Chapter 131: Foundation Establishment Believer, Dinner Gathering
Yang Fan logged out of the Virtual World.
The moment his consciousness returned to reality, his expression suddenly changed.
The divine kingdom—it was undergoing a change.
In the next instant, he clearly felt a surge of power erupting from within his body, as if some Bottleneck had been broken once again.
“A believer in the Foundation Establishment Realm!” Yang Fan’s face showed an expression of excitement.
A double blessing has arrived today!
A Foundation Establishment Realm believer was born within the divine kingdom.
This change directly drove an overall leap in the kingdom's level.
Yang Fan could clearly sense that his overall strength had increased by at least twenty percent.
Without hesitation, Yang Fan sent his consciousness directly into the divine kingdom.

Assets: Dragon Fish Fry (100 million)…”
Since the last time he absorbed a divine kingdom core, Yang Fan had not continued to increase his investment in the divine kingdom.
The current divine kingdom no longer needed to rely on simply piling up resources to increase returns. What was more important was improving the overall quality.
Spiritual Qi density, the Cultivation environment, the combat system, and the structure of the believers—using these to increase the Cultivation speed of the believers was what mattered most.
After several months of accumulation, the overall combat strength of Yang Fan's divine kingdom believers had already increased by five to six times.
With the appearance of a Foundation Establishment Realm believer, the strength of the Ten-Palace Yama Array had reached a whole new level.
His gaze swept across the entire divine kingdom as he muttered to himself, “Perhaps… it’s time to give the Taichu Battlefield a try.”

Consciousness returned to reality.
Just as Yang Fan was preparing to enter the Virtual World, his wristwatch suddenly lit up.
A group message popped up.
Sima Bang: “Brothers, I’ve broken through to Demigod! Yuexiang Pavilion, my treat!”
Ye Jianfeng: “Congratulations.”
Wen Yushui: “Congratulations, I’ll be there shortly.”
Yang Fan glanced at it and also replied: “Congratulations, I’m heading over now.”
The Taichu Battlefield could be entered at any time, but it was hard to decline Young Master Sima’s invitation.
—
Yuexiang Pavilion.
Inside the private room, the other three had already arrived.
Sima Bang sat in the main seat, looking high-spirited, his brows filled with an irrepressible smugness.
Ye Jianfeng sat to the side, his expression calm, wearing his usual polite smile.
Wen Yushui sat slightly further back, her posture noticeably humbler; her gaze frequently drifted toward the door, her eyes holding a trace of loneliness.
The door was pushed open, and Yang Fan walked in.
Almost the instant he stepped inside, Ye Jianfeng’s expression froze.
Ye Jianfeng’s gaze locked onto Yang Fan, his pupils shrinking slightly. “You…”
Before he could speak, Sima Bang had already stood up.
“Holy crap, Brother Yang! You’ve broken through to Demigod too? Since when? Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Wen Yushui was also stunned, and the way she looked at Yang Fan clearly changed.
Reality was different from the Virtual World; the aura of a Demigod powerhouse could not be hidden at all.
“I broke through just recently,” Yang Fan said modestly.
Although the few of them lived nearby, they usually spent their days working hard to develop their divine kingdoms and mostly communicated through the Virtual World. They rarely met in person in reality.
Wen Yushui lowered her head, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
Even Yang Fan, who came from an ordinary background, had broken through, while she… hadn't even touched the threshold of a Demigod yet.
In Tiannan City, Wen Yushui was the jewel of the Wen family, an S-rank Genius envied by everyone. But after coming to Taichu Academy, in less than a year, she had already felt the immense pressure from her peers.
In the past, she stood on a high pedestal, surrounded by admirers, and her talent was her halo; but once she stepped into a higher world, she realized that so-called geniuses were just Mortals being measured anew in a different place.
The real gap lay not in how high one once stood, but in whether one could still support oneself once the halo faded away.
Sima Bang said warmly, “Come, come, come, take a seat!”
To be able to break through to Demigod in freshman year meant his potential could be ranked among the top of the Human Race Prodigies. Yang Fan’s status in his heart had also risen considerably.
Yang Fan took a seat further inside.
Ye Jianfeng then spoke slowly, “Brother Yang, your strength… did you really just break through?”
As the first among the four to break through to Demigod, he had also made huge progress over the past few months. Coupled with his S-rank Physique, the ‘Ten Thousand Sword Body’, his perception far exceeded that of an ordinary Demigod.
Precisely because of this, Ye Jianfeng felt something was off.
The faint aura Yang Fan emitted was too strong—unreasonably strong, even—giving him a vague sense of pressure.
This feeling even made Ye Jianfeng doubt if his judgment was wrong.
Yang Fan was slightly startled; he hadn't expected Ye Jianfeng’s Mental Energy to be so strong!
The Demigod Realm could not be hidden, but Yang Fan combined Cultivation and Martial Cultivation, and with his Indestructible Golden Body Technique at the grandmaster realm, his control over himself had reached the absolute peak.
Normally, an ordinary Demigod would be unable to see through his depth.
“Just a bit of good luck.” Yang Fan simply smiled and did not answer directly.
Ye Jianfeng’s eyes held some doubt, but he did not press further.
The atmosphere in the private room soon became lively.
Sima Bang raised his wine glass and laughed, “By the way, Brother Ye, what’s your current rank in the Taichu Battlefield?”
“Around 1.9 million.”
“You broke two million already? Impressive.” Sima Bang gave a thumbs up. “I’m only around 2 million something. I’m following the Martial Cultivation path, so my believers’ physical bodies can hold out, allowing me to last a bit longer. But in the end, I’m still at the tail end.”
“For a first-time participant, that score is already quite good.”
Then, Ye Jianfeng turned his gaze toward Yang Fan. “What about Brother Yang?”
“I haven’t gone yet,” Yang Fan said truthfully.
The air went slightly still.
“Haven’t gone yet?” Sima Bang was stunned, then slapped the table. “How can you hold back! Go and give it a try right now; it’s only a matter of a few minutes anyway.”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and called out, “Bring a virtual helmet!”
After a moment, a staff member brought one up.
Seeing this, Yang Fan could no longer refuse. He took the helmet and put it on.
—
Consciousness connected.
The outline of Taichu City rapidly expanded before his eyes.
Familiar spatial coordinates locked on.
In the next moment, Yang Fan appeared in the Taichu Battlefield area.
A cold, mechanical voice sounded:
“Identity verified—Freshman student, Yang Fan. Do you wish to connect to your divine kingdom and manifest your believers?”
“Yes.” Yang Fan nodded.
“Connection complete.”
