Chapter 1670: Protection from the Supreme Will! Crisis!

Chapter 1670: The Shelter of Supreme Will! Crisis!

Above the Sun-Brilliant Nation.

Snap! Snap!

Two figures materialized out of nowhere—precisely Tiancheng God King and Chunqiu Lawmaster, who had just been conversing within the divine palace.

They had never intended to chat. Both had been patiently awaiting the emergence of their own Supreme Will Beings. Now, seeing that their disciples had successfully ascended, an overwhelming sense of urgency surged within them. Without further delay, they stepped out to witness it firsthand.

When they saw the fifteen towering columns of divine will rising into the sky, their astonishment was beyond words.

To have heard of it was one thing; to witness it with one’s own eyes was entirely different.

To see fifteen Supreme Will Beings emerge simultaneously—this was a spectacle not merely rare in the highest cosmos, but perhaps unprecedented even across the entire Ultimate Void Cosmos.

They felt as though they had truly expanded their horizons.

And when they spotted two familiar columns of will, their eyes sparkled with joy—so intense that it seemed ready to spill over.

Because those were their subordinates.

Now, beneath their banner, a new subordinate of the Supreme Will Realm has been added!

And just at this moment—

The forms of the Sun Emperor and the Moon Emperor appeared in the distance, near them.

Upon their arrival, they immediately turned their gaze toward two of the fifteen columns of will radiating from the fifteen pillars of will.

Those were precisely the will columns emitted by the two Supreme Deities sent by them.

When they first arrived, they had only been Fourth-Rank Supreme Deities.

Now, they had ascended to the rank of Supreme Will Realm beings.

Reflecting back on the experiences of the past few days, both of these apex existences of the highest cosmos, their eyes flickered with a sense of disorientation.

This truly feels like a dream.

What exactly did this Emperor of the World possess that allowed the Supreme Will Realm masters to appear in waves, like products off a production line?

The two Emperors of the Realm exchanged astonished glances.

"Emperor of the Sun, Emperor of the Moon." ×2

The Heavenly Punishment King and the Spring-Autumn Law Master greeted them with courtesy.

"Your Highnesses are also here."

The Emperor of the Sun chuckled, "It seems you've also gathered something?"

"Indeed."

"We too have subordinates of the Supreme God who, under the cultivation of our third brother, have ascended to the Supreme Will Realm."

The Heavenly Punishment King smiled.

"Congratulations, congratulations."

"Same joy, your majesties."

They exchanged bows and then waited for the fifteen Sovereign Will beings to fully ascend.

At this moment, Zhou Zhou was gazing upward, watching them rise.

Suddenly,

a presence radiating pure white light appeared beside him.

It was the Supreme Will.

"May I have the honor of addressing the Supreme Will."

Zhou Zhou smiled.

"Then, what lordly talent would you like to enhance this time?"

The Supreme Will asked with a smile.

"Still the Untitled·Only Sovereign Talent?"

Zhou Zhou cautiously asked.

"How? You see your Supreme Holy Body about to ascend to the Supreme Will level, yet you're dismissing the reward I've given you?"

The Supreme Will smiled and said.

"Absolutely not, absolutely not."

Zhou Zhou quickly shook his head.

Observing his demeanor, the Supreme Will then said:

"Alright then."

"If you can cultivate fifty Sovereign Will-level beings, I'll elevate any one of your Sovereign Talents to the Transcendent Level·Only Sovereign Talent. How does that sound?"

"Excellent!"

"Thank you, Great Will!"

Zhou Zhou immediately agreed without hesitation.

This was the sole master talent of the transcendent rank.

If he had to rely solely on himself, to elevate the Supreme Holy Body to the transcendent rank and then use that Supreme Holy Body to forge the sole master talent of the transcendent rank, he would have no idea how long it would take.

Now, he already possessed the strength of lower and even mid-tier wills at the transcendent level. His future opponents would likely be of the same caliber.

Thus, he desperately needed the sole master talent of the transcendent rank to strengthen his power.

Although the unranked sole master talent could enhance his strength, Zhou Zhou no longer satisfied with such minor improvements.

"What master talent would you like to elevate to the unranked sole master talent today?"

The Great Will asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhou did not hesitate, and directly replied:

"I wish for the Elder to elevate Your Supreme Will's protection from the Supreme Tier—Unique to the Supreme Beyond—Unique tier."

The Protection of the Supreme Will originated from Zhou Zhou's acquisition of the Ten Primordial Gods' Ten Divine Guardianship Talents, which bestowed upon him a special master talent.

When it first emerged, it was already a Supreme Tier—Unique Master Talent, with effects equally astonishing—enabling the deities under Zhou Zhou's command to ascend to the rank of Supreme Gods with greater ease.

Now, both the Prajaya Divine Realm and Zhou Zhou's core powerhouses have already ascended beyond the Supreme God tier, reaching the level of those who dwell in the Realm of Supreme Will.

