Chapter 134: Divine Kingdom War Rules
Ye Jianfeng stood to the side, looking at Yang Fan with a solemn gaze.
Wen Yushui kept her head lowered, her expression a complex mix of emotions and disappointment.
Ye Jianfeng spoke up: "Brother Yang, you truly were hiding your strength."
At this moment, his gaze fell upon Yang Fan, but his heart was already churning with waves.
That vague feeling from before was indeed correct; Yang Fan's strength had even exceeded his expectations.
The Freshman semester was only half over, and he had already broken into the top one million of the Taichu Battlefield; such speed far surpassed both him and Sima Bang.
At their level, they were already considered frontrunners among the Human Race Prodigies, but Yang Fan's potential was even higher. If he took one more step forward, he might even be evaluated as a Peerless Prodigy.
Thinking of this, the confidence Ye Jianfeng originally possessed as a Genius retracted slightly.
He stood up and raised his glass: "Congratulations, Brother Yang."
Seeing this, Sima Bang also immediately stood up with a laugh: "Right, right, right, congratulations! But don't be so formal; we're all brothers."
While speaking, he directly handed another glass of wine to Yang Fan, "Come, let's drink together."
The three clinked glasses and drained them in one go, and the atmosphere thoroughly warmed up.
Only Wen Yushui, sitting to the side, appeared somewhat awkward, keeping her head down without speaking.
In Taichu Academy, potential was almost synonymous with status.
Now, among the three of them, she had clearly fallen a step behind.
A few months ago, she was still everyone's 'Little Sister Wen,' but now a rift had formed.
The reality of Taichu City was always more direct and colder than the world outside.
Returning to his seat, Sima Bang held his food tray, already beginning to plan for the future even as he ate.
“The three of us are now Demi-gods. Let's pull in a few more reliable brothers and fight a Divine Kingdom War together when the time comes!”
Hearing the words 'Divine Kingdom War,' Yang Fan's eyes instantly lit up.
“Divine Kingdom War?” Yang Fan leaned forward slightly. “Is it the school's Alien God Kingdom District?”
“What are you thinking!” Sima Bang almost choked and waved his hands hurriedly. “Is that a place we can touch right now?”
“The captive Alien Demi-gods in Taichu Academy are each more ridiculous than the last. Moreover, to cultivate the strong, the rules mandate one-on-one combat, so don't even think about cooperating with classmates. Only the Juniors and Seniors have the courage to participate.”
“If we go now? That’s just seeking death.”
The air stagnated slightly, and Yang Fan nodded, secretly feeling relieved.
He hadn't expected the school's captive Alien Demi-gods to be strong to this extent. Fortunately, he had been smart enough to play it safe and develop for a while.
“Then what Divine Kingdom War were you talking about?” Yang Fan continued to press for answers.
This time, before Sima Bang could speak, Ye Jianfeng took over the conversation.
“Coordinates for an Alien Divine Kingdom primarily come from two channels.”
“First, the military. As long as you enlist, the Virtual World can be connected to the Human Federation's Military Merit System, which has a large number of Alien Divine Kingdom coordinates recorded.”
“The military fights year-round and has the most complete information—each Alien Divine Kingdom's strength, troop types, and danger Rank are clearly marked. There's also support available, making it relatively safe.”
Yang Fan nodded. “And the second kind?”
“The Mall.”
“The Mall?” Yang Fan was puzzled. “Demi-god coordinates… can be bought?”
Yang Fan hadn't seen such things in the Mall before; wasn't it only supplies that could be freely purchased there?
Ye Jianfeng glanced at him and said somewhat speechlessly, “After you had your Breakthrough to Demi-god, didn't you browse the Mall carefully? Your permissions have changed; many companies do business in this area.”
“I really haven't browsed it much,” Yang Fan explained awkwardly. “intelligent life has always been helping me allocate resources, and after arriving at Taichu City, many building resources aren't bought from the Mall anyway.”
Since his Breakthrough to Demi-god, his divine kingdom had entered a period of rapid development. Had he not been invaded by that Monkey Demon Demi-god and experienced the thrill of absorbing a divine kingdom core, he wouldn't have even thought about actively initiating a Divine Kingdom War, so naturally, he hadn't researched it.
Sima Bang laughed heartily. “Understandable, understandable. Old Yang probably only broke through to Demi-god recently, so it's normal not to know. Furthermore, the coordinates in the Mall are different from the military's; the information is very vague, and the risk is not low.”
Ye Jianfeng nodded and added, “With the birth of Qi Refining Realm believers, a divine kingdom gains the ability for external exploration. Many Demi-gods will actively send believers out to scout. Over time, a business was born—the selling of divine kingdom coordinates.”
“There are introductions in the Mall, but the prices are ridiculously expensive. The stronger the divine kingdom, the cheaper it is; the weaker it is, the more expensive it becomes. Its price far exceeds the value of the resources within the divine kingdom itself.”
Yang Fan frowned. “Why is that?”
“The truly valuable thing is never the resources, but the divine kingdom core. These things are absorbed immediately after they are obtained and basically do not circulate on the market,” Ye Jianfeng said with a hint of longing in his eyes.
“By devouring the opponent's divine kingdom core, your divine kingdom's area will directly expand. As long as you can become a god, you will possess infinite Lifespan.”
“The larger the divine kingdom's area, the resources, believers, and industries it can carry… all see exponential growth. That is not a one-time gain.”
After hearing Ye Jianfeng's explanation, Yang Fan naturally understood.
As long as a god does not fall, the marginal benefits brought by a divine kingdom core are equivalent to being infinite.
While the pioneering work after a Divine Kingdom War is important, the core of the war is still plundering the opponent's divine kingdom core.
Yang Fan pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, “Then if believers explore outward… will they encounter a God's divine kingdom?”
As soon as he spoke, Sima Bang and the other two all looked at him with somewhat strange expressions. It seemed they hadn't expected Yang Fan to ask such a question.
Sima Bang froze for a moment, then grinned and started laughing.
“Old Yang, oh Old Yang, did you skip all your Nine-year Compulsory Education Divine Kingdom theory classes?”
Yang Fan: “…”
Sima Bang didn't keep him in suspense and explained patiently, “Divine Being, Demi-god, Low-tier God, Mid-tier God, High-tier God. The divine kingdoms of each tier are forcibly separated by the power of the Laws.”
“This is an extremely strong restriction. If gods could just run around plundering a Demi-god's divine kingdom core at will, this world would have turned into a mess long ago.”
“We young leeks wouldn't even have the right to develop; we'd be direct targets for harvesting.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Fan also agreed in his heart. Indeed, if a god could descend into a Demi-god area, it wouldn't be a battle but a dimensional strike.
Sima Bang spread his hands. “When we send believers out to explore, it's impossible to invade a god's divine kingdom. It's not allowed by the rules; this is a protection for the weak, just like the Laws of Heaven and Earth.”
At this point, Sima Bang suddenly changed the subject, “However, this doesn't mean there's a one hundred percent chance you won't be targeted by a god.”
“What do you mean?” Yang Fan frowned.
Sima Bang's expression was somewhat uncertain as he said, “I can't say for sure, I've just heard my family mention it.”
“There was once a Peerless Prodigy of our race who was directly obliterated by an alien god during the Demi-god stage, without even a chance to grow.”
