In his own Spatial Plane, the Power of Belief was refined and purified, transforming into an incredibly pure Divine Power. This Divine Power, unprecedented in its essence, returned to him and converged within his Heart of the God, accelerating the enhancement of his Divine Realm.
Under the influence of this Divine Power, the Spatial Prototype within Wei Chen's body became increasingly perfected. If things continued like this, perhaps in a few thousand years or even a few hundred years, he would be able to form a complete Spatial Plane.
Most importantly, Wei Chen had a vague premonition that his Spatial Plane would be of a high caliber, certainly not a low-level Spatial Plane.
The Spatial Plane, perfected and condensed through Divine Power, might even rival the Endless Divine Realm.
That was Wei Chen's secret; he would not be foolish enough to reveal his greatest secret to Senior Sea God.
Although he trusted Senior Sea God greatly, when it came to matters of life and death, he could not and did not need to share everything. The only one who knew about the Spatial Prototype within Wei Chen was Demon Lotus Emperor, and Wei Chen had complete trust in Demon Lotus Emperor.
To Senior Sea God, Wei Chen seemed to have inexplicably arrived in the First-Level Divine Realm. Senior Sea God had never encountered such a situation and could not make sense of it no matter how hard he tried.
"You really are something extraordinary. Honestly, with your level of cultivation, even the direct descendants of those Supreme Gods in the Endless Divine Realm are far behind. I can't imagine how strong you will become in the future. I look forward to you going to the Endless Divine Realm and carving out your own territory," Senior Sea God said, looking at Wei Chen with an expression full of anticipation.
Wei Chen smiled and replied, "Senior Sea God, you can focus on your cultivation in Mercury. Once I obtain the Heart of the God from a Secondary God or even a higher-level deity, I will come back to find you immediately."
"Alright, I'll wait for you." Senior Sea God no longer declined; he sensed that Wei Chen's emergence would stir up a storm in the Endless Divine Realm.
Who knows? He might truly obtain the Heart of the God from a high-level deity.
"Senior Sea God, I must return now; the Demon Domain needs my attention," Wei Chen said as he bid farewell to Senior Sea God.
Senior Sea God escorted Wei Chen to the entrance of the Spatial Tunnel and smiled, "Feel free to visit whenever you have time."
"I will."
Wei Chen nodded heavily, no longer hesitating, and stepped into the Spatial Tunnel.
In the Demon Realm, a time of peace and celebration had begun. It had been ten years since Wei Chen issued the Decree, marking the most chaotic decade in the realm's history. During these ten years, the relocation of the Three Great Clans and various tribes, along with the establishment of residential regulations based on strength, had all unfolded in a disordered manner.
Finally, after a period of turmoil, the Demon Realm regained its tranquility, filled with scenes of festivity and joy.
Above in the sky, Wei Chen's statue, the Phantom, continuously gathered Power of Belief. The people within the Demon Realm would kneel and pray towards Wei Chen's Phantom, seeking peace and safety.
The Dark Mage and Ji Dingxuan organized an army of two hundred million people, training daily in preparation for Wei Chen's grand plan.
Order was restored within the Demon Realm; everything appeared to be in perfect harmony. After the chaos, this rare calm enveloped the entire realm. At this moment, faith in Wei Chen reached its peak and remained at that height.
Upon returning to the Demon Realm, Wei Chen's first action was to enter his Phantom statue and absorb all the accumulated Power of Belief. Although it had been stored for two years, upon reaching the First-Level Divine Realm, his demand for Power of Belief surged. The two years' worth of accumulation could hardly satisfy his needs.
In just three days, all the accumulated Power of Belief was completely absorbed by Wei Chen.
Looking at the empty projection of his statue, Wei Chen sighed inwardly: "The Power of Belief within this Demon Realm is simply insufficient for my cultivation. It seems I must venture into other worlds to condense the Heart of the World and acquire more Power of Belief."
Wei Chen expanded his Mental Strength, which instantly enveloped the entire Demon Realm. He could "see" that two hundred million soldiers were training uniformly around Soul Beast Mountain. The Dark Mage, Ji Dingxuan, Ji Yuanxuan, Muen, and others were scattered throughout, carefully supervising. At any sign of negligence, they would personally step forward to question.
Their serious and responsible attitude yielded remarkable results; all two hundred million soldiers trained diligently without slacking off.
Seeing this massive army reassured Wei Chen. With such an army as support, he could smoothly venture into the Nine Immortal Realm. Conquering a Spatial Plane solely based on his own combat power was far from sufficient. Even if he eliminated all strong opponents in the Nine Immortal Realm, he would still be unable to control it or refine the Heart of the World. It was essential for his army to conquer the Nine Immortal Realm first; only then could he gain comprehensive control and pursue refining the Heart of the World—this was the true path to success.
"Grandpa and the others are quite dedicated; two hundred million Army, which has exceeded my expectations."
Wei Chen felt satisfied. The entire Demon Realm had stabilized, with the army gathering together, surpassing one hundred million. After a large-scale conscription, another hundred million was recruited. This was thanks to the efforts of the Dark Mage and others, but it was also Wei Chen's own achievement. If it weren't for the people's support, how could there be so many joining the army? If the Demon Realm weren't united and stable, how could such a large army be maintained?
The appearance of a Boundary God was beneficial for everyone within the Spatial Plane.
What they contributed was merely the Power of Belief, a force that posed no harm to humanity itself.
