Chapter Summaries

Yang Tiexin visited Yang Fan’s villa on the Frontline and was impressed by its advanced technology, while Luo Hai and Luo Chengfeng arranged for Luo Bing to stay overnight with Yang Fan. After Yang Tiexin fell asleep, Luo Xuan entered the Virtual World to report back to Rao Mingming about his attempt to ease their family’s strained ties with Yang Fan.

• Yang Tiexin explored Yang Fan’s villa, admired its robots and artificial lifeform, and decided its accommodations surpassed their home on Xiling Star.
• Luo Hai arranged for Luo Bing to stay at the villa overnight with Yang Fan, hoping she would have a chance to conceive a child.
• Luo Hai told Luo Chengfeng that he had worked through Sun Rong and Yang Tiexin to secure the opportunity for Luo Bing.
• Luo Chengfeng reflected on how his investment in Yang Fan had brought the Luo Family great fortune and helped his great-grandson Yang Chengrou gain shares in the Yang Group.
• Yang Tiexin played with the villa’s technology until he grew tired and fell asleep, while Luo Xuan kept watch beside him.
• Luo Xuan entered the Virtual World and told his anxious wife, Rao Mingming, about the visit, as she hoped his friendship with Yang Tiexin would help repair their family’s relationship with Yang Fan.

Luo Xuan ordered his family to erase Luo Mingxuan from their records and cultivate a friendship with Sun Rong to secure favor with Yang Tiexin. Yang Fan and Luo Bing spent the night together, and the group departed with valuable resources for the Yang Group; Luo Hai then told Luo Bing to get a full medical examination upon their return.

• Luo Xuan ordered Rao Mingming to remove Luo Mingxuan from the family genealogy and dispose of his ashes in Yang County, explaining that they needed to avoid giving anyone leverage over them.
• Luo Xuan instructed Rao Mingming to acquire shares in a department store Sun Rong frequented and build a friendship with her through everyday conversation and cooking.
• Luo Bing asked Yang Fan if they could have a child, and Yang Fan cautioned that conceiving would be harder now that he was a god.
• Yang Fan gave Luo Hai Resource Cards filled with spirit stones, earthcore spirit marrow, and enlightenment tea for transfer to the Yang Group.
• Yang Tiexin went to his room to play a game after the group boarded the spacecraft, while Luo Hai and Luo Xuan offered to handle the company’s affairs.
• Luo Hai told Luo Bing to have the robot doctor give her a full examination when they returned.

Luo Chengfeng warned Luo Hai that the Luo Family had to stay within its limits and act cautiously on Xiling Star. Yang Fan reviewed two investment candidates and arranged to interview them in the Virtual World, where Ma Mian and Niu Tou were surprised by the Yang Group’s strength.

• Luo Bing complained that Yang Fan had given Chengrou only one percent of the shares, and Luo Hai sharply told her to watch her words.
• Luo Chengfeng urged Luo Hai to guide Luo Bing and the Luo Family, explaining that their position on Xiling Star depended on Chairman Yang rather than their own strength.
• Luo Hai entrusted Luo Chengfeng and Luo Xuan with handling the Luo Family’s affairs, and Luo Xuan was glad to regain an important role.
• Yang Fan reviewed investment contracts for Ma Mian of the Primordial Academy and Niu Tou of the Starry Sky Academy, then told Ma Yu to arrange personal interviews.
• Yang Fan entered the Virtual World headquarters, where Ma Mian and Niu Tou saw the Yang Group’s imposing building, powerful staff, and ownership of a life-bearing planet.

Yang Fan recruited Ma Mian and Niu Tou into the Yang Group with generous investment terms, then offered ten million Divinity Points for each of their Foreign-Race Divine Kingdom District challenge opportunities. The two accepted the jobs but were stunned by the purchase contracts and asked whether Yang Fan was serious.

