At this moment, Xiao Mo utilized the vast, sea-like divine sense belonging to a Divine King to scan, completely suppressing these divinity cores filled with divine power using his own divine power, and then began to extract it!
Soon, divine power began to be rapidly drawn out from the divinity cores.
One drop... two drops... three drops... four drops... five drops...
Ten drops... a hundred drops... a thousand drops... ten thousand drops...
The quantity quickly reached a million drops!!!
And then two million... three million... four million... ten million drops!
By this point, the growth of the divine power gathered into a mass had significantly slowed. Originally, it had been visibly increasing in size with each passing moment, expanding in circles.
But now, it was only increasing slowly. Xiao Mo knew that the extraction of divine power was nearing its end, and most of the divine power within the divinity cores had already been drawn out, which was why the speed of the divine power mass’s growth had decreased so dramatically compared to before.
When the divine power of the last divinity core was fully extracted, Xiao Mo’s divine sense scanned the total amount of divine power before him, instantly grasping its exact quantity.
It was over ten million drops, an enormous figure.
If it were solely used for creating a divine kingdom, it would certainly be more than enough, even leaving a significant surplus.
However, it was also possible to use all of it to construct the divine kingdom, as the more divine power a divine kingdom required, the higher its level.
After all, it was impossible for the divine power to be absorbed without any change. Therefore, after absorbing sufficient divine power, the divine kingdom would naturally strengthen.
Xiao Mo calculated carefully. If all ten million drops of divine power were used to construct the divine kingdom, it could directly elevate his divine kingdom to a level corresponding to his divine position.
And his divine position was that of a Divine King. This meant that from the very beginning of constructing his divine kingdom, Xiao Mo would surpass all other deities, and his divine kingdom could be on par with those meticulously honed by Divine Kings over long periods!
While the foundation might not match that of ancient Divine Kings, and Xiao Mo’s newly constructed divine kingdom might lack inhabitants, thus offering little augmentation, its level would nonetheless truly reach the Divine King tier!
Divine kingdoms, just like deities, naturally possessed corresponding levels. For instance, there were divine kingdoms of the Deity tier, Divine King tier, Divine Lord tier, and Supreme Divine Lord tier.
Xiao Mo believed that even the Divine Position of the Creation God, spoken of in hushed tones among the immortal and demon soldier types, surely had a corresponding tier of divine kingdom.
Of course, Xiao Mo currently did not know whether the Creation God was a divine position far surpassing the Supreme Divine Lord, or simply a deity possessing creation divine power.
However, it was clearly undeniable that the Creation God must be related to creation divine power.
Returning to the topic, the levels of divine kingdoms were not solely differentiated by differences in divine power but also by immense disparities in various aspects.
Firstly, the size of the territory was a significant factor. Higher-tier divine kingdoms naturally possessed larger territories, capable of accommodating more inhabitants to thrive and develop into grander centers of worship.
The more inhabitants a divine kingdom had, the more fervent the faith it could bring to its ruler. More importantly, it allowed the ruler to borrow the blessings of the kingdom's inhabitants through special means during critical moments, which was the most crucial aspect of having a large population.
Speaking of the most important element, population, besides that, there was the defensive capability of the divine kingdom. As the divine kingdom upgraded, its defensive strength naturally increased along with it. This allowed it to possess the strength to resist attacks even if discovered by hostile deities, enabling it to hold out until the ruler’s arrival.
"Begin constructing the divine kingdom."
Xiao Mo sat upon the throne, exuding an aura of inherent majesty. This was not intentional; it was the natural emanation of a supreme ruler at a critical juncture.
As his words fell, he controlled fifty-six types of rule-based divine power, guiding the more than ten million drops of divine power into his divine body.
Indeed, the amount of divine power was immense. Even though the royal palace hall was vast, it occupied a significant space, forming an ocean of divine power!
After summoning these over ten million drops of divine power, Xiao Mo then revitalized his divinity core, allowing it to face this boundless ocean of divine power, invisible to mortals.
Compared to the ocean of divine power, the divinity core was as small as a needle. Yet, as the two made contact, a miraculous change occurred.
A primeval and ancient aura permeated the hall; the embryonic form of Xiao Mo's small world began to materialize!
Xiao Mo was now frantically channeling the ocean of divine power, using his divinity core as the foundation to condense the divine kingdom and sculpt the world!
This could be described as creation, for he was truly using his divine power as fuel to gradually build a real world!
Under the surging roar of the divine power ocean, its volume diminished, becoming the fuel for the increasingly real and distinct small world!
One meter...
Five meters...
Ten meters...
Fifty meters...
A hundred meters...
A thousand meters!!!
The small world expanded at an ever-increasing rate, its volume almost filling the royal palace hall!
Xiao Mo naturally would not allow this to happen. He raised a hand, lifting this small world he had just created, which was still voraciously absorbing divine power and growing, out of the royal palace hall. With a thought, it soared into the sky above the Immortal Demon Kingdom!
During this process, the small world continued to absorb divine power and expand rapidly, its territory continuously growing, and its footprint becoming larger and larger.
First, it reached a hundred kilometers, then quickly expanded to a thousand, ten thousand kilometers, and then tens of thousands, a hundred thousand, and over a hundred thousand kilometers.
However, at this point, Xiao Mo noticed something: this small world was becoming too vast, almost encroaching upon the sky of the Glorious Empire!
Such an event would inevitably lead to trouble, which Xiao Mo wished to avoid. Thus, he brought the small world to the extra-dimensional realm.
In a short period, it had grown into a world approximately one million kilometers in diameter, but this was far from its limit. Its expansion showed no signs of stopping!
Soon, it grew by another half, reaching around 1.5 million kilometers!
With a thunderous roar, this colossal, sky-obscuring entity continued to expand vigorously, like an explosion!
... Two million kilometers! ... Three million kilometers! ... Eight million kilometers!
It was simply terrifying!
