207: Chapter 206 The Key to Remote Species

He purchased three new S-Rank divine buildings, [Advanced Spirit-Gathering Array], and laid them out.

This batch of fire-type divine plants had great potential, but what Gu Han valued the most was that [Flame Spirit Millet].

The spiritual rhyme energy contained in this thing was extremely pure; after all, it was specially supplied as rations for Transcendental creatures above Rank 10.

Gu Han stared at that patch of crimson millet, and a thought popped into his head.

Who said it couldn't be eaten below Rank 10? Hybridization to lower medicinal potency was his specialty, and it didn't necessarily have to be fire-type.

He could breed them in large quantities like cultivating mushroom cyst people, producing non-mutated individuals mainly for their rich spiritual rhyme characteristics.

This way, spirit millets of various attributes could also be produced through hybridization.

After all, most of them followed the Body Refining Transcendental path, so nourishment was a must.

Chicken Mushroom Taisui was ultimately meant for low-Rank Transcendental and Mortal Believers to eat, while Advanced Believers had to consume large amounts to replenish sufficient spiritual rhyme.

The main purpose was to let the believers within the Divine Kingdom skip three meals a day, eating only once a day or even once every few days, saving them the trouble of wondering what to eat every day and the time spent eating, so they could spend it on Cultivate.

Gu Han directly hybridized water spirit rice with Great Evolution Fungi to see if he could neutralize the fire-type attribute.

Someone might open their mouth and ask, "Ah, why are you messing around with so much messy stuff? If you have money, just go buy them; what spirit rice or spirit vegetables can't you buy?"

That was indeed true; there was specialized spirit rice on the market with a hefty price tag, exclusively for Transcendental Believers to eat, but those were only eaten by low-Rank believers.

The variety Gu Han was making could not be bought on the market, and might not even exist anywhere else.

Unprecedented, waiting for latecomers?

If he kept waiting for someone else to develop it just because he had money and then buy it back for use, he would already be lagging far behind others.

Once this top-tier spirit millet came into existence, it would remain useful for a very long time—at least until Gu Han found higher-level spirit food-type divine plants.

Gu Han first produced a large batch of experimental groups himself, and later let Tang Wuying slowly adjust them.

He incidentally checked the growth progress of other divine plants as well.

The blood jade mushrooms hybridized using blood jade bodhi a while ago had their first batch matured and distributed into the hands of the elites of various races.

Gu Han focused on observing Chang Sheng and Qu Nimade, and found that after eating them, the Qi and blood of these two guys were indeed growing steadily, and a layer of red light faintly circulated on the surface of their bodies, but the "Blood Jade Dao Body" had not appeared yet, perhaps because they hadn't eaten enough.

Quantitative change had not yet triggered qualitative change, so they would just continue to increase production.

After waiting a little longer, the derivative plants hybridized from [Water Flower Qiluo] should also mature.

The immortal cultivators of the Ant-man Race were already slowly taking shape; by then, combining the boost in Comprehension Ability and the strengthening of Physique, the overall strength of the Divine Kingdom could be raised by another notch.

The matter of the Hundred Herb Pill previously gave Gu Han some inspiration.

As the area of the Divine Kingdom skyrocketed to 1.08 million square kilometers, the types and quantities of divine plants grew exponentially; relying solely on the original management model was far too inefficient.

He patrolled the mushroom garden where the Medicine Cyst True Monarch resided.

These species, mutated from the combination of mushroom cyst people and various divine plants, were usually responsible for absorbing and exhaling medicinal properties and cultivating.

Gu Han picked out four individuals with the largest body sizes, the highest spiritual intelligence, and who had already touched the threshold of Transcendental from among them.

These four guys usually cooperated with Chang Sheng to direct other peers in sorting medicinal materials, clearly slowly developing management awareness.

Gu Han directly descended an oracle, and a dazzling pillar of light enveloped their heads.

"Starting today, I confer upon you the titles of the Four Directions Hundred Herb True Monarchs, in charge of all medicines in the Divine Kingdom."

Gu Han assigned their responsibilities one by one.

The one exclusively managing Comprehension Ability and spiritual intelligence-type medicinal materials was bestowed the name [Buhuo True Monarch].

The one responsible for Qi and blood and body-strengthening-type medicinal materials was bestowed the name [Blood Feast True Monarch].

The one coordinating Law and spell-amplification-type medicinal materials was bestowed the name [Seeking Law True Monarch].

