"The Greater and Lesser Magellan Star Systems have had their own established spheres of influence for hundreds of millions of years. The Divine Domain, as a power that has existed since time immemorial, has always been peaceful. A disturbance of this magnitude is truly astonishing!"
"This realm’s God King and its gods are all of mediocre strength. Where did they find the nerve to mobilize their forces so openly?"
"The data indicates it’s not a matter of external expansion, but rather points to internal strife. It seems some unknown power has redrawn the boundaries of the Star Realms."
"The AI’s analysis is essentially correct. Since this has nothing to do with us, we can ignore it."
In a distant galaxy, within a mysterious pocket of space, several shadowy figures conversed.
"But if we miss an opportunity like this, I’m afraid the next God King won’t be so timid and content to maintain the status quo."
"In that case, let’s start by instigating some friction."
"Indeed!"
Ripples spread through the mysterious space. The figures gradually dissolved into a cluster of starlight that merged into the vast, empty cosmos.
「Bright Divine Domain」
With a flicker, Zhao Rui vanished from his newly constructed palace and returned to Manghuang.
The Five Immortals were currently training Zhao Rui’s disciples, instructing them in Martial Arts and military strategy.
These strategies had been compiled by Zhao Rui himself and were highly practical. Their main principle was to use the small to defeat the great, encircling central regions from remote, outlying territories.
Several disciples who had completed their training had already returned to their home planets to set their plans in motion.
"Greetings, My Lord!"
Inside a humble dwelling, the Five Immortals greeted the long-overdue Zhao Rui.
"Rise."
Zhao Rui raised a hand slightly, lifting them to their feet before speaking. "I am now the Sun God King of the Divine Domain."
At his words, the Five Immortals were first stunned, then ecstatic. They all dropped to one knee again, bowing their heads. "Greetings, God King!"
"There’s no need for such ceremony," Zhao Rui said with a nod. "The plan has changed. We no longer need to operate in the shadows. You may all assist the disciples in seizing power."
His original plan had been to secretly amass power in case of an emergency. However, after his trip to the Divine Domain, he discovered the God King was pathetic. The king was only a notch stronger than the God of Light—not nearly as powerful as Zhao Rui had imagined.
So, he had simply become the King of Kings in the Divine Domain, seizing ultimate authority.
Of course, this authority was only relative. After all, the Divine Domain at large was unaware of his existence.
Only the other gods and the God King knew.
But that was enough. It was enough for him to brazenly carve out his own territory.
He didn’t know the exact location of Blue Star, but that wouldn’t stop him from gathering personnel to set up teleportation Arrays or space-time passages in promising regions.
As long as he could pick up a specific signal, he was willing to try anything.
"We understand!"
"Go on, then. Publicly, you will operate under the banner of the God of Light. I will handle the arrangements."
"Yes, My Lord!"
The Five Immortals bowed in acceptance.
Zhao Rui nodded. His figure slowly faded, and he departed from Manghuang once more.
His strength had advanced by leaps and bounds during this recent period of Cultivation and supplementing his Skill Points. After all, if the God King—who was a notch stronger than the God of Light—was helpless against him...
...then it stood to reason that the interstellar wanderer, Ajido, whom he had encountered before, couldn’t be that much stronger than him.
He didn’t know Ajido’s exact level of power, but he was now confident he could at least protect himself.
With this newfound confidence, Zhao Rui could finally act without restraint and begin his search for Blue Star in earnest.
Of course, he wouldn’t neglect his Cultivation during the search. He still hadn’t even begun cultivating the skills of the Divine Domain’s various gods.
And so, after only a few days, Zhao Rui arrived at the Star Realm belonging to one of the major gods: the God of the Earth.
