Chapter 1659: War Summary

"Mother, are you truly saying that?"

Etsu-Ryu, the Sacred Princess, had just been sulking when she heard this and instantly brightened with excitement.

She was fiercely independent, deeply revering strength—her greatest aspiration throughout life had been to ascend from the Precursor to the Supreme Will Realm. If, after joining the Jiaoyang Legion, she could truly harness its resources to achieve that ascension, then she wouldn't have lost anything at all. After all, wouldn't just being a frontline fighter be enough?

Etsu-Ryu felt a surge of confidence. Her Etsu-Ryu Divine Power was perfectly suited for battle!

With unwavering belief in her own abilities, she was certain she could swiftly earn countless military accolades, acquire the resources and legacies she desired, and ultimately propel herself toward enlightenment.

Only...

He glanced at the Celestial Sovereign seated upon the throne, yet a lingering sense of disappointment still stirred within his heart.

The Taiyin Divine Court.

Within the Moon Sky Temple.

Upon the throne.

The Sovereign of the Taiyin sat alone, gazing at the mirror formed by moonlight before him.

The image reflected upon it showed the scene of the Eclipse Moon Princess meeting the Celestial Sovereign.

He could feel that the Celestial Sovereign had indeed sensed his observation.

Yet since the Celestial Sovereign showed no sign of displeasure, he continued to watch.

When he saw the Eclipse Moon Princess looking sorrowful, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Stupid child.

Do you really think the Emperor of the People didn't see what I and you meant?

He's playing dumb while knowing full well.

At this thought, he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

That common woman named Li Ya—how strange, what fortune she has—she's managed to marry such a noble lord.

Compared to that, even my own daughter seems inferior to Li Ya.

On the other side.

The Sun God's Court.

Within the Hall of Sacred Sun:

"Ha ha ha..."

The Sun Emperor Sovereign watched the disarmed Eshuo Sacred Princess, his heart swelling with a joyous, exhilarating satisfaction.

You were told to imitate my son and forge ties with the Sovereign of the People.

Did you come out worse?

Did you go blank-eyed?

You wanted to send your daughter, but she showed no interest—instead, she simply sent your daughter straight into the military camp.

Surely, this isn't necessarily a bad thing, and perhaps even a great blessing for Eshuo Sacred Princess.

Yet…

The Sun Emperor Sovereign felt a deep, uncontainable pleasure, and at the same time, he added an intriguing label to the Sovereign of the People.

"Such a young disciple—most fascinating."

The Sun Emperor Sovereign chuckled, his voice warm and amused.

Then, upon thinking of the gift the Yin Emperor had bestowed upon the Heaven Emperor, he shook his head slightly again.

The Yin Emperor still was so frugal.

The Yin Jade Spirit Pill, though a pill of the Supreme Will Realm, and indeed quite effective,

when compared side by side, seemed on the surface to be more advanced than the Nine-Heaven Pyro-Emperor Pill.

But!

The materials for the Nine-Heaven Pyro-Emperor Pill were far easier to gather and far simpler to produce.

Its effects were also more immediate and obvious.

As for the Yin Jade Spirit Pill—

besides the rare essence of the Yin Jade Spirit Crystal, which could be directly obtained from this cosmos—

the vast majority of its other ingredients had to be collected from the Ultimate Void Great Cosmos.

The difficulty of gathering these materials was immense.

Even the Taiyin Divine Court, if it wished to collect every single ingredient required for crafting the Taiyin Jade Soul Pill, would need nearly ten thousand years—along with an enormous sacrifice.

The cost, one might not even speak of.

Yet merely the span of ten thousand years—though not long in absolute terms, nor short in relative measure—varied from person to person.

For Zhou Zhou, whose growth spanned only twenty-three years, this was absolutely a pill of extremely poor return on investment.

Taiyin's Imperial Sovereign fully knew this, yet still entrusted the formula to Zhou Zhou.

This act prompted the Sun Sovereign to harbor a malicious thought: perhaps Taiyin Sovereign merely wished to form an alliance with the Celestial People Sovereign without incurring great expense.

Compared to the formula for the Taiyin Jade Soul Pill, the actual pill itself was far more tangible and substantial.

The Sun Sovereign shook his head with a smile, deciding not to dwell on it further, and with a wave of his hand, scattered the mirror before him.

Given that a decent relationship has been established with the Celestial Sovereign of the Common People, let us simply hold on to this for now.

Future efforts to strengthen ties may come later—no need for haste.

The Sun Sovereign continues to manage his affairs.

The Prajya Palace.

Zhou Zhou watched the bewildered expression of the Eclipse Moon Noblewoman, a quiet smile forming in his mind. On the surface, he inquired curiously:

"Does the Eclipse Moon Noblewoman have any objections to my arrangements?"

