After a discussion with the school leaders, Han Wu ended up with two contracts in hand.
The first was a contract to hire 30 million skeleton soldiers. The school wanted to employ these skeleton soldiers to remain in the original plane and mine resources for them.
Although the skeleton soldiers were weak and clumsy, they had the advantage of never tiring, consuming little, and being able to work 24 hours a day.
They were practically the dream workers for any exploitative boss.
Initially, the school leaders intended to buy these skeleton soldiers directly from Han Wu.
However, Han Wu considered the long-term benefits and decided to rent them out instead of selling.
The school leaders had no choice but to sign the employment contract, agreeing to give Han Wu a share of the mining profits daily.
As for the second contract, it was about the sale of the demonized locusts.
The Abyssal Plane was not suitable for such weak lifeforms as locusts to survive.
But Han Wu's locusts were an exception.
After being summoned to the Abyssal Plane, not only did they adapt to the environment, but they also reproduced normally.
According to the school's statistics, in less than a hundred days, the number of demonized locusts had grown to over 30,000.
Although these demonized locusts were less powerful than the skeleton soldiers, they were prolific and could eat a lot.
As long as they were properly nurtured, the principal at the front lines would no longer have to worry about the pollution caused by the flesh and blood golem corpses.
And for Han Wu, 30,000 demonized locusts were nothing.
In his Divine Realm, there were billions of locusts.
30,000 demonized locusts were just a drop in the ocean.
These two contracts initially brought Han Wu 300,000 divine power, and valuable divine power would continue to flow into his account daily.
Now, Han Wu could barely claim to have a "mine at home."
As he walked out of the meeting room, Han Wu saw Qin Shuang waiting outside.
It seemed she was waiting for him.
"After I cultivate a lord-level lifeform, I'll go to a top-tier academy as a preparatory student. The resources there are more suitable for my growth," Qin Shuang said abruptly.
"Congratulations," Han Wu replied.
"Will you be going to the Imperial Capital Academy?" Qin Shuang asked.
"Yes, I will definitely go to the Imperial Capital Academy," Han Wu said firmly. He needed to go to the Chaotic Star Sea at the Imperial Capital Academy to find his lost parents.
"Alright, I'll choose the Imperial Capital Academy too. But when I enter as a preparatory student, I'll surely gain a lot of resources and improve rapidly. By the time we meet again, you might not be my match," Qin Shuang hinted. "So, while I'm not yet a student at the Imperial Capital Academy, it's still not too late for you to become my servant."
"When you get to the Imperial Capital Academy, I can protect you from being bullied by others."
Han Wu smiled wryly, "Can we not talk about being a servant? With my current assets, I can live well without being anyone's servant."
Qin Shuang seemed a bit disappointed, "Alright."
They had nothing more to say as they walked down the corridor. Han Wu said, "I need to sort out my gains from this time, so I'll leave first. Goodbye."
"Goodbye," Qin Shuang said reluctantly. Watching Han Wu's departing figure, she let out a long sigh, "What a fool, but his little skeleton form is quite cute."
With that, she summoned an interface. The screensaver on the interface was Han Wu's little skeleton form, his avatar as the Skeleton Lord.
On the other side, Han Wu teleported back to the Abyssal Plane.
Due to the contract, the skeleton soldier army had to stay behind to mine.
Han Wu could only bring some elite forces back to his Divine Realm.
Among them, the hero lifeforms Bone Manipulator and Bone Reviver had to be taken along.
The Skeleton Knights, who could summon skeleton soldiers, also had to be taken.
The Bull Demon tribe was also taken entirely.
With a full load of gains, Han Wu returned to his Divine Realm.
The rewards from the assessment had already been credited to Han Wu's account.
The divinity card glowed brightly, exuding a sense of nobility.
This time, Han Wu didn't hesitate and immediately absorbed a point of divinity contained within.
His information changed accordingly.
Name: Han Wu.
Level: Divine Creature.
Divine Talent: Chosen One (Unique).
Divine Ability: Growth Acceleration, Life Sacrifice (Unique).
Divinity: 2 points.
Divine Power: 3.5 million (self-generated divine power) / 76 million (externally generated divine power).
Faith Power: 79.03 million.
Core Level: Level 3 (Level 2 Sacred Relic Law of Gluttony (damaged), Level 1 Sacred Relic Toxic Mist Orb).
