Chapter Summaries

Ma Huainan borrowed two War God Codices from Qin Xue and directed his Divine Kingdom to invest the funds in development, dismissing the invading zombies as an easy threat. Meanwhile, Yang Shi began a slow campaign to infect and ruin Ma Huainan’s Divine Kingdom rather than advance quickly.

• Ma Huainan signed contracts with Qin Xue for two War God Codices at 40% annual interest, then declined her offer to relax.
• After returning to his Divine Kingdom, Ma Huainan mistook Yang Fan’s Zombie Followers for an ordinary Corpse-Cultivating god’s believers and ordered fifty million Martial Disciple realm believers to destroy them.
• Ma Huainan directed his artificial lifeform to spend the loan on Spirit Plant Seeds, cultivation and planting training, and short-term investments, while refusing to reserve funds for war.
• Ma Huainan decided to visit the Frontline Trading District to save resources and left his Divine Kingdom.
• Yang Shi received war supplies at the outskirts and ordered his forces to advance slowly, using Corpse Cores to infect resources and damage Ma Huainan’s production systems.

Yang Fan’s forces began contaminating Ma Huainan’s resource fields to weaken his Divine Kingdom over time, while Yang Fan prepared hidden reinforcements and supplies. He left the war’s early stages to Yang Da and Yang Shi and waited for Ma Huainan to fall into a hopeless predicament.

• Yang Shi One ordered the Zombie Kings to carry the Ten-Thousand Corpse War Tombs toward the Divine Kingdom Core while infecting Ma Huainan’s resource areas with zombies carrying Corpse Cores.
• Yang Fan watched the invasion through his believers and mocked Ma Huainan for cultivating low-grade resources across his Divine Kingdom.

• Yang Fan returned his consciousness to reality and relaxed while Yang Da and Yang Shi managed the war.

Ma Huainan returned to his Divine Kingdom and discovered that corpse poison had ruined his resource zones and converted his fifty million followers into zombies. After reviewing the battle, he learned his opponent had deployed nearly ten thousand Rank A Ten-Thousand Corpse War Tombs and realized he had badly underestimated them.

• Ma Huainan returned from the trading district, proud that haggling had saved him tens of millions of Faith Points.
• Ma Huainan found his Spirit Fields, medicinal gardens, and Animal Husbandry farms contaminated by corpse poison, with Spirit Plants withered and Demon Beasts mutating.
• Ma Huainan demanded an explanation, and the Artificial Lifeform showed him how the zombie army trapped and transformed all fifty million Martial Disciple followers.
• The Artificial Lifeform identified the enemy's structures as Rank A Ten-Thousand Corpse War Tombs and explained that it had learned this only after querying the Federation's Supreme Artificial Lifeform.
• Ma Huainan realized the enemy had invested in nearly ten thousand Rank A War Structures and suspected his opponent was a powerful, long-established god.

Ma Huainan prepared a billion-believer army and rented protective equipment to counter Yang Fan’s advancing zombies. Yang Fan watched the enemy forces assemble and learned their suits were obsolete, while Yang Da judged the zombies could overwhelm them.

• Ma Huainan ordered his army reorganized, assembled one billion believers, and brought out both S-Rank Immortal War-Spirit Steles.
• Ma Huainan rented Biochemical Protective Suits and Gas Masks after deciding not to buy the expensive equipment.
• Yang Fan checked the battlefield footage and saw Ma Huainan’s believers wearing protective suits and transparent head domes.
• Yang Da identified the suits as obsolete first-generation Azure Biochemical Defense Suits designed by Mo Yuan.
• Yang Da estimated that Ma Huainan had committed one-tenth of his Divine Kingdom’s fighting strength and said the zombie army could defeat the believers.

Yang Fan continued his concealed invasion of Ma Huainan’s Divine Kingdom, where Ma Huainan summoned his billion followers for battle. Yang Shi deployed a vast zombie formation equipped with intelligent weapons, and the first clash revealed the enemy posed almost no threat to their defenses.

