Chapter 1645: Peerless Expert Beneath the Supreme Continent!

Chapter 1645: The Supreme Master Among the Realm Beneath the Highest Continent!

Ah, so it makes sense.

Zhou Zhou suddenly understood.

That's why his Unparalleled Rank—Unique Sovereign—talent could yield rewards of will transcending level.

It was, in fact, a subtle compensation from the Supreme Will.

Indeed.

If the Supreme Will had merely granted him a Sovereign Talent of Supreme Fate, he would have had no need for their assistance at all.

For he already possessed a vast number of Sovereign Talent Crystal Fragments and Sovereign Talent Spheres.

He could simply absorb them all and, on his own, elevate his Supreme Saint Body from the fourth rank to the level of Supreme Will.

Once he achieved a Supreme Will-level Supreme Saint Body, he would be able to ascend to any Sovereign Talent of Supreme Will level—no matter how rare—just as easily as he could attain Supreme Fate.

Just as before, when one divine, singular lord's gift was unlocked each day.

If He chose to elevate the Supreme Holy Body to the level of Supreme Will, He could just as easily unlock one divine, singular lord's gift of a tier above each day.

And thus, the Supreme Will—aware of this very possibility—deliberately endowed His Supreme Fate Lord's Gift with a touch of transcendence beyond the ordinary tier of lordly gifts.

As Bodhi Master explained, the probability of obtaining relics or artifacts that transcend the level of Will is exceedingly low.

Yet, the sheer volume of such items cannot be ignored!

In these past few days, His avatars have slain countless Supreme Gods and masters of Supreme Will.

The spoils of war from these foes—being of Supreme God level—must number in the tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions.

According to the surface description of Supreme Fate, it would be entirely normal to produce thousands or even tens of thousands of relics that transcend the level of Will.

Yet, as Bodhi Master pointed out, while His spoils may boast a 100% quality boost, or a +2 quality at a mere 0.01% chance—this applies only to spoils from beings at or below the level of Supreme Will.

When it comes to relics that transcend the level of Will, the probability of such a drop becomes vanishingly small.

Because of that.

His duplicates led an army today, fighting and battling through countless trials, and only thus did they secure one lower-tier transcendent holy artifact—the Delusion of the Holy Eye—and 121 divine-grade materials, divine-grade ingredients, divine-grade minerals, divine-grade blueprints, and other treasures of the will-transcendent level.

Though this was somewhat lamentable.

Yet after a moment of reflection, Zhou Zhou dismissed it.

To obtain rewards of the will-transcendent level ahead of schedule was already enough for him.

The quantity was merely smaller—how could he not accept that?

"Then, when I eventually elevate my Supreme Fate to the level of a Transcendent-Class Sole Master Talent, will the chances of my loot gaining a '+1' or '+2' enhancement become normal?"

Zhou Zhou asked.

"Of course."

"Then, at that time, your divine-class loot will have a one in ten thousand chance of becoming transcendent-class loot, and your will-saint artifact loot will be guaranteed to transmute into transcendent artifacts."

"But the upper limit is merely the prize of will transcending level."

"Wanting to go beyond that?"

"The highest will beings themselves cannot achieve it."

Bodhi, in quiet reflection, spoke.

Zhou Zhou nodded.

Of course.

Beyond that lies the prize of eternal immortality.

Even the highest will today is only at the level of supreme will transcending.

How could such beings possibly create a prize of eternal immortality?

Then, when...

It seems I'll have to rely on myself to elevate the Supreme Divine Body to an eternal, unbreakable state, then forge a master talent of eternal immortality, thus obtaining a prize of eternal immortality.

Yet by that time, even He himself would be a being of peak strength within the vast cosmos—wouldn't he truly need such things?

Even if he did, the utility of them might be negligible.

After all, immortals of the Eternal Immortal Realm have already reached the pinnacle of power; their needs beyond strength would likely approach nothingness.

He shook his head, dismissing the thought.

That realm still lay far beyond his reach as the Supreme God. To dwell on such things would be futile.

Then He glanced at the number of Chaos Divine Treasures in his possession.

Through a series of conquests, gains, and expenditures, Zhou Zhou observed that the total count of Chaos Divine Treasures in his hands had now reached 100,000 units!

Zhou Zhou nodded slightly.

This quantity already exceeds the total required for a second-tier Supreme God realm by a factor of two.

He did not rejoice, but instead turned his gaze toward Zhou Shiyu's situation in Huangtian's Great Cosmos.

Today, Zhou Shiyu's Sacred Day God Kingdom had conquered ten primary god realms and four intermediate god realms.

Then He glanced at the situation on the Supreme Continent.

Under Zhou Zheng's arrangements, the Jiaoyang God Kingdom had established five primary god realms on the Supreme Continent today and brought them under its control.