As for all the other miscellaneous medicinal materials, they all fell under the jurisdiction of [Medicine Minister True Monarch].

"Thank you, Divine Master, for bestowing the names!"

These four True Monarchs conveyed a feeling of being pleasantly surprised, and immediately bowed to thank the Divine Master for bestowing the names.

Next, they would handle the harvesting, classification, purification, and even connection with the Alchemy Pagoda managed by Chang Sheng for subsequent refinement of medicinal materials throughout the Divine Kingdom, forming an orderly assembly line.

This was also to reduce Chang Sheng's burden and give it more time to devote to Cultivate.

Gu Han finally pulled up the casualty report from this attack on Cui Shi's Divine Kingdom.

Two million Titan Ant-men set out on expedition, with six hundred thousand casualties.

Among them, the Dragon-Badger Titan serving as the front-row heavy armored meatshield suffered losses as high as four hundred thousand.

You must know that fighting a Divine Kingdom war across a full eight Ranks, and the opponent was even a mythic creature species, six hundred thousand sacrifices was already considered very few.

But looking at that string of bright red numbers, Gu Han still felt blocked and uncomfortable in his heart; he hated losses.

Textbooks once taught: The Divine Master should be high above, and believers are merely consumables.

As long as the Divine Kingdom does not perish, there are as many believers as wanted.

Anyone can speak of principles, but at the moment of possessed combat, he could clearly feel the resolute determination of those Ant-men when charging, giving him a sense of comradeship as well.

Even as the Divine Master, he still felt heartache for his own believers.

This was not just a superior's cherishing of resources; Wild King made him see clearly that believers were not just tools; they also had thoughts, had recklessness, and their faith was none other than himself.

On the macro trend, Gu Han could harden his heart to launch an out-of-Rank Divine Kingdom war for the sake of making the Divine Kingdom stronger, using the lives of believers to pave a way to victory.

On the micro details, he could also do his utmost to preserve his believers and reduce casualties.

Gu Han never denied himself just because it has always been this way; divinity could be decisive in slaughter, and humanity could also seek to grow stronger for the sake of protection.

Only by making the believers stronger could fewer people die in the next war.

The Flame-Holding Skull race could fire flame explosive bullets, which reminded Gu Han of the research difficulty of ranged species.

Previously, Gu Han had conceived of combining the Cyst Demon and the jet ground beetle to create a biological sprayer.

But the actual combat effect had an obvious Bottleneck; cyst poison and high acid required time to accumulate in the body, and once high-intensity rapid firing occurred, the cysts would soon be exhausted.

Although the firing rate was quite fast, the range was not very far.

The physiological limits of conventional creatures were right there.

But the Flame-Holding Skull race could continuously spew flame explosive bullets, not needing to brew venom for a long time like the Cyst Demon, and also had the ability of storm inhalation as a supplement.

Mythic creature species were completely visualized through skills; they were just that unreasonable.

Just like the Jiao Jun race his dad gave him, which came with a Tribulation Edge Spear upon birth.

That spear was considered a part of their main body, growing stronger as their strength increased; even if it was broken, it could grow back like a tail.

This completely exceeded the logic of conventional creatures.

The Flame-Holding Skull race was the same; if their flame explosive bullet ability was supplemented by nuclear fire crystal for them to absorb, their endurance and power could go up another notch.

If the structure of the Flame-Holding Skull race could be dismantled and made into characteristics similar to a magazine or launcher.

And then equipped to the Ant-man Race, ranged military units would be secured.

Flame explosive bullets even faster than those of the Flame-Holding Skull race covering the battlefield—just thinking about it was exciting, absolute gospel for patients with insufficient firepower phobia.

However, this involved cross-species biological structure modification, and he didn't know if that brat Tang Wuying could handle this concept now.

Just as he was thinking, a strange shout suddenly erupted from next door in the dormitory.

"It's done! Laozi has done it! I am also a demigod now! Hhahahaha!"

In less half a minute, hurried footsteps came from the hallway.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The door was slapped so hard it shook loudly, and Gu Han walked over quickly to pull open the door.

A trace of green divine fire lit up on Tang Wuying's forehead, his hair looked like a chicken nest, but the whole person was in an extremely excited state.

He grabbed the door frame, struck a pose, and his mouth was almost split to his ear roots.

"Look at my head! I'm already a semi..."

"You came just in time."

Gu Han unceremoniously interrupted his showing-off speech.

"Cut the crap! Enter the Divine Kingdom!"
