Power Progression

Background / History

Yang Fan initially began as an anxious, ordinary final-year student hoping to awaken any talent to ease his family's financial burden 1. During his high school awakening ceremony, he shocked observers by revealing an initial divine kingdom of one million square kilometers—the apparent maximum initial size—though it was officially categorized with an average F-Rank Resource Talent 1. In secret, he possessed a unique SSS-Rank Evolution Talent that accelerated his divine kingdom's growth, which he kept strictly hidden to avoid exploitation 1 3.

His newly awakened kingdom contained two hundred Barbarian followers, twice the usual starting population. He activated tenfold evolution and used accelerated Moonlight Dew production to offset its operating cost, establishing the resource-investment cycle that sustained his later development 3. Rather than accept a purely logistical role, he pursued a war-oriented kingdom while balancing food production, follower cultivation, and ecological stability 3 21.

Through clever resource management, tactical deployment of formations like the Myriad Spirits Return-to-Origin Array, and aggressive investment, Yang Fan rapidly climbed the rankings during school assessments 26 27. His success attracted the attention of major forces, leading to a marriage arrangement with Luo Rou and political backing from the Luo Family 31 49. After repeatedly outperforming established heirs and proving his extraordinary comprehension, he was recruited by Primordial Academy, where his talent was misidentified by the Federation as an S-Rank Tenfold Timeflow talent 103 107.

His initial assessment placed him sixty-fourth in his grade, prompting competing recruitment offers from major families and companies 27 28. Luo Family investment supplied infrastructure and capital, although internal politics repeatedly obstructed proposals to grant him First-Grade Genius treatment 32 49 70. He also began financing Water of Life for Luo Rou and seeking a permanent solution to the damage to her kingdom 36 70.

Yang Fan eventually advanced to the Demigod realm, upgrading his evolution talent to a hundredfold acceleration 118. He achieved exceptional rankings in the Primordial Battlefield, earning him official recognition as a "Peerless Monster" and lucrative investment contracts from the Five Giants, ultimately choosing an alliance and marriage with the Gu Family 179 181. While still a Demigod, he secured strategic assets such as life-bearing planets, Xiling Star, and top-tier buildings like the Heavenly Court and Intelligent Goddess. His subsequent advancement to Godhood unlocked Origin Evolution, enabling him to absorb rival divine kingdom talents 231 235 294.

His rise brought Federation investment and security measures to Yang County, benefiting his former school, parents, wives, friends, and the Luo Family 192. After their relocation to Xiling Star, he promised to make the Luo Family the planet's foremost lineage in repayment for its earlier assistance 230 231. As a third-year university student in his twenties, he returned home as a God before departing for military service 304.

At the Frontline, Yang Fan held god-level status in the Ninth Legion but enjoyed protection from compulsory Divine Kingdom war assignments through his Gu Family backing 339. Following Gu Xuanting's advice, he emphasized proxy warfare and avoided exposing his physical body to the foremost battle lines 297. Li Tianheng became his Subordinate God and helped recruit demigod vassals, conduct invasions, and obtain cores for Origin Evolution 324 328 576.

Yang Fan's independent victory over the Angel Race's Third-Order God drew the attention of figures with access to military records, including Han Jue and Han Chao 409 413 592. He married Lu Wan and expanded his connections through the Stars Group, joining Han Jue, Qin Zheng, Sima Tianci, and other partners in an Earth-Rank Secret Realm reclamation 375 406 412 420. Despite increased networking, he continued to regard his own kingdom and hidden talent as the foundation of his advancement 409.

His conflict with Ma Huainan developed into a Divine Kingdom war in which his central objective was the enemy's core rather than ordinary spoils. He sought to destroy enough of Ma Huainan's kingdom to make continued Sima Family support uneconomical 440. Eventually, absorbing Ma Huainan's core granted him Myriad Martial Saint Body and greatly improved the prospects of his martial civilization 487 498.

The Yang Group subsequently spent more than five quadrillion Divinity Points acquiring essential industries in the Warfront Starfield, including food, energy, transport routes, and public infrastructure 517. Yang Fan publicly described these purchases as service to the Federation, while maintaining that he had undisclosed reasons for the investment strategy 517 521. He also recognized the importance of an intelligence organization such as the Stellar Consulting Group to his next plans 524.

