Chapter 10 - Chapter 10 Protection Period

Currently, the ecological balance within the entire Divine Domain is teetering on the verge of collapse. Only through Peter's painstaking regulation can the number of the insect swarm be maintained without decline. Perhaps when all the Big - Leaf Trees and Sweet - Syrup Trees reach maturity, the number of the insect swarm could increase. However, Peter won't let that happen. When the number of the insect swarm reached the threshold of 10 million, Peter had already halted its growth. Instead, he began to phase out the earliest - generation units to make room for the more advanced insect - swarm units that were to come. Gradually completing the renewal of the early - generation units throughout the entire insect swarm was the main reason he no longer increased the swarm's numbers. Although many of the early - generation units consumed fewer resources, their combat capabilities were negligible compared to the current main - combat units. With proper tactics, a single Piercing Tarantula could, in a short time, eliminate tens of thousands of early - generation worker ants without a scratch. After all, it had a faster speed, stronger protection, more flexible and agile mobility, and its long - range attacks against the short - range worker ants, combined with large - area acid - venom spraying, made it almost invincible against the early - generation worker ants as long as it wasn't foolish enough to charge into the ant swarm and get surrounded. Once all the early - generation units are replaced, it will lead to a huge increase in resource consumption. Peter estimates that this process will take four to five years, after which his Divine Domain will truly reach the limit of its development. The only way out is to leave the novice protection period, make the Divine Domain appear in the World of the Gods, and obtain external resources to continue development. At that time, he will face the first test that all beings entering the World of the Gods must confront: war and plunder. "There are still five years, which is about half a month in the real world. I must make preparations during this period, formulate various emergency plans and action plans, complete the collation and verification of information, and ensure the successful survival of the Divine Domain after leaving the protection period." Peter, who was intently recording on the light screen in the air, paused, completed this record, and then waved his hand to turn off the light screen. He looked up at his Divine Domain, a world that had changed little by little in his hands over the past 20 years. From the initially chaotic primeval forest, it had transformed into its current orderly state. A sense of accomplishment welled up in him. "This is a miracle that I've achieved with 20 years of great effort. No matter what the future holds, I will strive to lead you all to create a bright future." With the fluctuation of the line of faith, Peter's words of determination were instantly transmitted to all the insects in the Divine Domain. In an instant, the Divine Domain seemed to come alive. Countless Stinger Dragonflies and Machete Cockroaches took to the air. The non - flying Piercing Tarantulas and Logistical Spider - Ants climbed onto the tree canopies, looking towards the direction where Peter was. The dense chirping of insects resounded through the heavens and the earth. The few remaining rare species in the Divine Domain trembled in fear at the insect chirping that had been imprinted in their biological instincts as a source of dread. Peter watched the swarms of insects filling the sky and slowly withdrew from the World of the Gods. Opening his eyes again in the Divine Being Landing Pod, he habitually rubbed the back of his neck. After two months of divine - power enhancement, his body was gradually transforming towards the transcendent. The soreness all over his body that he used to feel every time he got up was also gradually subsiding. Peter raised his right hand. The Divine Power Bracelet on his wrist emitted a white light, connecting to the information of the Divine Being Landing Pod and quickly downloading the materials that Peter had organized in the Divine Domain world before. After the data download was completed, Peter got up and sat down by the bed. He casually took out a high - energy nutritional mixture from the package placed beside the bed, ate it while opening the light screen, and entered the chat group of Class 1, Grade 11. As soon as he entered the chat group, the messages were already flooding the screen, jumping directly to over 99 unread messages. After all, he hadn't logged into the class chat group for two months. Peter directly dragged the messages to the very top and started browsing from the beginning. Gu Hongkuo: "I awakened a Merman. Is there anyone who awakened the same type of believer as me? We can exchange cultivation experiences. Also, my Merman has black scales and might be a similar variety to the Black Tide Mermen in the textbooks. I'm looking for a complete guide to cultivating Black Tide Mermen and will buy it with credit points." Lang Xue: "Kuo, I awakened a Snake - Man. The types of our believers should have something in common as they are both amphibious. We can communicate more. I have a guide to cultivating reptilian believers. Do you want it? If so, I'll send it to you directly for free!" Gu Hongkuo: "Yes, yes. Send it quickly. Why not take something for free? Let's communicate more in the future!" Gao Yang: "I awakened the transcendent species Water Sprite, but there's no water in my @#$ Divine Domain. Who can help me?" Li Mingbao: "Have you explored the underground of your Divine Domain? Check if there's groundwater. Try drilling a well first, or look at the survival methods of your believers and then find a solution." Gao Yang: "Thanks, Brother Bao. I'll go and try immediately." Lang Xue: "By the way, where's Han Fei, the aloof top student in our class? Usually, he's the one to turn to for this kind of knowledge - reserve questions." Li Mingbao: "Do you think everyone is as idle as you? The top student is usually so hard - working. He must be busy developing his Divine Domain right now and has no time to chat with you." Lang Xue: "Brother Bao, what's your situation? Are you so idle?" Li Mingbao: "What else could it be? With our grades and knowledge reserves, the Divine Domain we opened up must be beautiful, with clear waters and lush mountains, rich in minerals, and with human - type believers. Right now, I probably have already built a house and am engaged in breeding and planting." Fan Yuquan: "My Divine Domain is a desert, and my believers are Frog - Men. I've tried every method. Now I'm going to leave the protection period and go to the Gods' Exchange Continent. My dad has already prepared the necessary resource cards for me. Everyone, wish me luck." Yu Han: "My situation is similar to Fan Yuquan's. I'm also going to leave the protection period directly. Everyone, wish me luck too." Sun Xinpeng: "Same here." Li Mingbao: "Wish everyone good luck. Come on! I hope everyone is still here when school starts." Lang Xue: "Brother Bao, I'm going back to develop my Divine Domain." The atmosphere in the group immediately cooled down. From time to time, some people still sent messages in the group later, but generally, it gradually became quieter. Everyone focused on the development of their Divine Domains, and the group became more like a message - leaving platform rather than an instant - messaging chat group. Peter spent over an hour reading all the message records in the class group. In these two months, nearly one - third of the classmates in the class had to leave the novice protection period for various reasons. This didn't even include those who didn't notify in the group. Peter estimated that more than half of the people would leave the protection period ahead of time.
