Pump Wagons, Goblin Horn Guns

"Waaagh! Long Nose! Amazing Long Nose!"

"Hero Long Nose, you're the smartest!"

Chen Changhe finally remembered that he had seen this Gretchin Ork before.

It was Long Nose who had delivered the final blow to Bian Jianqiang's Divine Domain Core.

Back then, he had still been a Snotling Ork.

Who would have thought that he had now evolved into a Gretchin Ork?

Chen Changhe smiled faintly, preparing to give the fellow a reward.

With a slight movement of his finger, he consumed a trace of Divine Power and transformed it into a golden orb of light that descended upon Long Nose, the Gretchin Ork.

The golden orb instantly broke apart into countless specks of starlike light. Like a silent spring rain, they enveloped Long Nose.

The light instantly merged into Long Nose's body. At that moment, every Ork witnessed an unbelievable sight.

Long Nose grew larger, while his body became younger and more robust.

An unprecedented sense of power spread through every cell in his body.

"Waaagh! Thank you for the God of War's blessing! Waaagh!"

Seeing Chen Changhe's divine incarnation appear in the sky, Long Nose devoutly fell to his knees and repeatedly kowtowed.

Not only him—the surrounding Orks also dropped to their knees in droves, worshipping Chen Changhe's divine incarnation as they prayed without stop.

Long Nose in particular had originally been a Devout Believer, but he now leaped over the Fanatic Believer stage and became a Saint directly.

Watching the Power of Faith continuously rise, Chen Changhe felt that the bit of Divine Power Points he had spent was well worth it.

The Divine Domain was a god's territory, but the Divine Domain Core was not located on its surface.

Instead, it lay within the Divine Kingdom above the Divine Domain.

Chen Changhe's divine body usually resided in the Divine Kingdom.

Once believers became Fanatic Believers, their souls would enter the Divine Kingdom after death.

There, they would rely on the Divine Kingdom's power to gain new bodies and be reborn.

Such reborn believers were known as Petitioners.

A Petitioner's duty was to pray to the god day and night and guard the Divine Kingdom.

To gods, the number of Petitioners directly affected the speed at which their strength increased.

However, Petitioners were not immortal within the Divine Kingdom.

The laws of the Divine Kingdom would slowly erode and assimilate the Petitioners from the Divine Domain. Sooner or later, the Petitioners would be assimilated by the Divine Kingdom.

Theoretically, only Petitioners transformed from Saints could resist the Divine Kingdom's assimilating power and live eternally alongside their god in the Divine Kingdom.

Only such Petitioners could be transformed through secret arts into angels that guarded the Divine Kingdom, possessing extraordinary combat power.

In other words, Chen Changhe had already secured a future angelic guardian for his Divine Kingdom.

"Though... that might not necessarily be the case..."

The Divine Power that had entered Long Nose's body had altered him, granting him a longer lifespan than ordinary Gretchin Orks.

With his talent, he might have a chance to advance into a Hero Unit on his own.

Chen Changhe looked forward to it greatly.

Chen Changhe's divine incarnation vanished from the sky and returned to the Divine Kingdom.

Only the wildly excited Orks remained.

Long Nose especially.

He showed the other Orks his younger, stronger body.

"This is the power bestowed by the great God of War! Believe in the great God of War, and he will grant us great power and immortality!"

His words made the Orks' eyes burn even more fervently.

In just a few days, the number of Fanatic Believers had increased by several thousand.

Chen Changhe then unhesitatingly ordered the Orks to bury those Fanatic Believers in the pits to breed new Orks.

Compared to keeping them in the Divine Domain, having them enter the Divine Kingdom as Petitioners was more useful to Chen Changhe.

Mercy did not command armies, and righteousness did not manage wealth.

Heaven and earth were heartless, treating all things as straw dogs.

Chen Changhe had long passed the stage of acting on emotion. He felt no shame over such methods.

"A high school student with several thousand Petitioners in one go..."

"There probably aren't many like that in the entire Blue Star Divine Civilization."

Chen Changhe felt increasingly pleased with himself.

"Still... if Gretchin Orks are buried as spores, there's only a tiny chance of producing new Gretchin Orks."

Without a better method,

it would be practically impossible to obtain Gretchin Orks on a large scale.

Chen Changhe sighed.

Before leaving the Divine Domain, the number of Gretchin Orks still had not exceeded fifteen hundred.

Thus, he could only use this type of Ork as a production race.

Long Nose, on the other hand, performed exceptionally well.

Not only had he produced more than a dozen Pump Wagons, he had also created some simple firearms.

They were weapons called Goblin Horn Guns.

They used the design of horn guns equipped with rear-loading ignition mechanisms. They could be stuffed with large quantities of stones; although their range was not particularly great, their ammunition spread was extremely dense.

A single shot could turn the enemies ahead into a honeycomb.

"This fellow really has some inventive talent!"

Chen Changhe had originally planned to have Long Nose log off early and enter the Divine Kingdom to transform into an angel.

But now, he hesitated.

Although angels possessed formidable combat power and could also be turned into a god's avatars,

making them rare strategic assets for gods,

a Hero Unit with exceptional creativity was equally important.

"What a difficult choice!"

Chen Changhe sighed in an ostentatiously troubled manner.

"Right, I haven't used today's Life Sacrifice yet..."

After thinking it over briefly, Chen Changhe chose to perform a Life Sacrifice.

This time, he sacrificed a full ten million Orks, all of them Snotling Orks.

His divine ability activated, and a massive blood-red magic circle appeared above the Divine Domain.

The bodies of those followers turned into specks of nothingness, their life energy absorbed into the blood-red magic circle.

In an instant, the blood-red magic circle released a dazzling radiance.

The sacrifice was complete, and three options appeared before Chen Changhe.

Option One: Building God Card—Hive.

Occupies one square kilometer. Can hatch ten million Flame Ironclad Beetles each year.

Option Two: Fourth-tier Divine Realm Territory God Card ×1.

Option Three: Level-three Sacred Relic, Wild Law. After being loaded into the Divine Domain Core, the core race gains the Wild Law enhancement. Attack speed and movement speed increase by 30%. After taking damage, the enhancement effect grows stronger—the more damage taken, the better the enhancement, up to a 100% increase in both speeds.

The Building God Card in option one was also a Loading God Card.

Flame Ironclad Beetles were insectoid followers classified as Elite Lifeforms.

They possessed outstanding defense and fiery skin, and their terrifying annual number of ten million made them

an absolute killing machine.

Chen Changhe hesitated for a long time before ultimately choosing to give it up.

At this stage, individual Snotling Orks were no match for Flame Ironclad Beetles.

But as his core followers, Snotling Orks still possessed immense potential for growth.

Perhaps before long, those ten million Flame Ironclad Beetles per year would become little more than a tasteless burden.

"One can't be so shortsighted."

It was better to look further ahead.