• Ma Mian and Niu Tou asked Yang Fan about compensation and equity, and Yang Fan introduced himself as the Yang Group's chairman.
• Ma Mian recognized Yang Fan as the academy graduate who became a god in his third year and joined the Gu Family, and both students grew eager to join the group.
• Yang Fan offered each student an annual university subsidy of five hundred thousand Divinity Points, a base salary after graduation, and bonuses, and Ma Mian and Niu Tou accepted the investment contract.
• Yang Fan offered to pay ten million Divinity Points for each student's challenge opportunity in the Foreign-Race Divine Kingdom District and gave them contracts to review.
• Ma Mian and Niu Tou read the contracts in shock, and Ma Mian asked Yang Fan whether he was joking.

Yang Fan offered Ma Mian and Niu Tou an agreement to wage Divine Kingdom Wars without sending their believers into battle, while keeping their Divine Kingdom coordinates private. They accepted the terms and signed the contracts, becoming Yang Fan’s subordinates.

• Yang Fan offered to fund chemical warfare through the Yang Group so Ma Mian and Niu Tou could weaken enemy Divine Kingdoms without risking their believers.
• Ma Mian asked how Yang Fan would oversee the operation without learning their Divine Kingdom coordinates, and Yang Fan required comprehensive monitoring and real-time data sharing instead.
• Yang Fan said he would take only S-rated and higher buildings and the enemy Divine Kingdom Cores, leaving the other spoils to Ma Mian and Niu Tou.
• Niu Tou asked how they would defend against a reverse invasion, and Yang Fan offered to pay them twenty million Divinity Points in advance for defensive buildings.
• Ma Mian and Niu Tou signed the investment contract and cooperation agreement, then bowed to Yang Fan and greeted him as their Chairman.

Yang Fan secured Ma Mian and Niu Tou’s secrecy about the Yang Group’s plan to trade academy entry slots for access to powerful alien demigods, then expanded preparations to conquer their Divine Kingdoms. He returned to his Divine Kingdom after sensing a breakthrough and discovered that Yang Da had advanced alongside the birth of a Fourth-Tier Artificial Lifeform.

• Yang Fan told Ma Mian and Niu Tou to develop their Divine Kingdoms, share news of their investment contracts, and keep the cooperation agreement secret.
• Yang Fan explained that the Yang Group sought powerful alien demigod Divine Kingdom Cores for research, and Ma Mian and Niu Tou pledged to keep the plan confidential.
• Yang Fan ordered Yang Da to send another fifty million White Jiangshi to refine Corpse Cores at the Eternal Corpse Mine.
• Yang Fan considered the resources needed to conquer the unusually powerful demigods in the academies’ Foreign-Race Divine Kingdom Districts without losing soldiers.
• Ten days later, Yang Fan sensed a breakthrough in his Divine Kingdom while visiting Gu Le and Gu Chengye in the Virtual World, then returned to reality to investigate.
• Yang Fan entered his Divine Kingdom and found that Yang Da had advanced after a Fourth-Tier Artificial Lifeform was born.

Yang Fan discovered that gaining a Fourth-Tier Artificial Lifeform had greatly increased his Spiritual Power and granted him the ability to rearrange matter. He ordered Yang Da to invest even more heavily in Mechanical Civilization so the Divine Kingdom could grow stronger.

• Yang Da explained that Mechanical Civilization depended on abundant resources and could evolve through continuous manufacturing and refinement.
• Yang Fan sensed that Mechanical Civilization had advanced far beyond the Divine Kingdom’s other systems and attributed his own surge in strength to the Fourth-Tier Artificial Lifeform.
• Yang Fan used his Spiritual Power to transform wood into iron, copper, and gold, realizing that this was the Mechanical Path’s ability called Creation.
• Yang Fan recognized that Mechanical Gods could amass immense wealth once their costly civilization matured and reflected that his own money-making ability could improve further.
• Yang Fan ordered Yang Da to buy resources for Mechanical Civilization and prioritize strengthening the Divine Kingdom over earning income.

Yang Fan approved major investments in his Divine Kingdom’s war weapons, declined Gu Jiuheng’s suggestion to join the Ninth Legion, and let Sima Tianci lounge in his courtyard. When Luo Hai arrived to collect goods with Luo Bing, a stranger answered Yang Fan’s door.

