Chapter 1652: Supreme Grade · Unique Lord Talent - Lord of Nothingness!
Chapter 1652 - Advanced·Unique Master's Talent - The Sovereign of Nothingness!
After a moment had passed.
The strange phenomena across the myriad realms began to fade gradually.
Within the Ever-Cycling Holy Palace.
Zhou Zhou slowly withdrew the aura that had surged with his ascension.
"Ah…"
He exhaled a breath, then carefully assessed the state of his divine body. A look of joyful anticipation spread across his face.
At last, he had reached the Precise Supreme Will Realm.
For him, this stage signified that he had attained the pinnacle of mastery in comprehending the fundamental laws of existence. From here on, all he needed to do was transform his existing laws into a new form, crafting his very first Will Technique. Once that was achieved, his entire power would coalesce around this Will Technique, forming a Will Core. And thus, he would fully ascend to the Lower Supreme Will Realm!
He felt a deep sense of anticipation.
The moment when his first law skill would sublimate into a will skill was no longer far off.
After all, he had long since elevated his own will to the level of a lower supreme will.
The impending transformation into a will skill was now akin to a powerful benefactor pulling one upward from above, while allies below pushed in unison from behind; failure was an absolute impossibility.
In a day at the least, or two days at the most, I will officially ascend to the realm of the lower supreme will.
Zhou Zhou contemplated silently in his heart.
When that time came.
He would go challenge that powerhouse of the illusory clan, a master of the lower will transcendence realm, who was suppressed beneath the Supreme Continent.
He would also formally declare to the world that he, the final reserve Supreme Lord to ascend, possessed a peerless brilliance that commanded their awestruck reverence!
Now, even at the quasi-supreme will level and without employing the power of the Yellow Springs, I can still manifest the demeanor of a top-tier supreme will powerhouse once I activate King.
And if I do use King, I can take yet another step forward.
"Right now, if I were to face those eight prodigious heroes of yesterday, I'd be able to handle them with far greater ease."
Zhou Zhou nodded slightly.
Then, with a thought, a lord-tier talent interface appeared before him.
[Lord Talent: Master of the Void (Ultimate Tier · Unique)]
[Specific Talent Effect 1 – Void Body: You possess a Void Body. Should you perish, as long as any living being silently recites your name, you shall be reborn.]
[Specific Talent Effect 2 – Fate's Protection: You are shielded by the laws of fate. No curse of fate at the highest or highest-tier below will be able to kill your destiny, nor can it cast any form of curse upon you.]
[Specific Talent Effect 3 – King of Rebirth: Each day, you automatically gain 100 resurrection opportunities. You may bestow these resurrection chances upon any being at the level of Supreme God or below, allowing them to perfectly revive regardless of any damage sustained.]
[Specific Talent Effect 4 – Void Cycle: Within your will lies an independent realm of reincarnation. Should you be slain by an enemy surpassing your will’s level, rendering all resurrection methods ineffective, you may enter your own reincarnation realm to achieve perfect rebirth. This reincarnation rebirth is granted once per month.]
[Specific Talent Effect 5 – Void Will: Upon the destruction of your reincarnation realm, you will sacrifice your Void Body and ascend to become a special Supreme Will-being—the Master of the Void.]
Zhou Zhou saw this lordly aptitude and his brow twitched slightly.
"Indeed, this is the lordly aptitude..."
His interest stirred.
He remembered that the precursor of this ultimate-tier, singular lordly aptitude was the mythic-tier, singular lordly aptitude—The Immortal King.
The Immortal King's abilities were all powerful.
Yet as his own strength grew and his methods became ever more refined, the grandeur emanating from The Immortal King gradually faded.
Yesterday, he hadn't deliberately chosen to elevate any particular lordly aptitude to the ultimate-tier singular lordly aptitude, for he had no specific desire in mind—so he simply decided to randomly select one.
Unbeknownst to him, he had randomly selected this very aptitude.
He began to examine carefully the effects of this ultimate-tier singular lordly aptitude.
The more he studied...
Zhou Zhou grew increasingly astonished.
He discovered that this lord talent of his, which had been randomly upgraded, was actually entirely to his liking.
To say nothing of the rest, the first lord talent effect alone—Body of Nothingness—was enough to allow him and his clones to undergo infinite rebirth after death.
If a clone were to die, there was not even a need for him to expend his origin source to recreate it; the clone could reborn on its own by virtue of the traces it had left behind in this world.
"As long as there are living beings in the world silently reciting my name, I shall immediately achieve rebirth."
Zhou Zhou muttered these words, unable to help but click his tongue in wonder, feeling a surge of delight.
