117: Chapter 117 A Natural Success

The 11,100 square kilometer Divine Kingdom was ninety percent empty land.

Why hadn't he started building?

Because it was about to undergo a terrifying expansion, reaching eight times its current size.

The disintegration operation, planned for nearly a month, was finally entering the closing stage; everything had fallen into place, and there was no need for further casualties.

Just a few hours ago, Gu Han had sent all thirty thousand Wind-Swallowing Cyst Demon raised within his Divine Kingdom into the opposing Divine Kingdom to deal with the leaking poisonous mist.

In fact, according to simulations, there shouldn't have been much poisonous mist left. After all, without other Cyst Demon to support, the Level 9 Cyst Demon would certainly not waste a single bit of poisonous mist.

But for safety reasons, Gu Han still bought several buckets of antidote, making the Hidden-Armor Ant-Man all soak in it before entering for reconnaissance.

Additionally, Gu Han prepared ten thousand gas masks for the Black-Armored Ant-men who needed to work on the surface.

Doing all this was, of course, not for war, but to take away the remaining surface resources, divine plant, and divine buildings from the other side.

Gu Han also took out a sports video camera, attached it to the neck of a Black-Armored Ant-Man, and arranged for it to wander around.

At this moment, Gu Han was pressing the fast-forward button, staring at the recent footage on the screen.

The sky was gray, the ground was bare, there was no vegetation at all, and everywhere was cracked stone and yellow sand. There were no dangerous factors; the entire ecosystem had completely collapsed.

Gu Han tossed the camera aside; he had waited too long for this moment.

"Let's go."

Two slightly larger Black-Armored Ant-men beside him flapped their wings, carrying Gu Han's consciousness steadily into the black rift.

Looking out, there was nothing but yellow sand and exposed rock layers. This was an endless Gobi desert, desolate and barren. Withered vines were everywhere on the ground, and occasionally, a few shriveled Cyst Demon corpses could be seen.

The Black-Armored Ant-men carried Gu Han and flew rapidly toward the core area, the wind and sand scraping against the lenses of their gas masks with a rustling sound.

Ten minutes later, a magnificent mountain palace appeared on the horizon.

Gu Han signaled to stop. A Hidden-Armor Ant-Man landed, its antennae twitching rapidly as it reported the situation ahead to him.

The massive Level 9 transcendent in the core area was no longer in the mountain palace. It must have been suffering from drug withdrawal, having crawled outside to mix with a pile of Mushroom Person of similar size, frantically digging into the ground.

They were digging for that huge Cyst Demon Potato.

Gu Han looked at those mountain-sized piles of Mushroom Person; leaving these things would only hinder the Black-Armored Ant-men from scavenging.

He turned his head and gestured to the group of Hidden-Armor Ant-Man in the air.

Zzzzt!

Blue electric light instantly connected into a net in the air, and tens of thousands of strong electrical currents descended from the sky, covering the entire core area.

Those giant Mushroom Person that were digging were instantly scorched into shriveled, charred lumps.

In just a few minutes, the giant Mushroom Person were wiped out.

The Black-Armored Ant-men immediately swarmed onto the ground, transporting the divine buildings and resources of the core area into the passage.

That Level 9 transcendent Cyst Demon, with its low intelligence at this moment, continued to dig head-down even after taking a round of electric shocks, shouting repeatedly: "Poison! Poison! Hungry!"

Gu Han ignored it, ordering the Ant-men to retreat quickly once they had emptied the area, while he had the Ant-men take him into the mountain palace.

The once magnificent mountain palace was now dilapidated, with several massive stone pillars collapsed on the ground, clearly broken by the Level 9 transcendent.

The Divine Kingdom Core was floating in the center of the mountain palace, but it was dim and listless to the extreme at this moment.

The halo had shrunk to the size of a fist, flickering on and off, like a candle flame wavering in the wind.

