547: Shen Fei, the god, and his octopus followers...

Yang Dian was speaking eloquently on the stage, and the Fuda University Principal, sitting in the front row, in the very center, couldn't help but turn his eyes to his old friend.

The intuition of a Cultivator is always keen.

The Xiamen University Principal, sitting next to him, noticed his gaze and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Old Fu, why are you being so arrogant? Didn't you just get lucky and pick up the number one Genius in the world? Look at you, so smug!"

Hearing his old friend's telepathic message, the Fuda University Principal beamed with joy:

"I just got lucky, what's wrong with that?"

"Why don't you get lucky and pick up the number one Genius in the world?"

"Let alone the number one Genius in the world."

"You can't even pick up a Martial Arts Genius in the top hundred of the Martial Arts Competition by grade, Old Zhu, you're just not up to it ~"

The Xiamen University Principal cast a sideways glance at the smug Fuda University Principal, then closed his eyes and directly sealed his ears with his Qi and blood, choosing to ignore the noise.

As for what Yang Dian was saying on stage?

He understood a bit of lip-reading, so even without hearing the sound, he could tell what Yang Dian was saying through his lips.

Time slowly passed as Yang Dian continued his explanation.

After more than 10 minutes, the event transitioned from Yang Dian's personal speech to a Q&A session.

Another half an hour passed, and seeing that the crowd hadn't asked about the key points he wanted to understand, the Xiamen University Principal couldn't help but raise his hand.

After receiving a nod from Yang Dian, he immediately stood up and asked:

"When will the New God Method be widely popularized? And if we choose Silicon-based life as our followers, will we never be able to return to Earth in this lifetime?"

Hearing the Xiamen University Principal's question, Yang Dian pondered his words for a moment before replying:

"The widespread popularization of the New God Method depends on the civilization's stage of development."

"If one day we find it necessary to popularize the New God Method, then it will naturally be popularized."

"As for the matter of not being able to return to Earth after choosing Silicon-based life as followers, that is only temporary."

"When we have the strength to directly confront the Star Gods, those who have chosen Silicon-based life as followers will naturally be able to return to Earth..."

He then chatted with everyone about the details of becoming a God.

After answering the last question, the time had also reached mid-morning.

After waiting for a while and seeing no more questions, Yang Dian scanned the audience below and said:

"Since you all came to attend this meeting, I presume you are all interested in becoming Gods."

As he spoke, Yang Dian took out a star core fragment glowing with a faint light:

"Who wants to be the first to try this out?"

Everyone exchanged glances, and Professor Shen Fei was the first to stand up:

"I'll do it."

The Fuda University Principal, who had just risen halfway, ready to support his student, sat back down in his chair upon hearing this, looking proudly at the Xiamen University Principal beside him:

"See? These are the people from our Fuda University."

"Not only are our students incredibly strong, but our teachers are also full of drive."

The Xiamen University Principal shot him a sideways glance:

"You're getting a good deal and still acting smug, Old Fu, I never realized you were so shameless before?"

"Is this shameless? Did I say something wrong? Old Zhu, you're mistaken..."

While the two principals argued telepathically, Professor Shen Fei had already walked onto the podium under the watchful eyes of a group of true research giants.

After arriving next to Yang Dian, he first nodded to Yang Dian, then took the star core fragment from Yang Dian's hand:

"Do I just ignite the Dao imprint left inside the star core fragment with Spark?"

Yang Dian nodded, then reiterated:

"During the process of becoming a God, there are many important things related to deities."

"Divinity, Divine Name, Divine Authority, Divine Domain, Divine Kingdom, Divine Throne..."

"Divinity, Divine Name, Divine Authority, and Divine Kingdom are not urgent. The Divine Domain will be built around the star core fragment, and the Divine Throne will need to be condensed by yourself later..."

"The God we become is at most a Demigod, or rather, a divine being within a deity civilization."

"To become a True God, one who can rival the Star-Patrolling Realm or even the Star Dome Realm, still requires personal effort."

"The New God Method is just a starting point."

Professor Shen Fei nodded earnestly, "I understand."

After acknowledging, he didn't hesitate. He immediately visualized 'Spark,' using his mental will as kindling, and ignited a wisp of crimson Spark in his palm.

As the Spark ignited, the Dao runes imprinted by Yang Dian within the star core fragment immediately resonated with the Spark.

The iridescent star core instantly turned crimson, melting like liquid in a flash, and finally transformed into a wisp of red smoke that flew up and merged into Professor Shen Fei's glabella, condensing into a rhomboid-shaped crimson crystal at the center of his brow.

"Boom~~~"

As the crimson crystal appeared, a sudden clap of thunder echoed across the sky.

Yang Dian felt something, and looked up at the firmament.

A faint silver glow flickered in his eyes, and his gaze pierced through the thick ceiling, reaching beyond the sky.

Above, the sun was still bright.

The sky was clear for thousands of miles, as blue as if washed clean.

But the rumbling thunder never stopped.

Some time later, drops of crystalline rain suddenly fell from the high heavens, scattering across the earth.

"A New God descends, and heaven and earth respond?"

Of course, this was just Yang Dian's interpretation.

The true situation was likely that the appearance of the New God disrupted Earth's constantly stable magnetic field.

Once the magnetic field is disturbed, anything can happen.

It could be a sudden thunderbolt, or the sudden appearance of a spatial passage leading to an unknown location, or it could be the earth cracking and the sea waters receding.

Of course, it could also be like now.

A timely rain falls from the sky, Spiritual Qi and water vapor converge, transforming into raindrops that drift down from the heavens, nourishing all things in the world.

'Fuzhou City is about to strike it rich...'

'I wonder if there will be a timely rain from the heavens when others become Gods.'

As his thoughts turned, 99.99% of the raindrops drifting down from the sky instantly disappeared.

Except for the Spiritual Qi rain that, according to its flight path, would land on people, all other rainwater was collected by Yang Dian.

This was also a rare resource.

Instead of wasting it, it was better for him to collect it and use it to Cultivate Martial Artists.

As Yang Dian collected the rainwater, Professor Shen Fei also opened his tightly closed eyes, somewhat puzzled, and touched the crimson crystal on his glabella:

"I've become a God just like that?"

"Aside from being able to vaguely perceive a space with a diameter of over ten thousand meters, there doesn't seem to be any change."

Yang Dian nodded slightly:

"The power of a God comes from followers; it is faith."

"Professor, you currently have neither followers nor faith, only an empty Divine Domain and a blank Divinity, so naturally, you don't feel any change compared to before."

Professor Shen Fei nodded slightly:

"So, next, I need to develop followers?"

As he spoke, he looked down at the ground again.

"However... I seem to have followers..."

Seeing Yang Dian's puzzled expression, Professor Shen Fei pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized something. Under the gaze of the Chinese scientific and research giants, he waved his hand towards the ground.

The next moment, a mutated Blue-Ringed Octopus with over 30 eyes, which would make an ordinary person dizzy and nauseous just by looking at it, appeared out of thin air in his hand.

"This little guy seems to have become my follower..."
