Chapter 35: Sooner or Later, I’ll Fall Out of Favor

If Zhan Yunxiao knew how Yang Fan evaluated him, he would probably be so angry he would start cursing.

For an ordinary person to reach the demigod realm step by step through their own efforts without resorting to these crooked paths, how could it even be possible?

His potential might be exhausted, but out of ten thousand ordinary people like him, could even one demigod emerge?

The experience Zhan Yunxiao taught Yang Fan was also genuinely for his own good; after all, the pros and cons were clearly identified.

As fellow ordinary people, there was naturally a sense of mutual sympathy.

It was just a pity that Yang Fan had the SSS-rank Talent and simply could not feel the other party's good intentions.

"Zhan Yunxiao's methods are all too extreme. With the Evolution Talent, there's no need to take such a path. It was a waste of time to read it."

Yang Fan muttered, his consciousness entering the Divine Kingdom once again. At this moment, he discovered that his Faith Points had reached 193.22 million.

The 50 million loan from the Luo Family had also arrived.

Opening the shop, Yang Fan first purchased fourteen adult Taisui. He threw ten of them directly into the bailing blood pool, and placed the other five beside the five major cities as fixed channels for providing flesh and blood.

This cost 28 million Faith Points.

To round off the numbers, Yang Fan purchased 193 moon wells and sun springs each, spending 115.8 million directly.

The moon wells and sun springs were long-term fixed investments Yang Fan planned to make; he was not prepared to cut corners on this.

As the number of these two buildings in the Divine Kingdom increased, coupled with the Evolution Talent, the probability of his buildings mutating into a fountain of life was naturally ten times higher than anyone else's.

Most importantly, he didn't need to worry about this investment, allowing him to devote himself entirely to improving the strength of his believers and the ecological development of the Divine Kingdom.

Afterwards, Yang Fan purchased the C-rank technique, the Muscle and Tendon Strengthening and Marrow Cleansing Technique, spending 2 million Faith Points.

In an instant, Yang Fan's Faith Points dropped to 47.42 million.

After investing all the resources into the Divine Kingdom, Yang Fan issued a Divine Oracle.

"My believers, to reward you for your outstanding performance in the war against the alien races, I have specially bestowed a miracle. Beside every major city, there is an adult Taisui."

"Outside the Divine Enlightenment City, there is a bailing blood pool. Every thirty years, it can produce ten thousand blood pills. Only the strong are worthy of consuming them; these pills can significantly improve physical fitness."

"This technique is called the Muscle and Tendon Strengthening and Marrow Cleansing Technique. When practiced in conjunction with the Federal Body Refining Technique, it can rapidly improve your strength."

As the Divine Oracle descended, the faces of the believers in each major city showed expressions of fanaticism.

God Lord: Yang Fan. Divine Kingdom Area: 1 million square kilometers. Talent: F-rank Resource Talent (All resources in the Divine Kingdom grow 10% faster). SSS-rank Talent Evolution (Unique talent, can accelerate the Evolution of the Divine Kingdom, already hidden.). Believers: First-order beings (5), Mortals (70,000). Techniques: Federal Body Refining Technique, Muscle and Tendon Strengthening and Marrow Cleansing Technique, Myriad Spirits Return to Origin Array (Minor Success). Faith Points: 47.42 million (Provides 3.7 Faith Points daily). Buildings: moon well X400, sun spring X400, B-rank building bailing blood pool X1. Assets: Bodhi Treasure Snake (X78777, Level 1 monster) … Taisui X15, water lotus (X21000, F-rank spirit plant), soul nourishing wood (100 years) (X1000, C-rank spirit plant), hundred spirit peach (X35711, C-rank spirit plant).

Yang Fan's face revealed a look of satisfaction: "Now, under the effect of the Evolution Talent, the moon wells and sun springs can provide 24 million Faith Points of income every month. With the Taisui's support, the bailing blood pool can provide 10 million Faith Points of income. Added to the various monster and spirit plant assets, my actual monthly income is over 35 million. However, since the blood pills are to be used to cultivate believers, there's no need to sell them."

