Chapter 1710: Finally Becoming Supreme Lord!

Chapter 1710: Finally Becoming the Supreme Lord!

Upon learning of his latest troop strength, Zhou Zhou immediately reorganized these soldiers with the utmost urgency.

Firstly,

He evenly divided the newly ascended deities and those who had reached the realm of Unfathomable Will into three equal parts.

Then, he dispatched each portion to the three primary battlefronts—the Ultimate Void Battlefield (Zhou Yu), the Yellow Sky Great Universe (Zhou Shishixi), and the Dusk Battlefield (Zhou Zhan).

These three regions were the most in need of military reinforcements.

As for the Supreme Great Universe and the Crimson Great Universe, his duplicates had both assured him that the pressure there was negligible—no reinforcements were required.

Zhou Zhou, fully aware of their words, wisely refrained from adding unnecessary troops. He simply concentrated his forces on these three main battlefronts.

Then, he returned to the Cycle Holy Palace, continuing his cultivation while simultaneously sending out a fragment of his consciousness to monitor the conditions across all battlefronts.

The Ultimate Void Great Universe.

Zhou Yu and the army officers and soldiers were en route to a great cosmic faction known as Ha Fu Great Cosmos.

They were now far beyond the reach of Ha Fu Great Cosmos, yet thanks to the previous day's acquisition of the Tuo Long, they were confident they could reach their destination within a single minute.

"Excellent work, Tuo Long."

"Upon your return, I shall reward you generously."

"What you desire, simply state it when the time comes."

Zhou Yu was thoroughly satisfied with the Tuo Long's speed and remarked so.

"Thank you, Majesty."

The Tuo Long's eyes sparkled brightly, quickly responding with reverence and excitement.

Now fully aware of the man who had saved his life—this man was undoubtedly a true "great wealth holder."

The rewards he promised would surely be beyond measure.

The Taurodragon sped through the sky, already calculating in his mind what reward he’d deserve tonight.

He had once thought that being caught by the Emperor would mark the beginning of another calamity.

But now it was clear—this was not a disaster at all. This was my opportunity!

He had to treat the Celestial Sovereign Prince with utmost care and respect.

"Red Pyre Heaven."

Zhou Yu called out.

"Your Majesty."

Red Pyre Heaven, now a powerful being at the peak of the Middle Realm's Supreme Will Stage, instantly materialized before Zhou Yu, bowing respectfully.

"What are our targets today?"

"Simply tell me which are strong and which are weak."

Zhou Yu said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cihuan Tian spoke respectfully, "After careful deliberation, we have decided that today we can conquer thirty major cosmic domains with maximum efficiency."

"Among the domains we have selected, all are the nearest and most accessible to us, allowing for the quickest arrival."

"As for their strength—on our scale, they are all domains that can be easily crushed. There is no domain whose power poses a threat to our army."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded slightly.

At that moment,

messages appeared on their personal terminals.

Zhou Yu glanced at them, and a subtle smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Cihuan Tian, you've also seen it."

"The Primordial has dispatched 100 million Supreme Gods, 4,000 Supreme Beings, and 200 newly ascended Sovereign Will Masters."

"How many additional Great Cosmic Domains can we conquer with this new force?"

"Report to the Emperor."

"I have just calculated."

"If we advance along the perfect path, we can seize an additional 20 Great Cosmic Domains—bringing our total to 50 today!"

Zhou Yu nodded slightly, saying, "Then proceed with this plan."

"Rush forward to conquer these Great Cosmic Domains!"

"We must act swiftly."

"Let every sentient being across the Ultimate Void Cosmic Realm come to know the glory of the Yang-Rising Holy Nation!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

……

The Yellow Heaven Grand Cosmos.

Zhou Shixi was seated upon his divine throne, handling imperial edicts.

As His Holy Day Divine Realm expanded its campaign across the Yellow Heaven Grand Cosmos, the volume of political affairs and war-related matters grew ever greater, and thus Zhou Shixi found himself increasingly burdened.

"Perhaps I should create a duplicate to assist me with the workload?"

A thought slipped into His mind.

At that moment,

He suddenly noticed the contents of a single edict.

After glancing at it for a few seconds, He smiled faintly.

"Have the Masters of Ziwei and the Primordial Demon Patriarch—two beings whose wills transcend the boundaries of existence—already detected the presence of the Holy Day Divine Realm so swiftly?"

"Also true."

"One day, and already conquered so many Supreme Realms and Ultimate Realms, with the conqueror being a Primordial God Realm—this kind of scenario, one couldn't possibly fail to notice."

"Fortunately, there's Haoyi Xuan Di actively engaged on the front lines drawing their attention."

"Thus, even if they discover my Sacred Day God Realm as an anomaly, they won't be able to personally intervene in my current progress."

"At best, they'll send more Ultimate Realms and a few beings with transcendent wills to besiege my Sacred Day God Realm."

Zhou Shiyu, upon saying this, couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

What kind of attack was this?

This was clearly just a feast being served to me.

