After spending time with friends and consulting Sima Pang, he understood how a Supreme Artificial Lifeform could support a cultivation-focused Divine Kingdom without mechanically modifying its believers.

• Yang Da directed Yang Yi to boost the birth rate while sending green-aptitude believers to the Dimensional Research Institute, and promised Mechanical Hearts as rewards for population growth and future conquests.

Yang Fan learned that Yang San had sacrificed believers to save only ten Divinity Points, and Yang Da defended the choice as an efficient use of resources. Yang Da then explained that the plan was meant to accelerate believer Evolution by removing low-aptitude believers, leaving Yang Fan to consider a future Divine Kingdom built around stronger believers and automated zombie production.

• Yang Fan questioned Yang Da's plan to send most new believers to the Dimensional Research Institute, fearing it would undermine the Divine Kingdom's population.
• Yang Da explained that zombies could be cultivated from purchased corpses and flesh-and-blood energy, and revealed that Yang San's method had consumed believers to save just ten Divinity Points.

• Yang Da called Yang Fan complacent and criticized him for relying on his Artificial Lifeform instead of thinking and working for himself.

Yang Fan spent two months studying in Primordial City Library while Yang Da developed his Divine Kingdom, expanding its population, income, and military strength. The chapter ended with Yang Da using Otherworld Collectors to recover resources after wars so believers could focus on cultivation and battle.

• Yang Fan entered Primordial City Library to study after realizing that knowledge was necessary to hold on to his power and resources.
• Yang Fan spent the next two months studying in the Virtual World and avoided Heavenly Fragrance Haven and Liu Ruyan.

• Yang Da equipped Yang Er with Otherworld Collectors to handle resource recovery after Divine Kingdom Wars, freeing believers to focus on cultivation and battle.

Yang Da again urged Yang Fan to target more dangerous Divine Kingdoms, arguing that the kingdom’s strength, defenses, and potential rewards justified the risk. After learning more about Gods and Divine Kingdoms, Yang Fan finally asked Yang Da to explain his proposal, and the chapter ended with Yang Da’s case for attacking Peril-Level targets.

• Yang Da presented evidence that the Divine Kingdom could challenge Peril-Level targets, citing its combat power, defenses, potential gains, and believers’ need for tougher battles.

Yang Fan’s forces invaded the Black Armored Beetle Clan’s Peril-Level Divine Kingdom and pushed through fierce resistance with poison and heavy losses. The Insect Race Demigod watched his forces and territory suffer, unable to understand why Yang Fan kept spending so recklessly.

• Yang Da purchased coordinates to the Black Armored Beetle Clan’s Divine Kingdom, and Yang Fan ordered the invasion while insisting the coordinates remain secret.

• The Black Armored Beetle Clan counterattacked with swarms, poison, ambushes, and harassment, inflicting losses approaching one hundred million troops in a month.

• The Insect Race Demigod tried to negotiate with Yang San and Yang Fan, but they ignored him as the costly invasion continued.

Yang Fan’s companions discussed preparing for the Prodigy God-Sealing Battle, but twenty days later he sensed his believers dying and confronted Yang San. A recording revealed that Yang San’s army had launched its final battle against the Black Armored Beetle Clan, leaving the fate of the forces unresolved.

• Sima Pang explained that the Prodigy God-Sealing Battle’s first stage tested the Divine Kingdom’s environment and advised the group to strengthen theirs before the competition.

• Yang San knelt before Yang Fan and presented the record of the final battle against the Black Armored Beetle Clan.
• Yang San taunted the Black Armored Beetle Clan Demigod, then led the Human Race army in a full assault while Martial Disciples held the front line against the insect tide.

After learning the enemy Demigod had sacrificed his followers' future for a final strike, Yang Fan ordered a halt to foreign wars and assigned his commanders to rebuild and recover resources.

• The Black Armored Beetle Clan used mass self-detonations to shatter Yang Fan's formations and force Yang San's army to retreat and regroup.
• Yang San's reorganized army exterminated the Black Armored Beetle Clan, losing five thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators, ten million Qi Refining cultivators, and nearly eight hundred million Fifth-Order Lifeforms.

• Yang Fan postponed expanding the Metamorphosis Pods and ordered Yang Da to establish Mechanical Path research, cultivate Artificial Lifeforms, and pursue Second-Tier advancement.

