Chapter Summaries

Chapter Summary: Life Aura Surged Once More

Key Plot Points and Events

• Yang Fan is astonished by the Luo Family’s extreme efforts to win his support, including offering him their prodigious daughter. Since the arrangement benefits him and creates no immediate disadvantage, he accepts it calmly, intending to repay the family if he becomes powerful enough.
• He receives several rewards:
  • 1 billion Faith Points for entering the Luo Family’s top ten.
  • 10 billion Faith Points for ranking first in the Luo Family’s Divine Kingdom simulation battle.
  • A B-Grade Immortal-Nurturing Tower from his school.
  • A B-Grade Alchemy Tower and 10,000 Divinity Points from the Luo Family.
  • An A-Grade Spirit Vein from the federal government.
• Yang Fan asks Yang Yi and Yang Er about his new “Human Prodigy” evaluation. He learns that the Human Race ranks geniuses in six tiers, and Human Prodigies are guaranteed—if they survive—to reach at least the Fourth-Order God level, with the strongest reaching the Eighth Order.
• This explains the Luo Family’s sudden change in attitude. Their current strongest member, Luo Hai, is only a Third-Order God, so Yang Fan’s potential to become a Mid-Order God could greatly elevate the family.
• Yang Fan examines the three new Divine Kingdom buildings:
  • The Alchemy Tower improves pill-refining success rates and supports large-scale production.
  • The Immortal-Nurturing Tower increases cultivation speed, breakthrough success, and resistance to inner demons for up to 100,000 believers.
  • The Spirit Vein produces one million Spirit Stones every thirty years, improves spiritual energy density, and strengthens the Divine Kingdom’s long-term resource economy.
• Although Yang Fan would currently prefer more cultivation-enhancing structures, he recognizes the Spirit Vein’s immense value and realizes that his Divine Kingdom already possesses more resources than his believers can consume.
• He orders Yang Yi to install all three buildings on Penglai Island. Their activation causes a dramatic transformation:
  • The Spirit Vein releases vast spiritual energy.
  • The Alchemy Tower establishes an efficient energy and fire-source cycle.
  • The Immortal-Nurturing Tower spreads a life-enhancing aura, causing plants, spiritual herbs, and living beings to grow stronger.
• The chapter ends with the Divine Kingdom’s life aura surging to a new level.

Character Developments

• Power and status: Yang Fan’s Human Prodigy evaluation changes how others perceive him and highlights the importance of future growth in the divine hierarchy.
• Resource abundance versus practical needs: Yang Fan possesses enormous wealth and infrastructure, but his greatest current need is improving his believers’ cultivation rather than accumulating more resources.
• Divine Kingdom development: The chapter emphasizes the gradual construction of Yang Fan’s Divine Kingdom into a self-sustaining ecosystem with cultivation, production, and resource-generation systems.
• Life and growth: The activation of the Immortal-Nurturing Tower and Spirit Vein symbolizes the Divine Kingdom becoming more vibrant and powerful.

Important Character Interactions

• Yang Fan reflects on the Luo Family’s attempts to win him over and mentally acknowledges Luo Hai’s decisiveness.
• Yang Fan consults Yang Yi and Yang Er about the meaning of his Human Prodigy status and the functions of the new buildings.
• He gives Yang Yi direct orders to install the Alchemy Tower, Immortal-Nurturing Tower, and Spirit Vein, initiating the Divine Kingdom’s latest transformation.

Chapter Summary: “Visitors from Primordial City”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Yang Fan’s newly acquired Spirit Vein, an A-Class Divine Kingdom building, takes root and dramatically improves the environment of his Divine Kingdom. It enhances spiritual energy, accelerates cultivation for all living beings, and promises enormous long-term benefits.
• Because Yang Fan has artificial lifeforms managing the Divine Kingdom, he returns to reality instead of personally overseeing its development.
• At home, Yang Fan meets his parents and Luo Rou. Luo Bing is absent, and the situation involving Yang Fan’s additional relationship is implicitly acknowledged.
• Principal Hong Bing and Yang County Magistrate Wang Yun arrive to see Yang Fan off. They explain that, because Human Prodigies may be targeted by other races, his departure is being kept secret.
• Wang Yun urges Yang Fan not to forget Yang County after he becomes powerful and asks him to help his hometown in the future. Yang Fan promises to do so.
• A massive futuristic spacecraft arrives through a spatial rift above Yangcheng Villa. Its dramatic appearance attracts the attention of the entire county.
• A proud female Third-Order God from Primordial City emerges and identifies Yang Fan through a beam of light. She transports him into the vessel.
• The spacecraft departs instantly through another spatial rift, taking Yang Fan away from Yang County.
• Afterward, Hong Bing expresses anger at the woman’s arrogance and wishes to challenge her. Wang Yun warns him that Primordial City’s residents likely possess far stronger foundations despite having the same cultivation realm. They also worry about explaining the incident to the mayor.

Character Developments

• Yang Fan: Demonstrates growing power and status. His Divine Kingdom continues to develop rapidly, and his recognition as a Human Prodigy brings him under the protection and control of the Federal Government. He also solemnly accepts responsibility toward his hometown.
• Luo Rou: Shows maturity and restraint regarding Yang Fan’s other relationship. Although she is uncomfortable, she accepts the reality that Yang Fan’s exceptional strength gives him privileges and responsibilities beyond ordinary social expectations. Her concern for her unborn child influences her decision to remain supportive.
• Sun Rong: Feels pride in Yang Fan but also emotional distance, recognizing that his extraordinary talent is taking him away from the family.
• Wang Yun: Acts as a respectful but pragmatic county official. He values Yang Fan’s potential and tries to establish a future connection between the prodigy and Yang County.
• Hong Bing: Displays a more direct and combative personality, resenting the visitor’s arrogance. He is also clearly surprised by the degree of importance placed on Yang Fan.
• The Primordial City guide: Appears powerful, cold, and dismissive toward local authorities. Her behavior emphasizes the superior status of Primordial City and its residents.

Significant Themes

• Power and social hierarchy: The chapter portrays a society where strength determines status, resources, relationships, and political influence.
• The burden of exceptional talent: Yang Fan’s immense potential gives him opportunities but also separates him from his family and exposes him to danger and political expectations.
• Family versus ambition: Sun Rong and Luo Rou both recognize that Yang Fan’s path will lead him away from an ordinary family life.
• Hometown loyalty and obligation: Wang Yun’s request highlights the expectation that powerful individuals should eventually repay the places that supported them.
• Hidden power and unequal foundations: Equal cultivation realms do not necessarily indicate equal strength. Primordial City’s residents possess deeper resources and foundations, making them far more formidable than local experts.
• Technological and cosmic advancement: The futuristic vessel and spatial technology reveal a civilization far beyond Yang County’s level of development.

Important Character Interactions

• Yang Fan and Luo Rou: Luo Rou reassures him that she will not cause trouble over his relationship, emphasizing her practical and submissive approach to their marriage.
• Yang Fan and Sun Rong: His mother questions when he will return, revealing her sadness at his impending departure and the emotional cost of his rise.
• Yang Fan, Wang Yun, and Hong Bing: The officials formally acknowledge his importance while Wang Yun requests that he remember and aid Yang County.
• Primordial City guide and local officials: The guide’s arrogant response to Wang Yun creates tension and highlights the gap between Primordial City and the local authorities.
• Hong Bing and Wang Yun: Their exchange after Yang Fan’s departure contrasts Hong Bing’s impulsiveness with Wang Yun’s caution and realistic assessment of Primordial City’s strength.

