After waiting for two days, Xu Luo finally accumulated enough faith power and selected the option to split the queen mother on the Overlord System's control panel.
Yes!
The new queen mother was actually an individual split from the original queen mother. The two shared a single consciousness, and this connection would only break if migration became necessary, making them independent individuals.
Because a swarm has only one consciousness and one queen mother.
After consuming ten million units of faith power and three million evolution points, the queen mother's sinister body suddenly began to swell.
The body, originally resembling a spider, didn't change much in appearance, but the eight bladed arms became more robust and sharp!
After the body swelled to twice its original size, the queen mother suddenly split into two halves, each with only half a body. It took more than ten minutes for the other half to slowly regenerate, forming a complete individual.
Zerg Queen Mother (No. 1, Weakened)
Level: Silver Tier 1
Talent: Splitting, Swarm Control
Skills: Egg Laying, Burrowing, Low-altitude Flight, Diving Slash, Jump Attack, Earth Shield, Armor...
Basically, the queen mother had all the abilities that other Zerg had, but stronger.
The only difference between Queen Mother No. 2 and No. 1 was the swarm control ability!
This was a symbol of the primary position.
Unless it became an independent swarm or No. 1 died, it couldn't possess this ability.
Having just split, the queen mother was still weak and needed some time to recover.
However, Xu Luo could afford to wait.
With two queen mothers, the most noticeable change was the increased number of eggs produced daily.
But he didn't rush to increase the number of Zerg; instead, he saved the eggs.
At this time, there was no urgency to invade, and raising too many Zerg would only add to the feeding pressure.
Although he earned a large sum by selling the weapons and equipment obtained to the Wang family, he couldn't squander it all!
He still planned to transform all the terrain in his Divine Realm.
If he could create special terrains, it could provide unique products.
The Divine Realm was somewhat like a simulation game, not just a god's foundation but also the basis for turning into a divine kingdom or even a divine realm in the future.
In the Divine Realm, you could cultivate various resources and species according to your preferences, sell what you don't need, and exchange for what you want.
For example, the elves' specialty was the Water of Life from the Moonwell and the Leaves of Life from the World Tree, both highly sought after.
Similarly, the mammoths among the beast clans had ivory as their specialty.
Every species had its strengths and weaknesses, and development paths depended entirely on one's ideas.
Due to Zhong Tianyue's warning, Xu Luo had been behaving well during this period, just storing eggs and faith power, preparing for a big move later.
Reducing the frequency naturally required increasing efficiency.
Others were also developing, but he didn't believe others could develop as fast as he did, with Zerg not needing growth periods.
During the day, he attended classes earnestly, eagerly absorbing Professor Zhong Tianyue's knowledge, and spent most of his time in the simulation combat hall, fighting against simulated species.
If he couldn't engage in real combat, he'd simulate it to know both himself and the enemy.
He didn't know what kind of opponents he'd face or their species, so he could only use the dumb method of encountering as many as possible to gain experience and learn how to handle them.
In addition, he'd wander around the main city of the Divine Realm, looking for suitable items for himself.
Especially for invasion, search cards, positioning cards, and blasting cards were necessary. Whenever he found them at reasonable prices, he'd buy them. The more, the better.
On the other hand, the revenge Xu Luo feared from the Xiang family never came. It was as if nothing had happened.
He didn't know if they were plotting something or had been warned, but everything was calm.
Zhao Yiming didn't cause any trouble, and Xiang Xun, who hadn't been to school for several days, was very low-key upon his return, no longer arrogant.
However, the calmer things were, the more vigilant Xu Luo became.
A barking dog doesn't bite. He didn't believe that after causing such a loss to Xiang Xun and making the Xiang family lose face in their circle, they would just let it go.
This gave him a sense of calm before the storm.
Just because there was no trouble now didn't mean it was over.
But Xu Luo's routine was very regular. He spent most of his time between school and home, never going to random places.
Most of his time was spent in the Divine Realm, with occasional remote communications with his parents on some unknown planet.
Thus, time passed bit by bit.
In Xu Luo's Divine Realm, he had accumulated considerable strength.
Both the number of Zerg and the reserve of eggs made him very satisfied.

This was the current state of the Divine Realm.
However, the faith power wasn't much. Although he could gain over eight million in a day in real-time, developing the Divine Realm required a lot of faith power.
For example, just obtaining an expansion order cost Xu Luo over sixty million units.
The function of the expansion order was simple: to expand the territory of the Divine Realm.
At the beginning, everyone's Divine Realm area was different but generally fixed.
To increase the area, one could either upgrade the Divine Realm, integrate another Divine Realm, or use an expansion order.
Of course, if you were wealthy, you could directly use faith power to create objects out of the void to increase the area.
However, doing so would cost about a hundred million units of faith power for every million square kilometers added, which was inefficient and not worth it.
Xu Luo's sixty million purchase of an expansion order directly increased his Divine Realm area by three million square kilometers, much more effective than using faith power directly.
However, this added a large barren area to his Divine Realm, which was already filled with various terrains.
After all, newly expanded areas initially had nothing and needed the Divine Realm's owner to spend faith power to adorn them.
Xu Luo didn't mind this; he just gradually invested the faith power he obtained into the Divine Realm.
The higher the potential of the Divine Realm, the greater the benefits when it transformed into a divine kingdom, and the more powerful the divine position obtained.
That's why he invested so much faith power into the seemingly unproductive Divine Realm.
For a god, the most important things were their divine kingdom, divine position, divine authority, divine power, and followers!
The divine position represented the direction of a god's development and was of utmost importance.
