Yang Fan used the Eternal Corpse Mine and War God Codex as collateral to secure a thirty-trillion-Divinity-Point loan, then searched for S-Class Resource Buildings to develop his Divine Kingdom. After learning that the Enlightenment Ancient Tree had a low return rate but suited his needs, he ordered Yang Da to buy them in bulk.

• Qin Xue offered Yang Fan a thirty-trillion-Divinity-Point loan if he pledged the Eternal Corpse Mine and War God Codex as collateral, and Yang Fan signed the contracts.
• Qin Xue confirmed the funds had reached Yang Fan's account and reminded him that her company offered escrow and intermediary services.
• Yang Fan returned to his Divine Kingdom and told Yang Da to find S-Class Resource Buildings suited to its development, excluding the Earthcore Spirit Marrow Source Nest.
• Yang Da identified the Enlightenment Ancient Tree as a suitable option but warned that its high price meant its annualized return would be only around sixty-four percent.
• Yang Fan decided to purchase Enlightenment Ancient Trees in bulk, and Yang Da began making offers.

Yang Fan’s repeated high bids drove up Dark Web prices for Earthcore Spirit Marrow Source Nests and Enlightenment Ancient Trees, drawing more sellers into the market. After Gu Tianyu warned him to sell, Yang Fan prepared to spend his remaining funds by bidding in batches at the next auction.

• Yang Fan spent over two trillion Divinity Points to buy 1,052 Earthcore Spirit Marrow Source Nests and 480 Enlightenment Ancient Trees, then spent nearly eight trillion on 2,200 nests and 3,100 trees the following month.
• Gu Tianyu learned that a mysterious buyer was paying 1.5 billion Divinity Points for the two resource buildings and instructed his group to sell its stock.
• Gu Tianyu asked his assistant to warn Yang Fan to sell his own stock, unaware that Yang Fan was the buyer driving up the market.
• Yang Fan received Gu Tianyu’s warning and welcomed the growing supply of sellers, noting that he still had twenty trillion Divinity Points available.
• When listings surged to 10,000 Earthcore Spirit Marrow Source Nests and 20,000 Enlightenment Ancient Trees, Yang Fan told Yang Da to bid in batches, offering one billion for the first 5,000 nests and 1.1 billion for the rest, with the same plan for the trees.

Yang Fan used the Dark Web’s bidding rules to buy resource buildings cheaply, sharply increasing his Divine Kingdom’s income. Gu Tianyu, unaware Yang Fan had helped drive the price surge, offered him a discounted building, leaving Yang Fan grateful and a little guilty.

• Yang Fan had Yang Da calculate bids that used all twenty trillion Divinity Points to secure nine thousand Earthcore Spirit Marrow Source Nests and ten thousand Enlightenment Ancient Trees at favorable prices.
• Yang Fan calculated that the buildings’ enhanced output would bring in enormous monthly income and planned to reinvest it while postponing Qin Xue’s interest payments.
• Gu Tianyu reviewed the Dark Web’s lower-than-expected sale prices and instructed his assistant to keep listing buildings in small batches.
• Gu Tianyu learned Yang Fan might have sold buildings too cheaply and offered to sell him one for nine hundred million Divinity Points.
• Yang Fan thanked Gu Tianyu, declined the offer because he had no financial pressure, and privately called him a truly good man.

Yang Fan expanded the Divine Kingdom’s resources while the Eternal Corpse Mine’s zombie population grew into its strongest force. He gave the zombies Corpse Cultivation techniques and assigned Yang Shi to teach them a formation, preparing them for a future Divine Kingdom War.

• Yang Fan spent his time developing the Divine Kingdom as monthly auctions and compound interest expanded his assets.
• After more than ten thousand years of Evolution, the Eternal Corpse Mine became a vast kingdom of zombies, whose numbers grew as cloned believers were transformed.
• Yang Fan reviewed the believer information and decided the zombies needed a cultivation system, so he bought Corpse Cultivation techniques and installed them in a Technique Transmission Tower.
• Yang Fan addressed the Zombie Kingdom, gave the zombies the inheritance, and urged them to cultivate and fight for the Divine Kingdom.
• Yang Fan gave Yang Shi the C-Rank formation Corpse Tide Frenzy and ordered him to guide the Zombie Kingdom in cultivating it.

