Zhou Xingdou didn't emphasize his own importance, but instead looked at the thirty-six saints behind Wan Tianzhou and joked:
"You'll be amazing in the future. It won't be long before your thirty-six subordinate saints become thirty-six venerable ones. Even I, the boss, can't help but envy you."
Wan Tianzhou didn't belittle the Thirty-Six Saints; instead, he glanced gratefully behind him and slowly said:
"That's true. In the future, I will need these thirty-six protectors to support me, the weakest Lord of the Universe."
After all, these thirty-six people resolutely supported him in his desperate battle when the Holy Land of the Universe was in its most critical moment, and Wan Tianzhou could not help but be grateful.
But Wan Tianzhou took Zhou Xingdou's words of envy as a joke:
"But it's an exaggeration for you to say you're envious, boss. Your ghostly bodyguards and the four seniors behind you are truly enviable."
Wan Tianzhou had already witnessed the splendor of the 108 Star Guardians firsthand, and compared to Zhou Xingdou's joking envy, Wan Tianzhou was truly envious.
Moreover, not counting the Star Nether Commander who was not present at the moment, Chen Nong, Wei Luosheng, Tian Yin, and Yu Chi Li behind Zhou Xingdou were all extraordinary individuals.
With a single arrow, Tianyin shattered the ancient mirror and annihilated the three evil generals.
Wei Luosheng settled the heaven and earth with one word, and destroyed the sea of evil spirits with one word.
Chen Nong fought the two Dao Venerables alone and easily killed them.
The only word to describe it is "horrible".
Even if all thirty-six saints reached the Supreme Realm, they could not compare to just one of them.
Zhou Xingdou raised an eyebrow but did not refute it. Although he felt it was still not enough, he had to admit that Chen Nong and the others were indeed terrifying.
It's not just their cultivation level as high-ranking supreme beings, but also their strength that cannot be measured by cultivation level alone.
Chen Nong's method of summoning plants to kill two Dao Venerables, and Wei Luosheng's extremely miraculous Confucian and Daoist methods, can both be measured by their cultivation level alone.
However, Zhou Xingdou's expression turned serious at this moment, and he looked at Wan Tianzhou with a somewhat solemn expression, saying:
"Now that you have become the Holy Lord, do not forget the promise you made back then."
Wan Tianzhou was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, a hint of reminiscence appearing in his eyes. His gaze towards Zhou Xingdou became solemn, and he said in a deep voice:
"Year after year, I will never forget..."
Seeing Wan Tianzhou's solemn expression, Zhou Xingdou's serious face instantly softened. It was self-evident what kind of agreement the four inheritors of the immortal forces that divided the world into four parts of the Tai Shi Dao Domain could have made.
When they wield power, extinguishing the flames of war that have raged for thousands of years in the Tai Shi Dao Domain is an agreement made by Wan Tianzhou, Bai Yulong, and Dou Wanjun.
Zhou Xingdou also needed a peaceful Tai Shi Dao Domain. Although the four of them were young at that time, they had already determined the future direction of the Tai Shi Dao Domain.
If Zhou Xingdou hadn't been hopeless in his previous life, leaving the Tai Shi Dao Domain to become a lackey of the Chosen One, and if Wan Tianzhou hadn't encountered Du Buhui's possession, the Tai Shi Dao Domain would probably have presented a completely different picture in his previous life.
However, it's not too late in this life. Now, Du Buhui has been eliminated by his own fate, and his immortal soul is suffering the torment of being refined in the Hell Furnace. Wan Tianzhou has successfully succeeded to the position of Holy Lord, and Zhou Xingdou's plan has been half completed.
As for Bai Yulong, there's no need to worry at all. This fool is a typical example of someone who hasn't changed his original intention. He even risked his life to try and awaken Wan Tianzhou. Of the three, he was the most steadfast, but in his previous life, he also had the most tragic ending.
