The Undead Demigod grew desperate as Yang Fan’s steady resource investment forced its forces deeper into its Divine Kingdom, then ordered them to prepare for a final battle. Yang Fan arrived on the battlefield as two enormous mobile steel cities emerged from the Undead Divine Kingdom.

• The Undead Demigod’s advisers urged it to withdraw again, but it killed one adviser and refused to keep surrendering territory.

• The Undead Demigod ordered its followers to bring out the captured Human Race buildings to use as transportation for their charge.
• Yang Fan descended onto the Divine Kingdom Battlefield after Yang San reported the enemy’s preparations.
• Two thousand-zhang steel giants emerged from the Undead Divine Kingdom, carrying dense ranks of Undead Race believers and bristling with weapons.

Yang Fan’s forces attacked the Undead Race as they emerged in an S-Class Mechanical War Puppet and Nine Nether River. The Undead Demigod resolved to survive by winning or prolonging the war until Yang Fan left.

• Yang Da identified the Mechanical War Puppet and Nine Nether River as valuable S-Class Buildings, and Yang Fan recognized how useful the river’s healing waters would be to his believers.
• Yang Fan ordered his forces to attack before the Undead Race could fully emerge, and the World-Anchoring Profound Heaven Great Wall opened fire on the Nine Nether River.
• Adult Elves shot Holy Water-coated arrows through openings in the Mechanical War Puppet, killing large numbers of Undead Race members.
• Laser fire struck the legion behind the puppet, and the life aura suppressed the Undead Race enough that even Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment experts died in droves.
• The Undead Demigod regretted his defensive choices but decided to survive by winning the war or dragging it out until Yang Fan left.

Yang Fan’s forces continued wearing down the Undead Race army as it advanced, while Yang Da prepared a concealed attack under cover of a vast fog bank. The Undead Demigod’s adviser identified the Nine Nether River as the likely target and urged its defenses to be reinforced.

• Yang Fan approved Yang Da’s plan to send a surprise force toward the Mechanical War Puppets, accepting the risk of limited losses.
• Yang Fan’s legions continued their bombardment as the Undead Race counterattacked with spells, while the elves rotated through the exhausting work of firing and resupplying.
• Yang Da moved roughly one hundred thousand elite troops into position and ordered smoke bombs fired until fog covered a thousand-kilometer stretch of battlefield.
• The Undead adviser warned the Undead Demigod that the fog could conceal an attack on the Nine Nether River and leave the legions behind their formations exposed.
• The Undead Demigod ordered reinforcements sent to the Nine Nether River.

Yang Fan’s surprise force entered the Mechanical War Puppets through a hidden passage, then launched a coordinated attack on the Undead Race inside. The assault began with the Undead caught off guard as Human Race firepower poured into the war buildings.

• Yang Fan ordered the final assault, and the Human Race turned its cannons, flying swords, and arrows on the Mechanical War Puppets.
• The Undead Race inside the Mechanical War Puppets cried out to defend as attacks penetrated the gaps in their armor.

Yang Fan’s forces overwhelmed the Undead Race inside the two Mechanical War Puppets with Holy Water and coordinated attacks, then seized control of both S-Class War Buildings. The puppets stopped and shook off the climbing undead as Yang Fan ordered Yang Da to demonstrate their power.

• Human believers opened the iron doors and bombarded the undead inside the Mechanical War Puppets with Holy Water, weakening them and disrupting their defenses.
• The Human army and long-range fire support slaughtered the weakened undead while the Undead Race army climbed the puppets to reclaim them.
• The Undead Demigod learned that the Humans had targeted the Mechanical War Puppets, killed an adviser in fury, and feared his path to a Divine Kingdom had ended.
• Second-Tier Artificial Lifeforms reached the control area and completed the transfer of highest authority to the Human Mechanical Civilization.
• The two Mechanical War Puppets stopped and shook violently, throwing off the undead clinging to them, and Yang Da told Yang Fan he had gained control.
• Yang Fan ordered Yang Da to show the Undead Race the might of the S-Class War Buildings.

Yang Fan’s Mechanical War Puppets devastated the Undead Race, but he kept his cautious strategy as the Undead Demigod prepared a desperate final gamble. The chapter ended with Yang Da urgently calling Yang Fan into the Divine Kingdom.

• Yang Fan deployed two Mechanical War Puppets, which unleashed overwhelming firepower and slaughtered the Undead Race army.
• Yang Fan rejected Yang Da’s suggestion to change their strategy and continued investing Holy Water and resources to avoid taking risks.
• The Undead Demigod realized his forces were trapped, their death aura depleted, and the Eternal Corpse Mine could not save them.
• The Undead Demigod ordered his followers to sacrifice everything and open the Sacrificial Formation.
• Yang Da urgently told Yang Fan to enter the Divine Kingdom.

