Chapter 1674: Abandoned Child of Chaos Will!

Chapter 1674: The Offspring of Chaotic Will!

After assimilating the fallen Zhou Zhou, Zhou Zhou could clearly sense a subtle yet tangible enhancement in his own willpower.

Though the increase was minimal, the thought of the other being merely an ordinary person left him utterly astonished.

"The willpower gained from assimilating the core of an alternate timeline is tied to the strength of the target, yet it is not entirely dependent on that factor—other influences are at play," Zhou Zhou mused internally.

Then, after bidding farewell to the elated fallen Zhou Zhou, he returned to the inner sanctum of the Cycle Holy Palace.

As for the system the fallen Zhou Zhou had obtained, Zhou Zhou named it the "Sunshine System."

He had simply employed the principles of law to create a supreme god-level intelligent being, then loaded it with a series of resources tracing the journey from ordinary mortal to supreme god, and thus, built the system in a matter of moments.

To Zhou Zhou, constructing such a system required only a single thought, and the resources consumed were negligible.

Therefore, he paid it no heed and continued his meditation on the "Root of the Heart."

And as Zhou Zhou's true self continuously strengthened his willpower,

on the other side,

the Chaotic Sea.

At this moment, Zhou Wu had arrived with Tanatos, Nasarioc, and ten thousand divine beings of master-class and above, entering the Chaotic Sea.

There, they discovered that today’s presence in the Chaotic Sea was not only the Chaotic Time-Space God-Monsters they were familiar with—but also a figure they had never seen before.

A being clad in the robe of a Chaotic Emperor, crowned with a Chaotic Diadem, surrounded by countless swirling streams of chaotic energy resembling serpents in motion.

A thousand laws of existence shimmered around him, radiating like a divine chaos demon ruling the world.

Upon seeing Zhou Wu and sensing the bloodline emanating from him—of the same lineage as himself, yet more exalted and superior—this being instantly knelt before him.

"Emperor of Chaotic God-Monsters—Ji Yuan, I bow to the Great Emperor of the People, Master Zhou!"

"Who... are you?"

Zhou Wu sensed the familiar aura emanating from the other, and the way the temporal-spatial chaos deities regarded him, and his brow arched slightly. "You—the Chaos Deity Emperor who created the realm of Chaos Deities, who for countless ages sheltered the Chaos Deities under the watchful eyes of the Supreme Will and the Crimson Sovereign?"

"Modestly so," replied the Chaos Deity Emperor, bowing his head. "To protect the race of Chaos Deities has been my destiny since I first came into being within my very body and will."

"I have no special thoughts—only that I must do this."

Looking at the Chaos Deity Emperor, Zhou Wu suddenly said:

"Stop moving!"

The Chaos Deity Emperor was startled, yet remained still, kneeling in place without a tremor.

As Zhou Wu stared at him, he suddenly raised a hand and pointed at the figure.

A tremendous force of will descended instantly.

Upon sensing this force, the Chaos Deity Emperor's heart instantly froze with terror.

As fellow masters of the Supreme Will Realm, He naturally sensed the terrifying weight of that willful pressure.

Yet this Celestial Emperor, Lord of the People, hadn't just ascended to the Supreme Will Realm today, had he?

Now, it seemed, even without employing that miraculous will-enhancing secret technique, the other's willpower was profoundly deep—like that of a Supreme Will Realm master who had trained for countless years.

He did not know.

Zhou Zhou’s willpower cultivation was in real-time synchronization with every one of His own manifestations.

That strange fruit could allow a prodigy like the Heavenly Punishment God King to leap directly from the mid-level to the upper tier of the Supreme Will Realm—its willpower was naturally beyond comprehension.

Though Zhou Zhou had only spent a brief time, using the "Root of the Mind" to absorb only a portion of that willpower, even that small amount equaled nearly a hundred thousand years of arduous cultivation for a typical new recruit to the Supreme Will Realm.

Precisely because of this.

He felt that Zhou Wu did not seem like someone who had just ascended—rather, he appeared more like a master of the Supreme Will Realm who had trained for eons.

And why, oh why, did this Lord of the People unleash such terrifying pressure upon me the moment he saw me?

What was he going to do?

The Chaos God Demon Emperor felt a surge of terror and unease within his heart.

At that very moment,

Zhou Wu gently flicked his right hand, and there, a shimmering dot of chaotic light detached itself from within the Chaos God Demon Emperor’s body, drifting slowly and settling into Zhou Zhou’s hand.

After that dot had left his body, the Chaos God Demon Emperor suddenly felt a profound lightness, as if the heavy burden that had long oppressed his spirit had vanished entirely.

"This...?"