Thus, the Supreme Tier—Unique level of Supreme Will Protection no longer aligns with Your requirements.

Therefore, it is imperative that this talent be elevated to the Supreme Beyond—Unique Master Talent.

And since the Supreme Will is presently at my side, I beg You to assist me in this elevation.

"It is indeed a sound decision."

The Supreme Will, upon hearing this, likewise concurred with Zhou Zhou's choice.

He raised his right hand, as always, fingers lightly touching Zhou Zhou's brow.

The next instant.

Zhou Zhou only felt a familiar, warm force surge into his mind from the brow, then spreading out through every part of his divine body.

A moment later.

Rows of textual prompts appeared before Zhou Zhan.

...

[Your highest-tier, unique Lord's Talent—Pax Supreme has ascended to the Unranked, Unique Lord's Talent—The Shelter of Supreme Will!]

[Specific effects of your Lord's Talent are as follows:]

[Shelter of Supreme Will (Unranked, Unique)]

[Specific Talent Effect 1—Grace of Supreme Will: Every living being under you, including yourself and your subjects, gains a baseline understanding of Lordly Principles. When contemplating these principles, they will more readily penetrate their essence, grasp the supreme Lordly Principles, and more easily comprehend Will Power, advancing upon the Path of Supreme Will.]

[Specific Talent Effect 2 - Will Above All: Your innate will talent, along with that of your subjects, has reached the Supreme Will tier, allowing you to elevate your will state to the Supreme Will level more easily than other beings.]

[Specific Talent Effect 3 - Supreme Heart: When you and your subjects ascend to the status of Supreme Deity, your success rate increases by 50%; when ascending to the Supreme Will Realm, your success rate increases by 10%.]

...

After reading it through, Zhou Zhou felt an overwhelming surge of excitement.

First, possessing a Will Talent at the Supreme Will level—obviously, that alone was extraordinary.

But it was the Supreme Heart that truly stunned him. Simply ascending to the rank of Supreme Deity now carries a 50% boost in success probability! And the chance of reaching the Supreme Will Realm increases by 10% as well!

Ten percent! That’s ten percent!

That’s already an incredibly formidable advantage.

According to His understanding of the Ultimate Void Cosmos...

In the boundless ultimate void cosmos, countless supreme deities, driven to ascend to the realm of Supreme Will, would willingly sacrifice their lives and endure death in mortal combat—just to increase their chances of ascension by a mere 1%.

Should any powerful being offer to raise their odds by 10%, they would be ready to trade their very lives for that gain.

The realm of Supreme Will is precisely what drives such boundless courage and self-sacrifice!

Zhou Zhou felt a surge of anticipation.

His original probability of cultivating a Supreme Will being was already high—now with an additional 10% success rate, the number of new Supreme Will beings under his command tomorrow might double.

The mightiest warriors across the myriad realms would surely be stunned and astonished.

As Zhou Zhou thought this, a soft, amused smile flickered across his mind.

At that moment, the Supreme Will itself displayed a look of astonishment and envy.

"Your Unique Supreme Lord talent—its effects are truly extraordinary."

"Master Supreme Will, haven't you also cultivated the Supreme Holy Body? If you desire, why not cultivate it yourself?"

Zhou Zhou asked in surprise.

The Supreme Holy Body itself inherently possesses the ability to create Lords.

It is entirely normal for the Supreme Will to express astonishment at its innate talents—what could possibly make it feel envious?

Don't you also have it?

"Did I say I've cultivated the Supreme Holy Body?"

The Supreme Will countered.

"Have you not cultivated the Supreme Holy Body?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhou stood stunned for a long moment before finally coming to his senses, his face filled with shock.

"Yes, I never cultivated the Supreme Holy Body at all."

The Supreme Will stared at Zhou Zhou with bewilderment. "Before I received the inheritance of Supreme Immortality, I had already firmly established my path of will—there was no way I could change it."

"The supreme and immortal inheritance— I merely used it as a reference. I've only practiced the aspects that suit me. As for the fundamental essence of willful paths, I've never even glanced at it."

"How do you think I'm practicing the Supreme Holy Body?"

"I assumed, since you gave me the inheritance of the Supreme Holy Body, that you yourself must be cultivating it."

Zhou Zhou said dryly.

"I haven't."

The Supreme Will shook his head. "My path is named 'Water,' and I follow the way of water—benefiting all things without contention."

"I may bestow lordly talents upon others, but my own lordly talent is only 'Water.'"

"And you are exactly the opposite of me."

"From the very beginning, your path has been one of embracing countless lordly talents."

"I noticed your path bears a striking resemblance to the Supreme Immortal Path, so I entrusted you with its fundamental inheritance—the Supreme Holy Body."

"In truth, I established the position of Supreme Lord not only to find an heir who could manage the vast cosmos after I am gone, but also to secure a successor for the Supreme Immortality."

