The most important thing now is to Restoration Perfect Land.

Kronos could not sustain this Divine Kingdom with his own power indefinitely; it would be too taxing on his energy.

Moreover, Kronos truly needed a Divine Kingdom of his own.

He had only been a god for a short time, so he hadn't done this yet. He took this opportunity to seize the Perfect Land for himself.

Because of Stiano's fall, the Perfect Land lost its most important divinity, which led to its complete collapse.

In fact, if Kronos infused his own divinity into it, he could save the Divine Kingdom.

But Kronos's ambitions went beyond that; he desired a Divine Kingdom of his own, not simply the Perfect Land inherited from Stiano.

After a moment's thought, Kronos came up with a good idea.

With a gentle pull of his hand, he created a space.

What kind of space is this? It's actually the space of the Moses Ascetic Order.

As Hermit, Kronos's Divine Kingdom would be best suited to possess the power of Hermit Pathway; otherwise, it would seem rather strange.

These unique Divine Kingdom were nurtured little by little by these True God; it's not an easy thing to achieve overnight.

Therefore, Kronos decided to rely on external forces.

This space of the Moses Ascetic Order was inherently filled with the power of the Hermit Pathway, after all, he had lived here for so many years, from Constantin to the Hidden Sage.

Therefore, based on this space and combined with the remaining power of the Perfect Land, it will definitely be possible to create a decent Divine Kingdom for Kronos.

This Divine Kingdom will be based on the combined power of the Hermit and the Paragon, and will be more powerful than any other Divine Kingdom.

Without hesitation, after creating this space, Kronos began to draw upon the power of the Hermit Pathway within it.

Once these powers are extracted, this space will be of no use to Kronos.

Having infused these powers with his own divinity, the foundation for the Hermit's plan was now complete.

Next up is the Perfect Land Perfect Land, which actually doesn't require much attention.

The Divine Kingdom is not a physical entity, but rather a collection of forces.

Therefore, Kronos only needed to borrow the authority of the Paragon slightly to easily dismantle it.

The Divine Kingdom of the True God is not in the Real World, nor in the Spirit World, but in the Astral World.

Not only because this place better reflects the identity of the gods, but also because the Astral World makes it easier to defend against invasions by Outer Deity.

The original divine Divine Kingdom were stationed in the Astral World, but the sudden collapse of the Perfect Land almost caused a breach in their defenses.

If Amanises and Lilith hadn't had the resources to help, things might have turned out very badly by now.

When the God of Combat, Badheil, fell, it was Amanises and Lilith who stabilized the situation together. Because of the power of the God of Death God, Amanises' strength increased to a higher level, which is why he was able to completely fill the gap.

Even if Kronos doesn't step in to fix the problem, Amanises can handle it.

However, since it is my responsibility, I should take it seriously.

After extracting the two powers, Kronos entered the Astral World directly.

This was his first time here. The illusory Astral World was even more abstract than the Spirit World, composed of symbols and authority, encompassing all authority and symbols of the entire universe.

He wasn't sure of the direction at first, but with a little sensing, he detected the location of Amanises's Darkened Heaven.

Kronos had been to the Darkened Heaven many times, so he could easily find it.

When they arrived at the True God's defensive line, the magnificent sight astonished Kronos.

Several Divine Kingdom were stationed behind the defensive line; further ahead, one could sense deep malice and hostile intent.

Sensing Kronos's presence, Amanises emerged from his Darkened Heaven.

This was the first time Kronos had seen the Darkened Heaven from this perspective; it was all darkness, and he couldn't see what was inside.

After Amanises arrived before Kronos, she said, "Are you ready so early?"

"Actually, there's no rush. I can handle it. You can relax for a while longer."

Once the Divine Kingdom, this True God will most likely have to reside there for a long time.

After all, the Outer Deity are watching us closely. Short-term mishaps are nothing, but a prolonged shortage of manpower would be a big problem.

There are no immediate problems with the defenses, so Kronos doesn't need to rush.

Didn't you notice that Adam's Corpse Cathedral haven't been placed here until now?

Kronos smiled and said, "I don't have anything else to do, so I might as well establish my Divine Kingdom here and do my part."

"If anything comes up later, I'll ask for your help again."

After listening to Kronos's words, Amanises nodded. Since that was Kronos's opinion, she would not stop him.

Led by Amanises, Kronos arrived at a location.

This place is guarded by a strong sense of the Death Authority; it is clearly a position that Amanises is currently in charge of.

Amanises said, "This is where the Perfect Land should have been, but with its collapse, a void has appeared here."

"Since you've decided to come, then this position is yours."

Kronos nodded, then pushed forward with both hands simultaneously, and two balls of power appeared in front of him.

One was formed from the divine power of Kronos combined with the power of the Hermit Pathway, and the other was the remaining power of the Perfect Land.

Under Kronos's control, the two forces merged together.

Since they are originally from the same source, they can naturally merge well.

In other words, Kronos does not yet have control over the Paragon One, otherwise he could combine the two powers even more perfectly.

After the two forces merged, Kronos began to create his own Divine Kingdom.

In truth, Kronos has little interest in styles like Darkened Heaven or Perfect Land.

He did not want to shape Divine Kingdom into a world; rather, he liked the architectural form of Adam's, and thus developed it in that direction.

Under Kronos's control, this power quickly began to take shape.

First is the foundation of the Divine Kingdom, which is a huge, blooming golden lotus flower. On top of the lotus flower, a magnificent building appears.

In terms of overall architectural style, Kronos drew heavily on the style of the Forbidden City, forming a small city-state imbued with Huaxia Civilization.

