Chapter Summaries

Li Tianheng used Celestial Pivot Spirit-Sealing Cases to spread Corpse Miasma through the Beastkin Divine Kingdom, forcing its Demigod to spend resources on detoxification and defense. When Li Tianheng asked Yang Fan about launching a full-scale assault, Yang Fan told him to keep poisoning the enemy until he died.

• Li Tianheng sent suicide squads carrying Celestial Pivot Spirit-Sealing Cases into the Beastkin Divine Kingdom, where they handed the cases to Robots and remained behind.
• The Beastkin Demigod ordered contaminated believers purged and contracted his defensive lines as the Corpse Miasma continued spreading.
• Unable to contain the poison, the Beastkin Demigod bought Detoxification Potions in bulk and sent elite troops to counter-invade Li Tianheng's Divine Kingdom.
• After the counter-invasion failed against Li Tianheng's defenses, the Beastkin Demigod ordered his troops to hold their lines and kept spending resources on antidotes.
• Li Tianheng returned to reality and asked Yang Fan when they would launch a full-scale attack.
• Yang Fan told Li Tianheng to keep poisoning the Beastkin Demigod until he died.

Yang Fan escalated his corpse-poison campaign against the Beastkin Demigod, while Li Tianheng worried about its cost and enforced strict precautions against contamination. The Beastkin Demigod’s patron, Abuduo, refused further aid, leaving him to face the ruin of his Divine Kingdom alone.

• Yang Fan ordered a tenfold increase in Corpse Core production and told his believers to leave the fighting to Robot Soldiers, who would deploy the cores around the enemy Divine Kingdom.
• Yang Fan issued a Divine Oracle for White Jiangshi believers to focus on condensing Corpse Cores, while the Beastkin Divine Kingdom’s outskirts became choked with poison and its believers began mutating.
• Li Tianheng required returning Robot Soldiers to undergo washing, disinfection, and scans, then ordered all units quarantined outside his Divine Kingdom for a year after the war.
• The Beastkin Demigod begged Abuduo for another fifty thousand Divinity Points, but Abuduo said containing the poison would cost at least five million more and declared the Divine Kingdom ruined.
• Abuduo refused further aid and departed, leaving the Beastkin Demigod to roar in despair.

Li Tianheng and Yang Fan defeated the Beastkin Demigod by spreading corpse aura through the enemy Divine Kingdom, then salvaged its buildings. Yang Fan used a Divine Kingdom Deduction Card on the captured core, but the deduction failed after revealing only two blurry letters.

• Li Tianheng told Yang Fan that the last enemy believer had become a zombie and the Beastkin Demigod had fallen.
• Li Tianheng sent Robot Soldiers to take over the ruined Beastkin Divine Kingdom and recover its intact buildings.
• Li Tianheng gave Yang Fan the enemy Divine Kingdom Core, while Yang Fan let him keep the buildings worth fifty to sixty thousand Divinity Points.
• Yang Da placed a Divine Kingdom Deduction Card on the core, but the deduction collapsed before its coordinate could form.

After absorbing a Beastkin demigod’s Divine Kingdom Core, Yang Fan gained an F-rank Strength talent and redeemed the demigod’s coordinates for military merit. He decided to keep his rapid gains discreet and sent Li Tianheng five more Life-Type Divine Kingdom coordinates, leaving Li Tianheng to ask which one to attack first.

• Yang Fan absorbed the Beastkin demigod’s Divine Kingdom Core, gaining an F-rank Strength talent as the Beastkin Divine Kingdom collapsed into his own.
• Yang Fan uploaded the demigod’s coordinates to the Military Merit System and received 100,000 military merit.
• Yang Fan weighed the value of military merit against the risk of attracting the human race’s higher-ups by defeating too many demigods.
• Yang Fan ordered Yang Da to buy five sets of Life-Type Divine Kingdom coordinates and provide Li Tianheng with more Robots and defensive structures.
• Li Tianheng entered Yang Fan’s room and asked which Divine Kingdom he should attack first.

Yang Fan instructed Li Tianheng to recruit Subordinate Gods for future proxy wars and ordered Yang Da to buy more Superalloy Robot Warriors. The chapter ended with Yang Da proposing that the Robots invade Yang Fan’s own Subordinate Gods, and Yang Fan rebuking him.

• Yang Fan told Li Tianheng to use a War-Type Advanced Artificial Lifeform for future wars and recruit Subordinate Gods on his behalf.
• Li Tianheng worried that recruiting more proxies was unnecessary, but Yang Fan ordered him to prioritize demigods with high-ranked divine kingdom talents and negotiate fixed prices.
• Yang Fan transferred five million Divinity Points to Li Tianheng and instructed him to tell recruits they would receive no resources beyond the initial payment.
• Yang Fan learned that five purchased alien divine kingdom coordinates belonged to Life-Type Divine Kingdoms and ordered Yang Da to buy Superalloy Robot Warriors in bulk.
• Yang Da suggested using Robots to invade Yang Fan’s own Subordinate Gods, and Yang Fan interrupted him with a rebuke.

