150: Chapter 150 Revitan
"For example, lightning in the sky." The Old Professor tapped the blackboard. "When lightning enters the sea, it spreads horizontally. If your water isn't deep enough, the powerful current will instantly change the local water temperature, causing underwater creatures to become paralyzed, stunned, or even die collectively. Furthermore, the electrolysis of water produces hydrogen and oxygen, triggering severe ecological chaos."
"Many people's Divine Kingdom area isn't large; it can't even be called an ocean. But if your seawater is deep enough, the power of the lightning will be rapidly diluted, causing damage only to the surface layer, with almost no significant impact on the deep-sea ecology..."
The professor then conducted a detailed analysis from multiple perspectives, including ecological invasion, freezing, submarine volcanoes, and lightning entering the sea.
Gu Han felt as if he had been enlightened, finally understanding why his potent poison was ineffective.
The Demigod Kuanglan's Divine Kingdom happened to be the deep sea. The opponent must have considered various situations long ago and definitely had preventive measures, perhaps even divine structures to purify the seawater.
Previously, he had discussed with Ier whether it was possible to use ice elemental magic to freeze the entire sea area.
Ier clearly stated that it couldn't be done; the area was too large, and even though he specialized in ice elements, it wouldn't work.
What was even more troublesome was that there were one hundred thousand Merfolk in the opponent's Divine Kingdom.
Merfolk were extremely sensitive to arcane fluctuations. Once a mage cast spells on a large scale, the Merfolk would notice immediately, and the opponent would then have countermeasures ready.
Some might say, just launch an attack to lure them across the Divine Kingdom passage, and then use Forced Breeding to control them.
This method could actually only solve the issue for a portion of the believers. Even someone as strong as Gu Han would still dispatch the Ant-man Race to guard the core area, just like how the Level 9 Cyst Demon would guard the core back then.
If he used the old methods again, Gu Han worried there wouldn't be enough time.
The Old Professor's series of lessons completely opened up Gu Han's train of thought.
Since both poisoning and freezing wouldn't work, and he wasn't sure if the rune creatures needed oxygen, he reformulated two plans.
As soon as the bell rang, Gu Han left immediately.
He found an empty personal training room, locked the door, and his consciousness sank directly into his Divine Kingdom.
He planned to first buy a volcano terrain card to test the waters; a volcano could evaporate most of the seawater, which would be the fastest method.
At this moment, Tang Wuying, who was working hard in the Divine Kingdom, was targeted by Gu Han.
Since he had to use a terrain card, he naturally couldn't go himself, and Tang Wuying was the only suitable candidate. Besides, he wouldn't die; at most, he would be sent back to reality.
Tang Wuying held the volcano card with a suspicious look. "Are you really giving me a vacation? It's not some dangerous place, is it?"
Gu Han didn't intend to tell him the truth and nodded seriously. "You just need to enter this virtual coordinate, place the volcano, and you can come back. It's not really dangerous, just the ocean. I've even prepared a diving suit for you. With your physical fitness as a Level 4 God Lord, you can withstand the water pressure in the shallow sea."
Tang Wuying eventually crossed the Divine Kingdom passage reluctantly, but returned shortly after. According to him, the volcano card couldn't be activated at all.
It seemed the other side must have divine structures that prohibited the use of terrain cards.
Gu Han snatched the volcano card back and dismissed him. "Alright, get back to work. What are you looking at? You didn't succeed in placing the volcano, did you? Then take a rest for now; I'll come find you later!"
Since the volcano card wouldn't work, he had to use the most primitive method: research new creatures to solve the problem.
Gu Han planned to start with electric eels and Thunder Servants to create creatures capable of releasing high-voltage electricity underwater. As long as the quantity was sufficient, he could clear the field at the fastest speed, but that was far from enough.
Over the past two days, people had been trading with him on the black market software, and he had managed to acquire three transcendent crystals. Added to the ten he had left, he had exactly thirteen.
Gu Han's thoughts flickered, and he arrived above the Titan Mountains. Ever since the Titan Ant-man research was successful, Gu Han had closed the [brain storage] of the Titan Race, fearing it would affect the Titan Ant-man.
It was time to try activating the transcendent characteristics of the Titan Race. Gu Han locked onto the male Titan that had recovered well.
After the first five were consumed, the male Titan's muscles merely expanded rapidly, his stature grew taller, and tiny bloody cracks appeared on his skin surface.
After the eighth one, the behemoth was already in so much pain that tears were welling up in his eyes, but he yielded to Gu Han's might and could only continue to absorb the transcendent crystals.
Until the eleventh transcendent crystal completely melted, the male Titan let out an earth-shattering roar. A visible layer of golden shockwave exploded from his body, blowing away all the giant rocks within hundreds of meters.
A trace of the rules of the transcendent characteristic merged into the Divine Kingdom Core.
That was a Breakthrough to Transcendent?! Back then, the Wild King had to swallow fourteen to break through.
Gu Han still couldn't quite believe it and hurriedly pulled up the smart assistant to scan directly.
[Kindred: Titan Race] [Rank: Tier 1 Transcendent (transcendent crystal)] [Transcendent Characteristic: Bigger is Better (No Titan will refuse to grow bigger; their body size will adapt and continue to grow larger according to the Divine Kingdom area.)]