Chapter Summary: “Tenfold Timeflow (S-Rank)”

Key Plot Points and Events

• At the Luo Family Territory, Luo Mingxuan learns that the family has chosen to invest all its resources in Yang Fan instead of him. His father, Luo Xuan, orders him to leave the family and plans to place him in a distant county-level city with a villa.
• Luo Mingxuan reluctantly accepts, but secretly develops resentment and venom toward his father and possibly Yang Fan. Luo Xuan, disappointed by his son’s actions, begins considering finding a new heir.
• In the Virtual World classroom, teacher Cao Wang announces that Yang Fan has been admitted to Primordial Academy without taking the entrance examination.
• The class is shocked and envious after witnessing the Federation’s extraordinary treatment of Yang Fan. Many students regret having bullied or antagonized him in the past, especially after realizing they may have lost the chance to benefit from his future success.
• Li Tianheng, who had encouraged or participated in the bullying, sits in silence, overwhelmed by regret and anxiety.
• During the journey to Primordial City, Yang Fan meets Tang Yue, a protector assigned to him until he becomes a God. She addresses him as “Your Highness,” a title reserved for individuals classified as Human Prodigies.
• Tang Yue explains that the Federation’s Supreme Artificial Lifeform has inferred that Yang Fan possesses a powerful hidden talent, likely related to the flow of time. This alarms Yang Fan because his true SSS-Rank talent is one of his greatest secrets.
• Yang Fan undergoes an extensive examination in which robots collect data from his Divine Kingdom, including samples of soil, ores, water, air, and believers of various ranks.
• The examination identifies his apparent talent as S-Rank Tenfold Timeflow, rather than discovering his true SSS-Rank talent.
• Yang Fan is relieved that his secret remains safe. He realizes that the Artificial Lifeform mistook the effects of his current Evolution Talent for the power of Tenfold Timeflow.

Character Developments

• Yang Fan: Becomes increasingly cautious about concealing his true power. Although nervous that Primordial Academy might expose his SSS-Rank talent, he is relieved when the examination produces a false but plausible result. He begins to understand how his Divine Kingdom’s unusually rapid development could be interpreted as an S-Rank time-related talent.
• Luo Mingxuan: Loses his privileged position within the Luo Family and is forced into exile-like separation. His outward reluctance hides growing resentment and possible plans for revenge.
• Luo Xuan: Turns against his son after Luo Mingxuan’s disastrous actions, prioritizing the family’s future and Yang Fan’s potential over familial loyalty.
• Li Tianheng and Yang Fan’s former classmates: Realize they have damaged their relationship with a future prodigy. Their envy and regret replace their former hostility.
• Tang Yue: Shows great respect toward Yang Fan and takes on the role of his personal protector. She calmly explains the Federation’s evaluation system and treats his talents as highly valuable.

Significant Themes

• Talent and resource competition: The chapter emphasizes that Divine Kingdom development depends not only on innate ability but also on access to resources and institutional support.
• The consequences of bullying and poor judgment: Yang Fan’s former classmates recognize that mistreating him has cost them a valuable future connection.
• Family ambition and abandonment: The Luo Family’s treatment of Luo Mingxuan shows how quickly familial support can disappear when a person becomes a liability to the family’s interests.
• Secrecy and misdirection: Yang Fan’s greatest advantage remains hidden because the Federation’s advanced technology can only infer, rather than directly detect, certain talents.
• Institutional power and recognition: Admission to Primordial Academy and the title “Your Highness” establish Yang Fan’s elevated status and foreshadow his growing importance to humanity.

Character Interactions

• Luo Xuan tries to explain the family’s decision to Luo Mingxuan, but his cold attitude makes clear that his son has already lost the family’s confidence.
• The classroom’s reaction to Cao Wang’s announcement reveals the changed social position between Yang Fan and his former classmates.
• Tang Yue treats Yang Fan with unusual gentleness and respect, explaining both his title and the Federation’s talent-assessment process.
• Yang Fan cautiously questions Tang Yue about the examination, hiding his anxiety while testing how much the Federation knows about him.
• The chapter ends with Tang Yue preparing to explain the effects of Tenfold Timeflow while Yang Fan pretends to understand, privately aware that the Federation has misidentified his true ability.

Chapter Summary: “City in Reality”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Tang Yue explains the difference between Yang Fan’s SSS-rank Tenfold Evolution Talent and the ordinary S-rank Tenfold Timeflow Talent. Tenfold Timeflow accelerates believers’ cultivation by consuming the Divine Kingdom’s energy, potentially killing other lifeforms or even causing the kingdom to collapse. Yang Fan’s Evolution Talent, by contrast, has extremely low costs and improves the entire Divine Kingdom—including believers, plants, land, and rocks.
• Yang Fan realizes that his talent is far more powerful and sustainable than people believe, especially since others assume it is merely an S-rank ability.
• Tang Yue advises him to obtain more resource-generating structures, particularly Spirit Veins, to support the future growth of his Divine Kingdom. Yang Fan suspects the Federation’s Artificial Lifeform gave him a Spirit Vein because it had already understood his needs.
• During the journey to Primordial City, Yang Fan learns that the Primordial Academy recruits over a thousand S-rank-talent prodigies every year. This reassures him that he will not stand out excessively among the academy’s elite.
• Tang Yue gives Yang Fan an access key required to enter Primordial City in both reality and the Virtual World, along with information for his Artificial Lifeform to study.
• Yang Fan arrives in Primordial City, discovering that it is a vast, technologically advanced metropolis built on a planet in the center of the Human Federation. The city’s trading district is crowded with real people, Gods, businesses, and physical exchanges of strategic resources.
• Tang Yue explains that real-world trading is preferred for rare and strategic goods because it avoids taxes and transaction fees and allows access to items unavailable through ordinary markets.
• She brings Yang Fan to his school residence and advises him to consider accepting corporate contracts, since acquiring resources and becoming stronger quickly will be crucial.
• Tang Yue leaves for her own apartment, traveling by taxi because Primordial City forbids flying. Yang Fan is struck by the contrast between her high status in Yang County and her ordinary position within Primordial City.

Character Developments

• Yang Fan gains a deeper understanding of the exceptional nature of his Evolution Talent and becomes more confident in its superiority over Tenfold Timeflow. He also begins to recognize the enormous scale of Primordial City and the academy’s elite environment.
• He remains cautious about revealing his true talent level, but feels safer knowing that many S-rank prodigies attend Primordial Academy.
• Tang Yue acts as Yang Fan’s guide and protector, offering practical advice about resources, contracts, transportation, and life in Primordial City. Her envy of Yang Fan’s school residence reveals the difference in their social positions.
• Yang Fan’s perception of Tang Yue changes: although she is powerful in their home region, Primordial City places her closer to the status of an ordinary worker.

Significant Themes

• Growth versus consumption: Tenfold Timeflow strengthens believers by draining the Divine Kingdom’s foundation, whereas Yang Fan’s Evolution Talent promotes the development of the entire world.
• The importance of resources: Even a supreme talent requires sufficient energy and material support to reach its full potential.
• Scale and perspective: Status is relative. A Third-Order God who dominates a remote region may seem ordinary in the Federation’s central metropolis.
• Reality versus virtual existence: Primordial City emphasizes physical presence and real-world exchanges, particularly for rare and strategic resources.
• Hidden power and identity: Yang Fan benefits from others misunderstanding his true talent, allowing him to remain inconspicuous among countless prodigies.

