenly Fate Emperor had not yet reached the realm of Supreme Will.
But following the battle against the Fearless King, the Fearless King’s treasury had greatly enriched Zhou’s own storehouse, bestowing upon him vast quantities of Will Immortals. It was only because of this that he could now present these eighteen Will Immortals as a gift to them.
Yet, it was not given freely.
"Cease your excitement for now—this is not a gift, merely a temporary loan from the Emperor."
Zhou Zhou spoke, "When you have accumulated sufficient military merit and fully exchanged for them, only then will you truly own them. Until then, you merely possess the right to use them."
"Thank you, Emperor."
The Tianling Will and others immediately bowed before Zhou Zhou, "Even the right to use it is deeply appreciated by us."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. We will diligently accumulate military merit and strive to fully acquire this complete set of Sacred Will Artifacts as soon as possible."
Even Tianling Will, the strongest among them in terms of discipline and composure, felt a surge of excitement within.
What was this? A Sacred Will Artifact! How rare, how precious!
Among all the Supreme Will Masters across the highest cosmos, there could be no more than a handful who possessed a complete set of Sacred Will Artifacts.
And now, these three newly ascended Supreme Will Masters—them—had such a complete set. If this were ever spoken of, surely others would envy it beyond measure.
Most importantly, with this complete set of Sacred Will Artifacts, though they were only newly elevated to the lower tier of Supreme Will Masters, their combat power would never fall short of that of true mid-tier Supreme Will Masters.
With such power, they would not only be able to protect themselves among the supreme will cultivators, but also serve the Emperor more effectively, earning military merit.
Zhou Zhou gave a slight nod.
That was precisely His intention.
May they strive to contribute more to the Sacred Will Artifact for the glory of the Yangyang Divine State.
Then He conversed briefly with the other newly ascended deities, bestowed upon each a complete set of divine artifacts tailored to their respective paths, and sent them on their way.
Afterward, He began to calculate the strength and influence of His subordinates.