Yang Shi rallied the Zombie Kings by showing them Yang San’s execution and urging them to fight for the Divine Kingdom. Meanwhile, Yang Fan focused on expanding his Divine Kingdom and building relationships, leaving the story with his wealth and social skills steadily growing.

• Yang Shi entered the Eternal Corpse Mine, silenced the hostile Zombie Kings, and announced that he had come by Divine Oracle to teach them formation techniques.
• Yang Shi showed the Zombie Kings Yang San’s execution and urged them to leave their old hatred behind and grow stronger for God.
• The Zombie Kings pledged to fight for God, and Yang Da watched the Zombie Kingdom unite through the live feed.
• Yang Fan withdrew from Divine Kingdom Wars and declined invitations to join invasions, choosing instead to invest in developing his Divine Kingdom.
• Yang Da bought more resource buildings as listings on the Dark Web increased and their purchase price fell to 1.1 billion Divinity Points.
• Yang Fan attended family banquets and private gatherings, improving his etiquette and learning to treat credibility and investment risks with care.

After Gu Le gave birth to a son, Yang Fan and Gu Xuanting agreed that the child would bear the Gu surname and be named Gu Chengye. Gu Xuanting hosted a lavish full-month banquet that welcomed Yang Fan’s parents into Primordial City, and the chapter ended with them reminding Yang Fan to treat Chengrou and Chengye equally.

• Gu Le gave birth to a healthy boy, and Gu Xuanting asked Yang Fan what he planned to name him.
• Yang Fan agreed that the child would take the Gu surname and named him Gu Chengye, making Gu Le emotional.
• Gu Tianyu sent an S-Rank Earthcore Spirit Marrow Source Nest, while Qin Xue sent a two-billion-Divinity-Point gift.
• A month later, Gu Xuanting held a grand full-month banquet in Primordial City and thanked Yang Tiexin and Sun Rou for raising Yang Fan.
• After the banquet, Yang Tiexin and Sun Rou urged Yang Fan to stay cautious around the Gu Family and not favor Gu Chengye over Chengrou.

Yang Fan reviewed his Divine Kingdom’s immense growth and decided to shift his Dark Web purchases toward war-type S-Class buildings. He left Yang Da presenting options for strengthening the army before Yang Fan’s planned attack on powerful Alien Demigods.

• Yang Fan saw that his S-Class resource buildings had transformed the Divine Kingdom and raised many believers’ natural strength, making his stockpile of F-Tier Metamorphosis Pods increasingly unnecessary.
• Yang Fan scolded Yang Da for buying too many pods and sealed his palace for one thousand years; Yang Da chose not to argue.
• Yang Fan distributed the unused Metamorphosis Pods among his parents and Luo Rou and Luo Bing, while Gu Le had no need for them.
• Yang Fan told Yang Da to find war-type S-Class buildings because he planned to expand his army and visit the Level Three area of the Foreign-Race Divine Kingdom District before leaving Primordial Academy.
• Yang Da presented the Void War Ark, Mechanical War Puppet, Immortal-Slaying Pagoda, Immortal War-Spirit Stele, and Flesh Calamity Broodmother as options suited to Yang Fan’s different forces.

Yang Fan learned that a believer had broken through to Core Formation, allowing his Divine Kingdom to use a stronger formation despite its Demigod restrictions. Yang Da urged him to become a God, but Yang Fan planned to finish the month's auction and fight in the Foreign-Race Divine Kingdom District first.

• Yang Fan directed Yang Da to keep buying S-Class War Buildings and resource buildings, then planned to enter the Foreign-Race Divine Kingdom District in three months.
• Yang Fan spent the following days with Gu Le and Gu Chengye while bidding above market price for suitable War Buildings.
• Yang Fan entered the Divine Kingdom after sensing a disturbance and found a Core Formation believer teaching tens of thousands of Foundation Establishment cultivators.
• Yang Da explained that the believer's breakthrough was an exceptionally rare breach of the Divine Kingdom's rules, but it enabled the believers to practice a B-Rank Formation.
• Yang Da urged Yang Fan to become a God, arguing that the Divine Kingdom could already contend with ordinary Gods, but Yang Fan said he would do so after the month's auction and final Demigod-stage battle.

