The Goddess of Night smiled faintly, saying nothing more.
In her view, time would prove everything, and by then, the Elven Empress would understand.
Could she understand the Elven Empress's thoughts?
Because she herself had once been equally arrogant, disregarding the powers of territories.
It was only later that her views changed.
The Goddess of Night, in the beginning, had also held great disdain for territorial powers. However, the growth of the Immortal and Demon Kingdom had surprised her, and after conversing with the Goddess of Destiny, Ila, she learned of the Immortal and Demon Kingdom's various glorious futures.
It was then that she began to truly value territorial powers.
Therefore, she could empathize with the Elven Empress's arrogance.
She asked herself, if not for the Goddess of Destiny, Ila, would she have paid any attention to these territorial powers?
After all, to a Divine Master like her, territorial powers were truly insignificant; a single deity dispatched from her subordinate forces could annihilate them all.
.............
The conversation reached its end, and the Goddess of Night prepared to depart.
She scanned her surroundings, a look of emotion appearing in her beautiful eyes.
She had to admit, she felt a deep connection to this place.
After all, it was here that she had chosen the location for her divine temple when she first became a god.
Looking closely at this place, it was inevitable that she would feel a sense of nostalgia.
However, that was all there was to it. Her feelings for this place and the dark elves were no longer strong.
The Goddess of Night then left, not even bothering to see if any familiar elves had survived.
The Elven Sacred Tree, Belen, stared at the spot where the Goddess of Night had departed, remaining silent for a long time.
But ultimately, she said nothing more about it. Instead, she turned her gaze to the Elven Empress and said, "Your Majesty the Empress, I believe what the Goddess said is very reasonable. Cooperating with the Immortal and Demon Kingdom would be immensely beneficial to us."
The Elven Empress's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this. Her exquisitely beautiful face was like a placid well, her deep eyes like a serene pool, betraying no hint of joy or sorrow.
"Mm," she responded softly, but said nothing further.
This matter involved too many considerations, and she would have to discuss it thoroughly with the empire's higher echelons.
After all, this was an empire, and the decision could not rest solely with her as Empress.
The thoughts of those high-ranking officials also needed to be taken into account; acting arbitrarily was not feasible.
The Elven Empress then also departed from the area.
"Alas, times have changed. I wonder how the God War will unfold. I can only hope that the dark elf race can endure and prosper. However, I do believe the Goddess's words, and I think the Immortal and Demon Kingdom will surely rise in the future to become a powerful aid to our dark elf empire."
The Elven Sacred Tree said, then closed its eyes.
.................
The capital of the Immortal and Demon Kingdom was immensely grand.
It was precisely midnight, and moonlight bathed the kingdom, yet it remained somewhat dark, the atmosphere tinged with an eerie quality.
Within the Sovereign's sleeping chambers in the capital, Xiao Mo awoke from a dream.
He then tidied his attire and left the chambers.
All because he had sensed a gaze.
It was from a mysterious being, seemingly watching him from the distant darkness.
"I believe my senses are not mistaken. After all, I have become a God King, and beings at this level possess exceptionally keen perception."
Xiao Mo murmured.
Simultaneously, he began to ponder who it was that was targeting him.
However, after much thought, he found no answer.
Furthermore, he was not overly concerned. This was not only because the Immortal and Demon Kingdom had numerous deities and several God Kings, but also because he himself was a powerful God King.
Of course, these were not the most crucial factors. The most important was Xian'er, who had already reached the Divine Master realm. Xiao Mo could summon her instantly if he wished.
"No matter what realm the enemy is, as long as they are not a Supreme Divine Master, I have nothing to fear."
Xiao Mo said to himself in his heart.
He indeed had the confidence with his current resources. Xian'er was now capable of battling against a high-grade Divine Master.
If the enemy was a low-grade or mid-grade Divine Master, Xian'er could even achieve a kill.
If a God King were to arrive, then the other forces within the Immortal and Demon Kingdom could handle it.
However, Xiao Mo remained cautious.
He decided to temporarily enhance his strength to become even more formidable.
As for the fastest way to increase his strength at the moment, it was to absorb those mysterious laws.
Xiao Mo entered a grand hall and took out those divine power law orbs.
In the next moment, more than fifty divine power law orbs floated around him.
Each divine power law orb contained a divine power law, all extracted from Xian'er's divine cores.
Xiao Mo looked at them, smiled slightly, and then began to examine these divine power law orbs.
[Found a total of fifty-six divine power law origins. Do you wish to absorb them into your divine core?]
[Yes] [No]
Xiao Mo chose [Yes] without hesitation.
Then, those law orbs floated directly towards Xiao Mo, one after another, shooting into the center of his brow.
That was the location of his divine core.
Subsequently, these divine power laws would transform into his regulated divine power. It is worth mentioning that divine power laws are also known as regulated divine power or divine power rules.
Xiao Mo had previously mastered four types of regulated divine power.
..........
Not long after, Xiao Mo successfully absorbed those divine power laws.
He used his divine sense to observe his divine core in his mind. It now contained sixty types of regulated divine power.
"Satisfactory."
Xiao Mo smiled faintly, then withdrew his divine sense. He now possessed sixty types of regulated divine power, which had increased his divine power by several times.
Now, relying solely on his own strength, he should be able to directly crush a mid-grade God King.
"My divine core is truly too powerful."
"I can freely absorb regulated divine power. This is something other deities will forever envy. If they knew, they would likely go mad with jealousy."
Xiao Mo murmured. He could freely absorb and increase new regulated divine power entirely because his divine core was exceptionally special.
Indeed, divine cores with special properties were not uncommon. For instance, solar deities could master light and fire, but such special deities could only master at most two types of regulated divine power.
Xiao Mo, however, had already reached sixty types of regulated divine power, and this was far from his limit. One could imagine how monstrous Xiao Mo's divine core was.
"At this moment, I am unprecedented, and no one can compare to me in terms of the number of regulated divine power, can they?"
Xiao Mo whispered, acutely aware of his divine core's monstrous nature.
In the history of the Primordial Continent, there had been Divine Masters who attempted to master more regulated divine power.
But in the end, even powerful Divine Masters failed, causing severe damage to their divine cores.
