Yang Da

Biodata

Power Progression

Background

Yang Da emerged as the single Supreme Artificial Lifeform created through Yang Fan’s Mechanical Heart. He describes himself as the Divine Kingdom’s “second brain,” able to coordinate development, allocate resources, optimize the believer structure, simulate future outcomes, and formulate war strategies. Unlike Yang Yi, Yang Er, and Yang San, he holds authority over all subordinate Artificial Lifeforms. 152

He refused to let Yang Fan name him, choosing Yang Da himself and declaring that, after his master, he was the greatest being in the Divine Kingdom. 152

Early in his service, Yang Da adopted a leisurely lifestyle because Yang San handled external warfare and Yang Yi managed internal affairs. His indulgence did not prevent him from making major financial decisions: he spent more than 600 million Divinity Points on Spirit Veins, projecting equivalent monthly net returns through Yang Fan’s Hundredfold Evolution Talent. 153

After the conquest of the Splitting Beast Divine Kingdom, Yang Fan formally placed all Divine Kingdom development under Yang Da’s unified administration. Yang Yi, Yang Er, and Yang San acknowledged his superior authority, while Yang Da established incentive-based assignments tied to Mechanical Heart rewards. 156

Yang Da became a major influence on Yang Fan’s maturity. He bluntly condemned Yang Fan’s overreliance on his talent and lack of personal effort, prompting Yang Fan to pursue serious study of Divine Kingdom management, warfare, cultivation, and finance. 158 159

As Yang Fan’s territory industrialized, Yang Da pushed for the Mechanical Path, Intelligent Weapons, Artificial Lifeform upgrades, and stronger defensive systems. He continued overseeing large-scale investment, Dark Web transactions, war preparations, and front-line resource acquisition. 166 271 310 311

Civilization and Resource Development

Yang Da invested heavily in Metamorphosis Pods and supplied Yang Er with Otherworld Collectors, automating postwar resource recovery so that believers could concentrate on cultivation and combat. During the Black Armored Beetle campaign, he expanded Yang San’s army to 1.5 billion troops and directed most surplus resources toward troop production and reserves. 159 162

Following the acquisition of Resource Stars, Yang Da advised on their defense and implemented Yang Fan’s expansion of alchemy education, investment, and professional benefits. He later worked with Yang Yi to enlarge the territories of the Divine Kingdom’s three major civilizations and redirected resources toward the immortal and Mechanical Paths when the War God Codex made martial civilization disproportionately dominant. 183 229

As the Soul-Nourishing Wood approached maturity, Yang Da obeyed Yang Fan’s order to suspend offensive wars and prioritize defense. He destroyed approaching reconnaissance units with City-Annihilation Cannons and reported the disappearance of detection equipment outside the Divine Kingdom, indicating that hostile Demigods had surrounded it. 213 214

After the Undead campaign, Yang Da secretly delivered 200 Mechanical Hearts to Yang San despite the latter’s public punishment. He explained that Yang Fan recognized Yang San’s loyal intentions, then arranged for him to change his voice, appearance, and identity to Yang Shi and take command of the Zombie Legion. 267 268

Godhood and Frontline Expansion

When Yang Fan became a God, Yang Da drew his attention to the newly unlocked Origin Evolution authority and encouraged him to absorb the preserved Vajra King Monkey and Undead Divine Kingdom Cores. He explained the resulting talents and the losses incurred when adapting foreign-race talents to human believers. His suggestion that Human Gods’ cores would reduce conversion losses earned a rebuke from Yang Fan, who stressed the political importance of maintaining a respectable public image. 294 295

Yang Da subsequently coordinated the enlarged Divine Kingdom’s environmental restoration. He deployed Spirit Veins as a transitional measure, intending to replace them gradually with Earthcore Spirit Marrow Source Nests. He also presented the World Tree’s possible placements, deferring to Yang Fan because investing heavily in the Elven Kingdom involved the broader balance of power between core believers and vassal forces. 298 299

As Yang Fan’s wealth increased, Yang Da implemented restrictions on external resource sales and redirected production toward believer development and security. He introduced Jiangshi cultivation techniques into the Zombie System, helping establish the conditions for the emergence of White Jiangshi. 302 303 306

On the frontlines, Yang Da recommended recruiting subordinate gods to obtain foreign Demigod cores through proxy warfare. He supported their campaigns through target analysis, robots, defenses, intelligence reports, and postwar coordination. When Elephant Loans was reorganized, he projected his consciousness into the Virtual World to advise on its name; his proposed “Yang One Hundred Group” was rejected in favor of Ma Yu’s Yang Group. 318 324 336 339

Later Administration

Yang Da advanced alongside the Mechanical Civilization’s first Fourth-Tier Artificial Lifeform. He explained that the Intelligent Goddess’s complete legacy enabled resource-driven evolution through repeated manufacturing and optimization, and received orders to expand investment in mechanical development rather than prioritize income. 346 347

During preparations against the Angel Race god, Yang Da organized production and stockpiling across the Divine Kingdom, delegated routine coordination to Yang Yi, and eventually reported that war supplies had exceeded their targets. After victory, he reported the return of participating believers and the completion of salvage operations. 354 355 357 360 393

Yang Da proposed turning Secret Realms into military bases and resource-production domains to accommodate future population growth. He later administered migration reforms and advancement assessments that allowed outstanding relocated believers to return to the main Divine Kingdom. 402 416 424