Yang Fan prepared his Divine Kingdom for war and entered Primordial Academy’s Level Three Area to pursue his final challenge before breaking through to Godhood. There, Han Jue warned him that the imprisoned Alien Race Demigods were far more dangerous than those in the Level Two Area.

• Yang Da bought the B-Rank Four Symbols Heavenly Evolution Formation, and Yang Fan’s believers and armies began drilling with it.
• Yang Da bought additional war buildings and resource buildings through the Dark Web, bringing Yang Fan’s Divine Kingdom’s stockpile to an enormous scale.
• Yang Fan decided it was time to end his long stay at the Demigod stage and left alone for the Foreign-Race Divine Kingdom District.
• After passing the Level Two Area, Yang Fan entered the cramped Level Three Area and encountered Han Jue, who was preparing for his own final attempt.
• Han Jue explained that the imprisoned Alien Race Demigods were ancient survivors of the lower areas and advised Yang Fan to seek the Gu Family’s intelligence before challenging them.

Yang Fan chose to challenge the Vajra King Monkey Demigod in the third-level area, drawing alarm from Han Jue and the Federation’s powerful figures. He returned home to find Gu Le frightened by the risk, but reassured her that he expected to become a God soon.

• Yang Fan selected the Vajra King Monkey Demigod, confirmed the challenge, and linked his Divine Kingdom to the target’s.
• Han Jue was stunned that Yang Fan had challenged a third-level opponent without investigating it further, while Federation authorities and powerful families received the notification.
• Gu Le read the challenge alert and worried that Yang Fan might leave her and Gu Chengye widowed and orphaned.
• Yang Fan returned home and told Gu Le he had been cautious enough and would likely become a God before long.
• Gu Le remained upset that Yang Fan had taken the risk without discussing it with her.

Yang Fan led his Vanguard Army into Qitian’s forest-covered Divine Kingdom, where the Vajra King Monkey Demigod surprised him by offering a deal instead of fighting. Qitian asked Yang Fan to help secure his release in exchange for his accumulated buildings and resources.

• Yang Fan ordered the entire Vanguard Army into the enemy Divine Kingdom and sent Yang Er’s Otherworld Collectors behind them to attack and develop the territory.
• Yang Fan saw the vast forest and immense ancient tree that housed Qitian’s monkey believers.
• A force of ten thousand Fifth-Order Demon Monkeys approached, and Qitian appeared as a colossal phantom and called for Yang Fan to show himself.
• Qitian introduced himself as Qitian and asked Yang Fan to approach Human Race higher-ups about letting him out.
• Qitian showed Yang Fan more than a million stored buildings and promised his installed resource buildings as payment for help securing his release.

Yang Fan rejected Qitian’s offer of wealth in exchange for freedom and launched an invasion of Qitian’s Divine Kingdom. As his forces mobilized for a prolonged campaign, Yang Fan left the Divine Kingdom and learned that Gu Le’s father had summoned him to the Virtual World.

• Qitian offered Yang Fan all his resources and treasures if Yang Fan would help him escape, but Yang Fan said those possessions already belonged to him and demanded to see Qitian’s strength.
• Yang Fan ordered his legion to attack, and spirit-energy shells wiped out more than ten thousand Demon Monkeys in the vanguard.
• Yang Fan returned to his Divine Kingdom and ordered every army and recently purchased war building to join the campaign for a crushing victory.
• Yang Shi prepared six Flesh Calamity Broodmothers and instructed the Zombie Kings to spread corpse poison and virus through the Vajra King Monkey Tribe’s Divine Kingdom.
• Yang Fan left his Divine Kingdom and asked Gu Le about dinner, but Gu Le told him that her father had summoned him to the Virtual World.

