Chapter 1059

The direction of the Divine Nation's advance was not toward the Morning Star Divine System.

Some gods repeatedly studied the star map, finally concluding:

The Divine Nation of the Goddess of Eternal Night might be heading for the Elven Divine Realm!

"Could it be that the Goddess of Eternal Night's Divine Nation is going to join the Lord of Flame in the Elven Divine Realm?"

Some gods couldn't help but wonder.

These gods had no idea yet that the Goddess of Eternal Night had already joined the Lord of Flame's divine system.

Once the Goddess of Eternal Night's Divine Nation takes its position, these gods will surely be shocked.

Because that would mean the Lord of Flame's divine system now has two Fourth-Rank gods!

That would be an extremely powerful divine system!

At this moment, Lin Yan was still burning that fragment of law.

This thing couldn't be fully consumed in a short while.

This also demonstrated the power of law.

But for Lin Yan, the stronger, the better.

The stronger it was, the greater the boost to his combat power once he mastered this force!

The Goddess of Eternal Night remained in that space, accompanying Lin Yan.

She was also stabilizing her divine core and divine body, while refining more Fourth-Rank divine power.

During this process, the Goddess of Eternal Night occasionally lifted her head to glance at the blazing flames.

She could no longer see Lin Yan within the flames, but she did not worry for him.

Because she felt his soul was still here.

It was a powerful soul, radiating an aura that made her feel deeply comfortable!

From Tina, the Goddess of Eternal Night learned of Meng Ying's story.

"The Flame Empire became so powerful in just a few years—could the Divine Lord have other realms on the Continent of Gods?"

The Goddess of Eternal Night thought.

As a god, her perspective was far broader than Tina's.

The Goddess of Eternal Night believed Lin Yan might have other realms on the Continent of Gods—such as the Elven Empire, which she now knew of.

But there certainly wouldn't be any other great empire.

That meant the Flame Empire's growth had not relied on any other realm of the Lord of Flame, but had genuinely risen within three years.

"In three years, cultivating a girl into a Sacred Domain—more than one…"

The Goddess of Eternal Night thought of this again.

The more she thought, the more astonished she became!

Any one of these things was already inconceivable.

Two together were outright fantasy.

Yet now, fantasy had become reality!

No matter how you looked at it, it felt unreal!

Consider that even she, with her prodigious luck, had seized the accumulated power of the Morning Star Divine System over tens of thousands of years, and still needed her younger sister—a Third-Rank Sacred Domain—to help her build the Eternal Night Empire over a thousand years.

She herself had taken over a thousand years to reach the peak of the Third-Rank.

But how long had the Flame Empire taken?

Moreover, Meng Ying and the fox girl Qing Ling were too young—under twenty—and yet both were Sacred Domains; without the Lord of Flame's help, this was impossible.

Even she could not make someone become a Sacred Domain so quickly!

Humans were not abyssal creatures that could directly boost their strength!

If Sacred Domains were so easy to achieve, wouldn't the Continent of Gods be filled with them?

But in reality, out of a hundred million people, one might not even produce a single Sacred Domain!

Of course, the ratio of imperial population to Sacred Domains was not exact.

For example, the Eternal Night Empire, with three to four billion people, had only four Sacred Domains.

In a major empire, ten or so billion people yielded only one or two Sacred Domains.

This did not mean that only one Sacred Domain emerged per billion people.

Rather, some Sacred Domains refused to join empires.

Many Sacred Domains were naturally free-spirited and disliked serving under others.

Especially those with extraordinary talent.

For instance, the goddess Airen traveled alone.

The Goddess of Eternal Night found that the more she learned about the Lord of Flame, the less she truly understood him—and the more mysterious he became.

Moreover, she increasingly felt that the Lord of Flame had become a black hole, his aura of attraction pulling her in so strongly she could barely escape!

Of course, the main reason was that she herself did not wish to escape.

Time passed slowly.

In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.

In the Heavenly Realm, the matter of the battle in the Elven Divine Realm continued to spread.

More and more gods learned of this event!

In the Elven Divine Realm, the number of gods had not decreased—it had increased.

In the Demon Soul Divine Realm, the number of gods traveling to observe the Lord of Demon Soul's burning Divine Nation also kept growing.

Some gods, unwilling to expend their own power, sent their Holy Spirits to slowly fly over and cast their gaze upon it.

Simply casting a glance consumes little power.

Every god was deeply shaken.

Some gods regretted not having arrived at the scene in person.

Others set out too late; by the time they arrived, the battle was already over, which they also regarded as a regret.

Fortunately, other gods could use divine power to reconstruct the events of that moment.

Divine power is nearly omnipotent.

It can fully simulate the general course of that battle.

The gods who had not seen the battle watched with great interest!

Soon, another week passed.

Two weeks had passed, and the discussions in the Heavenly Realm had not subsided; instead, they grew even louder.

On the Continent of Gods, two weeks had passed, and the integration of the two empires was largely complete.

On this day, another significant event occurred in the Heavenly Realm.

In the Heavenly Realm, the number of divine domains is extremely large.

Yet the population of the Heavenly Realm is relatively small.

Most divine domains appear deserted in ordinary times.

Divine realms are all hidden.

Gods generally do not venture out; those who walk the Heavenly Realm are mostly holy spirits.

Although each god has many holy spirits, only a few are frequently dispatched.

In the Heavenly Realm, there is a special region.

This special region lies roughly at the center of all divine domains.

No gods reside in this divine domain.

The area of this divine domain is quite large—indeed, it can be called enormous.

Within this vast divine domain, there are only a few stone steles.

One of these steles is carved with a vast number of names.

The suffix of each name is "Empire."

This is the Stele of Empire Rankings on the Continent of Gods!

The fact that this divine domain is resource-rich yet unclaimed by any god suggests these steles are likely the joint work of the Primordial Gods.

Without an authoritative ranking for empire standings, everyone believes their own empire is powerful, and no one can convince another.

Yet in reality, the empire rankings on the Continent of Gods are quite clear.

This clarity is tied to this stele.
