Yang Fan confronted Lingxu Zi, the Void Spirit Demigod, after surrounding her Divine Kingdom. She admitted that she had concealed his strength from the six Beastkin Demigods because they had exploited her and her believers, leaving her fate in Yang Fan’s hands.

• Lingxu Zi regained her composure and chose to confess rather than hide her actions from Yang Fan.

Yang Fan offered Lingxu Zi a Divine Vassal Contract, and she accepted, making him responsible for protecting her starving Divine Kingdom.

• Yang Fan realized the supplies would feed the believers for only about ten days and wondered whether he had been too good to his own believers.

Yang Fan made Lingxu Zi his subordinate god and gave her spiritual food and a Fountain of Life, while planning to cultivate her into a God of the Void Spirit Race. He ordered his Divine Kingdom to focus on defense as the Soul-Nourishing Wood neared maturity, and Yang Da made an unexpected plan to “cool things down.”

• Yang Fan gave Lingxu Zi abundant spiritual food and a Fountain of Life, then told her to develop her Divine Kingdom and request future resources through his Artificial Lifeform.
• Yang Fan told Yang Da he intended to cultivate Lingxu Zi into a God because the Void Spirit Race could infiltrate Divine Kingdoms, and explained that future resources would be rewards for value.

• Yang Fan showed Lingxu Zi the power of his Divine Kingdom as twenty demigods and their armies emerged outside it, drawn by its Ten-Thousand-Year Soul-Nourishing Wood.
• A disguised Human Race demigod claimed to seek wealth while avoiding Federation law, and Yang Fan declared that he would take all the invaders' Divine Kingdom Coordinates.
• Yang Fan's City-Annihilation Cannons fired as the demigods raised formations that blocked the attacks and their armies advanced toward the World-Anchoring Profound Heaven Great Wall.
• Yang Fan's Thousand-Poison Swamp swallowed large numbers of ground-bound invaders, prompting an Undead Race demigod to curse the amount of swamp he had prepared.

Yang Fan tested his Divine Kingdom’s defenses against a coalition led by twenty Demigods, whose forces suffered heavy losses to his fighters and defensive structures. The Demigods chose to press on together, fearing Yang Fan would retaliate if they retreated.

• The Undead Race Demigod froze the toxic swamps while the invading Demigods advanced toward Yang Fan’s Divine Kingdom.

• The Human Race Demigod urged the others not to retreat, and the Demigods agreed to coordinate attacks against the Nine Profound Ice Pagoda and the flying machines.

Yang Fan’s Divine Kingdom repelled a massive Alien Race invasion with its defenses and a hidden Void War Ark. After the Ark’s Void Cannon devastated the invaders, the survivors abandoned the attack and fled.

• Tens of billions of Alien Race forces poured into Yang Fan’s Divine Kingdom, clashing with its fighters, cannons, ice pagodas, and Elf archers.
• The invaders sent reinforcements until their army numbered seventy or eighty billion, while Yang Fan and Yang Da decided it was time to close the net.
• A colossal Void War Ark appeared above the World-Anchoring Profound Heaven Great Wall, terrifying the invaders.
• A Beastkin demigod recognized the Ark as a weapon used by Human Race frontline Gods and tried to flee with his believers.
• The Ark fired its Void Cannon, destroying defensive formations and vaporizing huge numbers of invaders.
• The surviving Alien Race forces lost the will to fight and ran for the outskirts of the Divine Kingdom.

Yang Fan’s forces routed the invading demigods and began taking over their Divine Kingdoms. After absorbing eight recovered Divine Kingdom Cores, Yang Fan greatly expanded his Divine Kingdom, while preparing for future wars and weighing the risks of his Fishing strategy.

• Yang Fan felt his body grow stronger as martial arts spread through his followers and their strength fed back into him.
• After ten days, Yang Da returned eight Divine Kingdom Cores and recruited five more War-Type High-End Artificial Lifeforms; Yang Fan absorbed the cores, expanding his Divine Kingdom by nearly twenty million square kilometers.

Yang Fan expanded his Divine Kingdom by selling resource-heavy estates and absorbing the cores of the twenty invading Divine Kingdoms. The Rao Family learned that Rao Yu had died, while Yang Fan ended the chapter only 20 million square kilometers short of becoming a God.

• Yang Fan decided to sell the Monkey Wine Springs and Spirit Peach Mountains, purchase Cities of Technology, and leave believers to choose when to relocate.

• Yang Fan absorbed the final two Divine Kingdom Cores, increased his Divine Kingdom Area by 10 million square kilometers, and came within 20 million square kilometers of becoming a God.

• Yang Fan ordered Yang Da to stop expanding through Divine Kingdom Wars and focus on raising the believers' strength.
• Gu Le told Yang Fan that Gu Xuanting wanted them to meet in the Virtual World, where he introduced Gu Shaoqing and asked Yang Fan to accompany him somewhere.

• Gu Shaoqing said the Third Elder had told Yang Fan he could do whatever he wanted on Xiling Star, whose strongest combatant was only a Third-Order God.

• Yang Fan joked about destroying the planet, and Gu Shaoqing said the Gu Family could cover for him, leaving Yang Fan newly aware of the Five Great Families’ immense power.

Yang Fan explored Xiling Star and saw its enforcement officers exploit impoverished residents while favoring wealthy travelers. After a hungry boy tried to rob him, Yang Fan learned the boy and his twin sisters were waiting for their conscripted father to return, and gave the girls Spirit Fruits.

• Yang Fan left his residence and walked through Xiling Star, where enforcement officers demanded taxes from poor residents and abused those unable to pay.

• Yang Fan gave the twins Spirit Fruits, which they eagerly ate, while their brother stayed still and stared at the food.

Yang Fan learned from Ning Bailian how the Rao Family had impoverished Xiling Star and preyed on its people while preparing to leave. After reviewing evidence of the family’s crimes, Yang Fan decided to destroy them, with Gu Shaoqing confirming that the Gu Family supported his intervention.

Gu Shaoqing unveiled a broadcast presenting Yang Fan as Xiling Star’s new ruler, and the chapter ended with Ning Bailian stunned by the announcement.

• Rao Tianming announced that the Rao Family had been punished and that restrictions on Xiling Star were lifted, then asked Yang Fan to avenge Rao Yu and spare innocent Rao Family descendants.

• Gu Shaoqing activated the Third Elder’s promotional video, which showed Yang Fan announcing that he would govern Xiling Star and promising reforms, compensation, and two tax-free years.
• Ning Bailian stared at the sky in disbelief and realized that Yang Fan was Xiling Star’s new master.
