Having figured this out, Zhao Hai stopped dwelling on the matter. Even if he taught this method to the people in the God Realm, they wouldn't be able to learn it. Therefore, Zhao Hai never considered sharing this method with others, including the disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect. He couldn't teach this method to the disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect because they couldn't learn it.

Although Zhao Hai no longer pursued the source of that power, he did not give up his research on runes. He still had many runes in his rune space, and he needed to understand whether these runes would undergo any changes in the God Realm. Moreover, these runes could now grow on their own, and he wondered if this would have any impact on the Real Illusion. These were things Zhao Hai had to consider.

While Zhao Hai was studying the runes, Song Lin was sitting in the space of the underground palace flower. He looked at everything in the space of the underground palace flower with a smile on his face. Although the underground palace flower was not suitable as the foundation of a divine kingdom, it could become a spatial magic artifact, which was very important to him.

Song Lin had worked for the castle in its divine realm, so he had some understanding of the divine realm. He knew very well how rare a spatial artifact was in the divine realm. Now that he already had a spatial artifact, his next step was to think about the foundation of his divine realm.

Thinking of this, Songlin stood up. He walked to the door and looked at the void outside. This void was almost entirely black, with only some starlight twinkling in the distance. Songlin knew very well that those twinkling starlight were just some suns that were some unknown distance away from them. Songlin was thinking about the path he was going to take.

In the realm of gods, building your own divine kingdom is a long and arduous process. Although he can currently earn more soil by helping Zhao Hai buy underground palace flowers, he still doesn't know how many years it will take to accumulate enough soil to build his own kingdom. Zhao Hai was able to turn the Sky-Supporting Tree into the foundation of his divine kingdom today because he had 100 cubic meters of soil. As for him, it would probably take him a very long time to accumulate 100 cubic meters of soil. Most importantly, underground palace flowers are becoming increasingly difficult to sell in the Black Sea. Those gods who have their own divine kingdom artifacts don't need underground palace flowers. Those who buy them are all low-level gods, but there are only so many low-level gods living in this area. Now that many people have bought underground palace flowers, it won't be easy for them to sell them. That means the time it takes for him to build his divine kingdom will be extended once again. He might have to endure hundreds of years in the Black Sea to build his own divine kingdom.

Thinking of this, Song Lin's good mood vanished, and the smile on his face disappeared. He looked into the void, suddenly let out a long breath, and then murmured, "The divine kingdom."

Having one's own divine kingdom is the ultimate dream of almost all gods, but unfortunately, this dream is far from the reach of many ordinary gods. For many ordinary gods, building their own divine kingdom is extremely difficult.

Many deities believe that once they find the coordinates of a new realm and start recruiting followers, they can quickly build their own divine kingdom. However, this is impossible. Even if you find the coordinates of a new realm, it will take a long time just to spread your religion. Moreover, people won't become your followers for no reason. You have to give them benefits and make them believe that you are incredibly powerful and omnipotent. Only then will they consider you a god. Achieving this is not easy. In fact, spreading your religion is relatively easy, but just finding the coordinates of a new realm will take a very long time.

Songlin had heard a story before: in the Black Sea, there was a god who had stayed there for a thousand years, yet still didn't have his own divine kingdom. Why? First, because the foundation of his divine kingdom was too small. He could only rely on himself to gradually gather soil. In a thousand years, although he had gathered a lot of soil, he could only build the foundation of a very small divine kingdom at most. Second, he hadn't found the coordinates of the new realm. Finding the coordinates of a new realm sometimes really depends on luck. Some people might find the coordinates of a new realm very quickly, while others might not find them for decades or even centuries.

You've found the coordinates of the new interface, but you still need to preach, convert those people into your followers, and get them to make offerings. All of this is not easy; each step may take decades or even centuries.

To be honest, Song Lin was really getting impatient, but there was nothing he could do. Thinking of this, Song Lin couldn't help but sigh. Then he returned to the living room and sat down again. His gaze unconsciously turned to the quiet room next to him. There was a handful of soil on the floor there. It was given to him by Zhao Hai during the experiment. Now, apart from the underground palace flower space, Song Lin only had that handful of soil. Building his own divine kingdom was too difficult.

