Chapter 12 Demigod Protection Period

Pulling his drifting thoughts back, Peter had reached a conclusion. Given the current situation of 10 million believers in his Divine Domain, as long as things remained stable without any accidents, he could harvest one point of divine power every day in the World of the Gods. In half a month in the real world, he would be able to accumulate over 2,000 points, which was enough to purchase the necessary divine - technique cards on the list. Peter immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he could afford them. "At that time, I'll set aside 1,000 points of divine power as a reserve. I need at least three Short - range Random Teleportation Divine Technique Cards, two Primary Divine Domain Concealment Divine Technique Cards (one for use and one as a backup), three Primary Divine Domain Range Scanning Cards, and two Ordinary Resource Terrain Cards. In total, that's 10 cards, which will exactly consume 1,000 points of divine power. If there's any extra divine power, it would be good to get a few more Blank Sealed Cards and Barren Terrain Cards. The plan is perfect." Peter happily closed the light screen in front of him, in a great mood. Now, what he needed to do was to carefully go over the relevant knowledge about leaving the novice protection period of the World of the Gods again and formulate corresponding treatment plans for possible situations. With this thought in mind, Peter immediately logged into the school library through his Divine Power Bracelet and started searching for books related to leaving the novice protection period. As he searched, projections of books appeared in front of him. Peter immediately opened one of them. The books in the school library were protected by copyright and could not be downloaded, so he had to read them in the real world. The Divine Domains newly opened in the World of the Gods were all protected by the rules of the World of the Gods. It was as if there was a thin film outside the Divine Domain, wrapping the entire Divine Domain inside. The outside world could neither sense nor touch this film. As long as the film did not disappear, the Divine Domain would not appear in the World of the Gods, and of course, it could not be attacked either. There were only two situations in which the film would disappear. One was that 30 years had passed since the opening of the Divine Domain, and it would disappear automatically. The other was that a demigod or a believer in his own Divine Domain broke through this layer of protection from the inside. As long as they stepped outside the range of the film, the protection would also disappear automatically. If Peter wanted to teleport to the Gods' Exchange Continent, he would inevitably pass through this layer of protection, making the Divine Domain appear in the World of the Gods. This was the way to leave the protection period in advance. As for why there was a novice demigod protection period, it should be a rule established by the great civilization that created the World of the Gods in the first place. The World of the Gods was the legacy of this ancient divine civilization. No one knew the current situation of this civilization. According to the books Peter had read, some said that this civilization had perished in the previous cosmic cycle, and others said that this civilization had left and gone to other universes. Anyway, there were various opinions and it was impossible to verify. The only thing that could be determined was that this great divine civilization had sown countless seeds of its own civilization throughout the universe. No matter which interstellar power obtained the seeds, it could produce divine seeds and thus enter the World of the Gods and embark on the path to becoming a god. Peter quickly put aside this book about the origin of the demigod protection period and decisively turned to the next one. The content he was looking for finally appeared in front of him. The Divine Domains that had just left the protection period were generally located in relatively barren and desolate areas. If they encountered other Divine Domains within a certain range nearby. Then, there was a high probability that the other side had also left the Divine Domain protection period recently. This was a rule summarized by countless predecessors. All the demigod Divine Domains that left the protection at the same time period would appear concentrated in a certain desolate area. This time period could range from one month to several years. This was why leaving the protection period in advance was extremely dangerous. Take the classmates in Peter's class who had just opened their Divine Domains and had to leave the protection as an example. The location where his Divine Domain appeared was bound to be surrounded by a large number of demigods from other civilizations who had endured the full 30 - year protection period before leaving. Once invaded, his only outcome would be the extinction of his core believers, and the resources and land of his Divine Domain would be absorbed or sealed. Judging from the market situation, a novice Divine Domain with a good environment, calculated at 10,000 square kilometers, could be worth 10,000 points of divine power just in terms of the value of the resource terrain card. For a poor demigod who had just left the protection period, this was tantamount to a windfall. No one would be soft - hearted and let this opportunity slip away. As time passed, Peter, who had been lying in bed for more than six hours, finally finished flipping through the last book. "Great harvest. Truly, there is gold and beauty in books. The ancients really didn't deceive me." He got up and stretched, relieving the physical fatigue caused by staying still for a long time. Peter immediately got into the Divine Being Landing Pod. After all, with a time difference of a hundred - fold, more than twenty days had passed in his Divine Domain. Having gotten used to always keeping track of the situation in the Divine Domain, Peter was a little nervous because he hadn't checked on it for such a long time. Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, five years had passed in the Divine Domain. Peter looked at the latest batch of 2,000 Machete Cockroaches emerging from their cocoons, his face full of solemnity. At this time, the Insect Race had completed the renewal of the entire group. Except that the queen ant remained the same, and there were still some earthworm - like units in the underground of the Divine Domain that lived by eating soil, most of the units in the entire insect swarm had been replaced by the remaining four main military branches. With his divine sense sweeping through the entire Divine Domain, a blue semi - transparent information panel appeared in front of Peter. Name: Peter Level: Demigod Divine Fire: Unlit Godhead: None Divine Mark: None Divine Characteristics: Environmental Adaptation, Genetic Adjustment Divinity: 1 point Divine Power: 2,060 points Faith Power: 35 million Core Believers: Insect Race Number of Believers: 1 queen ant; 5 million Piercing Tarantulas; 1 million Stinger Dragonflies; 1 million Logistical Spider - Ants; 3 million Machete Cockroaches Looking at the number of his believers again, Peter helplessly closed the information panel. Three days ago, Peter had awakened all the Piercing Tarantulas in a dormant state in the Divine Domain, allowing them to start eating and adjust their physical functions to the peak. The immediate result was a sharp increase in consumption within the Divine Domain. Now, the ecology of the Divine Domain had begun to be imbalanced and urgently needed external resources for replenishment. This also made Peter no longer hesitate. "I have to go through this no matter what. I've done everything I can to the limit. The rest is up to fate." In his previous life, Peter had never liked gambling. He always did his best in everything he controlled, maximizing the probability of winning. After transmigrating, although he learned about gods and was working hard on the path to becoming a god, in his view, gods were just a more advanced form of life. He had never regarded himself as a god in the concept of his previous life, looking down on all living beings.