Yang Fan accepted two Void War Arks from Gu Xuanting before continuing his invasion of Qitian’s Divine Kingdom. His forces met fierce resistance in the forest, but the Elven Legion’s archers began cutting down the Vajra King Monkeys as Qitian’s attempted counterattack stalled.

• Gu Xuanting gave Yang Fan two Void War Arks and advised him to delay the challenge if he could not defeat the third-level region’s Alien Demigods.
• Qitian panicked at the scale of Yang Fan’s invasion and ordered his adult clansmen to abandon other work and defend their Divine Kingdom.
• Yang Fan’s army pushed through a quarter of Qitian’s territory in half a year, taking advantage of Qitian’s lack of defenses in the outer regions.
• The Vajra King Monkeys used the forest and their tough bodies to slow Yang Fan’s troops when the armies collided.
• The Elven Legion attacked from the treetops, killing many Demon Monkeys, while Qitian’s elite troops failed to break through the Martial Master legions guarding Yang Fan’s command.

Yang Fan's forces pushed into the Vajra King Monkey Divine Kingdom as Qitian ordered his believers to retreat into the Thorn Jungle and Yang Shi spread infection across the realm. When Yang Si's army reached the poisoned forest, he deployed Mechanical War Puppets and Void War Arks to clear a path.

• Qitian ordered the Demon Monkeys to retreat into the Thorn Jungle after the Alien Race advanced with few casualties.
• Yang Shi directed the Zombie Kings to wound fleeing monkeys and contaminate rivers, lakes, and roads across the Divine Kingdom.
• Yang Fan promised Lingxu Zi a Divine Kingdom Core after the battle to help him reach Godhood.
• A Void Spirit Race scout reported that the Thorn Jungle's poisonous plants killed and rotted a believer who entered them.
• Yang Si received approval to deploy ten Mechanical War Puppets and two Void War Arks, then ordered Artificial Lifeforms to clear the jungle while the other believers followed through the center.

Yang Fan’s army crushed the Thorn Jungle defenses and advanced into Qitian’s Divine Kingdom, where the Zombie Virus had already infected many believers. The monkey legions collapsed into chaos as Yang Si ordered infected targets eliminated, while Yang Fan’s forces encountered an S-Class life-system defensive building deeper inside the realm.

• Yang Fan’s Mechanical War Puppets and Void War Arks destroyed most of the Thorn Jungle, and the Vajra King Monkeys failed to stop them.
• Qitian learned that contaminated water had infected nearly thirty percent of his believers, including many Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, and ordered the infected into the vanguard.
• Hundreds of millions of Demon Monkeys charged Yang Fan’s army, but the virus spread through their formations and drove them to attack one another.
• Yang Si ordered all War Weapons to eliminate infected targets, and the monkey legions’ battle lines collapsed into slaughter.
• Yang Fan’s army encountered vegetation controlled by an S-Class life-system Defensive Building, and Yang Fan told Yang Da to seek S-Class Defensive Buildings at the next Dark Web auction.

Yang Fan ordered Yang Si to unleash overwhelming War Buildings against Qitian’s Vajra King Monkey army, turning the Divine Kingdom War into a one-sided purge. As the race was destroyed, Yang Shi led his forces toward the main battlefield to claim a share of the fighting.

• Yang Fan told Yang Da to authorize Yang Si to end the war quickly.
• Yang Si deployed Mechanical War Puppets, Void War Arks, Immortal-Slaying Pagodas, and War-Spirit Steles, overwhelming the Vajra King Monkeys.
• Qitian watched his Frontline collapse and questioned how Yang Fan could possess so many S-Class War Buildings.
• The Vajra King Monkey race was destroyed, with hundreds of billions of believers killed and their remains sent for conversion into corpse qi.
• Yang Shi learned the battle was nearly over and ordered his Zombie Kings to follow him to the main battlefield for a chance to earn credit.

Yang Fan faced the defeated Qitian and offered him a final meal and a chance to fight one last battle. As the Four Symbols Heavenly Evolution Formation crushed Qitian’s remaining believers, Qitian thanked Yang Fan before fading away.

