Chapter 1687: Legendary Lord's Talent - The Palace of Cyclical Rebirth

After seeing Zhou Yu depart, Zhou Zhou ceased further contemplation and turned his attention to continuing his cultivation alongside the other duplicates within the Palace of Cyclical Rebirth.

He continued refining the strange fruit power within his body, striving to elevate his own cultivation realm.

Meanwhile, the other duplicates delved into the study of law techniques, striving to swiftly advance other law techniques into will techniques.

At the same time,

Within the Supreme Vast Cosmos,

Before the Thousand-Worlds of Qian Yu,

after completing the collection of the Chaotic Divine Treasures, Zhou Wu arrived at Zhou Sheng's presence and joined the main combat forces of the Jiaoyang Divine Nation in their campaign across the myriad realms.

Then, he received a message.

"Reporting to the Majesty!"

"The Lord God of a thousand wings, ruler of a thousand thousand worlds, has already submitted to us with a formal surrender!"

"How shall we respond? Should we continue our attacks upon them?"

A Supreme God hurried forward, respectfully reporting.

Zhou Wu and Zhou Sheng exchanged a glance, their eyes reflecting a deep weariness.

"Enough."

Zhou Sheng said. "Since this Lord God of a thousand wings has already surrendered, there is no need to utterly destroy him."

"Order that the Lord God of a thousand wings must arrive at the capital of the Sun God Kingdom on the Supreme Continent within one day, and surrender his sovereignty. We shall not revoke his status as ruler of his domain. All shall remain as before—He remains the sovereign of his kingdom. As long as he governs the Thousand Thousand Worlds of a thousand wings well for us, we shall not fail to reward him. But should we discover any negligence on his part, leading to suffering among the people of a thousand wings and widespread lamentation among the spirits, the Sun God Kingdom will surely mete out punishment!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The Supreme God bowed respectfully and then withdrew.

"Come, let us move on to the next realm."

Zhou Sheng shook his head and looked down at the generals, his gaze settling on Chi Xuan Tian.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Chi Xuan Tian replied with reverence.

Now, Chi Xuan Tian had already ascended to the highest tier of third-stage Supreme Gods through the principles of the sword path, only a short distance away from achieving the fourth-tier Supreme God level.

Though in strength, he paled in comparison to the top Supreme Gods, the Unconquerable Will Beings, and the Will-Transcendent Masters under Zhou Zhou's command, he was still deeply trusted and valued by Zhou Zhou and his various avatars.

The reason was simple—He was one of his old subordinates.

Zhou Zhou and his avatars had always shown greater care and favor toward those who had remained loyal to them throughout the years.

Whether veteran generals or newcomers, this sentiment was universally appreciated.

After all, who wouldn't wish for a sovereign who remembered the past and cherished loyalty?

Even the newest generals would know that one day, they too would be surpassed by those who came after them.

Once the Supreme God had already stood as the pinnacle of strength within the Sunlight Sovereignty, a force so powerful that even the Emperor himself had to rely on him, considering him one of the core pillars of the nation's might.

Yet now, the Supreme God served under Zhou Zhou, merely one among countless ordinary generals. Only those who had reached the Unparalleled Will Realm were considered rare among the elite, and thus were given special attention by the Emperor. Among all such, the most favored were undoubtedly the newly arrived Will Transcendence-level warriors.

A new generation replaces the old.

This has always been the open rule of survival in any workplace.

The Emperor’s willingness to hold onto the past made countless veteran generals and newcomers feel that their decision to remain within the Sunlight Sovereignty was a wise one.

They did not wish to become one of the discarded.

At that moment,

a figure appeared suddenly within the spaceship.

Zhou Sheng, Zhou Wu, Chi Xuan Tian, and the others instantly turned to look.

When they saw Zhou Yu and sensed the familiar, unreplicable aura emanating from him, they silently exhaled in relief.

"Chu Xuan Tian, I am at your service... the new Emperor."

Chu Xuan Tian asked hesitantly.

"Chu Xuan Tian, I've heard the Original Self speak of you."

Zhou Yu nodded with a smile.

Chu Xuan Tian bowed with deep reverence, startled by the honor.

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, then turned to Zhou Sheng and Zhou Wu, his expression solemn:

"The Original Self has just issued orders: you must divide your forces in half and proceed into the Ultimate Void Cosmos to conquer and fully subjugate a weak Great Cosmos."

"This matter directly concerns the future promotions of our generals—there is no room for delay!"

"Now, lead half your forces with me."

"Make sure to fully conquer at least one complete cosmos before dawn, and establish your body as master of that cosmos!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Sheng and Zhou Wu rose to accept the order.

