549: Becoming gods one after another

Li Zhen did not know what Yang Dian was thinking.

After hearing him say that he didn't know how much faith Silicon-based lifeforms would provide, he turned to Professor Shen Fei:

"If you don't know, then verify it."

"Xiao Shen has already become a deity, so just find a way to convert a few Silicon-based lifeforms into his believers."

As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something:

"By the way, to avoid any accidents, shouldn't we change our meeting location next?"

"For example, to the outermost planet in the Lingwen Star system."

Professor Shen Fei glanced at Yang Dian, who had given up the main position, then shook his head:

"Elder Li, I'm not planning to contract Silicon-based lifeforms."

"The compatibility of Silicon-based lifeforms is more suitable for physical science researchers."

"As someone who studies biology, I won't join in the fun with them."

Li Zhen raised an eyebrow upon hearing this:

"Are you sure you don't want them?"

Professor Shen Fei nodded:

"Absolutely not."

"If, after reproduction, Silicon-based lifeforms have a sufficient number and they want to share some with me, I would naturally be happy to accept."

"But for now, let's not."

"The number of Silicon-based lifeforms isn't large to begin with, so what would it look like if I, a biologist, took some?"

"Good boy." Li Zhen patted Professor Shen Fei's shoulder, then looked at Yang Dian, who was standing to the side, with a negotiating expression, saying:

"Then, should we help others become gods next?"

Yang Dian nodded:

"That's why I called everyone here in the first place."

After replying to Li Zhen, Yang Dian tapped the podium again.

As soon as the sound rang out, all the tables and chairs in the conference room were moved to the edges of the room.

Yang Dian then spoke to everyone in the conference room who was looking at him:

"Those who want to take Silicon-based lifeforms as believers, stand on the left."

"Those who don't want to take Silicon-based lifeforms as believers, stand on the right."

As Yang Dian's words fell, Li Zhen was the first to stand on the left:

"I, Old Li, have researched physics my entire life. Now that I've encountered living, sentient, thinking gravitational traps that can actively collect dark matter, I really want to study them."

As Li Zhen's words fell, someone shook his head and stood on the right:

"It's hard to leave one's homeland. My wife is still on Earth, and her time is limited. If necessary, I'm willing to go incognito again to do research."

"But now, I just want to spend time with my beloved wife, to accompany her through the last journey of her life. It's also my compensation for disappearing for decades without a word previously."

"I don't want these Silicon-based lifeforms."

Qian Xueming heard this and patted the person's shoulder:

"With the Qi Revival and the world's feedback, people's physical fitness is getting better and better, and their lifespans are also increasing."

"Old Zhao, you want to accompany your wife through the last journey, but who knows how long that journey will be."

After speaking, he stood next to Li Zhen:

"Although I'm in my eighties or nineties, I feel that I'm still at an age to venture out, and my wife will probably agree with my idea."

"Give me a Silicon-based lifeform package."

As soon as Qian Xueming stood firm, Professor Shen Congnan also came to his side:

"Old Qian is right. I've been nourished by the world several times, my physical condition is greatly improved, and my lifespan has greatly increased. Now that I'm about to become a god, my lifespan is expected to increase even more."

"I can't even imagine how long I'll live."

"Although I, an old man, used to be a biology student, upon careful thought, it seems I can still switch to physics at this age."

"You don't mind me sharing some Silicon-based life, do you? ..."

Amidst their conversation, the others also made their choices.

Among them, about 90% wanted Silicon-based lifeforms as believers and were willing to go to other star systems, totaling 375 people.

The remaining 42 people either, like Professor Shen Fei, had no intention of contracting Silicon-based lifeforms from the start.

Or, like 'Old Zhao,' they had various reasons for not wanting to leave Earth.

Seeing this, Yang Dian didn't say much, only taking out 417 'Divine Star Cores' and distributing them to everyone:

"Since you all have chosen, then become gods first."

The people who received the Divine Star Cores looked at each other, then, by prior agreement, ignited the Spark in their palms.

Soon after, teasing voices came from the crowd.

