104: Chapter 104 Born Extraordinary

At the center of the altar, a blinding pillar of light ignited first. Immediately after, as if triggering some kind of chain reaction, tens, hundreds, thousands... up to tens of millions of pillars of light erupted into the sky from the land of the Divine Kingdom Core.

The entire one-thousand-square-kilometer Divine Kingdom was instantly illuminated by this brilliant sea of light.

Gu Han, who was in reality, gasped sharply; he could genuinely feel himself growing stronger.

His bones were popping and cracking, and a warm current rushed from his spine straight to his brain.

His eyes, which had been dry from staying up late, now felt incredibly clear; he could even see the veins on leaves dozens of meters outside his window.

His five senses were enhanced, his physique soared, and the fatigue that had been clinging to his body was swept away.

Is this the feedback from his Transcendental Believers?

Gu Han hurriedly entered the Divine Kingdom and used his smart assistant to pull up the Divine Kingdom panel.

Rows of dense notification boxes popped up on the screen, with red and green text flashing wildly.

[Your believer (Black-Armored Ant-men) has broken through to Level 1 Transcendental.]

[Your believer (Shield-Armored Ant-Men) has broken through to Level 1 Transcendental.]

[Your believer (Ant-Fist Shrimp-Man) has broken through to Level 1 Transcendental.]

[Your believer (Hidden-Armor Ant-Man) has broken through to Level 1 Transcendental.]

...

Gu Han scanned the panel at a glance, his heart pounding wildly; he quickly shifted his consciousness into the Divine Kingdom to overlook the scene below.

The Ant-men below were spirited, kowtowing to the sky; surprisingly, their paths to transcendence were not the same.

Some Ant-men were surrounded by faint halos of spiritual energy, clearly having embarked on the path of cultivation transcendence, while others possessed vigorous blood energy, their carapaces gleaming with a metallic luster, following the path of physical transcendence.

Not only that, but Gu Han noticed Transcendental pillars of light also lighting up in the underground nests; these were the brood chamber areas where the Queen Ants resided, and the light was still flickering incessantly.

Those newborn Ant-men larvae that had just broken out of their eggs actually possessed clear Transcendental fluctuations on their bodies.

"Transcendental right after birth?" Gu Han widened his eyes and immediately mobilized the Divine Kingdom's permissions to scan them.

A brand-new entry soon appeared on the panel.

[Ant-man Race]

[Transcendental Trait: Born Transcendental (They do not need to pursue transcendence; they are born transcendental.)]

"Good, good, good!" Gu Han couldn't help but laugh wildly, feeling incredibly relieved.

When others cultivate Transcendental Believers, they have to start from ordinary life forms, pouring in resources, enduring time, and betting on that pitifully low probability of breakthrough; even the offspring of Transcendental beings are not necessarily transcendental themselves.

It's different for him now; as long as the Queen Ants keep reproducing, he can possess an endless army of Transcendental beings.

Even if a batch is wiped out on the front lines, the newly born ones will grow into adults and be able to fill the gaps immediately; his combat strength will absolutely never be interrupted.

After his ecstasy, Gu Han calmed down.

"The professional league is in a few days." He muttered, "If I were to just drag the all-transcendental Ant-men to compete, I'm afraid my identity would be exposed on the spot."

He moved his perspective within the Divine Kingdom, and when his gaze swept over the core area where the [Enlightenment Stone] was located, he froze.

Level 4 Sapiens Qu Nimade was sitting cross-legged next to that huge stone.

Behind him, ten thousand "Spirit Root People" who looked exactly like him and were entirely green were also sitting cross-legged in perfect rows.

This group of guys transformed from Spirit Root Mushroom were currently all emitting spiritual energy vortexes from the tops of their heads.

"Damn, this group of mushroom people have also become transcendental?"

Gu Han hurriedly checked Qu Nimade's logs; he didn't expect that this guy had actually embarked on the path of cultivation. Under Qu Nimade's leadership, these ten thousand green people had all completed the cultivation of the "Spirit Sensing Chapter" and stepped into the realm of initial Spirit Sensing.

"This talent of stepping on one's own feet to ascend to heaven is truly outrageous."

Gu Han looked at this group of green people, and his mind became active. Although the Spirit Root People's intelligence was not high, their perception of spiritual energy was extremely high. The Divine Kingdom just happened to have the S-rank divine plant substitute version, the [Sword Heart Fruit], planted; he could completely equip them with a new cultivation technique.

He immediately exited the Divine Kingdom and opened the trading platform; the more than twenty million credits previously in his account had been unlocked.

Gu Han quickly searched through the cultivation technique section and locked onto a "White Emperor Sword Manual" priced at twenty million.

"That's the one." Gu Han clicked to pay without hesitation.

Why choose this sword manual?

After all, a greatsword counts as a sword, and Qu Nimade counts as having the relevant expertise; these Spirit Root Mushroom People would perfectly imitate Qu Nimade's movements, combined with consuming the Sword Heart Fruit.

This group of fragile green people could completely follow an extreme output build and be used as pure sword cultivator turrets.

After arranging the Spirit Root Mushroom People, Gu Han returned to the issue of the league.

He had to solve the problem of the Transcendental trait; currently, the Ant-men in his Divine Kingdom were all Transcendental, so he couldn't use them for selling or participating in competitions in the future.

An idea popped into Gu Han's mind, "Just go and rent a low-level Divine Kingdom."

As long as he transferred the Queen Ants or a portion of the Ant-men to the rented Divine Kingdom to reproduce, without the baptism of his Divine Kingdom's rules, the newly born Ant-men would not carry the [Born Transcendental] trait.

By then, he could take that batch of ordinary Ant-men to participate in the league.

Having made up his mind, Gu Han was just about to contact his exclusive customer service to rent a Divine Kingdom, as they had stable supply channels.

Suddenly, a violent tremor came from the depths of his mind.

[Warning! Your Divine Kingdom has encountered an unknown spatial tear!]

[Warning! High-energy alien creature invasion detected!]

Gu Han's expression turned joyful; today was going to be a case of good things coming in pairs! He instantly cut into the Divine Kingdom.

In the sky at the edge of the Divine Kingdom, the originally stable spatial barrier looked like a torn piece of rag, pulling open a massive black rift several kilometers long.

Raging seawater, mixed with a pungent fishy smell, poured down from the rift like a waterfall, instantly submerging a large area of land on the periphery.

"Ocean Field Card? Holy crap!"

Gu Han was shocked; it was just a bounty order, why are you risking your life!

Fortunately, his Divine Kingdom's area had increased by a thousand times, otherwise, it would very likely have been submerged.

Accompanied by the roaring sound of waves, a massive black shadow squeezed out from the rift.

It was a Fish-man that was a full two meters tall, its body covered in hard, dark blue scales, holding a dark blue trident covered in barbs in its hand.

Just by standing in the seawater, the surrounding air seemed to be evacuated, forming an absolute spiritual energy zone.

"Level 8 Fish-man!" Gu Han looked at the level notification popped up by the assistant, and the hair all over his body stood on end.

Of all things! Why did it have to be this race!

Behind the Level 8 Fish-man, dense black shadows emerged from the seawater; tens of thousands of Level 7 Fish-men, holding steel forks, let out teeth-grinding roars, surging toward the inland of the Divine Kingdom like a tide.

If this Fish-man's Transcendental trait could ignore his skills, he would suffer a massive loss this time!
