As soon as Luo Luo returned home, a steward delivered the supplies he had specifically requested. The next day, he was brought to the family warehouse to select the items he liked.
"I can just take anything here?"
"That's right. The patriarch has given the order that you can take whatever you want."
"Then I won't hold back, hehehe."
This was also Luo Luo's first time entering the family warehouse, and the variety of items inside dazzled him.
Of course, he started selecting the best items first, but the best item in the family was a black hole-level lightning core. Having this item would allow the construction of a very powerful lightning-based race. However, giving it to Luo Luo would be somewhat of a waste. Although he could activate research divine power to analyze it, that would take too much time. The higher the item's level, the longer it would take to analyze with research divine power, and such precious time shouldn't be spent on this at the early stage.
Overall, the efficiency would be too low. So he could only see if there were any usable items among the stellar-level goods. Remarkably, Luo Luo indeed found something good.
Item Name: Void Gem
Level: Stellar
Function: Can establish a mental connection with multiple users, allowing users to place or retrieve items at will.
Description: Requires extremely stable mental power to use.
"How could such a good item be left here to gather dust?"
He happened to see a line of text below the item.
**Requires stable mental power to use.**
That made sense. The mind exists as an intangible entity within the biological brain. As thoughts change, mental power fluctuates, meaning it's difficult for a person to maintain stable mental power, even in a state of sleep.
So, such a powerful item could only be gathering dust in the warehouse.
Next to it was a similar item, the Illusion Gem.
Item Name: Illusion Gem
Level: Stellar
Function: Can establish a mental connection with multiple users, allowing users to display or retract images, pictures, or text at any time.
Description: Requires extremely stable mental power to use.
The two items were quite similar. Seeing these two treasures, Luo Luo immediately thought of the internet and time-space express delivery, which could be used anytime and anywhere.
The only trouble was how to keep the users' mental fluctuations stable.
This reminded him of computers and smartphones. Luo Luo was astonished by his own idea; creating the internet in a magical world was truly a crazy thought. What was even crazier was that it might actually be achievable.
With this in mind, Luo Luo noticeably sped up his selection of items. After choosing several items he felt he could use, he immediately returned home to carefully consider his plan.
Originally, Luo Luo's divine realm completion plan was merely to combine the previously unlocked special buildings and some technological devices with the newly developed capabilities. He never expected to encounter such bizarre gems in the family treasury.
Even their functions were pointed out. The crucial next step was to activate research divine power to see what kind of capabilities could be analyzed from the two gems and whether he could obtain what he hoped for.
"Ding, Research Task 3: Void Gem Analysis, Progress 0%, Estimated Completion Time: 8 months."
"Ding, Research Task 4: Illusion Gem Analysis, Progress 0%, Estimated Completion Time: 8 months."
Fortunately, after passing the demigod test, his research divine power had been upgraded, allowing him to analyze four projects simultaneously.
Before starting the completion plan, Luo Luo had intended to dig for a few items he might need for analysis, but upon seeing these two gems, he realized he had to prioritize analyzing them first.
If he could achieve what he envisioned, the benefits would be unparalleled.
Of course, he would have to wait a while to find out the answers. This time would be perfect for Luo Luo to enhance the foundation of his divine realm.
First, he used the race cards that the steward had previously given him.
Race Name: Norr Human
Level: LV1
Physique: 2
Strength: 2
Agility: 2
Spirit: 2
Talent:
1. Learning: The Norr human race learns any other skills significantly faster, improving learning efficiency.
2. Wisdom: Humans forsake powerful bodies to develop a more mysterious brain, significantly enhancing intelligence, with no professional restrictions for the race.
3. Collaboration: Multiple humans can work together to complete a task, doubling the speed of task completion.
Skills: None
Description: This is a race with infinite possibilities.
Looking at the data on paper, humans have talents far superior to other beings, except for their lack of skills. However, most gods dislike using humans as subjects due to the immense difficulty in their advancement. Humans have very fragile bodies and a low affinity for other elements. Cultivating a high-quality human requires far more time and energy than for races with higher qualities. Therefore, on the Earth source continent, humans can only serve as part of the effort to enhance the diversity of races among various gods, effectively functioning as a filler race.