"No, no, no."

The Eclipse Moon Noblewoman snapped back to herself, hastily responding, "My lady... I willingly accept the position of Deputy Commander of the Prajya Legion to serve the Emperor."

"That would be ideal."

Zhou Zhou nodded with a smile. "Then, by the way, you might as well join my Prajya Divine Realm as well."

"Very well."

The Eclipse Moon Princess did not hesitate, speaking directly.

Having assumed the position of deputy commander of the opposing force's main army, it was natural to join their nation's power structure. The Eclipse Moon Princess had long anticipated this.

After a brief conversation, Zhou Zhou then sent her on her way.

The Eclipse Moon Princess bowed and immediately departed from the Prajaya Divine Palace, heading straight to the Prajaya Army's base.

And just moments after her departure, Zhou Zhou received the day's battle summary from his side.

He glanced at it.

Through the coordinated efforts of five battlefronts—the Supreme Continent battlefield, the Ultimate Void Cosmic battlefield, the Tianjun Corpse Lands battlefield, the Crimson Cosmic battlefield, and the Eternity Continent battlefield—after thorough tallying:

The Prajaya Divine Nation had today gathered approximately 50 pieces of various ranks of Mist Hearts, Source Crystals, skill books, equipment, and basic materials.

783 Jing 1,298 Zhao 3,841 Yi 1,298 Wan 2,389 pieces of Bronze-Level Lord Talent Crystal Fragments!

521 Zhao 298.3 billion 27.31 million 27.31 pieces of True God-Level Divine Crystals!

219 Zhao 349.7 billion 17.21 million 2,348 pieces of Prime God-Level Divine Crystals!

10 billion 2389 million 1273 pieces of supreme deity-level divine herbs, divine ingredients, divine minerals, divine blueprints, and similar treasures!

7,000 pieces of will transcendence-level divine herbs, divine ingredients, divine minerals, divine blueprints, and similar treasures!

On the front of infiltration.

Today, Zhou Zhou’s various body duplicates obtained a total of 512 Da 3481 Jing soldiers, 1 Zhao 2341 billion 2374 million 3471 divine beings, 3129 billion 2378 million 2371 genuine deities, 521 million 3481 primary deities, 1621 supreme deities, 1011 nearly transcendental will-level beings, and 12 transcendental will-level beings through the infiltration techniques "Mofei Wangchen" and "Heaven’s Mandate Son," as well as direct recruitment by sheer strength.

Additionally, the lords of the Star Alliance also infiltrated 1 Da 1283 Jing soldiers, 8123 billion 1237 million divine beings, over 9900 million genuine deities, and 140,000 2231 primary deities!

Finally, regarding the promotion of deities.

Today, a total of 62,310,247,138,473,271 legendary upper-tier soldiers have been promoted to lower-tier deities!

Additionally, 31,230,237,123,71 upper-tier deities have ascended to lower-tier true deities!

Furthermore, 371,2381 human-peak true deities and 18,237,823 non-human peak true deities have sensed their master deity bottlenecks and have applied to enter the Palace of Cycles for meditation and cultivation, in an attempt to transcend the master deity realm!

Moreover, 711 upper-tier master deities have also sensed their ascension bottlenecks and, today, have decided to enter the Palace of Cycles to prepare for promotion to First-Class Supreme Deities!

Lastly, 15 cultivators who have reached the absolute limit of willful deification are now preparing to enter the Palace of Cycles tonight, aiming to ascend to lower-tier Supreme Will Deities!

Originally, Zhou Zhou's forces consisted of 10,540,359,782,381,347,801,293 soldiers, 4,026,047,330,681,242,424 deities, 36,080,589,509,605 true deities, 18,950,3465 master deities, 2,590 supreme deities, 606 nearly supreme will deities, and 10 supreme will deities!

Now, with the newly recruited deity warriors and the five supreme deities and fifteen master deities recruited from the Chaos Secret Realm, the total strength under Zhou Zhou's command has reached: 15,670,836,128,730,287,612,930,021 soldiers, 62,310,954,711,570,222,1 deities, 98,620,545,043,47 true deities, 24,300,9177 master deities, 4,211 supreme deities, 1,617 nearly supreme will deities, and 22 supreme will deities!

After reviewing this, Zhou Zhou's face broke into a smile.

His gaze settled upon the numbers of supreme deities, nearly supreme will deities, and supreme will deities—

4,211 supreme deities!

1617 Approved, the Supreme Will Realm!!

22 Masters of the Supreme Will Realm!!!

These figures, even set against the entire Highest Cosmic Universe, are utterly terrifying.

Over 4,000 Supreme Gods!

The entire Highest Cosmic Universe contains no more than 10,000 Supreme Gods. Now, the number of Supreme Gods under His command has already reached half of the total Supreme Gods in the entire Highest Cosmic Universe.