• Yang Fan descended into the Divine Kingdom Core, identified himself to Qitian, and offered the dying god a final battle.
• Qitian asked Yang Fan to buy him spirit peaches and spirit wine, and the two shared a meal above the battlefield.
• Yang Da matched the armies’ numbers and deployed the Four Symbols Heavenly Evolution Formation against the Vajra King Monkeys.
• The formation overwhelmed the monkeys, while Qitian’s Divinity and consciousness began to fade as his believers died.
• Qitian thanked Yang Fan for the meal and called him a good person.

After Qitian’s consciousness dissipated, Yang Fan absorbed the captured Divine Kingdom Cores and broke through to become a God. His Divine Kingdom expanded and transformed, leaving his expeditionary army to discover a world in the midst of rapid advancement.

• Yang Fan ordered his believers to finish their work and return to the Divine Kingdom, then collected a Divine Kingdom Core and left the battlefield.
• Yang Fan refined the Divine Kingdom Cores, causing his territory to expand past one hundred million square kilometers and then reach ten billion square kilometers.
• As the Divine Kingdom’s laws developed, its Immortal Qi spread across the new wilderness and believers began advancing across multiple cultivation systems.
• Yang Fan’s body, spirit, and consciousness transformed, and he realized that his consciousness could survive physical destruction through his bond with the Divine Kingdom.
• The expeditionary army returned to find the Divine Kingdom changed, and its believers began breaking through in large numbers.

After reaching Godhood, Yang Fan discovered that his Evolution Talent had gained the Origin Evolution authority, letting him absorb Divine Kingdom origins and seize their talents. He tested it on Qitian’s and the Undead Demigod’s cores, gained two B-Rank talents, and questioned why they were not higher ranked.

• Yang Fan issued his first Divine Oracle, expanding the Divine Kingdom to ten billion square kilometers and calling on believers to strengthen it.
• Yang Da congratulated Yang Fan on reaching Godhood and urged him to absorb the saved Divine Kingdom Cores.
• Yang Fan inspected his Divine Kingdom information and learned that Origin Evolution could strip talents from other Divine Kingdoms and make them his own.
• Yang Fan dissolved the Undead Demigod’s and Qitian’s Divine Kingdom Cores, gaining the B-Rank Diamond Body and Breeding talents.
• Yang Fan questioned why the two cores had yielded only B-Rank talents despite their owners’ strength.

Yang Fan learned that converting stolen Divine Kingdom Talents between races weakened them, then revealed to Gu Le that he had defeated the Alien Race Demigod and broken through to Godhood. He entered the Virtual World to meet Gu Xuanting, who welcomed him as a First-Order God.

• Yang Da explained that origin evolution weakened talents when converting them between races, turning the Undead Demigod’s [Proliferation] into the B-grade human talent [Breeding].
• Yang Da suggested absorbing Divine Kingdom Cores from Human Race Gods, and Yang Fan warned him to keep such thoughts unspoken to protect his standing among the Human Race’s leaders.
• Yang Fan returned to reality, where Gu Le told him that her father had reported the Alien Race Demigod’s death; she sensed Yang Fan’s divine aura, and he revealed that he had broken through to Godhood and was ready to graduate.
• Gu Le handed Yang Fan a virtual helmet and relayed Gu Xuanting’s request that he meet him in the Virtual World.
• Yang Fan met Gu Xuanting at the Gu Family Clan Grounds, where Gu Xuanting praised his breakthrough and identified him as a First-Order God.

Yang Fan received his assignment to serve ten years at the Frontline, where Gu Xuanting wanted him to develop his Divine Kingdom safely. Gu Xuanting explained the ranks and rules governing Gods and Divine Kingdom Wars, then brought out a chessboard to illustrate something further.

• Gu Xuanting gave Yang Fan a Ninth Legion identification token and said Gu Jiuheng would command him at the Frontline.
• Gu Xuanting told Yang Fan he would be stationed at the rear and should use his ten years of service to build his foundation rather than seek out danger.
• Gu Xuanting explained that Gods were ranked by Divine Kingdom Area and that Divine Kingdom laws restricted invasions across major rank differences.
• Gu Xuanting guessed Yang Fan was considering hunting weaker Foreign-Race Gods, and Yang Fan admitted he had thought about it but would not act rashly.
• Gu Xuanting brought out an ancient chessboard, placing the smallest pieces at the front and the larger ones behind them.