• Yang Da reported plans for large-scale war weapons, and Yang Fan approved their resource costs without requiring future reports.
• Yang Fan spent a month at the Frontline Villa discussing current affairs with Gu Jiuheng and Sima Tianci, then declined Gu Jiuheng’s suggestion that he join the Ninth Legion.
• Sima Tianci began visiting Yang Fan’s villa to sunbathe, and Yang Fan eventually let him stay while he went to the Virtual World.
• Luo Hai returned to collect goods with Luo Bing, but an unfamiliar voice answered Yang Fan’s door and left Luo Hai confused.

Sima Tianci met Luo Bing and gave her a Rank A spirit vein before leaving Yang Fan’s villa. After a quiet stretch, Yang Fan sent Luo Hai back with resources and special medicines, then learned that the contracted Subordinate Gods had finished their Divine Kingdom Wars and that a Human Race demigod with the Class C talent 'Flesh Mountain' was nearing his limit.

• Sima Tianci came out of Yang Fan’s villa, met Luo Hai and Luo Bing, and gave Luo Bing a Rank A spirit vein as a gift.
• Yang Fan welcomed Luo Hai and Luo Bing, then spent the night with Luo Bing while Luo Hai stayed hidden in another room.
• The next morning, Yang Fan gave Luo Hai Resource Cards and instructed him to transport the sealed special medicines directly to the Yang Group’s warehouse.
• After a month in Yang Fan’s routine and about twenty days in the Real World, the contracted Subordinate Gods completed their Divine Kingdom Wars, and Yang Da sent Otherworld Collectors to gather resources.
• Lingxu Zi reported to Yang Fan that a Human Race demigod with the Class C talent 'Flesh Mountain' was almost at his limit.

Yang Fan watched a human subordinate’s Divine Kingdom face destruction by an Alien Race demigod’s Rank A War Structure and ordered Robots to seize the enemy’s Divine Kingdom Core if it fell. The human demigod’s last hopes of aid and rescue vanished as his family ran out of credit and Yang Fan rejected his 243rd request.

• Lingxu Zi showed Yang Fan footage of a thousand-zhang Flesh Mountain crushing the human demigod’s defenses as Cannibal Race warriors advanced toward his Divine Kingdom Core.
• Yang Da reported that Yang Fan had rejected 242 requests for aid, and Yang Fan ordered the Robot legion to retrieve the Core if the Divine Kingdom fell to prevent his own coordinates from being exposed.
• Yang Da told Yang Fan that the Mechanical Civilization had completed its upgrade and prepared new war weapons for testing.
• The human demigod’s Number One reported that financial companies had refused further credit, his father had exhausted the family’s borrowing options, and Yang Fan had rejected a 243rd request for aid.
• The human demigod lost hope as the Flesh Mountain continued toward his Core, recalling how risky investments had once raised him from poverty to demigod status.

Yang Fan watched a Human Race demigod fall after refusing to rescue him, then unleashed a Robot army against the Cannibal Race forces that had seized the Divine Kingdom Core. The chapter leaves the Cannibal Race retreating under a devastating laser barrage, while its Rank A War Structure still stands but is nearing its limit.

• The Human Race demigod begged Yang Fan for help as the Cannibal Race army broke through his defenses, but Yang Fan watched without intervening.
• The Cannibal Race believers overwhelmed the final defensive line, killed the demigod’s last believers, and seized his Divine Kingdom Core.
• A Spatial Rift opened, and hundreds of millions of Robot Soldiers and towering Steel Giants emerged onto the battlefield.
• The Cannibal Race demigod ordered his believers to flee with the Divine Kingdom Core, and they ran toward the edge of the Divine Kingdom.
• The Robot army fired a dense barrage of laser beams that slaughtered the Cannibal Race forces and battered their Rank A War Structure until it neared its limit.
• The Robot Soldiers abruptly stopped firing, and surviving Cannibal Race believers took the lull as a chance to keep retreating.

Yang Fan’s Robot army annihilated the Cannibal Race forces and recovered the Divine Kingdom Core, while the Cannibal Race god concluded that the Human god had deliberately let Yang Fan die before reclaiming the Core. The chapter left the Cannibal Race god suspecting that the Human god had used the proxy war to eliminate a subordinate who had offended him and protect his divine kingdom’s location.