After staring at the door for a while, Song Lin suddenly seemed to have made up his mind. He stood up and then moved out of the underground palace flower space. With a thought, the underground palace flower space turned back into a seed, and Song Lin took the seed into his hand.

After he got the seeds, Songlin flew straight to where Zhao Hai lived. Soon he arrived at Zhao Hai's place, but it was still empty, and Zhao Hai was nowhere to be seen.

The next moment, Zhao Hai appeared in front of Song Lin. He looked at Song Lin with some confusion and said, "Song Lin, what brings you here? Is something the matter?"

Song Lin nodded, then said in a deep voice, "Let's go inside and talk."

Zhao Hai, of course, had no reason to refuse, and immediately led Song Lin into the room. The two sat down in the living room on the first floor. Song Lin remained silent, sitting there with a frown, seemingly unsure of what to say. This puzzled Zhao Hai, who wondered what he was up to. However, Zhao Hai didn't speak, but simply looked at Song Lin, waiting for him to speak. After a while, Song Lin finally let out a long breath, then turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Fazhen, I've come today to pledge my allegiance to you."

His words startled Zhao Hai, who stared at him in surprise, unsure of what to say for a moment. After a while, Zhao Hai finally spoke, "What do you mean? I don't quite understand."

Looking at Zhao Hai, Song Lin smiled bitterly and then said, "For so many years, I have been silently gathering soil, hoping to one day build my own divine kingdom. But several years have passed, and as you can see, the soil I gathered before was only a little bit. All my efforts over the years are not as much as what I earn in a month selling underground palace flowers for you. It's pretty meaningless."

Zhao Hai still didn't understand his meaning and just looked at him. Song Lin continued, "I've been thinking about this, why do we have to build our own divine kingdom? I have no ambition, and I've never thought that one day I would become a god of the universe. I'm already immortal, so even if I become a god of the universe, so what? So I don't want to build my own divine kingdom anymore. I plan to stay in your divine kingdom and do things for you. Do you agree?" After saying that, he looked at Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai was genuinely stunned by Song Lin's words. He looked at Zhao Hai carefully and asked, "Have you thought this through?"

Song Lin said in a deep voice, "Yes, I've thought it through. I know that if I don't build my own divine kingdom, I might only ever reach the level of a ghost god and never be able to improve. But to be honest, I'm really tired. Fighting my way up from the lower realm, and now that we're in the divine realm, we need to put in endless effort again. To be honest, I'm really tired. I'm not going to build my own divine kingdom anymore. From now on, I'll follow you and do things for you. What do you think?"

Zhao Hai understood. Song Lin no longer wanted to build his own divine kingdom and wanted to become his subordinate. To be honest, Song Lin's choice really surprised Zhao Hai. He never thought that a god would make such a choice.

However, Zhao Hai didn't say anything. He just pondered for a moment, then said, "If you really decide to do this, then I won't refuse. But you have to think it through. If you really become my subordinate, then you will have to listen to me from now on. How about it? Can you do that?"

Song Lin nodded and said, "Of course I understand what my decision means, but let's make this clear first, I don't want to condense soil anymore. Even if you let me go out with you and fight others, I don't want to condense soil anymore. Otherwise, there would be no need for me to come and be your subordinate. So, do you agree?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hai couldn't help but laugh. He said with a smile, "I agree, of course I agree. Okay, then you won't need to gather soil anymore. And I can also give you a promise: if there's an opportunity in the future, I will give you resources so that you can have your own divine kingdom."

Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, Song Lin was taken aback. Then, looking at Zhao Hai with some confusion, he asked, "What do you mean? Do you have some kind of idea?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, "It's just an idea right now, and it's uncertain whether it can be done. Let's not talk about it for now. But if you really decide to do it, there is something we can do. I just don't know if you'd be willing."

Song Lin looked at Zhao Hai with some confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, "It's about the underground palace flower. Actually, the underground palace flower can be used as a material to refine a real spatial equipment. However, if we really do that, then the underground palace flower can no longer be used as a dwelling place, but only as a spatial equipment. What do you think? Do you want to give up the underground palace flower?"

Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, Song Lin was first taken aback, then his eyes lit up as he said, "Really? Is it really possible? Now that I'm your subordinate, of course I'll be living here. The underground palace flower won't need to be used as a room anymore. Crafting it into a spatial magic artifact is the best choice, but do you know how to do it?" (End of Chapter)