• Yang Fan decided to keep hiding his identity and let the invasion wear Ma Huainan down over time.
• Ma Huainan challenged the unseen invader, then rallied his followers and gathered their blood essence into an ancient Wild Beast phantom.
• Yang Shi deployed ten million Zombie Generals and one million Zombie Kings in the Corpse Tide Frenzy Formation, ordering his fighters to take Corpse Cores before battle.
• Ma Huainan and his Artificial Lifeform recognized that the zombies carried Third-Tier and Fourth-Tier Intelligent Weapons, and Ma Huainan ordered his army to attack.
• Yang Shi directed the intelligent weapons to raise Energy Shields and collect battle data as Ma Huainan’s vanguard struck; the systems assessed the attack as only 0.5% of the shields’ defensive limit.

Yang Fan worried that equipping his zombie army with intelligent weapons would expose his identity, but Yang Da explained that the weapons could not be traced by appearance alone. As the zombies overwhelmed Ma Huainan’s forces with suppressive fire, Ma Huainan questioned whether Yang Fan was following the Corpse Cultivation path or the mechanical path.

• Yang Da assured Yang Fan that the intelligent weapons would not reveal his identity because the Federation Marketplace sold many similar models.
• Yang Fan ordered Yang Shi to slow the attack and let Ma Huainan believe he still had a chance, so Ma Huainan would not disclose his Divine Kingdom’s coordinates to the Sima Family.
• On the Divine Kingdom Battlefield, the zombie army’s intelligent weapons battered Ma Huainan’s followers and shattered their blood-energy defensive barrier.
• The energy blasts devastated Ma Huainan’s army, killing and injuring followers and plunging the battlefield into chaos.
• Ma Huainan watched the attack in shock and wondered whether Yang Fan was pursuing Corpse Cultivation or the mechanical path.

Yang Fan ordered his forces to conserve their weapons and turn the battle into a prolonged war of attrition against Ma Huainan’s believers. As the zombie army suffered heavy losses and spread corpse poison across the battlefield, Ma Huainan mistook the strategy for weakness and vowed revenge.

• Yang Shi ordered the Zombie Followers to stop large-scale intelligent weapon attacks and sent the White Jiangshi to lead fifty million ordinary zombies in the Corpse Tide Frenzy Formation.
• Ma Huainan took the pause in cannon fire as a sign that the weapons had run out of energy and ordered his believers to counterattack.
• Yang Fan directed Yang Da to coordinate with Yang Shi and use the growing corpse poison and corrosive acid to weaken the enemy while consuming Ma Huainan’s billion believers.
• The armies clashed in close combat, where Ma Huainan’s War God Physique believers inflicted heavy losses on the zombies, and more ordinary zombies joined the frontline as expendable troops.
• As corpse miasma poisoned the battlefield, Ma Huainan regained his confidence and threatened to make Yang Fan repay his Divine Kingdom’s losses a thousandfold.

Yang Fan’s forces used acid rain, corpse poison, and swarms of zombies to annihilate Ma Huainan’s billion-strong army after a month of fighting. Yang Fan ordered reinforcements and continued the campaign, then refused Sima Yurou’s invitation to meet in person.

• Ma Huainan ordered his believers to endure the acid rain and charge the Zombie Army rather than retreat, while the Ten-Thousand Corpse War Tombs encircled his forces.
• Yang Shi used walls of ordinary zombies to slow Ma Huainan’s army as corpse poison infected and weakened the believers, turning some into zombies.
• A month later, Ma Huainan’s billion believers were annihilated, and he vowed to return after preparing to destroy Yang Fan’s forces and find his Divine Kingdom coordinates.
• Yang Fan ordered ten billion zombie believers sent as reinforcements and told Yang Da to have Yang Shi continue destroying Ma Huainan’s Divine Kingdom environment.
• Lu Wan told Yang Fan that Sima Yurou had invited them to a meal to apologize, but Yang Fan refused because his forces were still searching for her Divine Kingdom coordinates.

Ma Huainan paid compensation for defective weapons, suspended his investments, and prepared to counter the Zombie Army as he wondered whether Yang Fan was behind the attack. Meanwhile, Yang Fan's forces advanced into Ma Huainan's agricultural heartland, where he ordered the farms and equipment destroyed.

