Chapter 156: The War Ends, Yang Da’s Arrangements

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, nearly ten days had gone by.

Within the Alien God-Kingdom, the battle had finally reached its final stage.

Yang San led his army directly toward the divine kingdom core.

At this moment, the core area of the Fission Beast God-Kingdom was a mess, with the opponent's remaining forces numbering only fifty billion.

Yang Fan's army of Believers did not rashly launch a general offensive.

They steadily spread out their formation on the periphery, with layers of defensive lines in front and nearly five hundred thousand Adult Elves lined up in the rear, their bowstrings taut.

Arrows poured out like rain across the sky, continuously suppressing the enemy's space to maneuver.

What truly caused one's heart to palpitate, however, was not the rain of arrows, but the scene in the center of the battlefield.

A large number of Fission Beasts had been eroded by the zombie virus; their eyes were blood-red, their sanity had collapsed, and they were frantically pouncing on their own kind, biting and devouring them.

The originally dense beast tide was now actually disintegrating from within. Chaos was swallowing everything.

…

High in the sky, the Fission Beast Demigod was beyond furious, sending down one Divine Oracle after another.

"All Believers, form a defensive formation!"

"Anyone who is contaminated must be killed immediately!"

"Be careful not to get injured during the process!"

"My God…" A Fission Beast in the Qi Refining Realm looked up and reported, "The unranked subjects have no sanity and are too numerous; it is difficult to convey the Divine Oracle…"

After a brief silence, a furious will descended once again.

"Then use them as waste! Have them charge the enemy's lines!"

The command was cold and cruel; clearly, he had completely abandoned those low-tier subjects.

High in the air, the Fission Beast Demigod's gaze was locked onto Yang San in the distance, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness.

Originally, his divine kingdom possessed a core building called the 'Sea of Blood,' which could not only purify the zombie virus but also continuously replenish basic troops.

But the Human Race had happened to find the location of the Sea of Blood.

Using a Major Achievement C-rank Array, they had directly wiped out all the troops stationed there; the Sea of Blood was moved away, and the advantage of his Believers' Breeding instantly turned into a disadvantage.

The zombie virus was no longer a controllable variable but had become a fatal threat.

He felt deep regret; if he had hidden the Sea of Blood more secretly, and if he hadn't invested all his remaining funds into flesh-and-blood expansion, the situation might have been entirely different.

One wrong step led to another. Compared to Yang San, his command was simply a mess.

On the battlefield, the number of Fission Beasts continued to drop.

Fifty billion, forty billion, thirty billion…

Excluding those ranked beings who could still maintain their sanity, ordinary Fission Beasts were being devoured and consumed at a visible speed.

And Yang San still hadn't given the order for a general offensive.

This was the divine kingdom core; the opponent was already a cornered beast with no way out.

What he needed to do was not to take risks by advancing, but to besiege without attacking.

Using the long-range suppression of the Adult Elves, he would nibble away at the enemy's effective strength bit by bit.

Time was on his side; the longer it dragged on, the smaller the losses would be.

…

Three days in the real world, three years in the Alien God-Kingdom.

Finally, the last line of defense was completely torn apart.

Yang San's army drove straight in, and the opponent's divine kingdom core was successfully captured.

…

Yang Fan's consciousness immediately descended into the divine kingdom.

In the center of the divine kingdom.

Yang San knelt on one knee, hands raised high, holding a blood-red divine kingdom core in his palms.

"Master! This Divine Kingdom War took a total of twenty-seven years! The loss of Believers was eighty million, including one hundred and seventy-six people in the Qi Refining Realm!"

"The mission has been completed with Perfection!"

Yang San's voice was loud, carrying unconcealed excitement.

Inside the central palace of the divine kingdom.

Yang Fan sat high upon the imperial throne. Yang Da stood to one side, his expression calm.

Below, Yang Yi, Yang Er, and Yang San stood in a line like three ministers, respectful and solemn.

After listening to the report, Yang Fan nodded slowly, his eyes showing satisfaction.

