Chapter 224

With each Divine Crystal, there was a chance that the Dark Dragon Hound could gain one or two points of divinity.

The Dark Dragon Hound had taken more than a dozen Divine Crystals.

Not all the Void Insects had divine crystals inside their bodies. Su Ping found that some of the more ferocious ones had a higher chance of containing divine crystals.

Su Ping didn't know what the divinity could be used for, but he would be able to see the effect when the divinity reached a hundred points.

That wormhole was a low-rank one. The bugs inside were generally at the seventh or ninth rank. Some of the bugs with Divine Crystals were at the peak of the ninth rank. There were a few bug generals that were as ferocious as beast kings.

Su Ping had to rely on his sneaky hiding skills and his pets' unlimited revivals to kill all the bugs. It had taken him more than half a day.

"The gods in the Demigod Burial don't seem to be pure-blooded gods, but subspecies. They have mixed bloodlines of gods and humans. An adult who has never cultivated has a natural combat strength of five, which is comparable to a fifth-rank battle pet warrior …"

"Most of the gods that have cultivated are at the ninth or ninth rank. The elites are at the beast king level and some of the more famous ones are at the lord level …"

"Above the lord level are the Major Gods, and above the Major Gods, there are the Supreme Gods …"

That distribution of combat strength was not as good as the Chaotic Realm of the Undead that Su Ping had gone to, but it was still a horrifying world.

If the Blue Planet were to approach such a world, it would be enslaved and colonized.

After all, the most powerful warrior on the Blue Planet was merely an "elite office worker."

After some rest.

Su Ping slowly sat up. He told the Dark Dragon Hound and the Heaven Pig to collect Divine Crystals from the dead insects.

The dead insects were torn apart one by one, revealing the green liquid and black blood, which gave off a putrid smell.

The Dark Dragon Hound was very familiar with Divine Crystals. It dug open the bodies and searched for Divine Crystals.

Half an hour passed.

The Dark Dragon Hound put the Divine Crystals it found in front of Su Ping. There were over a hundred of them.

Su Ping told the Heaven Pig and the Little Skeleton to keep looking for Divine Crystals. He then called the Dark Dragon Hound over, told it to lie down, and patted its head.

The Dark Dragon Hound was flattered by the sudden affection. It stared at Su Ping in confusion.

Su Ping chuckled. He picked up the Divine Crystals on the ground and fed them to the Dark Dragon Hound.

The Dark Dragon Hound breathed in the fragrance of the Divine Crystals. The Dark Dragon Hound relaxed a bit. It chewed the Divine Crystals one by one, as if it were chewing on bones.

Devour!

The Dark Dragon Hound was happy to have the Divine Crystals all to itself. The Little Skeleton, the Heaven Pig, and the Purple Python were all envious of the Divine Crystals. However, Su Ping didn't give any to them, but to the Dark Dragon Hound. What did that mean?

It meant that its master cared for the Dark Dragon Hound much more than the other pets.

The Dark Dragon Hound licked Su Ping's palm after it finished eating the Divine Crystals.

Su Ping smiled, patted the Dark Dragon Hound's head, and continued to feed the Divine Crystals.

The Divine Crystals were reduced one by one. Su Ping noticed that the Dark Dragon Hound's Divinity value was increasing bit by bit. Sometimes, it would increase by two points, and sometimes it would increase by one point.

In the blink of an eye, the pile of Divine Crystals on the ground was almost gone. At the same time, the Dark Dragon Hound's Divinity value had reached more than ninety, close to a hundred!

Soon, he would know the function of the Divinity value!

Su Ping's eyes glowed. He looked at the Dark Dragon Hound carefully. When the Dark Dragon Hound's Divinity value reached ninety nine, he fed it another Divine Crystal.

The Dark Dragon Hound chewed and swallowed the Divine Crystal. Su Ping saw that the Dark Dragon Hound's Divinity value was full.

The moment the Dark Dragon Hound was full, the Divinity value returned to zero.

In the meantime, Su Ping saw a new attribute under the Dark Dragon Hound's attributes — Divine Power!

Divine Power: one point.

Su Ping was confused. Divine Power?

He had thought that when the Divinity value reached the maximum, the Dark Dragon Hound's combat strength would be enhanced or its bloodline would be transformed. He didn't know that it was just a new attribute of Divine Power.

While he was wondering, Su Ping suddenly noticed that all the Dark Dragon Hound's skills had a bracketed option.

Skills:

Earth Shield (Divine Skill: three points of Divine Power)

Slash Dragon Claw (Divine Skill: two points of Divine Power)

Wind Shield …

…

Apart from those skills, Su Ping also saw a new attribute under the Dark Dragon Hound's attributes, called "Holy Pulse."

The Dark Dragon Hound's current Holy Pulse number was zero.

"What's going on?" Su Ping asked the system.

The system answered after a moment of silence, "Divine Power is the crystallization of Divine Power. It can enhance the strength of the pet's skills and it can also be converted into bloodline energy to transform the pet into a mythical beast!"

Su Ping was stunned.

He didn't expect that the system would answer his question. More importantly, he didn't expect that the system could transform a pet into a mythical beast!

"What's the difference?" Su Ping couldn't help but ask.

Su Ping was more concerned about the improvement of the pet's combat strength compared to something intangible like quality. Combat strength was the way to go.

"There are many benefits to transforming into a mythical beast. Your lifespan will be increased, and your cultivation method will be different from that of regular beasts. You will find out the specific effects when you exchange for the Identification Skill of Mythical Beasts," the system explained.

"… Are you trying to seduce me? How much energy does the Identification Skill of Mythical Beasts cost?"

"One hundred thousand."

Su Ping almost spat out blood.

The system had deliberately left him hanging. A hundred thousand energy points was a huge sum of money for him at the moment.

Still, the system's words gave Su Ping some help and direction. It seemed that the more Divine Crystals he had, the better. He would have to use them to enhance his skills or transform his pet into a mythical beast. The Divine Crystals were a treasure.

"I didn't know that I was right to come to this divine realm," Su Ping said to himself.

He suddenly remembered the Chaotic Realm of the Undead. He asked the system, "Since there are mythical beasts, are there any undead beasts?"

"There are nether beasts, creatures with the same bloodline as mythical beasts. They are common in the Chaotic Realm of the Undead," the system answered.

Su Ping glared at the system. "So, when I was in the Chaotic Realm of the Undead, I was able to find something similar to the Nether Crystal and transform my pet into a nether beast?"

The system answered calmly, "The Chaotic Realm of the Undead is a complete world. The Bugs cannot invade the Deep Abyss. Without them hunting the undead creatures, the Nether Crystal would not have been formed. You won't be able to obtain it even if you know about it, unless you go to the deepest part of the Chaotic Realm of the Undead yourself …"

Su Ping continued listening. He was speechless when the system suddenly stopped talking.

However, judging from the system's words, it seemed like it had a deep understanding of the Insect race.

"The Nether Crystal is refined by the Bugs hunting the undead creatures? Then, the Divine Crystals are … "Su Ping asked.

"The bodies of gods or demigods," the system answered coldly.

Su Ping's expression changed.

He looked at the corpses of the Zerg on the ground and the remaining divine crystals in his hand. He frowned slightly. Did this mean that the Zerg that had divine crystals dug out of their bodies had eaten the God Race?

One Divine Crystal was equivalent to a God Clan?
