Chapter 379: Fallen Angels

At this moment, Lu Wan was completely stunned.

She stared blankly at the man before her, as if she were truly seeing Yang Fan for the first time.

She had always believed that Yang Fan was an extremely rational person.

One who could even calmly calculate every step for the sake of profit.

But at this moment, she suddenly realized that this man did not seem to be the person she had imagined.

"You… you…"

"I…"

Lu Wan opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a complete sentence.

The next second, her face flushed instantly.

She stood up abruptly and pushed Yang Fan out of the room.

"Bang!"

The door slammed shut.

"Wan'er?"

Yang Fan stood outside the door, somewhat puzzled.

"What's wrong?"

There was silence in the room for a moment.

Then, Lu Wan's slightly flustered voice came from within.

"I… I have things to think about."

"You should go back first."

"I'll come find you after I've thought it through."

Yang Fan was taken aback for a moment, but he still nodded.

"Alright."

"Then take care and get some rest."

After saying that, he turned and left the villa.

At this moment, Lu Wan was huddled on the floor.

She gently pressed one hand against her chest, and she could clearly feel her heart beating violently.

"How is that possible?"

"The reason I chose to marry him wasn't it because of his Divine Kingdom talent and that terrifying potential?"

"Besides, according to my investigation, he shouldn't be the type of person who is deeply infatuated…"

"We were clearly in a relationship of mutual utilization!"

Lu Wan muttered softly.

"Could it be… that he really loves me?"

"Otherwise, why would he give up a full 100 trillion Divinity Points?"

Thinking of this, Lu Wan felt a bit dazed.

"Love…"

"Mother, I feel… like I've met the male protagonist from a storybook."

"You used to say that there is no such thing as pure love in this world, perhaps… you were really wrong."

Her voice was very soft.

Born into the Lu Family, what Lu Wan had been exposed to most was not romance, but interests.

Corporate structure, asset distribution, equity ratios, business negotiations…

These things had long been ingrained in her bones.

She had also seen too many so-called prodigies.

When those young elites interacted with her, they often discussed prenuptial assets, post-marital shares, future corporate control, and even planned asset division schemes in case their relationship fell apart.

In Lu Wan's view, there was nothing wrong with this.

Marriage is inherently a contract.

It's just like running a company together.

When the company develops smoothly, everyone is naturally happy.

But if the company goes bankrupt, it naturally needs to be liquidated according to the rules.

This was the philosophy she had been raised with.

But today, Yang Fan's choice broke her long-standing perception for the first time.

A man who was willing to give up 100 trillion Divinity Points for her.

"He really loves me…"

Lu Wan hugged her knees, her eyes somewhat lost.

"Then what on earth should I do?"

She was skilled at company valuation, wealth investment, drafting contracts, and legal provisions.

But for the thing called "love," she was completely clueless.

Yang Fan's sudden confession caught her off guard.

That feeling was like someone suddenly handing a warm flame to her, who had always lived in a cold business world.

She wanted to get close, but she was also a bit afraid.

"Was I wrong?"

"At the beginning, should I not have used this method of exchanging interests to obtain him?"

"Should I have really had a romance with him, just like in the storybooks?"

The more Lu Wan thought about it, the more confused she felt.

For the first time, she discovered that the matter she was facing was actually more difficult than managing a large conglomerate.

…

On the other side.

Yang Fan was sitting in the aircraft returning to the Gu Family villa, and he was clearly in a good mood.

He couldn't even help humming a little tune.

"It's still Big Sister Ruyan who taught me well."

"Wan'er is actually quite interesting; she couldn't hold her ground at all after just a little teasing."

"And she's supposed to be a social butterfly?"

"All name and no substance; no wonder it was her first time yesterday."

Thinking of Lu Wan's shy and annoyed appearance, Yang Fan couldn't help but laugh.

"Earned another 50 million military merits."

"This time, I can exchange for a top-tier S-Rank Building."

"Comfortable!"

As for those 100 trillion Divinity Points, Yang Fan's refusal was naturally not because of any love.

It was because the current him was truly not lacking in Divinity Points.

The income generated by his Divine Kingdom grew every day, and a large amount of Divinity Points flowed in continuously.

Even if he accepted those 100 trillion Divinity Points, it would just be left to gather dust in the Divine Kingdom.

If it were back when he had just entered the Primordial Academy…

At that time, if Lu Wan had been willing to gift him 100 trillion Divinity Points.

Let alone marrying him, even if she asked him to acknowledge her as his mother on the spot, he probably would have seriously considered it.

But now, it was different.

His Divine Kingdom had long since grown to another level.

…

After returning to the Gu Family villa.

Yang Fan closed his eyes, and his consciousness instantly entered the Divine Kingdom.

Within the magnificent temple, his figure slowly appeared.

The moment he appeared, Yang Fan cast his gaze toward the Frontline battlefield.

At this moment, the war was still ongoing.

Countless Angel Race believers, as if they didn't care about their lives, were frantically launching charges toward the intelligent gundam.

Tens of thousands of angels formed small battle formations, erupting with terrifying power, and slammed directly into the core position of the intelligent gundam.

Seeing this scene, a flash of surprise crossed Yang Fan's eyes.

However, what surprised him was not the Angel Race's fearless fighting style.

But rather… the appearance of these Angel Race members seemed to have undergone some kind of change.

Their originally pure white wings had now all turned jet black.

On those holy faces, eerie black patterns had also emerged.

As if they had been eroded by some kind of power, or as if they had been poisoned.

"This is…"

Yang Fan furrowed his brows slightly.

"Angel Race, how did they become like this?"

"Reporting to Master, these are Fallen Angels," Yang Da replied with a bow.

"Fallen Angels?"

Yang Fan raised an eyebrow slightly.

Yang Da nodded and then explained: "It is a type of mutation phenomenon."

"For example, among the Demon Monkey race, the vast majority are ordinary demon monkeys, but among them, there are also variants like the Vajra King Monkey, which are born with powerful Bloodline."

Hearing this, Yang Fan's eyes flickered, and he subconsciously thought of Qi Tian, whose Divine Kingdom Core he had once seized.

"Others are different from birth, so what is the situation with this Angel Race?"

"The Angel Race excels in powers related to the spirit and Soul, so their mutation is not reflected in the Physical Body, but rather on the level of the mind."

Yang Da continued to explain.

"According to the Human Race war database, in many historical wars against the Angel Race, after entering the Late Stage, there would be situations where some Angel Race believers transformed into Fallen Angels."

"This probability is as high as 67.2%."

"How is the increase in strength?"

Yang Fan waved his hand, not paying too much attention.

In the Divine Kingdom Era, the Human Race was merely one of thousands of races.

Races waged wars against each other for resources, territory, and development opportunities; essentially, there was no such thing as good or evil.

The winner gains everything, and the loser loses everything.

And every race possessed its own area of expertise (Domain), and would also have some special trump cards.

Whether they were ordinary angels or Fallen Angels, it made no difference to Yang Fan.

What he truly cared about was only whether the battlefield situation had changed.
