Chapter 168: Monthly Divine Kingdom Investment Profits Exceed 1 Billion

"Take it." Yang Fan's tone was calm. "By the way, I remember you two signed a Subordinate God contract before, with someone named…"

"Lin Lang," Yang Tiexin interjected.

"Don't worry," Yang Tiexin quickly added. "Lin Lang is currently working at Xuanming Company as a junior executive. As for the contract, he took the initiative to dissolve it."

"Now that our divine kingdom is being looked after by Old Luo, you don't have to worry."

At this point, a hint of complexity and sighing flashed in his eyes.

He was once Lin Lang's Subordinate God, and nearly half of his divine kingdom's output had to be handed over.

But now, that once high-and-mighty Main God had become his subordinate. Every time they met, he would bow and scrape, even returning all past gains with interest.

This contrast made Yang Tiexin feel somewhat surreal even now.

He knew clearly in his heart that all of this stemmed from his son. He just couldn't understand why Yang Fan's influence was so immense.

Since his son didn't say anything, he didn't ask.

Doing his best and not causing trouble for his child was the only thing parents like him, who lacked ability, could do.

After chatting a bit more about Family matters, the two elders excused themselves and exited the Virtual World.

"Husband."

After the parents left, Luo Bing and Luo Rou clearly relaxed, each taking one of Yang Fan's arms.

"How have you been lately?" Yang Fan asked casually.

During this time, he had devoted almost all his energy to studying and hadn't communicated with the two for a long while.

"There's no lack of resources. I'm currently a top student in the first year at Tianshui University," Luo Bing said with a hint of pride.

"After my divine kingdom recovered, I also returned to school. My grades are quite good now," Luo Rou said softly.

"That's good." Yang Fan nodded. "Keep working hard and Breakthrough to demigod as soon as possible. I have things to do, so I'll be going now."

As soon as he finished speaking, his consciousness withdrew, leaving the two women on the sofa looking at each other.

"What's wrong with husband? Didn't he used to come looking for us every day?" Luo Rou asked in confusion.

"Could it be… he found someone new in Taichu City?" Luo Bing pouted slightly. "I heard it's full of heavenly prodigies there."

Luo Rou chuckled upon hearing this, but her tone held a hint of deeper meaning: "Cousin, you still need to hurry up."

"With husband's potential, he will surely establish his own Family or company in the future. But why hasn't there been any movement in your belly yet?"

"Cousin has good luck; with Chengrou, you'll always have a place in the future!" Luo Bing said enviously.

Luo Rou stopped joking, her expression becoming more serious: "I understand the Family Head's meaning very well. The Luo Family is too small to contain a true Dragon like husband. Sending you to his side was for the Luo Family and for yourself; I will also benefit from it."

She paused, her gaze narrowing slightly:

"No matter how many heavenly prodigies stand by husband's side in the future, at least we are both surnamed Luo."

Luo Bing was silent for a moment, then nodded gently: "I understand father's painstaking efforts. I will work hard."

Since leaving the Luo Family and entering Tianshui University this year, her sharp edges had long been smoothed away.

The B-rank talent she was once proud of was everywhere there.

The reason she could rank among the best now was mostly due to the Luo Family's investment in Yang Fan, half of which went to her divine kingdom.

On the other side.

Returning to Taichu City, Yang Fan's Physical Body lay on the bed, while his consciousness had already sunk into the library to continue brushing up on basic knowledge.

Humans have seven emotions and six desires; instinctive desires constantly stimulate the nerves, bringing brief and cheap pleasure.

But that kind of pleasure comes quickly and goes just as fast.

With the development of the divine kingdom's Mechanical Civilization and the continuous improvement of his Mental Energy, Yang Fan gradually stood on a higher cognitive level.

He began to clearly feel that true, lasting, and deep satisfaction never stems from carnal desires and pleasure. Instead, it comes from the elevation of cognition, the growth of power, and the process of peeling back the essence of the world bit by bit.

The deeper the understanding and the more control one has, the less one needs to rely on low-level desires to fill the void.

Just as Yang Da said, his past self was not a qualified deity.

Time passed, and soon it was the day of the Heavenly Pride Apotheosis Battle.

Yang Fan had already received a message from Sima Bang, and the four of them agreed to go to the examination hall together.

Before leaving, Yang Fan closed his eyes, and his consciousness entered his divine kingdom.

In the next moment, the complete information of the divine kingdom appeared in his mind.

"God Lord: Yang Fan

Divine Kingdom Area: 19.5 million square kilometers

Talent: Omitted

Believers: Foundation Establishment Realm (57,233), Martial Master Realm (1,289), Qi Refining Realm (130 million), Wu Tu Realm (51.33 million), First-class intelligent life (15,000), Fifth-order Being (3.5 billion)… Mortal (15.4 billion)

Now, the overall strength of the Believers in the divine kingdom no longer showed explosive growth but was gradually stabilizing.

In the Martial Cultivation system, Martial Master powerhouses comparable to the Foundation Establishment Realm were finally born. Although their numbers were small, it was undoubtedly a good start.

After all, the number of Believers in his divine kingdom with Martial Cultivation talent was small to begin with, and the investment in the path of martial arts was insufficient, which is why it lagged so far behind the Cultivation route.

Under Yang Da's continuous investment and regulation, the divine kingdom's profits climbed once again.

The three main sources of income—Spirit Stone, Dragon Fish, and Monkey Wine Spring—stabilized at approximately 700 million, 250 million, and 80 million divinity points per month, respectively.

Overall, Yang Fan's current divine kingdom's total monthly profits have exceeded the 1 billion divinity points mark.

In the outside world, this would already be a jaw-dropping amount of wealth, but for Yang Fan, it was still not enough.

Spirit Peach Mountain and Monkey Wine Spring were all arranged on Penglai Island, while the waters were completely covered by the Longze Water Mansion. Underground, Spiritual Veins crisscrossed, pushing the divine kingdom's Cultivate environment to the limit.

However, in the vast surface areas, except for the cities of the Believers, there were still large tracts of open land that had not yet been utilized.

Yang Fan had recently been considering whether to open up spirit fields to develop a high-level Spirit Plant industry.

But after researching for a long time, he still hadn't found a suitable variety.

Although high-level Spirit Plants offer considerable returns, most are delicate and basically require Qi Refining Realm Believers with the "Spirit Plant Farmer" profession to Cultivate them long-term.

Currently, the main professions his Believers studied at the Taichu School were still only Alchemy, forging, Talisman Master, and Formation—almost all centered around the "war system."

As for Spirit Plant Farmers, they leaned more toward logistics.

Yang Fan did not want his Qi Refining Realm Believers to waste a lot of time on this.