Character Interactions

• Tang Yue educates Yang Fan about Divine Kingdom talents, resource management, and Primordial City’s rules.
• Yang Fan asks questions throughout the journey, showing his curiosity and willingness to learn.
• Tang Yue comforts him when she assumes he is worried about the danger of Divine Kingdom collapse, though Yang Fan’s actual talent has almost no such risk.
• She gives him the access key and informational materials, then offers continued protection and transportation assistance.
• Their farewell highlights the social hierarchy of Primordial City: Tang Yue remains proud of her place there, while Yang Fan begins to understand how vast and competitive the wider Federation is.

Summary: “Ruthless Training Methods”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Yang Fan settles into his plain residence in Primordial City and jokes that Primordial Academy may be deliberately discouraging comfort.
• Yang Yi briefs him on the academy’s structure:
  • Primordial Academy has no traditional teachers, classes, or student competitions for Gods.
  • Instead, Yang Fan’s believers can study through the Virtual World under experts from powerful Divine Kingdoms.
  • Available subjects include cultivation, martial skills, smithing, alchemy, and mechanics.
• The academy’s Primordial Battlefield contains ten million believers who fight Foreign-Race armies. A student’s ranking is based on the overall performance of their believers.
  • Rankings within the top one million, one hundred thousand, ten thousand, and one hundred earn resource rewards.
  • Yang Fan must complete his first battlefield test within three days.
• Graduation is possible by either:
  1. Advancing to the First-Order God realm, or
  2. Remaining in Primordial City for four years, after which graduation is compulsory.
• Yang Yi explains the Foreign-Race Divine Kingdom District, where students above the Demigod level may fight imprisoned Foreign-Race Gods. The winner claims the loser’s Divine Kingdom foundation, while the loser dies permanently. The academy offers no rescue or intervention.
• Primordial City also provides trading channels where rare strategic resources and buildings can be bought or exchanged offline.
• Yang Yi adds Yang Fan to the freshman group chat, where students discuss rankings, trade opportunities, and social activities.

Character Developments

• He adopts a cautious attitude toward the Foreign-Race Divine Kingdom District, deciding that he can avoid it if necessary because participation is optional.
• Yang Yi continues functioning as a highly useful information-gathering assistant, providing Yang Fan with detailed knowledge about academy rules and facilities.
• Luo Rou remains affectionate and curious, greeting Yang Fan warmly and showing excitement about his admission to the legendary Primordial City.

Significant Themes

• Freedom versus supervision: Primordial Academy gives students almost complete freedom, offering little direct instruction or interference.
• Survival of the strongest: The academy’s battlefield and Divine Kingdom duels treat death and failure as acceptable parts of cultivating elite Gods.
• Risk and opportunity: Primordial City provides unmatched resources and opportunities, but its benefits come with severe dangers.
• Indirect growth through believers: Yang Fan’s advancement depends not only on his own cultivation but also on educating and strengthening his believers.
• Isolation versus community: Although Yang Fan’s physical surroundings are simple and students receive little direct guidance, Primordial City is socially active and full of trading, discussion, and competition.

Character Interactions

• Yang Fan questions Yang Yi about Primordial Academy’s educational methods, battlefield, graduation rules, foreign-race duels, and trading system.
• Yang Yi explains that believers—not Gods—attend Virtual World classes, highlighting Yang Fan’s unusual role as both student and manager of his believers’ development.
• Yang Fan briefly observes the freshman group chat, seeing other students discuss their experiences and concerns.
• Luo Rou embraces Yang Fan in the Virtual World and asks him about Primordial City. Their exchange emphasizes their close relationship and contrasts her excitement with Yang Fan’s difficulty conveying the city’s unique nature.

Chapter Summary: “Primordial School, Corporate Recruitment”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Luo Rou tells Yang Fan that her Divine Kingdom has fully recovered. The Luo Family head personally recruited a Fourth-Order God from Southern Heaven City, whose follower easily purified the Death Spider Empress’s poison.
• Yang Fan enters Primordial City and connects to the Primordial Battlefield for his first official assessment.
• He deploys his strongest forces: forty-six Fifth-Order lifeforms, fifty thousand Fourth-Order lifeforms, two million Third-Order lifeforms, and nearly eight million Second-Order lifeforms—about ten million followers in total.
• Yang Er commands the army using the Mysterious Turtle Annihilation Formation. Despite their formation and strength, Yang Fan’s forces are overwhelmed and annihilated within ten breaths as the enemy’s strength and numbers rapidly increase.
• Yang Fan receives a school ranking of 8.42 million and 1,000 years of free Primordial School class time for one follower. He learns that the Academy has more than ten million students, including over two million Demigods.
• Yang Yi explains that Primordial School time is extremely valuable: one day in reality equals one year in the school, but the free reward applies to only a single follower. Class time can also be purchased with Divinity Points.
• The school is intended to help talented followers develop advanced abilities such as cultivation, forging, and alchemy, allowing knowledge to spread throughout Yang Fan’s Divine Kingdom across generations.
• Yang Fan orders Yang Yi to select 1,000 talented followers to study the Everlasting Spring Art. If the results are successful, he plans to invest heavily in further education.
• At the end of the chapter, a lawyer from Origin Pill Corporation arrives and offers Yang Fan an investment contract, suggesting that a major corporation is seeking to recruit or support him.

Character Developments

• Yang Fan: Gains a clearer understanding of the immense scale and competitiveness of Primordial Academy. His poor initial ranking humbles him, but he quickly identifies the Primordial School as a powerful tool for strengthening his Divine Kingdom. He adopts a practical, long-term strategy focused on cultivating talented followers rather than educating everyone.
• Luo Rou: Her restored Divine Kingdom marks a major improvement in her status and security within the Luo Family. Her family now values her more highly because of her connection to Yang Fan.
• Yang Yi: Demonstrates his usefulness by providing detailed information about the Academy, its student population, the value of class time, and the optimal way to use the Primordial School.
• Yang Er: Takes on the role of battlefield commander and effectively organizes Yang Fan’s army, though even his formation cannot withstand the overwhelming enemy forces.
• Origin Pill Corporation’s lawyer: Introduces a new corporate and political element by approaching Yang Fan with an investment offer.

Significant Themes

• The vast scale of human civilization: Primordial Academy’s millions of students and countless powerful geniuses make Yang Fan realize how small his current strength is.
• Resource management and strategic development: Class time is scarce and expensive, so Yang Fan must allocate it only to followers with exceptional talent.
• Knowledge as inherited power: Skills learned in the Primordial School can be passed down through the Divine Kingdom, allowing a single investment to benefit future generations.
• The gap between potential and strength: Yang Fan possesses valuable resources and talent, but his initial battlefield defeat shows that he still falls far behind the Academy’s strongest students.
• Institutional and commercial competition: The Academy’s recruitment system and Origin Pill Corporation’s investment offer suggest that powerful organizations are beginning to take interest in Yang Fan’s growing potential.

