• Cao Wang told the class that arena battles would be the first College Entrance Exam test, worth 100 credits, and that students ranked in the county’s top ten thousand could receive full marks without taking it.

Cao Wang explained that war between Divine Kingdoms was driven by the struggle for resources and taught Class One the three skills required of War School students. He then assigned them a four-month competition to explore and gather resources from a dead First-Order Foreign-Race God’s Divine Kingdom, where the chapter left them preparing to compete for the top ranking.

• Cao Wang told Luo Bing and Class One that Gods fought to strengthen their Divine Kingdoms and secure resources, even as their wars protected Human Race civilization.
• Cao Wang asked Li Tianheng about invading a Foreign-Race Divine Kingdom, then explained the need to defeat its believers, defend their own kingdom, and collect resources.

• Cao Wang announced that students would explore the coordinates of a dead First-Order Foreign-Race God’s Divine Kingdom, whose core assets the school had already taken.
• Cao Wang set a four-month competition with 120 years of exploration time, advised students to form teams, and promised school investment in strategic resources to the winner before leaving the Virtual World.

After his classmates formed exploration teams, Yang Fan chose to explore the Divine Kingdom alone and sought a way to afford an Exploration High-End Artificial Lifeform. He mortgaged the Enlightenment Stone for a 100-billion-Faith-Point loan, leaving him with the funds to pursue his exploration plan and a debt accruing daily interest.

• Class One split into teams led by Luo Bing and Li Tianheng, while Yang Fan was left out and logged out of the Virtual World.
• Yang Fan entered the Divine Kingdom and asked Yang Yi for advice, learning that exploring alone would be slow and an Exploration High-End Artificial Lifeform cost 10 billion Faith Points.
• Yang Yi recommended securing a loan against the Enlightenment Stone and presented offers from Jingxi Finance and Elephant Loans.
• Yang Fan rejected Yang Yi's recommendation for the smaller loan and authorized a 100-billion-Faith-Point loan from Elephant Loans.
• Yang Yi signed the contract, mortgaging the Enlightenment Stone under terms that calculated interest daily and allowed seizure of the collateral after two months without interest payments.

Yang Fan sent the Artificial Lifeform Yang Er to explore a dead God’s Divine Kingdom, while directing Yang Yi to invest his income in Monkey Wine Springs. A month later, Yang Fan had surged up the rankings and owned sixty-three Monkey Wine Springs, though he knew the final results depended on what the explorers found deeper inside.

• Yang Fan bought an Exploration High-End Artificial Lifeform, named him Yang Er, and approved his exploration plan and requested funding.
• Yang Fan ordered Yang Yi to set aside interest payments and spend the remaining income on Monkey Wine Springs, aiming to buy one hundred.

• After a month, Yang Fan had earned 100 million points, tied with Luo Bing and Li Tianheng, and owned sixty-three Monkey Wine Springs.

Li Shuhao asked Yang Fan how he gathered resources so quickly, and Yang Fan claimed that elementary school textbooks held the secret. After Luo Bing and the Luo Family geniuses watched a recording of their conversation, they seriously considered whether his advice was genuine.

• Li Tianheng wondered how Yang Fan had gained so many points, while Li Chengze secretly planned to investigate his methods.
• Yang Fan avoided shopping with Luo Rou by accepting Li Shuhao's invitation and bringing Liu Ruyan to Heavenly Fragrance Haven.
• Yang Fan told Li Shuhao to study elementary school textbooks to find spirit plant gardens and demonic beast herds, then left him with the bill.
• Li Shuhao shared a recording of Yang Fan's advice with Li Chengze and Li Tianheng, who mocked Yang Fan's claims.
• Luo Bing interrupted Yang Fan's time with Liu Ruyan to ask about his resource-gathering speed, then left after learning about the recording.
• Luo Bing and the Luo Family geniuses watched the recording, and one suggested borrowing fifth-grade textbooks to test Yang Fan's advice.

Yang Fan’s Divine Kingdom produced a Fifth-Order Lifeform, triggering intense physical strengthening and leaving him confident he could compete for first place in the resource-gathering mission. As the rankings showed him far behind Luo Bing and Li Tianheng, he planned to use the remaining three months—and nine hundred years of Divine Kingdom development—to gather more resources.

• Cao Wang and Yang Wanli watched Yang Fan’s ranking surge and discovered he had bought a High-End Artificial Lifeform to help gather resources.
• Yang Wanli and Cao Wang disagreed over Yang Fan’s use of his reward, with Cao Wang criticizing it as foolish and Yang Wanli accepting that it could improve his score.

• Yang Fan judged that his forces and replenishment rate gave him a chance to challenge Luo Bing and Li Tianheng, while the displayed rankings placed him at 100 million points behind their billions.

