In the moments following the news, many of the Origin Gods of the Night Elf Empire were so shocked they could barely stand, their expressions a spectacle to behold. Some faces lit up with radiant joy, their emotions surging so intensely that their divine power escaped their control.
The Immortal Demon Kingdom territory, a mere faction, possessed not only a Divine King but also a Divine Lord!
How could this be possible? Reason told them it was utterly impossible.
Objectively speaking, the Divine Lord level represented the most powerful beings on the Primordial Continent. Even their Night Elf Empire, developed over countless millennia, currently boasted only one Divine Lord-level expert: their Empress Raven.
Yet, the Immortal Demon Kingdom had only arrived on the Primordial Continent a month ago, and now they possessed Divine Lord-level combat strength. This immense disparity and contrast sent shockwaves through their emotions.
If anyone else had delivered this news, they would have scoffed, dismissing the speaker as insane, for it was a near impossibility. A Divine Lord within a mere month was akin to a mythical legend in this world of gods, the Primordial Continent.
Although the distant continent was filled with countless marvels, each one capable of ruling over billions of beings in any corner of the world, it was a testament to how truly powerful a Divine Lord was. They not only ruled over gods but were the sovereigns among gods, governing innumerable star domains and constantly worshipped by billions upon billions of lives. Even among their divine followers, they commanded tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands!
Therefore, under such circumstances, convincing them that the Immortal Demon Kingdom, a place they considered unremarkable, harbored a Divine Lord capable of ruling the cosmos and looking down upon the star sea, was something they would never readily accept.
However, because the speaker was their Empress, they had no choice but to believe. After all, as their esteemed Empress, she had no reason to deceive them; it would bring her no benefit.
Moreover, they, the high-ranking officials of the Night Elf Empire, knew that their Empress deeply loved her kingdom and would certainly not mislead them into making a wrong decision that would harm the Night Elf Empire.
If she were to spread false information, the Night Elf Empire would end up forming an alliance with a force that possessed no Divine Lord, resulting in an immeasurable loss.
Thus, after much deliberation, they deeply believed their Empress.
It could be said that despite their profound shock, they ultimately accepted this reality, believing that the Immortal Demon Kingdom was indeed an incredibly powerful entity.
Consequently, having already grasped the existence of a Divine Lord, they were no longer surprised by the Immortal Demon Kingdom's abundance of gods and Divine Kings.
After all, they had already learned of the most extraordinary existence, the Divine Lord.
"Alas, this is beyond comprehension. The world has turned upside down. A territorial faction has become so powerful."
"No, no, you're mistaken. It's the Immortal Demon Kingdom that is powerful, not just any territorial faction."
"You're all thinking about it the wrong way. I believe it's simply the Immortal Demon Kingdom that is powerful. Besides them, which other territorial faction possesses gods or Divine Kings?"
"Facts tell me the Immortal Demon Kingdom is just that powerful. Their growth speed is unparalleled, making it impossible for anyone to catch up."
"Heh, in my opinion, the development speed of territorial factions isn't slow either. It's just that they are too insignificant now. But objectively speaking, their collective advancement to demigod status in just one month is terrifying, considering it took us thousands upon thousands of years to reach that level."
"That's true. We should indeed pay attention to the territorial factions. When the God War begins, we must be the first to eliminate them."
"Let's not dwell on that for now. Let's continue discussing the Immortal Demon Kingdom. For instance, their strength is certainly worthy of being taken seriously by the various factions."
"Even without a Divine Lord, with the sheer number of Divine Kings and gods the Immortal Demon Kingdom currently possesses, their strength could already rival some factions."
"Precisely. Without a Divine Lord, they would still be trash in our eyes. But now that they have a Divine Lord, things are different. With a Divine Lord, they can contend with us head-on. They are opponents of our caliber. Although their mid and lower-tier forces are still very weak, this top-tier combat strength alone is enough for us to take them seriously."
"Indeed, I agree with your assessment. Furthermore, I believe the matter of cooperating with the Immortal Demon Kingdom must be seriously considered."
"I have a feeling that if we can establish a relationship with the Immortal Demon Kingdom, our Night Elf Empire will gain considerable benefits during this God War."
"Exactly. We must indeed seriously consider the proposal of cooperation with the Immortal Demon Kingdom. I believe our Empress must also attach great importance to it, otherwise, she wouldn't have shared this with us."
The gods of the Night Elf Empire conversed amongst themselves. They were all important high-ranking officials of the empire, capable of supporting or opposing proposals in the council. Their opinions held significant weight in the matter of this alliance.
If they disagreed, even if the Night Elf Empress was the ruler of the Night Elf Empire, she could not obstinately insist on cooperating with the Immortal Demon Kingdom. She would face immense resistance, as the empire was ultimately not her sole domain.
In truth, these gods of the Night Elf Empire had initially paid little heed to the Immortal Demon Kingdom. When their Empress proposed cooperation with the Immortal Demon Kingdom, they erupted in outrage, deeming it utterly inconceivable to collaborate with a territorial faction.
Territorial factions were, as everyone knew, comprised of mere ants. A single god sent out could annihilate an entire territorial faction.
Even if the Immortal Demon Kingdom was the foremost among territorial factions, what of it? In their eyes, they were still ants. And what was the strength and status of their Night Elf Empire?
Even across the entire Primordial Continent, the Night Elf Empire's strength was second to none, capable of rivaling major divine factions.
They were like a colossal dragon, while the Immortal Demon Kingdom was an ant in their eyes. How could they, proud dragons, possibly cooperate with ants?
Did they not consider how powerful their Night Elf Empire was, and how vast its influence? Besides the surface-level Divine Lord combat power, the numerous Divine Kings, and the large numbers of gods, the entire Night Elf Empire was entangled with incredibly extensive forces.
