Refining an external world to incorporate it into one’s independent world isn’t difficult in essence.

As long as one attains a high enough level, has a sufficiently vast independent world, and possesses enough patience, it can be achieved.

However, refining an external world and forming a complete Mini World are two different matters.

The greatest challenge in forming a complete independent Mini World is the need to sever its connection with the Big World it is located in. This process is akin to confronting a Big World directly.

Attempting to conquer the greater with the lesser is not feasible on this level.

What defines a Big World is not merely its size.

It’s more about the robustness and depth of the Heavenly Path that are unfathomable.

Indeed, because it involves the Heavenly Path, ordinarily, refining a Mini World would be an impossible endeavor.

No matter how resolute an individual’s independent world is, it could never rival the Heavenly Path of a Big World.

For places like Divine Domain, which are Mini Worlds closely connected to the Big World, even just a one-way Ascending Path can be awe inspiring. Usually, it is impossible to sever such Ascending Paths.

For example, take the Ancient Fairyland from Universe Great World’s past.

The Ascending Path was rendered useless by a Saintly figure at a great cost. However, rendering it useless is not the same as severing its connection; the relation between the Ancient Fairyland and the Universe Great World essentially still exists.

And as a matter of fact.

Apart from the one-way ascension channel provided by the Ascending Path, high-dimensional spaces such as the Divine Domain and Immortal Realm, that are only accessible to those who have ascended, are essentially part of the Big World’s order.

After dealing with the Ascending Path, one still has to challenge the order and rules of the Big World.

It’s worth mentioning that.

Although Secret Realm Spaces which exist as Mini Worlds are not as closely connected to the Big World as high-dimensional spaces like the Divine Domain and Immortal Realm, refining them necessitates confronting the associated Big World.

Even though Secret Realm Spaces maintain connections with the Big World occasionally, the connection is ever-present.

Compared to the Divine Domain, Immortal Realm and Secret Realm Spaces.

The piece of world that Li Jing refined was incredibly straightforward.

The world, which is now a satellite within the Little Universe, was initially a trap laid out by immortals in the Immortal Realm.

The methods used indeed defied the natural order of things.

But seeing as it was artificially set up,

its connection with the Big World was extremely vulnerable as it wasn’t flawless.

It is for this reason.

That Li Jing was able to refine it with ease.

Putting all this aside.

Having swallowed the Divine Domain of X with his own domain, Li Jing, as agreed with the Star Cloud Heavenly Path, didn’t attempt to sever its connection with the Star Nebula Great World.

The fact that he didn’t take this crucial step in refining the external world didn’t impede his success in refining.

Because under the control of the Star Cloud Heavenly Path, the Star Nebula Great World’s Heavenly Path accepted his involvement and didn’t react against Li Jing’s Little Universe, despite its own principles being violated and challenged.

This allowed Li Jing to progress smoothly with the refining process, albeit with a strange expression on his face.

As he began the refining process, an understanding dawned in his heart.

According to the Star Cloud Heavenly Path, essentially, a loophole had been exploited.

It was taking advantage of his status as a World Observer...

A World Observer maintains cosmic order and is recognized and favored by the Will of Heaven and the Heavenly Path.

Normally speaking.

Worlds Observers absolutely aren’t allowed to harm the Big World.

Because the title bestowed upon them could be taken back at any time. Once the Will of Heaven senses something is wrong, it can react immediately.

However, in this case, the Star Cloud Will and Li Jing were working in unison.

The Heavenly Path, which lacks self-awareness, does not think for itself and relies entirely on the Will of Heaven, which it produces, to judge various matters.

If the Will of Heaven sees no issue, the Heavenly Path would not react either.

To use an accurate analogy,

The Heavenly Path is more like a large-scale server.

To ensure the server can operate normally, it autonomously created a Smart Program.

All operations and safeguards are ensured by the Smart Program, while the Heavenly Path simply provides a platform that can host various programs.

Only when the Smart Program can’t operate or meet the operational requirements due to an accident or loophole would the server contemplate creating a new Smart Program to ensure normal operation.

Of course.

If its own order is challenged and violated, the Heavenly Path would also react to some extent.

However, at present,

Because Li Jing, as a World Observer, is part of the order and serves as an external safeguard for the "server" under the Will of Heaven, the Heavenly Path didn’t notice any problem.

Even when Li Jing began refining the HX Divine Domain, the Heavenly Path misjudged his Little Universe as part of itself and took the initiative to establish a connection with it.

This kind of "manipulation"

God knows how many impossible detours Li Jing avoided due to it.

Before completely refining the HX Divine Domain, the Star Nebula Great World proactively established a connection with his Little Universe. This directly led him to take a vital step from having an independent world to evolving towards a Big World, all while standing in the same spot.

