• Yang Da confirmed that a Void Spirit scout was watching the Soul-Nourishing Wood, and Yang Fan searched the Virtual World for information about the race.

• Yang Fan locked onto the six Divine Kingdom Coordinates and ordered Yang Da to bring back all their Divine Kingdom Cores within half a month.

Yang Fan learned how the Void Spirit Race was exploited and considered what to do with them while Gu Le announced she was pregnant with a boy. After his family and wives met harmoniously, his forces defeated six Beastkin demigods, and Yang Fan absorbed their Divine Kingdom Cores to expand his Divine Kingdom to 29.5 million square kilometers.

• Yang Fan ordered his forces to leave the Void Spirit Race for last as they dealt with the weak Beastkin demigods.
• Gu Le told Yang Fan she was pregnant with a boy and explained that many gods kept Void Spirit Race members captive and forced them to scout and infiltrate enemy Divine Kingdoms.

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.

• Yang Fan learned that Yang Da’s forces had sealed off the Void Spirit Divine Kingdom and decided to meet its Demigod.

• Yang Fan asked Lingxu Zi to look into his eyes and accused her of helping the six Beastkin Demigods obtain his Divine Kingdom Coordinates.
• Lingxu Zi admitted that she had deliberately concealed Yang Fan’s strength and explained that the Beastkin had taken her resources and believers and sent believers to explore spatial rifts.
• 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. After he sent food for her 130 million citizens, Lingxu Zi ordered them to ration it for five months, leaving Yang Fan wondering whether he had been too generous to his own believers.

• Lingxu Zi used her divine authority to stop the chaos and ordered the food rationed to last five months.
• 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 ordered Yang Da to recall the troops and avoid launching Divine Kingdom Wars while the Soul-Nourishing Wood approached maturity.
• Yang Da suggested taking charge of Divine Kingdom planning, but Yang Fan silenced him with a look, and Yang Da apologized.

With the Soul-Nourishing Wood nearing maturity, Yang Fan learned that twenty Demigods had gathered outside his Divine Kingdom, drawn by its immense soul aura. He refused Lingxu Zi’s suggestion to bargain and prepared to see what the intruders would do.

• Yang Da destroyed scouting devices approaching Yang Fan’s Divine Kingdom and reported that enemy forces were gathering nearby.

Yang Fan faced an invasion by twenty demigods and their Alien Race armies, including one Human Race demigod hiding their identity. He began the battle by ordering his defenses to fire, and the chapter left the attackers pushing forward through the Thousand-Poison Swamp.

• 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.
• Yang Fan told Yang Da to test the defenses, and hundreds of thousands of F3500 Fighters attacked the coalition with precise fire directed by God's Eye.

• 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 Da brought back ten Divine Kingdom Cores, raising Yang Fan's Divine Kingdom Area to 70 million square kilometers as he destroyed eighteen of the twenty invaders.
• The Rao Family discussed squeezing more taxes from its population and continuing to fund the Greedy Wolf Mercenary Group despite its investigation by the Federal Court.

• 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.

After a huge haul from using Soul-Nourishing Wood as bait, Yang Fan chose to pause Divine Kingdom Wars and strengthen his believers before pursuing godhood. Gu Xuanting sent Yang Fan to Xiling Star with Gu Shaoqing, but left the purpose of their trip unexplained.

• 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 greeted Yang Fan as the Young Lord, and Gu Le warned him not to be led astray by Shaoqing, whom she called the Amorous Young Master for having more than two hundred wives.
• The next day, Yang Fan traveled with Tang Yue and Ye Wen to meet Gu Shaoqing, who said their destination was Xiling Star, five billion light-years away.
• 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.