The Chaos God Demon Emperor was stunned.

He had no idea what had transpired within himself.

How could it be that merely with the prince’s finger flicking, such a sudden release of tension had occurred?

What exactly was this dot of chaotic light?

His eyes locked onto the swirling chaos fragment floating in Zhou Zhou's hand, filled with curiosity, yet also with caution and disbelief.

How could he not know there was something like this within himself?

Hadn't the Celestial Sovereign of the People intervened today? Otherwise, would he have carried this secret within him for life, completely unaware?

The thought alone sent a shiver of terror through him.

At that moment, Zhou Wu was also gazing at the fragment of chaotic hue in his hand.

He stroked his chin, looking at it, and suddenly chuckled, "Should I call you the remnant of the Chaos Will? Or should I address you as the very essence of the Chaos Will itself?"

The gods and supreme wills surrounding them instantly felt their hearts plunge into dread.

Could this fragment truly be connected to the legendary Chaos Will?

That being—father of both the Supreme Will and the Crimson Sovereign!

Even when the Supreme Will and the Crimson Sovereign united, they could not stand against him.

Has it really transformed into this chaotic hue of a glowing dot?

Yet in response to Zhou Zhou's inquiry, the chaotic hue glowing dot remained utterly still, as if merely an ordinary, unremarkable dot of chaotic light.

Zhou Wu scoffed.

Such a guy—quite the actor.

"If you don't speak up, I'll take you before the Supreme Will."

"By the way, I'd also like to see just what you truly are."

After speaking, Zhou Wu paused for several seconds, and then a faint, melancholic sigh emerged from within the chaotic glowing dot.

"You at least carry my created Chaotic Heart Body and have received my complete lineage."

"With such vast karmic consequences, shouldn't you be safe from harming me?"

"You're absolutely right."

Zhou Wu spoke calmly, "But now, are you truly the original essence of the Chaotic Will?"

"I wouldn't believe that even the Supreme Will and the Red Master, two beings I hold in the highest regard, couldn't completely extinguish you."

"You've seen through it."

The chaotic glow sighed, "Indeed, the original essence has perished entirely at the hands of the Supreme Will and the Red Master—my two dearest daughters."

"Currently, I am merely a remnant of flesh, born from the lingering essence of that flesh."

"May I beg you, grant me a reprieve?"

Though I am the residual will born from the Chaotic Will, for all these years I have never dared to surface and disrupt the rule of the Supreme Will and the Red Master. I have merely survived, clinging to life within the realm of gods and demons, using the body of this Chaotic God-Monster.

It was only because the several Chaotic God-Monsters under your command brought so much chaos and chaos relics that you could freely take what you wished—only then did this creature decide to emerge from the realm of gods and demons to meet you."

"And thus, I was forced into exposure before you."

The chaotic glow spoke with weary resignation.

He merely wanted to survive, properly and simply—how could it be so difficult?

"I can't make that decision."

"Ask the Supreme Will instead."

Zhou Wu spoke it calmly.

The Chaos Will involved matters between the Supreme Will and the Red Lord from old days.

Zhou Zhou wasn't stupid.

How could he possibly step into such a matter that wasn't his own responsibility?

And upon hearing Zhou Wu's words, the Chaos Will's face immediately flashed with panic.

"Don't tell the Supreme Will."

"Please, don't tell the Supreme Will."

He pleaded,

"What is there to fear in the Supreme Will?"

Zhou Wu scoffed, "Are you hiding some secret from me?"

"It is not that,"

the Chaotic Will whispered in fear, "I am the residual will born from the fragmented flesh of the Chaotic Will. I personally witnessed the battle between the Three Willpower Masters who transcended the realm of supreme strength."

"To be utterly honest, that battle—within the ultimate void cosmos—was without doubt the pinnacle of all conflicts ever known."

"The Chaotic Will perished in a most horrific manner."

"Even now, when I recall that battle, my divine body instinctively trembles."

"If I were to see the Supreme Will now, I would surely be terrified to death."

Zhou Wu: "... "

This damn thing is still a cowardly will.

"You're so timid—how did you manage to forge a will from the fragmented flesh of the chaotic consciousness?"

Zhou Wu said, dumbfounded.

"I don't know. It just suddenly coalesced."

The Chaotic Will replied.

Zhou Wu shook his head, deciding not to press further.

"Take heart," he soothed. "This age is no longer the one you came from."

"Over the years, the Supreme Will probably no longer cares about what happened back then."

"And think about it—"

"If the Supreme Will truly intended to act against you, could you have survived this long?"

"You really think your tiny realm of gods and demons, the one you created, could withstand the scrutiny and assault of the Supreme Will's presence?"

