The true nature of the matter, once investigated by the Divine Lords, would be the appearance of a Divine Lord realm entity within the Immortal-Demon Kingdom. This would undoubtedly astound all Divine Lords.
Huji currently felt a profound sense of envy and jealousy. She too desired to break through to the Divine Lord realm and had strived for it for over a hundred thousand years.
Alas, the arduous path to the Divine Lord realm was unspeakable, and she had repeatedly failed to achieve the breakthrough, remaining trapped within the God King realm. Many others, like her, were at the peak of the God King realm.
They all longed to ascend to the Divine Lord realm, but like Goddess Huji, they ultimately failed and remained confined.
"The troop promotion speed of the Immortal-Demon Kingdom is too formidable. If I possessed even a tenth of their speed, I would have become a Divine Lord long ago," Huji murmured, her beautiful eyes filled with a vacant stare.
The emergence of a peak God King within the Immortal-Demon Kingdom had already shattered her worldview. To then learn that this peak God King was attempting to ascend to the Divine Lord realm was utterly inconceivable. Her heart churned with a maelstrom of emotions.
As far as she knew, the Immortal-Demon Kingdom had only arrived on the Primordial Continent about a month ago. Yet, they were now on the verge of achieving something that would be a momentous event for the entire continent.
The influence of a Divine Lord realm powerhouse was enough to shake the entirety of the Primordial Continent.
And how many of the ancient Divine Lords had been born over countless eons?
In contrast, the Immortal-Demon Kingdom, in a mere month, was eclipsing the hard work of hundreds of thousands of years. To describe it as defying the heavens would be an understatement; the sheer magnitude of this speed was beyond comprehension.
Yet, whether the two goddesses believed it or not, the fact lay before their eyes.
A powerful, immortal-demon aura, accompanied by the divine might of a peak God King, emanated faintly from the depths of the Immortal-Demon Kingdom, in the midst of an ascension.
The two goddesses fell silent. They had never expected their journey to lead them to such an event, to witness others effortlessly achieving what they themselves yearned for.
Huji had to admit, she was consumed by jealousy.
Her yearning for the Divine Lord realm was intense, yet her pursuit remained fruitless.
"The territorial forces are under the protection of what they call the 'official.' This 'official' is too mysterious and special; it's likely the world's laws. Otherwise, how could territorial forces be so monstrously powerful?"
"But what is the purpose of the world's laws, to show such favor to territorial forces while we native beings receive no such regard?"
"We are the native beings of the Primordial Continent. Why must we watch as the world's laws protect outsiders?"
"As native beings, we can only envy their promotion speed. It's truly disheartening. Neither the Faith Gods nor the Primordial Gods possess such a pace of advancement."
Huji recalled her first visit to the Immortal-Demon Kingdom. At that time, the Immortal-Demon Kingdom had no God Kings; their most powerful deities were merely at the Divine rank.
Yet, in just a few days, such a transformation had occurred. Within the Immortal-Demon Kingdom, a Divine Lord wielding great divine power was about to emerge.
Once that entity successfully ascended, the Immortal-Demon Kingdom would be transformed beyond recognition.
The status of the Immortal-Demon Kingdom's Lord would reach a new zenith, a level where no power would dare to offend them lightly.
And this was merely a prediction of future changes.
Huji pondered, if a Divine Lord were to truly appear in the Immortal-Demon Kingdom, that Divine Lord could easily suppress the two of them.
Divine Lords were vastly superior to God Kings; their divine power levels were fundamentally different. One possessed mighty divine power, while the other wielded even greater, supreme divine power.
If the Lord of the Immortal-Demon Kingdom were to decide to suppress them, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The two goddesses exchanged glances, understanding each other's thoughts.
They wished to mitigate the risk and leave this place.
As powerful God Kings, their ability to sense impending danger was keen, and this skill had helped them evade many perils in the past.
"Perhaps it's best to withdraw. The intentions of the Immortal-Demon Kingdom's Lord are unfathomable; this person is too deeply hidden," Christina said. Xiao Mo had truly surprised her. He was the Lord of the Immortal-Demon Kingdom, and all its current achievements were orchestrated by him.
"Actually, a retreat might not be entirely necessary. We have no existing enmity, and the matter concerning the Beast Gods of Faith was their own doing. Even if investigated, it would at most be a case of poor management on their part."
"Furthermore, the ultimate goal of that mysterious Lord is already quite evident. He will undoubtedly confront the Primordial God of the Central Region in the future. Under such circumstances, he might not want to easily offend the Faith Gods, as it would offer him no significant advantage."
Hearing Huji's reasoning, Christina understood her point.
That is to say, if the Immortal-Demon Kingdom truly intended to act against them, the other Faith Gods would not stand idly by.
They were, after all, Faith Gods. To attack them would be tantamount to declaring war on all Faith Gods, and at that point, the Immortal-Demon Kingdom would be seen as a thorn in the side of all Faith Gods.
This was all because the Immortal-Demon Kingdom was a territorial force.
Normally, if the Beast Gods of Faith were bullied by other Faith Gods, the latter would not intervene. However, when it involved outsiders, a sense of shared destiny would arise.
"Given this, we need not rush our departure."
"Let us stay for now and observe the attitude of His Lordship, the Immortal-Demon Kingdom's Lord. If his disposition is favorable, we can proceed with our current agenda."
"Then we can consider deeper cooperation with him later."
As the two goddesses conversed, they finalized their course of action.
Their aim was to explore the possibility of cooperation with the Immortal-Demon Kingdom. For them, securing an alliance with a Divine Lord-level force for the Beast Gods of Faith faction would be highly beneficial.
Such an alliance would essentially grant their dominion the protection of a Divine Lord, allowing them to act with greater confidence and avoid being bullied by other factions that possessed Divine Lords.
The Beast Gods of Faith faction had long needed the patronage of a Divine Lord, and the imminent emergence of a deity in the Immortal-Demon Kingdom perfectly suited the goddesses' aspirations.
"The Immortal-Demon Kingdom is on the verge of having a deity; its future is bright. Cooperating with them would yield considerable benefits."
"However, the patronage of Ira, the Goddess of Destiny, remains a superior option."
"Not only is Ira, the Goddess of Destiny, ancient and powerful, but she also possesses extensive connections, such as her deep ties with the Nature Goddess faction."
"Considering all factors, we should still prioritize the Goddess of Destiny, Ira. If she favors the Beast Gods of Faith faction and offers her protection, then the Beast Gods of Faith faction would essentially have two formidable backers."
"Indeed..."
