Chapter 219: Complete Annihilation

After much deliberation, Yang Fan ultimately decided to sell off all the Monkey Wine Spring and Spirit Peach Mountain assets.

When he first chose to develop the brewing industry, Yang Fan was still just a Divine Being. The income generated by the B-grade Monkey Wine Spring building was naturally quite substantial.

But now, this amount of income was completely negligible.

More importantly, Spirit Peach Mountain occupied far too much space.

Nowadays, what Yang Fan valued most was no longer mere resource income, but the development of his believers.

The larger the population of believers, the higher the probability of producing powerhouses would increase proportionally.

And the overall combat power of his divine kingdom would improve synchronously.

Sacrificing a large amount of living space for that bit of income was starting to seem counterproductive.

Moreover, for ordinary believers, Penglai Island could be considered a top-tier residential area.

The Spiritual Qi was rich, and the environment was superior.

It was extremely suitable for population growth and Cultivate.

It was time for Spirit Peach Mountain to be phased out of the divine kingdom!

In order to further expand living space, Yang Da also began purchasing a large number of City of Technology.

However, all of this required time.

Believers were, after all, not tools.

They had their own culture, their own Family, living habits, and emotional attachments.

If one were to blindly pile up City of Technology, the believers might not necessarily be willing to relocate.

This was akin to people originally living in a bustling, large city suddenly being asked to relocate to a remote, new district.

Even if the conditions weren't bad, most people would still instinctively resist.

Yang Fan was not in a hurry regarding this.

As his divine kingdom continued its Evolution, the newly added cities would sooner or later gradually become prosperous.

Once the population density in the old urban areas became increasingly high and the living environment began to decline, there would naturally be those who would choose to relocate on their own.

This kind of matter did not require forced intervention through Divine Oracle at all.

Letting the believers choose for themselves was actually the best way.

As for Longze Water Mansion, Yang Fan did not move it for the time being.

After all, his current believers did not have the ability to live underwater.

However, given the current scale of Longze Water Mansion, under the blessing of the Hundredfold Evolution Talent, it could still bring Yang Fan nearly 800 million divinity points in income every month.

Even now, that could be considered a decent income.

And the real reason Yang Fan could support such a large-scale reduction of resource-type buildings was actually only one thing: Spirit Vein Star.

Currently, his divine kingdom's expenditures were skyrocketing exponentially.

Cultivating believers, developing technology, expanding legions, purchasing mechanical heart…

Each item required massive resources.

And the existence of those twenty-one Spirit Vein Star provided Yang Fan with a continuous supply of external resources.

It was precisely because of this that he could reform the structure of his divine kingdom so drastically.

When all was said and done, the large-scale construction of resource-type buildings in a divine kingdom was essentially for the purpose of earning divinity points.

And the purpose of earning divinity points was to Cultivate believers.

Now that he had resource stars as support, Yang Fan could naturally pour all resources into the development of his believers without any reservations.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, another month had passed.

During this period, Yang Da successively brought back ten divine kingdom core.

As these divine kingdom core were continuously absorbed, Yang Fan's divine kingdom area once again saw a massive surge.

[Divine Kingdom Area: 70 million square kilometers]

Of the twenty divine kingdom coordinates from before, Yang Fan had now destroyed eighteen.

Although he had encountered some resistance with the remaining two, with the continuous reinforcement of troops, breaking through them was only a matter of time.

…

Meanwhile.

On a life-bearing planet an immense distance away from Taichu City.

This place belonged to the territory ruled by the Rao Family.

Over ninety percent of the entire planet's industries, resources, and population flow were controlled by the Rao Family.

At this moment, deep within the Rao Family ancestral residence, a highly secretive Family meeting was being held.

The heavy metal doors slowly closed, and the entire space was instantly isolated by a Formation.

Not only could it not be probed, but even sound could not be transmitted out.

The lights in the conference hall were dim, with only streams of projected data flickering continuously.

"This month's tax revenue has increased by 5%, with a total income of approximately 100 billion divinity points."

"Sixty percent of that must be turned over to the Federal Government. Of the remaining portion, fifty percent must continue to be invested in the planet's operations."

A middle-aged man reported calmly.

"Continue to control population flow; immigration is prohibited."

"Additionally, welfare expenditures for the lowest-level Divine Being can continue to be compressed."

Hearing this, another elder nodded slowly.

"The tax is still too little. Since those Divine Being are under the protection of my Rao Family, they naturally need to contribute more effort."

Someone nearby chuckled.

"Have the Actuary prepare a new report and calculate the maximum endurance limit of these people."

"Taxation… must be pushed to the limit."

Everyone nodded upon hearing this.

It was as if they were not discussing living, breathing people at all, but a string of cold numbers.

Just then, someone spoke up suddenly.

"Family Head, the Greedy Wolf Mercenary Group that we have been secretly funding has run into some problems recently."

The Rao Family Head slowly looked up. "What happened?"

"A Human Race demigod had quite a few assets, so they made a move. However, it seems they were caught red-handed, and it has now been taken to the Federal Court. High-level officials are now coming to investigate."

"Who is in charge?"

"Someone from the Gu Family; it seems to be that Young Master."

Hearing this, the elder's previously slightly furrowed brows relaxed instead.

"Be cleaner in your actions in the future. As for that Young Master from the Gu Family… just smooth things over."

"The Federal Government has extracted so much tax from us; our massive Family must find some other way to survive."

Someone nearby hesitated and said, "If we continue like this… will there be a problem?"

The elder smiled faintly. "No matter. Most of the money we earn flows into the pockets of those above."

"If they really want to investigate, they will investigate others first."

"Business continues."

Just then. Bang!!!

The conference hall doors were suddenly slammed open, and a man rushed in with a face full of terror.

"Family Head! It's bad!"

"Young Master Rao Yu is dead!"

"The divine kingdom core has been seized! This is… this is the suicide note he left behind!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire conference hall fell silent instantly, and the expressions of many changed drastically.

But the Rao Family Head's expression remained calm.

He slowly took the suicide note and read it quietly.

After a moment, he raised his head.

His expression did not have the slightest fluctuation.

"From today on, the Rao Family does not have a person named Rao Yu."

"No one is allowed to mention him again."

After saying this, the elder threw the suicide note directly into the fire, burning it completely to ashes.

…

Meanwhile.

Two divine kingdom core were floating quietly within Yang Fan's divine kingdom.

After a full two months, those twenty invaders had finally all been eliminated by him.

One of the divine kingdom core was even as tall as a person.

The aura of the divine kingdom Origin it emitted was even stronger than that of the Black Armored Beetle Race demigod from before.

"Master, this is the divine kingdom core of that Human Race demigod." Yang Da reminded him.

"The strength is not weak, but it's a pity they ran into me." Yang Fan said indifferently.

Subsequently, Yang Fan began to absorb it directly.

As the two divine kingdom core merged into the divine kingdom.

Yang Fan's divine kingdom area surged again, increasing by a full 10 million square kilometers.

Now, he was only the final 20 million square kilometers away from a Breakthrough to godhood.