Yang Fan watched the Undead Race activate a Sacrificial Formation that restored its fallen low-level troops and filled the Divine Kingdom with deathly aura. He reinforced the Frontline against the advancing undead and, as the battle continued, deployed a colossal Void War Ark.

• Yang Da identified the enormous formation as a Sacrificial Formation that consumed vast resources and could generally be used only once.
• The formation reversed the holy water's effects, spread deathly aura through the Divine Kingdom, and revived hundreds of billions of fallen undead.
• Yang Fan ordered twenty billion more troops from the Divine Kingdom to join the Frontline as the undead advanced toward the World-Anchoring Profound Heaven Great Wall.
• The Great Wall's spells, Intelligent Weapons, and City-Annihilation Cannons tore through the undead tide while the S-Rank Mechanical War Puppets swept the battlefield with laser fire.
• Yang Fan ordered Yang San to deploy One Void War Ark, which expanded into a colossal warship hundreds of kilometers long above the battlefield.

Yang Fan’s forces overwhelmed the Undead Race with the Void War Ark and other reinforcements, prompting the Undead Demigod to beg to become his Subordinate God. After Yang Fan questioned his motives, the Undead Demigod ordered weaker believers to sacrifice themselves and replenish his Divine Kingdom, and Yang Fan commanded his troops to seize its core.

• The Void War Ark descended and its cannons vaporized millions of Undead Race members as Yang Fan’s reinforcements joined the battle.
• Yang Da and Lingxu Zi praised Yang Fan while he watched the battle from the World-Anchoring Profound Heaven Great Wall.
• The Undead Demigod appeared, knelt before Yang Fan, and asked to become his Subordinate God in exchange for serving as cannon fodder.
• Yang Fan questioned whether the Undead Demigod was hiding another plan, and the Demigod ordered believers below the Qi Refining Realm to detonate themselves and restore the Divine Kingdom’s deathly aura.
• Yang Fan ordered his forces to deploy and seize the Undead Race’s Divine Kingdom Core.

Yang Fan defeated the Undead Demigod and discovered a trove of Divine Kingdom Cores, including those taken from three Human Prodigies. Back in reality, Gu Le celebrated his victory and told him the Gu Family would host a banquet in his honor that night.

• Yang Fan refused to take the Undead Demigod as a Subordinate God and sent an elite army to test the defeated Divine Kingdom’s defenses.
• Yang Fan’s forces extracted the Divine Kingdom Core, and Yang San’s Ten Halls of Yama Formation killed the Undead Demigod.
• Yang Fan discovered forty or fifty Divine Kingdom Cores, including three belonging to Human Prodigies, and ordered his believers to develop the captured Divine Kingdom and report their gains.
• Yang Fan returned to reality, where Gu Le embraced him and explained that news of his victory had spread.
• Gu Le told Yang Fan that her father had arranged a Gu Family banquet for him that night, and she shared a poem she had written for him.

Yang Fan attended a Gu Family dinner with Gu Le, where influential young members and associates of the family welcomed him and explored possible business and military connections. He left the gathering with new contacts as the guests discussed plans affecting multiple Life Stars.

• Yang Fan arrived at the Gu Family villa with Gu Le, drawing the attention of the dinner guests.
• Gu Jiuheng greeted Yang Fan, resumed the music, and began introducing him to influential members of the gathering.
• Gu Tianyu and Qin Xue raised possible cooperation and financing with Yang Fan, who responded politely without committing.
• The guests discussed Divine Kingdom investment, Frontline affairs, interstellar trade, and development plans for Life Stars.
• The attendees exchanged contact information before the banquet ended.

After resting from the war, Yang Fan helped clear the Undead Race Divine Kingdom and learned the scale of its hidden assets. Yang Da revealed that its most valuable prize was the Eternal Corpse Mine, a restricted S-Class building with immense strategic value.

• Yang Fan thanked Gu Le for Gu Xuanting’s connections, held Gu Le, and fell asleep after the exhausting war.
• Yang Fan entered the Divine Kingdom the next morning, where Yang Da had organized the believers to clear and inventory the Undead Race’s assets overnight.
• Yang Da reported that the haul included thirty S-Rank Buildings and five hundred thousand Rank A Buildings, including several buildings absent from known data.
• Yang Da explained that the Undead Demigod had possessed fifteen Earthcore Spirit Marrow Source Nests and two hundred thousand Spirit Veins that he had not converted into combat power.
• Yang Da showed Yang Fan the Eternal Corpse Mine’s specifications: it could occupy up to a third of the Divine Kingdom, nurture death-aligned resources, and was forbidden from entering alien forces.

