184: Chapter 183 Expanding the Number of Believers

After checking around, he was slightly disappointed; it did not trigger a transcendent characteristic.

The transcendent characteristic of the Murloc Race.

[Cannot be Hit] It might be a fish, or it might not be, but it is very slippery. Cannot be Hit, unaffected by enemy combat skills.

This thing is simply a Sharp Weapon in divine wars, immune to the effects of combat-type skills, making it less likely to be annoyed by enemy skills.

"What a pity." Gu Han touched his chin; in that case, he could only rely on smashing transcendent crystals.

Aside from the Murloc Race's [Cannot be Hit], there was also the Mushroom Person's [Inseparable] characteristic. Both of these were strategic-level abilities that Gu Han planned to prioritize activating using transcendent crystals.

Now he only had seven transcendent crystals in his hands. In the short term, he did not want to trade transcendent crystals on the software, yet he was in extreme need of them.

Gu Han suddenly remembered something: the Military Defense Department cleanup team he had previously encountered in the Cataclysm Realm had mentioned that military merits could be exchanged for transcendent crystals.

Furthermore, there was someone he had always neglected—Li Jiaojiao.

Teacher Qin Lin's classmate, a teacher at Jiangcheng University, someone who could pull out fifteen transcendent crystals in a single bet. It was said her family was in the mining business, so she should have channels.

Gu Han casually sent a text message to Teacher Qin Lin, inquiring about Li Jiaojiao's family business.

Watching the eight-colored fire burn, this also brought up a very realistic problem.

The consumption of the Power Of Faith doubled once again.

He now intended to expand the Ant-man Race endlessly, requiring a greater transcendent quantity to provide the Power Of Faith.

At the same time, since transcendents had already appeared in the Murloc Race, the plan to cultivate the Murloc Race as the second main force had to be put on the agenda.

Like the Lizardman Race, the Murloc Race had a wide variety of species and possessed the advantage of being amphibious. In future Divine Kingdom wars, the Murloc Race would definitely be a formidable battle force.

The Reproduction capability of the Murloc Race was also extremely strong, but they did not lay eggs; they relied entirely on live birth.

When female murlocs reached the Reproduction period, a single litter could give birth to thousands of young cubs.

The newly dropped murloc cubs were extremely tiny, about the same as the Fine Black Ant-men.

The direct consequence brought by being too small in body size was extreme fragility. A carnivorous sea beast passing by could just open its mouth and swallow most of them like plankton in one gulp; their survival rate was actually not very high.

But in the sea, these fellows moved extremely smoothly. The water pressure of the deep sea had no effect on them at all, and swift currents found it difficult to cause resistance, just like people moving freely on land.

Within the total area of 340,000 square kilometers, the ocean occupied a full quarter. Currently, this small sea area was still quite spacious.

Although the land and underground spaces had been dug into a network of paths by the Ant-man Race, with the population soaring, they would sooner or later fall into a crowded state.

Crossbreed the Ant-man Race and the Murloc Race to cultivate more amphibious Ant-men.

With the genes of the Ant-man Race, the cubs' Physique and survival rate would also be greatly enhanced.

By then, this new generation of Ant-men could completely be driven into the sea to live, just like the previous Ant-Fist Shrimp-Man, fully developing this quarter of the ocean territory.

This not only alleviated land pressure but also utilized underwater resources to the absolute limit.

The most formidable aspect of the Ant-man Race lay in that "Born Transcendental" characteristic. Currently, the number of Transcendental Believers inside the Divine Kingdom was around 300 million.

According to the completely unreasonable Reproduction speed of the Ant-man Race, coupled with the ocean area, if they were let loose to expand endlessly, the entire Divine Kingdom's underground and seabed would be completely stuffed.

A rough calculation showed that the total number of Transcendental Believers could directly soar to around 900 million!

What kind of Power Of Faith yield would that be!

Why did predecessors leave behind that empirical saying of "knowing all Laws is inferior to mastering one Law"?

To put it bluntly, most of it was due to insufficient resources.

An ordinary divine lord's initial area was only that big; to enclosure-rear multiple races, an extremely huge Mortal class would be produced.

The Power Of Faith was mainly produced by Transcendental Believers, yet every day they still had to consume massive amounts of food and supplies to support Mortals.

Many divine lords walking the War God Path and specializing in combat units were indeed fierce when fighting, but when they turned back to look at their Divine Kingdom, even their own believers were almost starving to death, and in the end, they could only shelter some Life Class divine lords, relying on them to offer rations.

Therefore, they could only pick one Dao and walk it to the dark, minimizing unnecessary consumption as much as possible.

Gu Han completely lacked such concerns.

In his hands was the Ant-man Race with the Born Transcendental trait, directly skipping the Mortal stage that consumed the most resources, starting with everyone as transcendents.

Coupled with the large amount of walking Heaven And Earth Treasures cultivated within the Divine Kingdom, as well as the species continuously optimized by Tang Wuying, the foundation of the Divine Kingdom was already ridiculously thick; he had no less than ten kinds of S-rank divine structures alone.

In the future, the area of the Divine Kingdom would continue to expand.

Too many Laws? Who stipulated that having many Laws meant one had to comprehend them all thoroughly at the same time? One could completely pick the most suitable one to practice first.

The multi-colored fire burned the Power Of Faith at a truly fast speed, which was precisely what Gu Han wanted most. The faster it burned, the higher the efficiency of tempering the divine persona. Just because others couldn't afford to burn it didn't mean he couldn't afford to burn it.

Having sorted out his development train of thought, Gu Han put his attention back onto the Murloc Race.

If ordinary murlocs and Ant-men were simply crossbred, the resulting combat units might not necessarily be useful; creation must be based on needs, otherwise the Divine Kingdom would be piled up with "inventions" that were useless yet too precious to throw away.

When it came to actual combat and fighting, they definitely couldn't compare to the Ant-Fist Shrimp-Man and Leviathan Ant-men.

Gu Han actually tended more toward developing them in a functional direction.

Gu Han's line of sight swept back and forth across the seabed. Soon, an extremely special group of murlocs entered his field of vision.

This was a branch within the Murloc Race, called "Scavenger Murlocs", which were specially used by the enemy to transport supplies when invading the Divine Kingdom back then.

These fellows looked very unique; their bodies were extremely flat and wide, and their overall outline closely resembled an ocean sunfish. They lacked a streamlined figure and even looked somewhat clumsy.

Their most prominent habit was collecting and hoarding food; even when attacked, they would never waver, never turning over in their entire lives. They were well-known heavy laborers of the Murloc Race.

Around the bodies of the Scavenger Murlocs grew rows of hard and wide bone spurs. These bone spurs were like fences, just forming a natural load-bearing platform.

The bodies of the male Scavenger Murlocs were particularly wide and powerful. They would wander everywhere on the seabed, and their two flexible arms would pick up and pile all the seaweed, seashells, and fish corpses they found onto their backs.

The reason for this habit was that they would place all females and cubs on their own backs.

Due to physiological structural limitations, this creature's cervical vertebrae were locked, and its head could only look straight ahead or downwards, unable to lift its head at all.

Male Scavenger Murlocs would work tirelessly every day, crazily hoarding food on their backs, but they themselves could only eat the food right in front of them, which completely prevented them from stealing food.

Because of this hardworking characteristic coupled with their own cargo-carrying platform, many clever ordinary murlocs used them to transport and hoard food, and even some noble murlocs directly jumped onto the backs of Scavenger Murlocs to use them as a means of transportation, because they were truly very stable.

These Scavenger Murlocs gave Gu Han some inspiration.
