Hearing this, Yang Fan instantly understood the meaning behind the other person’s hint.

Having grown too fast over these years, his mindset often still remained in the past.

In the eyes of others, his identity and status were long incomparable to ordinary gods.

"Thank you, Brother Sima."

Yang Fan nodded, then picked up his wine glass and took a sip.

Gu Jiuheng then took over the conversation.

"Yang Fan, the Third Elder has already given me a heads-up in advance."

"Your main purpose for coming to the Frontline is still to build your credentials."

"You broke through to a god too recently, and your Divine Kingdom needs time to develop. Before your strength reaches a Bottleneck, there's no need to rush to contend for the Alien Divine Kingdom Core."

"Next, you can just develop your Divine Kingdom with peace of mind. If you lack any resources, just tell me directly."

"As for military merits, the Gu Family has its own commission channels on the Frontline."

"When the military merit shares turned in by other gods are distributed, naturally there will be a share for you as well."

Hearing this, Yang Fan immediately stood up and expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Brother Jiuheng."

However, as soon as his voice fell, Sima Tianci next to him couldn't help but wail.

"Why?!"

"Why is Brother Yang's credential-building treatment so good?"

"I want to build my credentials like this too!"

Gu Jiuheng immediately rolled his eyes.

"You?"

"Yang Fan has the Hundredfold Time Sequence Talent."

"As long as resources are sufficient, the growth speed of his believers far exceeds that of ordinary gods."

"According to the Third Elder's plan, he is to build credentials and accumulate qualifications first, and then go into business or politics to acquire massive wealth to feed back into the Divine Kingdom."

"You, with a 'Dao' Talent…"

"Instead of making good use of the Divine Kingdom War, putting pressure on believers, and letting them Cultivate properly, you think about lying flat every day?"

Sima Tianci looked deeply aggrieved, "How can Cultivating be as comfortable as sleeping?"

Gu Jiuheng rubbed the space between his brows, clearly too lazy to argue with this guy.

Looking out through the car window, Yang Fan saw a dense cluster of high-rise buildings in the distance, layered on top of each other as if there was no end.

A large number of robots shuttled back and forth among them, moving, delivering, and recording in an orderly manner.

His gaze narrowed slightly.

With his current Mental Energy strength, he almost instantly "saw" through the essence of that area.

Inside those tall buildings, densely packed, were entirely Divine Beings.

They were like groups that had been cut apart and uniformly placed.

"Brother Jiuheng, what is over there?" Yang Fan asked.

Gu Jiuheng glanced in the direction of his gaze and said casually:

"That is the basic resource production base of the Frontline."

"Production base?" Yang Fan frowned slightly, his expression somewhat strange.

Gu Jiuheng nodded.

"Spatial turbulence is severe on the Frontline, and many basic supplies simply cannot be steadily purchased through the Mall."

"And using spaceships for transportation is too costly."

"Therefore, the most stable way is on-site production."

He paused, seemingly organizing his words.

"The path these people take has a unified name in the Federation…"

Saying this, he couldn't remember it for a moment.

"The logistics route."

Sima Tianci added lazily, picking up a piece of spiritual meat and putting it into his mouth.

"To put it bluntly, they are people from Divine Kingdoms born in small places, with limited resources, ordinary talents, and who couldn't even get into university."

Gu Jiuheng nodded in addition:

"Right, it is what the outside world commonly calls logistics Divine Kingdoms."

"Moving into the Frontline, their Divine Kingdoms are responsible for basic resource production, and then they supply the battlefield consumption, which has the lowest cost."

Yang Fan was slightly stunned, and memories of Yang County No. 1 Middle School couldn't help but surface in his mind.

Back then, most of his classmates seemed to have taken this "logistics route".

Only after arriving at Taichu City had this word almost never been heard mentioned again.

"These people don't need to be managed."

Gu Jiuheng continued.

"Managed uniformly by machine soldiers, their range of activities is strictly restricted, and they basically won't leave the production area."

Hearing this, Yang Fan frowned slightly, "So many Divine Beings were all forced to be arranged here?"

His Mental Energy slowly spread out.

That group of buildings was so huge that it was almost exaggerated.

Even with his current perception, he could not reach the boundaries.

And the people within were layered, partitioned, and precisely cut, like some kind of production unit scheduled by the System.

Even their daily routines were uniformly distributed by robots.

All order was nearly cold.

Hearing these words, Gu Jiuheng smiled.

"Forced? Not quite."

"If it were really forced, it couldn't be managed at all."

"The number of Divine Kingdoms taking the logistics route across the entire Federation is simply too large."

"Those who can come to the Frontline are actually those with connections, backgrounds, or special talents."

"The vast majority of Divine Beings can only stay in their original places."

"Those who can reach here can already be considered a filtered round of 'high-quality logistics'."

Yang Fan frowned: "Then why would anyone still be willing to come?"

Gu Jiuheng's tone was calm.

"Because the returns here are higher."

"By earning a large amount of resources on the Frontline, only after returning is it possible to Breakthrough to a demigod."

"To put it bluntly, this is an exchange."

"Trading short-term restrictions for future room for upward mobility."

He paused.

"Only the strong are qualified to talk about freedom."

"Temporarily losing freedom is to exchange it for greater freedom in the future."

"In essence, it is still a business."

"As for the risks…"

Gu Jiuheng raised his head and glanced outside the window.

"The Frontline is not a safe zone."

"Even if it's just a small-scale conflict, or some Alien God losing control."

"These logistics areas are often the first places to be affected."

Yang Fan was silent for a moment, his gaze deepening slightly.

If not for the SSS-Rank Evolution Talent.

His current situation might also be the same as his father's, in Mingyue Community in Yang County.

Squeezing believers on one hand while running around for taxes and resources on the other.

Even the word "Frontline" would only exist in textbooks.

"Brother Yang."

Sima Tianci suddenly spoke, his tone casual.

"Divine Beings' Divine Kingdoms are too restricted, and in essence, they are just stable production tools."

"When you arrive at the Frontline, you still need to find more long-term cooperative demigod Subordinate Gods."

"Proxy wars are safer."

He paused, his tone becoming a bit lighter.

"If you encounter danger, you should still let go of what needs to be let go."

As he spoke, he casually poured Yang Fan a glass of wine.

At this moment, the three of them sat together at the same table, and the atmosphere was no longer as rigidly stratified as when they first met.

It was more of a peer-to-peer conversation.

Gu Jiuheng at the side nodded.

"Although the Third Elder does not want you to participate too much in the Frontline's Divine Kingdom War, it is still necessary to understand some situations."

"Proxy wars, in essence, use the Subordinate Gods' believers to play a game with the opponent's demigods."

"The probability of the Main God's Divine Kingdom coordinates being exposed is not high."

"Even if they are exposed, you can prepare for battle in the Divine Kingdom in advance or call for reinforcements."

Yang Fan nodded slightly, "Thank you, Brother Jiuheng."

The three of them chatted while dining.

Inside the restaurant, Spiritual Qi was misty, and spiritual food and fine wine intertwined with a faint luster.

During the conversation, Yang Fan also gradually glimpsed the pattern and rules of the Frontline from the two of them.

On the surface, the entire Human Race Frontline was unified and governed by the Han Family Military Government, responsible for Frontline scheduling and the operation of the military merit System.

But in reality, the Five Great Families were all deeply deployed here, each forming a massive network of interests.

Including but not limited to resource supply Systems, legion establishment and outsourcing, military exploit distribution channels, Subordinate God trading markets, and logistics Divine Kingdom contracting, etc.