Character Interactions

• Luo Rou excitedly shares the news of her recovery with Yang Fan, and he reassures her.
• Yang Fan relies on Yang Yi for strategic analysis and orders Yang Er to command his battlefield forces.
• Yang Fan and Yang Yi discuss the Primordial School’s costs, benefits, and educational system, leading Yang Fan to test it with 1,000 followers.
• The lawyer’s arrival shifts the story from Academy competition to outside corporate recruitment, leaving Yang Fan to consider Origin Pill Corporation’s proposal.

Chapter Summary: Heavenly Prodigy Classmates

Key Plot Points and Events

• Yang Fan reviews an investment contract from Origin Pill Corporation. The offer includes:
  • An initial subsidy of 100,000 Divinity Points.
  • Ten valuable resource-producing buildings.
  • Greater rewards after he reaches the Demigod realm.
• However, the contract requires him to work for Origin Pill Corporation for 1,000 years after becoming a God and surrender 20% of his Divine Kingdom Battlefield profits. Yang Fan rejects the deal, valuing his long-term freedom and believing his own abilities can support his development.
• His doorbell rings again, and he meets Sima Pang, his enormous next-door neighbor and fellow heavenly prodigy.
• Sima invites Yang Fan to a gathering with the other prodigies living nearby. At the restaurant, Yang Fan meets Ye Jianfeng and Wen Yushui, completing the group of four.
• The four exchange backgrounds and talents:
  • Sima Pang: One of the Sima Family head’s 107 sons; S-rank Devouring talent; Martial Arts Path.
  • Ye Jianfeng: Direct descendant of the Northern Sea Ye Family; S-rank Myriad Swords Physique; Immortal Cultivation Path.
  • Wen Yushui: Member of the Southern Heaven City Wen Family; S-rank Water God talent; Immortal Cultivation Path.
  • Yang Fan: From the remote Yang County; S-rank Tenfold Timeflow talent; Immortal Cultivation Path.
• During the meal, the group shares rare Divine Kingdom products. Sima Pang consumes huge quantities of high-energy food, while Wen Yushui offers Spirit-Awakening Tea and Ye Jianfeng provides Sword-Spirit Fruits.
• Yang Fan contributes his own Monkey Wine. Sima Pang enthusiastically drinks an entire jug, and Yang Fan reveals that he has ten more jars. This causes Ye Jianfeng and Wen Yushui to reassess him, realizing that despite his lack of family backing, his Divine Kingdom is well developed.

Character Developments

• Yang Fan demonstrates independence and confidence by rejecting Origin Pill Corporation’s lucrative but restrictive investment contract. He recognizes that his Tenfold Timeflow talent and Divine Kingdom already give him strong long-term prospects.
• He remains observant and cautious around the three wealthy prodigies, recognizing their superior current strength and aristocratic backgrounds without feeling inferior.
• By bringing out large quantities of Monkey Wine, Yang Fan subtly proves that he possesses considerable resources and is not merely an ordinary prodigy from a remote region.
• Sima Pang is established as gluttonous, straightforward, sociable, and extremely wealthy. His S-rank Devouring talent appears to influence both his appetite and his ability to consume powerful food.
• Ye Jianfeng and Wen Yushui appear refined and politically aware. Their generosity toward Sima Pang suggests they are interested in maintaining a relationship with the powerful Sima Family.
• The chapter also hints that Wen Yushui may recognize Yang County, suggesting possible future connections or revelations.

Significant Themes

• Social hierarchy and influence: The gathering reveals how family background affects relationships, particularly the attention given to Sima Pang.
• Networking among prodigies: The meal serves as an introduction to potential allies and future collaborators in Primordial City.

Chapter Summary: Human Race Power Structure

Key Plot Points and Events

• Yang Fan reveals that his Divine Kingdom can produce large quantities of Monkey Wine, a resource that enhances believers’ comprehension.
• Ye Jianfeng proposes a private, untaxed trade of 10,000 jars per month, and Yang Fan agrees. This establishes Monkey Wine as the main source of income for Yang Fan’s Divine Kingdom.
• Sima Pang offers to potentially connect Yang Fan with the Sima Family, though he clarifies that investment decisions are handled by his third brother and that they are not yet close enough for him to make a direct recommendation.
• Yang Fan admits that he knows little about the Human Federation because he was raised in the remote Yang County. Sima Pang then explains the Federation’s power structure:
  • The Federal Government controls laws and the military.
  • The Virtual Universe Company controls the consciousness network, Divine Kingdom transactions, and most information and resource circulation.
  • The Five Giants are the Sima Family, Lu Consortium, Han Military Command, Gu Spiritual Domain, and Qin Technology Alliance.
• Wen Yushui explains that these powers dominate industries, resources, military operations, cultivation, technology, and trade while competing and infiltrating one another.

• Sima Pang creates a group chat for the four students to exchange information and privately trade strategic resources for their Divine Kingdoms.
• On their way downstairs, an arrogant young man insults Sima Pang after being forced aside. Ye Jianfeng responds with sword intent, causing the man severe pain and making him immediately show fear and respect.

His Monkey Wine business gives him economic independence and makes him valuable to major powers. He also recognizes how uninformed he is about the Federation’s political and economic hierarchy.
• Ye Jianfeng: Demonstrates business-minded practicality by proposing tax-free trade. He also displays an aggressive, protective side when he humiliates the young man who insults Sima Pang.
• Wen Yushui: Shows envy toward Yang Fan’s resources and curiosity about powerful geniuses. Her cold response about “hiding from someone” hints at a troubling personal history or conflict.
• Sima Pang: Proves to be knowledgeable, politically connected, and more perceptive than his appearance suggests. Although he is willing to help Yang Fan, he carefully maintains boundaries because they are only newly acquainted. He also takes the initiative in forming a cooperative network among the students.
• Ma Huainan: Though absent, he is established as an exceptional SS-rank talent and a major rival or benchmark for the new students.

Significant Themes

• Power and influence: The chapter explains that Human Race society is controlled by a complex hierarchy of governments, corporations, military groups, aristocratic families, and specialized alliances.
• Economic interdependence: Resources, Divine Kingdom development, taxation, investment, and private trade are central to advancement.
• Networking and alliances: Cooperation among talented students is presented as essential preparation for future Divine Kingdom battles.
• Hidden strength and social status: Yang Fan’s humble origins contrast with his unexpectedly rich resources, while Sima Pang’s unassuming appearance hides his powerful family position.
• Competition among prodigies: The achievements of SS-rank geniuses emphasize how difficult it is for ordinary S-rank talents to stand out at Primordial Academy.
• Secrets and personal motives: Wen Yushui’s unexplained need to hide suggests unresolved danger or conflict.

Character Interactions

• Yang Fan, Ye Jianfeng, Wen Yushui, and Sima Pang begin forming a mutually beneficial relationship based on trade, information exchange, and shared goals.

Key Plot Points and Events

• After leaving the tavern, Yang Fan observes Ye Jianfeng’s domineering treatment of lower-ranked students and learns more about Primordial Academy’s strict hierarchy.
• Ye explains that students are ranked as monstrous geniuses, prodigies, and A–D grades. Higher-ranked students may humiliate or beat lower-ranked students as long as no one is killed.

• Wen Yushui reveals that they must reach the top one million on the Primordial Battlefield within two years or risk demotion and expulsion from their elite social circle.