"Old Li, you're no good, your Spark isn't as bright as mine."

"Why don't you say your fire isn't as big as mine?"

"What do you know? Mine is concentrated; concentration is the essence, unlike your bloated one."

"Hmm, how long did Xiao Shen say his Divine Domain was just now? Ten thousand meters? But why is mine only 3,000 meters?"

"You have 3,000 meters? I only have 1,500 meters."

"Hey, none of you can compare to me, I have 8,000 meters."

"I understand, this is probably related to our martial arts cultivation, or rather, our strength before becoming a god."

"Xiao Shen had already stepped into the Qi Circulation Realm before becoming a god, and his Origin was sufficient, so he opened up a Divine Domain of ten thousand meters."

"Our old folks' strength is average, and even with the help of the Divine Star Cores, we can only open up Divine Domains of a thousand-meter level."

"So, the stronger one is, the larger the Divine Domain opened?"

"Not necessarily, there might be other influencing factors."

"That is indeed a topic worth researching."

"Besides the topic of [The influence of one's strength before becoming a god on the Divine Domain], I think we also need to set up several topics like [How to develop faith] and [How to give back to Huaxia through the Divine Dao]..."

Watching the group set dozens, even hundreds, of topics in just a few words, a hint of admiration rose in Yang Dian's eyes.

These were Huaxia's top scientific researchers.

Just a brief chat here, and it would lead to one research direction after another.

'I wonder how much change the Divine Dao will bring to Earth.'

'In short, as long as faith doesn't backfire, for those with poor martial arts Aptitude and who haven't Awakened a powerful talent, it will definitely be a benefit.'

In his thoughts, Yang Dian looked up at the sky again.

Over 400 people successively became gods, but no new anomalies appeared in the sky.

'So, when Professor Shen Fei became a god using the New God Method, the Earth's magnetic field 'remembered' the aura of a deity, and subsequent people becoming gods would no longer cause celestial phenomena to change?'

Just as Yang Dian felt a bit of regret that he couldn't receive another wave of Spiritual Qi rain, Professor Shen Congnan, who had already ignited his divine fire and condensed his Divine Domain, was the first to open his eyes and touch the crimson crystal on his brow.

"Am I considered a god now?"

After muttering to himself, he sensed it carefully again.

"Tsk, my luck really isn't as good as my nephew's; I don't even have a single believer."

Qian Xueming, who had also ignited his divine fire, poked the crystal on his brow. After failing to remove it, he shook his head:

"You want believers? That can be arranged."

"After you die, let the country fully publicize your glorious deeds, promote them well, and build a temple for you. Maybe then people will believe in you."

Professor Shen Congnan squinted at Qian Xueming:

"That's true, but I, an old man, am perfectly alive, why would I want to die? ..."

As the two bickered, Yang Dian, seeing that everyone had ignited their divine fire and condensed their Divine Domains, spoke loudly:

"Now that you all have become gods, the path ahead is for you to walk yourselves."

After speaking, Yang Dian first looked at Zhao Guofei and the others:

"Elder Zhao, since you are not preparing to take Silicon-based lifeforms as believers, then you will need to handle the matter of believers yourselves."

"Whether they are mutated creatures on Earth or the giant lifeforms in the Wuhou Grotto-heaven, as long as they possess intelligence, they can be used as believers."

"As for the Lizardmen in the Wuhou Grotto-heaven, don't even think about them for now."

"All the living Lizardmen have ignited the Spark; even political commissars have to call them comrades when they meet them."

"If you convert them into believers, those political commissars will probably fight you to the death."

Then he looked at Qian Xueming and the others:

"Elder Qian, since you have chosen Silicon-based lifeforms as believers, then under the premise that we do not have the strength to contend against the Star God Race, you must leave Earth to prevent any accidents."

As he spoke, Yang Dian tapped his wristband a few times, having Zero transmit a set of data to everyone:

"This is the existing Silicon-based lifeform races and their numbers. You can distribute them yourselves."

"Once you've distributed them, inform your families."

"If there are no surprises, I will take you to the outer star systems..."