As for Dou Wanjun, no one knows what happened to him. Even twenty years after his previous life, there seems to be no news of him emerging from seclusion. No one knows what the Pantheon is up to behind the scenes.
I might need to visit the Pantheon myself sometime in the future.
As for now, having experienced too much in a short time, Zhou Xingdou is somewhat exhausted and doesn't even want to stay in this Universal Holy Land any longer.
For the people of Chuyuan, perhaps only a day had passed, but for Zhou Xingdou, he experienced the attack by Tianjizi and then crossed the Martial Soul World to fight.
He then used the power of the stars to fight against Tianjizi, and finally encountered the calamity of the Universal Holy Land. Now he not only needs to rest, but also needs to take a good look at what he has gained today.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xingdou lowered his eyes slightly and said to Wan Tianzhou with a hint of languor:
"You'll have to clean up the mess at the Holy Land yourself. I'm getting tired."
"Okay, let's get together when I'm done with my work."
Wan Tianzhou did not stop him. As for words of thanks, he felt they were too cheesy. After all, given their relationship, saying more would be pointless, and it would be more practical to kowtow a couple more times.
Moreover, the rest is a matter for the Holy Land of the Universe to handle, so Zhou Xingdou's presence here is not of much significance. Wan Tianzhou, who is preparing to succeed as the Holy Lord, will probably be extremely busy as well.
Zhou Xingdou nodded slightly, too lazy to be polite, and turned to call out to Xiao Zuanfeng and Qing Yanjing:
"Little Drill Wind, Aunt Jing, come with me."
At this moment, Tianyin, standing behind Zhou Xingdou, finally noticed the timid Little Drill Wind. His eagle eyes lit up, and he quickly asked Zhou Xingdou:
"Young Master, what kind of strange beast has taken human form? Why have we never seen it before?"
It's an open secret that Tianyin is interested in exotic beasts. The nine ancient dragons of the Void that pull Zhou Xingdou's giant starry chariot were obtained by Chen Nong from Tianyin.
Zhou Xingdou didn't hide anything, after all, Tianyin wouldn't harm him, so he slowly said:
"The Extreme Wind Sky-Piercing Rhinoceros is an otherworldly monster; it's normal that you haven't seen it before."
Upon hearing that it was a monster from another world, Tianyin's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his gaze towards Xiaozuanfeng became somewhat fiery.
This terrified Xiao Zuanfeng, because Tianyin possessed an aura that instilled fear in beasts on a soul level, which was why Xiao Zuanfeng had never dared to approach Zhou Xingdou.
Being targeted by such a being, even Little Drill Wind couldn't help but tremble in his heart and looked to Zhou Xingdou for help.
Zhou Xingdou seemed to remember something, and before Tianyin could speak, he spoke again:
"By the way, it seems that Little Drill Wind has reached its limit and can no longer break through. Do you have a way to break through it?"
A look of joy immediately appeared in Tianyin's eyes. He was just wondering how to ask Zhou Xingdou to let him study this strange beast. Now, wasn't this exactly what he was looking for?
This saved him from being tongue-tied, so he immediately went along with Zhou Xingdou's words and assured him:
"Young Master, rest assured, as long as I entrust it to my subordinate for research, I will definitely push it beyond its limits!"
Little Drill suddenly felt a pang of anxiety and looked at Zhou Xingdou pleadingly, but Zhou Xingdou completely ignored his pitiful gaze.
"Alright, then I'll hand him over to you."
Zhou Xingdou naturally didn't understand Tianyin's research, and besides, as long as the Saint Realm War Slave didn't die, he could be resurrected in the system, so there was nothing to worry about.
After all, he also wanted to see if this little drill wind, which had been annotated to its limit by the system, could be reborn in Tianyin's hands.
In just a few words, Little Drill's fate was handed over to the fearsome Heavenly Hidden, leaving Little Drill feeling utterly dejected and sighing.
