As the team captain, Lin Xiao had the authority to determine the battle order. He could choose for them not to participate and sweep the field himself, he had the confidence to do so.
But he did not do that, instead he looked at them and said:
"Since we’re all here, it wouldn’t be good to do nothing. I only need you to take the field once, and survive one victory. I will take care of whatever opponents are left afterward. You all just need to defeat one opponent."
Looking down at them with a commanding gaze, Lin Xiao pointed behind him and continued:
"The generals are watching you. This is a test for you, and those who can survive it have a promising future."
With a gesture, energy converged into a... lottery tube that flew in front of them:
"It’s all about luck. The lots have numbers; whatever number you draw decides the order in which you’ll go up. It’s all up to chance."
The ten people exchanged glances, and Yu Dongshan, who was closest to the tube, stepped forward and drew a lot showing the number 7.
The rest proceeded to draw their lots calmly, neither depressed by drawing number one nor excited about drawing number nine. Lin Xiao himself was number ten.
Minutes later, the Insect Race on the other side was also ready, and their leader, equivalent to someone with Powerful Divine Power, watched Lin Xiao with an aggressive gaze, his tentacle-like hands opening and closing in the air. A strange voice, like a multitude of voices overlapping, arose:
"I didn’t expect humans to have such a young master too. I can feel that you are even younger than me. Unfortunately, unlike you, I, having inherited a portion of a Dominator’s power, cannot be resisted by ordinary Powerful Divine Power. I will soon make you realize that this choice will be the one you most regret in your life."
As the creature spoke, its aura grew increasingly powerful, and the God Realm of the Insect Tribe’s Son began to manifest. A vast shadow slowly extended from its body, surging toward the center of the vortex.
General Luan Wanqing focused intently on the immense shadow emerging from the Insect Tribe Divine Realm’s Son, his brows furrowing ever deeper.
When he turned to look behind, an old handsome man, dressed in a vest and wearing slippers, appeared behind him, speaking in a respectful whisper:
"Your Excellency, that Insect has inherited a portion of a Dominator’s power. Its strength is now no less than that of any seasoned being with Powerful Divine Power. I wonder about Lin Xiao...?"
The old handsome man rubbed his chin, looking at Lin Xiao who was similarly unfolding his own God’s Realm and integrating it into the vortex to confront the opponent, a smile breaking out on his face:
"At this moment, the other side is probably more anxious than you are!"
Luan Wanqing and the surrounding generals grasped the situation in an instant, relief mingling with their surprise.
Around the vortex, as the two powerful God’s Realms connected, an immense spatial shockwave exploded, and both figures disappeared in an instant.
The nine remaining elites on both sides eyed each other before the elite ranked number one from the army shouted:
"I’ll go first!"
He took a step forward, loudly challenging the opposition.
Naturally, the Insect Race was not to be outdone and also sent forth an elite. The God’s Realms of both sides began to interlock, entering the God’s Realm War.
Within the God’s Realm, Lin Xiao’s grand and authoritative Divine-mandate instantly spread through the vast God’s Realm, stirring excitement among the many races there that had lived and propagated for countless years at the sound of their long-awaited Divine-mandate.
As Kin of the God Realm, they certainly knew what their sacred duty was.
But it had been over a thousand years since they last went into battle, and in that time, even their races had evolved and transformed. They hadn’t had another chance to fight since then.
Fortunately, the God’s Realm was large enough now; otherwise, the millennia might have been spent in idleness.
At the issuance of the Divine-mandate, the various God Realm Kin scattered throughout the God’s Realm began to mobilize, converging at a specified location along the realm’s edge indicated by the Divine-mandate.
Unlike the typical battles within the God’s Realm, this predetermined battle allowed facing parties to freely choose the positions of the God’s Realm gateways. Both sides could prepare beforehand and face each other in an upfront and straightforward battle.
Within another layer of the God’s Realm, the True Gods of the Divine Realm had long been ready, each sending forth their Avatars while their True Bodies awakened from slumber, poised for battle at a moment’s notice.
With years of development and enhancement, the Magic Net was now fully integrated across the entire God’s Realm. Lin Xiao lifted the restrictions on the Magic Net, allowing any Kin to use the teleportation spells within to travel to the various rally points, and then massively teleport close to the interdimensional channel via Star Spirit Mages.
After so many years of evolution, the total number of Lesser Naga had surpassed six billion, spread throughout the entire God’s Realm, not only in the Main Divine Realm but also present in all the subsidiary realms. They were the first Kin to arrive at the dimensional channel.
The next to arrive were the Star Spirits, a race where everyone is an Arcanist. Soon after the first group of Lesser Naga arrived, the sky was filled with Arcane Luminescence as massive Mage Towers appeared out of nowhere, soon packing the airspace densely.
