Yang Fan explained his strategy of profiting from proxy wars while keeping his Divine Kingdom coordinates safe, then signed three new divine vassal contracts. He assigned Lingxu Zi to monitor the battles so he could seize any Subordinate God’s Divine Kingdom Core if they lost.

• Yang Fan told Yang Da that he would let Subordinate Gods keep ordinary spoils if they won, but seize their Divine Kingdom Cores if they lost, and cautioned Yang Da to present his plans more carefully.

• Yang Fan told Li Tianheng to keep recruiting Subordinate Gods at a slightly higher-than-market price without disrupting the Frontline market.
• Yang Fan returned to his room to arrange surveillance of the new battlefields and decided that Lingxu Zi would monitor them.

• Yang Fan gave Lingxu Zi a Subordinate God's coordinates so the Void Spirit Race could infiltrate and observe the enemy Divine Kingdom from its outskirts.
• Li Tianheng upgraded his Divine Kingdom's defenses, expanded his operations, and finalized four Divine Vassal Contracts for Yang Fan's approval.

• Yang Fan realized that five months of the allowance could buy a top-tier S-Rank building and was stunned by its value.

Gu Jiuheng explained the Gu Family’s military merit subsidy and advised Yang Fan to use his ten years of support to develop his Divine Kingdom and join profitable wars. After boasting about his 1,314 S-Class Resource Buildings, Gu Jiuheng left pleased with himself, while Yang Fan privately compared that number to his own far larger holdings.

• Gu Jiuheng told Yang Fan that the Gu Family controlled the Ninth Legion and received a share of its military merits, explaining that Yang Fan’s status earned him a monthly subsidy of ten million points for ten years.

• Yang Fan told Yang Da to buy coordinates in small, dispersed batches and prioritize at least minimum-danger Life-Type Demigods for proxy wars.
• Yang Fan returned to the Real World, where Li Tianheng negotiated with a man seeking better payment for his B-rank Spirit Farmer talent.
• The man offered Li Tianheng an extra twenty thousand Divinity Points on the contract and promised to privately return ten thousand.

Li Tianheng rejected an attempt to cheat Yang Fan, then received a large batch of Alien Race demigod coordinates and orders to invade their Divine Kingdoms. On Xiling Star, Yang Fan discussed Elephant Loans’ former student investments with Ma Yu and began considering establishing his own company in the Real World.

• Li Tianheng refused to sign a kickback deal against Yang Fan, and the man signed Li Tianheng’s contract instead.

Yang Fan rejected Ma Yu’s offer to hand over Elephant Loans for free and agreed to fund its privatization so it could become his foothold in the real world. He left Ma Yu stunned by promising one hundred trillion Divinity Points and assigning him the company’s restructuring.

• Ma Yu offered to transfer Elephant Loans to Yang Fan, explaining that he hoped Yang Fan’s backing would let him break into the Human Federation’s inner circle.
• Yang Fan decided that his goal was to build real-world influence rather than simply accumulate wealth, and he asked how much it would cost to delist Elephant Loans.
• Ma Yu estimated that buying back the publicly traded shares at a premium would cost about eight hundred billion Divinity Points.
• Yang Fan promised to transfer Ma Yu one hundred trillion Divinity Points to buy back the shares and delist the company.
• Yang Fan told Ma Yu to restructure the company and keep one percent of its shares, leaving Ma Yu astonished by the scale of the funds.

Yang Fan expanded his plans for building a real-world company and force, then transferred Ma Yu 100 trillion Divinity Points to fund the work. Ma Yu committed himself to the task, while Yang Fan stayed secluded and declined Gu Jiuheng’s invitation to join the Ninth Legion’s Divine Kingdom war.

• Yang Fan assigned company shares to Yang Chengrou and Gu Chengye, then ordered investment and sales departments to be established.
• Yang Fan withdrew from the Virtual World and decided to use his growing wealth to build a force in the real world.
• Yang Fan sent Yang Da an instruction, and Ma Yu received 100 trillion Divinity Points in his Divine Kingdom.
• Ma Yu considered running off with the money, rejected the idea, and resolved to remain loyal to Yang Fan.
• Yang Fan continued his secluded routine and politely declined Gu Jiuheng’s invitation to join the Ninth Legion and fight at the front.

Yang Fan continued developing his Divine Kingdom while avoiding a joint war that might expose his secrets. Over two months, its population, buildings, and layered defenses expanded, leaving his realm increasingly settled and fortified.