"How many come, I'll kill how many."

That was what Zhou Shiyu thought to himself.

At this moment.

He suddenly received a personal terminal message from Zhou Zhou.

He glanced at it twice, murmuring in astonishment.

"100 million primary deities, 4,000 supreme gods, and 200 newly ascended beings of the Supreme Will realm?"

"Hmph."

"The pace of conquest today seems to be accelerating once more."

"Send them all to attack those Sovereign Domains."

"Make sure to complete both the expansion of our core territories and the domain upgrade requests today!"

"If nothing goes wrong with Fifteen, we might just manage an upgrade today."

...

The twilight battlefield.

Zhou Zhan had also just received the arrival of 100 megasupreme deities, 4,000 supreme gods, and 200 newly ascended beings of the Supreme Will realm at the twilight battlefield.

The Supreme Will realm beings from other supreme cosmoses, upon witnessing this, were stunned into silence.

Is this the twilight battlefield of their own supreme cosmos?

When did their Supreme Will realm beings become so abundant? Hundreds, hundreds arriving?

Too dreamlike!

Each of them felt this deeply.

At this moment, Zhou Zhan paid no mind to their reactions.

For he had already been summoned into the Supreme Will domain by the Supreme Will itself.

And there, already waiting, was another being.

It was the Heavenly Punisher God.

When He saw the Heavenly Punisher God, a quiet suspicion stirred within His mind—what could the Supreme Will have in mind by summoning Him?

But when the Supreme Will spoke of summoning Zhou Zhao’s true essence, Zhou Zhan said nothing. He simply closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he had become Zhou Zhou.

"Master."

Zhou Zhou spoke respectfully.

"The time in the Dusk Battlefield cannot be wasted. So I shall cut to the chase."

The Supreme Will said, then pointing to the Heavenly Punisher God beside him, "This morning, the Heavenly Punisher God found me and offered to relinquish his status as First Reserve Lord of the Supreme Sovereign, handing over the title to you."

"If you accept this title, I shall no longer interfere with any subsequent competition."

"I am satisfied with you as my successor."

"Therefore, Master, I may directly bestow upon you the title and inheritance of Supreme Sovereign."

"Would you be willing to attain the position of Supreme Lord through this method?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhou glanced at the Heavenly Punishment God King, who was calmly gazing back at him. When he noticed Zhou Zhou's gaze fixed upon him, the God King smiled and nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhou hesitated not at all, and said, "I accept!"

"Excellent!"

The Supreme Will smiled and nodded. Then, with a simple motion of his right hand, a dark golden crystal appeared in his grasp:

"This is the Supreme Immortality's inheritance left behind when he first opened the gate to Immortality—his ultimate inheritance of Immortality."

"It is a complete Immortality lineage, and within it lies the accumulated will and insights of the Supreme Immortality himself."

"If you absorb it, your cultivation will rapidly advance to the lower tier of Will Transcendence within a short span of time."

"Furthermore, your various Law Techniques will swiftly ascend in rank due to the will and insights contained within."

"What makes it most remarkable is that you need not worry about absorbing it—your own path will remain unaffected."

"Because the supreme, immortal inheritance is boundless and eternal, embracing all, it will not interfere with the will of any master of invincible resolve."

"Moreover, within Him lies a force of everlasting, unshakable immortality."

"You may comprehend this eternal, immortal power, and thus truly grasp what 'immortality' means—what kind of force it truly is."

"This will be of immense benefit to your future ascension into the realm of eternal immortality."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhou's eyes sparkled with sudden clarity.

He immediately reached out and accepted the inheritance of the eternal immortality realm.

"Thank you, Most Supreme Will."

He expressed his gratitude instantly.

"No need to thank me—this was meant to be given to you by your teacher."

He smiled.

"Back then, when the Supreme, Unfailing Master entrusted this lineage to me, it was His wish that I find a worthy successor for Him."

"Now, at last, I have fulfilled this solemn promise."

"From this point forward, I can finally devote myself entirely to preparing for the Unyielding."

As the Supreme Will spoke the final words, even with its transcendent awareness and mastery, a flicker of yearning shimmered in its gaze.

"Master, are you preparing to ascend to the realm of Eternal Immortality?"

The Heavenly Punishment God King gasped in astonishment.

The Supreme Will nodded, a gentle smile playing upon its lips.

The two exchanged a glance, then spoke in unison:

"Congratulations, Master."

The Supreme Will chuckled softly.

"I'll look forward to you both ascending to the Hall of Immortality and standing beside me as equals."

Zhou Zhou and Tian Cheng God King said nothing.

The former believed that promising something unachieved was pointless.

The latter simply saw the task as too daunting to commit to.

"Master, since you're preparing to depart, what about the Wuxiang Clan..."

Tian Cheng God King ventured cautiously.

"I cannot control the Wuxiang Clan."

"Because the very act of their invasion constitutes a divine opportunity capable of forging eternal immortality."