Yang Fan had already made a decision in his heart: all blood pills would be invested into his own Divine Kingdom to strengthen his believers, while the earnings from the moonlight dew and yang essence could be used for further investment in the Divine Kingdom or to purchase other resources to enrich it.

There were still many Faith Points remaining, and Yang Fan was not in a rush to spend them for the time being.

Now that he had enough Faith Points, he wanted to take advantage of this time to browse the shop properly, research things he couldn't afford before, or exchange experiences with his classmates to see if there were any buildings or spirit plants more suitable for him.

Faith Points could never be earned in full; he still needed to keep some safety funds for himself. Moreover, he now had a wife suffering from a terminal illness who also needed money every month to purchase the water of life.

After finishing all this, Yang Fan looked at the beautiful woman lying on the bed. Feeling somewhat exhausted, he went straight to bed, held her in his arms, and drifted into dreamland.

Early the next morning, Yang Fan entered the Divine Kingdom to check on things.

With the support of the Muscle and Tendon Strengthening and Marrow Cleansing Technique, the believers' consumption of meat had risen to another level.

However, with five Taisui and the blood pills produced from time to time, this consumption was just a piece of cake.

Even though his Divine Kingdom's time flow was ten times faster than others, development still required a lot of time. When not investing resources, staring at it constantly was meaningless.

"Should I buy some Breeding Cards to speed up the Divine Kingdom?" Yang Fan was somewhat conflicted.

The last time he used Breeding Cards, the resource burden on the Divine Kingdom was too heavy, which caused Yang Fan quite a headache. Moreover, there were no assessments in the short term, so he could completely let the Divine Kingdom develop freely.

Some things, when forced to grow, are counterproductive; too much is as bad as too little.

Yang Fan, whose consciousness was currently in the Divine Kingdom, suddenly felt the person in his arms move and hurriedly returned to reality.

Luo Rou opened her eyes and discovered she was lying in Yang Fan's arms, and he was looking at her.

Her face flushed red, and she subconsciously wanted to push Yang Fan away, but realized her body was too weak to break free.

"You… you let go of me."

"Since we've already bared all to each other, what are you shy about?"

"Are you shameless?"

"We are husband and wife, is this considered shameless?" Yang Fan teased.

Looking at Luo Rou's coy and clinging appearance, Yang Fan couldn't help but tease her a bit.

The once noble daughter of a wealthy family had been cast down to the mortal world, and it was actually his, a country bumpkin's, good fortune to pick her up.

Just then, Sun Rong's soft voice came from outside the door: "Yang Fan, Rou'er, are you awake? I've prepared the meal."

"Mom, I'm already awake, I'll be down in a moment." Luo Rou answered first.

"Okay, if you feel you haven't slept enough, you can sleep a bit longer. I'll have that brat Yang Fan bring the food up, you can eat in bed."

"No need."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Yang Fan gave the beautiful woman in his arms a strange look.

Yang Fan couldn't help but say: "Do you have a split personality?"

"No."

"Then why is your attitude toward me and my parents so different?"

"When facing good people, I am a good person. When facing bad people, I am a bad person." Luo Rou explained while putting on her clothes.

"I've already explained yesterday's matter, it's not what you think." Yang Fan couldn't help but rub his temples.

"Instead of listening to what others say, it's better to watch what they do."

Leaving this sentence behind, Luo Rou went downstairs alone.

As expected of someone from a wealthy family, the ingredients in the refrigerator were all second and third-order monster meat.

The atmosphere at the dining table was somewhat awkward for a moment. Except for Yang Fan, Yang Tiexin and Sun Rong were both looking at the young lady, Luo Rou, cautiously, and for a moment, they didn't dare to touch their chopsticks.

Luo Rou picked up a piece of meat and put it into her mouth. Her face instantly filled with a smile, and she said: "Mom's cooking is really good, I want to eat it every day from now on."

Hearing this, Sun Rong breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere at the dining table eased up quite a bit.

Seeing this, Yang Fan was a bit impressed by Luo Rou; his wife's ability to coax elders was truly superb.

Unlike him, no matter what he said, his parents wouldn't believe it.

For a moment, Yang Fan actually had the feeling that if things went on like this, he would sooner or later fall out of favor.
