158: Chapter 157 The Laws of the Divine Kingdom

Looking at the clear signs of a secondary impact deep within the large crater, Gu Han's mind began to race.

But why didn't magic and Cultivate improve along with the rise in super-normal Rank? Both of these, like runes, required learning and accumulation.

Perhaps this had to do with the special super-normal methods of rune creatures; runes seemed like innate abilities, quite different from the Acquired learning required for magic and Cultivate.

Without hesitation, Gu Han dragged out all the Frenzied Waves and cross-bred them with the queen ants of various ant colonies; he wanted all Ant-men to possess this runic power.

After experimentation, even the Ant-men capable of generating electricity, such as the Stealth-Armor, Sting-Fish, and Leviathan, would produce a superposition state every time, generating electricity twice.

Then it was necessary for the Ant-man Race to learn magic and spellcraft; by then, whether it was a normal attack or a spell-based attack, they would be able to release them in superposition.

Gu Han immediately called over Ier, the Level 7 Archmage who was wandering near the spirit fields.

"Ier, you should also guide the Ant-man Race, teach them offensive and defensive magic, or even healing spells," Gu Han said, pointing at the new generation of Ant-men.

Hearing this, Ier's old face looked uneasy: "Divine Lord, magic is a profound discipline! Although they have eaten many Magic Marrow Fruits and have some magical affinity, magic also relies heavily on Comprehension Ability. It doesn't mean they will learn it just because I teach them. Moreover, the arcane aura within the Divine Kingdom is currently scarce..."

"Just teach them," Gu Han patted his shoulder. "You make a list now, and I'll bring back more magic-related items. You are, after all, the only Level 7 Archmage in the Divine Kingdom."

Ier's eyes lit up instantly; he had already eaten so many Magic Marrow Fruits that they were no longer effective, and he had just been searching the spirit fields for other treasures.

He straightened his back and patted his chest in assurance: "Rest assured, Divine Lord! Teaching without discrimination is the highest professional standard for us Archmages!"

Seeing the Divine Lord leave, Ier happily found a spacious flat area and selected a batch of Ant-men that looked slightly more intelligent.

"Let's start with the most basic one, the Fire-Starting Incantation that even children of our Elf Race know." Ier cleared his throat, demonstrated the incantation to gather fire elements, and a small flame appeared at his fingertip.

The Ant-men followed along, but several syllables were completely off-key.

Ier sighed and corrected them several times until, finally, a small flame "popped" into existence at the fingertip of one of the Ant-men.

Ier nodded, thinking to himself that the Elf Race was truly the darling of the Magic God; these alien races had to struggle so much just to learn the basics. But fortunately, it had finally ignited, so he could consider his duty fulfilled.

Wait.

Ier rubbed his eyes and leaned in to stare at the flame. Just a moment ago, hadn't the flame flickered twice?

With his keen perception as a Level 7 Archmage, the surrounding fire elements had definitely been drawn twice just now. It was just that the Fire-Starting Incantation was too small, and the two flames instantly overlapped, making it look like one.

"Must be an illusion..." Ier muttered, then carefully observed other Ant-men who had successfully lit a fire; it did seem to be twice.

"Hiss... that shouldn't be right, should it?"

He decided to switch to a slightly more offensive spell. "Watch closely, Small Wind Blade!"

He flipped his wrist, chanted the spell, and a cyan wind blade cut through the air.

The Ant-men followed suit once again, chanting in a stuttering manner.

A few minutes later, an intelligent Ant-Fist Shrimp-Man waved its claw-arm.

"Swish—Swish!"

Two identical cyan wind blades flew out, overlapping, and struck the hard stone, leaving two small scratches of varying depths.

Ier froze in place, his mouth slightly agape.

He stared fixedly at that Ant-man, his mind buzzing. No magic staff, no Divine Lord skill buff—how could it release two wind blades!

My Magic God! What is this thing?

Double Casting?!

