Chapter 273: Elf Warrior

Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, another month passed.

This time at the Dark Web auction, the quantity of Earth Core Spirit Milk Source Nest increased significantly.

There were over six hundred of them.

To ensure sufficient funds, Yang Fan simply sold off all his remaining Spirit Vein Star, obtaining another 900 billion divinity points.

When the auction finally ended, he had successfully secured 523 Earth Core Spirit Milk Source Nest.

With this, the total number of Earth Core Spirit Milk Source Nest in Yang Fan's Divine Kingdom officially reached 679.

The monthly revenue from just the Earth Core Spirit Milk alone reached as high as 67.9 billion divinity points.

…

As a large number of Earth Core Spirit Milk Source Nest were placed, the environment of the entire Divine Kingdom underwent another transformation.

Countless dense Spiritual Qi surged from the ground, flowing between heaven and earth like rivers of Spiritual Qi.

These Spiritual Qi were then continuously absorbed by the Heavenly Court suspended above the firmament.

After conversion, it was transformed back into Immortal Qi of higher purity and sprinkled over the Divine Kingdom.

For a time, the Divine Kingdom was shrouded in immortal mist, with rosy clouds filling the sky.

Whether it was mountains, rivers, forests, or plains, the aura of life was dense to the extreme.

Looking around, the entire Divine Kingdom seemed to have turned into a super-large blessed land.

Even the most ordinary flowers, plants, and trees grew rapidly in this environment.

…

However, Yang Fan soon discovered a realistic problem.

The Dark Web was truly too good at devouring money; he had already sold all his Spirit Vein Star.

If such a scale of Earth Core Spirit Milk Source Nest appeared in the future, even he would only be able to purchase a portion.

Originally, he had always felt that he could be considered wealthy.

But only after truly coming into contact with the Dark Web did he realize that he had just stepped into that circle.

Out of curiosity, Yang Fan had specifically watched the complete transaction process of the Dark Web.

To ensure openness and transparency, all transaction prices were displayed in real-time.

And those prices refreshed his perception time and time again.

Resource-type buildings like the Earth Core Spirit Milk Source Nest were actually only at the bottom level among S-Rank Building.

The transaction prices of those special, top-tier S-Rank Building were often over 5 trillion or even 10 trillion divinity points.

Every price jump was enough to bankrupt a god.

As for higher-level SS-Rank buildings, with his current membership Rank, he didn't even have the qualifications to participate in the bidding.

The wealth he currently possessed could indeed be considered top-tier among demigods, but in the eyes of those truly powerful gods, it was perhaps just a drop of water in a river.

…

Thinking of this, Yang Fan couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

The more he came into contact with the truth of this world, the more he realized that the gap between gods was far more exaggerated than Mortals imagined.

They were all gods, yet some exhausted their entire lives just to struggle to manage a single life planet.

And some, with just a word, could mobilize resources worth trillions of divinity points and easily buy an entire life planet.

Take Luo Hai, the head of the Luo Family in Yang County, for example.

As a dignified Third-Order God, he was already an exalted existence in the county.

Yet Yang Fan had absolute certainty that if all of the other's Divine Kingdom assets were added together, they probably wouldn't even equal a fraction of his current wealth.

However, in the Dark Web, those existences who casually took out trillions of divinity points to bid were also gods, and some of them might not even have a higher Rank than Luo Hai.

Why was the wealth gap so huge? Yang Fan had once pondered this question.

At first, he thought wealth came from compound interest: buying more assets, earning more revenue, then buying more assets—a repeating cycle.

Later, after entering Taichu City and joining the Gu Family, he learned that there were special assets called resource stars outside the Divine Kingdom.

Then, after he became the master of Xiling Star, he understood another thing: taxes were the truly profitable business.

Those Divine Being worked hard to manage industries, invested desperately, and earned money desperately, while he, as the planet master, only needed to set the rules to extract profits from all transactions.

As for how much to extract, how to distribute, or whether to reinvest, it was all up to him.

Until this moment, Yang Fan gradually understood that what determined wealth was never strength itself, but one's position.

People standing at different levels see completely different worlds, and the ways of making money are naturally vastly different.

Some sources of wealth were things that even low-level Divine Being couldn't even imagine.

Sometimes, Yang Fan had to admit that he was indeed very lucky.

If he hadn't become a son-in-Law of the Gu Family and entered their core circle, he might never have known what this world was truly like.

Those resource stars, Divine Kingdom taxes, Dark Web transactions, divine Alliances… each one was far beyond the perception of ordinary people.

The Gu Family opened a door for him, allowing him to glimpse a corner of the very top layer of this world.

However, Yang Fan was never the type to be content with relying on others.

Since he was already standing at this level, what he had to do was to carve out his own legend in this vast world.

…

Just then, Yang Fan's expression suddenly shifted.

A special fluctuation came from the depths of his Divine Kingdom.

His consciousness instantly descended into the Divine Kingdom.

The next moment, his gaze fell directly on the huge Ancient Spirit Tree in the center of the Elf Kingdom.

"Has it finally started?" A hint of anticipation flashed in Yang Fan's eyes.

Even with the Hundredfold Evolution Talent, he was ultimately too young.

The total time his Divine Kingdom had developed was far from reaching a million years.

However, the environment of his Divine Kingdom had long surpassed those of the same Rank.

Under the combined effect of a large number of Earth Core Spirit Milk Source Nest, the Heavenly Court, the Immortal Qi system, and various life-type buildings, the aura of life in the entire Divine Kingdom was shockingly dense.

It was precisely because of this that this Adult Elf Ancient Spirit Tree finally ushered in its moment of transformation.

Boom—

Accompanied by a low roar, the Ancient Spirit Tree began to grow crazily.

The thick trunk continued to rise, and countless branches extended in all directions.

The aura of life filling the sky seemed to be summoned, gathering from all parts of the Divine Kingdom, turning into a green torrent that continuously poured into the ancient tree.

The canopy expanded rapidly: ten miles, a hundred miles, a thousand miles!

In just a short moment, the sky over the entire Elf Kingdom was covered by the huge canopy.

Countless Adult Elf knelt on the ground, piously kowtowing in the direction of the ancient tree.

They could feel that the true sacred object of the Elf Race was about to be born.

Hum—

Accompanied by a low hum that seemed to come from ancient times, countless golden patterns began to appear on the surface of the ancient tree, like flowing Laws of life.

The originally emerald green leaves were also gradually tinged with a faint golden glow.

Looking from afar, it was as if countless leaves made of gold were hanging on the branches.

At this moment, the Ancient Spirit Tree officially transformed.

The Holy Elf Tree appeared!

And the changes did not stop there.

As the Holy Elf Tree was born, a huge wave of life force swept across the entire Divine Kingdom.

All Adult Elf simultaneously let out a low moan, a mix of pain and excitement.

Their life Rank began to leap collectively.

Their originally slender ears lengthened further, faint golden patterns appeared on the edges, and their eyes became brighter.

The weapons in their hands, those longbows originally made of Ancient Spirit Wood, began to evolve automatically.

A large number of complex patterns appeared on the bow bodies—some with vines entwined, some with moonlight flowing.

Countless elves completed their transformation simultaneously, officially promoting to Elf Warrior.