Wei Chen observed for a while, his gaze shifting towards the Endless Sea. The four major seas were under the jurisdiction of Sea Emperor Nanfeng, and in the South Sea Region, there was also an army of one hundred million undergoing training. Due to the lack of water in the Nine Immortal Realm, the combat effectiveness of the Sea Tribe Army would be weakened. Thus, Sea Emperor Nanfeng devised a plan to construct countless floating platforms across the vast sea, allowing the Sea Tribe Army to train on these platforms to adapt for future assaults on the Nine Immortal Realm's land.
Sea Emperor Nanfeng understood deeply that the Sea Tribe must venture out of their aquatic domain to achieve great success; being "trapped" in the sea held no promising future. If Wei Chen were to strike at the Nine Immortal Realm while the Sea Tribe stood by idly, they would miss out on all resources and benefits within that realm—an extremely unwise choice. Sea Emperor Nanfeng was well aware of the significant gap between the Sea Tribe and the demon race. If the demon race were to conquer the Nine Immortal Realm while the Sea Tribe remained stagnant, that gap would only widen.
That was a result Sea Emperor Nanfeng desperately wanted to avoid.
Thus, he sought every possible means to train an army ready for deployment. The floating platforms proved effective in helping Sea Tribe Soldiers adapt as much as possible to land combat.
Moreover, Sea Emperor Nanfeng had negotiated with Dark Mage that once his army adapted to training on floating platforms, they would transition to land training and be incorporated into Dark Mage's two hundred million Army. Combined, this would bring the Demon Realm Army to three hundred million.
That was a terrifying number—far superior to that of Nine Immortal Realm's forces. It should be noted that Nine Immortal Realm's military strength numbered only thirty million!
Three hundred million against thirty million—a ten-to-one ratio—gave the Demon Realm an unstoppable advantage in military operations.
However, the real challenge lay at the level of experts. Within Nine Immortal Realm, sects like Cloud Spirit Sect flourished; aside from the strongest Jade Emperor and Western Buddha, there were also dozens of Immortal Emperors establishing their own sects with vast influence. The high-level powers of the Demon Realm were simply not comparable to those of Nine Immortal Realm; this was something both Dark Mage and Sea Emperor Nanfeng understood. But because of Wei Chen's presence, everything seemed fearless. No matter how strong Nine Immortal Realm's upper echelons were, could they withstand a single strike from Wei Chen?
Yet neither Dark Mage nor Sea Emperor Nanfeng knew whether Wei Chen could intervene against ordinary experts within Spatial Plane due to his status as a Boundary God. Logically speaking, he shouldn't engage with such figures; otherwise, wouldn't it throw everything into chaos?
Despite the large number of the Army, the Dark Mage and Sea Emperor Nanfeng remained cautious. While training the Army, they were also doing their utmost to cultivate a powerful legion. Ordinary soldiers could occupy most of the Nine Immortal Realm's territory, but only a strong legion could truly defeat the high-level powers of the Nine Immortal Realm.
Perhaps "defeat" was not the right word; "confront" was more accurate.
The Dark Mage and Sea Emperor Nanfeng were navigating through uncertainty. Wei Chen only aimed to organize the Army for deployment to the Nine Immortal Realm, but he had no specific battle strategies in mind. The high-ranking officials, including the Dark Mage and Sea Emperor Nanfeng, felt uncertain. The only difference between having confidence and lacking it was whether Wei Chen would take action. If Wei Chen intervened, everything would be much simpler. If he did not, then this battle seemed to have little chance of success. The Dark Mage and Sea Emperor Nanfeng were worried but could not find Wei Chen. They could only diligently train their troops and build a strong legion; every bit of effort increased their hope.
Wei Chen observed the training of three hundred million soldiers and felt a stirring in his heart. Once upon a time, he had been a figure in Soul World, striving to protect the Ancient Dragon Sect by rallying various forces, relying on his intellect and Formation Assignment to maneuver against enemies. But now, he had ascended to godhood, becoming a Boundary God in the Demon Realm, at the first level of God-Level. This level was something he had never even dreamed of.
What changed him were the Senior Sea God, the Demon Lotus Emperor, and himself.
He had come to understand why those Deities from Endless Divine Realm failed to refine and absorb the Heart of the God for those in Cosmic Central Space Coordinate System while he succeeded in absorbing the Senior Sea God's Heart of the God and rapidly cultivated to First-Level Deity at an astonishing pace.
Upon careful reflection, everything had its roots; it was not inexplicable.
In fact, Wei Chen's success stemmed from the Spatial Prototype within him. That embryonic existence was fundamental for him to smoothly control the Demon Realm and rapidly elevate his Divine Realm. Without that Spatial Plane inside him, Wei Chen might not even qualify to become a Boundary God, let alone refine and absorb the Senior Sea God's Heart of the God or elevate his Divine Realm so quickly. If that were the case, the Senior Sea God would have perished in the Demon Realm at Sea God Palace without any chance to return to his Ancestor Realm Mercury.
In return for receiving the Heart of the God, Wei Chen granted new life to the Senior Sea God. In truth, Wei Chen did not owe anything to him. The Senior Sea God sought nothing from Wei Chen; he only hoped that Wei Chen would live well and not waste his Heart of the God.
However, Wei Chen was kind-hearted; he did not want the Senior Sea God to spend so long refining his Heart of the God. It was essential for him to obtain another Heart of the God for the Senior Sea God. Before that, he needed to control all of Cosmic Center's Spatial Plane so that he could venture into Endless Divine Realm with confidence.
Wei Chen had never been one to settle for being second best; once he entered Endless Divine Realm, he would strive with all his might for strength and victory!
