Chapter 1675: Wherever He Passes, None Refuse to Surrender!

Chapter 1675: Everywhere They Go, They Fall to Submission!

By the side.

The Chaos God-Monarch Emperor felt bewildered.

How had things suddenly taken this turn?

Originally, He had merely noticed that the Chaos God-Monsters within the God-Monster Realm were suddenly weakening—no one knew what had caused this upheaval. Out of curiosity, He had followed the Chaos God-Monsters through time and space, only to stumble upon the revelation that they were somehow connected to the famed Celestial Sovereign Emperor from the outside world.

But what truly snapped His composure was this:

The Celestial Sovereign Emperor sought to claim the life essence of the Chaos God-Monsters—their very Chaos God Treasures. And yet, the Chaos God-Monsters under His command, for that meager master artifact, were willing to sacrifice their own life essence entirely.

At first, the Chaos God-Monarch Emperor couldn’t comprehend why his subordinates would endure the debuffs of weakness and diminished power, only to forcibly enter a deal with the Celestial Sovereign Emperor.

But after learning the price offered by Zhou Zhou… He found himself thinking, "Damn it, I'd trade too!"

A mere Chaos God Treasure capable of repeated coalescence—was being exchanged for four master artifacts of equal rank?

Did he possess so many primary artifacts that there was no place for them to go?

How could such a preposterous deal have been conceived?

Thus.

To understand the reason behind this, the Chaotic God-Mage Emperor dared to step forward boldly and make direct contact with the legendary Emperor of the People.

At first, everything seemed fine.

But when Zhou Wu pulled out that shimmering point of chaotic light from his body, everything went terribly wrong.

What?!

That point of light—wasn't it the lingering flesh and blood consciousness of the Chaotic Will?

What?!

The residual flesh and blood consciousness of the Chaotic Will had been defeated by the Emperor of the People, even begging for mercy, yet the Emperor of the People not only refused to accept the plea, but demanded the Supreme Will to intervene?

What?!

The Supreme Will chose not to intervene, deciding instead to fully entrust this matter to Zhou Wu, the Emperor of the Common People?

What?!

The remnant consciousness of Chaos has surrendered??

And it's even looking at me with gratitude?

Faced with this cascade of events, the Chaos God-Monster Emperor has no idea what to do or how to react.

At this moment,

Zhou Wu's gaze falls upon Him. He instinctively avoids eye contact, his head dropping down without will.

"What should we do with Him?"

"This Chaos God-Monster Emperor shows great potential—he possesses the stature of a transcendent master."

A chaotic hue light point spoke, "Under my guidance, the sovereign may instruct Him. With my mentorship, combined with the sovereign's innate lordly talent and other augmentations, the other party will have at least an eight in ten chance of ascending to the realm of transcendent will."

Zhou Wu nodded.

His eyes were sharp—he had immediately discerned the potential within the other for transcendent will.

With proper cultivation, he might one day become one of his most trusted generals.

Seeing this, the chaotic hue light point instantly understood that his sovereign harbored intentions of recruitment and eagerly offered, "Sovereign, let me handle this."

"I shall persuade Him. Though He is proud, He will soon agree."

"Ha... ha..."

Zhou Wu smiled, casually brushing his fingers against the hilt of his lower-tier transcendent will holy sword at his waist. "No matter. If He lacks sense, I'll simply send Him on his way."

Chaotic hue light point: "...?"

What could he possibly say?

There was only one thing left to do—pretend he hadn’t heard, and immediately rush to persuade Jie Yuan.

A moment later.

Jie Yuan approached, trailing behind the chaotic glow, his face a mixture of nervousness, tension, and a flicker of eager anticipation.

"Your Majesty, I willingly offer the entire realm of divine and demonic beings to join your service."

The Chaotic Divine-Demigod Emperor spoke with deep reverence and trembling hesitation.

"Welcome to the Realm of Pride and the Sun."

"I shall not fail you, nor any of the Chaotic Divine-Demigods."

Zhou Wu showed no harshness, simply smiling and accepting the offer without hesitation.

As the words fell like a whisper into stillness,

the Chaotic Divine-Demigod Emperor and all the Chaotic Divine-Demigods across the realm instantly felt the same sensation as the chaotic glow point had.

Their faces betrayed disbelief, which then swiftly transformed into astonishment.

"I finally understand why so many top-tier beings across the myriad realms yearn to join the Prajaya Divine Dominion—even if it means merely becoming a common citizen."

"The feeling of joining... it's truly wonderful."

The Chaos God-Mage Emperor exclaimed with delight.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for allowing us to join the Prajaya Divine Dominion!"

Upon regaining his composure, he immediately expressed gratitude toward Zhou Wu. Then, with solemn reverence, he bowed to the Chaotic Light Spot, saying, "Also, thank you, Master of Chaotic Will, for guiding me to join the Prajaya Divine Dominion."

