Looking at the head of the demon spider in front of him, Yu Shen'an had a premonition that his Divine Palace Castle would soon be renamed the Skull Cathedral.
Thinking of this, even with Yu Shen'an's thick nerves, he couldn't help but rub his forehead.
"You idiot, sending a succubus would be good, but why send me a head? Is it for fertilizer?"
Yu Shen'an muttered a complaint to himself, and with a wave of his hand, he teleported the demon spider's head into the warehouse, his mood, however, becoming excited.
The reactions of Church and Balo made him realize that his idea was correct.
He also realized that he had fallen into a misconception before.
Due to the special nature of the Contract Divinity's power, almost all of his current strength comes from summoned creatures.
He could use the power of the Divine Palace to suppress creatures below demigod level and forcibly sign contracts, but it stopped there.
More powerful demigods, or even beings comparable to gods, weren't that the Divine Palace Castle couldn't suppress them, but that he simply couldn't summon them.
At that level, resisting his summons was effortless.
This was also the fundamental reason he feared the Five Great Orthodox Gods.
Compared to the direct offensive power that all Five Great Orthodox Gods possessed, his power was undoubtedly very awkward!
Fortunately, thinking determines height.
With his pure Blue Star mindset, he possessed an imagination completely different from this multiverse.
Otherwise, how could he have played the Contract Divinity to its current height?
Now, after modifying the Shared Life Contract, he suddenly discovered that while he couldn't sign beings above demigod level, he could cultivate them!
With so many demons in the abyss, under the 'raising Gu' model, he simply didn't believe he couldn't cultivate demigods or even more powerful beings!
Thinking of this, Yu Shen'an rose from the divine throne and paced in the hall, deep in thought.
Since he had decided to raise Gu and then share collective life force, would this be a wrong decision?
After all, once life force is infinite, it will allow a considerable number of inferior demons to survive on life force, failing to achieve the purpose of raising Gu.
Perhaps, establish a hierarchical system, allowing them to share life to a limited extent?
No, no, no!
Yu Shen'an immediately rejected this idea.
Establishing a hierarchical system is a good thing for rational creatures like humans, as it can stimulate their enthusiasm, but for abyssal demons, it's not necessarily the case.
The underlying rule of the abyss is destruction.
Only by destroying enemies and devouring their flesh and souls can they absorb the opponent's power and even knowledge.
Ample life force will make them act even more recklessly, which is actually a good thing.
This means they dare to challenge beings more powerful than themselves!
Thinking of this, Yu Shen'an felt that the current sharing model was almost the best choice.
The Shared Life Contract will amplify the survival rate of all contracted creatures, which is equivalent to increasing their fault tolerance, and this will only help them develop and grow better.
Of course, perhaps there are even better models.
For example: elimination of the lowest ranked.
However, before deciding to try these schemes, it's better to observe for a while!
With that thought, Yu Shen'an's consciousness returned to his divine projection in the side hall of [Magic Forest].
Yu Shen'an stood up and walked out of the side hall.
He was about to go to the underground laboratory when a thought struck him, and he walked towards the main hall's door.
As Yu Shen'an approached, the heavy stone door slowly opened, and Dundall stood outside, his face somewhat gloomy: "Your Excellency, you are making things very difficult for me now."
Clearly, he was referring to the matter of March.
Yu Shen'an scoffed: "I only wanted a portion of the magic apprentices back then, you were the one who forced everyone upon me, and now you're accusing me of making things difficult for you? My dear Lord Dundall, killing with a borrowed knife is one thing, but trying to have your cake and eat it too is disgusting."
A trace of awkwardness immediately appeared on Dundall's gloomy face.
Seeing this, Yu Shen'an's heart grew colder.
These old foxes always engage in various calculations when doing things.
Little did they know, under information suppression, what are your calculations worth?
It turned out that ever since the assassination that night, Yu Shen'an had spent a lot of effort sorting out the power structure of the Kvir Empire, guessing who had assassinated him?
Who were the conservatives?
And who were the blasphemers?
However, regrettably, although there were a few suspected targets, there was no actual progress.
Yet, during this process, the content of the numerous meetings of the [Willis Magic Plantation Association] was heard by him loud and clear.
There was nothing he could do, who told their servants to secretly use the Internet divine art to browse forums and chat to relieve boredom?
With the discussions of the [Willis Magic Plantation Association], if Yu Shen'an still couldn't guess Dundall's purpose, he might as well buy a block of tofu and kill himself by hitting it.
"I have no interest in your schemes and tricks, and you don't need to test me repeatedly. I have no interest in the power of the Kvir Empire, I only care about one thing..."
Yu Shen'an paused, looking solemnly at Dundall: "My Origin Essence Spring cannot suffer the slightest loss!"
Dundall, whose scheme had been exposed by Yu Shen'an, quickly concealed the trace of awkwardness on his face, changing the subject as if nothing had happened:
"So, the Winter Mallow that Irene researched is real?"
"What do you think?"
"The only sample was really destroyed?" A trace of tension appeared on Dundall's face.
Upon hearing this, Yu Shen'an looked at him with a look of caring for intellectually disabled children.
Seeing this, Dundall felt a bit sheepish: "Winter is coming soon. If Winter Mallow can be quickly popularized throughout the country, the empire's citizens, no, your Origin Essence Spring will definitely suffer fewer losses."
"You don't need to worry about that."
Dundall was choked and felt uncomfortable. He was silent for a moment and said: "Respected Mr. Ajev, I apologize for my actions, and I guarantee that nothing similar will happen from now on. In addition, can half of this batch of Wood Spirit magic apprentices be transferred out?"
He needed to extract half of the magic apprentices to appease the dissatisfaction of the plantation owners.
"No problem."
Dundall was stunned, not expecting the God of the Internet to be so easy to talk to, which left the speech he had prepared for a long time stuck in his throat, making him quite uncomfortable.
"I need a Time Rain Farm. When it's built, I'll release them."
Yu Shen'an's words directly dumbfounded Dundall.
"Time Rain" is an advanced magic in Time Magic.
It attaches the concept of time to rainwater, which can accelerate the flow of time for all creatures within the range of the rainfall.
This magic is often used in war.
Once rainfall forms over the enemy army, it can turn the enemy army into an army of old men on the verge of death in a short period of time.
Dundall had never heard of a "Time Rain Farm," but he still guessed the meaning of the term.
His face changed slightly, and he asked: "How big?"
Yu Shen'an pointed behind him: "About the same size as this microgravity farm will do."
Dundall's face changed several times, but in the end, he nodded and said: "Okay!"
Yu Shen'an nodded, turned around, and returned to the main hall.
The heavy stone door clanged shut, shutting Dundall out.
Dundall let out a long sigh. In this conversation, the God of the Internet seemed unapologetic, but in reality, he had given him a lot of face.
At least, his goal was achieved.
"Time Rain Farm? Irene? Winter Mallow?" Dundall muttered these three words, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.
The God of the Internet needing Time Rain to cultivate crops could only mean one thing: the crops he cultivated no longer required the interference of Wood Spirit magic.
In other words, he had created a completely new species.
As expected of a god!
As for Ajev saying that Winter Mallow was cultivated by Irene? Dundall naturally didn't believe it at all.
She was just a magic apprentice, what qualifications did she have to create a completely new species?
...
While Dundall concluded that Winter Mallow came from Ajev's hand, on the Internet, Irene's name caused a sensation among the common people because of Winter Mallow!
For them, no matter how powerful a mountain giant was, or how hot-blooded a protective revenge was, it was not as important as actually filling their stomachs.
Especially as winter was approaching.