Finally, Zhou Zhou turned his eyes to Zhou Shizhi's situation.

Today, Zhou Shizhi led the Mimi God Kingdom and, within the Crimson Great Cosmos, had invested substantial resources to help his subordinate advanced god realm-level Crimson Lord factions establish three primary god realms.

Zhou Zhou pondered thoughtfully.

Currently, the Jiaoyang God Kingdom needed to conquer ten intermediate god realms in order to elevate its territory to a second-tier Supreme God Realm.

To advance the Jiaoyang God Kingdom to a first-tier Supreme Realm, it would require conquering thirty primary god realms across both the Supreme Great Cosmos and the Crimson Great Cosmos.

At present, He had already conquered four intermediate god realms, and had accepted eight primary god realms within both the Supreme and Crimson Great Cosmos.

The gap still seems vast.

Yet the gap has noticeably narrowed.

Zhou Zhou felt satisfied within.

Having a duplicate to assist him with tasks was infinitely convenient.

If he had to do everything himself, he would have spent countless hours and energies to reach this level, and his cultivation would surely have been compromised.

Not like now—nothing had been delayed.

Then he turned his gaze to the final battle report in the war summary.

It was a report compiled by Zhou Wu. The report stated that, under the relentless, all-encompassing conquest of the Sunny Divine Nation, the entire Supreme Continent had now fully submitted to the Sunny Divine Nation.

In other words,

the Supreme Continent was now effectively a private domain of Zhou Zhou, the Third Reserve Lord of the Supreme Sovereign.

But.

Just a little short of completing it—the Supreme Continent could only officially become Zhou Zhou’s private domain if one final obstacle was overcome.

That crucial step was:

To eliminate one of the enemies of the Wandering Race imprisoned at the very foundation of the Supreme Continent!

Who exactly this enemy is, Zhou Zhou does not yet know.

Zhou Wu knows this because, after today’s campaign—leading the entire army of the Sunny God Realm to conquer the last high-ranking god realm faction on the Supreme Continent—there emerged, in the depths of his mind, a subtle, insistent message: only by subduing or eliminating the Wandering Race’s powerful being imprisoned beneath the Supreme Continent could one truly claim dominion over it.

This being of the Wandering Race, though bound by the Supreme Will, still possesses a power surpassing that of any lower-tier will.

After reading Zhou Wu’s report, Zhou Zhou furrowed his brow slightly.

So, in the end, conquering the Supreme Continent still required facing a final guardian boss.

He had thought that once he had brought all the lordly factions across the Supreme Continent under his command, the continent would be fully his.

"Subordinate willpower surpassing the level of mastery."

"It's going to be tough."

Zhou Zhou murmured to himself.

His current strength was merely at the peak of the Supreme Willpower realm.

Far from capable of standing against foes of Willpower Transcendence level.

Even if the enemy were a deluded race whose will had been crushed by the Supreme Will for unknown durations.

Supreme Willpower versus Willpower Transcendence.

Though only a single tier apart,

the gap in combat power between them could be described with words like utterly different.

Anyone capable of countering a Willpower Transcendence force with merely Supreme Willpower strength would be considered a true prodigy.

Moreover, it must be at the level of a middle or even a high Supreme Will realm to inversely slay a powerhouse of the Will Transcendence realm.

Take, for instance, the Law Master of Spring and Autumn, or the Divine King of Heavenly Punishment.

As for a Supreme God inversely slaying a powerhouse of the Will Transcendence realm?

To even suggest such a thing would only invite ridicule.

Anyone capable of asking this sort of question merely proves they possess absolutely no common sense regarding the cultivation world.

The Supreme God and the Will Transcendence powerhouse—one represents the pinnacle of the deity system, while the other stands as the apex of the will system.

The division between them is not merely a gap of two great realms, but rather the yawning chasm between two entirely different systems of cultivation.

This is a disparity that no cultivator, from the ancient past to the present, or even into the endless epochs of the distant future, could ever hope to cross.

Throughout the entirety of the Ultimate Void Grand Universe, there may well have been peerless geniuses born, like the Divine King of Heavenly Punishment or the Law Master of Spring and Autumn, who could leap across realms to defeat those of the Will Transcendence level.

But to wish, in the body of a Supreme God, to cross two great realms and two entirely separate systems to defeat a powerhouse of the Will Transcendence tier?

The Ultimate Void Cosmic Universe has never witnessed such a thing!

Even the supreme, eternally unbroken masters at the pinnacle of their power have never achieved this.

If any being truly managed to, as a being of Supreme Deity, transcend two realms and defeat a Master of Will Transcendence, then that being would be the first prodigy the Ultimate Void Cosmic Universe—nay, even the Delusional Grand World—has ever seen!

A prodigy beyond any comparison, unattainable by any other.

Even future generations would have to face this record with utter despair.