Yang Fan examined the captured S-Class Buildings and loaded several into his Divine Kingdom, while realizing the Eternal Corpse Mine might be more valuable than it first appeared. After loading the mine, he discovered that its skeletal soldiers immediately collapsed into bones, leaving its potential use unresolved.

• Yang Da explained the Eternal Corpse Mine and the other S-Class Buildings, and Yang Fan considered evolving the mine rather than handing it to the Federation.
• Yang Fan ordered the Myriad Dao Evolution Temple, the Nine Nether River, and the Earthcore Spirit Marrow Source Nests loaded into his Divine Kingdom.
• The Myriad Dao Evolution Temple descended into the City of Trade, subtly changing the Divine Kingdom's rules.
• The Nine Nether River flowed through the Myriad Forms Martial Court, and Yang Fan proclaimed its benefits to his believers.
• Yang Fan loaded the Eternal Corpse Mine near the Dimensional Research Institute and the Cloning Nutrient Pods.
• The mine's barracks produced skeletal soldiers whose soul flames went out at once, causing them to collapse into bones.

Yang Fan transformed the Eternal Corpse Mine into a breeding ground for zombies, hoping to develop an intelligent zombie cultivation system. After ordinary zombies absorbed the mine’s Corpse Miasma, many broke through into Zombie Generals, and the transformations continued across the mine.

• Yang Fan recognized the Eternal Corpse Mine’s hidden Skeleton Barracks and ordered them sealed for a future sale.
• Yang Fan learned that zombies could turn the mine’s deathly aura into Corpse Miasma and ordered human zombies moved there while ape zombies and cloned Alien Race corpses were converted into more miasma.
• Yang Da expanded the Cloning Nutrient Pods, sold the Dimensional Research Institute, and transformed the mine with Corpse Flowers and yin-attributed spirit plants.
• Hundreds of billions of zombies absorbed the mine’s Corpse Miasma as their bodies grew stronger.
• An Ordinary Zombie became a Zombie General with a trace of intelligence, and many more zombies began breaking through across the mine.

After the Divine Kingdom defeated the Undead Demigod, Yang Fan rewarded the Artificial Lifeforms and Lingxu Zi for their service. He gave Lingxu Zi ten Divine Kingdom Cores and promised resources to help the Void Spirit Race grow stronger.

• Yang Fan reviewed his Divine Kingdom's resources and called Yang Da, the Artificial Lifeforms, and Lingxu Zi to gather.
• Yang Fan awarded Yang Yi, Yang Er, and Yang San Mechanical Hearts, granting Yang San the right to allocate 100 million Divinity Points.
• Yang Fan rewarded Yang Si through Yang Shi with thirty Mechanical Hearts each.
• Yang Fan temporarily unsealed Yang Da's palace after Yang Da asked for it as his reward.
• Yang Fan recognized the Void Spirit Race's intelligence work and gave Lingxu Zi ten Divine Kingdom Cores, along with a promise of cultivation resources for his believers.

Yang Fan directed Yang Da to preserve funds and develop the Zombie Dao into a future weapon against enemy Divine Kingdoms. Ten days later, he discovered the zombies had organized around their first Zombie Kings and were pleading with him for guidance.

• Yang Fan told Yang Da to stop buying F-Tier Metamorphosis Pods with Divine Kingdom funds and to seek resources for cultivating Zombie Kings.
• Yang Fan planned to use zombies to infiltrate enemy Divine Kingdoms, spread corpse poison, and grow stronger by consuming flesh or absorbing corpse qi.
• Ten days later, Yang Da summoned Yang Fan after the first Zombie King appeared in the Divine Kingdom.
• Yang Fan saw Zombie Kings, millions of Zombie Generals, and hundreds of billions of zombies gathered in an orderly congregation around a bone altar.
• The lead Zombie King asked Yang Fan for guidance, saying the zombies had been harmed by treacherous villains and had no family or direction.

After Zombie Kings and Zombie Generals recovered memories of being experimented on, Yang Fan rejected Yang San’s proposal to send them into war and instead staged a Divine Oracle to reassure them and punish Yang San. Yang Fan appeared before the zombies and apologized for coming too late, leaving them convinced that their god had not abandoned them.

