Mo felt that his Immortal and Demon Empire was now the wealthiest entity on the entire Primordial Continent.
He probably surpassed even the Dragon Race and the Titan Race in wealth.
In truth, without the help of the world's laws and the [Game Official], they might have been so poor they couldn't even afford to eat.
After all, he still had to upgrade castles, buildings, and divine artifacts... each item was like a bottomless pit, incredibly expensive.
An ordinary person couldn't afford such expenses. Fortunately, Xiao Mo had some business acumen.
And a ruthless, black-hearted disposition. Otherwise, he would have ended up poor.
But now, everything was fine. His God Crystals were so abundant he couldn't use them all, more than enough for him to upgrade his divine artifacts.
Xiao Mo's expression shifted. His golden armor immediately materialized, and the King's Scepter appeared in his hand.
Looking at these two gleaming divine artifacts, Xiao Mo prepared to upgrade them once more.
However, as soon as he opened the interface, it displayed:
[Upgrading the Golden Armor requires five million God Crystals]
[Upgrading the King's Scepter requires four million God Crystals]
Seeing the God Crystals, which seemed like astronomical figures, Xiao Mo's earlier smugness vanished instantly.
"Damn it, it's so expensive! I can't even upgrade it a few times. Am I going to go bankrupt again!"
Within mere minutes, Xiao Mo felt as if he had plummeted from heaven to hell.
His mouth twitched incessantly, and his heart ached at parting with the God Crystals he had barely managed to accumulate.
Yet, the moment he thought about upgrading his kingly divine artifacts, which would allow him to better defend against enemies,
He instantly felt that it was not a big deal.
Without hesitation, he chose to use all these God Crystals to upgrade his kingly divine artifacts.
After all, making money was not a difficult task for him.
"Why worry about so much? Let's upgrade as much as we can now."
His first divine artifact was the Golden Armor, as he felt its utility was slightly greater than the King's Scepter.
[Sufficient God Crystals are currently available. Do you wish to upgrade the kingly divine artifacts?]
[Yes] [No]
"Yes!"
Immediately, a golden light flashed, and the data panel for the Golden Armor changed.
[Name: Golden Armor]
[Level: Peak High-Grade Divine]
[Divine Power Strength: One Million Points]
[Effect: Provides the user with highly effective defensive capabilities and can, to a certain extent, reflect incoming attacks]
[...]
After this round of upgrades, only ten million God Crystals remained.
Xiao Mo unhesitatingly used them to upgrade the King's Scepter, and its level changed immediately.
After both kingly divine artifacts were fully upgraded, their attributes had all transformed.
Xiao Mo looked with satisfaction at the two kingly divine artifacts, and the pain of having spent so many God Crystals disappeared.
He put on the Golden Armor again, feeling the energy emanating from it slowly flow into his body.
The defensive power of the Golden Armor had once again increased. Now, even if he faced the Extinction God Lord Blood Slaughter,
He would no longer be worried.
Although he couldn't defeat Blood Slaughter, he should be able to escape from his clutches intact.
Xiao Mo closed his eyes. The Golden Armor, radiating holy light, concealed itself beneath his skin.
No one could possibly detect that he was wearing a divine-grade Golden Armor.
Time flew by rapidly, and it was gradually nearing noon.
Less than fifteen minutes remained until the start of the [Otherworldly Evil Extermination Event].
At this moment, all the armies of the Immortal and Demon Empire were lined up before the plaza.
A vast crowd, stretching as far as the eye could see, bustling and thronging, filled the largest plaza.
Everyone was exceptionally quiet, their gazes fixed with fervor upon their King, Xiao Mo.
Their faces were filled with fanatical devotion. They, like their King, attached great importance to the [Otherworldly Evil Extermination Event].
Xiao Mo stood on the high platform, looking down at his subjects.
A surge of ambition filled his heart.
"To proceed to the [Otherworldly Evil Extermination Event], the first step is to find the spatial teleportation arrays. Only then can we enter the [Otherworldly Evil Extermination Event]."
"Xian'er, lead the Immortal and Demon troops to guard the vicinity of the spatial teleportation arrays. As soon as the time comes, immediately bring your men inside."
Xian'er, who had been accompanying Xiao Mo, immediately replied respectfully:
"Your will be done, Your Majesty!"
Then, Xian'er led the others to quickly search for the spatial teleportation arrays.
Since awakening, Jin Liuer had been following Xiao Mo like a fledgling chick, never leaving his side.
Her eyes, like those of a young deer, were teary as she gazed at Xiao Mo, filled with adoration.
Seeing such an expression on her incredibly beautiful face, Xiao Mo found it difficult to bear.
He said with a hint of trouble:
"Why don't you go and participate as well?"
Jin Liuer's personality had been restored by the Immortal and Demon Reincarnation Pool, and she had been influenced by Xiao Mo.
Therefore, the person she now revered the most was Xiao Mo, and she was unwilling to leave him.
Jin Liuer took Xiao Mo's hand, tilting her head to look at him with bright eyes.
"No, don't send me away. I want to stay here, by your side."
Xiao Mo's lips twitched incessantly as he looked at the playfully cooing Jin Liuer with utter speechlessness.
He seemed to recall that other divine and demon troops, when they were born, were not as clingy as Jin Liuer.
After the Immortal and Demon Reincarnation Pool restored Jin Liuer's personality, had she mistaken him for her father?
Looking at the young and beautiful white-haired goddess, the thought of her being his daughter sent shivers down his spine.
Although the Immortal and Demon Reincarnation Pool had birthed these divine and demon troops, it did not mean their ages were equivalent to their birth year.
These divine and demon troops were at least tens of thousands of years old. Although there were sayings like:
"A woman three years older, hold your gold brick. A woman thirty years older, give her the kingdom. A woman three hundred years older, give her immortal pills. A woman three thousand years older, join the ranks of immortals. A woman thirty thousand years older, the Queen Mother feeds you."
"A woman three hundred thousand years older, stand before Buddha. A woman three million years older, you rule the immortal realm. A woman thirty million years older, the Six Realms are yours to command. A woman three hundred million years older, Pangu is your younger brother."
While having her as a wife was acceptable, having her as a daughter was absolutely out of the question.
Therefore, Xiao Mo sternly rejected Jin Liuer's request and said:
"You are already a great goddess. You shouldn't be clinging to me all the time. You should have your own matters to attend to, like the other goddesses, and be an independent woman."
Jin Liuer looked at Xiao Mo with a dazed expression. Seeing his serious demeanor,
She suddenly became a little anxious, her eyes reddening, and she seemed on the verge of tears.
Xiao Mo had never encountered such a reaction. All the women he knew were noble and elegant.
Even the castle lords were as cute and cheerful as Tang Weiwei and Jin Xuan.
They never cried so easily. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