The subjects in the divine realm cannot ascend to godhood.
This has led to an unspoken rule recognized throughout the Earth source continent. The human subjects, like Norr humans, are not of the same race as terrestrial humans.
Even though many human race cards have been rewarded in the foreign battlefield and outer realm battlefield, few people actually use them, leaving them stored away in various family warehouses.
This, however, was not a major issue for Luo Luo. He always believed that garbage was simply resources not placed in the right context. Compared to the magic system, humans are far more important to the technology system.
While elves, dwarves, and goblins are also relatively basic and low-level races, their fates are much better compared to those of humans.
Race Name: Nature Elf Race
Level: LV1
Physique: 3
Strength: 3
Agility: 4
Spirit: 4
Talent:
1. Child of Nature: Increases the effectiveness of learning and using nature-based magic by 100%.
2. Magical Race: Elves inherently master magic.
3. Plant Manipulation: Elves can easily control plants.
Skills:
1. Rapid Growth: Can accelerate the growth rate of plants. (Cooldown: 10 minutes)
Description: No one can defeat them in the forest.
What Luo Luo wanted was a branch of the elf race, the nature elves, also known as wood elves. They specialize in using plant-based magic and are the weakest branch of the elf race.
Race Name: Blackstone Dwarf Race
Level: LV1
Physique: 5
Strength: 5
Agility: 4
Spirit: 3
Talent:
1. Metal Master: Has an extraordinary understanding of metals and can master the properties and refining methods of various metals.
2. Mineral Scent: Improves accuracy by 100% when exploring minerals and increases efficiency by 100% when mining minerals.
Skills:
1. Forging: Blackstone dwarves have a significant chance to enhance the item level when forging.
Description: This is a race that makes its home in stone.
Race Name: Labi Goblin Race
Level: LV1
Physique: 4
Strength: 3
Agility: 5
Spirit: 3
Talent:
1. Dexterous Hands: Significantly increases success rate when crafting items.
2. Inventive Creation: Generates random innovative effects when developing items.
Skills:
1. Contemplation: Greatly enhances the race's wisdom during the skill period. (Duration: 1 hour, Cooldown: 24 hours)
Description: One of the basic races, good at research and using tools.
These were the subjects Luo Luo wanted; all of them were selected after he had reviewed a substantial amount of information. These subjects were special branches within their respective races. They may be weak in strength, but their talents and skills were very compatible with Luo Luo's technology system.
Luo Luo first used the divine realm card to expand his territory.
Item Name: Divine Realm Card (Land)
Level: Planetary
Function: Expands your divine realm, increasing it by 100 square kilometers.
Item Name: Divine Realm Card (Ocean)
Level: Planetary
Function: Expands your divine realm, increasing it by 100 square kilometers of ocean.
These two items are crucial supplies for gods. The importance lies not only in their ability to expand the divine realm but also because the resources beneath the surface increase randomly when a god uses a divine realm card. If one is lucky, they might even obtain some rare resources or high-level races.
The cards require time to refine. Therefore, some simple resources are best if they can be self-sufficient. Wasting precious time refining ordinary resources is a significant waste for a god.
Of course, the speed of refinement varies from person to person. Based on Luo Luo's talent, a divine realm card only requires one day to refine.
Meanwhile, the metal resource card he specifically requested can be refined in less than ten minutes.
Item Name: Metal Resource Card
Level: Planetary
Function: Adds various metal veins to the divine realm.
Description: A basic resource card for the divine realm.
Such items are rarely used during the demigod stage; most demigods will directly grant equipment cards to their subjects. This allows their subjects to quickly increase their combat and defensive capabilities.
As for transforming into veins, even an open-pit mine requires a considerable amount of labor to excavate. Doing this at the demigod stage is quite unwise.
Thus, like basic subject cards, metal resource cards are abundantly available in the world.
In various trading places, these two types of cards are some of the least valuable.
This worked in Luo Luo's favor; he not only cleared out these two types of cards from the family's inventory but also used his pocket money to buy a lot on the market.
