Covenant Made! The guardian deity of the ant tribe

Under the eager anticipation of all the ants and Deng Ru, the queen ant slowly extended her antennae towards Deng Ru.

On this day, the finger of a god and the antennae of an ant touched.

A covenant was formed between the god and the ant colony.

This was the greatest day in the history of the ant colony, to be recorded in pheromones by the historian ants for generations to come.

"Merciful Father, we are honored to be your followers. You are the supreme being in the heavens and earth, and we, the humble, dare only look up to your back. We will erect statues of you throughout the heavens and earth."

The queen ant once again conveyed her admiration to Deng Ru.

Beside her, an ant's two antennae trembled wildly, releasing a complex pheromone.

This pheromone could form a white granule the size of a grain of sand.

It could preserve the information inside for a long time.

It was similar to humans carving words on stones in ancient times.

"In the first year of the King's reign, the great god noticed us and successfully formed a covenant with the King. Our ant colony has gained the favor of the god, and today, our ant colony will rise completely!"

As the white granules appeared, the antennae of all the ants in the living room began to tremble.

Deng Ru didn't use his divine power to translate, but he could see that these ants were celebrating in their own way.

They were cheering for Deng Ru to bless their species.

Deng Ru ignored the revelry of these little ants and took out his stored food from the refrigerator.

As a god, he didn't need to eat, but eating was just a habit left over from his previous life.

Now that he had these ants to support, the food in the refrigerator naturally belonged to them.

"Is this food enough for you all?"

Deng Ru used his divine power to ask the queen ant.

The queen ant looked at the mountain of food in front of her, and her antennae trembled wildly.

She couldn't hide her joy.

But as the queen of the ant colony, she couldn't let joy overcome her senses.

After some calculations in her mind, her two antennae began to tremble again.

"Merciful Father, although you have granted us food that we have never seen in our lives, it is still far from enough to achieve the scale of over one billion as you said."

"How many times more food do you estimate is needed?"

Deng Ru naturally didn't think that such a small amount of food could support billions of ants.

He could go out and buy more food later.

However, just 50 million ants would deplete his entire refrigerator of food, and he had no idea how much food would be needed to support over a billion ants.

Taking over H City was also urgent, otherwise, it would be difficult to support so many ants.

"Merciful Father, thank you for your generosity. If we want to achieve a scale of over one billion, we need at least thirty times more food!"

The queen ant danced around excitedly, rubbing her two front limbs together continuously.

Thirty times more food meant filling thirty vertical refrigerators with food.

This was not a huge amount of wealth for Deng Ru at the moment.

As a god, he wouldn't be so poor as to not have any money.

"I see. Wait patiently for a few days, and I will grant you an endless supply of food."

Deng Ru walked into his bedroom, took his phone, and left the rental room.

Although gods nourished humans in this society, human order still existed.

Stores and other places were still open, and compared to the Earth where Deng Ru had lived in his previous life, the only difference was that people would not starve to death.

After all, humans were precious believers.

Whenever someone could not survive, clergy members would bring them food.

As Deng Ru walked downstairs, he saw the figure busy watering flowers.

His only human follower.

Deng Ru chose not to greet her, as he felt unworthy to meet his follower when he couldn't even protect her.

"Oh, Brother Ru, are you going to work?"

What he feared most happened. Deng Ru had chosen not to greet Qiu Yuan, but she saw him.

The girl's smile was as bright as the sun, and it was hard to tell that she would enter hell in just a month.

She seemed very optimistic.

This was Deng Ru's only impression of Qiu Yuan at this moment.

"No, the refrigerator is empty, so I'm going to buy food."

Deng Ru had no choice but to forcefully interact with his only human follower at this moment.

Although he had gained confidence to compete with the gods of H City with his ant colony, everything was still uncertain. Until everything was settled, Qiu Yuan would still be sent to the hands of the gods of H City to suffer.

"Oh? I didn't know that gods also needed to eat. I thought gods only ate incense like in the books."

Qiu Yuan seemed naive at this moment.

"You know that you're going to marry that god soon, don't you? Don't you fear what that means?"

Deng Ru looked at Qiu Yuan, who gave off a feeling of innocence and naivety, and his heart was full of doubts.

"I know. The body disposal plant is not far away, but even if I know, I can't change anything. However, even if I can't change my fate, I can change my mood."

"I still have a month left, and during this month, my parents will unconditionally support me in whatever I want and whatever I do. I'm very happy."

"Look, Brother Ru, how beautiful these flowers are. I wanted to raise them before, but my parents wouldn't buy them for me. Now that I'm going to marry a god, they bought them for me."

Qiu Yuan said, stroking one of the flowers gently. The delicate flower trembled slightly but soon stood upright again.

"You're such an optimistic girl. I don't think optimistic people deserve to be treated this way."

Deng Ru finally said the comfort he had held back in his throat.

"No one has ever said that optimistic people can live a carefree life forever just because they are optimistic. Suffering is fair, it just happens to choose me."

"Brother Ru, when you come back, take a pot of flowers with you. I won't be here in a month, so let the flowers be your followers in my place."

Qiu Yuan picked up the most vibrant pot of flowers and said to Deng Ru.

"Alright, I'll take the flowers. If possible, I hope both the flowers and you can continue to be my followers."

Deng Ru didn't refuse Qiu Yuan's kindness. After a brief conversation, he left.

The more optimistic Qiu Yuan appeared, the more guilty he felt about his previous heartless actions.

She was his only follower, and he hadn't even given her a word of comfort before sending her back.

She had seen him as her only lifeline, but he had been so heartless.

"Damn, I really deserve to die."

On the way, Deng Ru put himself in Qiu Yuan's shoes and came to this conclusion.

He now urgently wanted to become stronger and develop the ant colony to over a billion ants.

One could say that he, as a god, was even more anxious about the reproduction plan of the ant colony than the queen ant herself.

Even if they couldn't reach over a billion, at least they needed to be able to rescue Qiu Yuan from the gods of H City.
