A divine realm was not the same as a divine kingdom.
A divine kingdom was the residence of a god, a divine space created by the gods of the World of Gods using their majestic divine force. Every blade of grass, every stone, and every object in a divine kingdom was condensed from the purest source of divinity.
Even the people inside were the souls of the most pious believers of the plane. After they died, the gods would guide their souls to the divine kingdom and use the omnipotent divine force to reshape their form.
It was precisely because the relationship between a divine kingdom and a god was too close that it became a strange space for the gods to exercise their will and continue their divinity.
To put it bluntly, a divine kingdom was the true body of a god, an indestructible and mysterious country used to protect their divine soul.
A divine realm was countless times worse than a divine kingdom.
Some gods who did not have enough divine force to open up an independent divine space in order to keep up appearances. They would cut out a plane from the material plane and use their divine force to separate it from the original world.
Some of the more 'wretched' gods did not even have the ability to infect the entire space with their divine force. It was enough for them to use their divine force to simply circle out a piece of land for their own use.
Magi would look down on such a space and call it a divine realm.
The God's Domain that the Feathered Serpent God had created was the worst among all the God's Domains.
There was no Divine Power, no Children of God, no Beast Transformation Pond, no Earthly Temple, no Holy Spirit Angel … The entire Divine Domain was exactly the same as the tropical rainforest of Heisen Plane. There was not even the slightest trace of Divine Power.
If not for the fact that he had just broken through the singularity, Grimm would have thought that he had fallen into a trap and was thrown into some forest by the Quetzalcoatl.
The nature of the space here was no different from the outside world, so the shadowfiend did not have to adapt to the laws of space here.
The shadowfiend turned into an erratic shadow once more, blending into the shadows of all living things as he slowly made his way to the core of the divine realm.
On a winding path in the forest, a team of male feathered snakes with bright scales and tiny electric sparks flapped their wings and wriggled their wriggling bodies as they passed through the dense forest.
In the area they patrolled, they could sense the terrifying aura of large carnivorous beasts. The bones of the beasts and piles of feces could be seen clearly. However, these ferocious beasts were clearly more afraid of the feathered serpent guards. As soon as they sensed the lightning aura that was about to be unleashed, they hurriedly hid far away, not daring to approach the patrol team at all.
The forest was not big, but it was not small either.
The wild beasts that lived in the forest were hunted down by the trolls in order to feed the feathered serpent god. As the totem of the Troll Clan, the Feathered Serpent God only needed to eat once a year. However, the amount of food it consumed each time was astonishing.
Hence, the Trolls had no choice but to capture all the large beasts in Degu Forest and keep them in captivity in this Divine Territory, waiting for the Feathered Serpent God to choose and enjoy.
The periphery of the Divine Territory was filled with tropical jungles, where countless wild beasts and birds were kept in captivity. In the core area, there was an open-air shrine full of troll style.
The number of Feathered Serpent Guards patrolling the area had also increased. It was almost to the point where there was a sentry every few steps. However, without exception, they were all male feathered serpents. There were no females, nor were there any foreign races.
Such feathered serpents were naturally enough to deal with ordinary intruders, but if they were used to deal with the miraculous Shadow Fiend, it would be no different from an uninhabited land.
The Shadow Fiend leaped from one shadow to another as if there was no one around. He then followed the patrolling feathered serpent guards and wandered around the open-air shrine.
There were long corridors made of huge rocks that weighed several tons everywhere, as well as feathered serpent statues standing on both sides of the corridors. However, these things obviously lacked enough manpower and servants to take care of them. Many of them had already been engulfed by weeds and spreading vines and moss.
Wild beasts were wild beasts, after all. Although they possessed a trace of divinity due to the gathering of faith power, the wild nature in their bones couldn't be extinguished.
The entire Divine Territory was like a large zoo. One couldn't see the magnificence and beauty of the Divine Kingdom on Earth, nor could one see the majesty and holiness of the Divine Kingdom. Even the air was filled with a foul smell.
Obviously, ordinary feathered serpent guards couldn't set foot in the resting place of the Feathered Serpent God.
Therefore, the Shadow Fiend escaped from the shadows of a team of Feathered Snake Guards and flashed into the shadows of the corner of the long stone tunnel. Then, he stealthily crept towards the area with the thickest stench.
It was an open-air shrine surrounded by huge rocks.