Zhou Wu ended with a rhetorical question directed at his opponent.

The Chaotic Will fell silent instantly.

It seemed... there was indeed a certain truth to it.

The Supreme Will had once been capable of killing the Chaotic Will outright.

A will born from the mere remnants of its flesh and blood—no more than a lower-tier Supreme Will—could not possibly have created a realm of gods and demons capable of evading such detection and attack.

In other words,

the Supreme Will may have known its own location and that of its divine realm from the very beginning—only choosing not to act upon it.

Once this realization settled in, the Chaotic Will felt a sudden easing of tension.

"Then shall I invite the Supreme Will here?"

Zhou Wu looked at Him this way and asked.

"Please do."

The Chaotic Will remained silent for several seconds before speaking.

Zhou Zhou nodded.

Then, with reverence, He addressed the void:

"Your servant, the Third Reserve Commander of the Supreme Sovereign, respectfully invites the Supreme Will to descend."

"Your servant has urgent matters to report to the Supreme Will."

The chaotic glow-point stared nervously around it, biting its teeth inward, hesitating several times before finally suppressing the urge to flee.

At that moment.

A voice echoed within the space where Zhou Wu and the others stood.

"Emperor of the Common People, handle it yourself."

The supreme will spoke softly, then fell silent—leaving Zhou Zhou and the others in stunned silence.

Zhou Wu couldn't help but smile, turning his gaze toward the chaotic, hueless glow before him.

"It seems the supreme will has not even considered you at all."

"Not even willing to make an appearance."

Upon hearing this, the chaotic will let out a sigh of relief and chuckled:

"Being ignored by the supreme will is exactly what I like."

"I love that the supreme will doesn't take a single thing like me seriously."

Zhou Wu stared in silence.

How could this creature not find it shameful, but instead take pride in it?

Yet, this truly aligned with the nature of his survival.

"Shall I decide how to treat you?"

Zhou Wu suddenly asked.

At the sound of these words, the chaotic hue of light grew tense.

Taking a deep breath, it spoke to Zhou Wu: "As long as you do not destroy me, I am willing to accept any punishment you wish."

"Such a strong desire to survive."

"Then...?"

Zhou Wu deliberately stretched out his tone, making the chaotic hue of light even more agitated. He smiled gently and said, "Alright, no need to scare you anymore."

"As long as you join my Solar Divine Realm and become one of my generals, you shall fully devote yourself to fighting across the myriad realms and even the ultimate void cosmos."

"Really that simple?"

The chaotic hue light point asked incredulously.

"Otherwise what?"

Zhou Wu spoke calmly. "But I won't mind telling you—once you join my Solar Divine Realm, you will never betray me again. You will serve me solely and unconditionally."

Upon hearing this, the chaotic hue light point quickly grasped the meaning.

The Solar Divine Realm of this Celestial Sovereign Emperor must possess some unique method capable of ensuring that no being joining it would ever turn against him.

Even such a method could bind someone of his true Supreme Will level, a being of absolute power.

Once the chaotic hue light point understood this, a mix of fear and envy stirred within him.

With such a method at his disposal, it seemed this Celestial Sovereign Emperor not only wielded immense strength, but also commanded a loyal and devoted following.

"Would you be willing?"

Zhou Wu asked.

After a long silence, the chaotic hue light point replied firmly:

"I am willing."

"Compared to freedom, I still believe life is more precious."

"Don't be so pessimistic,"

Zhou Wu smiled. "Although, once you join my Solar Divine Realm, you will remain absolutely loyal to me."

"But that doesn't mean I will restrict your freedom."

"In fact, you may choose not to join my armies under my command at all. Once you become part of my Solar Divine Realm, you may do whatever you wish—as long as you do not commit heinous or immoral acts, I will never interfere."

After a few seconds of contemplation, the chaotic hue light point chuckled: "Understood. So, the Emperor does not truly need me as a subordinate, but merely wishes to eliminate a potential threat."

"Intelligent."

Zhou Wu smiled.

"Understood, Your Majesty."

The chaotic glow point replied.

The moment the words had faded,

He sensed a nation had quietly been woven into his very essence.

At the same time, he felt a multitude of buffs surging through his being.

Some of these buffs—even for a descendant bearing the full memory of the Chaotic Will—were utterly astonishing.

"What exactly is going on with the Sun God Realm?"

"Simply by being incorporated, I'm already receiving such overwhelming benefits?"

The residual will of Chaos was utterly stunned.

With so many buffs in play, and drawing upon the full memory and insight of the Chaotic Will, He even had the certainty of restoring himself to the level of transcendent will within a short time!

Thinking this way,

He suddenly felt a deep sense of gratitude toward Zhou Wu.