Having taken this step, Li Jing then understood why it’s a necessary move to allow the independent world to evolve into a Big World.

The key

Lies in the existence and the level of the Heavenly Path of the independent world and the Big World.

Compared to the Heavenly Path of the independent world, the Heavenly Path of a Big World is exponentially more complex. The magnitude of the Heavenly Path itself is not on the same level; this also correlates to a significantly important problem.

Plane Space is linked to Plane Space, having connections that transcend timelines and macro spatial levels.

Only by establishing connections with other Plane Spaces at the timeline and macro spatial levels can an independent space world potentially evolve into a Big World. If not, it will forever remain as a Mini World, existing merely as a vassal to a Big World.

With the advantage of the Star Cloud Heavenly Path exploiting a loophole, Li Jing’s refinement process was simply unparalleled.

In only one day, X God Domain showed a complete tendency of merging into the Little Universe.

How complicated could the X God Clan, who remained in the Divine Domain, be in just one day?

Someone refining their Divine Domain is something anyone with a bit of strength could sense.

Isn’t this somewhat maddening?

If someone poses a threat to their Divine Domain, no matter the circumstance, they must find a way to resist.

However, just the mere thought of the immense power needed to refine a Divine Domain is unimaginable to them.

It wouldn’t necessarily be fair to pin all the blame on the HX Divine Domain.

So, how could they resist?

But this is secondary.

The main problem is.

All signs point to their Divine Domain being rapidly refined without any significant effort.

Outrageous!

Did the Big World’s Heavenly Taoist collapse?

It doesn’t even step in to regulate?

...

Another day passed.

With a thunderous roar in heaven and earth, the refinement of the X Divine Domain succeeded. It had become an actual planet deep in the vast cosmos within Little Universe.

Yes.

Planet.

Not a high-dimensional space having "autonomy" and floating outside the Little Universe.

The reason managing the Nine Great Divine Fields is so difficult is that they are high-dimensional spaces floating outside the Big World, possessing "autonomy" and are beyond the reach of the Will of Heaven.

Li Jing, knowing of this problem, would never let it occur within his Little Universe.

Having settled the HX Divine Domain.

Li Jing instinctively sealed the surrounding space, leaving only a one-way path for those who ascended from the Star Nebula Great World. He fundamentally sealed off the possibility of the HX Divine Domain wreaking havoc in the Little Universe.

Under such circumstances, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the XiX God Clan and its ascendants involved in their faith have been nurtured by him.

Out of consideration to prevent the XiX God Clan from panicking due to unclear situations, Li Jing had Little Ai make a trip and communicate with the staff left behind in the XiX Divine Domain with the identity of the Will of Heaven. He clearly informed them of their current situation and who their future "boss" will be.

With the experience of the XiX God Clan, Li Jing seized the moment and resolutely tore through space to the TianX Divine Domain. He incorporated the TianX Divine Domain and its corresponding Hell into his Little Universe to begin refining.

Beforehand, to prepare for invasion, the TianX Divine Domain and Hell had reestablished their connection.

Once this connection was established, it could not be broken in a short time.

This greatly facilitated Li Jing’s work.

Refining a Divine Domain is refining; refining two Divine Domains is still refining.

With the Star Cloud Heavenly Path helping to catch bugs and turning on the green light, the process of refining two Divine Domains at once for a "double line operation" was not too difficult.

Swallowed up into the Little Universe, the TianX Divine Domain and Hell were dumbfounded immediately as they noticed something was happening.

Unlike the XiX Divine Domain.

They had seen Li Jing cover the entire Divine Domain with his Little Universe...

That scene of despair they would never forget.

So...

Wasn’t the matter with TianX Divine Domain and Hell already resolved?

Why did Li Jing come back? What was his intention?

Soon, the TianX Divine Domain and Hell noticed that their own domains were being refined, and they chose to lie down in surprise and horror.

Not to mention that Li Jing was the world’s guardian.

Just the fact that he could swallow two Divine Domains at once and start refining them made them not dare to have any complaints.

Although they didn’t know what was happening.

But at least Li Jing had no intention of annihilating them...

As long as the green hills are there, one does not have to worry about firewood.

Having been severely beaten before, how dare they have any thoughts of resistance?

Therefore.

Three days later, the TianX Divine Domain and Hell followed in the footsteps of the XiX Divine Domain, and in turn became a planet in the depths of the Little Universe, subject to a "closed management".

Next up was XJin Divine Domain.

Compared to the XiX Divine Domain and the first three Divine Domains, the XJin Divine Domain was relatively "small" and weaker.

The fact that it had been beaten to a pulp by the joint forces of the Supreme Divine Realm and the XiX God Clan within just a few days said a lot.

With the experience of refining the first three Divine Domains, and even the "double line operation", Li Jing’s refinement of the XJin Divine Domain was highly efficient.