Core Followers: Locusts. (219 Transcendent lifeforms, 49.08 million elite lifeforms, 2.38 billion ordinary lifeforms)
Subsidiary Followers:
Sword Wind Tribe (Hero lifeform: Storm Greatsword)
Crimson Forge Dwarves (Hero lifeform: Divine Hammer, 2 Transcendent lifeforms, 58 elite lifeforms)
Skeleton Race (Skeleton Lord, 2 hero lifeforms: Bone Manipulator, Bone Reviver, 190 Transcendent lifeforms)
Bull Demon Race (Hero lifeform: Bull Demon Shaman, 14 Transcendent lifeforms, 2,589 elite lifeforms).
Divine Realm Buildings: Level 1 Great Furnace, Level 2 Insect Nest, Level 1 Divine Temple, etc.
Special Facilities: Fountain of Life, Disassembler, Hopeful Sacred Flame, etc.
Han Wu smacked his lips, feeling that after increasing a point of divinity, nothing seemed different from before.
Perhaps it was still because the current divinity was too little.
Not dwelling on the issue of divinity, Han Wu integrated all the gains from this assessment.
With the grade rewards and task rewards, Han Wu gained a total of 1,800 class points, several sacred relics, skills, and weapons.
The harvest from the tribes was also substantial. He gathered three hero templates, using two on the Skeleton Race and one on the Crimson Forge Dwarf Divine Hammer. Over a dozen Transcendent Seeds were yet to be used. There were also many skills, sacred relics, weapons, and special facilities that could lead to life transitions.
Overall, this assessment's gains were even greater than the unified exam.
But this didn't mean Han Wu's life would be easy, as he had more followers to nurture.
The nearly 200 square kilometers of Divine Realm were too crowded to accommodate five species with different living habits.
Han Wu waved his hand and spent 1 million divine power to expand his Divine Realm to 1,000 square kilometers.
This was the limit for a Divine Creature's Divine Realm at this stage.
Of course, merely purchasing Divine Realm land didn't cost that much divine power.
Most of the expenditure was used to transform the Divine Realm's environment, making it more comfortable for each follower to live in.
For things like Transcendent Seeds, sacred relics, skills, and weapons, Han Wu was generous and allowed his followers to take whatever they needed.
The remaining resources that no one wanted were all put up for sale in the marketplace by Han Wu.

He earned 500,000 divine power from this.
After completing these tasks, Han Wu had two more jobs to do.
The first was to strengthen the hero lifeforms. For example, buying suitable skill crystals for Storm Greatsword and equipping it with four powerful divine weapons. Finding special totems for the Bull Demon Shaman. And providing abundant resources for the recovery of the Skeleton Lord, as well as adding life-saving measures for the Bone Manipulator and Bone Reviver.
This step cost Han Wu a total of 30 million divine power.
But Han Wu didn't mind; he felt it was worth it.
Once these hero lifeforms were strengthened, their overall strength would increase several times, providing greater assistance to him in the future.
As for the second task, it was to continue building the life transition path for his core followers: the locusts.
Although locusts were weak, they were always Han Wu's core followers, the foundation of his existence.
They needed more resource allocation.
Additionally, during this assessment, Han Wu obtained several special items related to life transitions.
He decided to try and allow the locusts to develop in more directions.
After investing a large amount of time, effort, and resources, Han Wu successfully developed two life transition paths suitable for locusts.
One path, which Han Wu called the Path of Perdition, was led by the Heart of Perdition obtained from the Fallen Demon tribe, granting locusts the ability to ignore demonic energy corrosion and enhance their resistance. The success rate was as high as 95%.
Locusts that followed this life transition path would directly advance to the elite lifeform category, and Han Wu called them Perdition Locusts.
Perdition Locusts had stronger resistance, more tenacious vitality, and significantly improved resistance to negative states and magical attacks. Overall, they evolved in a defensive direction.
The other path used the harvest from the Dark Frogman tribe as the core, granting locusts the ability to blend into darkness and carry curses, with a success rate of 90%. Han Wu called this the Dark Curse Path.
Locusts that followed the Dark Curse Path would also advance to elite lifeforms, capable of stealthy flight and inflicting various negative effects on enemies, taking the assassination route.
Han Wu called them Dark Curse Locusts.
In addition to the Celestial Demon Insects with strong piercing power and an offensive route, there were now three types of locusts with their respective advantages, complementing each other and significantly enhancing Han Wu's overall combat power.