Before long, a large swath of the sky warped, and a colossal shadow of a Floating City loomed, barely visible as it hung in mid-air.
Space being limited, it was not teleported directly, but it could be summoned at any time if needed.
And there were a total of four such Floating Cities.
Not that they couldn’t be built, or there weren’t enough Great Arcane Mages to preside over them, but the construction of Floating Cities was limited by the availability of Nesser Cores.
Even though Lin Xiao had a fair number of Nesser Cores at his disposal, a portion of those belonged to the assets of the Huge God Regiment, and public resources couldn’t be used for personal ends.
Nevertheless, it didn’t matter. For Lin Xiao at this stage, having a few more Floating Cities would not significantly enhance his overall strength. After all, his total number of Kin had grown over hundreds of years to near the scale of the Giant God Combat Team, comparable to an entire regiment including its official True God members, millions of Demigod reservists, and the combined power of myriads of followers within their territories.
Without going into details, just within the God’s Realm, there were now as many as 23 million Titan Lesser Nagas, of whom at least six million were mature.
Remember that a mature Titan Lesser Naga’s strength is comparable to that of a Rank 10 Demigod!
Although they haven’t been cultured long enough to produce a Titan, nearly six million Demigods is still a force beyond what other Sons of God’s Realm could imagine.

It is extremely difficult to give birth to existences above a True God, due to the limitations of the upper limit of the Divine Realm, and the strength of True God Level Powerhouses is restrained by the Divine Realm. Generally, even within the Divine Realm of a seasoned holder of Powerful Divine Power, there are not many True God Level Clan members, and their strength is mostly limited. It is extremely rare to have Medium Divine Power; typically, only big shots with top-tier support like Xie Tianyan can develop their Divine Realm to such an extent.
After Lin Xiao’s God’s realm integrated the remains of four or five ancestors, it was not only incredibly vast, but also unusual in terms of God Domain Strength. It was now barely able to support entities comparable to those with Powerful Divine Power, but it could not be Powerful Divine Power itself.
In plain terms, Lin Xiao’s God’s realm, refined from the Ancestral Remains, had indubitable Space Strength. It could support a bunch of existences comparable to Powerful Divine Power without issue, and even those at the level of Super Divine Power could be barely supported.
However, Powerful Divine Power is tied to the rules corresponding to Godhood, which are unrelated to space. Lin Xiao’s God’s realm might be strong, but the rules cannot support the birth of Powerful Divine Power.
But this is only temporary. The upper limit of rule support is related to the Divine Realm Master, and as long as Lin Xiao’s God Level becomes higher and the rules he controls become more complete in the future, by then, it would be sufficient to support the birth of Powerful Divine Power.
Many Star Spirit Mages who had arrived earlier joined forces to cast a large-scale barrier under the guidance of over ten Rank 10 Great Arcane Mages. They covered an area of thousands of kilometers near the two-world passage within the barrier, assembling the Little Naga corps in preparation.
At the same time, ripples started to appear on the two-world passage, and a faint light flew out, quickly condensing into an Insect shadow.
It was not the Son of the Insect Tribe Divine Realm, but a Rank 10 Insect. He looked down at all directions, seeing the densely packed floating Mage Towers in the sky, the projections of several Floating Cities, and the vast number of elite soldiers on the ground, his expression subtly changed as he shouted to the sky,
"The Divine-mandate of the King of Ten Thousand Kings, the supreme, will launch an attack in one year!"
After finishing, his figure transformed into a streak of light and shot towards the two-world passage.
At that moment, the space at the top of the dome distorted slightly, and a faintly glowing face appeared. The Star Spirits in the void and the legions on Earth saw the face in the sky and knelt down in frenzy, shouting praises to the Father God, supreme above all.
Lin Xiao nodded slightly, and with a flicker in his gaze, the space near the two-world passage rippled slightly. Time stood still, and the streak of light that was about to leave through the passage suddenly froze.

In the next second, the stagnant time within the range began to reverse, and soon the light that turned into an Insect shadow froze in the void. The dignified gaze in the sky stared directly at the Insect shadow, now solidified in time like amber. After a few seconds, the Insect shadow collapsed abruptly and disappeared, and the vast face also slowly faded.
In the heart of the God Country, seated on the Supreme Throne, Lin Xiao carefully analyzed the memories forcibly taken from the Insect shadow just now.
In its memory, on the opposite side of the two-world passage was a Super fortress sprawling thousands of kilometers wide, with the two-world passage located at the central War Plain of the fortress. Countless Insect Race troops on the War Plain were gearing up for battle.