A later marriage arrangement made him the secret Dao Companion of Han Lingzhi, the Sixth-Tier God commanding the Second Legion. The match involved the Han Family's senior lineage and Lu Yanran rather than Han Qing, who had been pursuing him 579 580 592. Yang Fan responded by renewing his ambition to surpass Han Lingzhi and gain greater control over his circumstances. Meanwhile, his development efforts expanded into ghost cultivation, culminating in the evolution of Soul Seed into B-Rank Soul Gathering 592 600.

Appearance

Yang Fan is a young human male who maintains a calm, unassuming, and ordinary outward presentation that often conceals his immense power and physical transformation 36 178.

• Possesses a physical body so intensely strengthened by martial cultivation and the Indestructible Golden Body Art that refined-iron furniture and ordinary objects initially broke beneath him 116.
• His Demigod breakthrough transforms his genes, bones, muscles, meridians, and cells, while greatly increased spiritual power allows him to control his strengthened body 118.
• Can suppress his aura with exceptional bodily control; nevertheless, Ye Jianfeng detects that his presence is unusually powerful for a recently advanced Demigod 131.
• His physical durability later surprises Gu Jiuheng, who questions whether he has secretly prioritized the martial path 406.

Personality

• Pragmatic and Cautious: Deeply calculating, Yang Fan prioritizes sustainable long-term investments, resource compounding, and safety over reckless bravery or unnecessary risks 35 194.
• Ruthless and Decisive: While generally polite and fair, he shows absolute ruthlessness toward enemies and eliminates future threats without hesitation 59 129 228.
• Secretive: Highly protective of his true capabilities, he deliberately conceals his SSS-Rank Evolution Talent and lets others misinterpret his power as time-related or formation-based 1 103.
• Family-Oriented: Despite his immense status and growing political authority, he remains deeply attached to his parents, wives, and childhood friends, taking steps to secure their prosperity and safety 231 304.
• Independent but Adaptable: Initially rejects restrictive corporate contracts and Gu Family membership to preserve freedom. He later accepts that sufficient strength and institutional resources are necessary for meaningful independence and chooses a mutually beneficial Gu Family alliance 107 133 180 181.
• Respectful Rather than Arrogant: Treats former companions courteously despite their widening difference in status, believing dignity and mutual respect are more valuable than contempt 240.
• Grateful and Loyal to Old Ties: Remembers the Luo Family's investment and uses his success to improve its prospects. His gifts to Liu Ruyan also resolve her family's debts and medical and educational difficulties 231 572.
• Personally Proud: Refuses Lu Wan's offer of one hundred trillion Divinity Points because he does not want to appear dependent on a woman. He also declines his wives' assistance during a business controversy, though he later acknowledges the value of support he can repay 403 521 524.
• Demanding Toward Followers: Believes comfort without pressure can weaken ambition. He advocates hierarchy, competition, and opportunities for advancement, including movement between his main kingdom and Secret Realms 403.
• Patient and Preparation-Focused: Orders three thousand kingdom years of preparation before confronting an Angel Race god, accounting for hidden abilities and possible reinforcements even when Yang Da considers the precautions excessive 354.
• Renewed Ambition: His marriage to Han Lingzhi makes him recognize his own comfortable circumstances and set a new goal of surpassing her strength 592.

Abilities & Skills

SSS-Rank Evolution Talent

Yang Fan's core cheat and primary engine for growth, granting him absolute superiority in resource generation and evolution speed 1 3.

• Time Evolution: Initially operating at 10x acceleration upon awakening, it upgrades to 100x acceleration upon reaching Demigod, letting his divine kingdom develop centuries in the span of real-world months 118.
• Origin Evolution: Unlocked upon reaching Godhood, allowing him to absorb the divine kingdom cores of defeated gods, strip away their native divine kingdom talents, and fuse them into his own domain 294 300.
• Low Operating Cost: Tenfold evolution initially costs 1,000 Faith Points per day; hundredfold evolution costs one Divinity Point per day after his Demigod breakthrough 3 118.
• Distinction from Timeflow: Unlike the hundredfold timeflow talent others believe he possesses, Evolution does not require immense expenditures of kingdom spiritual energy. He generally maintains the accelerated state continuously, except when his kingdom comes under attack 425.
• Talent Conversion Losses: Human cores generally yield compatible talents one rank below their originals. Foreign-race cores often lose two or three ranks during origin conversion 354.
• High-Rank Acquisition Limits: He determines that acquiring an S-Rank talent through absorption requires a source possessing at least an SS-Rank talent. Such sources are rare and often protected by major factions 399.
• Talent Fusion: Compatible origins improve existing talents, sometimes changing their names or ranks. Even fusion that falls short of a rank breakthrough can strengthen a talent's effects and make the kingdom's laws more complete 300 355 399 400.
• Restricted Knowledge: Yang Da understands the existence of his SSS-Rank talent, whereas artificial lifeforms such as Yang Yi are restricted from accessing that core secret 155.

