Trash Kin

"Han Wu, bring me one hundred points of divine power when you come to school on Monday. If you dare not bring it, I'll lead my Dwarf Legion into your divine realm, slaughter all your Core Kin, destroy your core, and ruin your future so thoroughly that you'll never rise again."

"Han Wu, if you're willing to be my slave and provide enough locusts every day for my Thunder Sparrows to use as feed, I can protect you until you graduate from high school. Think it over carefully!"

"Child, your father and mother were lost in the Sea of Chaotic Stars at Imperial Capital Academy. They must still be alive! If you ever get the chance, you must go and bring them back..."

The voices of men and women echoed through Han Wu's mind.

Han Wu lay on the bed, drenched in sweat, his eyes wide open as he gulped down fresh air.

After sorting through those memories, he finally confirmed that he had transmigrated.

This was a world where everyone had a chance to become a god.

The original owner of this body had also been named Han Wu and had just turned eighteen a week ago.

His parents had vanished when he was young, and he had lived with his grandfather. Not long ago, his grandfather had also died of an old illness.

Before his grandfather passed away, he repeatedly told Han Wu that he had to go to the Sea of Chaotic Stars at Imperial Capital Academy to search for traces of his parents.

That had become the original owner's obsession.

Lacking his parents' companionship, Han Wu had been withdrawn since childhood and poor with words.

As a result, he became a bullying target favored by several school tyrants, who often cornered him in some dark place and beat him up for no reason.

After Han Wu passed his eighteenth birthday and awakened his divine realm, the school tyrants became even more brazen. Not only did they beat Han Wu, they also extorted divine power from him.

They even threatened that if Han Wu refused, they would destroy his divine realm and ensure he would never rise again.

If Han Wu's Core Kin had been strong, he would not have needed to fear the school tyrants' threats.

But unfortunately, Han Wu's Core Kin were merely ordinary locusts.

Other than being able to reproduce, they were useless.

They could neither resist the school tyrants' humiliation nor fulfill his grandfather's final wish.

In such a hopeless environment, the original owner had died in desolation.

Han Wu patted his head and could not help sighing. A hemp rope always snapped at its thinnest point, and Bad Luck always sought out those with bitter fates.

"Starting on hell difficulty—how am I supposed to break this game? With a Locust Retinue, I'll never get into a top academy like Imperial Capital Academy in this life, much less find my missing parents," Han Wu said despairingly.

But since he was already here, refusing to struggle and resist even once would be disrespectful to transmigration itself.

Drawing on his memories, Han Wu got out of bed and walked to the God Login Pod in the room.

Having awakened his divine realm only recently, Han Wu could not yet enter it on his own and needed the God Login Pod's assistance.

After entering the God Login Pod, the program quickly connected to Han Wu's divine realm and logged in.

When Han Wu opened his eyes again, he found himself observing the state of his divine realm from a god's-eye view.

The entire divine realm covered one hundred square kilometers. Three-fifths of it was plains, one-fifth mountains, and the remaining one-fifth desert.

Han Wu zoomed in and found his Core Kin on the plains.

Locusts!

These locusts were currently enjoying tender grass, completely unaware of the difficult situation their god was facing.

"Check personal information." Following his memories, Han Wu casually swiped his hand, and a translucent screen formed from blue light appeared before him.

Name: Han Wu.

Level: Divine Being. (Divided into Divine Being, Demigod, True God, Main God, God King...)

Divine Talent: Chosen One (Unique).

Divine Ability: Growth Acceleration, Life Sacrifice (Unique).

Divinity: 1 point.

Divine Power: 0 points.

Faith Power: 200,000.

Core Level: Level 1 (No holy relic added).

Core Kin: Locusts.

Kin Count: 800,000 Adult Insects, 1,600,000 larvae, 20,000,000 eggs.

Han Wu's eyes widened. Compared to the personal information in his memories, there was now an additional Divine Talent entry, and there was also one more Divine Ability.

Both newly added entries had the word "Unique" at the end.

Chosen One, Life Sacrifice? What the hell?

At the request of our many readers, we have now launched an ad-free VIP membership feature.

Tapping the two entries, Han Wu received their relevant descriptions.

