[Information: Faith Points +27352]

The roar of the black-scaled python dissipated in the swamp wind, and the muddy water stirred up by the battle slowly settled, with black snake scales and blood scattered on the surface of the water.

Qinglu wiped the mud off her face and glanced around: "The wounded warriors stay to receive treatment from the High Priest of Qingdao. The rest of you come with me to take care of the last two Inkscale Pythons."

After saying that, Green turned around and headed towards the center of the swamp with Crimson.

The ensuing battle proceeded without much difficulty, and the two black-scaled pythons passed away peacefully.

Six 30-meter-long black-scaled pythons were neatly arranged in front of the mud cave, a sight that was a bit too shocking for the white-scaled snake people.

The shadow that had weighed on them for generations has now dissipated.

For the first time, the snake-people, who had been covering their mouths to stop crying, burst into tears. This time, they could finally vent their emotions freely.

The little snake-man who had warned them earlier didn't cry. Instead, his eyes shone as he stared at the green and crimson creatures. If it weren't for the adult snake-men around him stopping him, he might have already rushed in front of the two.

The battle for glory has ended. Ji Xuan no longer needs to fight against the consciousness of the plane. He descended with golden light, and every snake-man enveloped in it was restored to their best condition.

Ji Xuan acted swiftly, and the temple guards who were originally on the verge of death were all restored, so this battle was achieved with zero casualties.

The white-scaled snake people were also touched by the scattered golden light. They looked at each other with great curiosity and saw that their old wounds were slowly healing.

Qingdao, holding the Staff of Nature, approached the White-Scaled Serpent People. His voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of every Serpent Person.

"Our Lord is the great God of Nature, who protects all snake people, regardless of bloodline."

"From now on, you will no longer have to hide on the edge of the swamp to survive, you will no longer be suffocated by the black-scaled pythons, and you will no longer live in constant fear."

"Come with us to our new home, where God will protect you. You will all have the opportunity to become stronger, and you will all be able to live with dignity, just like us."

"..."

The people of the White Scaled Serpent were in an uproar. They looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.

Having lived for so many years, they had never heard anything like it before, and they couldn't believe that a god would have mercy on them.

"We'll go with you!" The first to respond was the little snake-man, who looked at Seido with a serious expression and a very firm tone.

Today's events made the little snake-man realize the importance of power. If his father had been more powerful, he might not have died. If he were powerful enough, the white-scaled snake-man wouldn't have to live such a precarious life anymore.

The little snake-man's words seemed to break something, and one after another, the white-scaled snake-men agreed, their eyes shining with hope for the first time.

[Information: The White-Scaled Serpent Man sensed the radiance of the God of Nature]

[Information: We have gained 1 devout believer, 5 true believers, and 61 casual believers]

The temple guards carried the corpse of the black-scaled python into the white vortex first, while Qingdao, Qinglv, and Chihong stayed behind to help the white-scaled snake people pack up and cover their retreat.

Actually, there wasn't much to pack up. The White-Scaled Snake People had very little possessions; their most precious thing was probably the mud cave itself.

Qinglu stood at the edge of the whirlpool and counted the number of people one last time. After confirming that no snake people had fallen behind, she stepped aside to let the white-scaled snake people enter the whirlpool. The white-scaled snake people's eyes showed both trepidation and undisguised anticipation.

The little snake-man was at the back. He glanced back at the mud cave, then looked towards the center of the swamp. Finally, a look of relief flashed in his eyes. He turned around and walked into the whirlpool with Qinglv.

After all the snake people returned to the Mountain and Sea Divine Realm, the white vortex contracted, eventually turning into countless points of light that dissipated into the air of the swamp.

After an initial period of silence, the swamp, no longer suppressed by the Inkscale Python, gradually became lively again.

Ji Xuan saw all of this, but his attention was not on it at the moment.

Unlike the previous fusion, the swamp cannot be directly connected to the ocean, so the way this demiplane is received will be a little different. Fortunately, the faith points can still withstand the consumption.

Ji Xuan first put away the Blood Orchid, and then used his faith points to move the demiplane above the Mountain and Sea Divine Realm before starting the fusion.

His divine sense swept across the entire divine realm, finally settling on a region in the western part of Xishan, a basin.

As Ji Xuan adjusted, a crack appeared in the basin and quickly receded to both sides.

The unusual activity on the ground startled the creatures of the Qingling Mountains. However, since their activity areas were relatively far apart, they merely glanced around warily before resuming their grazing and carnivorous diets.

Until the sky suddenly darkened.

The entire swamp suddenly appeared in the sky and then fell rapidly.

The mountain range was now in complete chaos. Short-legged musk deer and wolves took off running, birds flew through the woods, and an unlucky velvet rabbit crashed headfirst into a big tree and died.

When the swamp falls into the crevice, the surrounding soil and rocks automatically close together, and the two terrains are completely connected, as if the swamp had always been there.

Ji Xuan moved his divine sense again, and a river that was originally flowing south suddenly turned a corner and meandered into the depths of the swamp.

Clear, clean water flowed into the swamp, and the entire area seemed to come alive. Blind eels and scorpionfish poked their heads out of the mud and swam toward the clean water.

A short-legged musk deer tentatively entered the swamp, just as it was about to taste the reeds, when it was dragged into the swamp by a deadwood crocodile.

[Divine Realm: Mountain and Sea Divine Realm]

Lord of the Divine Realm: Ji Xuan

[Territory: Approximately 4,500 square kilometers]

[Divine Realm Environment: Land (Mountains) 40%, Rivers and Lakes 6%, Ocean 34%, Swamp 20%]

[Intelligent Race: Xishan Serpent People]

[Saints: Blue-Green]

[Creatures of the Divine Realm: ...]

[Spiritual Plants: Blood Orchid (Bronze), Jade Rice (Black Iron), Crystal Dew Fruit (Black Iron)]

[Spirit Ore: None]

[Spiritual Location: Moon Reflection Pool (Black Iron, Slowly Upgrading)]

The changes in the Mountain and Sea Divine Realm are quite significant. There are now more Blood Orchids among the spiritual plants, and the Moon Reflection Pool has been added to the spiritual regions.

Of course, the biggest change is in the extent of the divine realm, which has expanded by nearly 1,500 square kilometers.

After Ji Xuan's subsequent adjustments, the first ocean has now been evenly integrated into the other three seas except for the North Sea, and it does not appear out of place.

However, from the air, the swamp occupies a large area in the western part of the Qingling Mountains.

However, it's not a big problem; this area can become another testing ground for the snake people in the future.

To be honest, all the creatures in this Mountain and Sea Divine Realm are stepping stones for the snake people's progress.

After all, we can't keep waging wars against other countries forever. So, if we want the snake people to get enough training, the ranks of the beings in the divine realm also need to be raised.

However, there's no need to rush. Once Qinglu and the others have successively broken through to the Bronze rank, Ji Xuan will lift the restrictions on the ocean area and let them explore it first.
