Chapter 1671: Everyone Envies! Recognizing the Supreme Continent as Master!

Chapter 1671: Everyone's Envy! Acknowledging the Supreme Continent!

The words spoken by the Heavenly Punishment God instantly shattered every lingering thought in the minds of these four newly ascended beings of Supreme Will.

Now, all they possessed was one unshakable resolve: to fight for the Supreme Cosmic Realm!

Zhou Zhou momentarily felt bewildered, but quickly regained his composure and said, "I also want to go!"

"No!"

The Heavenly Punishment God firmly rejected it. "The Supreme Will has just issued orders to us—no participation from you in this great invasion by the Deluded Clan."

"You may join, but only after completing the trials on the Eternal Continent and becoming a Second Reserve Commander of the Supreme Sovereign."

"Only then will you be permitted to enter the Dusk Battlefield and take part in this war."

"In the meantime, you must grow according to your own pace."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhou furrowed his brow.

Now that the battlefield at dusk is in such peril, does the Supreme Will truly insist I complete the trials of the Eternally Ancient Continent first?

"Third brother."

The Heavenly Punishment God-King sensed the reluctance in Zhou Zhou's heart and smiled, gently advising, "The Supreme Will has spoken, and there must be a reason. In matters of this nature, the Supreme Will will never be wrong."

"And don't let the overwhelming force of the Hollow Race—so numerous, so vast—make you believe we are helpless against them."

"While their numbers of Supreme Will Beings and Will-Transcendent Masters far surpass ours, I can confidently assure you, brother,"

"those Supreme Will Beings and Will-Transcendent Masters are still within our capabilities to counter."

"Don't forget,"

"our entire Supreme Cosmos, even within the boundless Ultimate Void Cosmos, ranks among the top five great cosmoses."

"Moreover, the Crimson Sovereign will come to aid us as well. The situation is not as dire as you imagine."

"You first clear the Eternally Ancient Continent. Then, come to assist us when the time comes."

"The current situation on the battlefield as dusk falls—we can still handle it. But once the faction of Illusions realizes our strength is sufficient to counter them, who knows? They might send even more powerful beings, warriors of Supreme Will and those who have transcended will, to attack us."

"At that point, we might truly be unable to withstand the onslaught."

"That would be when you are truly needed."

"Even if you don't want to come, we'll force you to come."

The Heavenly Punishment God laughed wildly at the end of his words.

"Hold on, don't make it sound like my ancient continent is going to fall so easily!"

The Spring-Autumn Law Master growled irritably from the side.

Then He turned to Zhou Zhou, "Third Brother, our elder is right. We shouldn't rush things. Let our elder and second brother, the Sun Emperor and the Moon Emperor, stand at the forefront with us. We four will bear the brunt—when we can't hold on anymore, then you come."

"The two princes are absolutely correct," said the Moon Emperor softly. "Third Prince, I estimate that the battle will only grow fiercer as it progresses. You have no need to rush here. This conflict will last for a long time and won't end in the near future. Eventually, the day will come when you step in."

“…Alright.”

Zhou Zhou took a deep breath and nodded.

So many had advised him not to go—then there was no need to disregard their wishes.

Moreover, he had only just entered the realm of Supreme Will, and had not yet fully mastered its full power. He could always plan his journey to the Dusk Battlefield once he had complete control over the Supreme Will.

Seeing that Zhou Zhou truly obeyed their words, the Heavenly Punishment God Kings sighed in relief.

They had genuinely feared that this third prince might, in a moment of impulsive arrogance, disregard their warnings and lead his troops straight into the Dusk Battlefield.

Geniuses are always prone to arrogance and unilateral decisions.

They were too well acquainted with the behavioral patterns of such prodigies.

Fortunately, Zhou Zhou was not one of them. Though he had a faint desire to go, he ultimately heeded their advice.

At that very moment…

Zhou Zhou spoke again.

"Though I cannot reach the battlefield at dusk, I can still fight alongside you all in another way."

Everyone was stunned.

What way?

Then they saw Zhou Zhou pull out a world ring...

And suddenly, they understood.

Material support!

"Third brother, as long as you have this heart, that's all that matters."

Tiancheng God King smiled.

"Inside, besides basic supplies suitable for those below the Supreme Will Realm, there are one hundred thousand healing and resurrection items at the level of the Supreme Will Realm."

"There are also 1,000 pieces of Will Holy Instruments."

"It should boost our supreme cosmic faction's Will of the Supreme Realm strength by roughly seven to eight times."

The Heavenly Punishment God, the Spring-Autumn Law Master, the Sun Emperor, and the Lunar Emperor all went utterly stunned.

Ten thousand pieces of Supreme Realm healing and resurrection artifacts!?

One thousand pieces of Will Holy Instruments?!

The former alone would greatly enhance their error-tolerance on the Dusk Battlefield, allowing them to face the Delusion Race with unprecedented courage.