"It's nothing at all,"

The Chaotic Will smiled.

He held great hope for the future of the Chaos God-Mage Emperor, for perhaps one day he might ascend to the realm of Will Transcendence. If that were to happen, combined with his own ability to restore the power of Will Transcendence, the possibilities would be endless.

At that moment, among the countless powerful beings of the Prajya Divine Realm, the two of them, united, would surely command a place of significance.

Though newcomers, their sheer strength combined would make the other powerful figures in the Prajya Divine Realm hesitate to underestimate them.

The Chaotic Will, though currently merely a consciousness born from flesh, harbored many subtle thoughts of its own.

It no longer pondered the pros and cons of joining the Prajya Divine Realm.

Instead, it began to consider how best to navigate and thrive among the realm's powerful figures.

Zhou Wu could instantly perceive what the Chaotic Will was thinking.

Yet he cared not at all.

As long as they remained loyal, did not hinder the growth of the Prajya Divine Realm or himself, and never crossed any moral boundary, their private maneuvers among the ranks were entirely acceptable.

It was merely an opportunity to sharpen the workplace survival instincts of his subordinates.

"The Emperor will need vast quantities of Chaotic Divine Treasures in the future."

"What do you suggest?"

Zhou Wu asked the Chaotic Divine Demon Emperor.

After a moment of thoughtful contemplation, the Chaotic Divine Demon Emperor bowed respectfully and said:

"Your Majesty, since now the entire Divine Demon Realm is under Your Majesty's rule,"

"You no longer need to resort to the exploitative method of killing chickens to get eggs in order to obtain Chaotic Divine Treasures."

"I have a better method."

"Please share it with me."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wu grew intrigued.

He did indeed find his previous method—killing Chaotic Divine Demons to acquire Chaotic Divine Treasures—somewhat strange.

At that time, they were not citizens of the Sun Sovereign Realm, so Zhou Wu, though he found it odd, never thought of changing it.

Now that these chaotic deities and demons had become his own subjects, he could no longer employ the same method to obtain chaotic divine treasures.

After all, killing his own subjects to acquire what the sovereign desired—without knowing the full circumstances—would make anyone believe he was a tyrant.

Those who did know the truth would likely form a poor first impression of him.

To protect his reputation, Zhou Wu decided to find an alternative way to gather chaotic divine treasures.

As a legendary sovereign known across countless realms, his reputation was of paramount importance.

To preserve his standing, even if this method would eventually reduce the income of chaotic divine treasures, Zhou Wu firmly believed it had to be done.

"Your Majesty,"

"The past years, in pursuit of greater strength, I have devised a secret technique of chaos."

The Sovereign Emperor of Chaotic Deities spoke. "This technique allows me to unite ten thousand chaotic deities and demons, uniting their energies to coalesce the primordial essence of chaos. By harnessing their power, my cultivation speed is greatly accelerated."

"I too could employ this method to generate vast quantities of primordial chaos energy, which, under the manipulation of another secret technique, could be perfectly condensed and compressed into primordial divine relics."

"These primordial divine relics are indistinguishable from ordinary ones."

"Once created, these relics would fulfill a significant portion of the Emperor's demand for primordial divine relics."

"How many primordial divine relics can your primordial chaos energy generate?"

Zhou Wu asked.

"Exactly ten thousand."

The Primordial Chaos Deity Emperor replied with solemn reverence.

Zhou Wu nodded, slightly surprised.

That number equaled the amount of primordial divine relics he currently obtained from slaughtering so many chaos demons each day.

Now, with the secret technique of the Primordial Chaos Deity Emperor, even if he chose not to hunt chaos demons in the future, he could still obtain nearly the same amount of relics—while preserving his people, the inhabitants of his chaos demon domain.

"Your creation of this chaotic secret technique is quite impressive."

Zhou Wu smiled and praised, "From now on, use this chaotic technique to provide me with the chaotic divine treasures I require."

"Rest assured."

"I will not fail you."

"All resources necessary for your cultivation, I will send to you personally."

"Also, you may dissolve the realm of gods and demons."

"Return to the Supreme Great Universe to dwell."

"Understanding the laws within small worlds is ultimately less direct and convenient than grasping them within the vast cosmos."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I will dissolve the realm of gods and demons immediately, and have all chaotic gods and demons return to your command."

The Chaos God-Mage Emperor's eyes lit up instantly, and he spoke immediately.

Mastering the laws within the God-Mage Realm was indeed quite inconvenient.

The laws of a small world, after all, were far from as refined or advanced as those of the supreme cosmic realm.

Over the years, the God-Mage Realm had significantly hindered the growth of countless Chaos God-Mage prodigies.

Had it not been for His deep fear that, the moment he stepped out of that realm, he would be jointly eliminated by the Supreme Will and the Red Master, he would have already led the entire Chaos God-Mage race away from that cursed realm long ago.

