Chapter 229: Something Else Added

Yang Fan gently held Gu Le, sighing silently in his heart.

Sometimes, effort is indeed important.

But choosing the right path is even more important.

At least.

This "soft rice"… is indeed quite fragrant.

After coaxing Gu Le, Yang Fan's consciousness quickly entered the Divine Kingdom.

Just after entering, he took out the crystal card that Uncle Gu Ming had given him.

His Divine Thought swept over it, seeing the string of numbers inside.

Even Yang Fan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

"20 billion divinity points."

"Worthy of being the umbrella behind the scenes, so generous."

Subsequently, Yang Fan looked at the Divine Kingdom's information.

"Believers: Foundation Establishment Realm (220,000), Martial Master (450,000), Qi Refining Realm (500 million), Martial Apprentice Realm (800 million), Second-class Intelligent Life (150,000), First-class Intelligent Life (140 million), Tier 5 Being (30 billion)… Mortal (60 billion)"

During the time Yang Fan had been away.

Inside the Divine Kingdom, nearly three thousand years had passed again.

Now, the total population was approaching 100 billion.

Looking at the data before him, even Yang Fan couldn't help but feel some emotion.

Because of the existence of the War God Record, the entire internal layout of the Divine Kingdom had completely changed.

The Immortal Alliance used to dominate.

Now, the Wanxiang Martial Court had completely risen.

Martial Arts civilization was expanding aggressively, almost completely suppressing the Immortal Alliance and the Mechanical Civilization.

In this regard, Yang Da was also constantly adjusting resource allocation.

Madly tilting towards the cultivation route and the Mechanical Route.

Unfortunately, no matter how many ordinary resources there were, they ultimately couldn't compare to a supreme treasure like the War God Record, and the effect remained limited.

Yang Fan was not in a hurry, though.

At least with the Martial Arts route as the mainstream.

In future Divine Kingdom Wars, they would possess powerful Physical Body and defensive capabilities, making them safer instead.

Now, the entire Divine Kingdom was full of vitality.

Under the planning of Yang Yi and Yang Da, the three major power regions had expanded by four or five times compared to the past.

Many of the old cities had long been torn down and rebuilt.

Some were new cities purchased from the Mall.

Others were built entirely by the believers themselves.

The Immortal Alliance had suspended mountains and countless immortal cities.

The Wanxiang Martial Court had continuous giant cities, with Martial Arts Holy Land spread all over the world.

The Mechanical Civilization had formed a steel city cluster covering millions of square kilometers.

As the civilization continued to Evolution, even though Yang Fan had never deliberately guided it.

More and more special professions were born within the Divine Kingdom.

Besides Alchemist and Blacksmith.

There also appeared: Spirit Plant cultivators, Array Pattern Architects, Architects, Exotic Beast Breeders, Ecological Planners…

The number of these professions was far inferior to Alchemist and Blacksmith.

But the changes they brought were no less significant.

Civilization was never built solely by combat professions.

Thinking of this, Yang Fan began to re-plan the future in his heart.

Now, the Divine Kingdom's area was close to 100 million square kilometers.

If he were willing to continue purchasing coordinates and madly devour the divine kingdom core.

With his current military strength, fighting on multiple fronts.

In at most two months, he would be able to break through to become a deity.

But Yang Fan was not in a hurry.

Because once he broke through, it meant leaving the Primordial Academy.

And before leaving, the wool that should be sheared must naturally be sheared clean.

There were three most important resources in the Primordial Academy.

Taichu Academy, Taichu Battlefield, and the Alien Divine Kingdom Zone.

First was the Taichu Academy; after more than a year of sparing no cost in investment, the Divine Kingdom's Alchemy and Blacksmith systems were already mature.

Various Legacy were gradually forming, so even if he left Taichu City in the future.

Relying on the believers' own research, they could still continuously evolve new Pill Formula and higher-quality Medicinal Pill.

For the current Divine Kingdom, the Taichu Academy had gradually become dispensable.

