Chapter 241: Good Steel Must Be Used on the Blade’s Edge

Afterward, Yang Fan looked toward the Elf Kingdom.

Since loading the Celestial Court, the aura of life had become much richer, and the growth speed of the Ancient Spirit Tree had increased significantly.

Yang Fan could feel that perhaps it wouldn't be long.

The Ancient Spirit Tree would be able to grow into a true Holy Spirit Tree.

By then, Elf warriors comparable to the Foundation Establishment Peak would be born within the God-Kingdom.

And located in the center of the God-Kingdom, the area of the Trading City had already exceeded 100,000 square kilometers.

It gathered resources from the entire God-Kingdom.

Magical Artifacts, Medicinal Pills, Ores, Mechanical parts, Spirit Medicines, and Materials.

Massive amounts of resources circulated every day.

The four major forces each dispatched 10,000 elite soldiers to guard it.

No one was allowed to fight in the Trading City.

The overall structure of the God-Kingdom had not changed.

But its overall strength had already undergone a qualitative change.

"Foundation Establishment Realm (7 million)."

"Martial Master Realm (9 million)."

"Second-class Intelligent Life (4 million)."

Today, the high-end combat power of Yang Fan's God-Kingdom had officially exceeded 20 million.

…

Looking at the thriving God-Kingdom, Yang Fan suddenly felt it was time to wage war.

The God-Kingdom needed development, accumulation, and to conserve its strength.

But it also needed war.

Because being too comfortable would make a civilization lose its sense of crisis and its enterprising spirit.

Without enemies, they would not strive desperately to Cultivate.

Without death, they would not cherish the opportunity to become stronger.

And war could precisely bring pressure, cohesion, and true growth.

These knowledge were all things Yang Fan had learned from books.

Some timid gods dared not participate in real Divine Kingdom Wars, but they would still seek out trusted individuals of similar strength to conduct real war sparring.

Letting believers face death and failure.

Then letting them reproduce, grow, and become stronger.

Everything was for the development of the God-Kingdom.

"Yang Da." Yang Fan spoke softly.

The next moment, Yang Da, who had been in the palace, immediately pushed away a Foundation Establishment female cultivator beside him.

He pulled up his pants, and his figure instantly disappeared.

"Greetings, Master." Yang Da bowed respectfully.

"Notify all forces to begin preparing for war," Yang Fan said slowly.

Hearing this, Yang Da's eyes instantly lit up.

"Yes! Master!"

Yang Fan's God-Kingdom already had resources that were abundant to the extreme; there was no need to save money or calculate costs.

There was only one principle for cultivating believers.

That was to maximize their needs.

In this situation, the development of the God-Kingdom became simple instead.

And as the highest intelligent life, Yang Da even felt he was almost bored to tears.

In his opinion, his God-Kingdom's combat power was definitely top-tier at the Demi-god stage.

They should have gone to an Alien God-Kingdom to fight a hard battle and show off their power long ago!

"How is Ling Xuzi's God-Kingdom developing?" Yang Fan suddenly asked.

Yang Da immediately replied, "Replying to Master, with our resource support, her God-Kingdom has returned to normal."

"The Qi Refining Stage Void Spirit Race has already exceeded 10,000."

Yang Fan nodded slowly, "Notify her that this war requires her to provide war information."

"Yes." Yang Da immediately agreed.

Yang Fan had already investigated clearly that cooperation was prohibited in the Primordial Academy's Alien Divine Kingdom Zone.

But Subordinate Gods were an exception.

Because Subordinate Gods were inherently part of the main god's combat power.

Although Yang Fan had confidence in his own strength.

But this was, after all, a Divine Kingdom War; any contempt or carelessness could lead to heavy losses.

Caution would never be wrong.

Returning to reality, Yang Fan did not notify Gu Le and left his residence alone, heading to the Alien Divine Kingdom Zone.

In fact, entering the Alien Divine Kingdom Zone as a sophomore was, in the eyes of the vast majority, definitely a stupid act.

Even if Yang Fan was evaluated as a peerless prodigy, this remained the case.

Because no one thought his strength was insufficient.

They just felt it was too rushed.

Which of the Demi-gods in the Alien Divine Kingdom Zone wasn't filthy rich?

