Chapter 401: The Fairest Currency

"These resources are indeed a bit too much."

Looking at the mountains of resources piled up within his Divine Kingdom, Yang Fan couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.

"Even if I farm military merits through the Dark Web, it won't consume much."

"I can't possibly purchase alien buildings worth hundreds of trillions from the Dark Web all at once and then convert all of them into military merits, right?"

"That would be far too high-profile."

A few years ago, he was once overjoyed because a C-grade building, the Moon Well, could bring in a revenue of thirty thousand Faith Points every month.

But after just a few short years, the revenue brought by his Divine Kingdom investments had now inflated to a degree that even he himself felt was exaggerated.

Today, the actual monthly revenue from his Divine Kingdom investments was at least four to five hundred trillion Divinity Points.

Such a scale of wealth even made Yang Fan unable to help but doubt.

Could those top behemoth enterprises claiming to be listed on the main board of the Human Federation achieve this level?

However, wealth growth brought not only joy, but also the risks hidden behind it.

Yang Fan understood one principle very well.

A person's wealth and strength must match their identity and status.

If one possessed wealth far exceeding their own status, yet lacked sufficient strength to guard it, then wealth was not an Opportunity, but a weakness exposed to the outside.

Most of the time, the truly dangerous thing was not others knowing you were strong, but others discovering you possessed things you shouldn't have.

Therefore, before his strength reached a sufficient height, concealing his brilliance was far more important than recklessly displaying it.

"If I were already a High-tier God now, these resources would naturally be able to play a greater role."

Yang Fan took a deep breath and reminded himself once again.

"But right now, I must restrain myself."

Afterwards, he raised his head and looked at Yang Da.

"Now that the resource output is already this terrifying, in the future, in order to further upgrade the Divine Kingdom environment, I will continue to procure resource-type buildings like the Earth Spiritual Milk Source Nest from the Dark Web."

"It can be foreseen that the Divine Kingdom's revenue will only continue to skyrocket in the future."

"Do you have any good suggestions?"

"However, there is one requirement: the less contact with the real world, the better."

"You should have looked into the corporate annual reports of those large listed companies."

"With our current resource volume, if we continue to exchange a large amount of resources through the Mall and external channels like before, it will inevitably attract the attention of some interested parties."

"Just my identity as the son-in-law of the Five Great Families and a Peerless Prodigy of the Human Federation is not enough."

Yang Fan said with a serious expression.

Yang Da naturally understood Yang Fan's worries.

"Master, things like Divinity Points are ultimately better the more you have."

"As the believers' Realm continuously improves, the consumption of resources will likewise grow exponentially."

"The resources required by ten, or even a hundred Qi Refining Stage believers might not compare to a single Foundation Establishment Realm believer."

"In the future, when the Divine Kingdom's scale expands and believers break through to higher Realms, the believers will consume massive amounts of resources."

"Besides that, if the Yang Group established by Master in the real world wants to truly stride toward the entire Human Federation in the future, it will likewise require a large amount of Divinity Points as support."

Yang Da reminded him.

In his view, Yang Fan's Divine Kingdom didn't actually have too many resources right now; rather, the development structure of the entire Divine Kingdom had a certain degree of imbalance.

The number of resource-type buildings far exceeded the believers' strength.

After all, Yang Fan right now was merely a First-Order God.

Looking across the entire Human Race, which First-Order Divine Kingdom could possess hundreds of thousands of S-rank resource-type buildings?

Even the core heirs of the Five Great Families, at this stage, could never possibly possess such exaggerated resource buildings.

And although the SSS-rank [Hundredfold Evolution Talent] increased the resource output a hundredfold, it also meant that during the process of believers' growth, the consumption of resources would also greatly increase.

Yang Da believed that as time went on, the Divine Kingdom's area continued to expand, and after believers broke through to the Soul Transformation Realm, or even higher Realms…

One day, the consumption speed of the believers would gradually catch up with the resource output.

By that time, it might even be necessary for the Yang Group in the real world to turn around and provide resource support for the Divine Kingdom.

Divinity Points are never enough; this is a universally recognized fact by all gods.

Otherwise, the Human Federation would not have given birth to so many financial groups, companies, listed corporations, and top families.

The essence of commercial activity is to acquire more resources.

And in the Divine Kingdom era, the ultimate purpose of all commercial activities is to make the Divine Kingdom become even stronger.

Hearing this, a confident smile appeared on the corner of Yang Fan's mouth.

"I understand what you mean."

"However, there are some changes that you don't seem to have taken into account."

Yang Da asked doubtfully, "Please enlighten me, Master."

Yang Fan looked at the vast Divine Kingdom in the distance.

"The area of the entire Divine Kingdom that can truly be utilized right now has actually not reached its limit."

"Aside from the core area, most places are still only equipped with A-grade buildings like Spiritual Veins."

"Divine Kingdom investments still have massive room for improvement."

"As long as the channel of the Dark Web exists, before the investable areas of the Divine Kingdom are fully developed, the consumption speed of believers will never be able to catch up with the output speed of resource buildings."

"This is just the first point."

"The most important thing is Origin Evolution."

Speaking of this, a flash of bright light crossed Yang Fan's eyes.

"The S-rank Talent [Growth of All Things] has already boosted all resource output within the Divine Kingdom to more than tenfold."

"In the future, as more talents undergo Fusion, can it continue to transform?"

"SS-rank?"

"Even… SSS-rank?"

Yang Fan gazed at the Divine Kingdom, his voice calm.

"Furthermore, you overlooked the most important problem."

"Resources in themselves have no value."

"What is truly valuable are the resources that are utilized."

"No matter how many Divinity Points there are, they are merely cold numbers."

"Only by transforming these resources into strength, letting believers grow, letting the Divine Kingdom evolve, and making oneself become even stronger do they truly possess meaning."

"Yang Da, do you know what is the fairest thing in this current era?"

Yang Fan suddenly asked.

Yang Da was slightly stunned.

Although he was an Intelligent Life with a massive database, at this moment he still couldn't accurately guess what his own deity wanted to express.

"It is currency."

Yang Fan gazed into the distance and slowly said.

"Under the rules of the Divine Kingdom, Faith Points and Divinity Points are the naturally irreplaceable currencies of this era."

"They originate from the faith of believers and are a value system recognized by all gods, demigods, and Divine Beings."

"And the speed of this currency's depreciation depends on the quantity and development speed of gods, demigods, and Divine Beings throughout the entire Universe."

"If there were no such naturally unified currency system, what do you think this world would become?"

A hint of a smile appeared on the corner of Yang Fan's mouth.

"I'm afraid all major factions would create currencies belonging to themselves."

"The Sima Family issues Sima Coins, the Gu Family issues Gu Coins, the Han Family issues Han Coins…"

"In the end, this world would instead become incomparably chaotic."