Yang Fan shifted his Divine Kingdom’s focus from gathering resources to strengthening his believers after reaching one hundred Monkey Wine Springs. He learned that the Divine Kingdom’s development still rated only around average, and Yang Yi could not estimate when its first Qi Refining believers would appear.

• Yang Fan ordered Yang Er to advance toward the Divine Kingdom Core with more troops despite warnings about heavy casualties, then asked Yang Yi to project future believer growth.
• Li Tianheng’s group dismissed Yang Fan as an early lucky winner and decided to march deeper into the Foreign-Race Divine Kingdom to compete with Luo Bing.
• Yang Fan’s Monkey Wine Springs reached one hundred, producing enough income for him to direct the Divine Kingdom’s remaining resources toward developing believers.
• Yang Yi requested authorization to buy the Everlasting Spring Art for the Divine Kingdom’s ten Fifth-Order Immortal Cultivators, and Yang Fan approved the plan to invest in believers.
• Yang Yi said he could not estimate when Qi Refining believers would appear and assessed Yang Fan’s development as median among Divine Lifeforms at the same stage.

Yang Fan accepted that becoming a Demigod before the College Entrance Exam was unlikely, then committed more of his Divine Kingdom’s strength to helping Yang Er compete for first place. Yang Er discovered a valuable medicinal garden near the Foreign-Race Divine Kingdom Core, propelling Yang Fan to the top of the rankings.

• Yang Yi told Yang Fan that his Divine Kingdom had not yet integrated its resources into a strategic system and that becoming a Demigod before the College Entrance Exam was extremely unlikely.

• Yang Fan's points rose by more than twenty billion, putting him back in first place and leading the Genius Chat Group to speculate that he had reached the Divine Kingdom's core region.
• Li Tianheng ordered Li Shuhao to arrange a month-long stay at Heavenly Paradise with high-tier attendants, hoping to distract Yang Fan from resource exploration.
• Li Shuhao invited Yang Fan to the presidential suite and explained that the Li Family had paid for the stay and attendants.
• Yang Fan entered the suite, recognized the offer's ulterior motive, and decided to enjoy the free luxury anyway.

With one month remaining before the College Entrance Exam, Cao Wang announced a Divine Kingdom Defense Battle that would let classmates raid one another’s realms under strict limits. Yang Fan realized his classmates might target him and began considering defensive preparations.

He ordered Yang Yi to spend ten billion Faith Points on lasting defenses, while his classmates discussed attacking his Divine Kingdom together.

• Yang Fan learned that his believers could not use all the resources generated by his Divine Kingdom's many buildings, despite Yang Yi's efforts to invest in them.
• Yang Yi recommended repaying Elephant Loans to reduce interest, but Yang Fan ordered him to wait and repay the entire balance at once.

• Yang Fan asked Yang Yi for defense advice, then ordered him to spend ten billion Faith Points on durable defensive structures.
• Members of the Genius Chat Group discussed visiting Yang Fan's Divine Kingdom together and sweeping up its outer resources.

Yang Fan’s classmates invaded his Divine Kingdom for a defense exercise and encountered costly defenses that Yang Yi had arranged. As the attackers advanced toward the interior, a thousand Patrol Robots opened fire on their troops.

• Cao Wang explained the rules for the Divine Kingdom Defense Battle and arranged for students to receive virtual coordinates to one another’s Divine Kingdoms.

• Li Tianheng identified a thousand silver Patrol Robots emerging from the forest, and they opened fire on the advancing soldiers.

Yang Fan's robots and Poison Bee Queen devastated the invading army as Li Tianheng and the others advanced through his Divine Kingdom. The bee venom infected stung believers with a Zombie Virus, leaving Li Tianheng furious as the outbreak spread among the attackers.

• Yang Fan's Patrol Robots ambushed the invading believers, killing millions before Li Tianheng's forces reached open plains.
• The group discovered a swarm of Bee Soldiers guarding a hive, and Luo Bing identified it as Yang Fan's B-Rank Defensive Structure, the Poison Bee Queen.
• The Bee Soldiers stung fleeing believers, and Luo Bing explained that the Poison Bee Queen's venom grew more potent over time.
• After the army reached a river, Li Tianheng and the others thought the bees had stopped pursuing them and criticized Yang Fan for investing in defensive structures.
• Stung believers lost contact with their Gods, transformed into zombies, and began biting their companions, prompting Li Tianheng to curse Yang Fan.

Yang Fan’s followers used the Zombie Virus and other defenses to decimate his classmates’ forces, while the survivors pushed deeper into his Divine Kingdom and discovered an enormous grove of Moonwells, Sun Springs, and Elvenkind. The chapter ended as the Elvenkind and a Tree Demon attacked the intruders who tried to seize the buildings.