This was a legendary-level technique recorded in the Magic God's codex! How many Archmages had spent their entire lives without even touching the threshold, and these Ant-men, who couldn't even chant spells properly, just waved their hands and used it?

Ier felt like he had wasted the first half of his life studying magic.

Since entering Gu Han's Divine Kingdom, this was not the first time he had experienced such a frustrating sense of his worldview collapsing.

Seeing Magic Marrow Fruits larger than a person was one thing, but now these ants could even perform Double Casting.

He took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down, and forced a justification: "It's fine, it's fine, the Divine Lord is inherently so great; at least these Ant-men learn slowly."

But the curiosity in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and Ier began desperately teaching various Elementary magic spells. Fireball, Water Bullet, Healing Spell... He wanted to see what kind of visual feast Double Casting for all magic would be.

Gu Han didn't pay attention to these things at the time; it was only later, when reviewing the Divine Kingdom logs and seeing Ier's teaching records, that he understood why Ier was teaching so diligently.

Afterwards, Gu Han patrolled the area and raised an eyebrow.

In the core area, the Sapiens that had been bought previously were residing there, currently lying comfortably on animal skin mats, directing the surrounding Ant-men to serve tea and water, looking just like aristocrats.

Because these Sapiens looked very similar to the first-generation priests and carried the shadows of past Sapiens instructors, the Ant-man Race held them in extreme reverence, treating them directly as divine envoys.

"They certainly know how to enjoy themselves."

Gu Han issued a divine oracle, ordering Qu Nimade to come and lead these Sapiens.

"Have these Sapiens transcribe and organize all the historical stone carvings of the various races and compile them into books," Gu Han instructed.

According to the records in the Divine Kingdom logs, as the civilizational heritage and various stone carving documents of the Snake-men, Lizardman, and Troll races were moved in, the social structure within the Divine Kingdom began to become complex and diverse.

Since the Divine Kingdom had all these races, civilization had to begin Fusion, and rules had to be established.

Gu Han directly promulgated six divine oracles and had the Clan Chief of each race transcribe them and carefully teach them to the younger generations.

"First, implement the unified language of the Sapiens within the Divine Kingdom to facilitate communication between the various races. The original customs of each race shall be preserved, with no interference, allowing for harmonious coexistence!"

"Second, uniformly revise super-normal biographical classics such as 'Records of the Divine Kingdom', 'Biographies of Immortals', and 'Biographies of Magic', encourage the promotion of the Creator God's achievements, as well as the creation of super-normal heroic literature, and establish a unified faith!"

"Third, all children of every race must learn the Sapiens language! Everyone will have basic resource supplies; those with excellent super-normal talent and those with special functions will receive additional resource cultivation! The strong shall protect the home and country, and the commoners shall stabilize the logistics!"

"Fourth, the Divine Kingdom will open up all super-normal resources; Cultivate opportunities, high-level divine materials, and rare resources will be distributed according to super-normal Rank. Each race will hold a Divine Kingdom Martial Arts Tournament every four years, and territory resources will be allocated according to the martial arts rankings!"

"Fifth, the whole nation shall advocate the spirit of valor and diligently Cultivate combat power. The various races shall help each other in harmony, encourage sparring, and strictly prohibit internal fighting and oppression!"

"Sixth, those who are dedicated to the public good and strictly abide by the laws shall receive divine grace; those who are slack, lazy, or violate discipline and cause trouble shall be punished according to the regulations; those who refuse to mend their ways or worship original gods shall be directly exiled!"

Once the six divine oracles were issued, the people of all races in the entire Divine Kingdom prostrated themselves on the ground, their fanatical cheers shaking the heavens and the earth, and many prisoners of war and even slaves were filled with gratitude.

Although conflicts between intelligent beings were inevitable, Gu Han could only try his best to minimize casualties between the various races in the early stages.

Raising so many races was also to unlock the super-normal characteristics of each race; how long they could ultimately survive in the development of the Divine Kingdom would depend on their own strength.