Chosen One: A bearer of fortune chosen by heaven. Each time you advance one level, you gain an additional ability with a unique attribute.

Life Sacrifice: You may sacrifice the lives of creatures in exchange for products of equivalent value. The exchanged product is generated randomly during the sacrifice. May be used once per day.

Han Wu smacked his lips. "Chosen One should be the cheat I brought with me when I transmigrated. As for Life Sacrifice, it's the additional ability with a unique attribute that I obtained during the Divine Being stage."

"With such a heaven-defying cheat, if I work hard enough, I might be able to fulfill Grandpa's final wish." A trace of hope rose in Han Wu's heart. "But first, I have to survive tomorrow's ordeal of being extorted by those school tyrants."

Afterward, Han Wu opened the Core Kin panel to inspect its information.

Core Kin: Locusts.

Kin Level: Common Creature. (Divided into Common, Elite, Extraordinary, Heroic, Lord, Monarch...)

Kin Talent: Reproduction.

Faith Level: Fanatical Believer (Locusts possess no intelligence and obey every command of their god). (Divided into General Believer, True Believer, Pious Believer, Fanatical Believer, Saint...)

Faith Power: 1/100 days.

Reproduction Ability: 300/per breeding.

Life Cycle: 90 days (Egg stage: 15 days, larval stage: 15 days, adult stage: 45 days, aging stage: 15 days).

Based on the time ratio of one day in the real world equaling one year in the divine realm,

every day that passed in the real world would allow the divine realm to breed four generations of locusts.

That reproductive speed was indeed ferocious.

It was only that the speed at which locusts generated Faith Power was truly far too slow.

An adult insect only generated 1 point of Faith Power every hundred days.

A locust's entire life cycle did not even last one hundred days.

In his memories, goblin kin, also Common Creatures, generated 20 points of Faith Power every day even as General Believers. Fanatical Believer-level goblins produced at least 2,000 points of Faith Power per day.

Han Wu could only sigh. Locusts really were trash.

Even if their numbers increased, the gains they brought would not be significant. They were destined to be useless kin.

No wonder the original owner had died in despair.

Yet Han Wu saw hope in the locusts' exceptionally powerful reproductive ability.

"Life Sacrifice can exchange sacrificed creature lives for products of equivalent value. As long as I sacrifice enough locusts, the products it generates definitely won't be bad."

"Unfortunately, Life Sacrifice can only be used once a day. I have to maximize the benefits."

Han Wu muttered as he checked the time.

It was three in the morning in the real world, with twenty-one hours remaining until midnight.

"Then let's take a huge gamble. If I win, I'll turn things around and become the master. If I lose, I'll sink completely into uselessness."

A trace of madness appeared in Han Wu's eyes. He raised his palm, and layers of green light spread from it.

He was using his other Divine Ability: Growth Acceleration.

Growth Acceleration: Releases Life Force to promote accelerated growth in living beings. The effect is related to the amount of Divine Power and Faith Power invested.

The accumulated 200,000 points of Faith Power were instantly exhausted, transforming into over a hundred streams of green light that descended upon the divine realm.

Within the green light, all things grew. The locusts received a deep blessing, their growth speed doubled, and they rapidly entered maturity.

Seven days later in the divine realm, half of the 20,000,000 eggs had successfully hatched.

Fourteen days later, half of the newly born 10,000,000 larvae successfully entered the adult stage and laid more than 50,000,000 eggs in great numbers.

As the number of locusts increased, the accumulation speed of Faith Power also accelerated.

Yet Han Wu did not hesitate at all. He continued investing every bit of collected Faith Power into Growth Acceleration.

Generation after generation of locusts were born, aged, sickened, and died. After five such generations, locusts covered every corner of the hundred-square-kilometer divine realm.

The number of adult locusts reached 2.5 billion.

The Faith Power generated each day reached a staggering 25,000,000 points, equivalent to one-quarter of a point of divine power.

For a student still in high school, that was absolutely an enormous fortune.

But because he had recklessly accelerated the locusts' growth, the environment within the divine realm had been severely damaged, and desertification had risen to three-fifths.

If this continued, the entire divine realm would inevitably collapse.

Han Wu checked the time. It was 11:58 at night in the real world.

He knew the moment had come.

"Begin, Life Sacrifice!"