Capturing a demigod's divine kingdom while keeping losses this low—this war could be called perfect.

And the role of the Zombie System within it was almost decisive.

Looking strictly at the input-output ratio, this single battle might have already recovered all the initial costs.

Although the number of Believers invested in the Extra-dimensional Research Institute was as high as ten billion, they were merely ordinary Mortals filtered out by the River of Hope, with an Aptitude that was only green.

Ten million such Believers might not even give birth to a single person in the Qi Refining Realm.

But the Believers participating in the Divine Kingdom War were different; they were all ranked beings.

To a god, the value of one Believer compared to another is different. This was why, when the Fission Beast Demigod first appeared, he would rather abandon ten billion ordinary Fission Beasts to prioritize saving those thousand-plus Qi Refining Realm Believers.

"Well done." Yang Fan's gaze swept over those below, his tone calm and majestic. "Next, all development of the divine kingdom will be handed over to Yang Da for his unified arrangement."

"Yes, Master!"

"Greetings, My Lord!"

Yang Yi, Yang Er, and Yang San bowed simultaneously, their voices in unison.

As intelligent life, their recognition of status was extremely clear. As the highest intelligent life of the divine kingdom, Yang Da was essentially an extension of the god's will, the 'proxy' for the entire divine kingdom.

Even if he was currently only a first-tier intelligent life, his status was far above theirs.

Yang Da nodded slightly, his gaze falling on the three of them as he quickly entered his role.

"Yang Er."

"Your subordinate is here."

"Take one thousand Qi Refining Realm Believers and one hundred million ranked beings to the Alien God-Kingdom to develop the land. Scavenge all usable resources. Whether it's buildings, flesh and blood corpses, or Ore and Materials, bring them all back to the divine kingdom."

"Yes!" Yang Er did not hesitate for a moment, turning to leave after receiving the order.

"Yang Yi."

"Your subordinate is here."

Yang Da's gaze darkened slightly. "Regarding the cultivation of the Zombie System, from now on, all Believers tested by the River of Hope to have green Aptitude will be put into the Extra-dimensional Research Institute."

As those words fell, both Yang San and Yang Yi were momentarily stunned.

"My Lord." Yang Yi took a step forward, his tone cautious. "Such an arrangement might seriously affect the population structure of the divine kingdom."

"Moreover, compared to the Zombie System, the development of the Believers themselves is the foundation."

Yang Da merely smiled faintly upon hearing this. "Don't worry, cultivating the Zombie System through this method will only last for five thousand years at most."

"Within these five thousand years, you have only one task: to use all resources to increase the birth rate of the divine kingdom."

"The specific methods are for you to decide—rewarding high-quality Medicinal Pills and premium meat, raising the social status of families that give birth, or even establishing exclusive resource tilts. I will give you the highest level of resource support."

"But there is one requirement: the total population of the divine kingdom must not fall below five billion. If you have the ability to raise the population to ten billion, I will reward you with ten mechanical hearts on behalf of the Master."

"Yes, My Lord!" Yang Yi bowed deeply, his tone clearly much more excited.

Yang Da then turned to Yang San. "Yang San, I will continue to purchase divine kingdom coordinates for you."

"In terms of troops, the divine kingdom will provide full supply. For every divine kingdom core obtained, you will be rewarded with one mechanical heart."

"Yes, My Lord!" Yang San was equally thrilled, a hint of fanaticism showing in his eyes.

For intelligent life like them purchased through the Mall, the mechanical heart was the key to evolution.

In fact, before this, Yang Fan did not know the true significance of the mechanical heart to them. Yang Yi and the others had never received any 'rewards' until now.

They were simply executing orders, precise, efficient, and without complaint. But this did not mean they had no 'desires.'

intelligent life are not emotionless dead things; they have goals and crave evolution.

It was just that in the absence of an incentive mechanism, this 'craving' was suppressed in the lowest levels of their logic.

And now, Yang Da had activated that desire.

From this moment on, they were no longer just tools for executing orders, but executors driven by 'goals.'

Efficiency would only become higher.
