After laying the foundational environment of the divine kingdom, Xiao Mo departed from within it.
Now, Xiao Mo's divine kingdom possessed most of the elements of the real world.
Heaven and earth, flora and fauna, mountains and rivers, plains and highlands, swamps, and elements such as metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as light and darkness.
In short, it had all the basic necessities. However, it would require much more refinement later on.
But that was no longer Xiao Mo's concern. His immortal and demon troops would undoubtedly do a better job.
His own strength was, after all, limited.
Next, Xiao Mo retracted his divinity. By now, his divinity had established an absolute connection with the divine kingdom, allowing him to communicate with it completely through his divinity.
Even in the real world, entering the divine kingdom was now just a matter of thought. However, one had to find a relatively hidden location, as entering the divine kingdom in plain sight could easily expose its location. This was a consensus among all deities.
All deities knew that one should never reveal the location of one's divine kingdom to untrustworthy individuals. After all, it was difficult for other deities not to covet a divine kingdom, let alone those one was not familiar with.
...
Afterward, Xiao Mo left the void world and returned to the place in the real world, which was that region of outer space.
Upon arriving, Xiao Mo was slightly surprised by the scene. He noticed many deities looking at him with expressions of surprise and amusement.
Then, bursts of loud laughter erupted. However, the laughter was clearly not directed at him but at someone else.
Xiao Mo followed their gaze and saw that it was the deities of the evil faction.
Why were the deities of the evil faction being laughed at?
Xiao Mo expanded his divine sense and soon picked up the voices of everyone.
"Hahahaha, now that the Lord of the Immortal Demon Kingdom has returned, your Qianxun is still completely useless."
"Didn't you say your Qianxun could find the way? Now that they've returned, your Qianxun is still completely useless. It's utterly laughable."
"Hehehehehe, the evil faction has lost face this time. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to show my face again."
"I originally didn't want to laugh, but I really can't help it. I haven't seen something so funny in years."
"The evil faction made such a big fuss with a divine artifact capable of capturing divine kingdoms, yet they still couldn't capture the divine kingdom of the Immortal Demon Kingdom's princess. What a slap in the face!"
"Indeed, indeed. They were so confident before about capturing the Lord of the Demon Kingdom and even planned to kill him. Now it seems truly comical."
"Is it because of that Qianxun, or is there another reason?"
"Yes, yes. Ignorant of worldly affairs. They say there's nothing much wrong with Qianxun, nor with how the evil faction used it. So where is the problem?"
"In my opinion, the problem lies with the Lord of the Immortal Demon Kingdom himself. This person holds so many secrets, not only advancing at an astonishing speed but also possessing methods far beyond ordinary deities."
...
As Xiao Mo listened, the immortal and demon troops also spoke.
"Holy Lord, the evil faction brought out Qianxun, a divine artifact capable of locating divine kingdoms."
"However, we know that if even the Goddess of Destiny cannot see through your destiny, how could Qianxun? It's likely that Qianxun cannot capture your thread of destiny."
"Therefore, we knew it could only lead to this outcome."
Xiao Mo nodded slightly, finally understanding what had happened.
He couldn't help but sneer inwardly. To be honest, he was somewhat surprised that the evil faction could find such a divine artifact.
However, their luck was truly terrible to have it used against him.
Setting aside the possibility that the divine voice of destiny might have helped him, even if it hadn't, his thread of destiny was inherently unfathomable. By what right could Qianxun capture the location of his divine kingdom?
Moreover, even if it were found, his divine kingdom was not for mere play. If the evil faction could truly find it, it would only be their path to damnation.
At this moment, the deities of the evil faction also noticed that the Lord of the Immortal Demon Kingdom had indeed returned.
They then looked at Qianxun, which was emitting light, their expressions becoming extremely complicated.
They never expected this artifact to be truly unable to lock onto the location of this Lord's divine kingdom, which was unacceptable and incomprehensible to them.
After all, this was a divine artifact personally bestowed by the Lord of Annihilation, Xue Tu! And yet, they were being told it was ineffective. How could they accept this?
Just then, a figure emerged from the evil faction and said, "Lord of the Immortal Demon Kingdom, we have been waiting for you. There are some matters for which you must give us, the evil faction, an explanation."
The aura of this figure was extremely powerful, reaching the peak of a high-grade God King, making him a formidable deity.
...
The surrounding millions of deities, seeing that the main character had returned and was about to clash with the evil faction, couldn't help but watch the spectacle.
"Heh heh heh, how dramatic. The evil faction's divine artifact was completely ineffective."
"I must say, it's quite amusing."
"Is a battle finally about to break out?"
"Who is this deity?"
"This deity's aura is so powerful, reaching the peak of a high-grade God King."
"There are still some powerhouses in the evil faction."
"I recognize this deity. It's Lerna, the God of Annihilation!"
"What! It's Lerna, the God King Lerna, whose divine position is at the peak of a high-grade God King!"
"It's the God King Lerna, the God of Annihilation who once slew a peak high-grade God King!"
"That's right, it's him. He actually appeared today."
"Lerna is not a deity of the evil faction. Why is he stepping forward for them?"
"Yes, this is truly surprising. Let's wait and see. Hahaha, this is really exciting."
"Today was truly not a wasted trip. I get to witness so many interesting things."
Undeniably, Lerna's appearance made today's events even more spectacular. Not only were there so many interesting developments within the territorial forces, but there were also embarrassing incidents involving the evil faction.
Now, an invincible God King had stepped forward, intending to target the Immortal Demon Kingdom.
However, many deities were very curious as to why Lerna would step forward.
After all, Lerna was not a God King of the evil faction. Instead, he was a God King from another faction called the Fading Faction.