"Fortunately, we haven't encountered major conflicts here. Most of the forces we've met have surrendered directly to us. A few have dared to resist, but their power is so weak that even training our soldiers proves futile."

"Here's an idea."

After a moment of contemplation, Zhou Sheng said, "Don't take half of them."

"I will hand over four-fifths of my troops to you. You lead these forces and help establish several complete cosmos for the main body."

"This matter directly concerns the promotions of our soldiers—no negligence or carelessness should be shown."

"By giving you more troops, you'll be able to conquer not just one, but several more complete cosmos sooner."

"Indeed, I have few battles on my side as well. Almost no combat occurs in a single day, and under my command, my soldiers absorb little promotion energy—wasting precious time."

"At your place, you'll encounter more wars, reap greater rewards, and advance swiftly."

"How do you think?"

"Agreed."

Zhou Yu merely considered it briefly before accepting.

He longed to conquer several more great universes, to provide ample primordial energy from those universes for the promotion of his troops.

And what Zhou Sheng had mentioned was indeed a pressing issue.

He could not allow his soldiers to waste their precious developmental time.

Since the Supreme Great Universe offered few adversaries to fight, they should turn their attention to the Ultimate Void Great Universe.

Having laid the foundation for the Ultimate Void Great Universe for so long, it was finally time to move forward into it.

After counting his army, Zhou Sheng transferred four-fifths of the generals and soldiers to Zhou Yu, sending him off with them.

Zhou Sheng and Zhou Wu stared silently at the direction where Zhou Yu and the army had departed.

After a long silence, Zhou Sheng sighed with envy, "How I envy this guy. He must experience countless fascinating wars in the future."

"You're sounding like a war fanatic right now," Zhou Wu teased, then added, "I'm wondering—what if he encounters many incredibly powerful martial cultivators in the future?"

"You're still blaming me," Zhou Sheng shot back, glancing at him with a look of utter disbelief.

Zhou Wu said nothing in reply.

After a moment of contemplation, Zhou Sheng continued, "As the conflicts within the Supreme Great Cosmos are gradually stabilizing, I believe our primary battlefield is about to shift."

"The main stage of conflict may soon become the Ultimate Void Great Cosmos."

"While the Dusk Battlefield is certainly impressive, it remains the domain of the very top-tier cultivators. The main participants are Primordial Gods and beings above them. Our vast majority of troops—those below the rank of Primordial God—will simply be unable to survive or make an impact there."

"Only the Ultimate Void Great Cosmos can be the place where our Jiaoyang Divine Nation truly flourishes."

"Why not mention the Crimson Great Cosmos?"

Zhou Wu smiled.

"What's there to say?"

Zhou Sheng spoke indifferently. "The side of Fifteen has gathered nearly all the information about the Crimson Great Cosmos. Before our rise, the Crimson Great Cosmos was roughly on par with the Supreme Great Cosmos in terms of strength—perhaps only slightly superior in the number of Supreme Deities and Unparalleled Willful Masters, but that advantage was minimal."

"Our Supreme Great Cosmos, however, vastly outnumbers the Crimson Great Cosmos in the number of deities below the Supreme Deity level, effectively neutralizing their edge in elite strength."

"Since our rise, the Crimson Great Cosmos has been utterly incapable of competing with us."

"The reason the Crimson Great Cosmos can still maintain peace with us now is simply because they have not yet stepped forward."

"As soon as they dare to challenge us, as long as the Supreme Will remains unbroken and our Jiaoyang Divine Nation does not vanish, the Crimson Sovereign will surely face certain defeat!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wu murmured with deep reflection, "Unaware of it, we have become the decisive force between the fates of the Supreme Great Cosmos and the Crimson Great Cosmos?"

"Think about it—our growth rate is truly astonishing."

"It must be, the innate strength of the original form is beyond comprehension."

"100% drop rate…"

Zhou Sheng shook his head. "The more I think about it, the more astonishing this innate ability seems. How it has managed to reach this point without showing any signs of decline."

"It's no surprise that other powerful beings all believe the original form will eventually transcend into the realm of willful transcendence, even reaching the legendary state of eternal immortality."

Zhou Wu nodded in agreement.

"Keep conquering the myriad realms of the supreme cosmos."

"Stop daydreaming about such trivialities."

Zhou Sheng said.

