Chapter 154: The Essence of Divine Kingdom Investment

Inside the room.

Yang Fan took a deep breath, suppressing all stray thoughts.

The next moment, with a thought, he threw all the Spiritual Vein Cards in his hand into the Divine Kingdom.

'Boom!'

As if an invisible force exploded between heaven and earth, phantoms of Spiritual Veins emerged from the Void Realm, coiled like Dragons, and then quickly merged into various parts of the Divine Kingdom.

The earth trembled, and mountains and rivers rose and fell.

Spiritual Qi gushed out from deep underground like a torrent, turning into extremely thick mist that quickly permeated the entire Divine Kingdom.

Within just a few breaths, the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the Divine Kingdom surged by more than a hundredfold!

In the sky, spiritual clouds surged; on the ground, plants grew wildly, and mountain rocks glowed.

All believers sensed this earth-shaking change almost at the same time.

Their expressions were fanatical as they knelt on the ground one after another.

“Thank you for the gift of my God!”

“My God is eternal!”

“I am willing to dedicate everything to my God!”

Pious shouts rose and fell, echoing throughout the Divine Kingdom.

In the real world, Yang Fan's body was also undergoing changes.

A warm and majestic force slowly surged from the depths of the Divine Kingdom, feeding back into his Physical Body in the real world.

That feeling was not a simple increase in power. It was more like an enhancement of some kind of “upper limit.”

It was as if the capacity of the original container had been forcibly widened, and the power it could carry was raised invisibly.

In the Divine Kingdom, Yang Fan's gaze fell on the forest where the Ancient Spirit Tree was located.

Now, that area had long since changed drastically.

Numerous moon wells and sun springs were spread out like leaves, covering almost the entire forest. The extremely thick breath of life flowed in the air, as if turning into a substantial haze.

Even those originally ordinary shrubs were quietly transforming. Their branches and leaves became more lush, their trunks became tough, and they faintly revealed a bit of spirituality.

“You spent the rest of the funds on moon wells and sun springs?” Yang Fan was somewhat puzzled.

“C-grade buildings are too cheap,” Yang Da's tone was calm. “I purchased a total of two hundred million units, spending only six hundred thousand divinity points. Now, the forest where the Elf Race is located has been completely filled.”

“If it weren't for cultivating the subordinate race, these C-grade buildings themselves wouldn't be worth investing in.”

With the support of the Evolution Talent, even if it's just a C-grade building, it can bring Yang Fan nearly six hundred thousand divinity points in revenue every month in the real world.

But compared to the massive investment portfolio of the entire Divine Kingdom, this bit of income is indeed just a drop in the bucket.

“After the Ancient Spirit Tree grows into a Holy Spirit Tree, buildings like moon wells will lose their acceleration effect. At that time, they can all be sold off to recover funds,” Yang Da said.

“According to the Master's idea, you planned to fill the entire Divine Kingdom with moon wells and sun springs. Although the individual yield is low, by relying on quantity, they can pile up an amazing total yield.” Yang Da paused, his tone shifting slightly, “However, I do not recommend doing this.”

“Why?” Yang Fan asked.

“There are two reasons.”

Yang Da spoke slowly, his tone calm and clear.

“First, the investment efficiency is too low.”

“Under the enhancement of the Evolution Talent, the yield of C-grade buildings can indeed be called exorbitant. But the problem is, this is a waste of the Divine Kingdom's resource slots.”

“The space in the Divine Kingdom is limited. Using it to carry low-tier yield buildings is essentially sacrificing the future upper limit.”

He raised his hand and tapped lightly, and several sets of data appeared in the Void Realm.

“With the current investment structure of the Divine Kingdom, if the Evolution Talent is not considered, the return on investment for the Monkey Wine Spring is about 50%, and Dragon Fish farming is close to 100%.”

“Such returns are already enough to support the current resource cycle of the Divine Kingdom.”

“But this is only a stage-specific optimal solution. When the Master promotes to a low-tier deity, the investment targets you can access will be completely different.”

“For example, mass forging of high-tier weapons, large-scale cultivation of special medicinal materials, or even raising True Dragons and Phoenixes with Nascent Soul-level combat power.”

“The stronger the strength, the more high-return projects you can participate in.”

Yang Da's gaze narrowed slightly.

“If you rely on the Evolution Talent to forcibly raise the yield of low-end investments, this is essentially a form of laziness.”

“The development of a Divine Kingdom is like sailing against the current; if you don't advance, you retreat. On the war level, stability is needed; but on the investment level, you must constantly iterate toward higher yields and higher potential.”

“Given the Master's current status as a Human Race Prodigy, using a large number of resource slots to carry C-grade buildings is essentially losing opportunity costs.”

Yang Da said this with a tone of absolute rationality.

He turned around and waved his right hand lightly. A light blue light screen spread out in the air, like a miniature panoramic map of the Divine Kingdom.

“As for the second reason, it is the risk of war.”

“As the Divine Kingdom continues to develop, the exposure of coordinates is an inevitable result. If moon wells and sun springs are deployed on a large scale in these areas, the result is obvious.”

He raised his hand and pointed to the vast area on the outskirts of the Divine Kingdom.

“They will be plundered at the first moment.” Yang Fan's eyes narrowed, showing a look of contemplation.

“Divine Kingdom investment is not a case of ‘the more, the better.’”

Yang Da's speaking speed increased slightly, entering a state of analysis that was almost like a deduction.

“The entire Divine Kingdom can be roughly divided into a three-layer structure.”

“The outermost layer is the buffer zone. This is the first point of contact in a war, and its main function is to weaken the enemy's offensive and buy time. Defensive buildings, consumable positions, and low-value bait resources should be placed here to disperse the enemy's fire and judgment.”

“The core logic of this layer is ‘disposable.’”

“Any high-value assets invested here are a waste of resources.”

He moved his finger slightly, pointing to the middle of the Divine Kingdom.

“The second layer is the combat zone. This is where the flames of war truly spread. Once a Divine Kingdom War breaks out, this place will almost certainly be repeatedly contested, and the battlefield for the believers of both sides will be here.”

“During non-war periods, this place is only suitable for medium-value assets to maintain basic output. Once war breaks out, the assets in this layer must be ready to be cleared at any time.”

“Its core logic is ‘damageable.’”

Finally, Yang Da's finger fell toward the center of the Divine Kingdom.

“The third layer is the core zone. This is the true lifeblood of the Divine Kingdom. High-value resources, core assets, and key production systems must all be concentrated here and protected by the strongest defense system.”

“The logic of this layer is ‘indispensable.’”

Yang Da withdrew his hand, and the light screen slowly dissipated.

“Therefore, every unit of area in the Divine Kingdom is a strategic resource, not just a carrier for Divine Kingdom investment. How it is allocated depends on war expectations, the stage of growth, and the Master's strength limit.”

“This is the essence of Divine Kingdom investment.”

After listening to this analysis, Yang Fan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It hadn't been long since his Breakthrough to become a semi-god. Except for that initial Demi-god Demon Monkey, no real external enemy had ever stepped into his Divine Kingdom.

Because of this, his previous thinking was indeed somewhat one-dimensional.

Divine Kingdom investment is never about simple “yield maximization.” It must be matched with the overall combat power system.

Otherwise, even if you possess a mountain of treasure, one day it will only become someone else's prize.