• Yang Da redirected resources toward Dragonfish Animal Husbandry, Monkey Wine brewing, and Spirit Veins while the Divine Kingdom recovered from the war.
• Ten days later, the Divine Kingdom had restored its losses and produced one hundred First-Tier Artificial Lifeforms, which Yang Fan equipped with Fully Automatic Intelligent Weapons.

Yang Fan saw how the Divine Kingdom’s factions had flourished and visited the Virtual World to celebrate his mother Sun Rong’s birthday. He gave his parents valuable Fountains of Life, leaving them astonished by his generosity.

• Yang Fan’s Divine Kingdom developed into four thriving factions: the Immortal Alliance, the Myriad Forms Martial Court, the Mechanical Civilization, and the Elven Kingdom, with the City of Trade serving as their shared hub.
• Yang Fan descended into the Virtual World to visit his parents for Sun Rong’s birthday, where he also met Luo Bing and Luo Rou.
• Sun Rong explained that her birthday banquet had kept her busy and told Yang Fan that the Xuanming Group had given Yang Tiexin two Medium Ore Veins and a 10% company share for his believers’ mining work.
• Yang Fan handed his parents cards containing ten Fountains of Life each and urged them to develop their Divine Kingdoms and strive to become Demigods.
• Sun Rong and Yang Tiexin tried to refuse the expensive gifts, but Yang Fan knew they were abundant in his Divine Kingdom and of little value to him.

Yang Fan checked in with his family and learned that his Divine Kingdom now earned over 1 billion Divinity Points per month. As the Prodigy God-Sealing Battle approached, he continued studying and considered how to use the Divine Kingdom’s remaining land.

• Yang Tiexin told Yang Fan that Lin Lang had dissolved their Divine Vassal Contract and that Old Luo was overseeing the family’s Divine Kingdom.
• Luo Bing and Luo Rou told Yang Fan about their studies, then discussed the Luo Family’s hopes for their future with him.
• Yang Fan returned to Primordial City and continued studying, reflecting that lasting fulfillment came from knowledge, strength, and understanding.
• Before the Prodigy God-Sealing Battle, Yang Fan reviewed his Divine Kingdom’s status and confirmed that its monthly income had surpassed 1 billion Divinity Points.
• Yang Fan considered cultivating high-end Spirit Plants on unused land but hesitated because the work would divert Qi Refining Realm believers from other pursuits.

Yang Fan joined Sima Pang, Ye Jianfeng, and Wen Yushui at the Prodigy God-Sealing Battle, where he learned about Sima Pang’s powerful older brother, Sima Tianci. As the gathering began, Sima Pang mingled with the city’s elite while Yang Fan and his companions watched from the sidelines.

• Yang Fan left his Divine Kingdom and met Sima Pang, Ye Jianfeng, and Wen Yushui before entering the Heaven-Pressure Realm.
• Yang Fan saw thousands of Human Prodigies gathered and sensed that some of the older students were far stronger than Sima Pang and Ye Jianfeng.
• Sima Pang introduced his older brother, Sima Tianci, an SS-grade Daoist Heir who had become a First-Order God and graduated early from Primordial Academy.
• Sima Pang told Ye Jianfeng and Wen Yushui that Sima Tianci was largely uninterested in romance and would likely enter a family-arranged marriage alliance.
• Sima Pang identified the four other First-Order Gods on the platform and greeted the many acquaintances who approached him, while Yang Fan and his companions stayed quiet.

Yang Fan and his companions endured the Divine Eye’s crushing pressure during the Prodigy God-Sealing Battle, using Sima Pang’s formation to shift most of the burden onto him. As the assessment continued, Qin Lie noticed a girl from the Gu Family among the participants.

• Sima Tianci declined to announce the assessment, so Gu Changkong began the Prodigy God-Sealing Battle and summoned the platform.
• Sima Pang led Yang Fan, Wen Yushui, and Ye Jianfeng to a central position, where they formed a tight line before the Divine Eye opened.
• The Divine Eye unleashed pressure that forced many participants off the platform, while the four companions endured by sharing the burden mostly through Sima Pang.
• Yang Fan found the pressure almost imperceptible and observed that some upperclassmen and freshman groups near the center were also holding their positions.
• Gu Changkong explained that the Divine Eye adjusted its pressure automatically, and Qin Lie pointed out a girl from the Gu Family.

