When Gu Qijue arrived at the Manufacturing Hall, Demigod Victoria was delivering high-level materials to the hall's warehouse.
Matters like cleaning the battlefield and distributing war spoils could be handled by Vice Leader Di Kui and many elders.
As the Emperor Star Leader, Gu Qijue only needed to focus on major affairs without involving himself in every detail.
Just as Victoria was bringing the war spoils, Gu Qijue casually asked, "Victoria, how was the harvest of the Infinite Group this time?"
Victoria, a beautiful demigod created by Gu Qijue and also one of his consort, knew about his god-making undertakings.
After Gu Qijue's inquiry, Victoria replied, "This time, the harvest of the Infinite Group was utterly astounding."
"However, unfortunately, this harvest didn't include many materials suited for the creation of divine spirits and demigods."
As she spoke, Victoria took out a small book and handed it to Gu Qijue.
This small book contained a record of the Infinite Group's war spoils.
Gu Qijue swiftly skimmed through it using his spiritual power.
After reading, he was somewhat dumbfounded.
The Infinite Group's harvest this time was more bountiful than any previous one.
But among the many spoils of the Infinite Group, the materials that could be used to create divine spirits and demigods were very scarce.
Gu Qijue could only continue to ask, "Do other groups' gains include suitable materials?"
Victoria shook her head, "Very few, and it seems the Demigod Crystal Cores of the Four Domains Alliance have already been scoured once."
Having said that, Victoria remembered something very crucial.
"Your Excellency, we discovered something strange."
Gu Qijue casually asked, "What's strange?"
Victoria solemnly replied, "All seven domains we currently control have had demigods disappear in the past."
Gu Qijue showed a few signs of confusion in his eyes, "Demigods disappearing?"
In the absence of divine spirits, demigods were the highest beings.
The disappearance of demigod powerhouses was an exceedingly bizarre phenomenon.
Victoria nodded, "Yes, and not just two or three demigods, but many have vanished."
"The disappearance of these demigods all occurred in a similar manner, they all inexplicably vanished without a trace."
After hearing this, Gu Qijue asked, "Is there any conclusion about this matter?"
Victoria thought for a moment and straightforwardly sent a document to Gu Qijue.
"Your Excellency, there's no conclusion regarding the disappearance of demigods, but there are many unverified hypotheses in the document I sent you."
Gu Qijue naturally needed to place great importance on this matter.
Regardless of the cause, one certain fact was there.
That is, many demigods have disappeared from this place.
This indicates that there is a force, hidden from view, that can easily make demigods disappear.
In his harem, the strongest beings are demigods.
The disappearance of other demigods didn't concern him much.
If his wife were to disappear, that would be extremely distressing.
Gu Qijue immediately began earnestly examining the information Victoria sent him.
This information offered various viewpoints without any definitive conclusion.
After reading, Gu Qijue was also left in a fog.
Because most of the claims in the documents were various conjectures.
Although these conjectures had certain grounds, they didn't seem very reliable.
The only thing that piqued Gu Qijue's interest was a hypothesis about an evil god legend.
The evil god legends spoke of an ancient shrine in the Life Forbidden Zone.
And in the ancient shrine, an evil god was worshipped.
The Life Forbidden Zone was located on the Southeast Continent Plate, considered a highly perilous forbidden zone.
Even demigods might not come out unscathed from entering it.
As for the ancient shrine deep within the Life Forbidden Zone, there were countless unverified rumors.
After pondering a bit, Gu Qijue abandoned the idea of exploring the ancient shrine.
For now, he was primarily interested in creating more divine spirits.
For him, as the Emperor Star Leader, a beautiful goddess like the Moon God was extremely useful.
On the one hand, she would add vibrancy to his harem, and on the other, she would enhance the combat capabilities of the Emperor Star Alliance.
However, god-making was an immensely energy and resource-intensive task.
The Emperor Star Alliance, having conquered seven domains, had managed to produce only one deity.
Gu Qijue thought for a bit and commanded Victoria, "The Infinite Group is to continue acquiring materials for creating demigods and divine spirits from all sides."
Victoria bowed and replied, "As you command, Your Excellency."
Gu Qijue didn't order the purchase of Divine Spirit Crystal Cores; if they had Divine Spirit Crystal Cores, creating gods would become much simpler.
With just one Divine Spirit Crystal Core, along with other rare materials and a large number of energy stones, the Infinite Engine could create a demigod.
Yet, Demigod Crystal Cores were incredibly rare, and as for Divine Spirit Crystal Cores, they were simply nonexistent.
Gu Qijue believed that the Southeast Continent Plate wouldn't possess Divine Spirit Crystal Cores.
Under normal circumstances, his judgment should be correct.
But in the Southern Heng Domain, where even Super Divine Tier Blood Dragon Gods existed, possessing Divine Spirit Crystal Cores didn't seem inconceivable.
At this moment, Gu Qijue's two godsons and one goddaughter were at another undersea abyss in the Nan Heng Sea.
Gu Yinling had now become a demigod, while Gu Chitong remained at the peak of demigod level, not yet a Divine Spirit.
Gu Xiaoyu, trailing behind the other two, was essentially playing a supporting role.
Regarding treasure hunting and mining, Gu Yinling was a specialist.
He had always been the rare resources gathering team leader for Gu Qijue, regularly leading expeditions to prospect and collect various rare resources.
At that moment, near the undersea abyss, Gu Yinling took a careful look and said to his younger siblings:
"Let's go back and inform godfather; there is a dangerous aura below, most likely a formidable demigod presence."
Gu Chitong, hearing this, nonchalantly responded, "What's there to fear! I'll go down and pound it to death!"
As he spoke, he intended to dive into the undersea abyss.
However, his small dragon horns were caught and restrained by Gu Xiaoyu.
"Can't you follow orders for once? If there's a divine spirit stronger than demigods below, you'd be killed!"
"Let's listen to Brother Yinling and inform godfather of the situation here!"
Gu Chitong was naturally somewhat displeased, as he felt capable of battling gods.
But reluctantly, he returned to the Infinite Group Headquarters, with Gu Xiaoyu and Gu Yinling clutching his fate-governing small dragon horns.
In the Floating Base of the Infinite Group, inside Gu Qijue's office.
Very soon, he saw his two godsons and one goddaughter.
Gu Yinling, upon reaching nearby, bowed to Gu Qijue.
"Godfather, after the fierce battle, a previously non-existent undersea abyss appeared in the Nan Heng Sea."
"We sensed a demigod level presence in the undersea abyss, so we came to report it to you."
