In the underground palace, a boy of twelve or thirteen years old sat cross-legged on the ground, his round eyes tightly shut.
At this moment, an incomparably powerful divine might emanated from him, carrying boundless power.
When the divine might receded, the divine might on the boy's body had also changed.
He had advanced from the lower stage of Divine King to the middle stage of Divine King.
After advancing his realm, the boy opened his eyes, and a flash of light flickered in his coppery-red pupils. He said with joy,
"Goddess Sister Highness, I succeeded!"
This boy was Dou Xiaodou, the lord of the Goblin's Abode, and the goddess sitting beside him was Ira, the Goddess of Destiny.
The Goddess of Destiny, Ira, had been by Xiaodou's side, silently guarding him as he advanced his strength.
Dou Xiaodou's castle was currently only at the level of a high-level main city.
However, his strength far surpassed his castle, and he had now reached the Divine King level.
This abnormal phenomenon occurred with Dou Xiaodou.
It was not because of his extraordinary talent, but because he had now become the sole heir of the Goddess of Destiny, Ira.
With the help of the Goddess of Destiny, Ira, and the laws of the world, Dou Xiaodou was not restricted by the power of his territory.
Therefore, the Goddess of Destiny, Ira, stayed by his side, guarding his advancement.
He no longer needed to rely on the power of his territory to improve his strength.
Thus, he no longer focused his heart on his territory but concentrated on improving his strength.
The reason why the Goddess of Destiny, Ira, took a liking to Dou Xiaodou was that when the sixty billion castle lords descended upon the Primordial Continent, she had set her sights on two people.
One was Dou Xiaodou, and the other was Xiao Mo.
She intended to cultivate them into her heirs.
However, Xiao Mo's performance was completely beyond her control, and he was clearly unsuitable to be the next God of Destiny.
Therefore, she shifted her gaze back to Dou Xiaodou and happily began to nurture him.
The Goddess of Destiny, Ira, stroked Dou Xiaodou, looking at his obedient smile, feeling a sense of pride in her heart.
It seemed her judgment was truly excellent.
Although Xiao Mo did not become her heir, he relied on his own strength to become a overlord of the Primordial Continent in a short period.
And Dou Xiaodou, though slightly lacking, had, with her help, far surpassed other lords and reached the middle stage of Divine King.
He was now on par with Xiao Mo.
At this time, the Goddess of Destiny, Ira's, information flow was too slow, and she was unaware that Xiao Mo had already reached the peak of Divine King, just one step away from becoming a Divine Lord.
She still thought Dou Xiaodou had kept pace with Xiao Mo.
Seeing Dou Xiaodou perform so well, she was in a good mood and praised him,
"Yes, our Dou Xiaodou is truly amazing!"
However, as soon as her words fell, she suddenly seemed to sense something, frowning slightly, her expression solemn.
The Goddess of Destiny, Ira, felt the mysterious aura and immediately looked up in a certain direction, her gaze profound.
Dou Xiaodou, who had been enjoying her gentle praise, suddenly saw the Goddess of Destiny, Ira's, expression change drastically.
Anxiously, he asked,
"Goddess Sister Highness, what happened? What's wrong?"
The Goddess of Destiny, Ira, patted Dou Xiaodou's hair reassuringly and spoke with a slightly dry voice,
"I sensed a new Divine Lord aura, and that aura is coming from near the central area."
That central area was near the Immortal-Demon Empire.
If she hadn't sensed a trace of the Immortal-Demon troop's scent within that Divine Lord aura,
she might have hesitated, wondering if this newly emerged Divine Lord was from another force's advancement.
The Goddess of Destiny, Ira, rubbed Dou Xiaodou's head, her palm involuntarily starting to sweat.
"Xiaodou, it seems your Brother Xiao Mo has another Goddess-level Divine Lord."
Dou Xiaodou's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he said excitedly,
"Really? Brother Xiao Mo really created another Goddess-level Divine Lord?"
"He's truly too powerful."
Dou Xiaodou praised without hesitation.
"I knew Brother Xiao Mo would definitely be the most powerful!"
Seeing Dou Xiaodou's admiring gaze, the Goddess of Destiny, Ira, couldn't help but sigh slightly.
This little brat was truly something. As soon as she mentioned Xiao Mo, this usually intelligent little brat would seem to lose his soul.
He could only praise and seemed to see nothing else, completely ignoring the main point of her words.
The Goddess of Destiny, Ira, rubbed her temples with a headache and then murmured,
"Do you know that is a Divine Lord-level Immortal-Demon, possessing infinite power."
"If this news were to spread, it would definitely stir up another wave of turmoil on the Primordial Continent!"
"You only know how to praise your Big Brother Xiao Mo and don't think about anything else."
A Divine Lord-level deity was a terrifying existence. Only a few Divine Lords existed in the world.
Even the ancient and powerful Titans would surely be wary of the current Immortal-Demon Empire.
Dou Xiaodou, having been reprimanded, playfully stuck out his little tongue and said,
"What's there to be afraid of? As long as we don't provoke the Immortal-Demon Empire and don't make Xiao Mo angry, he definitely won't hurt us."
"As for others, they must have intentionally provoked the Immortal-Demon Empire, otherwise, Xiao Mo would definitely not harm them."
Unexpectedly, the Goddess of Destiny, Ira, flicked Dou Xiaodou and chided him slightly,
"You little brat, is this what I'm trying to say? The gears of the Wheel of Destiny have accelerated, and the future God of Destiny should be thinking about this, not about your Big Brother Xiao Mo all day!"
Dou Xiaodou pouted, but in the end, he didn't say anything and obediently listened.
"Alright, I understand, Goddess Sister Highness. I will definitely be good. Don't be angry."
Seeing Dou Xiaodou's obedient demeanor, the Goddess of Destiny, Ira, softened and said slowly,
"Xiaodou, the holy war is about to begin. My changes will be very significant then. You must grow up quickly so that you can protect yourself."
"And peacefully become the next God of Destiny!"
