However, even Ye Luo himself wasnât sure of the size of his Divine Kingdom. This wasnât due to a lack of control over his own Divine Kingdom but rather that he simply hadnât had the time to check.
He used to know only that the base occupied a large chunk of the Divine Kingdom.
Of course, the current Divine Kingdom is not just expanding through efforts of the red Ancestral Spirit; the base has been continually expanding the territory since its establishment.
This results in Ye Luo not knowing what his Divine Kingdom looks like at this point.
"Letâs find a place to settle down first!" Ye Luo said to the small beast.
After all, whether itâs destroying this world or accommodating living beings, it canât be accomplished in one go.
Having spent many years in the cave, Ye Luo didnât mind spending more time here.
The passage of time here is akin to that within the caveâfaster than the outside world.
The small beast naturally didnât object and led him to the peak of a towering mountain, entirely covered in ice and snow, devoid of humans and any creatures.
The small beastâs tough skin and thick hide made it immune to the harsh cold, and Ye Luo was even less concerned.
Neither bothered to build any shelter such as a shack; instead, they simply settled down in this icy and snowy landscape.
Only then did Ye Luo recall to check his Divine Kingdom.
The base wouldnât show itself, but the Divine Kingdom was unharmed as the totems were uninterested in it.
This was the first time he checked the Divine Kingdom since entering the cave.
Upon entering it, he was immediately stunnedâwas this still his Divine Kingdom?
In his mind, the Divine Kingdomâs size was limited, comprising primarily the base and a stretch of forest, with little else!
But now, standing above the base, it seemed boundless!
Moreover, the base had entirely shrunk down or was nowhere to be seen, with even Ye Luo unable to sense its presence, let alone those totems.
After all, this was Ye Luoâs Divine Kingdom, where his perception should be much clearer than any other expertâs.
This indicated the incredible perfection of the baseâs hiding.
It wasnât surprising, considering the technological prowess required to survive the intruder searches up till now.
But now, Ye Luo no longer cared about the baseâs condition, given that the Zhongzhou Empire and he were merely mutual beneficiariesâhis true ownership lay in the Divine Kingdom.
In this respect, he remained grateful to the base; even amidst the current situation, the base continued to expand his Divine Kingdom tirelessly.
Clearly, the expansion wasnât the baseâs doing but rather carried out by a Spirit Beast resembling a pangolin, which apparently came from an unknown source and expanded at an astonishing speed.
Ye Luo roughly examined his Divine Kingdom, although not as vast as the elderâs small world, it could accommodate tens of thousands of people, which was definitely sufficient for those avian beasts.
Importantly, his Divine Kingdom was indeed a genuine world, not something constructed of Formation; farmers here could survive for generations.
Just like on Earth, over interminable ages, perhaps cultivators or technology might emerge, though Ye Luo had no desire to intervene.
Moreover, before long, his Divine Kingdom might transcend that small world; given its Formation-based nature, thereâs a significant limitation in expansion, whereas his Divine Kingdom seems truly limitless.
"Wow, Ye Luo, we havenât seen you in decades! How have you been? We thought you were dead if not for the Divine Kingdom."
The Fire Turkey suddenly appeared, now majestic and entirely different from earlier, especially in its powerâhaving surpassed Ye Luo, while the nearby Skysoar Beast had doubled in size, exuding an imposing presence.
However, what truly surprised Ye Luo was the Fire Turkeyâs statement!
It seemed that time had changed its pace here as well.
"Has it really been decades?" Ye Luo asked, puzzled, assuming it hadnât been that long.
"Hehe, I canât quite remember actually; since the base disappeared, the concept of time seems goneâbut decades as a minimum, perhaps even a century or more!" The Fire Turkey laughed.
Clearly, upon seeing Ye Luo again, it felt some excitement.
"Letâs set that aside; you should know Iâm in a predicament and now I intend to bring in some neighbors, which still requires your assistance!" Ye Luo laughed.
Then, he spoke to the Fire Turkey and Skysoar Beast about this.
For now, in this Divine Kingdom, only these two Spirit Beasts were capable of discussions.
Those pangolins solely expanded the territory, their Spiritual Intelligence far inferior, and Ye Luo didnât trust the red Ancestral Spirit, nor could it offer any substantive advice.
"Wow, Ye Luo, the Divine Kingdom is lively now. Still, this task isnât difficult. This areaâthe base certainly needs to reemerge, as itâs an old habitat for me and the Skysoar Beast, weâll establish it as the Forbidden Land of the Divine Kingdom. Besides, Iâll redo some arrangements, those beasts arenât as demanding as humans who need plains to thrive, and these climatic conditions are rather lacking, but leave this to me and the Skysoar Beast!"
The Fire Turkey willingly shouldered all tasks, bringing Ye Luo reassurance.
Additionally, given the Fire Turkeyâs advances in realm and power, particularly in understanding Law and Dao, it eclipsed Ye Luo, owing much to its ancient inheritance; even constant dreaming without cultivation sped up its realmâs ascension compared to Ye Luoâs.
Comparing oneself to others could be frustrating, yet Ye Luo, too, felt helplessâwho could change their auspicious origins?
With the Fire Turkeyâs support, the Divine Kingdomâs matters were temporarily resolved.
Nevertheless, that didnât mean the issues concerning these beings were settled.
The fundamental challenge was how these beings would enter his Divine Kingdom!
With only a few individuals, it wouldnât pose a problemâbut such a multitude! His Divine Kingdom, strictly speaking, was an independent world.
The implication was that transporting these beings into his Divine Kingdom constituted an inter-world traversal, necessitating immense resources! These resources surpass Ye Luoâs capabilities.
After all, with tens of thousands of people and numerous avian beasts, along with various species needing transfer, the required resources amounted to astronomical figures!
