Chapter 493 - Requesting Help on the Forum

Even after searching online, Han Wu still couldn’t find anything that fit his criteria. Some vendors sold corpses of various life forms, but those were usually the remains of powerful individuals.

It was fine to feed his core race premium corpses from time to time, but he couldn’t afford it as their daily meals, not even if he had ten times the assets he possessed now.

Han Wu had no choice but to check the Imperial College forum in search of a solution.

The forum was filled with news about Han Wu.

[The previous first-year valedictorian did this to the daughter of Light...]

[His divine realm was only 2 million sq km in size. What kind of calamity did he experience?]

[I’ve never seen an Earthsunder life form before, and I saw eight of them today...]

[Elina received a grim reminder on this day...]

Various clickbait titles were posted on the forum. Han Wu glanced helplessly through them. These people were exceptionally talented at inciting hatred towards him. Unfortunately, he couldn’t do anything to interfere with their freedom of speech.

Deciding to ignore them, he posted a new forum post stating that he would give 10 Divine Essence to anyone who could give him a good answer. The students quickly took notice of the high reward and started commenting.

[Have you heard of the Black Frog Civilization? It’s a small civilization, but the native life forms there—Black Frogs—have astounding reproductive capabilities. They breed once a year, but can lay up to 300 million eggs at once and have a survival rate of 1%. If they were stronger, they could’ve taken over the universe with their numbers alone.]

[Don’t listen to the guy above. Black Frogs are numerous, but he failed to mention their size. They’re no larger than a fly! My core race, the Black Bear, can eat tens of millions of them in one bite. He’s trying to trick you!]

[Hey, listen to me. You can buy what you need from the Fleshy Ravine Civilization. The Pale Grub they have over there is huge and nutritious. There’s also a lot of them.]

[Don’t listen to him, listen to me. Go and find the Silver Oak Civilization. The Silver Oak there produces enough sap to feed your core race.]

...

A deluge of comments flooded the post.

Suddenly, one of the commenters noticed something strange.

[Hold on, look at the profile photo of the original poster. They have the icon of a valedictorian. Is this the second-year valedictorian?]

[Hey, you’re right! The third and fourth-year valedictorians have different photos, and the first-year valedictorian hasn’t been decided yet. This has to be the second-year valedictorian!]

[We found a boss to follow. Please look after me.]

[Please look after me!]* 10086

The post turned into a spam of repeated messages. Han Wu immediately closed the forum. He was trying to ask a question and was caught instead.

News of his asking for a source of food spread rapidly, and soon everyone within the college knew about it, including the Xiang Meng trio.

The trio was busy invading a civilization. The native life forms there were the Dark Demon Bugs, which fit his criteria. So, Xiang Meng contacted him.

Han Wu picked up the call. “Brother Meng, what’s up?”

“Han Wu, I heard you’re looking for a source of food for your core race? I have a good suggestion here.” Xiang Meng sent some documents to Han Wu.

Han Wu opened them up. It was a middle-sized civilization called the Enlarged Civilization. As the name suggested, everything within it was massive. The plants and life forms were humongous, and even the dirt was a hundred times larger than in other places.

The most abundant life forms there were the Dark Demon Bugs. They were huge, with newborns measuring two meters long. They also swiftly grew larger as they aged.

The largest Dark Demon Bug the trio had seen was several hundred thousand meters long, enormous even for the Enlarged Civilization. Han Wu checked the data and considered them a possible candidate. However, he needed to check it out himself to be sure they were truly suitable for his locusts.

After some discussion, Han Wu followed the coordinates that Xiang Meng gave him. Several jumps through space later, he arrived at the Enlarged Civilization, where the three were already waiting for him.

“Junior Han Wu, I didn’t think we would meet again so soon,” Xia Tian greeted.

Ye Ling smiled and waved at him while Xiang Meng gave him a passionate hug. After greeting them, Han Wu checked his surroundings.

As Xiang Meng had described, everything in this civilization was larger than normal. The four of them were like ants among humongous plants peering up into the blue sky.

A single blade of grass could grow eighty meters tall here. It was almost as tall as some ancient trees.

Han Wu opened his divine realm, and a figure appeared. It was Amelia, the locust that had previously mutated into a War Angel. She twirled in the air before landing beside them.

Xiang Meng’s trio stared at Amelia’s strange three wings in confusion. A regular angel had wings in pairs: two, four, six, and so on. Why was Amelia different? Could it be a hybrid of a two-winged angel and a four-winged angel? Or was it a six-winged angel that had fallen from grace?

Though their hearts were full of questions, they dared not give voice to them. After all, Amelia was an Earthsunder life form, far stronger than all their units combined.

“Amelia, go and find some Dark Demon Bugs.”

She nodded before soaring up into the air.

Han Wu then summoned more of his lower-ranking locusts. Thanks to Random Evolution, his lower-ranking locusts came in all shapes and sizes.

The trio was stunned and confused.

Xiang Meng could no longer resist his curiosity. “Han Wu, I thought your core race was locusts? Why do you have so many different races? Did you collect them?”

“Senior Meng, it’s a long story, but they are my core race,” Han Wu answered honestly.

Xia Tian was perplexed. “Junior Han Wu, are you pulling our legs?”

There were wolves, tigers, chameleons, pigs, and all kinds of animals among the summoned life forms. Not one of them was a locust.

“Of course not. I explored the Desolate Civilization and managed to take a sliver of its Will. The core race of my divine realm can now use Random Evolution. That’s why they all look like this.”

“Random Evolution?” Xia Tian stared at Han Wu’s varied core race with amazed interest.

At that moment, Amelia returned with a Dark Demon Bug that was around ten meters long. She threw it on the ground with a dull thud. It appeared to be quite fleshy.

“Go and eat,” Han Wu instructed his lower-ranking units.

They eagerly pounced and sank their teeth into the Dark Demon Bug, finishing it in just ten minutes. Many of them gathered enough energy to activate Random Evolution, and soon, a blood-red energy turned them into bloody eggs.

The senior trio was in shock.

“Han Wu, what are your core race doing?” Ye Ling asked curiously.

“They’re evolving.”