For how could it ever be surpassed?

Such a prodigy would stand as the absolute peak of genius in the history of the Ultimate Void Cosmic Universe—unrivalled, unchallenged, forever beyond reach.

"Once I ascend to a true Master of Supreme Will, I'll send Zhou Wu to challenge this sealed Master of the Delusional Clan."

A thousand thoughts flashed through Zhou Zhou's mind, and in the end, he made this decision.

Since the Supreme Deity cannot achieve it, he would attempt it only after ascending to the next tier of Supreme Will Master.

He believed that, even though he was merely a superior cultivator at the level of the Unconquered Will, he could still stand against the imprisoned will of that delusional race, a being transcendent beyond comprehension.

Zhou Zhou shut down the war summary, and instead of immediately returning to the Palace of Cyclic Rebirth to continue his cultivation, he merely thought, and vanished from his place.

The next instant.

He had already appeared beyond the realm of the gods—within the Supreme Domain.

Zhou Zhou gazed at the Supreme Domain before him, then upward at the endless downpour of laws falling from the sky, reaching out to touch them.

One by one, the drops of law fell into his hands, transforming into insights, seeping into his very being.

Zhou Zhou smiled, shaking his head slightly.

Once upon a time,

when he first encountered this downpour of law, he had been utterly astonished, yearning to spend every day cultivating within the Supreme Domain.

But how little time had passed—now, when he faced the same rain of laws again, the waves of emotion within him had settled into the most profound stillness.

This downpour of laws, to him, had become no different from ordinary fruits and vegetables in everyday life.

Eating it was useless; discarding it was a pity.

He stood on the threshold of the path of will, the route of laws nearing completion. These fragments of law, imbued with crude and chaotic understandings, held no value for him anymore.

At that moment—

A powerful presence emerged from afar, swiftly closing the distance.

As it passed by Zhou Zhou, it paused, startled, then immediately turned, coming to stand before him.

Zhou Zhou looked at the visitor.

A master of supreme will, judging by the aura—likely a lower-tier supreme willmaster.

He wore a crimson divine robe, his head crowned with thick, wild red hair, radiating a fierce, unruly fire energy throughout his being.

Yet what startled Zhou Zhou was the stillness in the other’s eyes.

There, within those gaze, was a calm, gentle stillness—like still water.

His gaze and the aura surrounding him formed a stark contrast, yet strangely harmonious—as if born together, inseparable.

Zhou Zhou's mind flashed with the image of this being.

A lower-tier Supreme Will Realm master—The Flame God's Will!

This master first forged his path through the Way of Fire, and later, through the will of "The Universal Flame Emperor," ascended to the lower tier of Supreme Will Realm.

He is known for his broad circle of friends; though his temper can be fiercely volatile at times, he reveals a unique tenderness toward those he truly respects.

Among the over fifty Supreme Will Realm masters in the highest cosmic realm, he stands out as one most suited for friendship.

Zhou Zhou's own Flame Heart Will is also a Supreme Will Realm master who evolved through the Way of Fire.

In terms of raw strength, they are on equal footing.

Though the Flame God's Will has held the rank of Supreme Will Realm for many years, while the Flame Heart Will is merely a newly ascended, one-day-old novice in the lower tier, the Flame Heart Will possesses a complete set of Will Immortal Artifacts. In contrast, the Flame God's Will, as Zhou Zhou knows, carries not a single Will Immortal Artifact—only a set of near-Supreme Will Immortal Tools.

Though these near-Supreme Will Immortal Tools may seem impressive, they are vastly inferior to true Will Immortal Artifacts.

Thanks to the blessing of the Sacred Will Artifact, even though Fireheart's Will had only just ascended to the Supreme Will Realm for a single day, it could now stand on equal footing with Fire God's Will.

If they truly engaged in a life-or-death struggle and were allowed to freely deploy the full array of their Sacred Will Artifacts, Fireheart's Will would be capable of defeating a mid-level Supreme Will Realm master, and could guarantee its own survival even against a higher-level Supreme Will Realm master. As for Fire God's Will—well, that would be an effortless victory.

This is a comparison based on strength. Yet when it comes to potential, Fireheart's Will still holds a distinct advantage.

Fireheart's Will clearly possesses a greater potential than Fire God's Will. From Zhouzhou's observation, Fire God's Will has a very difficult path ahead—rising to even a mid-level Supreme Will Realm master is a rare achievement, let alone reaching the upper tier.

In contrast, although Fireheart's Will is a newly ascended force, its will potential reaches the level of an upper-tier Supreme Will Realm master. It is highly plausible that Fireheart will one day achieve that lofty rank.

As for why Zhouzhou could perceive such immense potential in Fireheart's Will—naturally, it was because Zhouzhou had bestowed upon him a lineage of inheritance from an upper-tier Supreme Will Realm master...