The Masters of the Supreme Will Realm are even more daunting.

He does not know exactly how many Masters of the Supreme Will Realm exist in the current Highest Cosmic Universe.

Yet he can surmise that even if one added up every single Master of the Supreme Will Realm across the entire Highest Cosmic Universe, the total would still fall short of the number under His command.

After all, this is no less than 1,600 Masters of the Supreme Will Realm.

Generally speaking...

A vast cosmos desiring so many nearly Supreme Will-level masters would require at least a hundred thousand Supreme God-level beings!

Yet the Supreme Gods of the highest cosmos number no more than ten thousand—naturally, it's impossible to possess such a multitude of nearly Supreme Will-level masters.

As for the final Supreme Will-level masters, His own forces now number no less than twenty-two!

Among them, there are even several top-tier Supreme Will-level masters!

These additional Supreme Will-level masters were forcibly subdued by His duplicates, Zhou Shi and Zhou Er, through sheer force in the realm of Tian Jun's corpse.

Others would never find sweetness in a forcibly twisted fruit.

But He possesses the divine talent of "Divine Sovereign"—the only supreme master among all divine talents.

Even if the fruit is forcibly twisted, it still tastes sweet when it falls into Zhou Zhou's mouth.

"Once one's strength reaches a certain level, mere force can achieve subversion."

Zhou Zhou nodded with satisfaction.

And what would bring Him greater joy is the fact that tomorrow, fifteen masters of the Supreme Will will be elevated.

Zhou Zhou opened the list of promotions and glanced at it. Among the aspiring masters on the verge of attaining the Supreme Will rank, two came from the Sun God Court and the Moon God Court, one from the Heavenly Punishment God King, and one from the Spring and Autumn Law Master.

As for the five Supreme Will masters brought by the Universal Evil Master, along with the Master himself, though they currently show signs of promotion, they still cannot ascend today.

The remaining eleven aspiring Supreme Will masters are, in fact, the soldiers under His command.

"Perfect."

"When those four aspiring Supreme Will masters finally reach the rank of Supreme Will, I shall have finally given the Sun Emperor Masters their due."

"At least, I have proven to them that entrusting these third-tier, fourth-tier, and even aspiring Supreme Will masters into my hands was a correct decision."

"And that my methods for cultivating Supreme Will masters are truly unparalleled, unique in every way!"

"Hmm, hmm."

"The Sun Emperor Masters must not have expected it—just two days after their arrival, four of their highest gods have already ascended to the rank of Supreme Will master."

"Hmph, don't even speak of them—nor did I expect it myself."

Zhou Zhou smiled.

This proved that the Supreme Gods delivered to him were indeed candidates with the potential to ascend into the realm of Supreme Will.

Not merely weak or unqualified Supreme Gods, sent as a mere trial.

From this alone, one could see the profound trust these beings placed in his ability to cultivate Supreme Will-level masters.

And he had not failed them in the slightest.

The newly forged Supreme Will-level masters would appear before them tomorrow.

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he murmured to himself:

"When word spreads of these newly ascended Supreme Will-level masters, my reputation for cultivating such beings will echo throughout the entire Supreme Cosmos."

"Then perhaps, more Supreme Will-level masters will recommend their own Supreme Gods to come and 'study' under me."

"Even some supreme deities without any faction allegiance might voluntarily join my Sunlit Divine Realm."

"Everyone involved—Zhou Zheng, Zheng Yuanqi, and the others—must be prepared for this."

Actions speak louder than words.

Zhou Zhou immediately conveyed this speculation to Zhou Zheng and Zheng Yuanqi, instructing them to prepare accordingly.

As the hands-off master, He would naturally not personally oversee such matters.

Then He glanced at the number of Chaos Divine Treasures in His possession and found it had reached 250,000 units!

Next, He turned his gaze toward Zhou Shiyu's situation in the Yellow Heaven Universe.

Today, Zhou Shiyu's Holy Day Divine Realm had conquered 15 primary Great Deity realms and 8 intermediate Great Deity realms.

On the Supreme Continent, under Zhou Zheng's arrangements, the Sunlit Divine Realm established eight primary Great Deity realms and incorporated them into its domain.

Finally, Zhou Zhou looked toward Zhou Shizhi's current status.

Zhou Wuyu led the Demon Devil God Nation today, investing vast resources within the Crimson Cosmic Sphere to help his subordinate, high-rank Crimson Lord factions establish five primary Master God realms and conquer three primary Master God realms founded by local advanced God nations.

Zhou Zhou stared at this, momentarily stunned, and immediately opened the territory upgrade interface.

Indeed, he found that the territory had now advanced to a second-tier Supreme God-level domain.
