Gun God Li Tianyi was anxious, and Wind Snow God King Ling Hanshuang understood this very well.
After all, a deity whose strength had already advanced to the Low-grade God King realm did not possess a suitable natal artifact.
This in itself was a rather regrettable matter.
Now that a divine artifact capable of forging a suitable weapon had finally been found, anyone would be anxious.
Therefore, Wind Snow God King Ling Hanshuang said, "You don't need to be too worried!"
"The forces from the territories are unlike us native beings; their promotion speed is incredibly fast! Even the advancement of deities does not take too much time!"
Upon hearing the Empress's words, Gun God Li Tianyi expressed his agreement.
At the same time, he was filled with envy and jealousy.
He had personally witnessed a Lord of a territory advance from the peak of the Monarch tier to the Saint tier in less than half an hour.
For native beings, such a promotion process would take at least three days.
Most terrifyingly, these Lords' advancements were not hindered by any realm constraints.
As long as they accumulated enough experience, they could successfully advance their tier.
In contrast, native beings of the Primal Continent had to comprehend the profound mysteries of Great Dao rules to advance.
However, if their realm was insufficient, they could very well stagnate.
Among native beings, he was already considered a top-tier genius, yet it still took him nearly four days to advance from the Monarch tier to the Saint tier.
At this speed, he was like a snail compared to the territorial forces.
The reason for this slowness was the constraint of realms.
The Immortal and Demon Kingdom was also a territorial force.
And the deities within the Immortal and Demon Kingdom were like being injected with adrenaline, their realms and strength soaring rapidly, reaching a level he could only look up to in an extremely short period.
Thinking of this, Gun God Li Tianyi unconsciously sighed, "If only I had such an ability, perhaps I would have hope of advancing to the God Lord realm in the future!"
Hearing this, Wind Snow God King Ling Hanshuang shot him a sideways glance.
Then, with a very calm expression, she said, "As far as I know, as long as one sincerely submits to a territorial force and follows a Lord, they can enhance their strength by killing enemies!"
"It is said that within the territorial forces, there are also unit evolution blueprints that can enhance talent, so if you wish to go, I will not stop you!"
These words caused Gun God Li Tianyi's expression to freeze, realizing he had spoken out of turn.
He quickly knelt on one knee in mid-air and said, "Your Majesty, Empress, please forgive me! Li Tianyi has long sworn to forever serve the Snow Domain Empire, and my loyalty to Your Majesty will naturally never change!"
He dared not agree with the Empress's words, as doing so might lead to him being easily killed by her, along with his established family.
After all, territorial forces and native empires were fundamentally in an adversarial relationship.
As the Empress of the Snow Domain Empire, no matter how magnanimous she was, she would not tolerate him submitting to a territorial force.
Wind Snow God King Ling Hanshuang said nothing more, merely snorted coldly and fell silent.
In this situation, one warning was enough.
...
In the capital of the Immortal and Demon Kingdom.
Nether Demoness Mo Youyou approached Xiao Mo and respectfully reported, "Lord Holy Master, Gun God Li Tianyi has arrived!"
"Beside him is a female deity whose strength has reached the mid-stage of the High-grade God King!"
Xiao Mo heard this and said with some surprise, "Another female deity, and she's mid-stage High-grade God King?"
This made him feel that there were indeed quite a few powerful female deities on the Primal Continent.
First, there was the Evil Moon Goddess Christina, then the Goddess of Destiny Ila, and the Queen of the Night Alice.
And now another female deity had appeared.
As for more powerful male deities, at least up to this point, Xiao Mo had not encountered any.
"Where are they now?"
Hearing Xiao Mo's question, Nether Demoness Mo Youyou quickly replied respectfully, "They are hovering thirty kilometers above our capital and have not approached further."
This made Xiao Mo frown, and he wondered aloud, "Why are they stopping there? Do they have any ulterior motives?"
He was still looking forward to receiving the six billion soul crystals from Gun God Li Tianyi. Yet, the person had arrived, but they were not approaching, remaining thirty kilometers above the capital.
Nether Demoness Mo Youyou pondered for a moment and then said, "I suspect they have sensed the aura of Immortal Sister, and thus are temporarily unwilling to approach rashly!"
Lin Er Zhu heard this, blinked slightly, and then nodded, "That should be the case!"
Xiao Mo's favorability towards Gun God Li Tianyi and the female deity immediately increased significantly.
To be honest, with Immortal Sister currently in a critical stage of advancement, he would indeed not allow these two Primal Gods into the capital.
Even if a transaction were to be made with Gun God Li Tianyi, it would definitely be settled outside the capital's protective array.
However, once Immortal Sister successfully advanced, Xiao Mo would naturally not mind.
With Immortal Sister's future strength as a mid-stage High-grade God King, coupled with her God Lord artifact, she could absolutely claim to be invincible below the God Lord realm!
Therefore, even if Gun God Li Tianyi and the female deity were allowed into the capital, Immortal Sister would be able to handle any unforeseen circumstances.
Moreover, within the capital, besides Immortal Sister, there were several other God King level deities like Mo Youyou.
"I imagine that female deity is one of the strongest deities in the Snow Domain Empire!"
After learning about the female deity's strength, Xiao Mo began to speculate about her identity.
"It's highly likely she is the ruler of the Ice Snow Kingdom!"
Xiao Mo had basically figured it out, but he was not entirely certain for the time being.
After all, being the ruler of an empire, why would she personally descend to the Immortal and Demon Kingdom?
Was she not afraid of encountering any dangerous unforeseen events?
If the ruler of the Snow Domain Empire were to perish here, the entire Snow Domain Empire would likely fall into chaos.
Although he thought this, Xiao Mo would not act on it, at least not yet.
After all, if he were to attack a native empire in the central region first, it would be equivalent to declaring war.
Currently, the Immortal and Demon Kingdom was not prepared for war with the native empires.
Subsequently, Xiao Mo did not ponder further and did not proactively invite Gun God Li Tianyi and the other to enter. Instead, he quietly waited for Immortal Sister's advancement to conclude.
This time, Immortal Sister had absorbed two divine cores, namely those of the Serpentman Beast God Ming Guang and the Lion Beast God Shi Biwu.
These two divine cores contained tens of millions of units of divine power, enough to push Immortal Sister's strength to the mid-stage, or even late-stage, of the High-grade God King.
Xiao Mo was very confident about this.
As for advancing to the peak of the High-grade God King, it was unlikely. At least two complete God King level divine cores would be needed for that.
Time flowed rapidly, and soon it was evening.
The divine might emanating from the place where Immortal Sister was in seclusion grew stronger and stronger.
As time passed, it finally reached its peak.
Then, Xiao Mo clearly felt a more powerful divine might sweeping across the entire capital.
"Finally successful!"
Sensing this, a brilliant smile appeared on Xiao Mo's face.
