He was extremely familiar with the nature of this power—it was divine power.
After all, he had lived in the world of gods for decades, and his demigod body was composed entirely of pure divine power.
As William carefully sensed, he could vaguely perceive what seemed to be a thread connecting his soul to the core of his divine domain.
After seven months of divine power transformation, he was already beginning to evolve toward becoming a transcendent being.
This transformation not only enhanced his physique but also granted him some special abilities that he had never experienced in his previous life.
For example, the moment William stepped out of the divine login pod, he rushed straight into the bathroom to take a shower.
In the past, it had always been difficult for him to scrub his own back, but now, a bath towel under the control of his mental power moved as if an invisible hand was gripping it, vigorously scrubbing the dirt off his back.
Thanks to the transformation by divine power, William could now extend his mental power outward, and telekinesis was one manifestation of this ability.
Although his power was still weak—barely able to lift a five-kilogram dumbbell—manipulating a bath towel to scrub his back was no problem at all.
"Oh, God, please bless me with a successful bloodline card fusion this time. I'm a simple man; I don't ask for much. As long as the Thunder Wyvern Beast bloodline card succeeds, I'll be satisfied."
After saying this, William respectfully placed an incense stick into the small censer on the table before turning toward the divine login pod.
Opening the door, lying down, and closing his eyes—all in one smooth motion—he instantly returned to his divine domain.
There, he hovered in midair, eyes closed, arms spread wide and slightly raised, striking a pose of unity between man and nature.
Then, he extended his divine sense outward, gathering the winds and clouds of his divine domain toward himself.
By sheer force of will, he created a celestial phenomenon befitting a child of destiny, further reinforcing his own fortune.
When he finally opened his eyes, the superstitious ritual had given him the psychological reassurance he needed, and William now exuded confidence.
"Burning incense and bathing—ritual propriety! This time, I'm definitely set."

His demigod form flickered and disappeared from its spot.
When he reappeared, he was already standing before an incubation nest. Without hesitation, he pulled out a high-grade bloodline card from within himself and activated it instantly…
Having gone through this process numerous times before, William was now highly skilled in infusing an incubation nest with a transcendent bloodline. There was none of the anxiety he had felt when he first used a transcendent bloodline card.
William had completed the production of this transcendent incubation nest.
The process went smoothly, though the frustrating 30% failure rate had cost him seven incubation nests.
But most importantly, the Thunder Wyvern Beast bloodline card had fused successfully.
The loss of the other incubation nests was still within an acceptable range for him.
Now, all incubation nests in his divine domain had undergone transcendent transformation.
Although their total number had decreased to 28, the improvement in the quality of the swarm's future production would undoubtedly lead to an increase—not a decrease—in combat strength.
Currently, William had:
-
13 Zergling incubation nests,
-
13 Hydralisk incubation nests,
-
1 Baneling incubation nest,
-
And finally, the incubation nest infused with the Thunder Wyvern Beast bloodline.
Gazing at this special incubation nest, its surface flickering with blue lightning, William immediately issued an order to the Queen through his divine sense.
He commanded the Thunder incubation nest to merge with the existing swarm unit templates and produce a few specimens of each for testing.
As William patiently awaited the results, they turned out to be just as he had expected.
Without genetic adjustments, merely brute-forcing a fusion with existing templates resulted in extremely low success rates.
Only a few Beast of Thunder eggs—perhaps due to the presence of large biological genes—successfully hatched into larvae.
Other genetic templates couldn't even support the emergence of life from the eggs, turning them directly into dead eggs.
Even the few larvae that did hatch were in extremely poor condition. Seeing their sickly state, William quickly examined their genetic structure.
The original structure of the normal gene templates had been grotesquely distorted by the sheer number of transcendent genes forcibly embedded into them.
Their genetic templates were under immense strain, on the verge of collapse at any moment.
Based on his past experience, William judged that even if these larvae survived the pupation phase, it was still uncertain whether they could emerge from their cocoons—let alone survive afterward.
After all, this bloodline card carried distinct draconic traits.
The sheer number of transcendent genetic tumors in its structure made it impossible for the swarm's existing unit templates to be compatible without dedicated modifications.
"Forget it. I'm already taking shortcuts as it is. Hoping for a miracle where a perfectly usable unit appears out of nowhere was unrealistic from the start."
"I should just focus on designing a proper template from scratch."
Unfazed by the initial failure, William had only been trying his luck.
If the incubation nest had miraculously managed to produce a unit that required no further modifications, he would have struck gold.
After pausing production at the Thunder incubation nest, William's demigod form flickered and reappeared in the cavern where the Queen resided.
"Master, you have returned."
Upon seeing William, the Queen immediately lowered her head to the ground, her two antennae gently touching the surface as well.
Through the faith connection, a surge of emotions expressing submission and respect was transmitted to William.
Ever since William had nourished her with large amounts of the Fountain of Life, all these years had passed, yet the Queen had remained almost unchanged.