• Thousands of Steel Giants fired Air Cannon shots that devastated the Cannibal Race Divine Kingdom, destroyed its Class A war structure, and killed every Cannibal Race believer on the battlefield.
• Yang Da admitted that the weapons’ power had nearly destroyed the Divine Kingdom Core, and Yang Fan ordered him to retrieve it after the Spatial Channel closed.
• The Cannibal Race demigod, shaken by the defeat, contacted his Lord God and shared the believers’ memories of the battle through Neural Resonance.
• The Cannibal Race god learned that the Human demigod had died before the god behind him acted, then speculated that the Human god had deliberately arranged the death and recovered the Core to conceal his coordinates.

A Cannibal Race god spared his subordinate from repaying the lost Flesh Bomb Chariot as Yang Fan’s network of divine vassal contracts expanded and accumulated Foreign-Race Divine Kingdom Cores. After months of deductions, Yang Da located an Angel Race god’s Divine Kingdom, and Yang Fan prepared to face the unknown target.

• The Cannibal Race god told his subordinate he did not need to compensate for the lost Rank A War Structure and ordered him to recover his Divine Kingdom.
• Yang Fan’s contracted demigods won most of their proxy wars, harvested high-value resources, and dissolved their contracts, while his network settled at around sixty members.
• Li Tianheng’s Divine Kingdom continued winning wars, and Yang Fan accumulated more than fifty demigod Divine Kingdom Cores.
• Yang Da used over a hundred Foreign-Race Divine Kingdom Cores to successfully deduce the coordinates of a god’s Divine Kingdom.
• Yang Da identified the Divine Kingdom Core as belonging to the Angel Race and estimated the target’s Divine Kingdom Area at fifteen to seventeen billion square kilometers.
• Yang Fan learned that the Angel Race god’s Divine Kingdom was larger than his own, but showed no fear and felt excited.

Yang Fan prepared his Divine Kingdom for a future war against an Angel Race god, insisting on extensive precautions despite Yang Da’s confidence in their strength. He absorbed more than fifty Divine Kingdom Cores, gaining over fifty new talents for his Divine Kingdom.

• Yang Fan ordered Yang Da to spend three thousand years preparing for war by refining Corpse Cores, producing weapons and medicines, and manufacturing Fourth-Tier Intelligent Weapons.
• Yang Da warned Yang Fan that first-order Foreign-Race Gods usually had limited forces, but Yang Fan said he would not underestimate the enemy or possible Angel Race reinforcements.
• Yang Da obeyed while privately questioning Yang Fan’s caution and noting that his Divine Kingdom already held four to five hundred S-Class War Buildings.
• Yang Fan absorbed more than fifty stored Divine Kingdom Cores, expanding his Divine Kingdom and gaining over fifty talents, most of them F-rank.
• Yang Fan concluded that Human Divine Kingdom Talents generally lost one rank during conversion, while Alien Race talents often lost two or three ranks.

Yang Fan fused newly acquired talents into his Divine Kingdom’s existing talents, then withdrew as Yang Da mobilized the realm for war. After stabilizing production and delegating its coordination to Yang Yi, Yang Da returned to his palace to enjoy himself.

• Yang Fan fused more than fifty talents, slightly strengthening existing talents and adding Alchemical Heart and Formation Way to the Divine Kingdom.
• Yang Da ordered the Divine Kingdom to prepare for war, stockpiling Corpse Cores, producing pills and weapons, and expanding intelligent weapon production.
• Yang Da coordinated purchases of resources and production across the Divine Kingdom, and Yang Yi estimated that a year would fulfill Yang Fan’s requirements.
• Yang Da put Yang Yi in charge of production, rewarded him with ten Mechanical Hearts, and arranged for female elven warriors to handle palace affairs.
• Yang Da returned to his palace, where female believers performed dances for him.

Yang Fan selected two powerful alien demigods for Niu Tou and Ma Mian to fight in the Foreign-Race Divine Kingdom District, while preparing to support them with Corpse Cores and monitor the wars. He left the arrangements to proceed as planned and focused on preparing for his first battle against a god, whom he knew not to underestimate.