• Yang Fan raises the school’s daily funding to twenty Divinity Points, directing all of it toward researching and teaching the Everlasting Spring Art.
• He then asks Tang Yue to accompany him to Primordial City’s trading district, which sells strategic buildings and resources.
• In the district, Yang Fan learns that the market is divided into resource, special, combat-power, and wonder-type buildings. His current authority allows him to purchase A-rank buildings or below.
• At Yuan Zong’s shop, Yang Fan examines a catalog of powerful buildings, including the Stellar Core Energy Well, Spirit Beast Breeding Grounds, Elemental Fusion Pool, Spirit Vein, Spatial Farm, and others.
• Yang Fan questions the high price of the Spirit Vein, whose direct financial returns appear weak. Yang Yi explains that its greater value lies in improving the Divine Kingdom’s environment and cultivation conditions, while its market scarcity also inflates its price.
• Yang Yi recommends prioritizing B-rank buildings for now. Yang Fan orders the catalog to be recorded and analyzed later by the marketplace’s Artificial Lifeform.

Character Developments

• Strength and potential determine status: Primordial City’s society gives greater respect to promising young talents than to older or stronger individuals with less future potential.
• Competition as education: The academy’s permissive attitude toward nonlethal humiliation and violence is designed to force students to improve.
• Investment and long-term growth: Yang Fan must balance immediate economic gains with infrastructure that strengthens his Divine Kingdom and believers over time.
• Resource inequality and elite privilege: Access to powerful buildings, strategic resources, and family connections separates top-ranked students from ordinary cultivators.
• The importance of strategic planning: Raw power is not enough; Yang Fan relies on Yang Yi’s analysis to determine which buildings will best support his development.

Character Interactions

• Ye Jianfeng explains the academy’s ranking system and reassures Yang Fan that high-ranked students can dominate lower-ranked ones.
• Wen Yushui lightens the mood with playful teasing while reminding the group of their two-year battlefield deadline.

Chapter Summary: Dragon Marsh Water Estate

Key Plot Points and Events

• Yang Fan and Tang Yue continue touring Primordial City’s shops, while Yang Yi records the catalogs for future reference.
• Yang Fan discovers that strategic buildings in Primordial City are heavily marked up compared with mall prices:
  • The Fountain of Life costs 40 Divinity Points, twice its mall price.
  • The Immortal-Nurturing Tower costs 1,500 Divinity Points, 600 more than the mall price.
• After learning that haggling is not permitted, Yang Fan purchases three Immortal-Nurturing Towers for 4,500 Divinity Points.
• The purchase consumes roughly half of Yang Fan’s available liquid funds, forcing him to reconsider how he allocates his remaining resources.
• At the wonder-building shop, Yang Fan finds several familiar and expensive wonders, including Spirit Peach Mountain and Penglai Island.
• Because Penglai Island is too expensive to support additional Spirit Peach Mountains, Yang Fan buys four Spirit Peach Mountains for 2,000 Divinity Points, intending to expand his Monkey Wine production.
• The shopkeeper, An Hai, explains that Spirit Peach Mountains are common in ape-like alien Gods’ Divine Kingdoms, surprising Yang Fan, who had previously considered them extremely valuable.
• Yang Fan then asks about the cheapest wonder, the Dragon Marsh Water Estate, priced at 200 Divinity Points.
• An Hai explains that it improves aquatic environments and raises Dragonfish, which can be harvested every hundred years. Dragonfish provide abundant life essence and offer returns exceeding those of Monkey Wine Springs. He offers Yang Fan a discount for a bulk purchase.

Character Developments

• Yang Fan demonstrates growing financial awareness. Although his tenfold Evolution Talent gives him strong earning potential, he realizes that Primordial Academy, strategic buildings, and believer cultivation consume enormous amounts of money.
• He becomes more cautious about spending, buying only three Immortal-Nurturing Towers and four Spirit Peach Mountains rather than exhausting his funds on overpriced resources.
• Yang Fan also becomes more open and confident in Primordial City, freely revealing that he intends to invest in Monkey Wine because he believes his current resources are not valuable enough to attract serious competition.
• Yang Yi continues acting as Yang Fan’s internal adviser, recording catalogs and warning him that Spirit Peach Mountains require a sufficient supply of immortal qi.
• Tang Yue remains protective and direct, interrupting An Hai’s aggressive sales pitch when she feels he is talking too much.
• The shopkeepers’ respectful treatment of Yang Fan emphasizes the influence of his status as a Human Prodigy, despite their own strength as Third-Order Gods.

Significant Themes

• Strategic resources and economic pressure: Primordial City offers powerful buildings, but their prices are extremely high. Wealth is necessary not only for growth but also for maintaining and expanding a Divine Kingdom.
• Investment and long-term returns: Yang Fan evaluates buildings according to their ability to generate future income, particularly through Monkey Wine and potentially Dragonfish.
• Market value versus personal value: Buildings Yang Fan considers rare, such as Spirit Peach Mountain, may be commonplace in other Divine Kingdoms, showing that an item’s value depends heavily on supply, demand, and region.
• Resource management and opportunity cost: Yang Fan must balance immediate believer development with investments that can increase his future income.
• Status and social influence: Yang Fan’s reputation as a Human Prodigy earns him courtesy and preferential treatment, though it does not eliminate the city’s high prices.

Character Interactions

• Yang Fan negotiates unsuccessfully with Cao Shaoqiu before purchasing the Immortal-Nurturing Towers, establishing that Primordial City merchants do not bargain over strategic resources.
• He speaks with An Hai about Spirit Peach Mountain and Monkey Wine production. An Hai responds with both information and a sales pitch for related immortal-qi-producing wonders.
• Tang Yue challenges An Hai’s excessive salesmanship, prompting him to apologize and explain that he was merely bored and enjoying the conversation.
• Yang Yi privately advises Yang Fan about the limitations of Penglai Island and the need to secure sufficient immortal qi before expanding Spirit Peach Mountain cultivation.

Chapter Summary: “Money Vanished Fast!”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Yang Fan investigates the profitability of Dragon Marsh Water Estates before deciding whether to invest in them.
• Yang Yi informs him that:
  • His Divine Kingdom can support up to 1,000 estates.
  • Each estate can generate roughly 500 Divinity Points in profit over 100 years.
  • Dragonfish fry are expensive because large-scale breeding is monopolized by the Gu Spiritual Domain.
  • Adult Dragonfish prices have remained stable for nearly ten thousand years.
• Although buying in bulk would normally require 500 estates for a discount, Yang Fan can afford only two, since he must also purchase Dragonfish fry and preserve some funds.
• An Hai offers Yang Fan financial investment, but Yang Fan refuses because the contract would restrict his freedom. He instead adds An Hai as a contact for future purchases.
• Tang Yue warns that Yang Fan’s supposed Tenfold Timeflow talent could drain his Divine Kingdom’s spiritual energy and harm the Dragonfish. Yang Fan does not correct her, keeping his true SSS-Rank Evolution Talent secret.
• After returning to his room, Yang Fan installs:
  • Three Immortal-Nurturing Towers
  • Four additional Spirit Peach Mountains
  • Two Dragon Marsh Water Estates
• The Spirit Peach Mountains crowd Penglai Island and absorb its immortal energy, while the Dragon Marsh estates gradually enrich the surrounding waters and create a developing aquatic ecosystem.
• Yang Fan orders 20,000 Dragonfish fry to be placed in the estates.
• Reviewing his Divine Kingdom’s status, he realizes that the 10,000 Divinity Points invested by the Luo Family have already been spent.
• He recognizes that further development—including Monkey Wine Springs, Primordial School, Spirit Veins, Immortal-Nurturing Towers, and other believer-supporting infrastructure—will require even more funds.

