Chapter 383: Chapter 45: Giant Demon Empire’s Movements, Star God Celebration Invitation

"He’s finally done it! The great Emperor of the Empire has finally broken through to the Dominator, the Star God Tier!"

"A Star God... It really is a joyous occasion."

"But now... it doesn’t seem like that big of a deal."

In the Karte World, the Giant Demons had been continuing their Ascension to Divinity within this Star Realm, hoping to fill the quota of Deities. But earlier today, they suddenly received news from the Giant Demon Tobien Empire.

Their Emperor had successfully stepped into the Dominator Realm.

How should they take this news?

If this had happened in the past, these Giant Demons would have been ecstatic.

But in the present, while the Giant Demon Demigods were still happy, the intensity of that joy was diminished by more than half.

It was simply because, as envoys undertaking their Ascension to Divinity in the Karte World, they had witnessed everything that had transpired, especially the development of the Star Empire over the years.

There was no need to even mention the state of the Star Empire’s mortals.

Merely thinking about the current state of the Star Empire’s pantheon of gods made these Giant Demons feel a sense of inadequacy.

How many Main Gods did the Star Empire currently have?

According to the roster the Star Empire itself had published for its Pantheon, there were already as many as nine Main God Level beings in the entire empire.

As for Deities of High Divine Power, their numbers had already broken through the twenty mark.

And Medium Divine Power? Over fifty!

The number of Weak Divine Power Deities had surpassed one hundred.

It might seem that all these Deities added up to less than two hundred.

But do you know what two hundred Deities means?

The total number of Deities in the Giant Demon Tobien Empire at its peak was only about that many.

What’s more, in terms of quality, the Star Empire had already far surpassed the Tobien Empire.

The Tobien Empire only had three beings at or above the Main God Level, and that even included the Emperor of the Empire.

As for Deities of High Divine Power, the Tobien Empire currently only had a mere six.

There were slightly more with Medium and Weak Divine Power.

But even just by numbers, they already fell short of the Star Empire.

And how many years had it been?

In total, from the day of its founding, less than three hundred years had passed for the Star Empire.

The Demigods undergoing their Ascension to Divinity in the Karte World had personally witnessed this civilization’s meteoric rise.

Never mind the nine Main Gods.

Above the nine Main Gods, the Star Empire now had two Ancient Deities.

As for these two Ancient Deities, especially the Dragon God, the Giant Demons had no way of knowing just how powerful he had become.

But according to information revealed by some of the Star Empire Gods, the Dragon God’s level had long since surpassed the Dominator Star God Tier.

Think back, what was the Dragon God’s state three hundred years ago?

And look at him now.

Never mind the Star Empire’s own gods growing numb to it; even the Giant Demons had collectively fallen into self-doubt.

Three hundred years?

From the Extraordinary Stage to a level of Power surpassing the Star God Equivalent Tier in just three hundred years?

Such terrifying growth seriously defied all conventional understanding.

At the very least, Lince’s growth rate was no longer on the same dimensional plane as the path of an ordinary Deity.

"The Star Empire’s growth rate is truly frightening."

"Never mind the Dragon God; the Mortal Empire’s development is also changing by the day."

"Not to mention, this civilization wages wars against other civilizations far more frequently and intensely than our Tobien Empire ever did."

"Under such circumstances, the number of Deities and the prosperity of their mortal civilization aren’t so hard to understand."

High up in the Star Realm, a Giant Demon Demigod gazed at the Star Sea, where massive warships would occasionally fly out from the mortal world. He sighed in amazement.

"I have to say, this civilization is truly fortunate!"

"After all, they have a freakishly powerful Ancient Deity backing them."

"If our Tobien Empire had such a being, perhaps this world would have been ours long ago."

"But, speaking of which, how many civilizations has this Star Empire conquered by now?"

At that moment, the nearly fifty gathered Giant Demon Demigods were deep in discussion.

"Hmm, if I recall correctly, since this Empire was founded, their publicly available information sources show that they’ve conquered three civilizations, right?"

"The Intelligent Machinery Civilization, the Blood Race Civilization, and the most recent one, the Adventurer Civilization."

A Giant Demon Demigod mused.

"The Intelligent Machinery Civilization—you can see it right now. It’s these steel creations before us that allow mortals to journey through the Star Sea."

"As for the Blood Race Civilization, we’ve never had contact with them, so we don’t know the details. But according to public information from the Star Empire, the main body of this civilization is still primarily gathered on its native planet."

"At the same time, the Deities this civilization has publicly acknowledged number only thirteen. But among them, five are Main God Level beings, and eight are beings of High Divine Power."

"It’s obvious this civilization was swallowed whole by the Star Empire. All their Deities have submitted to the Dragon God."

"Also, there’s another point worth mentioning. According to the Star Empire’s announcements, that civilization’s world still has about fifty slots available for Deities. This means the Star Empire’s roster of gods will grow even larger in the future."

"As for the Adventurer Civilization recently taken by the Star Empire, their public announcements state that its Power system seems similar to the Karte World’s, but they had two Main Gods."

"As for their other Deities, there were probably only a little over thirty in total."

"This civilization was suddenly swallowed by the Star Empire without any warning. None of us even detected any movement from their Deities or the Star Empire’s mortals. It’s truly strange."

"But one can only assume this civilization was also subdued by the power of the Dragon God alone."