At his side, the Chaos Will silently reflected upon this.

This Lord of the People, upon just becoming their master, had already offered such immense aid to their very existence—altering their long-standing way of life.

Indeed, he was no mere successor; he was truly worthy of the Supreme Will's recognition.

How truly powerful and resolute he was.

"By the way, how many Chaos God-Mages remain with you now?"

Zhou Wu thought of this and asked.

"Report to the Emperor."

"At present, our Chaotic God-Monster clan still possesses thirteen thousand six hundred and seventy-two Chaotic God-Monsters."

"Among them, thirteen thousand six hundred and eleven are Master God-level Chaotic God-Monsters, sixty-one are Supreme God-level Chaotic God-Monsters, and only I remain at the Supreme Will level."

Zhou Wu nodded.

Not bad.

The Master God-level ones aside—

How many Supreme God-level Chaotic God-Monsters? Sixty-one!

No wonder it is the legacy of the Chaotic Will. Even after so many years of their demise, the strength of their remaining forces remains formidable.

"Let the Master Gods remain. Station them in the designated Chaotic God-Monster territory within the Chaotic Sea left to you by the Emperor. From now on, that will be your clan's domain."

"As for the Supreme Deities and you—join my main combat forces, and with me, we shall wage war against the Ultimate Void Cosmos."

Zhou Wu spoke these words.

"Yes, Majesty!"

The Chaotic God-Mage Emperor responded without hesitation.

Zhou Wu nodded.

Then they journeyed once more to the temporal ruins of Chaos' Death, retrieving another 170 units of Chaotic Divine Treasures. Only after this did they return to the Yang-Radiant Divine Realm, joining the main army in their campaign against the myriad realms across the cosmos.

Now, the Supreme Continent has been entirely conquered by Zhou Zhou. Their next objective is to subdue the entire Supreme Cosmos.

This process is remarkably straightforward.

For at present, within the entire Supreme Cosmos, the Yang-Radiant Divine Realm—where Zhou Zhou holds power—is without a doubt the Third Major Force among the myriad realms.

Excluding the Supreme Will itself.

Standing before the Sun God Realm were only the Sun God Court and the Moon God Court—two supreme powers.

Yet these two forces stood above all, detached and aloof, having never once launched a campaign to conquer the entire highest cosmos.

The Heavenly Punishment King and the Spring-Age Law Master had long since lost their status as rulers and thus lacked the authority to wage war upon the highest cosmos.

For these very reasons, Zhou Zhou became, in the history of the highest cosmos, the first ruler ever qualified to conquer the entire highest cosmos—without any other power daring to challenge him.

After all, he was the designated reserve supreme ruler.

To put it bluntly, the entire highest cosmos was originally meant for him.

Now, when the People's Emperor Sovereign begins to conquer the entire highest cosmos, it is merely a test of the Supreme Will bestowed upon the People's Emperor Sovereign.

If the Supreme Will chose not to test him, it could simply issue a single command and have the entire highest cosmos fall into the People's Emperor Sovereign’s domain.

Precisely because of these circumstances,

as Zhou Wu and his companions led the Sun God Army and other main combat forces onto the path of conquering the entire highest cosmos, countless surrender documents began pouring in like rain, flying toward the Sun God Realm.

"The Sovereign of the Infinite Thousand Worlds has unconditionally surrendered to us!"

"The Realm of a Hundred Demons has unconditionally submitted to us!"

"The Realm of the Singers has unconditionally submitted to us!"

"The Shadow Moon Infinite World has unconditionally surrendered to us!"

"The Thousand Mechanism Low-Dimensional World has unconditionally yielded to us!"

"Your Majesty..."

Feng Luo looked at Zhou Wu with a mixture of bewilderment and resignation, "All the anticipated hostile forces along our current route have already surrendered to us."

"What about the second anticipated offensive route?"

Zhou Wu frowned.

"Hmm... they're still in the process of surrendering..."

"Five, four, three, two, one!"

"Good, Your Majesty."

"All vassal forces along the second anticipated assault route have now surrendered to us."

"What about the third route?"

"The forces along that route have not yet moved."

"Very well, then, launch an assault on all forces along that route."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Feng Luo received the order and immediately led the main combat forces, including the Jiaoyang Army, to move toward the third anticipated assault route.

But less than half an hour later...

"Reporting to Your Majesty!"

"All pre-offensive forces along the third pre-offensive route have sensed our altered assault path, suspecting we have now targeted them. Currently, every pre-offensive force on this route is rapidly surrendering to us, all willing to relinquish their thrones and join our Jiaoyang Divine Nation."

"Hmm… even a master of a high-tier divine nation specifically told me, 'We've been waiting to surrender for a long time—how come you haven't launched your attack yet?'"

Zhou Wu: "...".