Character Developments

• Yang Fan demonstrates strong financial judgment and long-term ambition. He prioritizes investments with high returns but remains cautious about contracts that could compromise his independence.
• He becomes increasingly aware that his greatest advantage is not simply his assets, but his hidden Evolution Talent, which can turn investments into a self-reinforcing cycle of growth.
• Yang Fan also shows greater confidence after arriving in Primordial City, realizing that displaying exceptional potential may improve his treatment rather than merely attract jealousy.
• Tang Yue acts as a practical adviser, warning Yang Fan about the ecological risks of his investments.
• An Hai is established as a helpful commercial connection from the Gu Spiritual Domain, though Yang Fan declines his more serious offer of investment.
• Yang Yi continues serving as Yang Fan’s reliable analytical assistant, providing economic and logistical information.

Significant Themes

• Capital and growth: Advancement in the Divine Kingdom depends heavily on access to Divinity Points and the ability to invest them wisely.
• Freedom versus financial support: Yang Fan refuses outside investment because its conditions would limit his independence, choosing slower but self-controlled development instead.
• Compounding investment: Assets such as Dragon Marsh Water Estates and Spirit Peach Mountains can generate future returns, creating a cycle in which resources strengthen believers and produce even more resources.
• Hidden potential: Yang Fan conceals the true nature of his Evolution Talent, allowing others to underestimate him while he develops his Divine Kingdom.
• Rapid development and risk: Accelerating time and growth can damage ecosystems, showing that expansion brings dangers as well as rewards.
• Economic competition: Primordial City is portrayed as a place where powerful families, domains, and businesses compete through strategic investments and specialized industries.

Character Interactions

• Yang Fan consults Yang Yi about the capacity and profitability of the Dragon Marsh Water Estates.
• He negotiates with An Hai, who offers a bulk discount and later proposes investment. Yang Fan declines the investment but keeps the commercial relationship open.
• Tang Yue warns Yang Fan that his time-acceleration talent may make the Dragonfish investment dangerous, but he withholds the truth about his actual talent.
• Yang Fan commands Yang Yi to purchase and release the Dragonfish fry, marking the beginning of a new aquatic industry within his Divine Kingdom.

Chapter Summary: “Bet Agreement”

1. Key Plot Points and Events

• Yang Fan considers mortgaging all the assets in his Divine Kingdom to raise capital for its development.
• Yang Yi warns him that borrowing against all his assets is extremely dangerous because high interest and compounding debt could lead to default and the seizure of his Divine Kingdom.
• Confident that his investments can produce returns far beyond normal rates, Yang Fan orders Yang Yi to contact every major lending platform.
• One lender, Elephant Loans, receives Yang Fan’s application. Its chairman, Ma Yu, learns that the borrower is a Human Prodigy and immediately takes personal interest.
• Ma Yu requests a meeting with Yang Fan in the Virtual World, not because of the relatively small collateralized loan, but because he wants to invest in Yang Fan’s future.
• Ma Yu offers to pay Yang Fan’s Primordial Academy expenses, provide a large annual subsidy, and eventually give him company equity if he joins Elephant Loans after becoming a God.
• Yang Fan rejects these offers because he does not want to work for a company and believes he can become financially independent with enough time.
• As Yang Fan prepares to leave, Ma Yu proposes a special “bet agreement”: a one-million-Divinity-Point loan at 200% interest.
• Yang Fan must repay three million Divinity Points after one year. If he succeeds, the agreement is void; if he fails, the debt is forgiven, but he must join Elephant Loans after graduation.
• Yang Yi explains that the only realistic way to repay the loan is for Yang Fan to enter the top one million rankings of the Primordial Battlefield and claim its rewards.
• Despite the severe terms, Yang Fan accepts the agreement.

2. Character Developments

• Yang Fan demonstrates growing ambition, confidence, and willingness to take enormous risks to accelerate the development of his Divine Kingdom. He views financial leverage as a guaranteed opportunity because of his unusually high investment returns.
• He also shows increasing independence and self-assurance by refusing Ma Yu’s generous employment offers. Rather than exchanging his future freedom for financial support, he trusts his own potential.
• Yang Yi continues to act as Yang Fan’s cautious adviser and financial analyst, warning him about default risks and objectively evaluating the agreement.
• Ma Yu is introduced as a shrewd Fifth-Order God and businessman. Initially casual and dismissive of the loan, he becomes excited after learning Yang Fan is a Human Prodigy. He quickly shifts from lender to potential investor and negotiator.

3. Significant Themes

• Risk versus opportunity: Yang Fan sees debt as a powerful tool for growth, while Yang Yi emphasizes the dangers of interest and default.
• Betting on talent and potential: Ma Yu is willing to invest heavily in Yang Fan because of his status as a Human Prodigy, even though Yang Fan currently possesses limited wealth.
• Financial leverage and ambition: The chapter presents loans as both dangerous burdens and opportunities for rapid advancement, depending on the borrower’s ability to generate exceptional returns.
• Freedom versus security: Yang Fan rejects guaranteed financial support because it would bind him to a company, choosing uncertainty and independence instead.
• Challenges as motivation: The harsh loan terms transform Yang Fan’s financial problem into a concrete goal—reaching the top one million in the Primordial Battlefield within a year.

4. Character Interactions

• Yang Fan and Yang Yi discuss the risks and potential benefits of mortgaging the Divine Kingdom, establishing Yang Yi as the voice of caution.
• Ma Yu and his Artificial Lifeform reveal the company’s interest in Yang Fan after discovering his Human Prodigy assessment.
• During their Virtual World meeting, Ma Yu attempts to recruit Yang Fan through increasingly generous offers, but Yang Fan repeatedly refuses.
• Ma Yu then changes tactics, offering a high-stakes loan agreement that preserves Yang Fan’s short-term independence while tying his future career to Elephant Loans if he fails.
• Yang Fan’s final decision to sign shows that he is willing to accept extreme pressure rather than surrender control of his future outright.

Chapter Summary: “A Promising Future”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Ma Yu, president of Elephant Loans, offers Yang Fan a smart-contract loan of one million Divinity Points, secured through a retinal scan and repayable with twofold interest.
• Ma Yu presents the company as a safe, profitable workplace and hints that Yang Fan could become an official employee after a year. He is particularly enthusiastic because Yang Fan possesses S-rank talent and the prestigious identity of a Human Prodigy.
• After leaving the Virtual World, Ma Yu reveals his true motives to an Artificial Lifeform: he believes Yang Fan may eventually become at least a Fourth-Order God, allowing Elephant Loans to expand its market share by investing in him early.
• Ma Yu assumes Yang Fan will struggle to repay the loan and hopes to recruit him once he becomes dependent on the company’s support.
• Yang Fan, however, understands the loan is highly advantageous. With his hidden SSS-rank, tenfold-return ability, he is confident he can repay the debt easily without relying on the Primordial Battlefield.
• He immediately invests the loan:
  • Nearly 200,000 Divinity Points to purchase the remaining Dragon Marsh Water Estate.
  • 750,000 Divinity Points to buy five million Dragonfish Fry.
  • 8,000 Divinity Points to purchase four hundred Monkey Wine Springs.
• Yang Fan orders Yang Yi and Yang Er to prioritize Dragonfish cultivation and reinvest all profits into expanding production.
• He reserves the remaining funds, raises the daily fee for Primordial School to 100 Divinity Points, and continues his normal life at the Primordial Academy.
• After ten days, the first Dragonfish harvest produces a net profit of 250,000 Divinity Points. Yang Yi reinvests it, increasing the Dragonfish population to over 7.6 million.
• Yang Fan becomes confident that the Dragon Marsh Water Estate will soon reach maximum production capacity and that his financial future is secure.