During the Prodigy God-Sealing Battle, Gu Le gathered twenty people to exploit the team rotation rules, while Wen Yushui struggled under the rising pressure. Yang Fan rescued her by taking the front position himself, leaving Ye Jianfeng astonished at how easily he moved.

• Qin Lie pointed out that Gu Le had assembled twenty people to share the pressure and earn Divinity Points, embarrassing Gu Changfeng and Gu Changkong.
• After an hour, the pressure doubled, and Sima Pang retreated as Wen Yushui struggled to keep standing.
• Yang Fan lifted Wen Yushui and passed her to Ye Jianfeng before taking the front position and bearing most of the pressure.
• Ye Jianfeng marveled at Yang Fan's ease of movement, then helped steady Wen Yushui as she apologized for becoming a burden.

During the Divine Eye assessment, Yang Fan used Monkey Wine and Superalloy Robot Warriors to help his exhausted companions withstand the pressure. The group recovered enough to keep going, while the robots turned the trial platform into an unlikely wine-serving scene.

• Yang Fan asked Sima Pang whether he could materialize items from his Divine Kingdom, then gave Ye Jianfeng Monkey Wine to feed Wen Yushui.
• Wen Yushui drank the wine and recovered as its gentle energy restored her mind and body.
• Yang Fan offered Monkey Wine to Sima Pang and produced a barrel, but Ye Jianfeng could not lift it under the pressure.
• Yang Fan summoned four Superalloy Robot Warriors, which endured the pressure and took over supporting the group and serving wine.
• Sima Pang, Ye Jianfeng, and Wen Yushui asked for wine, and Yang Fan told them to drink as much as they wanted.

Yang Fan led his team through the Divine pressure assessment, using Monkey Wine and Superalloy Robot Warriors to help them endure. After Wen Yushui withdrew with her Divine Kingdom at its limit, she wondered whether Yang Fan was into her.

• The observers debated whether Yang Fan’s team had violated the same-year rule by bringing an upperclassman, and Sima Tianci offered to cover any rewards himself if they had.
• Yang Fan refused Ye Jianfeng’s offer to take the lead and said they could try to last three hours.
• At the two-hour mark, the Divine pressure surged and eliminated many participants, but Yang Fan remained calm while shielding his team.
• After two and a half hours, Wen Yushui withdrew to protect her Divine Kingdom, and Yang Fan sent a robot to carry her off the platform.
• Wen Yushui heard others praise Yang Fan’s considerate actions and wondered if he was into her.

Yang Fan helped exhausted competitors endure the Divine Eye’s pressure by feeding them energy-rich spirit food, while Sima Pang clung to him to keep standing longer. After the pressure ended, the arena scanned Yang Fan, and Han Wuji learned he was an unaffiliated first-year student and decided the Han Family would invite him.

• Yang Fan offered food to Ye Jianfeng and Sima Pang, but only Sima Pang could eat, swallowing hundreds of kilograms and recovering some strength.
• After three hours, Gu Le’s team collapsed, and Ye Jianfeng left the arena with a Robot supporting him.
• Sima Pang clung to Yang Fan’s leg while being fed, hoping to endure for four hours and calling Yang Fan his future big brother.
• The Divine Eye vanished and its pressure disappeared, causing Sima Pang to faint after he collapsed.
• A blue light scanned Yang Fan, and Han Wuji learned he was an unaffiliated first-year student before deciding the Han Family would invite him.

Yang Fan took the second-round test of the Prodigy God-Sealing Battle and placed first with a score far beyond the other contestants. The chapter ended with the crowd and Sima Tianci stunned by Yang Fan’s result.

• Gu Changkong ended the dispute over recruiting Yang Fan and announced the second round, which would test contestants across three paths and select ten for special contracts and an S-Class Building.
• The contestants divided among the Immortal Cultivation, Martial Arts, and Mechanical Paths, where Artificial Lifeforms measured their abilities.
• Yang Fan chose the Immortal Cultivation Path and demonstrated the Gengjin Riftblade Art, drawing on the technique cultivated by believers in his Divine Kingdom.
• The rankings placed Yang Fan first with 4,980 points, ahead of Qin Yang’s 4,020.
• The crowd fell silent at Yang Fan’s score, and Sima Tianci looked at him as a peer.