From the city walls and gates to the various grand halls within, it resembles an ancient city.

After seeing the ancient city, Amanises looked at Kronos with some suspicion.

This style looks somewhat familiar. Although Amanises is a Westerner, he has seen it not only on television and the internet, but also in person.

However, Kronos didn't know the Forbidden City that well, so he only borrowed some of its features.

In addition, considering the styles he had been exposed to in this world, which also included elements of the Loen style and the styles of the city-states of the Forsaken Land of the Gods, Amanises remained only in the stage of doubt.

The main reason was that no more people emerged from the Sefirah Castle and the Chaos Sea, which lessened Amanises's suspicions.

After completing his Divine Kingdom, Kronos said, "Let my Divine Kingdom be called the City of Civilization, to guard the Civilization process of this world."

No sooner had these words been spoken than two large characters appeared above the city gate: "Civilization".

This was not left by Kronos or Amanises, but rather it appeared automatically after the True God named his own Divine Kingdom.

Seeing that Kronos had completely established his Divine Kingdom, Amanises withdrew his Death Authority.

The instant the Death Authority was withdrawn, Kronos completely took control of the defenses.

The spying and probing from the Outer Deity had officially begun.

The Outer Deity couldn't all be targeting him alone, so most of them were confronting their own opponents, with only two making a move to test the waters.

A series of chaotic babbling came from above. Even though Kronos himself was already True God, he still felt dizzy and almost lost control of himself.

Upon suddenly sensing this situation, Kronos quickly entered the main hall of his city-state and mobilized all his authority.

Suddenly, River of Civilization appeared, forming a sturdy moat around the City of Civilization.

After the moat was completed, the whispers from the outside world never disappeared, but they could no longer reach the city, and the defenses were completely complete.

This test made the Outer Deity aware of Kronos's power, and at the same time, it allowed Kronos to understand the Outer Deity better.

Aside from that murmur, Kronos could also clearly feel a faint gaze constantly sweeping across his Divine Kingdom.

Even though the City of Civilization had raised its defenses to the limit, it was as if that gaze could still see him.

This is the combined probing of the Inextinguishable Ravings and the High-Dimensional Overseer.

The two of them usually carried out each probing mission.

Whether it's whispering or stares, while they may not be considered powerful attacks, they are still quite difficult to defend against.

Therefore, this is a very effective way to test the potential of newcomers.

Amidst the murmurs, a very clear voice echoed in the ears of the many Outer Deity.

"This newcomer is quite capable; he's at least at the level of a Paragon, so none of us should act rashly."

The fall of True God and the replacement by a new one is not a common occurrence. Various Outer Deity want to take this opportunity to send their power into this world in an attempt to achieve their own goals.

But after the High-Dimensional Overseer reached this conclusion, everyone's restless hearts gradually calmed down.

These are all old guys who have lived for who knows how long, so they are not in a hurry and have chosen to lie low quietly, waiting for the Fatal Strike.

Within a few days, the name "City of Civilization" had spread far and wide.

In the widely circulated narrative, the God of Steam and Machinery underwent a transformation, becoming a more perfect god.

Therefore, after his own transformation, his Divine Kingdom also underwent a transformation.

The Perfect Land was completely transformed into City of Civilization, evolving from the Divine Kingdom belonging only to the gods into the cradle of world Civilization.

It's just a form of propaganda, so naturally, the more sensational the better.

With the propaganda in place, the entire faith of the Church of Steam and Machinery began to converge on the City of Civilization.

Using these beliefs, Kronos lit an inextinguishable Light of Civilization above the City of Civilization, making his defenses completely impregnable.

Regarding the emergence of the City of Civilization, most people accepted the propaganda of the Church of Steam and Machinery, which stated that the God of Steam and Machinery had become stronger.

However, for some Angel and Archangel, this matter is not so easily fooled.

The Perfect Land symbolizes Divine Kingdom belonging to the Paragon, so what is the City of Civilization? Is it something even more advanced?

It's not surprising that Amanises and Lilith have gone further, given their profound backgrounds.

But if this happened to Stiano, it wouldn't make sense.

Those of similar strength know that Stiano is essentially the weakest among the True God.

If it weren't for Roselle's sudden emergence, his condition might not have improved by now.

Even if your condition improves, you still don't have a deep understanding of yourself. If you rashly take another step forward, you might Loss of Control.

Therefore, there is something wrong with this current God of Steam and Machinery!

And naturally, there are also people among them who know the inside story.

For example: Trunsoest, Olnia, Olmer, Will Unsett...

Bernadette was the one who valued this Message the most.

Although she had agreed to go to the Church of Steam and Machinery, she still needed to make sure that the Hermit could completely control the situation.

If his strength isn't as great as she imagined, and he ends up messing up the whole plan, then she won't need to go.

All I need to do is seize the right opportunity and take my younger brother away.

In Bernadette's mind, her brother was merely bewitched by Stiano and shouldn't be difficult to deal with.

Roselle was well aware of everything Stiano had done to his son, but he couldn't bring himself to tell Bernadette, which led to this misjudgment.

But now that the Church of Steam and Machinery has smoothly changed hands, Bernadette must fulfill her promise to Kronos and head to the Cathedral of Machinery.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Cathedral of Machinery, Bernadette was lost in a series of memories.

She had been here when she was a child, with Roselle, Roselle was then known as the Son of Steam.

However, Roselle later broke with the Church of Steam and Machinery, and her relationship with the Church of Steam and Machinery completely changed.

Since then, she has had almost no contact with members of the Church of Steam and Machinery, let alone coming here.