• Zombie Kings and millions of Zombie Generals knelt before Yang Fan and asked him to guide them after recovering memories of their past.
• Yang Da explained that the zombies were frightened and needed a Divine Oracle, so Yang Fan summoned Yang San to discuss the problem.
• Yang San proposed using the zombies in war, but Yang Fan reprimanded him and declared the intelligent zombies part of the Divine Kingdom’s future.
• Yang Fan ordered Yang Da to prepare a projection, then accused Yang San before the zombies and showed a staged scene of him suffering at their hands.
• Yang Fan announced that Yang San would be sent to another world to endure ten thousand years of torment, and the zombies rejoiced that their god had noticed them.
• Yang Fan manifested above the mine and told the zombies that he had come too late, as they praised him for not abandoning them.

Yang Fan reassured the intelligent zombies that he would support their cultivation and protect them from becoming a danger to the Divine Kingdom. Yang Da later revealed that Yang San’s apparent punishment was a cover, and secretly rewarded him for his loyalty.

• Yang Fan told the Zombie Kings and Zombie Generals that he would not abandon them and promised to invest resources in their future.
• Yang Fan fed Alien Race corpses into the Life Essence Conversion Pool, allowing the zombies to absorb corpse qi and grow stronger.
• Yang Da reported that he had hidden Yang San underground and would begin cloning from the genes of outstanding believers under Yang Fan’s orders.
• Yang Da visited the dejected Yang San and revealed that the loss of his military authority had only been staged to explain matters to the believers.
• Yang Da secretly gave Yang San two hundred Mechanical Hearts and praised him for proposing the Zombie Path with loyalty to Yang Fan and the Divine Kingdom.

Yang Da gave Yang San a new identity as Yang Shi and entrusted him with command of the Zombie Legion. Later, Gu Tianyu visited Yang Fan and offered an enormous price for the Eternal Corpse Mine, but Yang Fan refused because he still needed it.

• Yang Da told Yang San that the master had chosen the name Yang Shi and assigned him command of the Zombie Legion.
• Yang Shi received two hundred Mechanical Hearts and vowed not to disappoint his master.
• Yang Fan awoke beside Gu Le, then welcomed Gu Tianyu when he visited their home that afternoon.
• Gu Tianyu offered one trillion Divinity Points and a nearby life planet for Yang Fan's Eternal Corpse Mine, explaining that he could smuggle it to other races.
• Yang Fan refused to sell or consign the mine because he had another use for it in his Divine Kingdom.

Yang Fan learned about the Dark Web from Gu Tianyu, who gave him special coordinates after declining to buy his buildings. Yang Fan used the coordinates to enter the hidden network, where he found countless floating houses surrounding a vast sphere made of data and symbols.

• Yang Fan offered Gu Tianyu an S-Class Void Energy Core, Undead Land, and Skeleton Barracks, and Gu Tianyu recommended auctioning them on the Dark Web.
• Gu Tianyu gave Yang Fan special coordinates and left, asking him to consider Gu Tianyu when he obtained valuable goods on the front lines.
• Gu Le told Yang Fan that Gu Tianyu was a legendary businessman but said she had never heard of the Dark Web.
• Yang Fan ordered Yang Da to use the coordinates and bring his consciousness to the Dark Web.
• Yang Fan and Yang Da arrived in a small house, where Yang Fan saw countless similar houses and a colossal sphere made of data and rule fragments.

Yang Fan discovered that the Dark Web connected the networks of many races and hosted auctions for valuable goods, including S-Class and SS-Class Buildings. Back in his Divine Kingdom, he examined the listings and asked Yang Da about their final prices.

• Yang Fan sensed powerful Human Race and Foreign-Race Gods in the Dark Web's rooms, then received its rules and learned that a mysterious Artificial Lifeform ran the platform.
• Yang Da explained that the Dark Web connected the networks of different races and auctioned goods monthly, with a minimum transaction threshold of one billion Divinity Points.
• Yang Fan and Yang Da returned to the Divine Kingdom to discuss the Dark Web safely and review its listings.
• Yang Fan saw numerous S-Class Buildings and inaccessible SS-Class Buildings listed for auction, then asked Yang Da about their final transaction prices.

Yang Fan learned how the Dark Web traded S-Class Buildings and decided to sell two Spirit Vein Star coordinates to fund a long-term plan to expand his Divine Kingdom. He chose to remain a Demigod for now and entered the Gu Family’s Resource Star Trading Zone to meet buyers.