Most students would wait until their senior year, bet everything on their last two chances, pull off a big job, and then graduate.

Even those confident peerless prodigies usually wouldn't start trying until the second semester of their junior year.

Someone like Yang Fan definitely belonged to the minority.

But Yang Fan couldn't be bothered to explain.

After all, his God-Kingdom talent was top secret.

If calculated according to God-Kingdom time, his actual development time was already equivalent to the past forty or fifty university lives.

For the current Yang Fan.

The God-Kingdom's combat power had been pushed to the limit; continuing to develop behind closed doors, the returns had already begun to decline.

Compared to continuing to wait, he wanted to obtain the resources within the Alien Demi-gods' God-Kingdoms as soon as possible.

Especially those S-Rank Buildings.

The earlier they were obtained, the higher the God-Kingdom's returns.

…

The Alien Divine Kingdom Zone was completely different from other areas of Taichu City.

It appeared much quieter here.

On the wide streets, there were not many pedestrians coming and going.

But Yang Fan only glanced at it and discovered that the Human Race Demi-gods here were clearly stronger.

To him, many of them felt stronger than Sima Bang.

Just then, someone discovered Yang Fan.

The next moment, many people lowered their heads one after another.

"Greetings, young lord."

"Greetings, young lord."

Yang Fan didn't even bother to pause and continued forward.

In fact, these people did not know him.

But the Primordial Academy's identity key would not lie.

The moment they saw Yang Fan, the key had already given a warning.

[peerless prodigy]

These four simple words were enough to explain a lot.

Although they were already seniors, their ratings were too low, and many were even just Grade A or Grade B.

Facing such an existence, they didn't even dare to look up.

And Yang Fan was already used to these salutes.

Since being evaluated as a peerless prodigy, this kind of thing always happened whenever he went out.

…

Continuing forward, Yang Fan soon saw the true core of the Alien Divine Kingdom Zone.

There was no complex of buildings here as he had imagined.

On both sides of the road, huge silvery-white devices were neatly arranged.

The whole thing looked like a sealed metal cabin, with no gaps on the surface, full of a sense of technology.

And directly in front of the device, a transparent screen was suspended, with countless data flickering constantly.

A student reached out and gently swiped across the screen.

The next moment, a large amount of blue data stream flew out instantly and directly entered the center of his eyebrows.

At the same time, the other party's intelligent life began to synchronize and analyze the information.

Yang Fan also came to a silver-white device and his gaze fell on the screen.

The next moment, a large amount of information scrolled crazily.

Normal people needed the assistance of intelligent life.

But Yang Fan was different, because of the long-term feedback from Mechanical Civilization.

He was enough to process this information himself.

[Region Rank: First-class Region]

[God-Kingdom Coordinates: LX—β]

[Alien Race: Black Bone Race]

[Demi-god Age: 242 years old]

[Known Special Buildings:]

[A-Rank Building: Black Tide Blood Pool]

[A-Rank Building: Bone Splitting Altar]

[A-Rank Building: Corroded Steel Mine]

[A-Rank Building: War Incubation Nest]

[A-Rank Building: Heavy Pressure Cultivation Field]

…

[A-Rank Spiritual Vein X100]

[Known God-Kingdom Area: 60 million square kilometers]

[Known Combat Record: Frontline has confirmed the killing of 10 Human Race Demi-gods]

[Danger Assessment: Relatively High]

Seeing this information, Yang Fan did not stay and continued forward.

"As expected of the Primordial Academy," Yang Fan thought to himself.

If this kind of strength were placed in the Mall, it would probably already belong to a high-risk coordinate.

However, he had no interest.

The reason was simple: there were no S-Rank Buildings.

Nowadays, ordinary A-Rank Buildings did not have much attraction for Yang Fan.

With his current financial resources, many A-Rank Buildings could be purchased directly.

What he really lacked were S-Rank Buildings.

Especially those high-value buildings that could affect the entire God-Kingdom environment, change the believers' Cultivation system, and even promote civilization transition.

The Alien Demi-god's assets just now were indeed quite substantial, but their value was limited.

He only had two chances.

Good steel naturally must be used on the blade's edge.
