“First, congratulations to all of you for awakening your Divine Kingdoms yesterday and officially becoming Divine Beings.
“I want to give special praise to three students.
Yang Fan received a C-rank evaluation, Li Shuhao received a C-rank evaluation, and Wang Zhenyu received a D-rank evaluation.
“Although the awakening of a Divine Kingdom has a certain degree of randomness, in this world, luck is also a form of strength.
Congratulations to all three of you.” As she spoke, Li Qingying lightly applauded.
All the students in Class 7, Grade 12 came from ordinary families.
With two C-rank evaluations and one D-rank evaluation among them, Li Qingying was already very satisfied.
The other students looked at Yang Fan and the other two with envy.
Their envy wasn’t because of the evaluations themselves, but because of the resources represented by those evaluations.
Although the resources awarded by the Ministry of Education could not be used for ordinary daily expenses, they at least meant the students didn’t need to ask their families for additional investment.
In other words, it indirectly reduced the financial burden on their families.
“Since the beginning of the Age of Gods, humanity’s lifespan has increased dramatically.
“You’re still young.
Don’t let temporary gains and losses make you forget why you started.” “We understand, Teacher.” “Good.
Let’s begin today’s lesson.” Li Qingying pointed toward the four large characters on the blackboard.
DIVINE BEING “What do you think a Divine Being is?” “Aren’t we Divine Beings?” “Gods who possess Divine Kingdoms?” “Ordinary people who have awakened their Divine Kingdoms are Divine Beings.” …
The students immediately began answering, and the classroom became lively.
Li Qingying chuckled softly before turning her gaze toward Yang Fan.
“Student Yang, what do you think?” “Ah?” Yang Fan was caught off guard.
Although he had always paid attention during class, he had never been the type to actively answer questions.
Why was the teacher suddenly calling on him?
“Ahem…
I think pretty much the same as everyone else.” Yang Fan scratched his head and gave an awkward laugh.
Seeing this, a trace of disappointment flashed through the depths of Li Qingying’s eyes.
Is he really just an ordinary student?
Li Qingying sighed inwardly before shifting her gaze toward Li Shuhao.
“Student Li, what do you think?” “The core of a Divine Being isn’t the word ‘divine,’ but the word ‘being.'” Li Shuhao spoke calmly.
“After awakening, we obtain a Divine Kingdom.
A Divine Kingdom is like a sheepfold, while our believers are the lambs inside it.
“From another perspective, before becoming a God, we’re still merely part of the biological chain.
“So, in a certain sense, we’re also lambs now—just another link in the biological chain.” As soon as he finished speaking, numerous gazes turned toward him.
Some were curious.
Some were surprised.
Some were deep in thought.
Others were simply speechless.
Yang Fan also looked at Li Shuhao, a strange glint flashing through his eyes.
This guy is somewhat interesting.
It’s just a pity that even though he knows he’s a lamb, he still insists on becoming a ‘thinking lamb.’ He’s not steady enough.
Li Qingying’s eyes brightened.
“Where did you hear that?” “In my spare time, I like logging into the school library and reading books.” “Very good.
Your insight is quite impressive.” Li Qingying nodded.
“Although your choice of words is somewhat unpleasant, your fundamental understanding is correct.
“So-called Divine Beings haven’t truly escaped the category of humanity.
“Apart from having longer lifespans, your physical bodies are still fragile.
“If you don’t eat for ten days, you’ll starve to death.
“If you don’t drink water for three days, you’ll die of thirst.
“And even an ordinary traffic accident could potentially take your life.
“Divine Beings are simply higher-level life forms.
We’re still fragile.” Her expression gradually became serious.
“I know you’ve just awakened your Divine Kingdoms and are all full of ambition.
“But unfortunately, I have to tell you a statistic.
“Ninety percent of the students in this class won’t even be able to break through and become Demigods.” The classroom instantly fell silent.
Many students looked unhappy.
After all, their parents weren’t Demigods either.
Most were merely ordinary Divine Beings working in logistics and other occupations.
