"Host identified as a transmigrator, an Earth native, of Yanhuang Bloodline..."

"System is automatically matching suitable Believers!"

"Ding! You have obtained a Believer race from Earth—the Fourth Catastrophe (Earth humans)."

The string of electronic notifications left Ye Yu slightly dazed.

Before he could react, a figure had already appeared on the Light Screen.

"H-Human Race?"

It was the Divine Envoy's voice, carrying a trace of disbelief.

He was not excited. He was simply stunned.

What kind of trash talent would it take to awaken such a weak race as the Human Race?

In the World of Gods, pure Human Race Believers were universally acknowledged as trash, ranked at the very bottom among all races.

They had neither strength nor physique, weak combat power, and poor survival abilities.

In short, they were useless at everything except eating!

The most trash Believers, paired with the most trash Divine Domain and Divine Power.

The Divine Envoy could tell that Ye Yu was finished.

There was no hope left for him.

He glanced at Ye Yu and secretly shook his head, his eyes already carrying a hint of pity.

The World of Gods was cruel. A god with no prospects had no future at all.

He had always intended to befriend Ye Yu, but now it seemed that he and the other Divine Envoys had all misjudged him.

Ye Yu was nothing but mud that could never be plastered onto a wall.

The Divine Envoy's thoughts flashed by in an instant. By then, the figure on the Light Screen had vanished, replaced by racial information.

[Race]: Human Race [Potential]: F- [Description]: The Human Race is said to be an inferior creation molded from clay by the ancient god Nuwa.

"Pfft!"

Quite a few people could not help laughing out loud when they saw the racial information on the Light Screen.

Although the laughter quickly stopped.

Everyone knew that the True God prospect in whom Arbor God City had placed such high hopes was completely finished.

Of course, aside from those few laughs, no one openly mocked Ye Yu.

It was not because these youths were kind and innocent. In the World of Gods, eighteen already meant adulthood.

As adults, everyone knew how to flatter the powerful and trample the weak, but no one was stupid enough to mock Ye Yu in front of a Divine Envoy.

Even though they had already regarded Ye Yu as a worthless, hopeless god.

"Step aside."

Seeing that Ye Yu was still standing there blankly, the Divine Envoy frowned and barked.

Ye Yu looked at the Divine Envoy, smiled, and stepped aside.

Human Race?

So what if they were humans?

Strictly speaking, everyone present was Human Race.

It was merely that their ancestors had become gods, and now they all considered themselves descendants of the god race.

What a bunch of ingrates!

Besides, the Human Race Ye Yu had awakened was not the native humans of the World of Gods.

They were the Fourth Catastrophe from Earth!

No one knew better than Ye Yu just how terrifying the Fourth Catastrophe was.

Not only was he not depressed, he was in an exceptionally good mood.

"Ding! Believer Channel established!"

"This channel will connect to Earth in the form of an online game!"

"Current number of Believers the host can summon—10!"

"Believers will enter the host's Divine Domain one after another after midnight!"

The electronic voice sounded again, making Ye Yu frown slightly.

There were far too few of them, weren't there?

"It seems the number of Believers is tied to Divine Power!"

"One Earth Player equals one point of Divine Power. That means I need to increase my Divine Power as soon as possible. Otherwise, with so few Players, I won't be able to stir up much trouble."

Ye Yu thought to himself.

Having too few Believers was bad news, but it was not all bad news.

At the very least, his Believers could not be killed.

His Believers were game Players. Of course they could revive endlessly.

An hour later, the hundred-odd people present had all awakened their respective Believer races.

The strongest Believers were naturally Xiao Gui's Flood Dragon People race.

Aside from Xiao Gui, several other youths had awakened races such as the Scorpion Lion Race and Blood Bat Race, which were not inferior to the Flood Dragon People race.

But most had awakened relatively average races such as the Barbarian Bull Race, Half-Orcs, and Goblins.

Then there were the unlucky ones with Slimes, Jumping Mice, and the like, who were not much better off than Ye Yu.

The hundred-odd youths were instantly divided into different ranks.

"Congratulations, everyone. From today onward, you can be considered true Demi-Gods."

The Divine Envoy spoke with a trace of satisfaction on his face.

The youths all sighed in relief, and smiles soon spread across their faces.

Even those whose Divine Domains, Divine Power, and Believer races ranked near the bottom were no exception.

No matter what, they believed themselves far superior to those who had failed their awakenings.

Now that they were Demi-Gods, they could be considered successful in life.

Unfortunately, before the youths could celebrate for long, the Divine Envoy's expression turned solemn.

"Enough. Put away your excitement first!"

"Becoming a Demi-God is merely the starting point on your path to godhood."

"The vast World of Gods is filled with danger and slaughter. Gods are not as harmonious with one another as you imagine."

"In truth, every year, only a handful of New Gods survive to become High Gods!"

The Divine Envoy's words made every youth's heart tighten.

They only had a vague understanding of some of the rules of the World of Gods.

Everyone understood the rules before becoming Demi-Gods.

But no one knew what would happen after becoming Demi-Gods.

"What I am about to say is extremely important. It concerns your future, and even your lives!"

The Divine Envoy said solemnly.

The moment those words were spoken, everyone became nervous. Even Ye Yu was no exception.

"As everyone knows, we gods rely on the Power of Faith provided by Believers to advance."

"However, the Divine Domains opened by each New God in the beginning are at most one or two thousand square kilometers. Under such circumstances, the number of Believers will always be a limiting factor."

"If you want more Believers and wish to gain the Power of Faith more quickly, you can only expand your Divine Domains. And there is only one way to do that: devour the Divine Sparks of other gods!"

"In fact, quite a few high-level gods specialize in hunting New Gods, seizing their Divine Sparks, and strengthening themselves..."

At this point, the Divine Envoy paused, intending to let the rookie New Gods digest his words.

Sure enough, every youth's expression turned ugly.

Some of the more timid ones had already gone pale with fright.

So these were the rules after becoming gods?

High Gods even hunted rookie New Gods like them?

Did that not mean they could be killed by other gods at any moment?

Mommy, that was terrifying!

Ye Yu's expression became extremely grave. After the Divine Envoy finished speaking, he could already feel Xiao Gui and the few who had awakened special races looking at him with burning eyes!

It was as if they were staring at a juicy piece of meat.

"They want to Hunt me?"

"Of course. In these people's eyes, I'm a weak, trash god. They could kill me without any effort, seize my Divine Spark, and strengthen themselves..."

"Sure enough, in a world like the World of Gods, without any moral or legal restraints, no one is harmless."

Ye Yu's vigilance continued to rise.