• Ma Huainan argued with an intelligent-weapons supplier over the contract and reluctantly agreed to pay compensation for equipment ruined by acid rain.
• After learning the Zombie Army had spread corpse poison and damaged his investment zones, Ma Huainan halted investment and ordered urgent purchases of protective equipment and war resources.
• Ma Huainan suspected Yang Fan might be supporting the Corpse Cultivation deity attacking him, but doubted that Yang Fan could have found his Divine Kingdom so quickly.
• Over the following days, Ma Huainan's believers harassed Yang Fan's forces and fought while retreating, slowing the Zombie Army and consuming some of Yang Fan's resources.
• On the seventh day, Yang Fan's Zombie Army reached the central region and found extensive Spirit Fields and agricultural facilities.
• Yang Fan dismissed the agricultural assets and ordered them destroyed.

Yang Fan’s zombie army pushed through Ma Huainan’s Divine Kingdom, destroying its investments before Ma Huainan committed his fifty-billion-strong army to a decisive battle. Yang Fan ordered Yang Shi to devour the enemy army and prepared reinforcements for the confrontation he expected afterward.

• Yang Fan buried Corpse Cores in Ma Huainan’s Spirit Fields and used ten billion zombie followers to spread the destruction through the Divine Kingdom’s scattered investments.
• On the ninth day in the Real World, Yang Fan’s army reached the outskirts of Ma Huainan’s Divine Kingdom Core and found defensive buildings that Yang Fan judged ineffective.
• On the tenth day, Ma Huainan led fifty billion followers, including several thousand Martial Kings, into an open battlefield fortified with formations, remaining defenses, and advanced protective armor.
• Yang Da explained Ma Huainan’s battlefield choice and identified the enemy armor; Yang Fan ordered Yang Shi to devour the entire army and directed reinforcements from the Eternal Corpse Mine to the Frontline.
• Ma Huainan accused the hidden god behind the zombies of destroying his Divine Kingdom’s assets, asking why his opponent had chosen destruction instead of taking the four trillion Divinity Points’ worth of investments.

Ma Huainan led his fifty-billion-strong army into a final defense of his ruined Divine Kingdom, only for Yang Shi to reveal an enormous force of intelligent-weapon zombies. As the bombardment battered Ma Huainan’s followers, he struggled to believe the scale of his opponent’s arsenal and urged his army to hold the line.

• Ma Huainan wondered why his opponent had destroyed most of his Divine Kingdom and demanded to know whether Yang Fan had sent the attacker, but received no answer.
• Ma Huainan rallied his fifty-billion-strong army for a final battle to defend the Divine Kingdom Core.
• Yang Shi ordered ten billion Zombie Generals and five billion Zombie Kings to attack with their intelligent weapons at full power.
• The zombie army unleashed successive energy-cannon volleys that battered Ma Huainan’s forces across the battlefield.
• Ma Huainan was stunned by the billions of intelligent weapons and urged his followers to endure the bombardment until the enemy’s firepower weakened.

Yang Fan’s forces continued bombarding Ma Huainan’s army, but Ma Huainan deployed two S-Class [Immortal War-Spirit Steles] to restore his believers’ strength and drive their advance toward Yang Shi’s zombie army. Confident that his rare war buildings could turn the battle around, Ma Huainan prepared to challenge Yang Fan’s overwhelming firepower.

• Yang Fan ordered Yang Yi to send war supplies to the front and bring the remaining [Flesh Calamity Broodmothers] into the battle.
• Ma Huainan realized the intelligent weapons had not run out of energy and learned from his Artificial Lifeform that Yang Fan had concealed their endurance.
• Ma Huainan deployed two [Immortal War-Spirit Steles], strengthening his believers and stabilizing their blood-red formation.
• Ma Huainan’s army resumed its advance through the energy-cannon barrage, and he boasted that the Sima Family’s investment had given him war buildings Yang Fan could not simply buy.

Ma Huainan’s army charged at Yang Fan’s forces, but Yang Shi deployed twenty Flesh Calamity Broodmothers that filled the battlefield with poisonous, corrosive rivers. Ma Huainan’s believers tried to cross by forming a human bridge, and despite heavy losses, a Martial King rallied them to keep advancing.