Gu Xuanting explained to Yang Fan how Gods used proxy wars to protect their Divine Kingdoms and why Yang Fan must keep his real body away from the Frontline. Yang Fan accepted his advice as he awaited a deployment order from Primordial Academy, though an unusual glint appeared in his eyes.

• Gu Xuanting used a game board to explain that Gods fought proxy wars to avoid the enormous costs and risks of direct Divine Kingdom Wars.
• Gu Xuanting warned Yang Fan that wars were driven by profit and advised him to use resources and connections rather than fight personally.
• Gu Xuanting explained that if Yang Fan's real body were destroyed, he could lose contact with the outside world and risk enemies discovering his Divine Kingdom Coordinates.
• Gu Xuanting told Yang Fan to rely on the Gu Family's support system and sacrifice Subordinate Gods if necessary to protect his Divine Kingdom.
• Gu Xuanting said Primordial Academy had learned Yang Fan became a God and would likely send his Frontline deployment order within a month.

After breaking through to Godhood, Yang Fan returned to reality and spent the night with Gu Le before inspecting the spoils from his battle. He learned that the captured Vajra King Monkey Divine Kingdom included a rare World Tree, which he recognized as a valuable strategic building.

• Yang Fan reassured Gu Le that Gu Xuanting had arranged for him to serve under Gu Jiuheng on the Frontline, and they celebrated his breakthrough together.
• Yang Fan inspected his Divine Kingdom, where Yang Da had begun restoring its spiritual environment by deploying Spirit Veins.
• Yang Da and Yang Yi reported that they had inventoried the Vajra King Monkey Divine Kingdom’s buildings and resources, loading compatible assets into Yang Fan’s Divine Kingdom and listing the rest for sale.
• Yang Da displayed the S-Class World Tree’s description, and Yang Fan recognized it as the source of the vines that had delayed the Mechanical War Puppets.

After the Divine Kingdom War, Yang Fan assigned the World Tree to the Elven Kingdom, expanded his support for elven civilization, and rewarded Lingxu Zi with Divine Kingdom Cores. He prepared to equip Lingxu Zi with a Robot legion so his Subordinate God could fight Demigods despite the rules restricting Yang Fan’s believers.

• Yang Da explained that the World Tree could be placed in either the Heavenly Court or the Elven Kingdom, and Yang Fan chose the Elven Kingdom to strengthen elven civilization and defend the Divine Kingdom’s central region.
• Yang Fan authorized Yang Da to buy Fountain of Life for elven war rewards and to acquire more Elven Sacred Trees, while keeping the Elven Kingdom’s military strength near one-quarter of the Divine Kingdom’s total.
• Yang Fan gave Lingxu Zi more than a dozen relatively small Divine Kingdom Cores, mostly taken from Foreign-Race Divine Kingdoms.
• Yang Fan told Lingxu Zi to win more Divine Kingdom Cores himself and said Yang Da would arrange a Robot legion for him to command, since Yang Fan’s believers could not directly attack Demigods.

Yang Fan installed the World Tree in the Elven Kingdom, then absorbed Divine Kingdom Cores and fused several Divine Kingdom Talents. The chapter left him examining the upgraded talents and their effects.

• Yang Fan rewarded Yang Yi and the other Artificial Lifeforms with fifty Mechanical Hearts each.
• Yang Da told Yang Fan the World Tree was ready, and Yang Fan brought it through a spatial rift into the Elven Kingdom.
• The World Tree transformed the Elven Kingdom, and Yang Fan issued a Divine Oracle that led the elves to pledge themselves to the Divine Kingdom.
• Yang Fan absorbed the collected Divine Kingdom Cores and discovered new talents on the Divine Kingdom information panel.
• Yang Da explained that Origin Evolution could fuse similar talents, and Yang Fan combined them into stronger talents.
• Yang Da searched the network and displayed the effects of the fused talents, including S-Rank Growth of All Things.