As for the latter—1,000 Will Holy Instruments—each of their Supreme Realm warriors would now receive a full set.

There would still be plenty left over.

One full set per warrior!

Seriously? This is absolutely beyond anything imaginable!

Even the most powerful cosmic force in the ultimate void cosmos might not be able to furnish a complete set of will sanctums for every master of the Supreme Will Realm?

The Tian Chen God King momentarily failed to react.

Chunqiu Master, at this moment, felt deeply ashamed.

For he realized that even if he pulled out every single will sanctum from his Chunqiu Treasury, it would still be insufficient to provide a full set for over fifty Supreme Will Realm masters in the highest cosmos.

Let alone a thousand such sanctums.

Had he, previously, actually displayed his Chunqiu Treasury to his own younger brother?

Thanks to a few transcendent sanctums serving as a base, he had barely managed to avoid total disgrace.

Now, recalling it, his face burned with shame.

At that moment,

Sun Emperor Sovereign, seizing the opportunity before other powerful beings could react, swiftly snatched the world ring from Zhou Zhou’s hand.

When His willpower surged into it, and truly witnessed the vast treasure—ten thousand supreme will artifacts and one thousand sacred will relics—His eyes instantly turned crimson, his breath growing rapid and shallow.

Though He possessed willpower transcending the realm of combat strength, He was still fundamentally a supreme willmaster.

Such a scene had never been witnessed before!

Others, seeing this, quickly realized and likewise poured their willpower into the world ring, displaying reactions comparable to the Sun Emperor's.

After a long silence,

Zhou Zhou, seeing everyone remain silent, cautiously asked:

"Is that enough?"

"Not enough—I still have more."

Blow!

A true, devastating blow!

"Enough. Enough."

The Heavenly Punishment God King nodded with a bitter sigh.

The Spring and Autumn Master, the Sun Emperor, and the Moon Emperor also silently nodded in agreement.

Now they finally understood why the People's Emperor had the confidence to claim that resources used to cultivate transcendent will beyond the realm of strength could be applied to nurture masters of supreme will.

It was true.

They weren't just blessed with excellent cultivation environments.

They actually possessed real resources.

With both factors working in tandem, it was no wonder that supreme will masters emerged every day!

"Third Brother,"

The Heavenly Punishment God King took a deep breath and spoke seriously, "With your support, even if the Delusional Clan sends out one time as many supreme will and transcendent will masters, we will still be able to hold on."

"Rest assured, you may grow in accordance with your own path."

"We can absolutely hold the line on our end."

"That is well."

Zhou Zhou nodded upon hearing this, then added, "If the pressure mounts further, just let me know; I still possess a greater abundance of Will Sacred Artifacts and Supreme Will Realm treasures."

"If all else fails, we can expend some treasures to recruit a few powerhouses from the Ultimate Void Grand Universe."

"We need only ensure they do not leak the secret of the illusory clan's invasion."

"If it truly comes to naught, I still have Transcendence Sacred Artifacts here."

"You all must also possess your own methods to wield Transcendence Sacred Artifacts beyond your current cultivation realms, do you not?"

"For instance, Second Brother, you are capable of wielding a fishing rod at the level of a Transcendence Sacred Artifact far beyond your realm."

"With Transcendence Sacred Artifacts at hand, we should be able to further bolster our strength upon the Twilight Battlefield."

Zhou Zhou said.

"It's unnecessary."

Chunqiu Fa Zhu said dryly, "Third brother, I can wield a transcendental artifact only because my transcendental artifact is merely a fishing rod—a non-combat artifact. If it were a genuine combat-type transcendental artifact, my willpower would not be able to sustain it for long."

"I'm the same," replied Tiancheng Shen Wang. "Though I can transcend levels to use transcendental artifacts, I cannot maintain such use for extended periods. In actual combat, I still prefer to rely on upper-tier willpower artifacts."

Taiyang Di Zun and Taiyin Di Zun hesitated, wanting to speak, yet holding back.

They did possess a method to use transcendental artifacts for long durations—but to mention it now, when both Tiancheng Shen Wang and Chunqiu Fa Zhu had declined, might be inappropriate.

After a moment's thought, they decided to remain silent.

After all, the current battlefield situation wasn't urgent enough to require borrowing transcendental artifacts.

And they themselves possessed a few transcendent artifacts, though in very limited numbers.

When the moment truly came to borrow such artifacts, they could always borrow them then.

"Very well."

Zhou Zhou had originally intended to lend his own unused transcendent artifacts to them.

But since they had all stated so clearly, he would hold off on lending them for now.

True enough.

Although everyone among them had the ability to use transcendent artifacts beyond their current level, not every Supreme Will cultivator possessed a technique like "King," which could provide vast quantities of willpower, allowing them to use transcendent artifacts almost without restriction.

After chatting a bit longer, they departed with the four newly ascended Supreme Will cultivators.

On Zhou Zhou's side, after their departure, he welcomed the new cultivators joining his own circle.

