Chapter 1650: Commission! Supreme God Arrives!
Chapter 1650: Commission! The Supreme God Arrives!
"It seems the Sun Emperor and the Moon Emperor have sent quite a number of Supreme Gods to your service."
The Heavenly Punishment God smiled and spoke.
"Yes, quite a number."
"Exactly one thousand Supreme Gods."
Zhou Zhou sighed with admiration.
These one thousand Supreme Gods were all assembled specifically to prepare for ascending to the realm of Supreme Will. Thus, none of them would be weak in strength—each at the very least a Second-Class Supreme God, possibly even a Third-Class Supreme God.
After all, First-Class and Second-Class Supreme Gods didn't need to consider ascension to the Supreme Will realm too early.
"Brother, you're truly amazing."
"Simply by employing such a method, you've managed to attract so many Supreme Gods to your side."
The Supreme Demon Lord sighed with genuine sentiment.
At this moment, he felt more than ever that following his elder brother had been the right choice.
Zhou Zhou smiled silently, saying nothing.
In this matter, he was truly professional.
No need for humility.
The Heavenly Punishment God and the Spring-Autumn Law Master exchanged a glance, then after a moment of quiet contemplation, the Heavenly Punishment God spoke first: "Third brother, I've been thinking the same thing."
"I already have one hundred Four-Rank Supreme Gods and subordinates at the level of near-omnipotent will, who have begun preparing for the breakthrough into the Omnipotent Will state."
"I intend to send them to serve you, and in doing so, seek the opportunity to ascend to the Omnipotent Will state myself."
"Would Third Brother consent?"
"Brother, your words sound rather distant."
Hearing these words, Zhou Zhou smiled faintly. "Just tell me when they will arrive. I cannot guarantee anything else, but I can promise that among the hundred fourth-tier High Gods and quasi-Supreme Will realm experts you send over, at least one Supreme Will realm powerhouse will be born before they return to your Twilight Battlefield."
How could he possibly refuse a band of high-level enforcers delivered straight to his doorstep for free?
As for aiding them, what seemed like an incredibly arduous task in the eyes of the God-King of Heavenly Punishment was no different to him than rearing any other flock. Tending to a regular army was one thing, and tending to a cohort of High Gods was much the same; since he lacked for no resources anyway, the distinction was negligible.
He might as well raise them all.
"I shall have to trouble you then, third brother!"
The God-King of Heavenly Punishment’s eyes lit up, and he spoke without delay. "Once you ascend to the Supreme Will realm, third brother, I can gift you a set of cultivation techniques. With these methods, I guarantee that you can advance rapidly, even within the confines of the Supreme Will realm itself."
"You are too kind, too kind," Zhou Zhou replied with feigned nonchalance, though his heart leapt with immense delight.
What a splendid elder brother, always dropping such precious treasures!
A cultivation technique capable of swiftly raising one's strength within the Supreme Will realm was something he had never even heard of before.
Are most of them not just waiting for time to pass?
Indeed, his elder brother has his own secret weapon when it comes to enhancing power—no wonder he's so young yet already a master of the Supreme Will Realm.
"Then I'll send you one hundred historical prodigies, third brother. You'll have to take care of training them well for me."
Seeing his elder brother take the initiative, the Spring and Autumn Master quickly added.
"Historical prodigies?"
Zhou Zhou asked curiously. "Those historical prodigies don't come from the Eternal Continent and the Long River of Time? What's the point of training them? Their power isn't already permanently fixed at the moment of their downfall?"
"Having ruled the Eternal Continent for many years, I naturally possess the means to summon historical prodigies from the Eternal Continent and the Long River of Time, and permanently bind them as my subordinates."
"As for further enhancing their power—well, for me, that's merely a minor matter."
The Spring and Autumn Master chuckled.
Zhou Zhou nodded in understanding.
Each has their own way, so He didn't press further.
"Fine, bring it to me."
Zhou Zhou agreed without hesitation.
"Good brother."
Chunqiu, the Master of Law, smiled, his eyes crinkling with mirth, "Later, I'll send you a set of top-tier Will Immortal Artifact fishing gear. This set is no ordinary thing—though it's merely at the upper tier of Will Immortal Artifacts, even relics of transcendent will have a significant chance of being caught with it."
"I'll also give you a pass."
"With this pass, you may freely enter and exit my Universal Chaos Pool during its public opening hours, regardless of where you are or what time it is."
"Thank you, elder brother."
Zhou Zhou smiled gratefully upon hearing this.
"Ha ha, brothers are brothers—helping each other is what we're all about."
Spring and Autumn Law Master smiled.
Then Zhou Zhou turned to Wan Xie Magic Master, "Wan Xie, do you have any Supreme Deities among your followers willing to train with me for a while?"
