Chapter 1698: Improvement of Lord Talent! Immortal Sacred Ark!

Chapter 1698: The Enhancement of the Lord's Innate Talent! The Holy Immortal Vessel!

A moment later.

The three of them entered the divine palace and approached Zhou Zhou.

"Your Majesty, we bow before you!"

They spoke respectfully.

"The territory has now been promoted to a third-tier supreme domain. Please share your respective advancements."

Zhou Zhou said to them.

Upon hearing this, Mugua stepped forward first and respectfully addressed Zhou Zhou:

"Your Majesty, currently, the grade of the original nest of Crimson Origin under my stewardship has been elevated from a second-tier supreme divine structure to a third-tier supreme divine structure."

"The three Crimson Nests derived from the third-tier supreme Crimson Origin Nest now each produce 1 billion Fog Mothers—up from the original 500 million."

"For every Fog Mother's world, we can now cultivate 10 yao of fog monsters."

"10 billion Fog Mothers can collectively produce 100 billion fog monsters."

"Three Crimson Nests yield 3,000 yao of fog monsters."

"Moreover, the quality and efficiency of my high-quality Crimson offspring cultivation have been significantly improved."

"Currently, I can cultivate ten three-tier Supreme Deity-level Crimson Supreme Deities per day. As for other divine ranks, they remain unchanged—so long as the Crimson Fog does not vanish, I can cultivate them without limit."

Mu Gu said.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhou nodded slightly.

A daily output of 3,000 yao of fog monsters!

If I were to use all of these 3,000 yao of fog monsters to train military units, under the blessing of elite talents and titles such as Sky Sovereign, I would harvest 6,000 yao of the original 'Supreme Divine Weapon Recruitment Scrolls' each day...

Wait!

Zhou Zhou suddenly realized a question.

His current unit types were actually the original main god's unit types, elevated by one tier in quality to become supreme god-level units.

Yet his Heavenly Supreme Sovereign could increase the quality of his unit loot by two tiers.

That meant—

Tomorrow, he would obtain 24,000 yao of primordial will-level unit recruitment documents and promotion certificates.

As this thought struck him, his eyes instantly brightened.

Could he now possess units of primordial will?

It was said that the supreme legion of supreme will consisted entirely of primordial will-level units.

Thus—

From tomorrow on, he would possess units as powerful as supreme will itself?

Zhou Zhou nodded with satisfaction.

Correct. Absolutely correct.

His most advanced elite units have served under him for a long time now.

It's time to help them evolve, to advance further.

Now that they have reached the rank of Supreme Will-level units, even within the ultimate void cosmos, they stand as nearly invincible forces.

One might say "nearly invincible" because, according to legend, the Great Everlasting Holy Empire—considered the pinnacle among all transcendental master factions in the ultimate void cosmos—possesses a transcendental-level unit known as the [Ultimate Imperial Army].

Though this transcendental unit, the [Ultimate Imperial Army], is scarce, numbering only a single main corps, the Great Everlasting Holy Emperor achieved the status of the foremost master faction in the cosmos through the combined might of this elite corps and his own unmatched power.

Had the Great Everlasting Holy Emperor lacked the [Ultimate Imperial Army] corps, he would have been merely one of the top-tier individuals in the ultimate void cosmos, falling short of being recognized as the sovereign ruler of the most preeminent faction across all realms.

"I can't obtain transcendental will-level units, but I won't believe that Supreme Will-level units are beyond reach in the ultimate void cosmos."

"When I secure a Supreme Will-tier unit within the ultimate void cosmos' power structure, and transform them into crimson monsters, I can then hurl them into the Primordial Crimson Nest to cultivate them."

"Then, perhaps, leveraging the +2 attribute of the Celestial Sovereign, I could directly breed and recruit a transcendent-tier unit."

"Should fortune favor me, I might even produce some units of eternal immortality."

"Then,"

"I shall see—whether the ultimate imperial weapon of Da Hong Holy Emperor is superior, or whether my own units surpass it."

With the Celestial Sovereign, this ultimate master talent, Zhou Zhou felt confident he could raise a super army for himself and the Prairial God Realm.

Starting tomorrow, he would gain 12,000 yao of base recruitment documents and 12,000 yao of base promotion certificates each day.

Even if the probability of obtaining an eternal immortality-tier prize was slim, he should still secure a few recruitment documents and promotion certificates for eternal immortality-tier units, right?

Just thinking about it, Zhou Zhou's heart swelled with anticipation.

After calming his mind, He turned to Mu Gu and said:

"Of the three hundred billion head of Wumu you have, one hundred and fifty billion shall be used to cultivate Chaos Masters, and the other one hundred and fifty billion shall be dedicated to nurturing Primordial Holy Cannons."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Mu Gu bowed respectfully and then withdrew.

Zheng Fugui stepped forward next.

"Reporting to Your Majesty."