• Yang Da explained that Dark Web prices fluctuated widely and that monthly auctions traded high-end buildings across many races.
• Yang Fan realized he could use his Hundredfold Evolution Talent to replace resource stars with Earthcore Spirit Marrow Source Nests and multiply his Divinity Point income.
• Yang Da reported that 142 Earthcore Spirit Marrow Source Nests were listed for the upcoming auction, and Yang Fan ordered him to sell two Spirit Vein Star coordinates through the Gu Family’s channels.
• Yang Fan rejected rushing to buy combat-focused buildings and decided to build his Divine Kingdom’s economic foundation while remaining at the Demigod stage.
• Yang Da began contacting buyers in the Gu Family’s Resource Star Trading Zone as Yang Fan entered the Virtual World and opened a trade invitation.

Yang Fan completed the sale of a Spirit Vein Star and directed his Divine Kingdom to spend its funds expanding its Earthcore Spirit Marrow Source Nests. As the Divine Kingdom grew and the Gu Family drew him closer, he remained poised to become a god whenever he chose.

• Yang Fan signed a contract to sell a Spirit Vein Star for 100 billion Divinity Points and told the buyer to coordinate the takeover with his artificial lifeform.
• Over the next five days, Yang Fan managed his Divine Kingdom, studied, and spent time with Gu Le, his family, and friends.
• Yang Da reported that the Dark Web auction bought 130 Earthcore Spirit Marrow Source Nests and sold the Void Energy Core and the Undead Land and Skeleton Barracks, leaving 158 billion Divinity Points in liquid funds.
• Yang Fan ordered Yang Da to prioritize buying more Earthcore Spirit Marrow Source Nests and to sell Spirit Vein Star Coordinates if funds ran short.
• Gu Xuanting brought Yang Fan into the Gu Family's core circle and urged him to buy Divine Kingdom Coordinates and a Divine Kingdom Core so he could break through to godhood.
• Yang Fan kept his ability to become a god at any time secret, with dozens of unabsorbed Divine Kingdom Cores already in his Divine Kingdom.

Yang Fan reflected on the vast wealth gap between Gods and realized that position, not strength alone, determined wealth. In his Divine Kingdom, the Elven Ancient Tree transformed into the Elven Sacred Tree, and the Adult Elves evolved into Elven Warriors.

• Yang Fan bought 523 Earthcore Spirit Marrow Source Nests at auction, bringing his total to 679 and increasing his monthly income from Earthcore Spirit Marrow to 67.9 billion Divinity Points.
• Yang Fan recognized that even his wealth was small beside the fortunes wielded by powerful Gods, and he resolved to build his own standing in the wider world.
• Yang Fan sensed a change in his Divine Kingdom and saw the Elven Ancient Tree gather life energy as it grew to cover the Elven Kingdom.
• The Elven Ancient Tree transformed into the Elven Sacred Tree, marked by golden patterns and leaves.
• The Adult Elves underwent a collective evolution, and their bows changed as they advanced into Elven Warriors.

Yang Fan decided to sell the Elven Kingdom’s obsolete buildings and maintain his high-priced purchases of Earthcore Spirit Marrow Source Nests despite a funding shortfall. He contacted Qin Xue for financing, and she invited him to call her sis as they prepared to discuss business.

• Yang Fan ordered the Elven Kingdom to sell its Moonwell and Sun Spring buildings and promised to buy more Fountains of Life if they earned great merit.
• Yang Da reported that over 1,300 Earthcore Spirit Marrow Source Nests were listed for auction and the Divine Kingdom could not afford them all, but Yang Fan refused to lower his offer of 1.5 billion Divinity Points.
• Yang Fan kept the funding problem from Gu Le and decided to seek financing from Qin Xue, a prominent lender to Gods and major figures.
• Yang Fan contacted Qin Xue and traveled to meet her in the Virtual World.
• Qin Xue greeted Yang Fan and asked him to call her sis instead of President Qin.

Yang Fan negotiated a loan with Qin Xue and received an offer of one hundred trillion Divinity Points at twenty percent annual interest, with no fixed repayment date for the principal. When he asked to borrow even more, Qin Xue said he would need to provide collateral.

• Yang Fan called Qin Xue “Sister Qin Xue” and discussed his funding needs over Enlightenment Tea.
• Qin Xue offered Yang Fan a credit limit of one hundred trillion Divinity Points based on his status and the company's risk assessment.
• Qin Xue explained that the loan carried twenty percent annual interest and allowed the principal to be postponed indefinitely as long as interest was paid.
• Yang Fan asked to borrow more than one hundred trillion Divinity Points, prompting Qin Xue to require collateral for a higher credit limit.
