Chapter 315: Leveraging Power

Li Tianheng sighed, and the private room fell briefly silent.

The destruction of a deity's Physical Body inherently represents being weaker in strength than the enemy.

So much time has passed, the possibility of survival is extremely low.

This is the cruelty of the Frontline; even deities can die at any moment.

Li Tianheng continued speaking:

"After Teacher Cao passed away, I was assigned to the production base."

"Later, the Li Family Restaurant was recruiting helpers, and the Old Ancestor discovered that I had a Bloodline aura, so he brought me in."

"At that time, I was only a Divine Being, not even qualified to be a waiter in the restaurant."

"It was only under the Old Ancestor's resource supply that I managed to Breakthrough to a demigod."

Saying this, a trace of awkwardness appeared on his face.

"However, later the Old Ancestor found me clumsy and unable to speak well, so he kicked me out and told me to make a living on my own."

"Believers need to eat and Cultivate, but I didn't have many resource buildings in my Divine Kingdom, so I could only figure out ways to make money myself."

He spread his hands.

"You've seen everything that happened afterward."

Li Tianheng's tone at this moment was very calm.

The grudges between people are often not complicated in essence.

When strengths are similar, there will be defiance, competition, and the desire to prove oneself.

But when the gap widens to an untouchable level, those emotions will instead lose their fulcrum.

Whether it's anger or unwillingness, they will slowly lose meaning.

Replaced by a more realistic judgment——

Can I still catch up?

Can I borrow a bit of light?

Even, as long as the other party was willing to look at him, those so-called past prides were no longer important.

Li Tianheng at this moment was just like this.

When he looked up at Yang Fan again, those past unwillingness and competitions had quietly dissipated.

What remained was only a realistic understanding after years of struggling on the Frontline.

And a trace of a thought that even he was unwilling to admit——

Perhaps, he could use Yang Fan's momentum to live a little more easily in this place where people are eaten without even spitting out their bones.

Yang Fan looked at Li Tianheng and asked casually,

"Do you want to sign a Subordinate God Contract with me?"

Li Tianheng was stunned for a moment, a trace of embarrassment appearing on his face, and he scratched his head and said:

"Um… I owe external debts of 100,000 Divinity Points. I wonder how the reward for a Divine Kingdom War is?"

As soon as his voice fell, Yang Fan had already reached out and pressed his finger between his eyebrows.

A wisp of Divine Thought fell, and the next instant, 100,000 Divinity Points were directly transferred into Li Tianheng's Divine Kingdom.

"You…"

Li Tianheng's pupils shrank violently, and he looked at Yang Fan in disbelief.

The contract hasn't even been signed yet, and the other party wired the money over first?

At this moment, the little bit of displeasure and estrangement originally remaining in his heart was instantly washed away completely.

100,000 Divinity Points, converted into Faith Points, was a full 100 trillion.

Placed in a small place like Yang County, all the liquid funds of the Li Family added together were probably around this much.

What did those old grievances from back then count for?

It was just being scammed once when he was young, making him hold out a bit longer in front of the demonic monkey's pursuers.

It was just losing a few million low-tier believers.

Could this count as any big deal?

Li Tianheng stood up abruptly, his expression solemn.

"Brother Yang, from now on this life of mine is yours! Wherever you point, I will fight!"

Ever since Li Tianheng broke through to a demigod, his Divine Kingdom area skyrocketed.

In order to enhance believers' combat power and expand the Divine Kingdom's industries, he impulsively took out loans.

The monthly interest rate of the loan was as high as 10%, which had pressed him so much that he could barely breathe recently.

Now that these 100,000 Divinity Points had arrived, his only thought was to immediately pay off all his debts.

Those financial companies were more ruthless than the other, eating people without spitting out bones.

From now on, he would never do any leverage to invest in the Divine Kingdom again.

Looking at Li Tianheng's posture of "recognizing a master on the spot", Yang Fan was still a bit unaccustomed to it for a moment.

He shook his head and said faintly:

"Treat this sum of money as compensation for what happened back then, not the employment fee for the Subordinate God Contract."

"If you are willing to be my agent, for every Divine Kingdom War, I can give you an extra 100,000 Divinity Points as a subsidy."

100,000 Divinity Points, for the current Yang Fan, was merely a drop in the bucket.

Since they were old acquaintances and he happened to have the ability, he didn't mind lending a hand to pull the other person along.

Hearing this, Li Tianheng's eyes lit up, and then he blurted out:

"Brother Yang… no, Adoptive Father! From now on, whatever you say goes, I will definitely follow your lead and be utterly loyal!"

This scene made Yang Fan pause slightly.

Back at Yang County No. 1 Middle School, that high-spirited Genius had now turned into such a posture.

Making it hard for one to tell for a moment whether reality was too heavy or human hearts were too light.

He couldn't help thinking of his close friend Zhang Pang.

Back then when he was recruited as a son-in-law by the Luo Family, the other party was also in this exact appearance.

The times were changing, and people were changing too.

But the underlying color of the human heart never truly changed——seeking advantage and avoiding harm, dwelling where the strong reside.

At this moment, Li Tianheng rubbed his hands, his expression somewhat restrained, yet carrying a bit of carefulness:

"Um Brother Yang, although my believers are not weak, you cannot completely ignore the Divine Kingdom War."

"Without deities supporting war supplies in the rear, no matter how strong I am, I won't be able to hold out against the opposite side."

Yang Fan glanced at him and said in a calm tone:

"What are you thinking? You're my high school classmate, not a tool person."

"We are friends, how could I harm you."

Li Tianheng was startled, then smiled bitterly: "Isn't this once bitten by a snake, twice shy."

As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized something was wrong, quickly covered his mouth, and his face flushed red.

Yang Fan couldn't help laughing out loud: "You really aren't suited to working in the restaurant. Manager Li letting you leave was right."

The guests coming and going at the Li Family Restaurant were either people with deep backgrounds or powerfully strong deities.

With his straightforward personality, if he wasn't careful, he wouldn't even know how he died after offending someone.

Yang Fan stood up, "Follow me."

Li Tianheng was stunned for half a second, then quickly stored the unfinished food on the table into his Divine Kingdom, and hurriedly followed.

Inside the first-floor lobby of the restaurant, Li Fengzhu took the initiative to speak:

"Young Master Yang, there has been much offense today. This meal will be my treat, please feel free to come often in the future."

As his words fell, his posture was put extremely low, even carrying a trace of ingratiating meaning.

Yang Fan, however, merely waved his hand gently.

"No need. Manager Li doesn't have an easy time doing business, and you are also my friend's Old Ancestor, how could I take advantage of you like this."

Saying that, his fingertips moved slightly, and a wisp of divinity fluctuation fell, directly transferring the Divinity Points over.

The action was crisp and neat, without a trace of hesitation.

"Right, Manager Li."

Yang Fan suddenly raised his eyes, his tone calm, but carrying a faint, undeniable sense of oppression.

"Li Tianheng will be my Subordinate God from now on."

"Next time he comes to the restaurant to consume, directly arrange a top-floor private booth for him, and just charge the expenses to my account."

Li Fengzhu's heart gave a start, and he nodded hastily.

"Understood, Young Master Yang can rest assured!"

"For Tianheng to be able to become your Subordinate God is his Opportunity."

"From now on in my restaurant, he is likewise the most noble guest!"