"Now that our Secret Trading Guild has ascended to a third-tier Supreme Territory, our chances of discovering treasures have increased once again. In the future, whenever we go on trading expeditions, we should be able to bring back at least one hundred billion pieces of divine-grade artifacts, and in the best cases, we may even obtain Supreme Divine artifacts."

"At present, we are beginning to establish our trading routes within the Ultimate Void Great Cosmos. In the coming years, an ever-increasing number of precious goods will be transported from the Ultimate Void Great Cosmos, and through the trade networks we have built, we will also be able to sell our Jiayang Divine Nation's products to various great cosmos powers within the Ultimate Void Great Cosmos."

"Among the goods we export, items such as divine artifacts, restorative divine-grade relics, and power-empowering inheritances are especially favored by the various powers within the Ultimate Void Great Cosmos."

"Through the sale of these goods, not only have we recovered the initial capital required to establish our trade routes, but we have also amassed substantial profits."

"However, we have also drawn the gaze of many forces coveting our wealth."

"Among them are no less than transcendental will-level powers, even wills beyond transcendence."

Zheng Fugui spoke respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhou burst into quiet laughter.

"Don't fear them."

"Later, have Zhou Zheng arrange more transcendental will-level warriors and one will-beyond-transcendence warrior to escort your convoy."

"If necessary, I'll personally assign a fragment of my own being to safeguard your trade routes."

"I'll see who dares to raid you!"

A smile played upon His face. "The thrill of unexpected gains—haven't I had such a thing in a long time?"

"Thank you, Majesty!"

"With the Emperor's great support, our Secret Guild will surely sail smoothly and prosper beyond measure!"

Zhang Fugui exclaimed with joy.

Zhou Zhou nodded in agreement.

Then Zhang Fugui quietly withdrew.

Carlo Moira stepped forward, speaking respectfully:

"Report to the Emperor."

"Since our territory has advanced to a Class-Three Supreme Divine Level, our Pianxian Holy Vessel now boasts 1,000 jing of priests, 1,000 jing of deacons, 1,000 jing of nuns, and 10,000 life-holy knightly warriors."

"These divine personnel are sufficient to carry out healing and resurrection operations for a military force of 10 zhi level."

"Furthermore—"

"Currently, our Pianxian Holy Vessel has reached a total of 1,000 yao of elite divine-level clerics!"

"Every single one of them has mastered the greater and lesser arts of resurrection, capable of independently reviving our empire's enshrined deities."

"Your subject’s own strength has likewise broken through its bottleneck, reaching the rank of a third-tier Supreme God. At present, I can resurrect approximately one hundred Supreme Gods of the fourth tier or below each day."

Zhou Zhou nodded.

Tonight, he would elevate the Holy Vessel of the Other Shore into a Supreme-tier, Unique Lord Talent.

Otherwise, should any mishap befall the subordinates of the Supreme Will realm under his command, they truly could not be brought back.

He had no wish for his flawless record of zero subordinate casualties to be shattered by the fall of a Supreme Will realm powerhouse.

After conversing with them for a brief while longer, Zhou Zhou dismissed them.

Then, with a mere stir of his mind, he manifested once more in the skies directly above the Capital of the Blazing Sun.

Gazing down upon the capital below, he prepared himself to elevate the Kingdom of the Blazing Sun into a second-tier Supreme Realm.

Indeed.

The Sunbeam Divine Nation not only met the territorial promotion requirements, but also fulfilled the nation-level ascension criteria.

His mind stirred.

The very next instant.

A textual prompt appeared.

[Prompt: You have met all conditions for ascending to the second-tier Supreme Nation. Do you wish to promote the Sunbeam Divine Nation to a second-tier Supreme Nation?]

"Ascend!"

Zhou Zhou said.

[Prompt: You have one opportunity to alter the location of your Divine Capital. Do you wish to change or retain the current location?]

"Retain!"

[Prompt: Your choice has been confirmed!]

[Tip: Your lordship's domain—the First-Class Supreme Realm, the Sun's Glory Sovereign State—is undergoing ascension…]

[Tip: Ascension successful!]

[Congratulations! Your First-Class Supreme Realm Lordship domain—the Sun's Glory Sovereign State—has officially been elevated to the Second-Class Supreme Realm Lordship domain—the Sun's Glory Sovereign State!]

[Tip: You may display your sovereign state's rank at any channel!]

Zhou Zhou nodded with satisfaction.

Then He opened the sovereign state ascension interface.