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.
• Li Tianheng returned with three divine vassal contracts and said only a few demigods had trusted his offer, while asking that the Federation artificial lifeform choose comparable Alien Race demigods as targets.
• Yang Fan signed all three contracts and approved Li Tianheng’s automatic payment agreement of sixty thousand Divinity Points per person.
• 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 sent Lingxu Zi to observe enemy Divine Kingdoms while strengthening his Frontline operations through Li Tianheng and Yang Da. The Dark Web continued delivering S-Class War Buildings instantly across the Frontline, leaving Yang Fan curious about its unusual capabilities.

• 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 Da bought Alien Race corpses to supply the Eternal Corpse Mine with corpse miasma for producing Corpse Cores.
• Yang Da bid cautiously on S-Class War Buildings at the Dark Web auction, following Yang Fan's instructions not to disrupt market prices.
• Yang Fan noticed that Dark Web purchases arrived instantly in his Divine Kingdom despite the Frontline's spatial turbulence and blockades.

Li Tianheng delivered seven Divine Vassal Contracts and the cores from five defeated Alien Race Demigods to Yang Fan, then encountered Gu Jiuheng at the villa. Gu Jiuheng warned Yang Fan about the Frontline’s dangers and revealed that Yang Fan would receive ten million military merits each month, leaving him astonished by the value of the allowance.

• Li Tianheng gave Yang Fan seven Divine Vassal Contracts and five Divine Kingdom Cores, and explained that stronger demigods were still waiting to see how things went.
• Li Tianheng collided with Gu Jiuheng outside the villa and was crushed by the god’s aura until Yang Fan came out and introduced him as a Subordinate God.
• Gu Jiuheng cautioned Yang Fan that Li Tianheng should not visit the Frontline too often because demigods were vulnerable there.
• Gu Jiuheng verified Yang Fan’s identity token and told him that he would receive ten million military merits each month as the Third Elder’s son-in-law.
• 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.
• Gu Jiuheng advised Yang Fan to spend his military merits on S-Class Resource Buildings, prioritize spiritual-energy resources, and gain experience through Divine Kingdom Wars in the Ninth Legion.
• Gu Jiuheng revealed that he had placed 1,314 S-Class Earthcore Spirit Marrow Source Nests and recited a poem before leaving.
• Yang Fan checked his Divine Kingdom skin and saw that he had 112,000 Earthcore Spirit Marrow Source Nests and 113,000 Enlightenment Ancient Trees, then dismissed Gu Jiuheng as a small-time show-off.
• After leaving Yang Fan’s sight, Gu Jiuheng admitted that he had enjoyed trying to dent his brother-in-law’s confidence by boasting about his holdings.

Yang Fan absorbed five Divine Kingdom Cores, then ordered Yang Da to secretly buy Foreign-Race Divine Kingdom Coordinates so Li Tianheng could target powerful demigods in proxy wars. In the Demigod Residential District, Li Tianheng negotiated with a man who offered him a private kickback.

• Yang Fan learned that Yang Da had failed to deduce the gods' Divine Kingdom Coordinates behind the five demigods.
• Yang Fan absorbed the five Divine Kingdom Cores and gained several ordinary Divine Kingdom Talents that barely affected his own talents.
• 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 sent Li Tianheng over a hundred Alien Race demigod coordinates and ordered him to use Corpse Cores to seize their Divine Kingdom Cores and S-Rank buildings.
• Yang Fan instructed Li Tianheng to avoid visiting in person and to handle future resource handovers through Robots.
• Yang Fan met Ma Yu in Xiling Star’s Conference Hall and asked about Elephant Loans’ investments in Primordial Academy students.
• Ma Yu explained that Elephant Loans had stopped investing in students and shifted its focus to developing industries on Xiling Star.
• Ma Yu asked whether Yang Fan wanted to establish a company in the Real World, and Yang Fan recognized the need to build a real-world identity and power structure.

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.
• Ma Yu reported that the company had been registered again and that he would submit plans for its investment and sales divisions.
• 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 told Li Tianheng to recruit Subordinate Gods at market rates with Divinity Points paid upfront and let them keep Class C and lower resources after victorious Divine Kingdom Wars.
• Ma Yu sent Yang Fan three Yang Group proposals covering investment, talent reserves, and sales, and Yang Fan approved the investment and sales plans.
• Yang Fan entered the Virtual World and surveyed the completed Yang Group headquarters on Xiling Star.

Yang Fan ordered Ma Yu to rapidly expand the Yang Group and laid out plans for investments and resource sales. After Yang Fan injected another hundred trillion Divinity Points, the company’s staff were stunned by the massive transfer.

• 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.

Yang Fan’s growing success attracted more demigods seeking divine vassal contracts, while his allies expanded their covert invasions of alien Divine Kingdoms. At the same time, Yang Tiexin arrived at the Human Race Frontline with the Luo Family and headed to meet Yang Fan.

• 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.
• Yang Fan signed twenty divine vassal contracts and matched the new vassals with Foreign-Race Divine Kingdoms, while Lingxu Zi monitored their wars for Yang Da.
• 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 Fan recognized his visitors, welcomed his father and Yang Bing, and learned that Yang Tiexin’s mother had arranged the visit because she worried about him.
• 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.
