Chapter 103: Tenfold Timeflow (S-rank)
At the Luo Family grounds, Luo Mingxuan stared blankly at the spot where the giant object had disappeared from the sky.
"You understand now, don't you? The Family has decided to invest everything into Yang Fan. Forget about you; even your mother and I are worth less than him now," Luo Xuan comforted him.
"Do I really have to leave?" Luo Mingxuan asked, unwilling to accept it.
Without the Family, he would have no stable supply of resources. How would his Divine Kingdom develop in the future?
"It's non-negotiable. I'll find a distant county-level city for you to live in and buy you a villa. In the future, you… forget it, it doesn't matter anymore." Luo Xuan waved his hand, his gaze turning colder.
Luo Mingxuan was considered the most talented among his descendants, but he hadn't expected the boy to cause such a disaster under his pampering.
Now that this child was essentially ruined, he had to consider starting over with a new one.
Seeing his father's attitude, Luo Mingxuan lowered his head, a trace of resentment flashing in his eyes.
Virtual World, Class 1's classroom.
"Student Yang Fan has been admitted to Taichu Academy without examination. The College Entrance Examination is coming up soon, so you all must work hard as well. After all, you were once high school classmates, and there is some sentiment there," Cao Wang announced.
The students in the class looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock, envy, and a hint of regret.
The terrifying scene in the sky earlier had already spread through the class group. Taichu Academy had sent a Third-Order God to personally welcome Yang Fan; the level of importance they placed on him was clear.
The development of a Divine Kingdom depends on talent, and even more so on resources. There was no doubt that in the future, Yang Fan would be an existence they could only look up to.
The problem was, eighty to ninety percent of the class had targeted Yang Fan before.
Sentiment my ass!
At this moment, someone looked at Li Tianheng with a hint of blame in their eyes.
"It's one thing for you to do it, but you dragged us along to bully him. Now look—there's no chance of benefiting from his success in the future."
Li Tianheng stared down at his desk, his eyes hollow, motionless.
Inside the hull of the space vessel, there was a sense of nothingness, with countless electronic data points flowing continuously across the surrounding walls.
"Your Highness, my name is Tang Yue. I will be responsible for your safety until you achieve a Breakthrough to godhood."
Unlike the tone she used when speaking with Hong Bing, Tang Yue's voice was now very soft.
"Why do you call me 'Your Highness'?"
"It is the rule of Taichu City. According to the potential ratings of the Federal Government's highest intelligent life, those at the Prodigy level are to be addressed as 'Your Highness'," Tang Yue explained patiently.
Yang Fan looked at her in confusion. "I'm curious, why did I receive such a rating?"
"According to the Divine Kingdom Awakening records, Your Highness's talent is an F-rank Resource Talent. However, after reviewing your past performance, the intelligent life concluded that Your Highness 100% possesses a hidden talent, and of a high rank at that."
As Tang Yue finished speaking, Yang Fan felt as if his heart had been squeezed.
His SSS-rank Talent was his greatest secret. Could it be about to be exposed?
Taichu City was different from Yang County; it was one of the most prosperous cities in the entire Human Race Federation, home to countless high-order gods.
Yang Fan was now somewhat worried that Taichu Academy would have a way to detect his talent.
It wasn't that Yang Fan didn't trust the human higher-ups, but some secrets became less safe the more people knew them.
Tang Yue didn't notice anything wrong with Yang Fan and continued to explain, "Hidden talents cannot be detected directly. Sometimes even the gods themselves might not be aware of them. It's normal for Your Highness not to understand your own potential."
"One might not even notice it themselves?" Yang Fan's eyes lit up.
He had known about his SSS-rank Talent since his Divine Kingdom Awakening; it was just that it couldn't be detected by the outside world once hidden.
From the looks of it, his talent might not be as simple as the hidden talent she mentioned.
"Correct. Due to the restrictions of the Divine Kingdom's laws, even the Federation's highest intelligent life cannot precisely detect a hidden talent. It can only infer the specific talent through other evidence using big data."
"For example, by analyzing the gene sequences of believers, the age of fossils, tree rings, and changes in the soil and air within the Divine Kingdom, a general conclusion can be reached."
As Tang Yue spoke, she took out an electronic tablet from her pocket and held it before Yang Fan's eyes.
"Federal Citizen Yang Fan. Detected talent: F-rank Resource. Total resource investment in the Divine Kingdom: Low. Judgment: The hidden talent is highly likely related to the flow of time."
Looking at the content on the panel, Yang Fan's heart leaped into his throat once again.
The inference alone had already guessed his talent almost exactly.
As expected of the Federal Government's intelligent life; its computing power was terrifying.
Tang Yue said calmly, "Yang County is approximately 2 billion light-years away from Taichu City. The ship needs to traverse the Dark Universe, which will take a total of one day. Before then, I will help you test your talent."
"How?"
"I have brought the equipment. Your Highness, please sit inside and follow the instructions of the intelligent life."
Tang Yue pointed toward the hemispherical space in the center.
Yang Fan took a deep breath. With a thought, he paused his Evolution Talent and stepped inside.
"Verifying identity: Federal Citizen Yang Fan. Identity verification successful. Please release the restrictions on your Divine Kingdom."
As Yang Fan released the restrictions, a large number of mini-robots suddenly appeared within his Divine Kingdom.
"Soil collection successful. Ore collection successful. Water source collection successful. Divine Kingdom air negative pressure absorption in progress. Blood extraction from Mortal, First-Order, Second-Order, Third-Order, Fourth-Order, and Fifth-Order believers completed…"
One notification after another rang in Yang Fan's ears.
Such a massive workload was entirely completed in just a few breaths.
"All data collection complete. Analysis beginning."
"Analysis concluded. Federal Citizen Yang Fan possesses an S-rank Talent: Tenfold Timeflow."
Then, the machine Yang Fan was in stopped rotating, and the hatch opened.
Outside, Tang Yue was looking at the information on her tablet. Her expression showed no surprise; instead, she had a "just as I thought" look.
"Your Highness, these are your current identity details."
Looking at the content on the tablet, the worry in Yang Fan's heart eased considerably.
"Name: Yang Fan;"
"Status: Taichu Academy Student (Divine Creature);"
"Talent: Tenfold Timeflow (S-rank);"
"Evaluation: Human Race Prodigy (Information locked)."
His SSS-rank Talent hadn't been discovered; instead, it had been mistaken for another talent.
Tenfold Timeflow—just by looking at the name, Yang Fan could guess its general nature.
Since the Divine Kingdom Awakening, hadn't his Divine Kingdom been developing at ten times the speed of others?
From this, it was clear that the Federal Government's intelligent life really was something; it had grasped the general situation of his Divine Kingdom so easily.
Perhaps it was because the effect of his current Evolution Talent was similar to Tenfold Timeflow that the intelligent life had made an error in judgment.
"Congratulations, Your Highness. The S-rank Talent, Tenfold Timeflow, provides a massive advantage in the early stages of a Divine Kingdom's development."
"What are the effects of this talent?" Yang Fan asked curiously.
"During this year since your Divine Kingdom Awakening, Your Highness should have felt that the development speed of your Divine Kingdom is far faster than that of others, right?"
"Yes." Yang Fan nodded seriously.
On the surface, Yang Fan feigned a look of sudden realization, but internally, he was in a completely different state of mind.