[State Name: Sun's Glory Sovereign State]

[State Sovereign: Sovereign of the Sun]

[State Rank: Second-Class Supreme Realm]

[State Flag: Stars Encircling the Sun]

[The Divine Nation Army: The Sunlit Legion (Lower Supreme Legion), The Monster Legion (Lower Supreme Legion), The Dragon God Legion (Lower Supreme Legion), The Multinational Legion (Lower Supreme Legion), The Heavenly Map Legion (Lower Supreme Legion), The Homeland Defense Legion (Four-tier Supreme Divine Rank)]

[Conditions required to ascend to Third-tier Supreme Nation: Territory rank upgraded to Third-tier Supreme Territory, 10,000 Third-tier Supreme Divine Crystal shards, Conquest of 100 primary Supreme Divine Lord territories under the command of the Crimson Sovereigns (0/100), Conquest of 50 primary Supreme Divine Lord territories under non-Crimson Sovereigns (0/50), Conquest of 10,000 elite nation-level lord domains across any vast cosmos and possession of their true Supreme Divine Nation Mandate (0/10,000), 10 billion independent regional territories, 50 million divine beings of one's own race dedicated in worship, 500 artifacts of any race (500/500), 50,000 primary divine beings of one's own race in worship (50,000/50,000), 20 Supreme Divine beings of one's own race in worship (11,921/20), The Lord’s own power level reaching Third-tier Supreme Divine Rank!]

Zhou Zhou glanced at the requirements for ascending to a Third-tier Supreme Nation and was startled to find that the conquest of elite nation territories within the Supreme and Crimson Cosmos had vanished entirely.

He pondered briefly and understood immediately.

Elite nations were no longer mere minor lord factions—they were scarce, and the entire Supreme and Crimson Cosmos contained only a handful. He had already eliminated numerous elite nations in pursuit of nation status. Now, it was nearly impossible to find enough elite nations within the Supreme Cosmos alone. If the new requirements still included such a clause, he would have had to create them from nothing.

Now that the requirement had disappeared, it made perfect sense.

"All other requirements have already been fulfilled."

"The only two that remain barely achievable—still the conquest of primary Supreme Divine Lord territories across both the two Cosmoses."

"Now I am wealthy and powerful, I can establish it all within a single day."

"Then I can continue advancing."

Zhou Zhou smiled faintly, thinking it over.

He closed the Divine Realm interface, then quickly remembered something.

"At this very moment, has the Supreme Domain already begun hosting gatherings?"

Zhou Zhou thought to himself.

But tonight,

He had no intention of joining his newly elevated Supreme Will-level subordinates in attending.

Today had been too busy.

He needed to remain focused on refining the will-origin feedback from the Eternal Continent, the Time-Space River, and the Ultimate Void Battlefield, so he could swiftly ascend to the upper tier of Supreme Will Realm.

At the same time, the Eternal Immortality Transmission of the Break the Heavens Fist Sect, and the Hundred Realms Saint Sovereign of the Spring and Autumn Master, both held invaluable lessons worth studying.

Finally, He must elevate all remaining rule techniques into will techniques, pushing His power to a new level.

Thus, the welcome banquet—let the ascended ones attend it. He himself simply lacks the time.

The next day.

Within the Realm of Reincarnation.

Lu Fa-chou slowly opened his eyes.

Feeling the will source core within his mind, sensing the primordial force of the will essence, a smile bloomed upon his face.

He had already assimilated the primordial will force returned from the Ultimate Void Battlefield, and with the continuous application of the Universal Source Unity Secret Method, he was now drawing ever closer to the upper echelon of Supreme Will Realm.

"With the Universal Source Unity Secret Method, the Realm of Reincarnation, where one day equates to ten thousand years, and with the constant influx of primordial will force from the outside world..."

"Indeed, relying on external forces for cultivation is far more efficient than enduring such grueling self-practice."

Zhou Zhou's face broke into a smile.

Besides that.

Over the course of three thousand years during that single night, he had preliminarily mastered the ancestral teachings of Duan Tian Fist Sect and the transcendent technique of the Hundred Realms Supreme Sovereign.

In just one night, he had accomplished what the Spring and Autumn Law Master had spent his entire lifetime unable to achieve.

Thankfully, the Spring and Autumn Law Master was unaware of this—otherwise, he would have probably wanted to die.

The title of the first potential in the ultimate void cosmos was no mere exaggeration.

Finally.

He successfully elevated the supreme-tier, unique Sovereign gift "The Other Shore Sovereign Ship" to the ultra-ultimate, unique Sovereign gift—"The Immortal Sovereign Ship."

After calling over Karlo Moira and asking her once, Zhou Zhou had confirmed the effects of the Immortal Sovereign Ship.

The effects of the Immortal Sovereign Ship were nearly identical to those of the Other Shore Sovereign Ship—the only significant difference being that the spiritual personnel aboard the Immortal Sovereign Ship now worshipped the legendary existence of the Eternal Immortality Realm—the Immortal Sovereign Master—and possessed the power to resurrect the will of a Supreme Will Realm master.

Zhou Zhou was, naturally, profoundly satisfied with this.

This was precisely the effect He desired; nothing else held any weight.

This completely resolved the matter of life and death for the powerhouses of the Supreme Will Realm.

Yet, a fresh dilemma promptly presented itself.

What was to be done about the survival and safety of those supreme beings of the Will Transcendence level?

"Another upgrade is needed!"

Zhou Zhou said.
