Chapter 298: world tree

Yang Fan heard this and couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, Father."

As his voice trailed off, his consciousness slowly withdrew from the Virtual World.

When he opened his eyes again, he had already returned to reality.

The room was very quiet, with Gu Le holding Gu Chengye as she sat to one side.

The little guy had fallen asleep at some point, his chubby little hand gripping the corner of Gu Le's clothes, with a trace of glistening drool hanging from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing Yang Fan wake up, Gu Le immediately leaned over.

"Husband, did Father arrange everything for you over there?" she asked softly.

As a direct descendant of the Gu Family, she knew very well.

Once one Breakthrough to become a god, one must serve on the front lines for ten years according to federal Law.

And the unspoken rules of the front lines were things she had long heard about from the elders in her family.

Yang Fan reached out and ruffled her hair, his tone calm.

"Everything has been arranged."

"When I arrive at the front line, I will serve under Brigade Commander Gu Jiuheng, so you don't need to worry."

Hearing this, Gu Le felt a slight relief in her heart.

For Yang Fan, as long as he followed Third Elder Gu Xuanting's arrangements, this decade would likely just be a formality to gild his resume, and the risks were almost negligible.

Thinking of this, Gu Le didn't ask any more questions.

She nodded gently, then as if suddenly remembering something, she whispered:

"Then… let's celebrate Husband's Breakthrough tonight."

She snapped her fingers, letting the robot nanny carry Gu Chengye to the guest room next door.

The room quickly quieted down.

The night grew deeper, and the lights outside the window swayed slightly.

The newly ascended god's Aura surged, stepping half a pace beyond the sea of clouds. Gu Le, a demigod, felt her heart waver, and a single "Husband" was enough to make her "beg for mercy".

A moment ago they were talking about the front lines; the next, her heart was already in turmoil.

Only a soft whisper remained: "Stop it…"

Gu Le fell into a deep sleep, her breathing even.

Yang Fan glanced at her, then sat cross-legged and sank his consciousness into his Divine Kingdom.

…

Within the Divine Kingdom, in just a short time, the scene had already changed completely.

With the help of the Gu Family's internal channels, Yang Fan no longer needed to purchase resources individually from shops in Taichu City via Feixun.

Led by Yang Da's coordination, the Gu Family's internal resources were loaded directly into the Divine Kingdom.

In a short period, a large number of Spiritual Veins were rapidly deployed into various areas of the Divine Kingdom.

Today, in the Divine Kingdom, the total number of Spiritual Veins has reached as high as 40 million, capable of stably producing about 400 billion Divinity Points per month.

If this income were placed among ordinary gods, it would already be considered terrifying.

But for Yang Fan, it could only be considered routine cash flow.

Whether it was the earth heart milk source nest or the profits brought by the enlightenment ancient tree, both were far above it.

And Yang Da's true purpose in purchasing a large number of Spiritual Veins was not for profit, but to restore the environment of the Divine Kingdom.

The Divine Kingdom had expanded a hundredfold after the Breakthrough to godhood.

The originally nearly liquefied Immortal Spiritual Qi, after suddenly being diluted, appeared far too thin.

The efficiency with which the believers Cultivate also dropped by a significant margin.

For a Divine Kingdom civilization already accustomed to a "high-Qi environment," this was a noticeable disparity.

Compared to other low-level gods, Yang Fan's Divine Kingdom environment could already be called luxurious.

But the problem was—that was only "relatively speaking".

To his believers, this was an unacceptable "downgrade".

Yang Da laying down a large number of Spiritual Veins now was just a transitional plan.

The real plan was to continue purchasing earth heart milk source nests via the Dark Web in the future, gradually replacing the Spiritual Veins.

To let the entire Divine Kingdom return to that state comparable to a transformation chamber.

At this moment, in the great hall.

As soon as Yang Fan descended, the consciousnesses of Yang Da, Yang Yi, and other Intelligent Life, as well as Ling Xuzi, manifested simultaneously.

Everyone knelt down in unison.

"Greetings, Master."

The voices were uniform, without a hint of hesitation.

Yang Fan nodded slightly, his figure already appearing on the throne.

"What were the gains from this battle?"

Yang Da immediately stepped forward and reported respectfully.

"Reporting to Master, everything has been tallied."

"The Vajra King Monkey Divine Kingdom's legacy is as follows—"

"SS-Rank war buildings: None."

"S-Rank Buildings: 5 Great Void Warships, 5 mechanical battle puppets, and 55 earth heart milk source nests."

"There are also two other S-Rank Buildings, [Void Smelting Tower] and [Beast Soul Evolution Furnace], which have poor compatibility with the Human Race system."

"It is not recommended to keep either; they have been marked as assets for sale on the Dark Web."

Hearing this, Yang Yi stepped forward to add:

"There are a total of one million A-Rank Spiritual Veins and millions of various A-Rank buildings, which have already undergone initial classification."

"Those compatible with the Divine Kingdom system have been loaded directly, while the rest have been bundled into the Mall's sales list."

"In addition, there are a large number of B-Rank and C-Rank defensive buildings, as well as Spirit Plants, Spiritual Plants, Spirit Stones, and other resources."

"The useful parts have been placed in the Divine Kingdom warehouse, and the rest are all listed in the Mall awaiting liquidation."

Yang Fan listened quietly, nodding slightly.

The harvest from this battle was far richer than he had anticipated.

A demigod Divine Kingdom in a Tier 3 area was certainly not ordinary stuff.

Many of the resources within likely originated from fallen Geniuses of the Human Race.

Now, after twisting and turning, they had all fallen into his hands instead.

Yang Fan's eyes flickered slightly.

He suddenly remembered what Third Elder Gu Xuanting had said.

"Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp."

If one day his own strength was insufficient…

His wealth might also become someone else's dowry.

Thinking of this, Yang Fan's eyes became even deeper.

"Master, the most valuable item in this Vajra King Monkey Divine Kingdom is that life-type S-Rank Building!"

Speaking of this, Yang Da raised his right hand.

A huge light screen appeared in the center of the hall.

[world tree, S-Rank Building, Price: 100 billion Divinity Points]

[Introduction: A special life wonder evolved from the Secret Realm, containing complete life Law, capable of autonomously absorbing heaven and earth energy to grow; it is an extremely rare comprehensive Divine Kingdom building.]

[Effect 1: Life Nourishment, significantly improves the Divine Kingdom environment, increases Spiritual Qi activity, and greatly boosts the Cultivation speed of wood-attribute Cultivation believers.]

[Effect 2: Myriad Vine Protection, the world tree can derive countless war vines; the vines can autonomously attack, entangle, and bind enemy units, possessing immense strategic value in Divine Kingdom defensive battles.]

[Effect 3: Life Domain, within the area covered by the world tree, the recovery ability of all friendly believers is greatly enhanced, injury recovery speed is increased, and vitality is continuously strengthened.]

[Effect 4: Natural Breeding, within a certain range of the world tree, life breeding efficiency is increased.]

…

[Evaluation: A comprehensive Divine Kingdom strategic building integrating offense, defense, recovery, and development. Although not adept at direct destruction, it possesses extremely strong sustainable development capabilities and is of extremely high value.]

Looking at the introduction of the world tree, Yang Fan immediately understood the source of those sky-covering vines from before.

During the Divine Kingdom War, it was precisely these seemingly inconspicuous vines that had forcefully dragged down the advance of a large number of mechanical battle puppets.

Based on this alone, its value far exceeded the vast majority of S-Rank defensive buildings.

"Another building comparable to the Eternal Corpse Mine, good stuff!"

Yang Fan couldn't help but exclaim.