He was, after all, the third reserve candidate for the Supreme Lord now, and moreover, the most famously rising third reserve candidate for the Supreme Lord in all the heavens and myriad realms today.
Across the entire heavens and myriad realms, almost all deities and powerhouses above the deity level knew of him; after all, the phenomena caused by his previous breakthroughs had been far too immense, making it difficult for powerhouses of the deity level in the heavens and myriad realms to ignore his existence.
Add to that the massive population of subjects in the Blazing Sun Divine Kingdom!
Right now, relying solely on the effect of the Body of Nothingness, as long as he was not completely erased from all traces within the Supreme Cosmos or even the Ultimate Void Cosmos by a powerhouse of the Will Transcendence level through some inconceivable means, he could be said to possess a completely immortal body.
Survival capabilities have been astronomically enhanced!
The effect of Fate's Grace remained largely unchanged from before, merely upgrading its protective threshold—from a level above the Primordial God to a Tier Four Supreme God.
Useful.
Yet, for Zhou Zhou, it held little practical value.
For He already possessed similar capabilities.
As for the third innate ability—The King of Rebirth—this is indeed a solid resurrection power. After all, it requires no rituals or sacrifices, and is simply a matter of thought. One mere intention, and the desired individual is restored.
At least, it surpasses Fate's Grace.
And then there is the fourth innate ability—The Void Cycle—which is Zhou Zhou's personal favorite among the Lord's innate effects.
With the Void Cycle, even if Zhou Zhou himself is erased by a will-level transcendence technique, He still possesses the means to resurrect.
A true "backup for a backup"!
Zhou Zhou cherished this immensely.
He would lavish praise upon every means capable of preserving one's life, without sparing a single word.
As for the innate effect 5—The Will of Nothingness—it could truly be called the "third move after the second move after the first move."
Even if one day he encountered an enemy so powerful that it erased every trace of his existence throughout the entire Ultimate Void Cosmos, annihilating even the cyclical realm he had created, plunging him into true death—
he would still possess one final path.
The ascension to the legendary, transcendent Supreme Will State—the Master of Nothingness!
What is the Master of Nothingness?
This was a hidden secret Zhou Zhou only learned from the transcendental lineage of the Chaotic Will.
The Master of Nothingness!
A unique being of the Supreme Will State.
The Master of Void is said to be a supreme will-being born from the lineage of the Ultimate Void.
What makes Him exceptional is that as soon as He is born, He completely vanishes into the void—no one, not even a being of transcendent will, can perceive Him hidden within the void.
Only the legendary, eternally unbroken beings of the highest realm can detect the presence of the Master of Void.
Isn't that an incredibly powerful ability?
After all, this is absolute concealment—no will-being beyond His level can find Him, meaning He could do whatever He wished, right?
But if any being truly believed that, they would be gravely mistaken.
Though the Master of Void possesses an unparalleled ability to conceal himself, even surpassing all others across the entire Ultimate Void Cosmos,
He suffers from one colossal flaw.
Once he vanishes into the void, he becomes fully absorbed into it and can never emerge.
In this state, the Master of Void can only exist like a ghost, transparent and invisible, drifting through the void, observing the entire universe from afar.
Don't speak of doing anything in the real world—never mind attempting the simplest thing, like speaking to living beings. It's as if the entity had vanished completely from this world.
Only the Sovereign of Nothingness knows that it has not truly disappeared, merely retreated into the void, unable to emerge.
Yet this state is scarcely different from total annihilation.
If the Sovereign of Nothingness cannot alter this condition, then it may as well be entirely gone.
And if the Sovereign of Nothingness wishes to break free from this state, there is only one method.
This method is simple in theory, yet impossibly difficult in practice.
It is for the Sovereign of Nothingness to transcend through the attainment of willful transcendence.
Once the Sovereign of Nothingness reaches that level, it will immediately emerge from the void and reappear in the real world.
And the Sovereign of Nothingness after such a transcendence possesses power far exceeding that of ordinary will-transcendent beings—especially in self-preservation. At this stage, the Sovereign's form of nothingness can even ignore most attacks from will-transcendent warriors, standing inherently unassailable.
That is all the information Zhou Zhou has gathered about the Sovereign of Nothingness.
But merely these considerations stirred a quiet reflection within Him.
If, one day in the future, He were to face an enemy beyond resistance—so powerful that all his strategies would collapse into futility—perhaps becoming a Master of Nothingness would not be such a bad choice.
Of course.
Immortality, naturally, remains the finest path.
"This Master of Nothingness talent has added another path to my escape."
Zhou Zhou summarized it, then closed the Master Talent interface, and immediately headed to Mu Gu's residence to share tea and conversation.
A moment later,
a streak of golden light shot out from the crimson nest and landed upon the ground—Wu Xin.
