Second Life Sacrifice

"What a shame..."

"I have Orks."

"Even if more of them die during conquest, I can quickly replenish their numbers."

"If I could take part in an event like this,"

"I'd definitely make a guaranteed profit."

Unfortunately, Chen Changhe was just an ordinary student.

And he had no connection to Zheng Dongfeng.

There was no way Zheng Dongfeng would let him join an operation like this.

"Since the numbers have already reached the limit, I might as well consume some..."

"Life Sacrifice!"

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

He directly sacrificed all the ordinary Mushroom Kin, along with one million Snotlings.

He left behind only 690,000.

The ordinary Mushroom Kin were of no use to Chen Changhe now.

He might as well save the population capacity to raise Orks.

The bodies of those followers dissolved 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 glow.

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

Option One: 1,000 Divine Power Points.

Option Two: Life Spring. It could continuously produce Life Spring Water, which could greatly improve the reproductive ability of living creatures after being absorbed.

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

Of the three, the Life Spring undoubtedly offered the best value.

But considering the Orks' unimaginable reproductive ability,

Chen Changhe gave up on the Life Spring.

If he wanted more Orks, he only needed to let them keep killing each other and burying themselves in the ground.

Plant one ork, harvest a whole field of orks!

High yield, high efficiency, and a short growth cycle.

With followers like these, why would he need a Life Spring?

A thousand Divine Power Points was already a huge sum for Chen Changhe.

But compared to the third option, the Fourth-tier Divine Realm Territory God Card, it was nothing special.

God Cards were an auxiliary tool created by the Blue Star Divine Civilization.

There were two types of God Cards. One was a Loading Card. Once loaded, it fused with the Divine Domain and directly affected it.

The other type was a Consumable God Card.

For example, the Mushroom God Cards Chen Changhe had sold were Consumable God Cards.

Consumable God Cards had no restrictions on use, but Loading God Cards had strict limits on how many could be loaded.

As a Divine Being, Chen Changhe could load no more than seven Loading God Cards per week.

"The loading limit on God Cards was unfair from the start..."

Those second-generation gods had enough resources to fully use all seven God Card slots every week.

But poor bastards like Chen Changhe—

might not get the chance to use even one God Card before the College Entrance Examination.

Of course, Chen Changhe did not think there was anything wrong with that.

What others inherited from their ancestors was earned through their ancestors' hard work.

"Why should three generations of effort lose to your ten years of studying?"

Sometimes, what people despised and cursed was simply what they were unwilling to accept.

It was because they could not achieve it themselves.

Chen Changhe was different.

He had a golden finger.

He was fully capable of earning a bright future for his descendants.

He did not want anyone to say such bitter things about his descendants someday.

"What a shame. There wasn't a Sacred Relic option..."

With his Divine Domain Core at Level Two, Chen Changhe could choose to load two Level One Sacred Relics or one Level Two Sacred Relic.

The original Sacred Relic, the Heart of the Orks, was no longer particularly useful to him.

The Heart of the Orks had a certain chance of producing Orks when mushrooms reproduced.

But its efficiency at producing Orks was far lower than the reproductive efficiency of planting Orks.

Chen Changhe was even preparing to give up planting ordinary mushrooms entirely.

He would use all of the Divine Domain's carrying capacity to reproduce the Ork race.

Even if he removed the Sacred Relic, it would not affect him.

So, he needed a new Sacred Relic to improve his followers' strength.

He held the Fourth-tier Divine Realm Territory God Card in his hand and examined it carefully.

"After loading, the Divine Domain's area will increase by 100 square kilometers, which is the minimum for a Fourth-tier Divine Realm Territory God Card.

But all the added territory is grassland, and there are many wild beasts on it.

The quality is fairly good. It counts as upper-tier among Fourth-tier Divine Realm Territory God Cards."

"If I don't insist on territory card quality, I should be able to exchange it for a low-grade Fifth-tier Divine Realm Territory God Card."

Fourth-tier Divine Realm Territory God Cards added between 100 and 200 square kilometers.

Fifth-tier Divine Realm Territory God Cards added between 200 and 500 square kilometers.

Chen Changhe's followers were Orks.

They did not have many requirements for the Divine Domain's environment.

Chen Changhe turned on his computer and logged into the Deity Trading Website, quickly finding a suitable trading partner.

The other party had offered a Fifth-tier Divine Realm Territory God Card with 321 square kilometers of desert terrain.

"Orks need to absorb sunlight to grow."

"Desert regions have stronger sunlight than other terrain."

"This card is perfect for me!"

Chen Changhe chose to make the trade. On his way to school, when he passed a courier company affiliated with the trading platform, he mailed the God Card to them.

When the other party received the package, they would have the courier bring back that Fifth-tier Divine Realm Territory God Card with 321 square kilometers of desert terrain and deliver it to Chen Changhe.

After mailing the God Card, Chen Changhe went to school.

At this point, the third-year students had entered the self-study phase.

The students had no fixed classes, and they were not even required to come to school every day.

They only needed to go to school for assessments when the time came.

After all, as Divine Beings, their greatest task at this stage was to develop their Divine Domains and cultivate their followers.

Only a very small number of top students devoted their energy to researching divine arts.

Chen Changhe had originally had no interest in divine arts.

On one hand, he had been slacking off at the time. On the other, using divine arts required Divine Power Points.

For someone who had already been poor, that would only make things worse.

But he was different now.

"Overnight, my Power of Faith increased by more than nine million."

"At a rate of one million Power of Faith for one Divine Power Point,"

"that's nine Divine Power Points."

"And that's with my Divine Domain being only thirty square kilometers."

"Once I successfully load the Fifth-tier Divine Realm Territory God Card, the Orks' population limit will increase more than tenfold."

"The Divine Power Points I can harvest each day will also increase more than tenfold."

"In other words..."

"After just one day, simply by collecting the Power of Faith provided by my followers,"

"I'll be able to earn one hundred Divine Power Points."

"One point of Divinity requires one million Divine Power Points to condense."

"By that calculation..."

"I only need... ten thousand days to naturally obtain one point of Divinity."

Chen Changhe suddenly realized that his efficiency in earning Divine Power was still far too slow.

"How long would I have to save up for that?"

But Chen Changhe also knew

that Divine Beings did not earn Divine Power Points solely by collecting the Power of Faith provided by their followers.

And his Divine Domain was still too small.

His followers' faith was not especially strong either.

If he could cultivate Saint Followers,

then even a single one could provide Power of Faith in the tens of millions every day.

Converted, that was ten Divine Power Points.
