"First, I want to congratulate everyone on Awakening your Divine Kingdoms yesterday and becoming Divine Beings. I'd like to give a special shoutout and commendation to three people: 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, luck is also a form of strength in this world. Teacher congratulates you all here." Li Qingying clapped her hands lightly and said.
All the students in Class 7, Grade 12 came from ordinary families. With two C-ranks and one D-rank from this Awakening, Li Qingying was already very satisfied.
The rest of the students looked at the three of them, their faces likewise filled with envy.
This wasn't because of the evaluation itself, but rather the allocation of Ministry of Education Resources represented behind this evaluation.
Although the Resources rewarded by the Ministry of Education could not be used for other daily consumption, at least they didn't need to ask their families for investments, which also indirectly reduced the burden on their families.
"Since the advent of forest-like eras and the Deity Era, human lifespans have increased significantly. You are still young, and you must not get bogged down in temporary gains and losses and forget your original aspirations." Li Qingying changed the topic.
"The students understand."
"Alright, let's start today's class. In your opinion, what is a Divine Being?" Li Qingying pointed at the four large characters on the blackboard.
"Aren't we?"
"Deities who possess Divine Kingdoms?"
"Ordinary people who undergo Awakening become Divine Beings."
...
The students off the stage spoke one after another, all answering enthusiastically.
Li Qingying chuckled softly and looked at Yang Fan: "Classmate Yang, what do you think?"
"Ah?" Yang Fan was stunned. Although he always listened attentively in class, he had never thought about answering questions. Why did the teacher take the initiative to ask him today?
"Cough, cough, my thoughts are about the same as everyone else's." Yang Fan scratched the back of his head and gave an honest, awkward smile.
Seeing this scene, a trace of disappointment flashed in the depths of Li Qingying's eyes.
Li Qingying immediately shifted her gaze to Li Shuhao and continued: "What does Classmate Li think?"
"The core of a Divine Being does not lie in divinity, but in being a living creature. Through Awakening, we have our Divine Kingdoms, and the Divine Kingdom is like a sheepfold, while our believers are the caged lambs. By the same logic, we can draw a conclusion: if one does not become a deity, one is merely a link in the food chain. From a certain perspective, we are also lambs nowadays, or part of the food chain." Li Shuhao stated his view in a calm tone.
As his speech ended, many gazes turned towards him—some curious, some surprised, some deep in thought, and some speechless.
Looking at the other person, a trace of unusual color also flashed in the depths of Yang Fan's eyes: "This guy is kind of interesting. It's just a pity that even though he clearly knows he's a lamb, he still wants to act like a lamb with thoughts. He's not steady enough."
Li Qingying's eyes lit up: "Who did you hear that from?"
"In my free time, I like to log into the school library to read books."
"Very good. Your insight is quite good. Although it sounds a bit unpleasant, the core idea is correct.
The so-called Divine Beings still haven't broken free from the category of humans. Aside from lifespan, 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; encountering a minor traffic accident could potentially forfeit your life.
Divine Beings are merely a slightly more advanced species, yet they are still fragile.
I know that you have just awakened your Divine Kingdoms and are full of vigor, but I am very sorry to tell you a statistic: ninety percent of the people in our class cannot even make a breakthrough to demigods." Li Qingying's expression was incomparably serious.
The classroom was very quiet, and many students had bad expressions on their faces. After all, their parents were likewise not demigods, but merely Divine Beings engaged in logistics work. Most of their parents' demands on them were to achieve a breakthrough to demigods and change the fate of their families.
"Teacher, how can one achieve a breakthrough to a demigod?" A student raised their hand and asked.
"Work hard to develop your Divine Kingdom and make your believers powerful enough. Of course, if you want a quantified indicator, even if you do nothing every day, you can still obtain 1,000 Faith Points relying solely on your believers' faith."
"Obtaining 1,000 Faith Points purely through faith!" Many students opened their mouths wide, their eyes filled with disbelief.
1,000 a day means 30,000 a month. You must know that many people's parents together couldn't even earn 5,000 a month, let alone the fact that this wasn't selling Divine Kingdom supplies, but the most basic acquisition of Faith Points.
"Don't be surprised. When you truly become a demigod, you probably won't care about this little income anymore."
Yang Fan lowered his head and thought secretly: "I still have to work hard to elevate the life level of my believers. If it's based on the strength of the believers in the Divine Kingdom now, even if it develops to one million people, the Faith Points provided daily are probably only in the single digits."
This is also why Divine Kingdoms cannot make deities stronger through mass troop production. If the population grew without restriction, the Divine Kingdom simply couldn't sustain it in the end. This chapter was taken from novelping . com without permission.
Troops should be elite rather than numerous.
"Classmates, I am not discouraging you, but rather letting everyone recognize reality. If you want to become a demigod, you need to make your believers powerful enough. Yesterday, I looked at the reports of everyone Awakening their Divine Kingdoms: 70% of the people have no talent, and most of the remaining talented ones are lifestyle-type talents.
Just imagine, if your believers spend most of their time doing transactional work like mining, farming, and hunting, how can you make them stronger?"
Hearing this, the crowd wore troubled expressions, and some students' faces became anxious.
"I know your difficulties. Everyone's family conditions are not good. After becoming Divine Beings, the first thing you want to do is help your families reduce their burdens. However, as your teacher, what I want to say is that if you want to achieve a breakthrough to a demigod, then starting from now, you must try every possible method to work hard to improve the strength of your believers.
Purchase Resources cards, Breeding Cards, all kinds of Cultivation Techniques and Spirit Plants, and invest them all into the development of the Divine Kingdom. If conditions permit, let your families give their support.
If you want to achieve a breakthrough to a demigod, the core is not talent, but Resources."
Speaking of this, Li Qingying couldn't help but let out a long sigh in her heart.
What the students of Class 7, Grade 12 lacked the most were Resources. If they were those top students in Class 1, their teacher would probably have a completely different set of teaching models.
"Teacher, after advancing to a demigod, do we break away from the category of humans?" Li Shuhao asked curiously.
"Of course. The strength of the believers will feed back into the corresponding deity's body. You have just awakened, so it might not be obvious yet. After a period of time, when the Divine Kingdom goes through its golden development period, you will gradually feel the changes in your Physique, and even flying over eaves and walking on walls will be a breeze.
As for achieving a breakthrough to a demigod, I can clearly tell everyone that even if you are hit by a supercar traveling at 2,000 kilometers per hour, there will be no danger to your life."
"What about deities?"
"As long as the Divine Kingdom does not perish, the deity will not die." Li Qingying said with a resolute tone.
Li Qingying said this sentence to encourage everyone. In fact, there was another sentence she didn't say: when one truly becomes a deity, if there is a feud of life and death, one won't make a move in the Real World at all, but will directly dispatch troops to the Divine Kingdom.
Li Qingying's class passed very quickly. The students actively discussed during the class, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for class to end.
