A round shield flew through the air and struck an enemy in the head with a dull thud.
The iron round shield smashed the opponent's head, turning him into a headless corpse.
Carrying its returning momentum, the round shield flew back and was caught firmly by Stone Round Shield.
Then Stone Round Shield hurled the round shield out once more, smashing the head of an Ork charging toward him and claiming a double kill.
This was already the thirty-fifth opponent he had killed in this great battle.
Waaagh Power gathered around the round shield, making it indestructible and unstoppable.
Today was Miracle Day for the Orks.
By custom, the God of War, Chen Changhe, would soon come to the Divine Domain to perform a Life Sacrifice.
No one knew whether they would become targets of the Life Sacrifice.
Rather than becoming sacrifices in a Life Sacrifice, they would rather die in battle.
Grow stronger through war and elevate their faith.
Become fanatics, then have their souls enter the Divine Kingdom as Petitioners.
That was the life goal of most Orks.
Their only goal.
Stone Round Shield was very young.
Most of the Orks in Chen Changhe's Divine Domain were very young.
Every natural day on Blue Star, Chen Changhe performed a Life Sacrifice. When that time came, most of the Orks in the Divine Domain would become sacrifices.
Very few Orks could survive.
Only the strongest and most loyal Ork warriors could be preserved as seeds of life.
Therefore, before every sacrifice arrived, the Orks in the Divine Domain would spontaneously hold divine wars.
On one hand, they prayed to their god. On the other, they used their final opportunity to strengthen themselves.
This was an Ork tradition.
Chen Changhe disliked this tradition, but he had no reason to oppose it.
This was Miracle Day, and also Sacrifice Day.
Even ordinarily, the Orks were constantly at war.
Especially on Miracle Day, it became an all-out battle to the death.
A true battle of survival.
Stone Round Shield's surname came from the hero unit, Stone Severed Claw.
It was said that he had grown from a spore mushroom formed from one of Stone Severed Claw's fingers.
Stone Severed Claw should have been his biological father.
However, not many Orks took that claim seriously.
At least a third of the new members of this generation of Orks regarded Stone Severed Claw as their father.
Who knew whether they were just boasting?
By Chen Changhe's order, the Gretchin Ork hero Long Nose ruled the Gretchin Orks.
Stone Severed Claw ruled all Snotling Orks.
However, Stone Severed Claw was only a ruler in name.
Other than during divine wars, he rarely exercised his authority.
Normally, the Orks still fought separately by clan.
Stone Round Shield originally belonged to the Iron Tooth Clan.
Later, after the chief of the Iron Tooth Clan died in battle, he survived by the skin of his teeth and established his own clan.
He had chosen the name Round Shield himself because he excelled at using round shield weapons.
The Waaagh Power of ordinary Orks could only slightly enhance their physical attributes.
Stone Round Shield's Waaagh Power not only greatly enhanced his physical attributes, but also strengthened his round shield attacks.
Stone Round Shield was covered in green blood, and cracks had appeared on the round shield in his hand.
If not for the existence of Waaagh Power, even a round shield forged from steel should have shattered by now.
After swinging his round shield and smashing the head of another enemy who had slashed at him, Stone Round Shield suddenly raised his head and looked toward the sky.
He felt as though someone was watching him.
"What keen senses!"
Above the clouds, Chen Changhe watched Stone Round Shield and sighed in admiration.
He had not expected an Ork who was not even a hero unit to notice his divine awareness.
Even Stone Severed Claw could not do that.
"And his Waaagh Power is rather interesting..."
"If I gave him a vibranium shield..."
"Could he call himself Captain Ork?"
"I can do this all day!"
Chen Changhe's impression of Stone Round Shield deepened by several degrees.
"It's about time!"
Chen Changhe checked the time.
First, he issued an order to the fanatics among the marked Orks, excluding Stone Round Shield and the others.
He told them to end their own lives.
The souls of fanatics consumed in a Life Sacrifice could not be guided into the Divine Kingdom.
It was a complete loss.
Chen Changhe had not paid attention to this before.
At the thought of all the fanatics he had wasted in the past, Chen Changhe's heart bled.
"What a waste!"
In the blink of an eye, the number of Petitioners in the Divine Kingdom reached 550,000.
Chen Changhe had 300,000 of those Petitioners voluntarily merge into the protective barrier of the Divine Domain.
Only 250,000 remained.
The protective barrier outside the Divine Domain instantly thickened by a great deal.
"It can offset at least 5 points of Divinity."
If a demigod with 6 points of Divinity entered Chen Changhe's Divine Domain,
they would be immediately beaten back into a Divine Being with only 1 point of Divinity.
And aside from rapidly increasing Chen Changhe's divine power, the 250,000 Petitioners could also make his Divine Domain Core safer.
"Next..."
"Life Sacrifice!"
A blood-red magic array once again hovered above the Divine Domain.
This time, Chen Changhe sacrificed a full 50 million Orks.
The scale of the sacrifice far exceeded the previous few times.
Option One: 3 points of Divinity.
Option Two: Life Ancient Tree, capable of naturally producing 10,000 extraordinary lifeforms, Ancient Tree Elves, each year.
Option Three: Divine Art—Creation Control.
Several options appeared before Chen Changhe once again.
Three points of Divinity held immense appeal for Chen Changhe.
With those three additional points, his Divinity would reach 8 points.
He would not be far from the 10 points of Divinity needed to advance to a Perfect Demigod.
The Life Ancient Tree was also quite good.
It was a follower structure capable of providing 10,000 extraordinary lifeforms, Ancient Tree Elves, every year.
With it as a foundation, it would be enough to cultivate a true god.
However, Chen Changhe did not need it.
The extraordinary lifeform Ancient Tree Elves were certainly stronger than the current Orks.
But they did not fit Chen Changhe's future direction of development.
Even if he took it, he could at most sell it for money.
Then there was the third option, the divine art—Creation Control...
"This is rather interesting."
The divine art—Creation Control was a basic divine art exclusive to the Creator Divinity.
After mastering this divine art, one could cut off the Orks' spore reproduction ability.
That Goblin Overlord had relied on this ability to confidently sell his Goblin follower troops to outsiders.
"I have no plans to sell Orks externally anytime soon."
"But it's inevitable that some Orks may fall into other people's hands."
"I was originally worried about that."
"Once I master this divine art, it will be much more convenient."
"I can seal them off, preventing Orks in other people's hands from using their spore reproduction ability."
During this period, Chen Changhe had been studying the materials Li Guizhen left him regarding the Creator Divinity.
He had gained some understanding of this divine position.