Done! It seemed this method could really activate transcendent characteristics.
After purchasing the required species, it was time for creation. Ever since he discovered the forced growth skill was particularly useful, Gu Han had asked the software's exclusive customer service to negotiate a deal.
Time is money. With the frequency of Gu Han's hybridization experiments, paying five million each time was too much of a loss. He directly threw down one billion to negotiate an unlimited number of times within a month with the [Fast Growth] God Lord skill company.
His figure flashed, and he found Tang Wuying, who was secretly eating the Chicken Mushroom Tai Sui.
"Can't tell, you quite like eating it. That was made with Green Skin and your favorite grass chicken, plus meat ganoderma." Gu Han raised an eyebrow and teased.
Seeing Gu Han land suddenly, Tang Wuying was so startled he sprang up from the ground, spitting out the Chicken Mushroom Tai Sui. "Gu... Gu Han! What do you want now! I just rested for a little while! Even the donkeys of a landlord aren't worked like you work me!"
Gu Han ignored his complaints and handed him the electric eels that had been seeded by the Thunder Servant.
"Less nonsense. Retain and merge the power generation characteristics of the Thunder Servant and the electric eel, and keep the fish's appearance."
Although Tang Wuying looked reluctant, he honestly began to cast his [Selective Breeding]. Having done many experiments with Gu Han, he was gradually convinced by Gu Han's train of thought.
Half an hour later, the first batch of sheep-faced electric eels, with horns on their heads and powerful bio-electricity, were matured and returned.
"The quantity is insufficient, and the self-preservation ability is also lacking." Gu Han pinched his chin, carefully examining the few electric eels.
"What?!" Tang Wuying's eyes widened. "Adding sea urchins and octopuses again! I'm about to vomit! Adding so many creatures together! It's very troublesome!"
"Retain the sea urchin's spikes and reproductive ability, the octopus's tentacles can effectively control enemies for continuous electric shocks, and continue to optimize the electric eel's discharge characteristic." Gu Han completely ignored his complaints.
He even watched his skill threads and began to direct him: "I want this, this, and this!"
Tang Wuying's eye twitched. Gu Han could actually understand his skills in such a short time.
As time ticked by, the characteristics were continuously screened and optimized under the intervention of the skills.
The moment the new species was matured and returned, Tang Wuying only felt his scalp tingling.
The new creature's head presented a weirdly twisted sheep-face shape, with Aristotle's lantern-shaped teeth, wild and ostentatious spikes on its head, and inside the head shell were eight thick octopus tentacles covered with barbs and suckers, while the body was a long eel shape.
Tang Wuying's lips trembled. "Gu Han, how exactly does your brain grow? Who would create such anti-human things?"
"This is just the beginning." Gu Han retrieved the Tier 1 Transcendent male Titan and selected a strong female fish for hybridization.
After the Reproduction ended, the male Titan was already scared and ran away. Gu Han pointed to the pregnant female fish and added requirements: "Remember! I only want the Titan Race's body size characteristic."
Tang Wuying's eyes were bloodshot. After four consecutive skill failures, in the fifth attempt, he finally managed it by luck.
The newly born creature was named Leviathan by Gu Han.
The dense swarm of Leviathans matured and returned, their size more than ten times larger than before.
For the final process, Gu Han chose the largest Dragon Lizard Ant Queen for hybridization.
Amidst Tang Wuying's wailing, the final adjustments were completed.
One hundred thousand Tier 2 Transcendent ant eggs were sent by Gu Han into the virtual coordinate to be matured.
Just at this moment, the entire Divine Kingdom suddenly let out a massive, thunderous roar without warning.
The edge of the Divine Kingdom began to stretch outward violently, the outer sea area instantly widened, and the clouds in the sky surged outward crazily.
An unprecedented, vast energy rushed into Gu Han's body.
He felt his whole self undergoing some kind of qualitative change; his Mental Energy, which had been somewhat over-depleted, instantly became filled to a terrifying degree.
A Breakthrough, Level 4 God Lord.
Gu Han opened the smart assistant to check the detailed logs.
[Your follower (Spirit Root Mushroom People) reached Tier 4 Transcendent] [Current total area of Divine Kingdom: 105,000 square kilometers!]
Beside him, Tang Wuying, who was lying spread-eagled, stared blankly at the ascension phenomenon descending from the sky, and then at the surging Aura on Gu Han, already completely numb.
He gasped for air, his chest heaving violently.
"Level 4... What kind of Genius am I, a once-in-a-millennium talent!" Tang Wuying's eyes lost focus, and he muttered to himself, "It's all flattery! It's all fawning! Worthless! Hehehehe hahaha, he's Level 4! I'm also Level 4! Then I can also be considered a Genius, hahaha!"
After mocking himself, Tang Wuying felt a deep sense of powerlessness wash over him.
Gu Han's Divine Kingdom Awakening had only been a few months, and he had already caught up to him. He himself had Awakened two years early at sixteen, and he was now nineteen.
With this growth rate, Father, can you really manage to step into the God Realm and rescue me before Gu Han breaks through to become a God?