• Li Chengze and the other classmates panicked as the Zombie Virus spread through their followers, and attempts to escape through the river also proved deadly.
• Yang Fan worried the Zombie Virus might threaten his own followers, but Yang Yi assured him the infected area was isolated and the virus would not remain a danger as his followers grew stronger.
• Luo Bing, Li Tianheng, and the surviving classmates evaded Patrol Robots and advanced through the forest, losing most of their forces along the way.
• The group found vast numbers of Moonwells and Sun Springs, and Li Chengze decided to claim them before the others could split the buildings.
• Sprites appeared among the ancient trees to warn the intruders away, but Li Tianheng ordered an attack, prompting a Tree Demon to strike and the Elvenkind to unleash arrows.

Li Tianheng and the others suffered heavy losses to Yang Fan’s Treant King, then circled the Elven Forest and reached the City of Technology. Yang Fan cleared the defenses along their route, and the visitors now stood before his vast city as they prepared to continue toward his Divine Kingdom Core.

• Li Tianheng warned the attackers that the Treant King was a B-Rank defensive structure with strength comparable to the Foundation Establishment Realm, but its roots and vines killed most of their believers.
• The Treant King returned to the forest after the Elvenkind thanked it, and Li Tianheng told the others it was worth five billion Faith Points.
• Luo Bing proposed going around the forest despite the likely loss of their remaining believers, and Li Tianheng agreed to lead the group onward.
• Yang Fan learned that the Treant King was a neutral creature that attacked even his own believers, then showed his adviser the B-Rank City-Destroying Cannon.
• Yang Fan removed defenses along the attackers’ route, allowing Li Tianheng and the others to circle the forest and see the City of Technology and Penglai Island.
• Cao Wang lamented that Li Tianheng’s weakened forces could not put much pressure on Yang Fan, while Yang Wanli said he wanted to see how strong Yang Fan’s believers were.

As the College Entrance Exam approached, he prepared for another Divine Kingdom Simulation Battle and aimed for admission to one of the Federation’s top two academies.

• Yang Fan fired the City-Annihilation Cannon, annihilating a million believers and leaving Li Tianheng and the others stunned.

• Yang Fan decided to enter the Luo Family’s Divine Kingdom Simulation Battle for its rewards and to pursue a top-ten-thousand ranking that could improve his university prospects.

Yang Fan bought ten thousand sets of B-Grade Weapons to strengthen his army for the Divine Kingdom Simulation Battle, then went on a winning streak. His next opponent fielded an army equipped with the same high-grade weapons, leaving the battle poised to become a serious challenge.

• Yang Fan asked Yang Yi and Yang Er about his chances in the Simulation Battle, then ordered ten thousand elite soldiers selected and decided to buy them B-Grade Weapons.

Yang Fan fought through increasingly difficult Divine Kingdom Simulation Battles and entered the top ten thousand in Yang County, earning Human Prodigy status and an invitation from Primordial Academy. His achievement threw local officials and the Luo Family Headquarters into turmoil as the county realized the Federation had assigned him to a rival academy.

• Yang Fan lost to a Mechanical Divine Kingdom whose intelligent weapons overwhelmed his soldiers, then learned that the weapons were costly and required a Mechanical Heart.
• Yang Fan continued matching against opponents, repeatedly falling just short of the top ten thousand before finally reaching the ranking with a win rate of 63.2%.

• Wang Yun questioned Principal Hong Bing about why Yang Fan's talent had not been identified sooner, and Hong Bing urged him to take responsibility when the higher-ups demanded an explanation.
• The Luo Family Headquarters in the Virtual World also descended into chaos.

The Luo Family council learned Yang Fan had been admitted early to Primordial Academy and resolved to invest heavily in him while limiting threats to him. Luo Hai then explained to Luo Bing that the Federal Government had assessed Yang Fan as a Human Prodigy, leaving her to grasp the scale of his potential.

• Luo Hai rejected Luo Chengfeng's objections and planned to make Yang Fan a first-grade Luo Family member, but paused after learning Yang Fan had been admitted to Primordial Academy and would be escorted to Primordial City.
• Luo Hai ordered Luo Chengfeng to bring Yang Fan and Luo Rou to the family estate, and the council approved an Alchemy Tower and ten thousand Divinity Points for Yang Fan.

• Luo Hai poured Yang Fan another drink while Luo Rou watched in disbelief at the gifts.

Luo Hai arranged for his daughter Luo Bing to marry Yang Fan and secretly drugged him, leading to the two spending the night together.