Upon seeing Zhou Zhou, Wu Xin bowed respectfully at once:
"Your Majesty, I am honored to see you."
Zhou Zhou nodded.
Wu Xin, seeing this, immediately handed over three world rings filled with spoils to Zhou Zhou.
Zhou Zhou took them, entered them with his willpower, glanced inside, then handed the promotion certificate to Wu Xin, instructing him to go find the reserve recruits and promote them to Supreme Divine Weapons and Supreme Holy Divine Beings.
As for himself, he left the Wu Gu Valley estate, stepped out of the Divine Realm, and arrived at the Summoning Gate.
He summoned a first-tier Supreme Divine-class cosmic warship as usual, then tossed all 120 yao of recruitment notices into the Summoning Gate. After spending 100 first-tier Supreme Divine Divine Crystals, he successfully recruited all of them and assigned them to the cosmic warship.
Then, using another 100 first-tier Supreme Divine Divine Crystals, he summoned today’s populace.
This time, over 230 billion civilians were summoned—60 billion more than normal, including fifteen first-tier Supreme Divine Divine Beings.
Subsequently, Zhou Zhou traveled alone to Yu Jing Mountain, spending 1,000 jing of lower-tier Divine Beings’ lower-grade Divine Crystals, and summoned 100 jing of Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, the Heavenly Sovereigns.
At this moment—
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…
And there, rising into the heavens from the direction of the Palace of Cycles, came nine million, nine hundred thirty-eight thousand, eight hundred sixty-two beams of various laws, shining with radiant power!
Immediately thereafter,
among the countless stars above the sky, a new phenomenon emerged—exactly three hundred and seventy-one distinct celestial anomalies.
The celestial signs marking the ascension of the Primordial God to the status of Supreme Deity!
Just as the divine beings across the myriad realms were about to be struck by shock,
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Boom!
Boom!
Seven columns of light, each a different hue, surged straight into the starry heavens.
Under the illumination of these seven beams, the Sun Star and the Moon Star once again, as if yesterday, voluntarily dimmed their radiance, allowing these seven columns to become the dominant source of light across the myriad realms of existence.
At this moment,
Across the infinite realms—whether the most powerful beings who had transcended will, or ordinary mortals—every single one was struck by profound astonishment.
Their shock at this moment was even tenfold greater than the day before, perhaps even more.
In comparison,
The three hundred and seventy-one newly ascended Supreme Gods seemed utterly insignificant.
After a long while…
The deities watching this scene erupted into thunderous discourse.
"Wait... did I just see it right? Seven beings of near-superior will have ascended simultaneously?!!"
"Good heavens, within our entire supreme cosmos, I believe there are no more than fifty beings of superior will. What day is it today? How could seven new superior will beings suddenly emerge?"
"The most absurd part is that all seven of these newly ascended beings hail from the Jiaoyang Divine Capital under the dominion of the Emperor of the People. I don't need to think twice—these seven must have ascended just like the two before them, all under the guidance and aid of the Emperor of the People!"
"So, does that mean the Emperor of the People now commands ten superior will beings under his banner? Including the Supreme Commander-in-Chief himself, who already possesses superior will strength, that makes eleven superior will entities in total within the Jiaoyang Divine Nation alone?!!"
"That sounds like pure fantasy."
"I feel as though I'm caught in a dream—unbelievable! Another miracle brought forth by the Emperor of the People! And one so profound that even the highest will beings must be stunned and honored!"
"Creating nine entirely new superior will beings from sheer personal effort—something even the Heavenly Punishment God and the Spring-Autumn Law Master have never accomplished."
"Once, I was a devoted follower of the Heavenly Punishment God. But now, the Emperor of the People has become my new idol. I sense that he will bring a new dawn of hope to our entire supreme cosmos!"
"I feel the same."
"Nonsense! If the Celestial Sovereign Master continues this trajectory and brings hundreds—perhaps even more—of Supreme Will Masters to our highest cosmos, not only would the Crimson Cosmos tremble, but even the enemies from the Realm of Delusion would be utterly annihilated, forever deterred from ever daring to threaten our supreme cosmos again."
"Hundreds—perhaps even more Supreme Will Masters? Do you truly believe such beings are easily born?"
"It's exceedingly difficult for us, but for the Celestial Sovereign Master, cultivating such beings might be as effortless as breathing. Look at these nine newly ascended Supreme Will Masters—evidence, pure and unadulterated."
"Ah, so another grand welcome ceremony is about to take place. Well, that's a good thing. I'd actually love to meet a new friend every single day."
"Wow, the fellow above is a Supreme Will Master—let's cling tightly to their leg!"
"Clinging to the leg +1!"
"Clinging to the leg +11111!"
