The Ministry of Internal Affairs reported that the higher-ups of the Four Divine Countries have aligned themselves and accepted the Human Alliance's control. Qiu Tu's political system, Order-Politics, is progressing well, crucial for his advancement to Heavenly God and future aspiration of becoming a Divine King. He also considered potential changes in his "Heavenly God Domain" following his conquest of Doris.

Upon ascending to the rank of "Heavenly God," Qiu Tu found himself endowed with a new capability: the "Heavenly God Domain."

This "Heavenly God Domain" is paramount for any "Heavenly God," serving as the very emblem of their divine authority.

Within the confines of their "Heavenly God Domain," a "Heavenly God" can manifest their full power, operating at 100% capacity.

Qiu Tu's specific "Heavenly God Domain" is "Politics." Consequently, his strength intensifies considerably within the sphere of political influence.

This was evident at the previous night's banquet; an event of such political magnitude, capable of shaping the future of the "Boundless Heart Sea," felt precisely like Qiu Tu's home turf.

It was this very domain that allowed him to shine so brightly last night.

As a favored child of the "World," a "Heavenly God" possesses the innate ability to perceive their "Heavenly God Domain."

The spectacular vision Qiu Tu experienced upon his advancement to Heavenly God was precisely the manifestation of his "Heavenly God Domain."

Now, as he delves deeper into his "Heavenly God Domain," he is once again entering that extraordinary state.

While simultaneously dining, a thought struck Qiu Tu, prompting him to multitask and enter the miraculous state.

Perhaps owing to his attained godhood, the need to project his consciousness outward, as he did during his advancement to reach the "World Origin" for inspection, has vanished. Now, at will, the translucent map of the entire "Boundless Heart Sea" unfolds before his eyes whenever he desires to examine his "Heavenly God Domain."

Gazing upon the translucent map, adorned with its colorful blocks and intricate lines, Qiu Tu confirmed his suspicions: his "Heavenly God Domain" had indeed undergone a profound transformation.

The most striking alteration was the substantial expansion of the "yellow color block," which represented him. Its size had increased manifold.

Previously confined to the Northwest and Southwest regions, the "yellow color block" now encompassed the Western Kingdom, the Northern Kingdom, and the Winter Kingdom, assimilating them along with the Southwest and Northwest into a single, vast territory.

Furthermore, within the three Divine Countries, save for a few scattered "color spots," nearly all territories had been painted yellow.

Qiu Tu briefly analyzed the locations of these remaining "color spots" and recognized them as the forces that had exhibited divided loyalties during the previous night's events.

The leaders of these dissenting forces had been eliminated by Qiu Tu, rendering their allegiance impossible to secure.

However, this was a minor concern, as Qiu Tu had already reallocated their influence among the numerous powerful factions now devoted to him.

It was only a matter of time before these lingering "color spots" were fully integrated.

Upon their assimilation, the territories under Qiu Tu's dominion would achieve complete unification.

With this realization, Qiu Tu's gaze shifted to Doris, seated beside him, who appeared weary and was stifling a yawn. His eyes then fell upon the region designated as the "Northern Kingdom."

Indeed, the entirety of the "Crimson Territory" had been transmuted to yellow.

This signified not only that the beautiful woman beside him had surrendered her physical self but had also unequivocally pledged her genuine loyalty to him.

To be candid, while Qiu Tu had been aware of Doris's intentions as early as yesterday, confirming this development now filled him with a sense of admiration for her courage and decisive action.

After all, Doris was not an isolated individual; she inherited her father's legacy and commanded a power base cultivated over centuries.

Considering their prior relationship as collaborators, it was unlikely that Qiu Tu would have compelled her to join him.

Yet, in the wake of Qiu Tu's advancement to Heavenly God, she had unhesitatingly offered him everything, firmly aligning herself with his cause.

"Indeed... anyone who can endure for hundreds of years among the four Divine Kings is no ordinary figure."

Perhaps sensing Qiu Tu's scrutiny, Doris looked up from her meal, her gaze meeting his.

Upon noticing his attention, she playfully tilted her head, a captivating smile gracing her lips and accentuating the subtle dimples on her cheeks.

Recalling the sight of her face beneath him last night, Qiu Tu felt a momentary rigidity overcome him.

However, keenly aware that this was not the opportune moment for such recollections, he averted his gaze and refocused on his contemplation of the "Heavenly God Domain."

As the most potent manifestation of a Heavenly God's power, the transformations within the "Heavenly God Domain" in some respects mirrored shifts in the Heavenly God's overall strength.

Given the significant expansion of Qiu Tu's domain, his power should, in theory, have escalated dramatically.

Prompted by this thought, Qiu Tu sought to gauge his own newfound strength.

"Intermediate Heavenly God."

Experiencing the surge of power coursing through him, Qiu Tu found himself momentarily lost in thought.

"Did I just advance like this?"

"No wonder last night when 'engaged' with Doris, I felt an inexhaustible wellspring of power within me."

"At the time, I attributed it to Doris's unique constitution, which kept me tireless."

"Turns out it was my advancement?"

This revelation led Qiu Tu to uncover another crucial piece of information.

Considering this… have I now ascended to the highest realm within the "Boundless Heart Sea"? Even with Zhao Ji’s prodigious talent, she shouldn’t have advanced again merely seven days after achieving divinity, should she? From a certain standpoint, shouldn’t I also be deemed the world’s foremost right now? Furthermore… the advantages from the "Divine King Incident" are yet to be fully integrated. My strength will continue to surge for a period. Once the "Boundless Heart Sea" is consolidated, my cultivation level should climb even higher. At that point… my true combat prowess might rapidly eclipse Zhao Ji’s? And then, can I conquer her? Qiu Tu’s heart swelled with optimism after a quiet self-assessment, envisioning a radiant future. Nevertheless, concurrently with this surge in power, an unremitting pressure began to build within Qiu Tu.
