Chapter 1070: Celebration
Editor: Atlas Studios
In an ancient stone hall in the Origin Race’s territory.
“Chu Zhou, I didn’t expect you to become an Overlord.”
An Jigud sat on the throne with a ferocious and terrifying expression.
After devouring his teacher, the Lord of Thousand Faces, not only did he reconstruct his body and recover his strength, his strength even soared and quickly rose to the peak of the Universe n.o.bility Realm.
He originally thought that after he became one of the top Universe n.o.bility, he would soon be able to take revenge on Chu Zhou.
However, he did not expect to hear the news of Chu Zhou becoming an Overlord.
This made him extremely angry.
“Chu Zhou… I definitely won’t let you off.”
Thinking of how he had been reduced to a small soul fragment by Chu Zhou on the Demon Mountain Continent, he had almost died.
He could not help but hate Chu Zhou to the core and wished he could cut Chu Zhou into pieces.
“Our Origin Race is different from other lifeforms. Our Origin Race is basically a lifeform born from a special energy.”
“This also gives our Origin Race another way to become stronger. As long as we can devour our kind born from the same energy, our strength will undergo a huge transformation.”
“I’m… only a step away from becoming an Overlord now.”
“As long as I advance to another kind that is about to advance to the Overlord level… I might be able to advance to the Overlord level.”
With this thought in mind, An Jigud instantly turned into a shadow and disappeared.
He had to find a similar backlash as soon as possible and advance to Overlord before taking revenge on Chu Zhou.
…
On this day…
It was the day the Mirror Universe corporation held the Overlord Celebration for Chu Zhou.
The usually quiet Emperor Xi Holy City became very lively. There were lanterns and colorful banners everywhere, and people were coming and going on the long street.
There were also many s.p.a.ceships landing outside Emperor Xi Holy City.
The people who walked out of the s.p.a.ceship were basically either Universe Lords, Universe n.o.bility, or even Universe Overlords.
All of them had extraordinary ident.i.ties.
Every time someone walked out of the s.p.a.ceship, a special envoy would welcome him in time and bring him into Emperor Xi Holy City.
“Is this the Emperor Xi Holy City? It’s too spectacular.”
Dongfang Mingzhu, Yuan Bingmei, Ling Zhan, Li Qingshi, Shi Meng, and the others looked up at this ancient city that seemed to cut through Heaven and Earth. They all felt like they were looking up at a tall mountain.
They were all World Overlords. Logically speaking, they were not qualified to partic.i.p.ate in this celebration.
However, Chu Zhou had specially invited them.
Hence, they also came.
However, when they saw the majestic ancient city in front of them and the large number of Universe Lords and Universe n.o.bility around them, they felt inexplicably nervous.
“Big Sister Mingzhu, Sister Bingmei, Ling Zhan, Li Qingshi, and Shi Meng, I’ll bring you to Boss’s residence.”
Beibei suddenly appeared in front of Dongfang Mingzhu and the others and chuckled.
When Dongfang Mingzhu and the others, who were in an unfamiliar place deep inside, saw an acquaintance like Beibei appear, the nervousness in their hearts instantly subsided.
“Beibei, lead the way!” Dongfang Mingzhu smiled.
Beibei quickly brought Dongfang Mingzhu and the others to the Coiling Dragon Manor.
However, Chu Zhou was not in the Coiling Dragon Manor at the moment, so Dongfang Mingzhu and the others did not see him.
A moment later, Dragon, Sol, and Changa Saha also arrived. They were also brought to the Coiling Dragon Manor by Beibei.
In the Sacred Academy, Chu Zhou also saw many Overlords of the Infinite Battle Arena, the Universe Adventurer Alliance, the Universe Galaxy Bank, and the Myriad Tribe Chamber of Commerce.
“Chu Zhou, this is the Lord of Towering Sky of the Infinite Battle Arena. You should have seen him in the Holy Temple of the Human Race.”
“This is the Rock Lord of the Universe Adventurer Alliance…”
“This is First and Second Master of the Universe Galaxy Bank…”
“This is the Master of Void Silence of the Myriad Tribe Chamber of Commerce. You saw him when you partic.i.p.ated in the Samsara Trial.”
…
The Spring and Autumn Master pulled Chu Zhou to the many Overlords and introduced them to him one after another.
Chu Zhou smiled politely and greeted the many Overlords.
The Lord of Towering Sky, the Rock Lord, the First and Second Master, the Master of Void Silence, and the other Overlords congratulated Chu Zhou for advancing to the Overlord realm.
Overall, the atmosphere was very friendly.
“Oh yes.”
The Lord of Towering Sky suddenly spoke, attracting everyone’s attention, “Chu Zhou, the Martial Ancestor thinks very highly of you. He said that you have the potential to become a Sage and asked us to bring you two gifts.”
With that, he handed two black boxes to Chu Zhou.
The Lord of Towering Sky’s words shocked the Overlords of the Universe Adventurer Alliance, the Universe Galaxy Bank, and the Myriad Tribe Chamber of Commerce.
The Martial Ancestor actually said that Chu Zhou had the potential to become a Saint?
This was too shocking.
Ever since Emperor Xi disappeared, the Martial Ancestor had been the only Universe Saint of humanity. He was also humanity’s greatest reliance.
The Martial Ancestor’s status among humans was extremely high.
It could even be said that the Martial Ancestor could represent the will of the entire Human Race to a certain extent.
Therefore, the Martial Ancestor’s words were extremely valuable.
The Martial Ancestor said that Chu Zhou had the potential to become a Saint.
Then Chu Zhou probably really had the potential to become a Saint.