"So you are the reserve candidates for Supreme Lord."

"Supreme Immortality...?"

Zhou Zhou asked cautiously.

"You're right,"

The Supreme Will seemed to sense the thoughts within Zhou Zhou's mind, and smiled, "That being is an Eternal Immortal, bearing the title of 'Supreme.' I once studied under Him before He attained Immortality, though He refused to take me as a disciple."

"When He was about to ascend to Eternal Immortality, He entrusted me with the legacy of Supreme Immortality—allowing me to use it freely or pass it on to others—after which He ascended and departed our world."

"Given your qualifications, how could He have refused to take you as a disciple?"

Zhou Zhou was stunned.

"He said... I have a high probability of eventually becoming equal to Him, so He chose not to take me as a disciple."

"I am also extremely confident about the path ahead of me. Even though I possess the inheritance of the Ever-Immortal Realm, I have merely used it as a reference—never actually copied it verbatim."

The Supreme Will spoke.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhou was deeply astonished.

Now it made sense why the Supreme Will had so casually entrusted this Supreme Divine Body to him—their path, too, led directly to the pinnacle of the Ever-Immortal Realm.

"Imperial Master of the People, continue to refine yourself. Perhaps one day, you too may join me in the world of Ever-Immortal Realm masters."

The Supreme Will smiled.

Then, his form gradually faded away.

At that moment,

the newly ascended Primordial Gods, Supreme Gods, and those fifteen new Immortal Will Realm masters, finally dared to fly toward him after seeing the Supreme Will depart.

They gathered around him, each according to their strength.

"Your servants bow before the Emperor!"

Fifteen newly ascended Supreme Will Immortals collectively bowed respectfully to Zhou Zhou.

"Congratulations on your promotion to the Supreme Will Immortal realm."

Zhou Zhou nodded with a smile.

"From this day forward, eleven of you shall serve as Supreme Will Immortals of the Imperial Sun State. As for your benefits, they shall be equal to those granted to previous Supreme Will Immortals—there will be no shortcoming in your treatment."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Seven Supreme Will Immortals bowed respectfully.

"As for the remaining four newly promoted Supreme Will Immortals who have been sent here,"

Zhou Zhou nodded toward the eleven new Supreme Will Immortals standing beside him, then turned his gaze to the other four Supreme Will Immortals, "Do you wish to continue your cultivation and training here under my rule, or would you prefer to return to your respective domains?"

The four Supreme Will Immortals looked hesitant.

Normally, their mission here was to transcend the Supreme Will Realm.

Now that the mission is complete, it's time for them to return and report back.

Yet, as the moment approaches, they find themselves reluctant to leave.

This is certainly not due to Zhou Zhou's Supreme Ruler-tier ability—The Sole Sovereign—whose influence over them has been deliberately suppressed since their very first joining.

Their unwillingness to depart stems from a simple, undeniable truth: the environment of the Praja Sun Kingdom is simply too exquisite.

Too exquisite, in fact, that they cannot bear to leave.

A deep, unshakable intuition pulses within them.

If they remain in the Praja Sun Kingdom, serving this Celestial Sovereign, they are certain they will ascend to even higher realms—perhaps one day, glimpse the legendary transcendence beyond will.

This is not an exaggeration at all.

Every newly awakened Sovereign of Supreme Will present can feel it, clearly and unmistakably.

But the orders from above could not be defied…

At that moment,

The Sun Emperor, the Moon Emperor, the Heavenly Punishment God, and the Spring-Autumn Lawmaster suddenly manifested before them, their faces clouded with gravity.

"Just received word," said the Heavenly Punishment God, his expression grave. "The Wandering Clan has suddenly dispatched a large force to the Dusk Battlefield."

"Among them, there are no less than one hundred and one beings at the Supreme Will Realm, and over ten at the Will Transcendence Realm!"

"They seem to be preparing for a full-scale assault on our Supreme Great Cosmos."

"At present, all our Supreme Great Cosmos' combat-ready beings at the Supreme Will Realm have already been sent to the Dusk Battlefield."

"The Red Sovereign has also arrived with twenty Supreme Will Realm beings from the Red Cosmos, joining together to resist the invasion by the Wandering Clan."

Having said that.

The Heavenly Punishment God King turned his gaze toward the four newly ascended paragons of the Paramount Will Realm, his voice ringing with a solemn gravity:

"You four."

"I know you have only just crossed the threshold into the Paramount Will Realm, and that you have grown fond of the cultivation environment here within the Divine Kingdom of the Radiant Sun."

"Yet we find ourselves at the absolute nadir of the Supreme Universe, a time of unprecedented peril. Are you willing to stand with us, to fight for our very survival?"

"I give you a choice."

"Those who wish to come, may come."

"Those who wish to stay, may remain."

"We are willing!" four voices echoed as one.

The four new sovereigns of the Paramount Will Realm did not hesitate, their replies ringing out in deep, resolute unison.