"There are five, though I don't have gifts like my elder and second brother."
Wan Xie Magic Master blushed awkwardly.
"Brothers, what's the point of talking about such things?"
Zhou Zhou shook his head. "How about this—since you'll be joining me to train within the Palace of Cyclic Rebirth anyway, why not bring your own Supreme Deities along with you?"
"Would that be acceptable?"
Wan Xie Magic Master was deeply stirred, yet still hesitated.
He subconsciously glanced at the Heavenly Punishment Deity Kings and their retinue.
"What are you looking at?"
Heavenly Punishment God shook his head, "That's your own third brother. Listen to what he says, and I am your elder brother—shouldn't I be glad to see you both grow stronger together?"
"Brother, you're right."
Chunqiu Law Master nodded with a cheerful smile.
"Then thank you, third brother!"
Ultimately, the Universal Demon Master could not help but agree.
The temptation of elevating himself and his highest gods to the realm of Supreme Will was simply too great. The Universal Demon Master could not possibly refuse.
Zhou Zhou observed the Heavenly Punishment God and Chunqiu Law Master's attitude toward the Universal Demon Master, and felt a deep sense of admiration within himself.
He could clearly see that both Heavenly Punishment God and Chunqiu Law Master genuinely cared for the Universal Demon Master and himself.
Though they were rivals, they seemed utterly indifferent—truly treating themselves and the Universal Demon Master as true brothers.
Simply looking at this grandeur, Zhou Zhou could only hold his head in awe.
Of course.
He himself was no different.
Though he deeply valued the combat prowess of the Supreme Demon Lord and his elite deities beneath him, there was also a desire to care for this younger brother.
Perhaps this was precisely why the Supreme Will had chosen them as candidates for the rank of Supreme Lord.
Not only did they possess extraordinary potential, but they also carried similar qualities within them.
Then the three of them departed without further delay. After leaving behind their contact information with Zhou Zhou, they each took their separate paths.
The Supreme Demon Lord followed Zhou Zhou back to the Prairial Divine Capital.
Once returned to the Prairial Divine Capital, Zhou Zhou assigned him to train within the Palace of Cyclic Rebirth.
With all the innate lordly talents and bonuses upon his body, he believed the Supreme Demon Lord would soon sense the advantages of training here.
Just as he was preparing to continue his cultivation within the Palace of Cyclic Rebirth, someone suddenly arrived to inform him that beyond the borders of the Prairial Divine State, a group of Supreme Deities had suddenly appeared.
The number of Supreme Deities had reached an astonishing 1,000, leaving the attendant utterly astonished, yet not in fear.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhou immediately knew that it was the Supreme Deities of the Solar and Lunar Divine Courts who had come.
After sending the attendant away, he merely thought for a moment and vanished from the spot.
……
Beyond the borders of the Prajaya Divine Realm.
In the sky.
A gathering of Supreme Deities had assembled here.
Each wore garments clearly marked with the insignia of either the Solar or Lunar Divine Court. Some of the Supreme Deities recognized one another, and were now engaged in lively conversation.
"Neither the Imperial Sovereign of the Sun nor the Imperial Sovereign of the Moon could explain why they had to come to this Prajaya Divine Realm, to obey the commands of the Commoner Sovereign."
A Four-Rank Supreme Deity spoke with visible displeasure.
He hails from the Hall of the Sun God, a divine enforcer of the Department of Punishment, tasked solely with punishing those who have filled the cosmos with iniquity.
Originally, he was mid-survey of the myriad realms, calmly traversing the vast expanse of existence—until suddenly, a summons from the Sun Emperor arrived. In the next breath, he stood here.
"Word has it that the Sun Emperor and the Moon Emperor have summoned us. It's said that the Emperor of Life has cultivated a mysterious technique enabling a Supreme God to transcend into the Realm of Supreme Will. Thus, they have specifically sent us here to serve under the Emperor of Life, to observe and perhaps even glean from his secret methods—so that we may stand a better chance of ascending into the Realm of Supreme Will ourselves."
This four-tier Supreme God, named "Hao Yue," is a female Supreme God of the fourth rank. She speaks with eager curiosity.
"A mere Supreme God, fortunate enough to catch the attention of the Supreme Will, and by sheer coincidence, has accidentally nurtured two beings already in the Realm of Supreme Will—does it not seem absurd to believe that such a technique could help a Supreme God ascend to that realm?"
The Enforcer God scoffs. "A mere junior disciple, unaware of the vastness of the heavens, thinks that Supreme Will beings are so easily cultivated? Does it not take a fool to treat mere coincidence as an eternal truth?"
"Speak with caution."
