Chapter 58: Alien Believers
Zhang Pang approached Yang Fan and asked, "Brother Yang, what can I do?"
"Your believers don't have much combat capability, so stay on the periphery and just gather some spiritual plants," Yang Fan said, surveying their surroundings.
The surrounding vegetation was lush, but a faint scent of blood permeated the air, along with a trace of desolation.
Yang Fan guessed this was due to the school's gods invading, though they likely refrained from large-scale destruction to preserve the area for the assessment.
Zhang Pang nodded and asked, "Then when should we meet up? I'll need to hand over the resources I obtain to you."
"No need, keep them for yourself to develop your Divine Kingdom," Yang Fan said indifferently.
There weren't many valuable things on the edges of the Divine Kingdom. He aimed for the top ten in this exam, and Zhang Pang couldn't help him much with that.
"Ah? But I'm your Subordinate God!"
Zhang Pang couldn't understand Yang Fan's approach.
He naturally knew the situation of other Subordinate Gods. In school exams, giving the resources one obtained to the primary god was basically the default practice.
Essentially, a Subordinate God was part of the primary god, much like the relationship between a headquarters and a subsidiary. Though they had autonomy, they operated under the primary god's banner.
He had already benefited quite a bit from Yang Fan during this period. Now, not even having to hand over resources from the exam—this treatment was simply too good.
If other Subordinate Gods knew about his situation, they would be dying of envy.
"Watch out for your own safety. Try not to go too deep. Most of my forces will be committed to this battle. If your Divine Kingdom is invaded, I might not have time to send reinforcements," Yang Fan said with a serious expression.
"Understood, Boss. I promise not to hold you back," Zhang Pang nodded hurriedly.
Zhang Pang had already made up his mind: if he encountered alien believers, regardless of their strength, he would run immediately.
He was still young, and the girls of Heavenly Fragrance World were still waiting for him; he cherished his life dearly.
Once Yang Fan was far from his classmates, he immediately summoned the soldiers from within his Divine Kingdom.
A full five hundred thousand: 105 Tier 2 Beings, 3,822 Tier 1 Beings, and the rest were all Mortals.
Sensing the murderous aura in the air, Yang Fan understood the danger level here was not low.
Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit; these 500,000 troops were his core strength at this moment.
However, his advantage lay in his Evolution Talent. Training continued incessantly within his Divine Kingdom; as soon as losses occurred, more believers would step up to fill the gaps.
Outside, many gods on the high platform also began to offer their critiques.
"Yang Fan's overall strength looks a bit weak. Could it be the Luo Family is reluctant to invest?" Li Yuan asked with a smile.
Luo Chengfeng snorted coldly. "His strength is not weak; he's at least at the level of the top ten in the grade."
"Oh? Does he have some sort of trump card?" A look of curiosity appeared on Li Yuan's face.
Luo Chengfeng didn't explain. Once Yang Fan unleashed the Myriad Spirits Return to Origin Array at the Great Success stage, it would surely shock the other man.
He couldn't wait to see the expression on Li Yuan's face when that happened.
"Luo Bing and Li Tianheng's team is crazy enough; they're heading straight for the core of the Divine Kingdom."
"They are certainly full of confidence. Even if it has been weakened, it is still a Demi-god after all; the power in the core area cannot be weak."
Wan Sanqian suddenly looked at Yang Wanli with curiosity. "Director Yang, I wonder how much effective force this Alien Demi-god still has?"
"Over a thousand Tier 5 Beings, over ten thousand Tier 4 Beings, over a hundred thousand Tier 3 Beings, and tens of millions in the common population," Yang Wanli said with a slight smile.
"Principal Hong really dares to apply pressure. Combined with the harsh environment of the Divine Kingdom itself, these little fellows are in for some hardship!" Luo Chengfeng gave a bitter laugh, a trace of worry in his eyes as he looked toward Yang Fan.
If all the believers of this Demi-god gathered in one place, they could easily wipe out the entire senior year.
Unlike the Divine Kingdoms of Divine Creatures, a Demi-god's Divine Kingdom contained various traps and toxins in addition to believers.
After all, once one became a Demi-god, they had to protect their Divine Kingdom from invasion. Besides the believers themselves, there had to be defensive structures.
"Stupid brat, you'd better be careful. Don't go sinking your ship in a shallow ditch," Luo Chengfeng prayed as he watched Yang Fan's position.
Inside the Alien Divine Kingdom, Yang Fan pushed forward continuously.
Because of the intelligent life, he could now see the value of things in his eyes, in addition to the physical environment.
"Ordinary trees, 0 points."
"Ordinary beasts, 0 points."
"Weeds, 0 points."
…
After exploring for over a hundred kilometers, Yang Fan had gained nothing except for some F-rank spiritual plants.
"Examinee Name: Yang Fan; Points: 13,200."
Along the way, Yang Fan also roughly understood the value determination rules of the intelligent life; it was basically linked 1:1 with Faith Points.
However, there was some good news. This exam seemed to have a kind of invisible rule power: as long as he came within a hundred meters of a valuable item, he could directly collect it into his Divine Kingdom without needing to arrange for soldiers to do the gathering work.
Efficiency was significantly higher.
"Woo, woo, woo."
Noisy sounds came from deep within the dense forest. Yang Fan could vaguely see figures darting back and forth among the towering trees.
"Are these… Demon Monkeys?" Yang Fan saw their forms clearly.
The opponents were massive, roughly three to four times the size of his own believers.
"Alien Believer: Demon Monkey (Ordinary), Corpse Value: 10 points." Specific information appeared on Yang Fan's iris.
There were only about a hundred Demon Monkeys. They didn't have much intelligence; even looking at his army of 500,000, there was no fear in their eyes.
Dropping to the ground, the Demon Monkeys wielded iron staves, swinging them into blurs of afterimages before standing with their staves in hand, assuming a formation.
Seeing this, Yang Fan couldn't help but say, "They handle those staves quite well."
Yang Fan waved his hand, and the vanguard charged. In just a single exchange, this batch of Demon Monkeys was killed on the spot.
With a thought, Yang Fan moved the corpses into his Divine Kingdom.
It wasn't just for points; he could also put these corpses into the bailing blood pool to refine blood pills. Their production efficiency was much stronger than taisui meat.
Everything should be put to its best use; nothing can be wasted.
Continuing roughly a thousand kilometers deeper, a sudden scream came from the rear as a unit of a thousand soldiers fell into a swamp.
"F-rank Defensive Structure: Swamp (Triggered), 10,000 points."
Yang Fan directly collected the swamp structure into his Divine Kingdom, but those thousand ordinary soldiers had already suffocated to death.
"How many times has this been? This damn place is practically lethal!" Yang Fan couldn't help but complain.
If these defensive traps weren't triggered, he couldn't discover them at all. Along the way, he lost a few hundred people at best, and over a thousand at worst.
He hadn't seen many alien believers, yet he had already lost nearly ten thousand ordinary soldiers.
Yang Fan's estimation of the danger within a Demi-god's Divine Kingdom rose to a new level once again.
The deeper they went, the more traces of battle there were around them.
Scorch marks, toxic smoke, sword gashes, and even mountains split open by some mysterious power.
Even just catching a glimpse of a fragment of the combat, Yang Fan could sense the terrifying battles that had occurred when the school's top brass attacked this place.
