Standing before the light membrane outside his divine domain, William took a deep breath, his face calm. He took a step forward, and the protective membrane surrounding his divine domain immediately dissipated.

At the same time, William consumed 10 points of divine power and began to teleport to the coordinates of the Divine Exchange Continent in his mind, disappearing from outside the divine domain.

As his surroundings blurred, William transformed into a white light orb and appeared in the Divine Exchange Continent, facing a futuristic, sci-fi-style shopping mall.

Without hesitation, William floated through the entrance of the mall, not bothering to observe the displayed goods. He went straight to an empty counter, behind which was another floating light orb, presumably the mall’s staff.

"I am a human demigod, just out of the protection period, and I need three short-distance random teleportation cards, two basic divine domain concealment cards, three basic divine domain scanning cards, two prairie-type resource terrain cards, two blank sealing cards, and two barren terrain cards," William transmitted this message to the staff at high speed.

As he spoke, a light beam representing William stretched out from his white orb, extending toward the light orb behind the counter.

Upon receiving William's message, the staff light orb seemed to understand his situation and immediately began pulling a bundle of cards connected by a light beam toward William.

After sensing the number and type of cards, William immediately transferred 1040 points of divine power to the staff.

The light beams connecting them disengaged, and in an instant, the light bundle containing the cards was pulled back into William's orb, and the orb disappeared.

This attracted curious glances from others around. The light orb behind the counter, feeling the gaze of many nearby, expanded its aura of thought.

"This customer is just in a hurry, please continue browsing your preferred items," the staff orb explained. With this clarification, the other light orbs in the hall withdrew their attention and resumed selecting items.

At this moment, two light orbs in the hall began exchanging thoughts, a behavior akin to loud talking in the real world, allowing nearby orbs to hear their conversation. Those who did not want to listen could block the communication.

"Hehehe, what’s the rush? I think this is just another human rookie who exited the demigod protection period early. I’ve seen this kind of thing many times, and they most likely won’t live to see thirty years. Giving them resources is just a waste," one light orb’s thoughts spread.

Stolen novel; please report.

The other nearby orb quickly responded, "You’re right. Giving resources to those who won’t even last a three-month protection period is something only low-level civilizations do. Unlike us, we only get resources from our civilization once we’ve passed the protection period."

Hearing the condescending tone from the two orbs, the staff orb immediately sent a thought message to them, "This person paid his own divine power to buy items, you lowly Lumva civilization scum, trying to show superiority here?"

"Don’t even look at whose territory this is, you low-level civilization. If you’re so bold, come fight us at the borders," the staff orb added, and without waiting for a reply, it used its authority to eject the two Lumva civilization orbs from the mall and placed them on the blacklist, permanently banning them from entering.

The Lumva civilization's territory was adjacent to the human civilization's star domain, and in reality, the two civilizations occasionally had friction. Coincidentally, their territories in the divine world were also neighbors, so they didn’t get along.

William, of course, was unaware of the small drama that unfolded after he left. At that moment, he had already teleported back to his divine domain.

As soon as he arrived, William immediately took out a basic divine domain concealment card and activated it by consuming divine power.

As the card dissolved into light and vanished, his divine domain became transparent in the void, eventually merging completely with the surrounding environment.

"Ha... at least I’m safe for now." As the effect of the concealment card took hold, William finally felt his tense mood ease.

Now, as long as he did not move his divine domain, other demigods would be unable to detect the location of his domain with the naked eye.

What William didn’t know was that not far from his domain, another concealed divine domain floated quietly, unmoving. A demigod had just witnessed everything.

Orin was a demigod from the Lumva civilization. After successfully establishing his divine domain, his core follower was a species of wolfman with sharp fangs.

As a branch of the orc species, they possessed strong physical qualities, remarkable endurance, reproductive abilities, and a lifespan of about 60 years. Each year, they could give birth to 2-3 cubs, and the cubs reached maturity in about 10 years, becoming skilled hunters. Orin felt as though he had been blessed by the heavens, having drawn an exceptional follower.

During the 30 years of protection, Orin had diligently developed his wolfman followers, and their numbers had exceeded 700,000. However, due to the followers’ lack of farming and breeding skills, the population had stagnated.

At the same time, Orin had trained 70,000 professional warrior wolfmen, maintaining a ratio of nine regular wolfmen to one professional warrior, ensuring the warriors' combat power was formidable.

Just half a month ago, Orin successfully exited his 30-year protection period. Immediately after, he encountered another divine domain that had just left the protection period. With his newfound confidence, Orin cautiously observed and then launched a test invasion.

He discovered that the enemy’s followers were goblins, which made him overjoyed. Without hesitation, he sent out a full assault, dispatching his 70,000 wolfman army. In a victory with only about 3,000 casualties, he destroyed 100,000 of the enemy’s goblin fighting forces.

The enemy demigod, unable to withstand the onslaught, was forced to withdraw from the battle. The area near the invasion passage was torn apart, and regions occupied by the enemy’s followers met the same fate. Orin managed to seize over a third of the enemy's divine domain, gaining tremendous wealth.

Tasting the sweetness of his victory, Orin decided to stay in the region and continue hunting for his next target. His patience had paid off.