• Yang Fan declined Gu Jiuheng's invitation to join the large-scale joint war, and Gu Jiuheng accepted his decision without pressing him.
• Yang Da continued buying resource-producing and suitable S-Rank buildings through the Dark Web, while obtaining lower-grade buildings from frontline shops.
• Yang Fan's Divine Kingdom grew to more than 200 billion residents, and Yang Yi coordinated new Cities of Technology and migration incentives that expanded settled areas across most of the realm.
• Artificial Lifeforms upgraded the Divine Kingdom's defenses with City-Annihilation Cannons, F3500 Fighters, and patrol networks throughout its territory.
• Yang Fan required layered defenses across the Divine Kingdom to eliminate invasion risks, with F3500 Fighters also transporting supplies during peacetime.

Yang Fan planned to sell his Divine Kingdom’s growing resource surplus through a company Ma Yu was establishing, using it to convert resources into real-world influence. Ma Yu completed the acquisition and restructuring of Elephant Loans, and Yang Fan confirmed the changes as Ma Yu greeted him as chairman.

• Yang Fan noted that his Divine Kingdom’s resource reserves kept growing and decided the new company would sell its surplus resources to wealthy gods.
• Yang Fan considered how companies and tax structures could make large-scale sales less conspicuous and help navigate Federation rules.
• Ma Yu reported that he had acquired roughly fifty percent of Elephant Loans’ shares and secured the rest through agreements with existing shareholders.
• Ma Yu presented Yang Fan with the share transfers, restructuring plan, governance provisions, and asset breakdown.
• Yang Fan reviewed the documents and confirmed the restructuring, after which Ma Yu greeted him as the chairman.

Yang Fan and Ma Yu settled on the name Yang Group for their restructured company, and Ma Yu began preparing its business plans. Yang Fan then learned that all three subordinate gods had won their Divine Kingdom Wars and ordered their captured realms harvested.

• Yang Fan appointed Ma Yu general manager and considered naming the company Yang Twelve Group.
• Yang Da proposed Yang One Hundred Group, but Ma Yu suggested Yang Group, which Yang Fan approved.

• Yang Da told Yang Fan that all three subordinate gods had won their Divine Kingdom Wars.
• Yang Fan ordered the Otherworld Collectors to harvest the three Foreign-Race Divine Kingdoms, giving lower-grade spoils to the subordinate gods and returning valuable assets and Divine Kingdom Cores to his Divine Kingdom.

Yang Fan began recruiting Subordinate Gods at market rates while granting them limited spoils from victories, and he approved Ma Yu’s plans for the Yang Group’s investments, talent reserves, and sales. He then entered the Virtual World to inspect the completed Yang Group headquarters on Xiling Star.

• Yang Fan sent Yang Da over a hundred million Otherworld Collectors to develop the three Alien Race Demigods’ Divine Kingdoms, and the Subordinate Gods hoped to sign another contract with him later.

• Yang Fan approved Ma Yu’s initial investment plan and promised to inject another hundred trillion Divinity Points into the Yang Group.
• Ma Yu warned that Xiling Star could not absorb such a large sum quickly, and Yang Fan told him to grow the company’s influence across the star region.
• Yang Fan instructed Ma Yu to screen investment candidates from the Primordial Academy and the Starry Sky Academy and prepare contracts for him to negotiate.
• Yang Fan told Ma Yu to sell spirit stones at market price and earthcore spirit marrow and enlightenment tea at 1.2 times the market rate, then sent him coordinates for a resource handoff.
• Yang Fan left the Virtual World and transferred a hundred trillion Divinity Points to the Yang Group’s account.
• A finance supervisor rushed to Ma Yu and reported that another hundred trillion Divinity Points had arrived.

• Ma Yu ordered Elephant Loans employees to work through the year in exchange for tenfold year-end bonuses.
• Yang Fan’s victories and rewards spread his reputation, and Li Tianheng accepted demigods with Class C or higher Divine Kingdom talents as vassals.

• Luo Hai, Luo Chengfeng, Luo Bing, and Yang Tiexin arrived at the Frontline Port, where Yang Tiexin felt overwhelmed by the powerful beings around him.
• Luo Hai led the group toward Yang Fan’s residence to meet him and discuss business arranged by Ma Yu.

Yang Tiexin, Luo Bing, and three members of the Luo family visited Yang Fan at the Frontline and were astonished by its busy trading district and exclusive villa neighborhood. They found Yang Fan at his spacious villa, where Yang Tiexin proudly described his new business and offered his son his savings; Yang Fan welcomed everyone to stay the night.

• The five visitors traveled through the Frontline’s crowded housing and bustling trading district before reaching its quiet villa neighborhood.
• Luo Hai checked the coordinates repeatedly and hesitated to ring the bell at Yang Fan’s large detached villa, but Yang Tiexin pressed it.