This race card, at only LV1, can be refined every ten minutes. Each card contains a population of 1,000, with varying ages.
First, he refined the divine realm card. Then he used two basic cards—ecological completion cards.
Item Name: Ecological Completion Card (Plants)
Level: Planetary
Function: Increases the variety of plants in the divine realm, making the ecosystem more complete.
Item Name: Ecological Completion Card (Animals)
Level: Planetary
Function: Increases the variety of animals in the divine realm, making the ecosystem more complete.
These two cards could solve the initial food problem. After refining these two cards, he immediately had the robots start harvesting and fishing to prepare for the entry of subsequent races.
Then Luo Luo began the arduous refining process.
For every part he refined, he assigned tasks to them. Initially, they would build houses in the planning area, assisted by robots. At the same time, he also needed to restock on living animals for farming, distinguish the new types of plants, and begin planting staple foods and vegetables. He also marked various discovered fruits and gathered them.
After nearly a month of hard work, Luo Luo's entire divine realm underwent a tremendous transformation.
Now, Luo Luo's attributes were as follows:
God: Luo Luo
Number: 700008427086
Divine Title: God of Technology (1st Tier Demigod)
Divine Power: Research
Ability 1: Everything Can Be Researched—Can research all objects, energies, and skills.
Ability 2: Everything Can Be Merged—All results from completed research can be freely merged.
Ability 3: Restrict Divine Arts—The effects of divine arts cannot apply to your divine realm, and your faith races cannot learn divine arts.
Ability 4: Restrict Racial Characteristics—All races in your divine realm will lose magical characteristics and cannot promote divine envoys.
Ability 5: Restrict Alien Energies—No energy-type items or skills other than technological powers can be used in the divine realm.
Divine Arts: None (Prohibited)
Divine Power: 1 drop (1 thread of divine power: preparatory god; 1 drop of divine power: demigod; 100 drops of divine power: true god)
Faith Value: 330 million (10,000 faith value = 1 thread of divine power; 100 threads = 1 drop)
Divine Realm: 1,900 square kilometers (Mountains 50%, Plains 25%, Hilly Areas 5%, Lakes 20%)
Faith Races: Mechanical Race (Unique), Human Race (Norr Human), Elf Race (Nature Elf), Dwarf Race (Blackstone Dwarf), Goblin Race (Labi Goblin)
Population: 200,000
With a large population and vast territory, Luo Luo's divine realm exhibited a scene of prosperity. All races began to develop diligently in their assigned areas. Unlike the mechanical race, Luo Luo could not transmit his ideas directly into the minds of these races; he could only manage them through the mechanical race.
Each race was aware of its own situation and cooperated well with the commands of the mechanical race. They also began to unintentionally merge with each other. This was particularly evident in the architectural styles of various races within the divine realm, which clearly showed influences from other races. The most significant influence came from the culture of the mechanical race, as they were the first to appear in the divine realm and were also Luo Luo's initial faith race. The simple industrial architectural style of the mechanical race influenced the other races; for instance, the houses built by humans were relatively square and rectangular. Various buildings among the goblins and dwarves extensively utilized metals. Although the elves lived in the forest, their houses also featured many metallic decorations.
Of course, the integration of different races was not instantaneous or entirely harmonious. There were still significant differences in the customs of the various races, which often led to minor frictions.
Although Luo Luo noticed these issues, he did not rush to resolve them. After all, he had just completed the divine realm's expansion and had not yet arranged a specific divine realm system. Rushed methods of handling certain problems could prove unsatisfactory and hinder the overall development of the divine realm. While he was the master of this divine realm, it was not as easy to control these sentient races as it was with the mechanical race.
For now, he could only temporarily plan certain activity ranges for each race and arrange for robots to patrol the borders to prevent accidents. He could only suppress the conflicts between various races with this method for the time being.
Most gods, when selecting faith races, tend to categorize them into primary and secondary races. This means that they cultivate one faith race as the primary race, while the others serve to support the primary race or even act as slaves to it.This clear distinction is a learned solution to managing multiple races.
Luo Luo did not want to use such a crude method. So he needed to come up with a good plan to address these issues.
