Chapter 1699: Supreme Grade Troops and Immortal Grade Troops!

Chapter 1699: The Rank Without Superior and The Immortal-Rank Soldiers!

At present, Zhou Zhou lacked the ability to elevate his Master's innate talent to the Transcendent Rank—The Sole Lord's Talent—thus, such a level of advancement could only be achieved through the Supreme Will.

Then He departed from the Divine Palace and arrived at Mu Gu's residence. At that moment, Mu Gu was sipping tea, and Zhou Zhou naturally seated himself beside him, sharing tea and conversation.

"Your Majesty, you'll have to wait a bit longer today—the mother-beasts emerging from the Primordial Crimson Nidus are far more numerous than usual," Mu Gu chuckled.

"Just wait," Zhou Zhou replied casually.

Mu Gu nodded with a smile.

After roughly half an hour passed,

a golden streak shot out from the Crimson Nidus and landed upon the ground—there stood Wu Xin, Commander of the Territorial Defense Corps of the Jiaoyang Divine Realm!

"I have seen the Emperor."

"Forgive me for keeping the Emperor waiting!"

Wu Xin said anxiously.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Zhou Zhou shook his head indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Wu Xin exhaled in relief, and immediately presented to Zhou Zhou three world rings filled with spoils, with the utmost reverence.

Zhou Zhou reached out with anticipation, and with a single thought, two recruitment documents appeared in his hands.

He stared at the two recruitment documents, his eyes suddenly blazing with light.

Unranked unit – "Recruitment Document of the Supreme Primordial Sage!"

Unranked unit – "Recruitment Document of the Supreme Deity and Demon!"

His heart pounded wildly.

Was this truly his ultimate-tier unit?

And within the three world rings held in his hands, two of them contained nearly 12,000 yao of *Recruitment Documents for the Primordial Sage*, 12,000 yao of *Promotion Certificates for the Primordial Sage*, 12,000 yao of *Recruitment Documents for the Supreme Deity and Demon*, and another 12,000 yao of *Promotion Certificates for the Supreme Deity and Demon*.

Together, they amounted to nearly 24,000 yao—nearly 2.4 zhi of ultimate-tier unit sources!

After all,

he still possessed barely less than two zhi of troops.

These 2.4 zhi of unit recruitment documents would be sufficient to upgrade over 80% of his current forces into ultimate-tier units, and the remaining documents could further expand his forces by nearly a full size!

Yet, it was only "nearly" 2.4 zhi because ten of the recruitment documents had triggered the heavens' Supreme Deity's extremely rare probability—transcending into *Eternal Immortal-Level Unit Recruitment Documents*.

Immortal-Level Unit – *Recruitment Document for the Root Walker!*

"Recruitment Document for the Root Walker…"

"Is this really the name of an eternally unyielding-tier unit?"

"I have indeed, through my celestial Supreme Lord's innate ability, recruited an eternally unyielding-tier unit."

"Could this be the very sole eternally unyielding-tier unit in the entire Ultimate Void Cosmos?"

Zhou Zhou murmured to himself.

The thought then surged into his mind without restraint.

Though it was merely a conjecture, it was extremely plausible.

After all, even the most powerful Lord in the Ultimate Void Cosmos—the Great Ever-Constant Holy Emperor—had only units of transcendent tier under his command.

If the Ultimate Void Cosmos truly possessed eternally unyielding-tier units, the Great Ever-Constant Holy Emperor would undoubtedly be the one to obtain them.

Yet since he has not, the likelihood of any other powerful being in the cosmos acquiring such units becomes even smaller.

Thus, his own Root Walker might very well be the only eternally unyielding-tier unit in the entire Ultimate Void Cosmos.

Zhou Zhou thought of this, took a deep breath, and then handed Wu Xin 12,000 Kai worth of transfer certification, instructing him to go find soldiers from the Praeyang Legion and other main legions, and have them all promoted to the unranked troop class—Hun Yuan Sage—and the unranked troop class—Supreme Divine Demon.

He then left the mansion in Mugu, stepped out of the Divine Realm, and arrived at the Summoning Gate.

As usual, he summoned a first-tier Supreme God-level cosmic warship. Then he tossed all 12,000 Kai recruitment notices into the Summoning Gate and, spending 100 crystals of third-tier Supreme God, successfully recruited them all at once and assigned them to this cosmic warship.

He glanced at these new recruits.

His gaze first settled upon two of them.

A text prompt appeared.

[Soldier Name: Sheng Yuan]

[Home Territory: Praeyang Divine Realm]

[Unit Type: Hun Yuan Sage (Unranked Troop)]

[Combat Rank: Lower God, Junior Level]

[Ability Overview: The body is forged from [Primordial Dao Mother Qi] and [Primordial Dao Laws]. Every movement resonates with the harmony of three thousand Dao paths, causing all law-based attacks from beings below True God rank to be devoured by the Primordial Dao Force before reaching a Mixed-Origin Supreme Saint's body, thereby transforming into the entity's own primordial essence.