"If I intervene and forcibly seal off the entry point for the Wuxiang Clan into our world, I would be effectively erasing the path to immortality for other powerful beings—something I cannot allow."

"Which is precisely why, within our Ultimate Void Cosmos, so many immortals have attained the realm of eternal immortality, yet not a single one has ever dared to fully resolve the Wuxiang Clan's threat."

Zhou Zhou and Tian Chen God King froze.

They had never imagined such a hidden reason behind it all.

At that moment,

The Supreme Will's expression shifted slightly, and he said, "A new enemy has appeared in the Dusk Battlefield."

"Go handle them."

"This new force is quite numerous—be cautious."

"Yes, Master."

The Supreme Will nodded slightly, then raised his right hand, and instantly, the two figures vanished from where they stood.

The Supreme Will then turned and walked toward the center of the Supreme Domain.

Halfway through his journey,

A woman radiating a crimson aura materialized before Him.

It was the Crimson Sovereign.

"Are you ready to knock upon the gate of immortality?"

"Yes. For the sake of the Master's eternal legacy, I have stayed in this world too long."

"All matters have now been settled. It is time to depart."

"Wouldn't you fear that, should you leave, the Hollow Race would exploit your absence, breach the Supreme Cosmic Realm, and descend upon the Ultimate Void Cosmos, fulfilling their ambitions?"

"No."

The Supreme Will smiled, shaking his head.

"How do you know not…"

The Crimson Sovereign was about to counter, but suddenly recalled something—silence fell upon her.

He stared in disbelief at the Supreme Will, asking, "Did you see it?"

"Hmm."

"You are already..."

"Hush, don't say it. Otherwise, I'll be immediately expelled."

The Red Sovereign fell utterly silent.

"How could you have stayed so long?"

"My path is water—difficult to detect."

"Red."

The Supreme Will looked at the Red Sovereign and said, "Your red path does not fall short of my water path in potential, only slightly behind Zhou Zhou's unique 'Lord's Path.'"

"We share the same origin. If I have succeeded, then you too can succeed."

The Red Sovereign said nothing, silently vanishing into nothingness.

The Supreme Will remained still, a silent chuckle echoing through the void.

"Once I am gone, follow Zhouzhou."

"He is the Supreme of Heaven, his future potential beyond my sight, stretching into infinity."

"When the future becomes immortal, it will stand as the apex of immortality."

"By following him, you will swiftly find your own path to immortality."

After a long silence—

"Understood."

Only then did the voice of the Red Sovereign rise again.

…

The battlefield at dusk.

When Zhou Zhou and Tian Cheng God King returned to this place, they found that the vast army of the Supreme Cosmos had already engaged in combat with the forces of the Illusory Clan.

A single glance from Zhou Zhou revealed exactly how many powerful beings the Illusory Clan had sent forth.

No less than two thousand Supreme Will-level warriors and one hundred Will Transcendent-level warriors!

Such a number of warriors—no matter how powerful Zhou Zhou was—could not help but be stunned.

Even more so, Tian Cheng God King, standing beside him, had been completely stunned.

"How could there be so many Supreme Will-level and Will Transcendent-level warriors?"

He murmured, dumbfounded.

Zhou Zhou closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he had become Zhou Zhan.

Zhou Zhan muttered two sentences without words, then, gazing at the current situation, casually remarked, "I suspect the Void-Whisper clan suffered such massive losses yesterday that they've been pushed to the brink—so now they're preparing to strike us hard this time."

"But why didn't they send such powerful forces before? Why only now, suddenly, send so many strong warriors?"

"If they had attacked us like this earlier, our supreme cosmos would have been overrun long ago."

"This...."

Zhou Zhou paused, reflecting, and asked, "Do they have to pay a heavy price each time when sending strong warriors from the Void-Whisper realm to our side?"

"Yes, the teacher mentioned the cost is enormous—hence, they only send such forces occasionally."

Tian Cheng, the God of Heaven's Punishment, nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhan speculated, "Then it's likely that after being pushed to desperation yesterday, they've decided today to risk everything and seize our supreme cosmos once and for all—so they can finally end it permanently."

Tian Cheng, upon hearing this, nodded thoughtfully.

Indeed, that possibility exists.

After all, they had also witnessed the rapid growth of Zhou Zhou's power.

Should this trend continue, the future might see the emergence within their Supreme Grand Cosmos of a being as powerful as the Supreme Will itself.

At that point, the Vagabond Clan would find it vastly more difficult to exploit the Supreme Grand Cosmos as a stepping stone to invade the Ultimate Void Cosmos.

To halt Zhou Zhou's further development, they were thus willing to sacrifice everything.

"What should we do next?"

The Heaven-Punishment God King turned his gaze upon Zhou Zhan.

The true Supreme Lord of now.

Zhou Zhan smiled, shaking his head lightly. "Do not worry."

He stretched his body, his eyes gleaming with interest. "The transcendent realm Vagabond Clan shall be handled by me."

"As for those one thousand Supreme Will Realm masters, I shall entrust them to my Root Walker."

“They can easily resolve them.”