Character Developments

• Yang Fan demonstrates strategic intelligence, confidence, and financial ambition. Rather than being controlled by Ma Yu’s recruitment scheme, he recognizes the loan as an opportunity to exploit high-return investments.
• He also shows strong authority over his Artificial Lifeforms, insisting that they follow his plans even when they cannot understand his deeper reasons.
• Ma Yu is revealed to be calculating and opportunistic. His apparent generosity is actually an investment in Yang Fan’s future, though he genuinely believes he is making a brilliant business decision.
• Ma Yu’s excitement shows how rare and valuable Human Prodigies are in the wider divine and corporate world.
• Yang Yi and Yang Er act as loyal administrative advisers. They raise reasonable concerns about the limitations of Elephant Loans and the risks of investing too heavily in Dragonfish, but ultimately obey Yang Fan’s commands.
• The Artificial Lifeform assisting Ma Yu displays unquestioning loyalty and flattering behavior, even receiving a promised reward for praising its employer.

Significant Themes

• Hidden potential and underestimated value: Yang Fan’s true abilities are concealed, causing others to underestimate how quickly he can generate wealth.
• Investment and long-term strategy: The chapter focuses heavily on turning capital into greater capital, with Dragonfish farming serving as Yang Fan’s main financial engine.
• Corporate opportunism: Ma Yu’s loan is not pure generosity but an attempt to secure a future prodigy before larger organizations discover him.
• Confidence versus conventional judgment: Yang Yi and Yang Er make logical recommendations based on available data, while Yang Fan relies on knowledge of his hidden talent and chooses a riskier but far more profitable strategy.
• Power, status, and social mobility: The title of Human Prodigy dramatically improves Yang Fan’s treatment, allowing him to negotiate with powerful figures despite his relatively undeveloped Divine Kingdom.
• Rapid growth through time manipulation: Yang Fan’s tenfold timeflow talent allows investments such as Dragonfish farming to mature in only days of real-world time, giving him a major economic advantage.

Character Interactions

• Ma Yu and Yang Fan: Ma Yu treats Yang Fan as a valuable future asset, offering him favorable financing and employment prospects. Yang Fan politely accepts but privately views the arrangement as a chance to profit from Ma Yu.
• Ma Yu and the Artificial Lifeform: Ma Yu explains his business strategy and confidence in Yang Fan’s future. The Artificial Lifeform flatters him, reinforcing his confidence.
• Yang Fan and Yang Yi/Yang Er: They discuss the relative advantages of Elephant Loans and larger corporations. Yang Fan dismisses their concerns and firmly directs them to execute his investment plan.
• Yang Fan and An Hai’s representative: A First-Order God delivers the purchased estate cards and confirms that An Hai provided a discount, showing Yang Fan’s growing access to useful business connections.
• Yang Fan and his broader community: During the ten-day interval, he spends time with family and old friends while quietly building his Divine Kingdom’s economic foundation.

Overall Significance

The chapter establishes Yang Fan’s financial rise. Ma Yu believes he has cleverly purchased a future genius, but Yang Fan is already turning the borrowed capital into enormous profits. His Dragonfish enterprise promises rapid expansion, setting the stage for him to repay the loan easily and surprise Ma Yu with the scale of his success.

  • Cloudstep Skyways to connect floating islands and improve transport

  • 600,000 Fourth-Order Lifeforms

• Yang Fan learns more about the Divine Kingdom Battlefield, where destroying an enemy’s core kills the God and all life within the domain. Portions of the defeated Divine Kingdom become spoils of war, while other fragments drift through the void and eventually form secret realms.
• Since Divine Kingdom Cores cannot be purchased, Yang Fan decides he will eventually visit his school’s Foreign-Race Divine Kingdom area to obtain one.
• Back in reality, Yang Fan completes his transformation and gains vastly increased spiritual power, bodily control, and awareness of his Divine Kingdom.

Character Developments

• Yang Fan reaches the Demigod realm and gains a much stronger connection to his Divine Kingdom.
• His ambitions expand dramatically. Rather than being satisfied with becoming a Demigod, he immediately sets his sights on becoming a true God.
• His confidence and enthusiasm grow after seeing the potential of his upgraded talent. He views his hundredfold acceleration as an overwhelming advantage over other Divine Lifeforms.
• Yang Yi and Yang Er take on increasingly important administrative roles, functioning almost like Yang Fan’s advisers or secretaries as the Divine Kingdom’s growing complexity creates more management responsibilities.
• Yang Fan becomes more willing to delegate decisions and authorize large-scale investments, showing his increased wealth and confidence.

Significant Themes

• Evolution and transcendence: Yang Fan’s physical breakthrough symbolizes his movement from mortality toward godhood.
• Acceleration and unfair advantage: His unique talent allows his Divine Kingdom to develop vastly faster than those of his rivals, reinforcing the importance of his “cheat-like” ability.
• Expansion through conquest: Advancement to true godhood requires absorbing enemy Divine Kingdom Cores, linking personal progress to warfare and the destruction of rival civilizations.
• Resource management and development: The Divine Kingdom is treated as both a living world and an economic project requiring population growth, cultivation systems, education, formations, and infrastructure.
• Ambition and power: Yang Fan’s success quickly fuels greater goals, shifting his focus from survival and breakthrough to domination of the Divine Kingdom Battlefield.
• The game-like nature of the world: Gods are compared to players, with Divine Kingdom Wars functioning as high-stakes games in which victory brings territory and resources while defeat means death.

Character Interactions

Chapter Summary: Major Update to Divine Kingdom Buildings

1. Key Plot Points and Events

• After reaching the Demigod realm, Yang Fan experiences a massive increase in Divine Kingdom development speed: one month in the real world equals 3,000 years inside the Divine Kingdom.
• His resource buildings generate approximately 22 million Divinity Points per month, and his income is expected to rise to several hundred million monthly once existing facilities reach full output.
• Yang Fan quietly tests his new strength. By combining the power of thousands of Qi Refining and Martial Disciple believers, he surpasses ordinary cultivators of the same realm. His major mastery of the Indestructible Golden Body Art allows him to destroy D-Grade weapons with his body.
• His Divine Kingdom has expanded to roughly 10 million square kilometers and nearly 3 billion inhabitants, including:
  • Over 10,000 Qi Refining cultivators
  • 4,323 Martial Disciples
  • 36 million Fifth-Order lifeforms
  • 800 million First-Order lifeforms
  • 1.2 billion mortals
  • 200,000 adult Elves
• The Elven Ancient Tree has matured ahead of schedule because of the improved environment created by Moonwells, Spirit Veins, and other resource buildings. Adult Elves are stronger than ordinary Fifth-Order lifeforms and can threaten Qi Refining cultivators when fighting in groups and using favorable terrain.
• Resource zones such as Penglai Island and the Dragon Marsh Water Estates continue expanding, but the rapidly growing population has caused food, Spirit Stone, pill, and cultivation-ground consumption to increase dramatically.
• Yang Yi assesses the Divine Kingdom’s infrastructure and recommends replacing outdated facilities:
  • The Flesh Sea Blood Pond and Hundred Spirits Blood Pool, whose benefits have become negligible
  • Six Fully Automatic Concentrators, which can no longer meet current energy demands
  • 610 low-grade Tai Sui, which cannot support stronger believers
  • Five Technique Transmission Towers, whose range and inheritance efficiency are insufficient
• Yang Fan approves all recommended upgrades, including:
  • A