Green rocks that were more than a meter tall and three meters long and wide were simply stacked together, leaving a vast space of nearly 10,000 square meters inside. At the end of the tunnel was a stone platform. On the platform, there were all kinds of beast skeletons stacked on top of each other.
At the center of the skeletons was a giant egg that was as white as jade.
The feathered serpent god with white wings and light green snake scales lay behind the giant egg, using its long snake tail and thick wings to cover the giant egg. From time to time, it would spit tiny light blue lightning at the egg.
The Shadow Fiend didn't approach the platform. Instead, he hid in the shadow of a tall stone pillar on the side of the corridor, silently observing and sensing the Feathered Serpent God on the stone platform.
At this point, both Grim and the Shadow Fiend had turned off all active senses, leaving only some passive senses. They also narrowed their eyes into slits, only using the corner of their eyes to capture each other's position. They didn't look directly at the Feathered Serpent God.
It couldn't be helped. Divine creatures were very vigilant!
As long as danger befell them, divine power would send them danger warnings through various methods. Those more powerful divine creatures could even learn the source of danger and the vague process through divine power.
Those with the innate ability of prophecy were even more terrifying.
Even if its enemies were only plotting, planning, and had yet to carry out their actions. As long as the idea of harming it appeared in the enemy's mind, it would receive feedback of the world's danger, understanding and seeing through everything that might happen to it in the future …
Fortunately, the Feathered Serpent God clearly didn't have the innate ability of prophecy, nor did it have the ability to see through the trajectory of fate. Otherwise, it wouldn't have tolerated a mortal sneaking into its kingdom, spying on it, and plotting a surprise attack.
It wasn't easy to assassinate a God, even if it was just a native God … a Totem God!
Any slight movement could trigger the Feathered Serpent's divine power.
No matter what, this was the Divine Territory's space, and it had the most suitable spatial characteristics for the Feathered Serpent God to unleash its powerful power. If the Feathered Serpent God was given enough time to arm itself, the importance of the divine territory's space to the Feathered Serpent God was no less than the importance of the Wizard's Pagoda to the Wizards.
Thus, under Grim's guidance, the Shadow Fiend didn't rush to attack. Instead, he hid in the shadows and began to release the Shadow Pearl's power bit by bit.
The Feathered Serpent God was only Grade 4, while the Shadow Pearl was a Grade 5 Dark Sacred Weapon.
In terms of power alone, the Shadow Pearl was much stronger than the Feathered Serpent God's lightning power.
Thus, while the Feathered Serpent God was protecting the giant egg with all its might, the Shadow Fiend began to slowly but surely infect this space with its shadow power. The infection was slow and subtle, and any slight change would not be enough to alert the outside world.
However, as the changes continued and continued, the shadow power in the open-air temple's area was also strengthened bit by bit.
Darkness was everywhere, and the dark matter was the most infectious!
When all things got used to the existence of darkness, it was also the time when the dark power would slowly invade the hearts of all things!
The Shadow Fiend was like a Demon Hunter Spider that was extremely good at weaving dark webs, silently and soundlessly spreading the dark power. And it was hiding in the deepest part of the darkness, silently watching its prey …
It was waiting … waiting for a chance … a chance to distract the Feathered Serpent God …
And this chance would come soon, because … Mary's attack was about to begin!
In the Divine Territory, the flow of time was unpredictable.
Three days passed quickly.
As the Divine Territory was isolated from the outside world, Grimm and the Shadow Fiend had no idea how the outside world was developing. However, they could still make some guesses based on the Feathered Serpent God's reaction.
At some point on the third day, the Feathered Serpent God, who was resting beside the giant egg with its eyes closed, suddenly opened its eyes. It raised its neck and let out a sharp howl that shook the entire Divine Territory.
This howl was filled with anger, hatred, and the extreme violence of having its dignity repeatedly humiliated!
The Feathered Serpent God could clearly sense that a large number of faith nodes in its originally sparse faith network were extinguished one by one. The pained wails and despair of the Troll believers' prayers for protection surged into the Feathered Serpent God's mind, making its mood even more tyrannical.
It wanted to kill … It wanted to tear those invaders apart … It wanted …
As the Feathered Serpent God howled angrily, a large number of Feathered Serpent guards began to quickly gather, preparing to follow it into battle. As for the forest beasts in the Divine Territory, they all trembled in fear and hid in their nests, not daring to show their faces again.
