The Dawn of the Divine Technique Era

Emperor Minis hadn't even reacted when Herodotus on the other side reached out and pressed down.

"Divine Flourishing Tree."

Rustle.

A maiden's scalp suddenly grew from the ground, her countless hairs turning into a giant tree like vines, binding Minis.

"What in the world is this?" Minis yelled, completely unable to break free.

"This is called Divine Technique."

He stepped onto the throne step by step and said:

"You people have talent, but no breadth of mind."

"I won't kill you. I'll let you continue to use your talents. If you want to come and kill me, you can."

"I do not fear, because I am not an emperor, but a general of the empire, a warlike strongman pursuing truth. Challenges only excite me."

"Compared to Atabia, I am not skilled in research. I can only hand over this Divine Technique, painstakingly developed before my eyes, to you, so that you may continue to advance it."

On this day.

Herodotus developed Divine Technique and, on the divine throne, became the King of Gods in the heavens, a being who managed the world, ruled heaven and earth, and reigned supreme.

"What is this?"

Li Qing watched in astonishment.

Herodotus, that guy, had finally stepped forward. He felt it was normal.

But this Divine Technique was too cool.

He felt he understood, yet he didn't.

But that didn't stop him from secretly learning.

Because Herodotus was teaching everything he knew. He had great ambition and wasn't afraid of creating opponents; he even craved competition.

"The principle is very simple."

Herodotus took out a medium for casting spells.

A fertilized egg.

"Remember that Giant God seed for the Elf we gave to the Outer God a while ago? I modified its embryo into embryonic cells."

"With our energy, it's impossible to grow a complete Giant God body, but we can stimulate the growth of small amounts of body tissue."

"The triple shields summoned just now were three fingernails grown using the terrifying computing power of the Divine Treasure Tool."

"The dense forest summoned was hair that was stimulated to grow."

Simply put, it was cell differentiation.

Take a DNA cell, and with enough energy and the computing power of a biological computer, it could be grown into fingernails or hair to fight enemies!

This was on-the-spot cellular creation magic.

Prepare the coding in advance and provide the energy for growth.

Summon fingernails, hair, bones...

"Magic, it's really here?"

Li Qing watched, dumbfounded.

This technology was simply outrageous.

As expected, it surpassed Earthlings by thousands of years.

Wasn't this equivalent to needing an embryonic medium to stimulate growth and kill a god's sperm for every use of Divine Technique?

No magic, no killing?

Was a Giant God created just to play like this?

Keep up the good work.

The Elf Giant Goddess outside is waiting for you to update the version.

Herodotus continued, "We've incorporated rapid growth gene spells. These temporary creations are unstable and will quickly suffer genetic collapse, but they are already very powerful and represent the direction of our development!"

He had even thought of it.

Continuously modifying the functions of the Giant God to achieve all-purpose Divine Techniques.

Encountered sewage in the wild? Poisonous water?

Clap your hands, summon the god's kidney, purify the water source. This is: Water Purification Technique.

Need to build a house in the wild?

Clap your hands, summon a section of the god's spine—a pagoda, and live inside the pagoda.

Even in the future, their Giant God DNA sequences could be modified with electric organs, compound eyes, poison sacs, acid rain sacs, Great Flood sacs, and foul gas sacs. One DNA sequence would encompass everything; summon some fragments to fight enemies.

"But the energy consumption is very high," Minis said directly. "A giant's fingernail, relative to our size, requires no small amount of energy, and... the generation of some organs, like bones, requires corresponding spell materials to be prepared in advance."

"Yes."

Herodotus said, "The nutrient energy provided by this Divine Technique is the most difficult technical hurdle. I've only managed to break through it and develop high-density energy storage within the body. However, it's still used up after one or two Divine Techniques."

For a civilization, energy is the cornerstone of its development.

Whether it was humanity's charcoal age, kerosene age, gasoline age, or electric age, each saw a major leap forward only after a breakthrough.

They too were facing a bottleneck in high-efficiency energy technology, currently relying on the most primitive form of biological energy storage.

Herodotus said:

"Once we break through energy technology and find a way to store enough energy for circulation within the body, we can use Divine Techniques freely. That will be the true divinity!"

They became more engrossed, more incredulous with every thought.

It was as if they had glimpsed a magnificent Giant God in the void, symbolizing truth, a great guardian of their Elf era, whose power could grant them incredible combat prowess.

"This is the Art of Omnipotence!" someone shouted from the treetops.

"As long as we research an omnipotent Giant God with various organs within its body, and then summon it!" another exclaimed excitedly.

"I'm impressed," Minis sighed upon hearing this. "Compared to what you're pursuing, I'm utterly ridiculous. All I know is infighting and vying for fame and fortune."

"Yes."

Herodotus smiled, "How can we explore truth through infighting and internal friction?"

He gazed down at the luxurious land from atop the World Giant Tree, full of spirit. "This Giant God will become the core of our civilization's Divine Techniques. Its genetic sequence text, containing the blueprint of a God, shall be called the Codex of Truth!"

"From now on, not only we can use it, but I want to spread it to every life form on the ground, so they can all study the Codex of Truth, recite it! And research Divine Techniques!"

Everyone looked at Herodotus with adoration.

This was a new king.

Even more so, a great monarch who would lead a new era of civilization.

They had reached the realm of indescribable, magnificent creation.

Everyone was in a daze, as if they had seen a true deity about to lead them into an incredible era, to exist eternally, and be forever immortal!

After Atabia, the entire land finally ushered in its second era of unification!

"What a great era pioneer!"

Li Qing sat on his chair, glimpsing this scene, the corners of his mouth curling into a slight arc.

What a Herodotus, hiding for so long, truly a pleasant surprise. I hope you can continue like this and live through several more eras of civilization.