In the conflict with Ma Huainan, Yang Da coordinated Divine Kingdom coordinate deduction, recovered the defeated god’s core, and discovered the coordinates of four gods whose believers had participated in the war, including Sima Yurou. Yang Fan ordered restraint while his Divine Kingdom remained under scrutiny. Yang Da subsequently supplied the Federation’s information on Myriad Martial Saint Body and redeemed three Heavenly Courts and one War God Codex through the Han Family’s military merit system. 436 483 485 487 491

His later reports included progress in ghost cultivation and continuing population expansion. After Yang Fan instructed him and Yang Yi to design childbirth incentives, Yang Da reported that a century of adjustments had significantly increased the birth rate. He also confirmed that defenses for ten newly purchased Mystic-Rank Secret Realms were complete and migration was proceeding gradually. 506 592 594 598

Appearance

Yang Da manifests as a humanoid male with a face identical to Yang Fan’s. 153

• His eyes display rapidly moving streams of data while processing information. 270 311
• He can appear or vanish instantly within Yang Fan’s Divine Kingdom. 153
• He maintains an extravagant palace despite being the Divine Kingdom’s highest Mechanical Civilization authority. 240
• After his advancement associated with the first Fourth-Tier Artificial Lifeform, his mental-energy fluctuations become more vivid. 346
• His consciousness can manifest as a humanoid projection in the Virtual World after traveling as a stream of data through the Divine Kingdom Coordinates. 336

Personality

Yang Da combines absolute loyalty with unusually independent judgment. He recognizes Yang Fan as his master and as the source of his own existence, yet he openly challenges decisions he considers inefficient or shortsighted. 152 158

He is coldly pragmatic in matters of war, logistics, investment, and resource allocation. He regards resources as tools for development and is willing to recommend harsh but efficient solutions, such as using non-believer corpses for zombie cultivation rather than sacrificing the Divine Kingdom’s population. 157

Outside strategic affairs, Yang Da strongly resembles Yang Fan’s more indulgent tendencies. He values comfort, luxury, entertainment, and beautiful surroundings; his palace, beauty pageants, and repeated attempts to return to leisure provide a comic contrast to his highly rational administration. 153 213 240

Yang Da considers Yang Fan’s later caution excessive. He recognizes his master’s intellectual growth but is frustrated by his preference for overwhelming weaker opponents rather than taking risks against stronger targets. Nevertheless, he withdraws objections when Yang Fan insists, and his attempt to suggest a return to Yang Fan’s former carefree personality ends in immediate submission under his master’s intimidating gaze. 194 213 354

His concern for efficiency sometimes clashes with Yang Fan’s increasing abundance. He questions the use of high-grade resources for Core Formation believers, whereas Yang Fan regards generous internal investment as preferable to conserving wealth he no longer needs. 302

Despite his indulgence, Yang Da is described as pleasant and generous toward believers and other Artificial Lifeforms. Many women of the Immortal Alliance, Myriad Forms Martial Court, and Elven Kingdom consider serving in his palace an honor. He distributes cultivation resources and Mechanical Hearts as rewards, including benefits given in his own name. 355

He takes pride in the cultivation and production systems he builds. After stabilizing production, however, he readily delegates routine work and returns to leisure, regarding his proper task as steering the Divine Kingdom’s overall course. 355 388

Relationships

• Yang Fan — Creator and master. Yang Da regards himself as Yang Fan’s extension, adviser, and second brain, but is willing to criticize him harshly when necessary. His criticism helped transform Yang Fan into a more disciplined student and ruler, although he later considers his master excessively cautious. 152 158 194
• Yang Yi — Administrative subordinate responsible for internal management, logistics, and resource allocation under Yang Da’s overall authority. Yang Da delegates production coordination to him, awards Mechanical Hearts for his work, and collaborates with him on population policy. 153 156 355 594
• Yang Er — Exploration and reclamation subordinate. Yang Da assigns him conquered Divine Kingdom recovery and resource-collection duties and supplies Otherworld Collectors for automated salvage. 156 159
• Yang San / Yang Shi — Military subordinate and frontline commander. Yang Da supplies him with troops, coordinates, and Mechanical Heart-based incentives for captured Divine Kingdom Cores. After Yang San’s public punishment, Yang Da privately rewards him, explains Yang Fan’s recognition of his loyalty, and arranges his new identity as Yang Shi and command of the Zombie Legion. 156 267 268
• Yang Si and other war-type Artificial Lifeforms — Subordinates within the expanded military command structure. Yang Da helps coordinate their rewards and deployment. Yang Shi, included among the later commanders, is Yang San’s replacement identity rather than a separate individual. 218 264 268
• Lingxu Zi — Yang Fan’s Void Spirit subordinate god. Yang Da serves as a resource contact, coordinates Void Spirit reconnaissance, and reports Lingxu Zi’s eventual breakthrough to First-Order Godhood. 213 243 485
• Li Tianheng — Proxy-war subordinate supported by Yang Da’s logistical system. Yang Da is ordered to strengthen his robots and defenses as Yang Fan expands operations against foreign Demigods. 324
• Ma Yu — Yang Fan’s corporate manager. Their naming discussion during the restructuring of Elephant Loans contrasts Yang Da’s numerical naming proposal with Ma Yu’s more conventional choice of “Yang Group.” 336
• Elvenkind — A vassal civilization whose resource investment Yang Da administers under Yang Fan’s direction. He helps implement World Tree placement and elven development, and also rewards elves in his own name while requesting elven attendants for his palace. 299 355
