Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 Core Believers

There are records in the library that a hapless young man received the news of the accidental death of all his family members on the very day he opened up his Divine Domain. He fainted on the spot. When he woke up, his wood and grass fairy believers had mutated into dark fairies. Compared with him, the changes Peter experienced were much greater. The addition of divine characteristics and the mutation of believers were entirely normal. After all, Peter's soul had been replaced, and his memories and life experiences had been supercharged. Having figured out the cause and effect of the changes in the Divine Domain, Peter resolutely put it out of his mind. The most important thing now was to check on the situation of his believers. Peter immediately extended his divine sense and conducted a detailed scan of the ants in the ant nest. The page of subordinate believers also popped up on the blue translucent panel. He casually clicked on the believers' page, and the information of the core believers was displayed on the screen. Believer Name: Queen Ant. Believer Level: Transcendent. Believer Talent: Gene Fusion. Faith Level: Zealot. Power of Faith: 100 per day. Reproductive Ability: 300 per day. Introduction: It can fuse certain gene segments of the creatures it eats and give birth to offspring with the characteristics of those creatures. The queen ant is the core of the group. Before the end of its life, the queen ant will start to breed the ant king. Once the queen ant dies before giving birth to the ant king, the group will become extinct. The ant king will seek a powerful host to breed the next-generation queen ant and will die when the new queen ant is successfully bred. Peter looked at the introduction of the queen ant, and the more he read, the more familiar it seemed. There was a strong sense of déjà vu. "Damn it, isn't this the Chimera Ant?" Peter's spiritual body stood in the air and complained frantically, "Don't think I haven't watched the anime Hunter. This setting is definitely the result of the influence of my memories." Peter suppressed the urge to continue complaining. After directly naming the core believers as Chimera Ants, he looked at the remaining two types of believer units. Believer Name: Worker Ant. Believer Level: Ordinary. Believer Talent: None. Faith Level: Zealot. Power of Faith: 10 per day. Introduction: They are both the producers of the group and the combat units. All tasks except reproduction are assigned to them. Believer Name: Larva. Believer Level: Ordinary. Believer Talent: None. Faith Level: Zealot. Power of Faith: 1 per day. Introduction: It takes 7 days from being born from an ant egg until cocooning, and 7 days to break out of the cocoon and become a worker ant. The growth cycle is 14 days. Upon seeing this, Peter silently calculated his own advantages and disadvantages in his mind. Generally speaking, Peter was very satisfied with this core believer. The believer talent of Gene Fusion combined with the divine characteristic of Genetic Adjustment not only allows for the collection and fusion of genes but also enables the adjustment and optimization of genes according to his own needs. With these two abilities as a foundation, these believers have unlimited room for growth. Peter has the fantasy templates from another world to refer to for the future development direction of the Chimera Ants. The characteristic of Environmental Adaptation ensures the basic survival ability of the ant colony. The fact that the ant colony has developed well despite not being attended to for more than fifty days is surely due to this divine characteristic. Although the Chimera Ants, unlike the zealot believers of other highly intelligent races, do not generate power of faith starting from three-digit numbers, the advantage of being born as zealots saves the trouble of cultivating faith. Even if, due to their low intelligence, the power of faith generated by each individual is less than one-tenth of that of other races, as long as there is a sufficient number, the Chimera Ant colony still far surpasses most species in terms of generating the power of faith. The only weakness of the entire group now is the queen ant. Once the queen ant dies, it means the extinction of the group. For Peter, there is no solution to this problem for the time being, so he can only put it aside for now. Anyway, the Divine Domain is still very safe at present. The Chimera Ants are at the top of the food chain. The entire Divine Domain is a paradise for insects. After Peter's scan, he determined that no species can pose a threat to the Chimera Ants. Peter is also in the novice protection period of the World of Gods. In the real world, for three months, and in the World of Gods, for thirty years, there will be no invasion. Through his divine sense scan, Peter looked at the queen ant lying in the ant nest, whose body size had already exceeded half a meter, and sighed, "It has grown to this size in just over fifty days. It really develops fast!" The last time he saw the queen ant, she was only more than 10 centimeters in size. Under Peter's observation, the queen ant's antennae suddenly twitched, and a thought and a feeling of joy were transmitted to Peter along the line of faith. "God, you're back! Are you watching over our clan again?" Feeling the message and emotion sent by the queen ant, Peter felt a mix of emotions in his heart. This was the first time he had felt such sincere emotions, extremely pure joy, just because of his attention. "Is this the relationship between a god and his believers?" Peter looked at the queen ant lying on the ground, who could no longer move freely due to her huge abdomen, and felt a bit of distress in his heart. Peter of course knew the reason why the queen ant asked such a question. It was because in his previous life, when he saw the queen ant, the divine sense of disgust, anger, and despair that he vented was transmitted to the queen ant through the line of faith. In the queen ant's vague memory and perception, the god had disappeared since then, and she felt as if she had been abandoned by the god. Peter's divine sense gently swept across the queen ant's antennae, and he transmitted a thought along with emotions of comfort and encouragement. "God has never left. I will watch over you until eternity!" Although a bit embarrassed, Peter still, according to the knowledge he had learned from his memories, made the most appropriate response when facing his believers. An even more pure will of joy burst out from the queen ant, and Peter could feel it along the line of faith. Even the power of faith generated by the queen ant every day increased by two points. Looking at the queen ant's antennae that kept swaying with joy, Peter couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and reveal a smile. Having confirmed that there were no problems with the core believers and that there was no risk of the group's extinction in the short term, Peter slowly withdrew from the World of Gods. After all, there were still some matters to deal with in the real world. "Whoosh." A slight sound of air pressure was heard, and the door of the black Divine Domain connection pod slowly opened, revealing Peter, who had just opened his eyes. He supported himself with one hand on the armrest beside the pod, sat up with some difficulty, and rubbed the back of his neck with the other hand. Memories about the landing pod automatically emerged in his mind. This was a characteristic of the low-end version of the Divine Being Landing Pod. Although this device was very stable as an auxiliary device for calming the mind and buffering mental stress, it didn't consider comfort at all. Its main function was to assist novice Demigods in quickly understanding their Divine Domain and, at the same time, alleviating the confusion caused by the hundredfold time difference between the real world and the World of Gods. This thing also had the function of stabilizing the mind, enabling a novice like Peter, who had just opened up his Divine Domain, to maintain a calm attitude when facing the suddenly acquired power. When human civilization first came into contact with the World of Gods, there were no such complete auxiliary facilities. At that time, many people were affected by time disorder. Some suffered from mental illnesses at the mild end, and some even experienced personality disorders at the severe end.