• Ma Huainan planned to seize and sell the enemy’s weapons after winning, while Yang Shi dismissed his two Immortal War-Spirit Steles as unimpressive.
• Yang Shi ordered the White Jiangshi Commander to deploy twenty Flesh Calamity Broodmothers, which released poison and corrosive liquid to divide the armies.
• Ma Huainan learned that the broodmothers were S-class war buildings and ordered his believers to charge through them at any cost.
• Ma Huainan’s believers entered the Poison River, where their protective gear corroded and exposed soldiers began turning into zombies.
• A Martial Master officer killed a zombifying believer and ordered protected soldiers to lie in the river as a human bridge, but an energy cannon blast killed him and scattered venom among the troops.
• A Martial King believer steadied the disrupted formation and urged the army to keep charging for their Divine Kingdom and god.

Ma Huainan's followers crossed the poisonous river and attacked Yang Shi's Flesh Calamity Broodmothers, but their defenses and rapid healing made the assault costly. As Ma Huainan feared his formation would fail, Yang Shi ordered the Suicide Squad Plan while Ma Huainan resolved not to surrender his Divine Kingdom coordinates to the Sima Family.

• Ma Huainan's followers crossed the corrosive river despite heavy casualties and attacked the twenty Flesh Calamity Broodmothers with their formation.
• The Broodmothers healed from the attacks and released Poison Gas, which Ma Huainan's followers suppressed using costly antidote potions.
• Yang Shi ordered No. 2 to execute the Suicide Squad Plan, and zombie generals equipped with Fourth-Tier Intelligent Weapons took black iron balls toward the front line.
• Ma Huainan watched the Broodmothers withstand the assault and worried that his formation would eventually collapse.
• Ma Huainan decided he must avoid revealing his Divine Kingdom coordinates to the Sima Family until the last possible moment.

Ma Huainan’s army was devastated by zombie suicide attacks using corpse-poison-coated Micro-Nuclear Bombs, which also turned survivors into zombies and plunged the battlefield into chaos. Yang Fan learned that Yang Shi had devised the tactic, and the war continued in a brutal turn.

• A blast erupted inside Ma Huainan’s formation, and Zombie Kings used their Fourth-Tier Intelligent Weapons to hurl Zombie Generals carrying Micro-Nuclear Bombs into the Human Race army.
• The bombs shattered the Poison River and killed tens of thousands of believers, while the Artificial Lifeform warned Ma Huainan that the attackers were using suicide strikes.
• Ma Huainan discovered that corpse poison from the explosions was infecting survivors and corroding his Advanced Protective Gear, then laughed in admiration of the enemy’s ruthless tactics.
• More Zombie Generals detonated their bombs across the battlefield, and poisoned survivors, including Martial Master-level fighters, gradually turned into zombies and attacked their former comrades.
• Yang Fan asked whether Yang Shi had devised the tactic, and Yang Da explained that it was inspired by a Black Armored Beetle Clan demigod and enabled by the war supplies Yang Fan had purchased.
• Yang Fan frowned slightly when Yang Da called the trained attackers a Suicide Squad.

Yang Fan approved the Suicide Squad’s use of intelligent zombie generals and watched as its attacks shattered Ma Huainan’s army and the Immortal War-Spirit Stele formation. Ma Huainan admitted defeat and withdrew his consciousness, vowing to destroy Yang Fan’s Divine Kingdom one day.

• Yang Da explained that the Suicide Squad was isolated, ideologically educated, and barred from further cultivation once its members became zombie generals, and Yang Fan ordered a reward for Yang Shi.
• More Suicide Squad members attacked Ma Huainan’s army with Micro-Nuclear Bombs, breaking the Immortal War-Spirit Stele formation.
• Yang Fan’s intelligent weapons devastated the exposed human army, while ordinary zombies emerged from the Ten-Thousand Corpse War Tomb and infected wounded believers.
• Ma Huainan realized his fifty-billion-strong army was lost and his remaining believers could not defend the Divine Kingdom Core region.
• Ma Huainan withdrew his consciousness from the Divine Kingdom after swearing that he would one day destroy Yang Fan’s Divine Kingdom.