All attacks of the Mixed-Origin Supreme Saint possess the inherent property of [Dao Annihilation], capable of directly erasing the enemy's True Spirit Seal. It can unleash [Dao Cataclysm Light], triggering an instant death verdict on all beings below True God rank.

The Mixed-Origin Supreme Saint wields the ultimate Dao secret—[Primordial Dao Essence], allowing it to mirror and amplify a foe's most powerful combat technique by a factor of one hundred.

Within the Mixed-Origin Supreme Saint lies the [Primordial Army Vault], capable of summoning a Dao-Saint weapon perfectly aligned with the current battlefield situation—whether a spear, bell, tower, or mirror. These weapons themselves bear the effect of "infinite annihilation": any target struck vanishes completely from all temporal and spatial rivers, unable to be resurrected by any means below the level of transcendent will. ]

[Skills: No Superior Troop Talent – Dao-Saint Body, No Superior Troop Talent – Unbreakable Through a Thousand Tribulations, No Superior Troop Talent – Divine Authority as a Prison, No Superior Troop Talent – Mixed-Origin Suppression, No Superior Troop Talent – Inverse Causal Reversal, No Superior Troop Talent – Divine Path Judgment, No Superior Troop Talent – Eternal Cataclysm to Void, No Superior Troop Talent – Primordial Army Vault, No Superior Troop Talent – Celestial Burial Rite, No Superior Dao Technique – Collapse of All Realms... The Method of Refinement of the Mixed-Origin Supreme Saint’s Will (Sealed).]

[Loyalty: Absolute Devotion]

[Potential: Supreme Supreme Will]

...

[Soldier Name: Ever-Endless]

[Home Territory: The Sun-Rising Divine Nation]

[Army Type: Supreme Divine Demon (no superior army type)]

[Power Tier: Lower-tier God, Subordinate Level]

[Ability Overview:

The Supreme Divine Demon possesses a Divine-Demon Origin Body, with the left half being [Scorching Heavens Divine Bone] and the right half [Underhell Demon Flesh], their convergence generating the [Divine-Demon Origin Core]. The divine half automatically purifies all negative conditions, while the demonic half absorbs enemy buffs and converts them into its own power.

The Supreme Divine Demon is immune to all attacks from True Gods and below, including any rule-based or soul-based assaults; it can only be harmed by pure physical force or chaotic energy. It passively activates the [Supreme Divine Demon] Domain, forcibly balancing the combat power of all units within the domain—enemy strength among True Gods and below is reduced by 50%, while allied strength is amplified by 50%.

Every attack of the Supreme Divine Demon triggers the effect of Divine-Demon Judgment, inflicting damage to both the enemy’s divine form and soul. Through Divine-Demon Judgment, the Supreme Divine Demon can instantly annihilate all life within a small thousand-world realm, then immediately absorb the resulting destructive force to temporarily elevate its own power to the level of a True God.

The Supreme Divine Demon possesses infinite evolutionary potential—each time it defeats a unit of Supreme God-tier, it permanently acquires that unit’s most powerful ability and integrates it into its own.

When the Supreme Divine Demon is on the brink of death, it activates the [Infinite Abomination Nidus] form, splitting into 999 offspring with 80% of the original’s combat power, which scatter in all directions. Each offspring can take the place of the original and be reborn anew.]

[Skills: Supreme Army Trait – Divine-Demon Blood Feast, Supreme Army Trait – Final Annunciation, Supreme Army Trait – Eternal Cycle of Reckoning, Supreme Army Trait – Divine Realm Collapse, Supreme Army Trait – Nine Abysses Falling Together, Supreme Army Trait – Chaos Reunification, Supreme Army Trait – True Name Stripping, Supreme Army Trait – Divine-Demon Final Chapter – All Things Are But Grass, Supreme Army Trait – Divine-Demon Omniscient Eye… Supreme Army Law Technique – Supreme One Finger, Supreme Divine Demon Will Refinement Technique (Sealed!) ]

[Faithfulness: Absolute Loyalty]

[Potential: Supreme Will of the Highest Authority]

Zhou Zhou gazed upon the troop information of the Mixed-Primordial Sage and the Supreme Divine Demon, and with each passing glance, the smile tugging at his lips grew more pronounced.

When he reached the final entry, he could no longer contain himself and burst into laughter.

"Excellent! Excellent!"

"Indeed, a true top-tier unit!"

"This top-tier unit surpasses even my previous Supreme Divine Weapons and Supreme Sacred Law Units in power."

"Each one of these Mixed-Primordial Sages and Supreme Divine Demons—taken individually—would likely defeat a hundred of my former Supreme Divine Soldiers or Supreme Sacred Law Units."

Zhou Zhou felt profoundly satisfied.

Then, with eager anticipation, he turned his gaze toward the ten newly recruited Root Wanderers.

There they stood—the ten Root Wanderers—dressed in long, dark silver robes. Each wore a crown of omniscience upon their heads, a crimson prism glowing at the center of their foreheads. Their left eyes were voids, their right eyes blazing with white flame. Their entire presence radiated an incomprehensible transcendence, a quality that defied observation, and a tearing sensation incompatible with the fabric of reality itself.