Zhou Wu nodded, then suddenly recalled a question. "By the way, aren't we nearly halfway through conquering the world of the highest cosmos?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sheng nodded slowly. "Yes, conquering the myriad realms is actually quite simple. In the past, at least one-third of all the realms across the multiverse were controlled by the Primordial Spirit Clan, the Chaos Deity Clan, the Herdsman Deity Clan, and other elite bloodline races—along with advanced bloodline species."

"After we defeated and subjugated these powerful factions, those realms naturally came under our dominion."

"The remaining two-thirds of the realms? We merely need to locate the masters of the major powers, defeat them, and in one swift motion, subjugate tens of thousands of worlds."

"If we focus our efforts solely on these dominant masters, within just a few days, we'll have secured at least ninety percent of the realms within the highest cosmic domain."

"By tonight, we should have conquered half of the highest cosmic domain."

"Give me merely three days for the remainder, and I will ensure the complete subjugation of the entire highest cosmic domain."

"And what of the Cycle Palace?"

Zhou Wu asked.

"Exactly," replied Zhou Sheng, nodding. "Tonight, we will finally witness the true form of the Cycle Palace—a unique master talent—when it reaches the Mythic-Level, Singular tier."

Zhou Wu nodded, his heart filled with anticipation.

For a long time, the Ever-Cycling Sacred Palace—frequently utilized by Zhou Zhou and the various generals—had merely been a legendary master's innate talent.

As to why Zhou Zhou had not yet chosen to elevate it, it was because this master talent was uniquely special: it could not be forcibly upgraded through external forces. Only by fulfilling its specific upgrade requirements could the Ever-Cycling Sacred Palace achieve ascension, progressing to a higher tier of master talents.

Not long ago, after Zhou Zhou had decisively conquered the various realms within the Supreme Vast Cosmos and successfully subjugated a full hundred great thousand worlds, the Ever-Cycling Sacred Palace—once a legendary, singular master talent—had finally ascended to the status of a legendary, singular master talent.

To elevate it further to the mythical, singular master talent tier, Zhou Zhou would need to occupy half of the Supreme Vast Cosmos.

"This Ever-Cycling Sacred Palace is the most exceptional master talent among all the innate talents possessed by my body, second only to Supreme Fate,"

"Unknown as to what extent its effects would amplify once it reaches the mythical, singular master talent level."

Zhou Wu mused.

Then He glanced at it—the newly unlocked ability of the Realm of Reincarnation, awakened by the master's ascension to the legendary tier of Lord.

…

[Building Function 2 – Gate of Temporal Cyclicity: Gather the world-force of a specific realm and channel it into the Gate of Temporal Cyclicity, thereby permanently opening a portal to that world.

Within the gate lies a meticulously recorded chronology of that world’s true past. The Master of the Realm of Reincarnation may, by consuming Fog Hearts or Divine Crystals, forge Temporal Passes. With such passes, a fragment of a soul or spirit—either his own or another being’s—can be deposited into the gate, allowing the bearer to manifest as a spiritual avatar and traverse the world’s past timelines, experiencing its true history in real time.

When the avatar perishes within the temporal realm, it will revert to its original soul or spirit and return to its original body, leaving no impact upon the physical self.

All gains accumulated by the avatar during its journey within the temporal realm may be fully reclaimed.]

[Building Function 2 – Infinite Temporal Expanse: By consuming Fog Hearts or Divine Crystals, you may adjust the ratio of time flow between the temporal realm and the real world.]

[One: 1:100 (For every day that passes in the real world, 100 years pass in the temporal realm). Using this time ratio, one day requires 100 upper-tier God-grade Divine Crystals.]

[Two: 1:1000 (For every day that passes in the real world, 1000 years pass in the temporal realm). Using this time ratio, one day requires 1000 true God-grade Divine Crystals.]

[Three: 1:10000 (For every day that passes in the real world, 10,000 years pass in the temporal realm). Using this time ratio, one day requires 10,000 master-tier Divine Crystals.]

……

Zhou Wu gazed at these newly unlocked effects, unable to help but marvel at them.

Though he had seen them before, each time he witnessed them, he still felt that the effects of the Temporal Cycle Gate and the Boundless Time Space were utterly absurd.

"The effect of the Temporal Cycle Gate is practically equivalent to stepping into a different timeline of time."

"Indeed, it allows one to enter physically and return with all gains from within."

"And then there's the effect of the Boundless Time Space—time dilation ratio."

"The maximum ratio reaches 1 to 10,000."

"One day in the real world equals ten thousand years passing inside."

"What kind of accelerated power-up program is this!"

Zhou Wu could only stare, stunned.

Then He closed the Lord's innate ability interface, and continued fighting across the myriad realms with Zhou Sheng, carrying the remaining fifth of the forces.