First, he bestowed upon each of the remaining eleven newly ascended Supreme Will cultivators their own set of Will Artifacts.

Then, it distributed a set of supreme artifacts and master artifacts, perfectly tailored to each newly ascended Supreme God and Master God, and sent them back to their respective legions.

Next, Zhou Zhou began calculating the total strength of his main combat legions.

His original forces had been: 1,567 yao, 8361 jing, 2,873 zhao, 2,876 yi, 1,293 wan, 2,811 soldiers; 6231 zhao, 9547 yi, 1157 wan, 2,221 divine beings; 9862 yi, 545 wan, 4,347 true gods; 2430 wan, 9177 master gods; 4,211 supreme gods; 1,617 beings at the near-ultimate will level; and 22 beings at the ultimate will level!

Adding today’s newly recruited and promoted forces—6,000 yao of fresh troops, 100 jing of heavenly soldiers, 13,710,2381 newly promoted master gods, 711 newly ascended supreme gods, and 11 ultimate will-level beings—the total strength of his forces now stood at: 7,567 yao, 8,461 jing, 2,873 zhao, 2,876 yi, 1,293 wan, 2,811 soldiers; 6231 zhao, 9547 yi, 1157 wan, 2,221 divine beings; 9862 yi, 545 wan, 4,347 true gods; 38,020,1588 master gods; 4,922 supreme gods; 1,617 beings at the near-ultimate will level; and 33 beings at the ultimate will level!

After reviewing the figures, Zhou Zhou nodded in satisfaction.

This enhancement primarily stemmed from the significant increase in ordinary troops and the number of beings at the ultimate will level.

The ordinary forces had surged from over 1,000 yao to over 7,000 yao—six times the previous total!

The number of ultimate will-level beings also rose from 22 to 33—an increase of one-third!

Thus, it was clear that—

Now, once He awakens as a King, He will instantly replicate the power of all thirty-three transcendent will beings and amplify it by a direct factor of five thousand times.

At that moment,

He will be able to directly channel the combined strength of 165,000 transcendent will beings—on top of his own power.

What an unimaginable figure!

Consider that the total number of transcendent will beings in the Supreme and Crimson Universes combined barely exceeds one hundred.

With just one single "King," He would be capable of annihilating countless times the combined strength of all such beings across both universes.

Of course,

this comparison excludes beings like the Heavenly Punishment God King, whose will has transcended the limits of ordinary strength.

Yet even without such exceptions,

the scale remains terrifying.

At this moment, Zhou Zhou even considered directly challenging the Spring Law Master, aiming to advance to the second reserve rank of High Lord.

But after a moment's thought, he hesitated.

In the quiet depths of his being, he sensed something—his current strength might give him a chance against the Spring Law Master, but that chance was far from certain.

He was strong.

Could the Spring Law Master, who held dominion over the Chaotic Pool of Ten Thousand Worlds, possibly be weaker than him?

No, not weaker.

"Perhaps it's better to let Zhou Zhan refine himself further on the Eternal Continent before challenging the Spring Law Master."

Zhou Zhou exhaled slowly, thinking it over.

He didn't rush.

As always, the same words echoed in his mind.

Proceed slowly, and it will be well.

Time stands on His side.

Each day, He grows stronger.

Then He returns to the Palace of Cyclic Rebirth, to feel the feedback the Supreme Continent offers him.

After defeating the Flame Sovereign, the Supreme Continent has become entirely His domain—indeed, His sanctuary!

Just as the primordial Void Battlefield was for the Supreme Antagonist, the Celestial River of Time for the Spring and Autumn Sovereign, the Dusk Battlefield for the Heaven-Enforcing God-King—

Now, the Supreme Continent has become the exclusive domain of Zhou Zhou, the Third Reserve Sovereign of the Supreme Sovereigns.

The Supreme Will once declared that each exclusive domain of the Reserve Sovereigns holds unique benefits for the Reserve Sovereigns themselves.

Today, He would thoroughly explore what benefits the Supreme Continent offers him.

He extended His Willpower, seeking to enfold the entire Supreme Continent within its embrace.

But soon, he realized—he couldn't do it.

The one who had just entered the Supreme Will Realm had not made a significant leap in willpower; it was nearly impossible to envelop the entire Supreme Continent with his own will.

Yet this did not daunt Zhou Zhou at all.

He simply activated the King, allowing the willpower of 165,000 Supreme Will Realm beings to surge and envelop him.

In an instant,

Zhou Zhou felt the immense pressure upon his will vanish completely. With a single thought, he now fully contained the willpower of the entire Supreme Continent.

Then, he guided his willpower deeper, gradually penetrating inward—until he reached the deepest, most central core of the continent.

There,

a pure white sphere, wrapped in boundless laws and boundless willpower, stood silently, untouched by time, existing for countless eons.

Zhou Zhou took a deep breath, and vast streams of willpower poured into it, beginning the process of claiming it as his own.