Next was the Taichu Battlefield.

Thinking of this, Yang Fan couldn't help but smile.

He currently only had the reward for ranking in the top million.

The rewards for the top 100,000, top 10,000, and even the top 100 hadn't been claimed yet.

Finally, there was the Alien Divine Kingdom Zone.

That was the place where the Primordial Academy specifically kept Alien Demi-god.

Gu Le had once warned him that it was extremely dangerous there.

Alien Demi-god were extremely powerful.

Moreover, the rules were strict; it could only be one-on-one, and outsiders could not interfere.

Many Human Race Prodigy had even failed there.

But similarly, danger meant reward.

The internal resources of the Alien Demi-gods' Alien God-Kingdom in the Alien Divine Kingdom Zone were extremely rich, and it was even highly possible that S-Rank Building existed there.

Thinking of this, Yang Fan's eyes gradually became firm.

However, there was no rush for all of this.

Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit.

Wait for the Divine Kingdom to evolve for another ten thousand years, and the believers would enter a Bottleneck, reaching the limit allowed by the current Divine Kingdom rules.

That would be the time for the real harvest.

Thinking of this, Yang Fan spoke slowly:

"Yang Da."

"Next, develop the believers with full strength."

"Increase investment in the Mechanical Civilization and the cultivation civilization."

"Use excess funds to purchase growth buildings like the f-class transformation pod."

"Make full use of every bit of resources."

Yang Da immediately lowered his head, "Understood, Master."

The entire Divine Kingdom began to operate at high speed once again.

Yang Fan's consciousness returned to reality.

The following days returned to peace once again.

Reading, studying, observing the development of the Divine Kingdom daily, and feeling his body getting stronger.

It felt like returning to the state when he first entered the Primordial Academy.

But unlike the past.

Now, Yang Fan clearly felt that his life was much easier.

The Divine Kingdom was developing at high speed, and believers were growing crazily.

He could feel the changes in his own strength almost every day.

That kind of becoming stronger was no longer a sudden leap after some Opportunity.

But a continuous, visible improvement.

Apart from studying and Cultivate.

He spent almost all his remaining time with Gu Le.

There was no other way; being kept by this rich woman was simply too comfortable.

The investments Gu Le's parents had given him were already an unimaginable number.

Since that was the case, it was only right to provide this Young Miss of the Gu Family with enough emotional value.

People should know their own limitations; Yang Fan would never forget himself just because he had achieved a little success now.

Especially after experiencing the Xiling Star incident, he became increasingly clear that compared to a behemoth like the Gu Family.

He was probably no different from an ant right now.

Asserting husband's authority? That didn't exist.

With such a beautiful, wealthy, and well-connected rich woman, Yang Fan wished he could pamper her every day, afraid of missing anything.

However, gradually, Yang Fan discovered.

He didn't know when it started, but he had become accustomed to having someone waiting for him to eat.

Accustomed to having someone talk to him about trivial matters.

And also accustomed to that sense of life outside the Divine Kingdom.

It seemed that on the road to becoming stronger, there was finally something else added.

…

One month later, Virtual World.

Yang Fan arrived at the meeting place as agreed.

President Ma had already been waiting for a long time.

"Boss, Xiling Star has been completely taken over."

"Currently, the overall operation is stable."

Yang Fan nodded, "How is the situation?"

Speaking of this, President Ma couldn't help but spit, obviously speechless.

"Boss, what exactly were those previous managers doing?"

"I only found out after taking over that the taxes on Xiling Star were outrageously high."

"It even far exceeded the average level of most life planets."

"So I directly cut the taxes by 50%."

The more President Ma talked, the more speechless he became.

"Those demi-gods were almost all about to run away."

"If we keep squeezing them, I guess nobody will pay taxes in the future."

"According to historical records."

"Under normal circumstances, Xiling Star's monthly tax revenue would never be lower than 200 billion divinity points."

"As a result, now, we can't even collect 100 billion."