Acquired Divine Kingdom Talents

Cultivation & Combat Mastery

Yang Fan integrates multiple paths of civilization into his personal combat and divine architecture 235.

• Immortal Cultivation Path: Commands powerful five-element spells, Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Core Formation followers, borrowing their pooled energy to cast high-level techniques like the Gengjin Riftblade Art 119 175 283.
• Martial Arts Path: Proficient in body-tempering arts, the Indestructible Golden Body Art, and the War God Codex, granting him terrifying physical strength capable of shattering high-grade weapons with a single punch 116 178.
• Array Mastery: Master of advanced military arrays, including the Great Accomplishment Realm Myriad Spirits Return-to-Origin Array and the C-Rank Ten Halls of Yama Formation 54 132.
• Five-Element Versatility: Uses metal, wood, water, fire, and earth techniques in combination. During the Peerless Talent Arena, his Thick Earth Mountain-Suppressing Scripture, fire attacks, water swords, and binding vines overwhelm multiple opponents simultaneously 177.
• Mechanical Feedback: Mechanical civilization strengthens his mental power, computational capacity, and creation-related abilities. Its fourth-tier lifeforms produce a notable further increase in his strength 117 241 347 369.
• Corpse-Cultivation Abilities: Can access some White Jiangshi supernatural abilities in reality, including corpse poison and yin-energy techniques, though he initially refrains from testing them because of their sinister nature 369.
• Mental Perception and Control: Detects concealed hostility, assesses other gods' approximate strength, and creates mental barriers that prevent conversations from being overheard 406 408 410.
• Follower-Based Enhancement: His power reflects his believers' abilities and collective development. The appearance of his first Foundation Establishment believer increases his personal strength by roughly twenty percent 117 131.

Divine Kingdom Civilizations

The strength of these systems is not determined by resources alone. Yang Da explains that favorable conditions accelerate cultivation, but incomplete Divine Kingdom laws can prevent believers from entering higher realms. This accounts for the absence of fifth-tier artificial lifeforms despite Yang Fan's immense fourth-tier population 498.

Warfare, Administration, and Investment

• Proxy Warfare: Supplies Subordinate Gods with robots, defensive assets, and coordinates, allowing them to fight while he collects useful cores and military merit. Early successful vassals receive the conquered buildings and resources below Class C, improving his recruitment reputation 324 339.
• Large-Scale Command Delegation: Uses specialist artificial lifeforms to manage administration, production, exploration, and military operations, replacing inadequate command arrangements as his armies expand 133 136.
• Self-Cleansing Environment: Dense spiritual energy and later immortal qi purify conquered land contaminated by corpse miasma and zombie virus, allowing damaged territory to recover 324 487.
• Secret Realm Reforms: Plans to transfer believers with limited growth potential into Secret Realms as reserve or vanguard populations while retaining opportunities to return to the main kingdom 403.
• Selective Cooperation: Usually avoids joint Divine Kingdom wars that would expose his coordinates, troop strength, or hidden advantages, but accepts carefully chosen business and Secret Realm partnerships 135 403 412.
• Economic and Intelligence Planning: Builds the Yang Group through massive acquisitions of essential industries and recognizes the importance of a large intelligence company to his subsequent strategy 517 524.

• War God Codex: A major martial resource obtained through the wager with Ma Huainan; later military records show Yang Fan exchanging substantial merit for additional top-tier war buildings, including this resource 240 592.
• Nine Profound Ice Pagodas: Purchases one thousand B-Grade pagodas to counter the Divine Armament Forge Platform's heat and preserve ecological stability 136.
