The Main Continent in the Divine Domain below lay empty. Apart from the Gretchin Orks, only a few dozen Snotling Orks remained.
Like Stone and Round Shield, these Snotling Orks were talented individuals Chen Changhe had his eye on.
They knelt on the ground, helplessly raising their hands as they prayed to Chen Changhe.
This was the first time they had ever witnessed a Life Sacrifice on such a massive scale.
"His Majesty, the God of War, is enraged!"
Stone and Round Shield was overwhelmed with fear. He repeatedly kowtowed in the direction of the Divine Kingdom.
The intense fear caused the Power of Faith they generated to increase rapidly.
"God of War, supreme Creator Lord, creator of the Orks! Please, calm your wrath!"
Terrified, he slammed his head against the ground again and again.
His forehead was bloodied, yet he didn't dare show the slightest disrespect.
And he wasn't the only one.
The other surviving Orks did the same.
Even on islands far from the Main Continent, countless Orks knelt one after another, praying fervently to Chen Changhe.
They hoped to earn his forgiveness.
Even though they had no idea what they had done wrong.
These Orks were a full size larger than ordinary Orks, with sturdier muscles.
During the tests, Chen Changhe had obtained quite a few demigod corpses.
He had originally planned to extract their Divinity and use it to improve his own strength.
But after a reminder from his old principal, Zheng Dongfeng, he had abandoned that idea.
Chen Changhe was determined to follow the path of Perfect Demigod ascension.
According to Zheng Dongfeng, the Divinity extracted from Outer Domain demigod corpses contained too many impurities.
If they accumulated inside him, they would hinder his ascension to Perfect Demigod.
They might even cause him to fail.
And even if he succeeded, it would diminish his potential.
Chen Changhe had chosen the relatively safer route of converting Power of Faith into Divine Power Points, then converting those into Divinity.
That path might have been difficult for others.
But given the number of his followers and how efficiently they generated Power of Faith, half a year would be enough for him to obtain ten points of his own Divinity and complete his ascension.
What's more, he could also gain Divinity through Life Sacrifice.
Since he couldn't use it himself, his only options were to sell it or use it to feed his followers.
Selling it would certainly earn him plenty of Divine Power Points.
But at this stage, Chen Changhe wasn't especially short on Divine Power Points.
After thinking it over, he decided to use it to feed the Orks.
Over this period, he had selected several large islands in the Ocean to raise Orks.
By mixing demigod flesh into their food and feeding it to them for a long time,
he had finally managed to produce a stable population of Elite Lifeform Orks.
He had even raised their numbers to several million.
It was precisely because he had cultivated Elite Lifeform Orks that he had sacrificed all the ordinary Snotling Orks at once.
Gretchin Orks were much rarer than Snotling Orks and much harder to obtain.
So Chen Changhe had chosen not to sacrifice them yet.
However, Chen Changhe had already issued a Divine Oracle.
None of the Gretchin Orks were allowed to undergo Spore Reproduction without permission unless they had reached the Elite Lifeform stage.
After the Life Sacrifice, Chen Changhe planned to send the Elite Lifeform Orks off the islands and onto the Main Continent, completing the evolutionary leap of the entire race.
This grand sacrifice was meant to free up space for them to live.
He had already conducted several experiments.
The Elite Lifeform Orks' life forms were now stable.
Even if they reproduced through spores, they wouldn't easily produce ordinary Lifeform Ork offspring.
"There's still some feed made from demigod corpses."
"I'll find a chance to feed it to the surviving Orks who are still ordinary Lifeforms."
"If they can complete the evolutionary leap, that'd be great."
"If they can't..."
"Then I'll have to consider removing them from the Divine Domain."
Chen Changhe rubbed his chin.
Though he was thinking such terrible thoughts, he didn't feel the slightest discomfort.
By now, he had become a qualified deity in this regard.
Compared with ordinary Lifeform Orks, those who became Elite Lifeform Orks saw vast improvements in every respect.
In terms of combat ability alone,
a single Elite Lifeform Ork could easily beat four or even five ordinary Lifeform Orks.
And that wasn't all.
Once they became Elite Lifeforms, these Orks could be equipped with class God Cards.
Ordinary Lifeforms had weaker life essences and couldn't be equipped with class God Cards.
As a result, they couldn't systematically benefit from a class.
They could only be equipped with scattered skill God Cards, which put them at a disadvantage.
Both class God Cards and skill God Cards were equipable God Cards.
As a Divine Being,
Chen Changhe could equip only seven equipable God Cards a week.
Even the most basic class God Card, the lowest-grade one,
could provide several skills at once.
It was equivalent to several skill God Cards.
Chen Changhe's equipment slots had always been in high demand.
Up to now, he hadn't equipped the Orks with a single skill.
"Looks like I should pick out some class God Cards for the Orks and equip them."
He hadn't used any of his God Card slots for the week.
If he could equip the Orks with suitable class God Cards, it would undoubtedly take the overall strength of his followers to a whole new level.
He would be spending the next two or three days aboard the ship anyway.
It was the perfect opportunity to replenish his followers up to the limit.
"With sixty million Elite Lifeform Orks, just in terms of follower combat power, even some veteran demigods can't compete with me."
Chen Changhe felt a little smug.
But he wasn't stupid enough to go looking for a one-on-one fight with a veteran demigod.
A deity's followers were only part of their power.
Their overall strength was also affected by Divinity, divine arts, Divine Authority, Godhead, and many other factors.
There wasn't a single ordinary fellow among those veteran demigods.
"But if a battle took place in my private Divine Domain..."
"Even against a veteran demigod, I might still have a way to kill them!"
But what veteran demigod would be foolish enough to charge into a completely unfamiliar Divine Domain?
Chen Changhe chuckled.
He thought he was being wildly unrealistic.
What were the odds of something like that happening?
Suddenly, Chen Changhe sensed something was off.
The exact same feeling he'd experienced when he gained the divine art Creation Control washed over him.
"No... it couldn't be, could it?"
Immediately afterward, his mind filled with an ocean of insights into a brand-new divine art, and his eyes glazed over.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Changhe finally came to his senses.

"Another Divine Authority born naturally!"
"And it's the Fear Divine Authority!"
Chen Changhe was utterly stunned.
This was a huge windfall!
