While the Night Elf Empire was primarily composed of Night Elves, many other ethnic groups maintained friendly relations with it. For instance, many of its high-ranking officials were Tree Gods, Pegasus Gods, and various Dragon Gods. In short, the Night Elf Empire was internally complex, involving numerous factions.
One could imagine how powerful the Night Elf Empire was.
Therefore, these high-ranking officials were highly dismissive when they heard the Night Elf Empress propose cooperation with the Immortal-Demon Kingdom.
But now, their views had completely changed. The Immortal-Demon Kingdom had revealed its formidable strength, earning their recognition and respect. They now saw it as an equal, or perhaps a future equal, in terms of power.
Furthermore, there were no significant conflicts between them, making it entirely possible to forge a good relationship and form an alliance. This was unlike other factions that had complex interest conflicts with the Night Elf Empire and had long held grudges.
...
In the starry sky outside this Primordial Continent, within the Star City, the number of deities appearing was continuously increasing.
The clamor was immense. When deities spoke, their voices could shake the cosmos, their vast pronouncements echoing far even into distant star systems.
By now, deities had established their divine thrones in various locations, floating in the void.
This scene was remarkably novel.
Although there were many deities on the Primordial Continent, it was rare to see so many gathered at once.
After all, deities were not commonplace; becoming one required tens of thousands of years of cultivation.
"Ah, I haven't seen so many deities in years. I never expected this incident to attract so many."
"Look at that goddess; she is truly beautiful. Her aura captivates me."
"Look at the dragons of the Night Elf Empire; they are so mighty and colossal."
"Those are Night Elf Dragons; they are a branch of the Dragon race. But look over there, that's the true Dragon race; those dragons are even more powerful than the Night Elf Dragons."
"I think the major factions are making too much of a fuss. It's merely a divine kingdom being established, what's the big deal? Is it invincible or something?"
"We have divine kingdoms too, and ours are even grander."
"Moreover, our divine kingdoms already possess long mountains and rivers, and now we have billions upon billions in projects, truly becoming excellent places of worship."
In the void, deities conversed, some speaking aloud, others communicating telepathically with other deities.
Not all deities possessed exceptionally high foresight, so upon seeing these, less common figures, they too felt surprised and curious.
However, their focus remained on the purpose of these deities' presence: the colossal, newly established divine kingdom.
Indeed, the number of deities had been increasing from the outset and continued to do so. Many deities from distant regions had heard the news and come to observe this massive divine kingdom.
Currently, the number of deities who had descended into the outer realm had reached over 1.1 million. Their sole purpose was this divine kingdom, which was astonishingly large and newly built.
If the scale of this creation was not due to its recent construction, they naturally wouldn't have paid it much attention.
They too had their own divine kingdoms, and upon hearing of an incredibly vast one, they naturally felt compelled to come and see.
As deities, they couldn't help but be interested in such a peculiar phenomenon. Even deities possessed a strong sense of curiosity.
In the eyes of many, deities were aloof and unconcerned with earthly affairs. While this was true in a sense, as mortals were mere ants to them, when faced with matters concerning deities, they would gather like mortals to spectate.
...
Looking at Xiao Mo's divine kingdom, their expressions varied. They felt that the creation was truly enormous. When they had first become deities, they had contemplated establishing divine kingdoms. After preparation, they had built their own divine kingdoms during their divine ascension.
Compared to this colossal creation, spanning nine million kilometers, their divine kingdoms of tens of thousands of kilometers from back then seemed like mere specks of dust. Naturally, their emotions were complex.
However, after staying there a little longer, their moods gradually normalized. They learned that the owner of this divine kingdom was a Divine King from a territorial force. Due to rapid advancement, he had chosen to establish a divine kingdom at the Divine King stage, not as a deity.
If a deity could establish a divine kingdom of this magnitude, they would likely be stunned into silence and feel utterly defeated, believing themselves inferior. But since the creator was genuinely a Divine King, they felt it was acceptable.
After all, many Divine Kings' domains were this large, with millions of kilometers as a baseline.
"This creation is incredibly vast, and it's newly built, which is true. But in reality, that's all there is to it."
"If we had also waited until the Divine King stage to establish our divine kingdoms, then with enough divine power accumulated, we could certainly create divine kingdoms even larger than this one."
"Objectively speaking, that is indeed the case. However, we cannot deny that this individual's advancement speed is truly unprecedented. Alas, oh world laws, when will you protect beings like us from the Primordial Continent?"
"I believe what everyone here is saying is quite reasonable. The ability to establish such a massive divine kingdom is simply because he is a Divine King. However, his advancement speed is truly too fast. In just one month, which for us might be a mere blink of an eye, he has already become a Divine King. I don't know what words to use to describe his advancement speed."
"Indeed. His advancement speed has far surpassed any Divine King, and even any Divine Lord, that has ever appeared on the Primordial Continent. It is truly astonishing. I am envious and jealous of this speed from the bottom of my heart. If I could possess such advancement speed, I wouldn't have taken tens of thousands of years to become a Divine King..."
"Me too."
Deities from all corners were discussing, their complex gazes fixed upon Xiao Mo's divine kingdom, with a diameter of nine million kilometers.
But they were merely observing; no deity made any overstepping moves, unwilling to arbitrarily create a new formidable enemy.
