"Greetings, Holy Lord!"
The Nether Demoness floated gracefully before Xiao Mo and paid her respects. She stood at least 1.75 meters tall, clad in black armor, exuding a formidable presence. In terms of beauty, only Xian'er surpassed her. Even Xian Qing'er and Mu Ya paled in comparison.
Besides the Nether Demoness, all other fully realized Immortals and Demons also approached Xiao Mo and bowed respectfully. The remaining fully realized Immortals and Demons appeared rather ordinary. Only one was a regular Immortal King-tier, with their fully realized strength at the level of a Low-grade God King. While this was impressive, it was nowhere near the Nether Demoness's power.
Among the rest, there were three Immortal Commanders and four Demon Commanders, their strength evenly distributed at the peak of High-grade God tier. The remaining Immortals and Demons, numbering over three hundred, were below Mid-grade Saint tier, with the others ranging from peak Saint tier to below Mid-grade God tier.
Clearly, these past forty days had been dedicated to reincarnating the Nether Demoness, a peak Mid-grade God King. Although the process took a while, Xiao Mo found it entirely worthwhile. He then proceeded to examine the Nether Demoness's detailed information.
[Special Demon Race: Nether Demoness]
[Current Growth State: Full State]
[Peak Growth Potential: Peak Mid-grade God King]
[Current Strength Level: Peak Mid-grade God King]
[Loyalty Value: 100 (Devoted)]
This information, though simple, would undoubtedly shake the entire territory's power structure if revealed. It would even shock the Pantheon of Faith Gods, the Primordial Gods' pantheon, and the entire Primordial Continent. After all, Xiao Mo had directly reincarnated a unit at the peak of Mid-grade God King. To be born at such a level was astonishing. Not only ordinary beings but even deities would be terrified.
Consider the Wolf God Baher, a God of Faith who had cultivated for countless years and survived ancient god wars. In this era, Baher was merely at the peak of Low-grade God tier. A peak Mid-grade God King Nether Demoness could easily defeat a hundred Wolf God Baher's with one hand. Most importantly, her power was not a result of cultivation but a direct reincarnation via the Immortal-Demon Reincarnation Pool, reaching the peak of Mid-grade God King. Any deity would be envious, even fearful.
However, these details were secondary. The crucial point was that the Immortal-Demon Kingdom's strength had once again received a massive boost. Even when directly confronting the empires in the central region, the Immortal-Demon Kingdom would now have a fighting chance. The thought brought a brilliant smile to Xiao Mo's face.
He then reviewed the information of the other reincarnated Immortals and Demons. The seven Immortals and Demons of similar tiers had largely identical basic information. While their strength was inferior to the Nether Demoness, they were at least God tier, which satisfied him. This round of reincarnation had directly boosted his kingdom's power significantly.
When Xian'er emerged from her seclusion, she would at least reach the peak of Mid-grade God King, potentially even High-grade God King. At that point, his Immortal-Demon Kingdom would become even more formidable.
Suddenly, Xiao Mo began to anticipate the expressions on the faces of the God Slayer and the God of Death when they encountered Xian'er and this Nether Demoness. Shock? Disbelief? Or perhaps terror? Regardless, Xiao Mo found himself looking forward to this war even more. He intended to use a god-slaughtering campaign to declare to the Gods of Faith and the Primordial Gods of the Primordial Continent that his Immortal-Demon Kingdom was not to be trifled with.
Looking at the Nether Demoness before him, Xiao Mo's mind conjured a name. "From now on, you shall be known as Mo Youyou!" He then bestowed names upon the other several God-tier Immortals and Demons, leaving the rest to name themselves.
"Thank you, Holy Lord, for bestowing names upon us!" The several God-tier Immortals and Demons bowed in unison, expressing their gratitude to Xiao Mo. To them, receiving a name from the Holy Lord was the supreme honor. After all, they were created by the Holy Lord; without him, they would not exist.
"Mmm!" Xiao Mo smiled and nodded. He then turned to the Nether Demoness, Mo Youyou, and said, "You do not need to participate in the war for the time being. Remain hidden and investigate the whereabouts of the God Slayer and the God of Death. If the opportunity arises, capture and eliminate them!"
"Yes, Holy Lord!" Mo Youyou replied with a serious expression, saluting. With a flash of dark light, a spear gleaming with an obsidian sheen appeared in her hand. This was the Nether Demoness's weapon – the Nether Spear. It was a true God King artifact, destined to be quenched and fed with divine blood. As a Nether Demoness, Mo Youyou excelled in slaughter and combat.
Before long, Xian Qing'er, Xian Meng'er, and Mo Jingjing, among other Immortals and Demons, returned to the Immortal-Demon Kingdom. The other Immortal-Demon units and the kingdom's army were stationed in several branch cities as per Xiao Mo's instructions. This way, they could act immediately when the war commenced the following day.
Concurrently, the teleportation arrays in all major cities had been activated. At night, if any local force dared to launch a surprise attack on a branch city, the armies stationed in other branch cities could immediately use the teleportation arrays to provide support. In short, any territory occupied by the kingdom's army would not be relinquished.
"Your Majesty..."
At this moment, a green silhouette suddenly appeared before Xiao Mo. Upon closer inspection, it was Mu Ya, the Spirit of the Natural Ancestral Wood, who had been in seclusion for a long time and had just advanced to the Mid-grade God tier. Since their intimate encounter, her address to Xiao Mo had changed from "Lord of the Territory" to "Your Majesty." However, at this moment, Mu Ya's beautiful face bore an expression of distress.
Xiao Mo smiled and embraced her slender waist, asking, "What's wrong? You're unhappy as soon as you emerge from seclusion?"
Mu Ya bit her lip, her cheeks slightly flushed, and said, "Your Majesty now has an increasing number of God-tier subordinates, not only many Mid-grade Gods but also several High-grade Gods and even God Kings. Yet, I have only just advanced to Mid-grade God tier!"
"Compared to them, my strength is simply too weak!" This was Mu Ya's greatest source of frustration. She had once been the sole Saint tier in the Immortal-Demon Territory, and a main general when Xiao Mo attacked the Dragon Clan. Now, although she had ascended to God tier, upon emerging from seclusion, she found so many God-tier beings already in the kingdom. Most importantly, even compared to other Immortals and Demons of the same cultivation level, she estimated she was not their match. Currently, in terms of combat power among the numerous deities in the Immortal-Demon Kingdom, she had fallen to the very bottom.
It wasn't that she was bothered by the rapid increase in the Immortal-Demon Kingdom's strength, but rather by how she could become more powerful in a short period and surpass those Immortals and Demons of God tier and above who were directly reincarnated. If she didn't improve quickly, she genuinely feared she would gradually fall behind in the Immortal-Demon Kingdom and eventually be forgotten by Xiao Mo. This was something she absolutely could not accept! After all, His Majesty had promised that she was a Princess Consort! Although not yet officially enfeoffed, their substantial relationship was undeniable. She absolutely could not lose her standing in His Majesty's heart. Hence, she was currently quite vexed.
Xiao Mo held Mu Ya's small hand and smiled, saying, "You are different in my heart from them. You don't need to worry too much about your own strength."
"But it's always better to be stronger! Because I also want to share Your Majesty's burdens!" Mu Ya sighed softly, "If only I possessed divine power as potent as Xian'er's!" As she spoke, Mu Ya looked at Xian'er with eyes full of envy.
