Of course, for the current Trolian Realm, advancing is not difficult.
When the black tides and King Level monsters can no longer restrain them, expansion becomes the most normal thing.
But the truly important thing is not advancement, but occupation.
Without occupying land and converting the resources within into human combat power, expansion would be meaningless.
Rod is well aware of this fact.
Even killing a powerful being like the God of Contaminated Blood only granted 500 divinity, but eliminating the crisis brought by the God of Contaminated Blood earned Rod 3000 divinity, not to mention there was already 2800 divinity in the soul of the God of Contaminated Blood.
So, merely slaughtering monsters does not provide much help for humanity.
What is truly important is occupying land, acquiring resources, and enhancing combat power.
This is also the original intention for their expansion.
At the same time, it is also their greatest challenge.