• Yang Tiexin said he had become a leading figure in Xiling Star’s business world and offered Yang Fan his saved Divinity Points.
• Yang Fan declined the money and invited the group inside to stay overnight.

After Yang Tiexin fell asleep, Luo Xuan entered the Virtual World to report back to Rao Mingming about his attempt to ease their family’s strained ties with Yang Fan.

• Yang Tiexin explored Yang Fan’s villa, admired its robots and artificial lifeform, and decided its accommodations surpassed their home on Xiling Star.
• Luo Hai arranged for Luo Bing to stay at the villa overnight with Yang Fan, hoping she would have a chance to conceive a child.
• Luo Hai told Luo Chengfeng that he had worked through Sun Rong and Yang Tiexin to secure the opportunity for Luo Bing.
• Luo Chengfeng reflected on how his investment in Yang Fan had brought the Luo Family great fortune and helped his great-grandson Yang Chengrou gain shares in the Yang Group.
• Yang Tiexin played with the villa’s technology until he grew tired and fell asleep, while Luo Xuan kept watch beside him.
• Luo Xuan entered the Virtual World and told his anxious wife, Rao Mingming, about the visit, as she hoped his friendship with Yang Tiexin would help repair their family’s relationship with Yang Fan.

Luo Xuan ordered his family to erase Luo Mingxuan from their records and cultivate a friendship with Sun Rong to secure favor with Yang Tiexin. Yang Fan and Luo Bing spent the night together, and the group departed with valuable resources for the Yang Group; Luo Hai then told Luo Bing to get a full medical examination upon their return.

• Luo Xuan ordered Rao Mingming to remove Luo Mingxuan from the family genealogy and dispose of his ashes in Yang County, explaining that they needed to avoid giving anyone leverage over them.

• Luo Hai told Luo Bing to have the robot doctor give her a full examination when they returned.

Luo Chengfeng warned Luo Hai that the Luo Family had to stay within its limits and act cautiously on Xiling Star. Yang Fan reviewed two investment candidates and arranged to interview them in the Virtual World, where Ma Mian and Niu Tou were surprised by the Yang Group’s strength.

• Luo Bing complained that Yang Fan had given Chengrou only one percent of the shares, and Luo Hai sharply told her to watch her words.
• Luo Chengfeng urged Luo Hai to guide Luo Bing and the Luo Family, explaining that their position on Xiling Star depended on Chairman Yang rather than their own strength.
• Luo Hai entrusted Luo Chengfeng and Luo Xuan with handling the Luo Family’s affairs, and Luo Xuan was glad to regain an important role.
• Yang Fan reviewed investment contracts for Ma Mian of the Primordial Academy and Niu Tou of the Starry Sky Academy, then told Ma Yu to arrange personal interviews.
• Yang Fan entered the Virtual World headquarters, where Ma Mian and Niu Tou saw the Yang Group’s imposing building, powerful staff, and ownership of a life-bearing planet.

Yang Fan recruited Ma Mian and Niu Tou into the Yang Group with generous investment terms, then offered ten million Divinity Points for each of their Foreign-Race Divine Kingdom District challenge opportunities. The two accepted the jobs but were stunned by the purchase contracts and asked whether Yang Fan was serious.

• Ma Mian and Niu Tou asked Yang Fan about compensation and equity, and Yang Fan introduced himself as the Yang Group's chairman.
• Ma Mian recognized Yang Fan as the academy graduate who became a god in his third year and joined the Gu Family, and both students grew eager to join the group.

• Yang Fan offered to pay ten million Divinity Points for each student's challenge opportunity in the Foreign-Race Divine Kingdom District and gave them contracts to review.
• Ma Mian and Niu Tou read the contracts in shock, and Ma Mian asked Yang Fan whether he was joking.

Yang Fan offered Ma Mian and Niu Tou an agreement to wage Divine Kingdom Wars without sending their believers into battle, while keeping their Divine Kingdom coordinates private. They accepted the terms and signed the contracts, becoming Yang Fan’s subordinates.

• Yang Fan offered to fund chemical warfare through the Yang Group so Ma Mian and Niu Tou could weaken enemy Divine Kingdoms without risking their believers.

• Niu Tou asked how they would defend against a reverse invasion, and Yang Fan offered to pay them twenty million Divinity Points in advance for defensive buildings.
• Ma Mian and Niu Tou signed the investment contract and cooperation agreement, then bowed to Yang Fan and greeted him as their Chairman.

Yang Fan secured Ma Mian and Niu Tou’s secrecy about the Yang Group’s plan to trade academy entry slots for access to powerful alien demigods, then expanded preparations to conquer their Divine Kingdoms.