Hao Yue speaks with measured gravity. "Though the Emperor of Life is a junior, it's said he has already defeated a Supreme Will being of higher rank—making him a force comparable to the Heavenly Judge God King or the Spring and Autumn Law Master, perhaps even more potent. We must not speak so boldly. And besides, he truly has produced two beings of Supreme Will. What if he genuinely possesses such a unique technique?"
"All of this is mere fiction."
The Enforcer God snorts with a cold laugh. "I have never seen him defeat a Supreme Will being of higher rank. I simply cannot believe that such figures as the Heavenly Judge God King or the Spring and Autumn Law Master could have been cultivated through a mere small-scale inter-tribal conflict."
"In less than a year, a being comparable to a Supreme Will-tier master has emerged—do you really believe that?"
"Probably just the Supreme Will elders behind the scenes, crafting a grand image for this Supreme Lord."
The Moonlight God-Emperor, witnessing this air of solitary clarity among the crowd, couldn't help but feel a touch of exasperation.
He knew that the Enforcer God-Emperor, constantly patrolling across the myriad realms, had little firsthand knowledge of events on the Supreme Continent, and thus, lacking direct experience, harbored doubt—something entirely natural.
He said nothing, but a whisper of skepticism stirred within his own heart.
Could it truly be, as this Enforcer God-Emperor claimed, that the legends surrounding the Emperor of the People were entirely fabricated by the Supreme Will elders to elevate his status?
Was every single detail of this journey merely designed to elevate the Emperor of the People?
He found himself lost in confusion.
If that were true, then had they come here for nothing at all?
Meanwhile, the other Supreme Deities were also discussing the very purpose of their journey.
Most of the Supreme Deities considered it merely a coincidence that the Emperor of the World had managed to cultivate two Masters of Supreme Will.
After all, even the Emperor of the World himself had not yet ascended to Supreme Deity status.
To claim he had already produced two beings of Supreme Will was simply too unbelievable.
Thus, the very reason they were sent here stirred resentment within them.
Of course, resentment is resentment—they only murmured it silently in their hearts, never daring to voice it aloud.
Behind the Emperor of the World stood the Great Will Sovereign, and they had come under orders from the Sovereign of the Sun and the Sovereign of the Moon.
Who would dare speak out such grievances? A fool would indeed do so.
Nevertheless, in some subtle way, they all harbored a reluctant unwillingness to accept the Emperor of the World’s leadership.
At this very moment—
A new group of Supreme Deities has arrived.
Exactly two hundred Supreme Deities dispatched by Tiancheng Deity King and Chunqiu Law Master.
These Supreme Deities did not mix in with the Supreme Deities of the Solar and Lunar Divine Courts, but stood apart, whispering among themselves about their purpose here.
In expression and demeanor, they seemed to hold much the same views as the Supreme Deities of the Solar and Lunar Courts.
Several of them had already begun to prepare themselves for the spectacle ahead.
One couldn't help but wonder what methods the recently rising, aspiring Supreme Lord, Cangsheng Di Zun, would employ to subdue them?
At that very moment—
A figure suddenly appeared directly before them.
It was Zhou Zhou.
"Are you all here to undertake training within my Prairial Divine Realm?"
"Then, all of you come with me back to the Jiaoyang Divine Capital. The training arrangements have already been made."
Zhou Zhou spoke, and then opened a portal directly leading to the Jiaoyang Divine Capital.
But soon, he realized that these Supreme Deities were unwilling to accept his orders and accompany him to the Jiaoyang Divine Capital.
This resistance was evident in their expressions and actions.
Out of a total of one thousand two hundred Supreme Deities, fewer than half dared to fly toward the portal and enter.
The rest remained in place, scrutinizing Zhou Zhou with a myriad of uncertain glances.
Zhou Zhou arched an eyebrow, and glanced at them as well. With the strength of his will, he instantly penetrated their inner thoughts.
"Ah, it's just disobedience..."
Zhou Zhou smiled.
The Supreme Deities, seeing this, looked puzzled, unsure of what made Zhou Zhou laugh.
The next instant.
They knew.
Boom!
Gales erupted!
Dark clouds swallowed the sun!
Thunder serpents shot across the sky!
A terrifying, sky-consuming pressure surged forth from Zhou Zhou’s form, erupting in an instant and pressing down upon every one of the Supreme Deities present.
This pressure was controlled with exquisite precision—though it appeared to shatter the heavens and alter the very fabric of the skies, it only affected the Supreme Deities. To all other beings beyond their realm, nothing stirred. As if nothing had happened at all, only the weather had shifted.
Yet within their own perception—
Zhou Zhou’s expression and movements remained unchanged, yet suddenly he rose above them, gazing down with an overwhelming, suffocating dominion that pressed upon their very souls.
At this moment, they could no longer sense the laws themselves.
They could no longer feel the divine energy within their bodies.
This made them profoundly terrified.
