Fortunately, he was alone in the room.
His words would not be overheard by anyone else.
In fact, knowing Xiao Mo's personality, even if these words were heard, he wouldn't care, nor would he even bat an eye.
This was because ever since he entered the Primordial Continent, everything he used was top-notch.
It was likely that even his subordinates used the finest equipment.
If this wasn't a divine artifact with the attribute of [King's Divine Artifact], Xiao Mo might have given it to Xian Qing'er to play with.
Although the [Golden Armor] was beautiful, he couldn't wear it all the time.
Otherwise, it would be too ostentatious. He would even have to wear armor in his own palace.
It would be quite amusing if it got out.
With a thought, Xiao Mo's divine sense moved, and the armor on his body instantly became invisible.
However, the [Golden Armor] did not disappear; it remained on him, merely concealed.
Others simply couldn't see it.
This meant that if someone were to attack him now with physical force, he could withstand a million divine power and even reflect it back.
Having done all this, Xiao Mo walked out.
At this moment, the dozen or so Golden Goddesses at the entrance suddenly noticed a change in Xiao Mo's aura.
He had actually advanced from the mid-stage God King realm to the peak God King realm in such a short time, and there were even faint signs of an impending breakthrough.
The goddesses were astonished. His Majesty the King was so formidable, breaking through again in such a short period.
Truly worthy of being their great King; they felt fortunate to have such a ruler.
Xiao Mo entered the palace and saw Jin Xuan waiting there.
Coincidentally, he also had something to discuss with her.
Seeing Xiao Mo emerge, Jin Xuan stared at him with her wide, round eyes, looking utterly surprised.
Xiao Mo, puzzled, asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? Did something happen?"
Jin Xuan stomped her foot and hurriedly said,
"Your Majesty, don't you know yet? The world chat channel has exploded! Everyone is discussing your advancement from Kingdom to Empire!"
"Moreover, not only that, but the world announcement has been repeatedly broadcasting the Immortal Demon Empire's intention to expand its influence!"
Jin Xuan spoke with urgency and alarm, and it was clear she was extremely surprised by this news.
However, Xiao Mo, as the one at the center of it all, remained calm, even appearing somewhat bewildered as he said,
"Is there anything surprising about this? Keep at it, and once you develop further, you too can reach my current level."
Besides, he was likely the very first player on the Primordial Continent to begin establishing an Empire.
It was not surprising that the [Game Official] would broadcast such an event globally.
Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Jin Xuan felt a pang of frustration.
Look at him, was he speaking human language?
What did he mean by "once you develop further, you too can reach my current level"?
Did Xiao Mo truly not understand how invincible he was?
Jin Xuan felt that without Xiao Mo's help, even with several hundred more years, she wouldn't be able to keep up with his pace.
She knew that at this stage, let alone Empire-level powers, there were only a few hundred Dynasty-level powers.
Yet, there were billions of Castle Lords!
To become a Dynasty, one first had to obtain the Heart of the Dynasty and gain recognition from the [Game Official] before they could establish a Kingdom.
This was no simple feat. Those capable of establishing a Kingdom were usually favored by the laws of the world. Take Tang Weiwei's [Forest Garden] for example; it possessed special energy, and with the help of the Elven Goddess,
it transitioned from a Castle to a Dynasty.
However, the process of establishing an Empire, a hellish difficulty, was unimaginable.
Yet, despite such hardship, the one-in-a-billion chance fell upon Xiao Mo.
Within these short days, Xiao Mo could already rival the native Empires.
Anyone who saw this would be amazed and incredulous!
Yet Xiao Mo remained so composed.
Influenced by Xiao Mo, Jin Xuan gradually calmed down as well.
She was destined to be a woman of the King; she couldn't be as flustered as others.
Jin Xuan thought to herself, it seems she also needed to work harder.
Now, His Majesty the King was far ahead of her. If she didn't put in more effort, one day she would be left behind by him.
Even if His Majesty didn't abandon her, seeing the incredibly powerful goddesses surrounding Xiao Mo,
while she herself was so weak, she would eventually feel inadequate and not dare to remain by his side.
The mere thought of that scenario made Jin Xuan shake her head frantically.
No! Absolutely not! She would never allow such a situation to occur!
She would definitely cultivate diligently, catch up to Xiao Mo's pace, and stay by his side forever.
Xiao Mo, seeing Jin Xuan's expression shift from dejected to full of fighting spirit,
could easily tell what she was thinking. He reached out and comfortingly patted her hair.
However, his gaze turned to the distance, and he declared with determination,
"Establishing an Empire is merely the first step in my declaration of war upon this world. This is nothing yet. Greater difficulties undoubtedly await us ahead, so all of this must be approached deliberately and gradually."
"Establishing an Empire now is not our ultimate goal; it is merely a small starting point. What I, Xiao Mo, desire is the entire Primordial Continent!"
His words were full of grandeur and deeply inspiring.
If these words had come from someone else, Jin Xuan would have surely thought them overconfident and boastful.
But spoken from Xiao Mo's lips, Jin Xuan felt that these words would surely come true in the future.
Xiao Mo would undoubtedly become the ruler of this world!
This was Jin Xuan's most firm conviction at the moment.
Xiao Mo intended to establish a divine dynasty solely for Immortals and Demons on the Primordial Continent, unifying all divine systems on the continent.
This was his ultimate goal for the current stage.
Jin Xuan also envisioned that day and said with longing,
"If that day arrives, then our race war tournament should be over, right?"
However, Xiao Mo shook his head. "Over? That's not certain. The Primordial Continent is just one small world among the three thousand worlds. In the vast starry expanse, there must be tens of millions of worlds similar to the Primordial Continent."
"Even more so, there are higher-level realms than the Primordial Continent, though we cannot perceive or reach them now. When our strength truly becomes immense, perhaps one day we will be able to tear through space and time to reach the next world."
Jin Xuan was stunned by Xiao Mo's statement and stammered,
"R-really? In the starry expanse that we cannot see, are there other worlds?"