Celestial Origin Spirit Granary

• A

Dragon Meat Cold Storage

• The Myriad Spirits Dietary Nexus, which produces optimized high-grade spirit meals
• The Myriad Laws Heaven-Evolving Divine Pagoda, an A-Grade facility capable of large-scale technique transmission, cultivation-data analysis, and synchronized improvement

2. Character Development

• Yang Fan has grown from a developing Divine Kingdom master into a powerful Demigod capable of supporting a huge civilization. He remains calm and understated, choosing not to publicly display his breakthrough.
• His wealth and confidence have increased considerably. Rather than conserving resources, he freely invests in superior food, cultivation, and inheritance systems because his Divine Kingdom’s income can easily sustain them.
• Yang Fan’s governing philosophy becomes clearer: he prioritizes long-term growth, efficient resource conversion, and raising the overall combat power of his believers.
• Yang Yi functions as an intelligent administrator and strategic adviser. He monitors the Divine Kingdom’s development, identifies obsolete infrastructure, and proposes upgrades tailored to the population’s changing needs.

3. Significant Themes

• Civilization and technological advancement: The Divine Kingdom evolves from basic survival facilities to highly specialized systems for food production, resource storage, cultivation, and knowledge transmission.
• Investment in collective strength: Yang Fan’s power does not come only from personal cultivation; it is increasingly tied to the combined development of billions of believers.
• Adaptation and optimization: As the Divine Kingdom advances, older buildings become inefficient and must be replaced with higher-grade facilities.
• Abundance and resource management: The chapter highlights the scale of maintaining a powerful civilization, where food, energy, cultivation materials, and infrastructure must grow alongside the population.
• Quiet power: Despite reaching Demigod and commanding enormous resources, Yang Fan continues to live discreetly rather than seeking recognition.
• From resources to combat power: The new systems are designed to convert raw materials into stronger, better-trained believers more efficiently.

4. Character Interactions

• Yang Fan privately tests his abilities and draws upon the strength of his believers, demonstrating the growing connection between Divine Lord and Divine Kingdom.
• Yang Yi reports the shortcomings of existing buildings and presents detailed replacement plans.
• Yang Fan listens without hesitation and repeatedly approves Yang Yi’s recommendations, showing trust in his administrator and confidence in his financial resources.
• Their interaction reflects a practical master-adviser relationship: Yang Yi handles analysis and optimization, while Yang Fan makes decisive strategic choices.

Chapter Summary: “Divine Kingdom Under Invasion!!!”

Key Plot Points and Events

• After another half month, Yang Fan’s life has become peaceful and luxurious. He enjoys spiritual food produced within his Divine Kingdom and observes the steady growth of his believers.
• While relaxing and preparing for a future journey to the Primordial Battlefield, Yang Fan suddenly receives urgent warnings from Yang Yi and Yang Er: his Divine Kingdom’s coordinates have been exposed and an external force is forcibly invading.
• Spatial rifts appear along the kingdom’s borders, allowing more than a hundred million Demon Monkeys and other foreign creatures to enter. Dozens of the Demon Monkeys are already at the Qi Refining Realm.
• Yang Yi explains that reaching the Demigod level has increased the Divine Kingdom’s connection to the outside world. The emergence of Qi Refining-level believers makes random discoveries and future invasions more likely.
• Although Yang Fan is initially shocked and fearful, the invasion is assessed as an extremely low-level threat compared with his current military strength.
• Following Yang Er’s recommendation, Yang Fan orders the immediate extermination of the invaders, treating the attack as a live combat exercise for his forces.
• Yang Fan mobilizes roughly 1,000 Qi Refining-level believers, more than 1,000 Martial Disciple-level believers, and approximately 400 million Tiered Lifeforms. A sophisticated logistics system provides weapons, pills, food, and supplies without slowing the army’s advance.
• The invading army first encounters the C-grade Thousand-Poison Swamp. Many Demon Monkeys die in the poisonous terrain, though Qi Refining-level individuals manage to break through it.
• Patrol Robots then attack the advancing forces with gunfire. They kill many ordinary Demon Monkeys but are destroyed by stronger Qi Refining-level enemies. Yang Fan considers the loss insignificant because the robots are outdated.
• The Demon Monkeys eventually reach the next defensive line: the B-grade Poison Bee Queen. Its enormous swarm of Bee Soldiers darkens the sky and dissolves ordinary and Entry-Rank Demon Monkeys on contact, demonstrating the overwhelming strength of Yang Fan’s defenses.

Character Developments

• Yang Fan: His relaxed confidence is abruptly disrupted by the invasion, revealing his fear of dying before realizing his potential. However, he quickly regains composure once he understands the threat is minimal and confidently commands the counterattack. He begins viewing the invasion as an opportunity to test his Divine Kingdom’s military capabilities.
• Yang Yi: Provides a calm, analytical explanation of the Divine Kingdom’s increased vulnerability after Yang Fan’s advancement to Demigod. He functions as a source of strategic information and reassurance.
• Yang Er: Acts as a military adviser, rapidly assessing the enemy and recommending immediate annihilation as combat training. His command structure helps activate the Divine Kingdom’s defenses.
• Yang Fan’s believers and forces: Their large-scale mobilization shows that they have developed from a peaceful population into an organized, highly capable military.

Significant Themes

• Growth brings vulnerability: Advancing to the Demigod realm expands Yang Fan’s power but also exposes his Divine Kingdom to outside detection and attack.
• Security and preparedness: The chapter emphasizes the importance of defenses, logistics, intelligence, and military organization in protecting a growing Divine Kingdom.
• Overwhelming power and technological superiority: Yang Fan’s forces combine elite cultivators, hundreds of millions of troops, automated weapons, defensive terrain, and specialized structures.
• The transformation of peace into war: Yang Fan’s luxurious, self-sufficient lifestyle is interrupted without warning, illustrating how quickly stability can collapse in a dangerous supernatural world.
• War as training: Because the invasion poses little danger, Yang Fan uses it to test and strengthen his forces rather than treating it solely as a crisis.

Character Interactions

• Yang Fan urgently questions Yang Yi about the invasion and its implications.
• Yang Yi explains the relationship between Demigod advancement, believer strength, and increased exposure to external threats.
• Yang Er supplements Yang Yi’s assessment and recommends exterminating the invaders.
• Yang Fan accepts the advice and authorizes the Divine Kingdom’s full military deployment.
• The chapter ends with Yang Fan observing the battlefield from above as his layered defenses, culminating in the Poison Bee Queen’s swarm, begin destroying the invading army.
