Just then.
The golden light of promotion in mid-air slowly dissipated.
Soon, nearly twenty god-tier Immortals and Demons descended from the sky, landing around Xiao Mo.
Among them was Mo Youyou, the Nether Demoness, who had been guarding them.
Of course, there was also Mu Ya, the spirit of the Ancestral Wood of Divine Might.
"Greetings, Holy Lord!"
The Immortals and Demons respectfully saluted Xiao Mo. Mu Ya flew to his side and stood quietly shoulder to shoulder with him.
Xiao Mo smiled in response.
As of now, there were over forty Immortals and Demons at the god-tier or above in the Immortal Demon Kingdom.
Among them, Xian'er and Mo Youyou were both at the God King tier or above.
There were seven at the high-grade god tier, eleven at the mid-grade god tier, and the rest were at the low-grade god tier.
This time, after killing the Serpentfolk Beast God Mingguang, all the god-tier Immortals and Demons who participated gained immense benefits.
After this battle, the overall strength of the Immortal Demon Kingdom had increased significantly, which made Xiao Mo very happy.
At this moment, every god-tier Immortal and Demon had a brilliant smile on their faces, and their gazes towards Xiao Mo were even more fervent.
They had gained great advancements, and all of these were bestowed by the Holy Lord.
Without the Holy Lord's bestowal, they did not know when they would be able to further improve their strength.
They believed that as long as the Holy Lord was present, they would quickly be able to advance again to become even more powerful deities, and then they could better fight for the Holy Lord across all realms!
"Alright, since everyone's strength has improved, let's go to the battlefield and support the army!"
Xiao Mo said to the assembled god-tier Immortals and Demons, "But you cannot directly participate in the war. Just hide yourselves. If the enemy has any deities descending to attack our army, then you will directly act to kill the enemy deities!"
Generally, deities would not interfere in wars between ordinary beings.
The Saint tier was already the peak combat power among ordinary beings.
Once deities participated, it would inevitably trigger a divine war.
However, it was impossible to guarantee that no deity would break the rules and attack the Immortal Demon Kingdom's army.
Once this situation occurred, the Immortal Demon Kingdom's army would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
Therefore, Xiao Mo sent these god-tier Immortals and Demons to provide support precisely to protect the Immortal Demon Kingdom's army from divine attacks.
Of course, it would also be good if they could kill a couple more ignorant Faith Gods.
If they encountered such Faith Gods, it would be an unexpected gain.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mo turned his gaze to Mo Youyou, the Nether Demoness, who exuded a chilling aura, and said, "Youyou, you go with them too!"
With Mo Youyou, a peak mid-grade God King, Xiao Mo could completely rest assured of the Immortal Demon army's safety.
"As you command!"
After respectfully saluting, Mo Youyou led the god-tier Immortals and Demons away.
Mu Ya, who was by Xiao Mo's side, also voluntarily followed them to the battlefield.
She also wanted to try her luck on the battlefield and test the limits of her current strength.
After all, let's not forget, although this spirit of the Ancestral Wood of Nature was stunningly beautiful, she was a violent woman at heart.
Xiao Mo did not stop her, as he did not want to keep Mu Ya like a canary. She belonged to nature, so she should return to her true self.
As long as she did not cause trouble and did not trigger a divine war, there would be no problem.
The descent of over forty deities into the Dark Forest and the Extreme North Ice Plains respectively was a terrifying matter.
These deities alone could sweep through the allied kingdom forces in both regions.
However, Xiao Mo would not let them truly enter the battlefield.
He would only have them hide in the sky to prevent enemy deities from sneak attacks.
After all, they were all deities. If they casually interfered in the war, it would disrupt the existing balance. Moreover, even if they killed a large number of Saint-tier powerhouses, they would not gain much spiritual energy, so it was completely unnecessary.
These enemies of ordinary beings would all be treated as experience fodder for the kingdom's army.
He wanted to use the kingdom forces within the two regions, along with their Saint-tier and Monarch-tier powerhouses, to cultivate a large number of Saint-tier and god-tier troops.
After all the god-tier troops had moved out, Xiao Mo suddenly felt a bit bored.
He thought for a moment and decided to open the [Myriad Races Trading Platform] to see if there was anything worth buying.
After browsing for a while, Xiao Mo bought a few decent special building blueprints and then directly constructed them in his capital city.
As for the blueprints, equipment, and other items he had put up for trade, they were also gradually bought by people.
As of now, his reserves of territory resources had reached fifteen billion units.
This included approximately eight billion units of lumber, fifty billion units of stone, and twenty billion units of iron essence.
This was still a considerable distance from upgrading the [Advanced Main City] to [Primary Imperial City], but it was not too far.
Xiao Mo was confident that once they captured the Dark Forest region and the Extreme North Ice Plains region, and cleared out all the forces in both regions, they would definitely be able to gather enough resources to upgrade to [Primary Imperial City].
Next, Xiao Mo opened the [World Chat Channel].
After scrolling through it for a while, Xiao Mo noticed that the news of his killing Mingguang had spread throughout the world.
Not only were local forces from all over the world aware of it, but also the lords of various regions. Everyone knew that an alien force had a deity at the peak of the high-grade god tier, and that the Serpentfolk Beast God Mingguang from the Faith God faction had died in the Immortal Demon Kingdom.
Seeing this, Xiao Mo realized that those Faith Gods must also be aware of it.
After all, they were gods, and it was quite easy for them to gather information.
Regarding this, Xiao Mo suddenly had an urge to scold the system.
Just for killing Mingguang, the system had directly given him world-renowned fame, pushing him directly into the spotlight.
He had originally planned to lie low for a while longer, and kill the God of Slaughter and the God of Death along with him. Now, it seemed that this plan might become more difficult.
These two would definitely become cautious after receiving this news.
He didn't want them to withdraw from this long-planned war, that would be a loss.
However, Xiao Mo also understood that there was nothing he could do.
Minguang was, after all, a peak high-grade god-tier deity. Gaining a large amount of fame for killing him was inevitable.
What he hoped for now was that the God of Slaughter and the God of Death would not be too cowardly, and would continue to plan carefully in the demon realm, awaiting the final decisive battle.
With the overall strength of the Immortal Demon Kingdom skyrocketing, Xiao Mo's confidence also swelled.
He no longer needed to worry about the God of Death and the God of Slaughter. Instead, he was afraid that the two of them would slip away.
However, a message in the public channel still caught Xiao Mo's attention.
Many territorial forces in the Dark Forest region had not evacuated but had formed an alliance, appearing quite confident.
Presumably, they must have deities behind them!
Since that was the case, he would have a good time playing with these deities in this decisive battle!
