Invitation task

The queen ant stared at the three lines of words engraved on the stone of divine power.

Her mind was instantly in a complete muddle.

What was all this about?

What was so sacred and inviolable?

What was going on?

Only the last sentence, "The will of the gods cannot be defied," made sense to them.

"To simplify, it means that any ant that kills another ant, you must kill it. From now on, every ant can legally store food and be protected by you. If any ant steals or robs another ant's food, you are responsible for catching it and imprisoning it," Deng Ru explained to the queen ant.

"Father, I understand. These are the rules to restrain and protect our people," the queen ant responded, slowly waving her two antennae.

After spending a long time with these ants, Deng Ru had figured out their communication patterns.

When they waved their antennae particularly slowly, they were thinking.

Commonly known as "I reckon."

And when their antennae waved quickly, it meant they had finished thinking and were in a good mood.

"Good to know. Di, continue with your endeavors," Deng Ru said.

.......

Deng Ru then returned to the living room, lay down on the sofa, and picked up his phone, aimlessly scrolling through entertainment websites.

He knew very well what kind of ridiculous things would happen when the second law was issued to these ants.

They could store and own their own food.

Then food could be used as a hard currency to trade for whatever they wanted.

Inevitably, professions similar to merchants would emerge, and the process of primitive accumulation would begin.

In the end, the most evil thing in human history would appear.

Capitalists!

But unfortunately, according to his knowledge and conclusions.

Capitalists were an inevitable part of civilization development and could even be considered one of the driving forces of civilization.

Instead of preventing their emergence, it was better to allow them to appear and accelerate their development.

When the time was ripe, he could change the social structure of these ants.

As a god with unlimited lifespan, he had plenty of time to guide and observe the development of these little ants.

While Deng Ru was scrolling through his phone.

A message popped up on the screen again.

It was from that Aqing.

"Hey friend, are you free? The god I believe in wants to meet you."

Deng Ru was obviously taken aback when he saw this message.

The god behind Aqing wanted to meet him?

It didn't take long for Deng Ru to figure out the key point.

On Blue Star, provincial-level gods were extremely rare.

Some national-level gods are not even as powerful as the provincial-level gods in China.

It can be said that, in the absence of the powerful god that occupies the entire China,

the provincial-level gods are the most powerful beings.

As a fanatic follower of the provincial-level deity, his status was naturally self-evident.

Deng Ru relied on the identity of a fanatic follower of the provincial-level deity.

The deity behind Aqing wanted to make friends with him, which was understandable.

"Well, I'm free recently. Anytime, Aqing, you and your deity decide." Deng Ru responded to Aqing.

This was his first face-to-face encounter with other deities since he was transported to the Blue Star.

Naturally, he didn't want to miss it.

He also didn't have to worry about being exposed as a liar, as the deity behind Aqing was only at the county level.

He was now a city-level deity.

Lower-level deities couldn't discern higher-level deities.

"Friend, you agreed? That's great! Let's make it tomorrow afternoon at that shopping mall. We've already booked a private room." Aqing's excitement was evident on the other end.

"Alright, tomorrow afternoon, same place." Deng Ru sent the message and soon received a location from Aqing, which was the booked private room.

Deng Ru put away his phone and walked to the bedroom door.

He had successfully engraved meridians on six soldier ants.

All the ants now knew that it wasn't Di's intention to kill Gan, but that Gan's weak body couldn't withstand the divine power.

The soldier ants with engraved meridians, under the refinement of divine power, became red like Di.

Their bodies also became countless times stronger.

"Hmm, it seems like these ants are also on the right track. I don't need to interfere with them too much indeed." Deng Ru nodded with satisfaction.

These ants with engraved meridians could provide him with about 0.15 divine power per hour.

Although it didn't double, it was still quite considerable.

After all, these ants hadn't started absorbing divine power to cultivate yet.

In the future, when they cultivated, their divine power might double or even reach the human standard.

He was very satisfied.

.....

The next day, in the afternoon.

Deng Ru turned off the game he was playing on his phone.

He opened the location sent by Aqing.

It wasn't far, on the second floor of the shopping mall where he had bought furniture before.

A buffet restaurant.

"Damn it, inviting someone to eat at a buffet? This Taoist priest... I'm going to block him. So disappointing." Deng Ru complained.

He had planned to eat a lot and even take some back for his ants.

But it was a buffet, and he couldn't even take leftovers.

As a freeloader, he felt very unhappy.

Deng Ru composed himself and looked at his little ants. In just one day, they had produced 300 soldier ants with engraved meridians.

They were now led by Di, absorbing the divine power leaking from the divine power stones.

Their bodies were so small that even 300 of them couldn't absorb all the divine power from the two stones in a week of continuous absorption.

"Hmm, creating a batch of innate cultivators first and then letting these innate cultivators lead the other soldier ants to cultivate is indeed a good idea." Deng Ru was very pleased. The fact that Di could come up with such an idea meant that it was destined to be the second-in-command leader after the queen ant... the leading ant.

Although this approach was simple and obvious in human society, it was a groundbreaking initiative for a group of little idiots starting from scratch in an ant society.

One shouldn't have too much expectation from little idiots.

After confirming that the little ants were on the right track, Deng Ru took his bank card and went downstairs.

Since he was going out, he decided to buy a house and move his little friends there.

One bedroom wasn't enough for them to mess around, so he needed to buy a big mansion, preferably one with a garden.

When he got downstairs, Qiuyuan was lying on a rocking chair outside her door, her eyes slightly closed, enjoying the slow rocking motion. Her fingers gently stroked the petals of the flowers beside her, while on the round table next to her, there was a phone and an open book.

The scene made Qiuyuan seem like a girl emitting a relaxed and content atmosphere.

Looking at this scene, no one would ever imagine that this girl would be sent to the deity in H City to suffer inhumane abuse in just over half a month.

The methods that deities used to torment ordinary people were unimaginably painful.

Most women would have been mentally broken by now.

But Qiuyuan was still here, relaxed and enjoying her book and flowers.

If one judged solely by her appearance, Deng Ru seemed more anxious than she was.