Their greatest hope for their children was to become Demigods, change the family’s destiny, and take the entire family to a higher level.
“Teacher, how can we break through and become Demigods?” A student raised his hand and asked.
“Develop your Divine Kingdom and make your believers strong enough.” Li Qingying paused before adding, “Of course, if you want a quantitative benchmark, then even if you do nothing else every day, you should at least be able to obtain 1,000 Faith Points purely from the faith of your believers.” “1,000 Faith Points purely from faith?!” Many students’ mouths fell open, their eyes filled with disbelief.
1,000 Faith Points a day meant 30,000 a month.
One had to understand that many families couldn’t even earn 5,000 Faith Points a month when both parents’ incomes were combined.
And this wasn’t income from selling Divine Kingdom resources.
It was simply the most basic accumulation of Faith Points.
“Don’t be so surprised.” Li Qingying smiled.
“Once you truly become a Demigod, you may find that you don’t even care about this amount of income.” Yang Fan lowered his head and secretly pondered.
I still need to work hard to raise the life level of my believers.
With the current strength of the believers in my Divine Kingdom, even if their population grows to one million, the Faith Points they can provide each day will probably only be in the single digits.
This was also why a Divine Kingdom couldn’t simply rely on a massive population to make its God stronger.
If the population expanded without limit, the Divine Kingdom would eventually be unable to support them.
Soldiers needed to be elite, not merely numerous.
“Students, I’m not trying to discourage you.” Li Qingying continued, “I’m simply trying to help you understand reality.
“To become a Demigod, you need to make your believers strong enough.
“I reviewed everyone’s Divine Kingdom awakening reports yesterday.
Seventy percent of you have no talents at all.
“Among those who do possess talents, most have lifestyle-type talents.
“Just think about it.
If your believers spend most of their time performing mundane tasks such as mining, farming, and hunting, how are they supposed to become stronger?” The classroom fell silent again.
Everyone looked troubled, and some students even began to panic.
“I understand your difficulties.” Li Qingying sighed softly.
“Your family conditions aren’t good.
After becoming Divine Beings, the first thing you probably think about is how to reduce the burden on your families.
“However, as your teacher, I have to tell you this.
“If you want to become a Demigod, then from now on, you must do everything possible to improve the strength of your believers.
“Buy Resource Cards, Breeding Cards, cultivation methods, Spirit Plants, and anything else that can strengthen your Divine Kingdom.
“Invest everything you can into its development.
“If your family has the means, ask them for support.
“To break through and become a Demigod, the most important thing isn’t talent.” Li Qingying looked around the classroom.
“It’s resources.” At this point, Li Qingying couldn’t help sighing inwardly.
What the students of Class 7, Grade 12 lacked the most was resources.
If these were the top students from Class 1, her teaching strategy would probably be completely different.
“Teacher, after becoming a Demigod, do we escape the limitations of being human?” Li Shuhao asked curiously.
“Of course.” Li Qingying nodded.
“The strength of your believers will gradually feed back into your body.
“You’ve only just awakened, so the effects aren’t obvious yet.
“After some time, once your Divine Kingdom enters its golden period of development, you’ll gradually feel your physical constitution changing.
“By then, jumping onto rooftops and walking along walls will be effortless.” The students immediately became excited.
“As for becoming a Demigod, I can tell you this with certainty.” Li Qingying smiled.
“Even if you were struck head-on by a supercar traveling at 2,000 kilometers per hour, it wouldn’t be enough to threaten your life.” The students were stunned.
“Then what about becoming a God?” Li Shuhao asked again.
“If the Divine Kingdom isn’t destroyed, the God cannot die.” Li Qingying spoke with absolute certainty.
Her words were meant to encourage the students.
However, there was something she didn’t say.
Once someone truly became a God and formed a life-and-death grudge with another God, they wouldn’t fight in the real world.
Instead, they would directly send their armies into the opponent’s Divine Kingdom.
Li Qingying’s class passed quickly.
Throughout the lesson, the students actively discussed the topics she brought up.
Before they knew it, the class had already come to an end.