Perhaps the demigod's physical body in reality, having been hungry for nearly a month, was nearing its end.

Gu Han let the two Ant-men beside him retreat first, while he waited on the spot until all the believers had evacuated.

Finally, it was time to close the net.

Gu Han reached out and grabbed the halo.

Large chunks of the ground began to crack.

The sky became even gloomier, and the space along the border was folding violently. The once vast wasteland was shrinking inward at a terrifying speed.

Mountains were collapsing, riverbeds were shattering, and everything was being pushed by an invisible hand, squeezed toward the center.

Gu Han stood still, not moving.

He was a God Lord and would not be harmed by the collapse of the Divine Kingdom's space.

This extraction lasted for ten minutes.

A massive amount of divine origin surged madly into his glabella.

He could perceive his Divine Kingdom growing rapidly, the original boundaries pushing outward countless times over.

And the demigod's Divine Kingdom beneath his feet had shrunk from a large world into a small mound.

Only an initial area of 600,000 square meters remained in total.

That Level 9 Cyst Demon had nowhere to run and was directly struck by the rapidly shrinking spatial boundary. The massive transcendent life form instantly turned into minced meat, mixed into the soil.

Gu Han looked at the tiny crystal in his hand; the divine origin of over eighty thousand square kilometers had been completely drained.

Now he would crush it and end this demigod's life.

Gu Han's fingers just began to apply force.

An extremely immense force suddenly exploded from deep within the core, slamming hard against Gu Han's palm.

Gu Han's arm went numb, and his entire body was forcibly ejected from the Divine Kingdom, unable to control himself.

The scene before his eyes blurred.

Gu Han returned to his own Divine Kingdom.

The black opening in mid-air, which had been maintained for a long time, instantly closed, completely disconnecting from his Divine Kingdom.

Gu Han quickly checked the Level 6 Cyst Demon that was still fighting day and night, lifted its sound shielding, but after repeated attempts, there was still no response.

Gu Han could be certain that the demigod's consciousness was no longer there.

What on earth was going on!

At that last moment, he hadn't even crushed the core yet; did the demigod's main body die naturally, or did someone else kill him?

Forget it, no point in overthinking; at any rate, the divine origin was finally in his hands.

Gu Han flew up and carefully sensed for a moment; the world was broader than ever before.

Including the original area, it was now over 99,000 square kilometers, similar to the size of a medium-sized province.

It could be said that below the demigod level, absolutely no God Lord had a Divine Kingdom larger than his.

He designated one-third of the outer area as a marine landscape and then arranged for the large-scale Reproduction of all the Titan Race animals and plants.

Ten female Titans also successively gave birth to cubs, two Werewolf Titans and eight Ant-man Titans. Currently, the werewolves were in good condition, but the Ant-man Titans were somewhat deformed; the Titan Race grew and developed too slowly, which was very unfavorable for selecting high-quality crossbreeding.

If only he had Tang Wuying's [Selective Breeding] skill; it should be able to allow the Queen Ant to produce high-quality Titan genes, achieving the goal of mass reproduction without needing to rely on female Titans for Reproduction.

For this reason, Gu Han even posted a bounty task on the black market, looking for God Lords with similar skills; perhaps he could find someone to cooperate with in the future.

A small Divine Kingdom had its small benefits, and a large Divine Kingdom had its large troubles; the required funds also grew geometrically.

Even the ever-reliable Six-Winged Chicken could not supply the rapidly expanding Ant-man Race.

He opened the smart assistant to tally the Ant-man Race:

[Fine Black Ant-men: 100 million]

[Hidden-Armor Ant-Man: 70 million]

[Black-Armored Ant-men: 8 million]

[Shield-Armored Ant-Men: 10 million]

[Ant-Fist Shrimp-Man: 20 million]

Total: 208 million population.

Excluding the "Wild King" that was fed four transcendent crystal, the entire Ant-man Race was at Level 1 transcendence.