Ma Huainan summoned federal reinforcements to defend his Divine Kingdom against Yang Fan, and five Third-Order Gods arrived with a massive human army. Weng Chonghe urged Yang Fan to withdraw, while Yang Da explained that the federal team hoped to end its mission without fighting.

• Ma Huainan disclosed his Divine Kingdom Coordinates to the Sima Family and contacted the Federation's Supreme Artificial Lifeform, One, for emergency support.
• A hundred-billion-strong human army and five Third-Order Gods arrived in Ma Huainan's Divine Kingdom, where Ma Huainan returned and thanked the reinforcements.
• The Mechanical God Weng Chonghe discovered that Yang Fan's zombie army belonged to the human race and told him that federal law required protection of Peerless Monster-level geniuses.
• Yang Da explained that the federal team was trying to persuade Yang Fan to withdraw so it could complete its mission without fighting, and Yang Fan called their conduct slacking off on the job.

Yang Fan revealed that his Zombie Kingdom had grown to a hundred-billion-strong army, alarming the Federal Government’s five Third-Order Gods sent to protect Ma Huainan. As the reinforcements weighed the enemy’s overwhelming strength, Weng Chonghe suggested they might be unable to help, leaving Ma Huainan stunned.

• Yang Fan ordered Yang Da to tell Yang Shi that reinforcements had arrived and to use the S-Rank War Weapons and disposable supplies.
• Yang Fan's Zombie Army marched to the front lines of Ma Huainan's Divine Kingdom, matching the human army at a hundred billion troops.
• Weng Chonghe saw the vast Zombie Army and Ten-Thousand Corpse War Tombs and declared that the sides would have to settle the matter through battle.
• A Federal Government god reported that the enemy had more than a hundred million Rank A War Structures and twenty S-Rank War Structures, and worried that the reinforcements would take a loss.
• Ma Huainan realized Yang Fan had held back during their previous battle and regretted not making his coordinates public sooner.
• Weng Chonghe told Ma Huainan that the invader might be too powerful for them to defeat, leaving Ma Huainan shocked.

Ma Huainan agreed to pay Weng Chonghe and his four brothers twenty million military merit each to defend his Divine Kingdom. As the armies clashed, the defenders discovered the opposing Corpse-Cultivating God commanded tens of billions of intelligent weapons, and their formation began to fail under the bombardment.

• Weng Chonghe demanded twenty million military merit from Ma Huainan for each of the five brothers, and Ma Huainan accepted.
• Ma Huainan reflected bitterly that the people who had once surrounded him had valued his status and potential for profit.
• Weng Chonghe declared that the five brothers would drive the invader from Ma Huainan's Divine Kingdom and ordered his army forward.
• Vast numbers of high-end zombie followers emerged from the Ten-Thousand Corpse War Tomb and attacked with intelligent weapons.
• Weng Chonghe suspected a Mechanical God was backing the Corpse-Cultivating God as the barrage battered the Human Race army's defensive formation.
• An energy cannon blast breached the formation and killed tens of thousands of followers.

Yang Shi’s army endured the Cultivation Believers’ counterattack by deploying the Flesh Calamity Broodmothers in their defensive forms. Their regeneration and area defenses blocked nearly ninety percent of the enemy’s attacks, leaving Weng Chonghe stunned.

• Weng Chonghe ordered his brothers to counterattack with the Immortal-Slaying Pagodas after the opening barrage devastated the Grand Array’s forces.
• Yang Shi activated the Flesh Calamity Broodmothers’ second-stage defensive mode, and twenty transformed giants withstood the pagodas’ flames and sword qi.
• Weng Chonghe ordered the Cultivation Believers and mechanical believers to combine formation-powered Spellcraft with cannon fire while the intelligent weapons recharged.
• Yang Shi deployed every Flesh Calamity Broodmother and ordered his troops to shelter beneath the Ten-Thousand Corpse War Tombs if attacks slipped through.