In less than a day.

XJin Divine Domain was completely integrated into the Little Universe, becoming a small planet deep in the starry sky...

BeiX Divine Domain.

It was relatively ancient and much larger.

However, Li Jing only took a day and a half.

Having successfully integrated the BeiX Divine Domain into his Little Universe, Li Jing, with the authority of the Creator, quickly discovered the BeiX God Clan, which had collectively fallen into eternal sleep during the Twilight of the Gods and could not have been found merely by observing their domain.

They were each in a very secluded area of the BeiX Divine Domain, with some signs of grouping together.

Having discovered the sleeping BeiX God Clan, Li Jing pondered for a bit.

While he kept the BeiX Divine Domain isolated in the same way as before, Li Jing moved with a thought, directing the mighty force of the Little Universe into the bodies of the sleeping BeiX God Clan, forcibly making up for their losses during the Twilight of the Gods and awakening them one by one.

???

All members of the BeiX God Clan that were forcibly awakened.

Eternal sleep is a very deep sleep, and peripheral movements cannot draw their attention.

But they had just recently fallen asleep, and their consciousness had not yet truly sunk into the state of deep sleep.

Therefore, they all had clear minds and knew they had just fallen asleep not long ago.

Every member of the BeiX God Clan was confused.

Following God King Odin’s lead, every North X God Clan member’s expression became incredibly colorful.

Their Divine Domain had been refined and had fallen into another space level, becoming a planet in the foundational structure of the heaven and the earth. This, they could not possibly miss.

With the blink of an eye, a home was stolen...

How could this not cause them to be in turmoil?

Just as every North X God Clan member was dealing with this chaotic situation, petite Little Ai, who always had a knack for outfits, came wearing tight-fitting leather clothes and directly descended into North X Divine Domain, carrying a small whip, and without uttering a word, she started whipping Odin.

???

Odin.

The whipping didn’t hurt.

On the contrary, it was exceedingly refreshing, and he actually wanted another round.

At its core -

Little Ai has granted him the rights a God King should have in the Little Universe.

The Divine Domain had been refined and its "autonomy" was revoked, making it very different from the way things were in the Star Nebula Great World.

The various changes in divine power didn’t differ much.

The main point was that a God King’s privileged position was almost completely abolished on the spot.

However, the rights that should be granted are still granted.

After all, a God King is an entity that can restrain the entire God Clan...

...

As for the situation in the North X Divine Domain, Li Jing only took note of it and didn’t pay much further attention.

Little Ai had been playful for long, she could be let go and make noise.

After experiencing a few Divine Domains, she had already become a "skilled worker". Simply giving a few orders could quickly enlighten the North X God Clan about their situation.

Tearing apart the space with just a wave of his hand, Li Jing directly arrived at the Indian X Divine Domain.

The flow of time on Earth was different from that in Divine Domains.

Accounting for the week Li Jing spent on Earth, more than two months had passed in Indian X Divine Domain.

The Indian X Divine Domain looked overwhelmingly devastated by now.

However, the God War was still ongoing and it had become more intense than ever.

This was not because of the Indian X Divine Domain’s extraordinary strength, but because during the course of the God War, the remaining three divine realms had progressively joined in.

Li Jing had known this when he was still on Earth, but he didn’t pay it any mind.

Others could travel to Indian X Divine Domain - this undoubtedly happened with the Indian X God Clan’s consent.

He didn’t bother questioning the nature of the Indian X Divine Domain during this period.

Whether the Indian X God Clan had actively allied with the other three Divine Domains or not, the final outcome would remain unchanged. And it would save him the trouble of finding each of the divine realms one by one.

The only thing he needed to be concerned about -

was perhaps that the Indian X Divine Domain had withstood the baptism of war for too long and had involved battling against six God Clans. Consequently, it could end up worse than the X Tsun Divine Domain, where Gabriel blew the trumpet of doom.

But this was something the Indian X God Clan needed to worry about, not Li Jing.

The alliance of four Divine Domains had indeed resisted strongly,

But they were still no match before the overwhelming power of the Supreme God Clan.

This was particularly the case with the addition of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Lilith, and other Quasi-Sky Father Level entities that Li Jing had recruited. They filled in for the shortage of the war’s frontline forces.

That said.

Even without the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and Lilith and other Quasi-Sky Father Level entities, the outcome would still not change.

After all, the likes of Weapon Spirit Wuming and others were still actively participating in the frontlines of the God War.

Their Cultivation level was on par with Li Jing’s own, but being confined to their Weapon Spirit status made their tactics relatively limited, making them slightly less flexible than the real deal.

Yet even with this.

Even if four Sky Father Level characters should emerge from the four Divine Domains, it would simply be ...