Instantly, the gazes of the Overlords of the Universe Adventurer Alliance, the Universe Galaxy Bank, the Myriad Tribe Chamber of Commerce, and the other two giants changed when they looked at Chu Zhou.
Just now, they had only treated Chu Zhou as one of their kind.
Now, they completely treated Chu Zhou as the seed of a Saint.
The Spring and Autumn Master and the other Overlords of the Mirror Universe corporation were also very happy to hear the Lord of Towering Sky’s words.
Even though they had long treated Chu Zhou as the seed of a Saint, their gazes were far inferior to the Martial Ancestor’s.
Even the Martial Ancestor said that Chu Zhou had the potential to become a Sage. Then, Chu Zhou might really become a Sage in the future.
How could the Spring and Autumn Master and the others, who were eager for the Mirror Universe corporation to give birth to another Saint, not be excited?
Chu Zhou was very calm.
With the Attribute Board, he had long confirmed that he would definitely be able to advance to the Saint Realm in the future.
Therefore, even though he heard that the Martial Ancestor had a high evaluation of him, he felt that it was normal.
He calmly took the two black boxes handed over by the Lord of Towering Sky.
“Chu Zhou, you can see what’s in these two boxes. I guarantee that it will surprise you,” the Lord of Towering Sky said with a smile.
“Then I’ll take a look!”
Chu Zhou was slightly stunned. He immediately activated his divine sense and observed the two black boxes.
Soon, he was stunned.
After his spiritual will penetrated the two black spots, he actually saw two worlds filled with endless corpses.
Wasn’t this the storage world used to collect corpses?
The Infinite Battle Arena actually gave him two such warehouse worlds as a congratulatory gift?
This was too surprising.
Chu Zhou couldn’t help but smile. He instantly put away the two boxes and cupped his hands at the Lord of Towering Sky.
“Thank you for your generous gifts. You’ve indeed surprised me.”
“Haha, as long as you like it.” The Lord of Towering Sky laughed.
The Rock Lord, the First and Second Master, the Master of Void Silence, and the others were all very curious about what the Lord of Towering Sky had given Chu Zhou.
“Mo Tian, what exactly is the gift you gave Chu Zhou?” The Rock Lord asked directly.
The Lord of Towering Sky glanced at the overlords who were looking at him curiously. His heart stirred as he said,
“It’s not a big gift. It’s just two warehouse worlds that collect corpses.”
As soon as he said this, other than Chu Zhou and the overlords of the many Infinite Battle Arenas, be it the overlords of the Mirror Universe corporation or the other three overlords, they were all shocked.
Was this not considered a heavy gift?
The value of a warehouse world that stored corpses was probably not inferior to an overlord-level Supreme Treasures.
If such a gift was not a heavy gift, what was?
However, when they thought of the Martial Ancestor’s evaluation of Chu Zhou, the Rock Lord, the First and Second Master, the Master of Void Silence, and the others felt that it was indeed worth it to give such a heavy gift to Chu Zhou.
Chu Zhou was someone who had a chance to become a Universe Saint in the future!
Now that he had “invested” in Chu Zhou and obtained his favor, if Chu Zhou really advanced to the Universe Saint realm in the future, the current “investor” would have profited greatly.
The value of the warehouse world where corpses were kept was indeed very high.
However, how could it compare to the friendship of a Saint?
Moreover, Chu Zhou had yet to become a Sage, so they still had a chance to invest.
If Chu Zhou became a Sage, they would not have the chance to invest even if they wanted to.
After thinking this through, the Rock Lord immediately communicated and discussed with the other three Overlords of the Universe Adventurer Alliance through his divine sense.
The First and Second Master also discussed and communicated with the other two Overlords of the Universe Galaxy Bank through their divine senses.
The Master of Void Silence and the two Overlords of the Myriad Tribe Chamber of Commerce were doing the same.
A moment later, the Rock Lord walked in front of Chu Zhou and said loudly, “Chu Zhou, our Universe Adventurer Alliance has also prepared two gifts for you… However, these two gifts are still on the way. They will only be delivered in a few days.”
“Ahem, our Universe Galaxy Bank has also prepared two gifts. They’re also on the way and will only be delivered in a few days.”
First and Second Master coughed dryly and smiled.
“It’s the same for our Myriad Tribe Chamber of Commerce,” the Master of Void Silence said bluntly.
King Bei Cang, the Spring and Autumn Master, the Caged Dragon Master, and the other overlords of the Mirror Universe corporation looked at each other and were all pleasantly surprised for Chu Zhou.
Without a doubt, after the Lord of Towering Sky, the two gifts given by the Rock Lord, the First and Second Master, the Master of Void Silence, and the others were definitely two warehouse worlds that stored corpses.
In that case, Chu Zhou would obtain eight warehouse worlds.
After Chu Zhou advanced to a Beginner Grade Overlord, he advanced from a Beginner Grade Overlord to an Intermediate Grade Overlord after devouring the corpses in three warehouse worlds.
If he devoured the corpses in the eight warehouse worlds, could he advance from an Intermediate Grade Overlord to an Advance Grade Overlord directly?
King Bei Cang and the others could not help but be filled with antic.i.p.ation.
Chu Zhou was also overjoyed.
He had never expected to receive eight storage worlds for this celebration.
“Eight storage worlds can roughly provide me with more than 2.4 billion attribute points… In that case, not only can I upgrade the Law of Reincarnation to the perfected Intermediate Grade Overlord level, but I can also upgrade to the supreme Overlord level.”
Chu Zhou’s heart surged as he thought about this.