• Yang Da rewarded his female believers with earthcore spirit marrow and enjoyed their hospitality in his palace.
• Niu Tou and Ma Mian told Yang Fan they had bought enough defensive buildings to begin Divine Kingdom wars, and Yang Fan searched academy databases for targets.
• Yang Fan chose a Dark Elf and a Heaven-Sea Demon Race demigod, both with S-Rank talents, as Niu Tou and Ma Mian’s opponents.
• Niu Tou and Ma Mian worried that their defenses were insufficient, but agreed to buy more buildings and honor their agreement with Yang Fan.
• Yang Fan planned to send Ma Yu’s Celestial Pivot Spirit-Sealing Cases filled with Corpse Cores and monitor the wars, while turning his attention to the coming battle against a god.

Yang Fan watched Niu Tou and Ma Mian poison two Foreign-Race Divine Kingdoms and repel their counterattacks, then ordered preparations for war. After Yang Fan left, Yang Da and Yang Yi secretly accelerated the pill-production schedule to meet his demands sooner.

• Niu Tou and Ma Mian obtained the target Divine Kingdom Coordinates, and Yang Fan sent them Celestial Pivot Spirit-Sealing Cases as their Robots spread Corpse Cores through the two Divine Kingdoms.
• The dark elves and Heavenly Sirens launched counterattacks, but Niu Tou and Ma Mian activated their defensive structures and drove the Alien Race forces back.
• Yang Fan concluded that the two Divine Kingdoms would be ready to harvest in just over a month and hoped to find Divine Kingdom Cores left by Human Prodigies.
• Yang Da told Yang Yi to increase pill production so the Divine Kingdom could meet Yang Fan’s objectives within thirteen hundred years, earlier than the fifteen hundred years Yang Fan expected.
• Yang Yi ordered the Lord of the Heavenly Court to meet the pill-stockpile requirements within one thousand years, and the Lord gave the pill producers an eight-hundred-year deadline.

For Gu Chengye’s first birthday, Yang Fan let him choose a gift, and the baby picked a model of a blue planet. Yang Fan arranged to buy him a Life Star and left the story with Gu Le teasing their crying son in Primordial City.

• Yang Fan asked Gu Chengye to choose a birthday gift, and the baby grabbed a blue planet model.
• Yang Fan messaged Ma Yu to purchase a nearby Life Star with a stable environment and good resources, then planned to transfer it to Gu Chengye.
• Yang Fan asked Gu Le to hold the ownership certificate until Gu Chengye turned eighteen and awakened his Divine Kingdom.
• Yang Fan played with Gu Chengye until the baby grew tired, then left the Virtual World.
• In Primordial City, Gu Le teased Gu Chengye about becoming a Planetary Lord and patted his bottom, making him cry.

Yang Fan oversaw the spread of corpse poison through enemy Divine Kingdoms while his Real World body formed a Nascent Soul. He tested his new spiritual-energy control and Creation ability by dismantling and restoring a Household Robot.

• Gu Le soothed Gu Chengye after accidentally hurting him, and he clung to her clothes.
• Yang Fan told Ma Yu to publicize the Yang Group's ties to Gu Xuanting and its fair trading policy, and Ma Yu praised him.
• Yang Fan watched Ma Mian and Niu Tou's enemies retreat into their Divine Kingdom Core regions as corpse poison spread through their territories.
• Yang Fan's dantian shattered as a crystalline Nascent Soul formed, and five-colored spiritual energy surged through his body.
• Yang Fan used a strand of spiritual energy to precisely dismantle a Household Robot, then restored it with his mental power.

Yang Fan confirmed that his Divine Kingdom had produced its first Nascent Soul Cultivator and ordered preparations for war to continue for another five hundred years. His agents then distributed rewards to the Divine Kingdom’s contributors, and the Pill Bureau announced a Monument of Merit for its Alchemists.

• Yang Fan saw the first Nascent Soul Cultivator in his Divine Kingdom and decided to wait five hundred years before invading the enemy Divine Kingdom.
• Yang Da reported that the war supplies had exceeded their targets, received one million Divinity Points, and was ordered to mobilize the War-Type High-End Artificial Lifeforms.