Above the vast fortress, densely packed Insect flying dragons gathered into an ocean of dragons, and troops of Insect soldiers were arriving outside the fortress, looking from afar like ants lured by honey on a vast flat ground.
Just as he remembered about the Insect Race, there were huge numbers, millions strong, gathered on the other side of the two-world passage.
There were the common Cannon Fodder Worker Insects, the flying dragon groups in the sky, huge siege insects and beasts, various remote giant insects, and some advanced Insect members.
The Insect Tribe Divine Realm’s civilization differs from that of humans; Human Divine Realm civilizations are not allowed to use humans as Clan members. In fact, except for humans, all Divine Realm civilizations within the Chaotic Void Sea can use their own race as Clan members. The same goes for the Insect Race, which can use their own kind as Clan members, and the clan of the Son of the Insect Tribe Divine Realm can be elevated to become new Sons of the Insect Tribe Divine Realm.
This adversary was clearly a standard Son of the Insect Tribe Divine Realm who, before the start of the war, even took the time to notify us of the time of attack, showing considerable grace.
Naturally, Lin Xiao had no complaints. One year in the God’s realm was just enough time for him to prepare more thoroughly.
A year had flown by in the blink of an eye, and the many clans scattered across God’s Domain had, with the help of millions of Star Spirit Mages, gathered near the battlefield. Nearly fifty thousand Mage Towers and four Floating Cities joined together and split into four parts around the four directions of the battlefield. When the time came, more mages would join them to cast super war spells together.
Standing at the forefront of the battlefield were not the Lesser Naga, but the massive quantities of battle puppets and golems that the Star Spirit Mages had accumulated over the years—countless Stone Golems and tens of millions of Steel Golems formed an endless steel torrent.
With the seven-star ancient Miracle Card—the Gemini God Card—and the nearly non-stop casting of Breeding Cards, the total number of Star Spirits in the Divine Realm today had reached as high as eight million. Discounting the underage, there were nearly three million adult Rank 8 mages; with years of accumulation, the total number of magic puppets and golems had surpassed one hundred million.
Star Spirits mature as Rank 8 and have a maximum of Rank 10. After centuries, the majority of Star Spirits had matured, amounting to nearly three million Rank 8 Mages or Arcanists, with several hundred of them being Great Arcane Mages.
Although they were not as monstrous as the Titans and Naga who reached Rank 10 at maturity, they were definitely a legendary race as powerful as the Dragon clan.
Besides, there was also the vast Angel Army born from the Angel Birth Pool: Sixth Level Battle Angels, Eighth Level War Angels, and Rank 10 Giant God Angels.
If placed in someone else’s Divine Realm, these angels should have been serving as Divine Envoys, but within Lin Xiao’s Divine Realm, the God Realm Kin were too strong; even the highest Rank 10 Giant God Angels couldn’t defeat any just-matured Titan Naga.
With insufficient strength, they were doomed to be cannon fodder.
When the year’s time arrived, space near the interdimensional passage began to distort, and a powerful aura from the other Divine Realm started to slowly emerge, forming a halo that gradually spread.
This was the power of the Insect Tribe Divine Realm, forming a domain under the control of that Divine Realm’s Son from the opposing side. It was akin to a clash between the domains of the two realms, capable of forcibly altering the opponent’s Divine Realm’s rules to favor the Insect Race.
The prerequisite was to be sufficiently powerful. If one’s own Divine Realm was not a match for the opponent, the consequences would be...
The newly formed halo had barely spanned a few kilometers when Lin Xiao’s sheer overwhelming God Domain Strength forcefully suppressed it, allowing no progress. After a few seconds, it slowly retracted.
"Boom!"
A mighty force burst forth from the passage between the two realms, materializing as an enormous Pillar Sky hand that viciously crushed down.
Lin Xiao pointed his finger, and the descending Pillar Sky hand instantly froze in mid-air, motionless.
"Hmm?"
An uncertain voice emerged from within the interdimensional passage as an even more powerful force was activated, but the Void remained utterly still.
"Boom!"
The interdimensional passage exploded, expanding its diameter from less than a hundred meters to over a thousand kilometers in an instant. A substantial colossal pincer stretched out from the passage, surrounded by surging energy. The pincer slowly pushed forward as if piercing through glue, and with its advance, the newly formed halo spread gradually.
From the perspective of the Lesser Naga on the ground, it looked like a tremendous pincer, measured in kilometers, was slowly emerging from the passage into their world, as if a demon god had descended, and the world was being corrupted by its power. Swarms of Insects swiftly followed the expanding halo, pouring out from the passage to attack the patiently waiting Golem Legions.
Alemente, the lofty Magic God, snorted coldly and issued the command to his clans to engage. The Golem Legions, in their resolute formations, lifted their heavy feet and moved forward fearlessly.
