If one looked even closer, those smaller spheres themselves were composed of countless tiny points of light.
Of course, given Lucas's current level of perception, he could tell that these were not photons at the microscopic level.
But after observing carefully, Lucas discovered that each tiny point of light was actually energy arranged in particle form, organized in an extremely special structure.
Subconsciously, Lucas tried to peer deeper into the microscopic level.
But in the very next moment, a powerful wave of dizziness struck him.
This was clearly the result of excessive mental exhaustion.
Startled, Lucas immediately withdrew his consciousness and stopped trying to probe deeper.
"It seems my spiritual trainning still isn't enough to observe the deeper layers of reality."
Lucas felt a bit regretful.
But after thinking about it again, he realized that once he obtained this divine domain, he could study it whenever he wanted.
With that thought, he relaxed.
At that moment, Lucas suddenly had an idea.
He began pulling his perspective back to the macroscopic level.
Immediately, the vast ocean of intertwined silver threads reappeared before his eyes.
But this time, what he saw was completely different.
Now Lucas understood what those threads were made of.
From a macroscopic viewpoint, the entire divine domain was an immense and incredibly intricate structure.
It was just like the human body—an astonishingly precise creation when observed at the microscopic level.
Inside Lucas's spiritual world, the structure of the divine domain began to simulate itself, like a computer rendering a three-dimensional model.
First came the tiny points of light.
Those points combined to form the core sphere.
Then the sphere extended outward into countless threads of energy, weaving together into a network.
Finally, a miniature divine domain formed inside Lucas's mind, resonating with the real divine domain outside.
Lucas had a feeling—
If he could observe a layer even deeper than those points of light, his strength might advance another major step forward.
Unfortunately, his current spiritual level wasn't sufficient.
If Hela knew what he was trying to do, she would probably find it ridiculous.
After all, Lucas was essentially trying to learn how to drive before even learning how to walk.
Soon after, Lucas followed Hela's instructions.
He guided his spiritual power into the core of the domain.
But the moment his consciousness touched the core—
It was like a bomb had exploded.
In an instant, countless streams of information flooded into his mind.
Fragments of memory, scenes, and enormous amounts of knowledge surged into his consciousness.
Even Lucas couldn't help letting out a muffled groan.
It felt as if his brain were about to burst apart.
The sensation was unbearable.
At that moment, Hela spoke:
"Lucas, endure it."
"As long as you can withstand this information surge, the divine domain will become yours."
"After all, it never belonged to you in the first place."
"If you want to take it, you must pay the price."
Lucas's mind was already buzzing violently.
Hela's words reached him, but they sounded distant and unclear.
All he could do was grit his teeth and endure the pain while trying to process the incoming information.
As more and more data poured in, the pain grew worse.
It felt like his head was about to split open.
Then suddenly—
The miniature divine domain model inside Lucas's spiritual world began glowing faintly.
The streams of information crashing into his mind were like bees discovering a hive.
They rushed toward the miniature domain.
The miniature domain accepted them all.
It absorbed the information while expanding continuously.
Lucas's pain instantly decreased.
The unbearable pressure faded.
From that moment on, Lucas simply guided the miniature domain as it absorbed the incoming information.
Time passed gradually.
Eventually, when the torrent of information finally stopped, Lucas noticed something astonishing.
The miniature divine domain had expanded over a hundred times its original size.
Now it emitted a soft glow, like a crystal chandelier, radiating a heavy and profound aura.
Then an indescribable sensation arose.
Lucas felt his mind suddenly become lighter and clearer.
His thinking speed sharpened dramatically.
The difference was like the contrast between someone exhausted after staying awake all night and someone who had just woken up after a perfect sleep.
Meanwhile, the core of the divine domain before him had transformed into a completely transparent sphere of light.
All Lucas had to do was place his consciousness into it.
Once he did, he would obtain full ownership.
The moment Lucas gained control of the domain—
The entire space became like an extension of his own mind.
Everything inside it was instantly perceptible to him.
Even with his eyes closed, he could clearly perceive Hela's appearance.
He could even sense the subtle fluctuations between her divine energy and the domain itself.
It was almost like a state of omniscience.
Through the information he had absorbed, Lucas also gained extensive knowledge about divine domains.
For example—
He could store enormous amounts of external energy inside the domain.
Once inside the domain, he could draw upon that energy instantly, without delay.
In other words, within the domain his energy supply would be virtually endless.
Almost no concealment technique could escape his perception.
At that moment, Lucas opened his eyes.
Yet the sense of omniscience remained.
"Congratulations," Hela said.
"You now possess your own divine domain."
Lucas nodded.
"This feeling is incredible."
"I've never experienced anything like it before."
"Now I finally understand why gods are so confident when fighting within their own domains."
"You'll get used to it soon," Hela replied.
"And you should know that a divine domain has far more functions than you currently realize."
"Each god's domain develops its own unique powers."
"You'll discover them over time."
"I won't go into detail now."
She then added seriously:
"But remember one thing."
"The fastest and simplest way to expand and strengthen your domain is by devouring other domains."
"However, I don't recommend doing that."
"At least not until you are strong enough."
"If you provoke someone far beyond your level, your domain might end up becoming their nourishment."
"So in the early stages, your task is to continuously strengthen it with your own energy and spirit."
"Once your domain grows to a certain stage, you can try devouring weaker spaces—or the dead domains of fallen gods."
She paused before continuing.
"And one more thing."
"You must never let anyone know the exact location of your domain."
"Not even the people closest to you."
