The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

The power comparable to a God...

Upon seeing this line in the log, Luo Yan's eyes filled with evident surprise, and he subconsciously held his breath.

The legend of the Dragon Hunter seems to be the key point for the condensation of the Dragon God's divine stature.

Or in other words—

Dragon God Gu Tafu was elevated to the divine throne by his followers only after bestowing them with power.

"The prerequisite for obtaining power is to give power... but if he wasn't a God at that time, how could he give power to his followers?" Youyou, still confused, couldn't help but whisper as she floated beside Luo Yan.

Luo Yan pondered for a while, then slowly spoke.

"My guess is... perhaps there is no chronological order to these two actions; they happened simultaneously."

"Happened simultaneously?"

Looking at Youyou tilting her head in the mirror, Luo Yan nodded.

"Yes."

The Dragon God and His followers jointly wove the legend of the Dragon Hunter and the reward rules. His followers believed that the awarded strength was endowed by the Dragon God. These two things together completed a self-consistent Power of Faith distribution system, thereby fulfilling the prerequisite for the birth of divine stature.

By gathering the thoughts of all in the name of God, and then distributing the fruits of creation in God's name... Transcendent power and the divine stature above the transcendent were born together!

So that's it.

Luo Yan gradually understood the mystery within, and the brightness in his eyes grew as he continued to read the log's contents.

Perhaps because he stood from the same standpoint of having divine stature, after attempting to understand Gu Tafu's situation, he could comprehend more and more content.

Because that was the optimal solution, even the only solution—

If it were him, he would do the same.

"...I've realized, as long as I can gain more followers and expand the territory of faith, my strength will increase accordingly."

"Since that's the case, why should I stick to the notion that my followers have to be those ugly hairless monkeys—"

"I can totally use my own DNA to create an entirely new species!"

Luo Yan could feel the excitement conveyed through the words.

Meanwhile, this newly inspired Captain Gu Tafu completely let go of his original persistence, no longer hesitating.

"...It's been more than fifty years, and the confidentiality period for the project is almost over, yet the rescue team is still nowhere to be seen, not even a signal. Perhaps the Zeta Empire has long forgotten me, or maybe they haven't, but the distance between us can no longer be measured in astronomical units. Since that's the case... why should I worry about legal or illegal? Damn the uncharted species protection regulations, I'm in an emergency avoidance situation! Yes, if I become a true God, I might be able to go home!"

"My deduction is not without reason. Although the civilization level of this world is low, their use and understanding of Subspace far exceed those of the Zeta Empire's most advanced scholars. The idiots at Research Station 111 are still pondering how to send vehicles into Subspace, while they can even afford to use Subspace as a warehouse or even a teleportation gate for physical bodies!"

"Thus, I created the first species loyal to me. To better adapt them to this planet's environment, I made slight improvements to their scales and muscle fibers, allowing them to retain their full intellect while preserving the wildness of beasts, enhancing their territorial and reproductive desires... This way, they could quickly expand their physical territory."

"The experiment was very successful. With my help, these adorable little guys soon nurtured the fire of civilization and immediately deified me after realizing my existence, obeying my every command!"

"I must say, these cute little guys are much more pleasing to my eyes than those hairless monkeys. I feel almost like I'm back in my homeland. I've even thought, if I could never go back, spending the remaining time helping these young children build their civilization wouldn't be bad. Who knows, one day in the future, they might be inspired by the Enlightener and find a way home for me, taking my relics back to my homeland."

"I gave them a name—Armored Dragon Clan, just like those impolite natives named me back then."

"Since setting foot on this unfamiliar planet, I've never felt so ambitious. Under my guidance, they expanded their tribe and developed rapidly, replacing those hairless monkeys in just fifty years, their footprints covering the entire continent, and even reaching out into more distant worlds!"

The more distant worlds should refer to the Ancient Continent.

It took him a century to leave the novice village. Luo Yan, for a moment, didn't know whether to praise his caution or comment that this was too cautious.

Of course.

Considering that this planet is full of "Aliens", it's understandable that Gu Tafu is a bit careful. After all, this guy isn't a transmigrator like Linte Isaac, who not only seamlessly blended into this world as soon as he landed but was also part of the vested interests.

With the Lizardmen's reproductive speed, assimilating a continent in fifty years is considered fairly standard.

However, this guy must have encountered a setback in the Ancient Continent. Judging by the results, the Lizardmen over there lived quite miserably, essentially only able to inhabit areas completely unwanted by Humans. Whether in Hell or on the surface, they couldn't integrate, and their situation was even worse than that of goblins.