• Yang Fan told Ma Mian and Niu Tou to develop their Divine Kingdoms, share news of their investment contracts, and keep the cooperation agreement secret.

• Yang Fan considered the resources needed to conquer the unusually powerful demigods in the academies’ Foreign-Race Divine Kingdom Districts without losing soldiers.
• Ten days later, Yang Fan sensed a breakthrough in his Divine Kingdom while visiting Gu Le and Gu Chengye in the Virtual World, then returned to reality to investigate.
• Yang Fan entered his Divine Kingdom and found that Yang Da had advanced after a Fourth-Tier Artificial Lifeform was born.

Yang Fan discovered that gaining a Fourth-Tier Artificial Lifeform had greatly increased his Spiritual Power and granted him the ability to rearrange matter. He ordered Yang Da to invest even more heavily in Mechanical Civilization so the Divine Kingdom could grow stronger.

• Yang Da explained that Mechanical Civilization depended on abundant resources and could evolve through continuous manufacturing and refinement.
• Yang Fan sensed that Mechanical Civilization had advanced far beyond the Divine Kingdom’s other systems and attributed his own surge in strength to the Fourth-Tier Artificial Lifeform.
• Yang Fan used his Spiritual Power to transform wood into iron, copper, and gold, realizing that this was the Mechanical Path’s ability called Creation.
• Yang Fan recognized that Mechanical Gods could amass immense wealth once their costly civilization matured and reflected that his own money-making ability could improve further.
• Yang Fan ordered Yang Da to buy resources for Mechanical Civilization and prioritize strengthening the Divine Kingdom over earning income.

Yang Fan approved major investments in his Divine Kingdom’s war weapons, declined Gu Jiuheng’s suggestion to join the Ninth Legion, and let Sima Tianci lounge in his courtyard. When Luo Hai arrived to collect goods with Luo Bing, a stranger answered Yang Fan’s door.

• Yang Da reported plans for large-scale war weapons, and Yang Fan approved their resource costs without requiring future reports.
• Yang Fan spent a month at the Frontline Villa discussing current affairs with Gu Jiuheng and Sima Tianci, then declined Gu Jiuheng’s suggestion that he join the Ninth Legion.
• Sima Tianci began visiting Yang Fan’s villa to sunbathe, and Yang Fan eventually let him stay while he went to the Virtual World.
• Luo Hai returned to collect goods with Luo Bing, but an unfamiliar voice answered Yang Fan’s door and left Luo Hai confused.

Sima Tianci met Luo Bing and gave her a Rank A spirit vein before leaving Yang Fan’s villa. After a quiet stretch, Yang Fan sent Luo Hai back with resources and special medicines, then learned that the contracted Subordinate Gods had finished their Divine Kingdom Wars and that a Human Race demigod with the Class C talent 'Flesh Mountain' was nearing his limit.

• Sima Tianci came out of Yang Fan’s villa, met Luo Hai and Luo Bing, and gave Luo Bing a Rank A spirit vein as a gift.
• Yang Fan welcomed Luo Hai and Luo Bing, then spent the night with Luo Bing while Luo Hai stayed hidden in another room.
• The next morning, Yang Fan gave Luo Hai Resource Cards and instructed him to transport the sealed special medicines directly to the Yang Group’s warehouse.
• After a month in Yang Fan’s routine and about twenty days in the Real World, the contracted Subordinate Gods completed their Divine Kingdom Wars, and Yang Da sent Otherworld Collectors to gather resources.
• Lingxu Zi reported to Yang Fan that a Human Race demigod with the Class C talent 'Flesh Mountain' was almost at his limit.

Yang Fan watched a human subordinate’s Divine Kingdom face destruction by an Alien Race demigod’s Rank A War Structure and ordered Robots to seize the enemy’s Divine Kingdom Core if it fell. The human demigod’s last hopes of aid and rescue vanished as his family ran out of credit and Yang Fan rejected his 243rd request.

• Lingxu Zi showed Yang Fan footage of a thousand-zhang Flesh Mountain crushing the human demigod’s defenses as Cannibal Race warriors advanced toward his Divine Kingdom Core.
• Yang Da reported that Yang Fan had rejected 242 requests for aid, and Yang Fan ordered the Robot legion to retrieve the Core if the Divine Kingdom fell to prevent his own coordinates from being exposed.
• Yang Da told Yang Fan that the Mechanical Civilization had completed its upgrade and prepared new war weapons for testing.
• The human demigod’s Number One reported that financial companies had refused further credit, his father had exhausted the family’s borrowing options, and Yang Fan had rejected a 243rd request for aid.