As if they had never belonged to this ultimate void cosmos, forcibly summoned by some means and compelled to remain here, serving Zhou Zhou against their will.

If ordinary beings observed them, they would notice an extraordinarily eerie phenomenon.

That no matter from which angle they looked, they always perceived the others gazing down upon them, while themselves gazing up—

as though they existed in the highest dimensions, and themselves were mere beings of lower dimensional existence.

"Though they currently possess only the power of a lower-tier True God,"

"it's likely that even a master of Supreme Will would feel this strange sense of being subjugated before them."

Zhou Zhou could hardly believe it, his mind reeling.

Then he turned his gaze to the attribute data of these ten Root Walkers.

[Soldier Name: One]

[Territory of Affiliation: The Kingdom of Radiant Sun]

[Unit Name: Root Walker (Immortal-Class Unit)]

[Power Tier: Subordinate of True God]

[Ability Overview: The Root Walkers, as immortal-class units, though currently restrained in power, still retain their immortal form. Their true names are etched within the Immortal Hall. Their bodies are woven from [Reality] and [Illusion], rendering them immune to any attack below the level of immortal-class masters. In the ultimate void cosmos, they are genuine, eternal beings—unfathomably immortal. They return to the Immortal Hall only when their summoner perishes, continuing their eternal journey from the roots of existence.

As immortal-class units, the Root Walkers wield the passive ability—Root Annihilation. Though currently restrained, they can, from the very roots, endlessly erase any entity at the Supreme Will Level and below. Only beings at the Will Transcendence Level and above can suppress and seal them.]

[Skills: Immortal-Class Unit Trait—Universal Root, Immortal-Class Unit Trait—Root Collapse, Immortal-Class Unit Trait—Zero Return, Immortal-Class Unit Trait—Root Martial Practice, Immortal-Class Unit Trait—Final Wedge, Immortal-Class Unit Trait—Origin Key, Immortal-Class Unit Trait—Existence Denial, Immortal-Class Unit Trait—Concept Replication, Immortal-Class Unit Trait—Causal Convergence… (All these skills are sealed and inaccessible; only immortal-class masters can perceive them!)]

[Faithfulness: As you hold the title of Supreme Sovereign, the Root Walkers have decided to serve you loyally.]

[Potential: Eternal Immortality]

"Wow!"

Zhou Zhou was stunned.

He had originally believed he had summoned merely some special true gods possessing the power of eternal immortality, yet ranked only as subordinates of the True Gods.

But what did it say here?

That they were all beings who had etched their true names directly into the Hall of Immortality?

Even if they weren't truly immortal, they had nonetheless witnessed the very essence of an immortal realm.

Oh, really.

He had summoned such elite figures.

And upon closer inspection, their abilities were nothing short of staggering.

Beyond doubt, merely the ability to withstand attacks below the level of the Eternal Immortal State would make them nearly invincible within the Ultimate Void Cosmos.

Nigh invincible, because Root Wandering Ones could not be destroyed—only sealed.

It also stated above that a will beyond transcendence could seal and suppress them.

But...

What if one cultivated them into supreme deities, ultimate gods, or even eternal, unbreakable beings?

Then, none of them would believe that within this ultimate void cosmos, there could ever be any force capable of containing or imprisoning them.

Not even the highest will.

Even if the Great Everlasting Holy Emperor arrived, he would have to bow and submit.

Zhou Zhou seemed to see, laid out before him, an invincible path.

"Hey!"

"Those root wanderers you summoned are absolutely out of bounds!"

At that very moment.

His mind once again echoed with that immortal voice.

"Even if you hold the title of immortality, you cannot possess them at this stage."

The immortal being of supreme strength spoke with unyielding defiance.

Laughter surged around him, from a gathering of existences.

"This one is the future holder of the Supreme Title—possessing unique abilities is entirely normal, isn't it?"

"It's only strange if he didn't."

"And even if he summons these Root Wandering Beings, what then?"

"The Immortal Gate can only be opened by oneself. No living being can assist in the slightest."

"These ten Root Wandering Beings might only make his existence more comfortable within his ultimate void cosmos. To rely on their power to open the Immortal Gate? Absolutely impossible."

"You're right, too."

This immortal has finally grasped the truth, smiling gently and saying, "Zhou Zhou, it seems your luck hasn't arrived yet."

"The Root-Wanderer cannot help you open the gate to immortality."

"Keep striving, then."

"Or... perhaps it's better to simply give up. After all, your immortality title is something many immortals would dearly desire!"

"I don't want it."

"Li Chen, you possess such elite titles as 'Six-Polarity Supreme Sovereign' and 'The Ancestor of the Dead,' titles that rival even the Sovereigns themselves. Naturally, you don't need any more sovereign titles. But we, the ones without any titles, are envious beyond measure!"

"You go ahead and tease the newcomers, just don't go too far—otherwise, I'll intervene."

"Of course, Li Chen, you may rest assured."

...

Zhou Zhou: "????"

No, when you were chatting, did you even consider my feelings as a party involved?

And who exactly is Li Chen? It sounds like someone quite impressive.
