Global Deities: My SSS-Rank Talent Lets Me Evolve Everything

Chapter 157: Advanced Retarded Life!

After receiving the order.

Yang Yi and Yang San bowed at the same time, then turned and left the grand hall.

In the vast palace, only Yang Fan and Yang Da were left.

Yang Fan frowned and said, “Why arrange it like this? The Zombie System is remarkably effective when facing high-reproduction alien races like the Fission Beast, but believers are the foundation of the Divine Kingdom, right?”

His tone carried a trace of puzzlement. As a deity, he was very clear about the testing situation of the River of Hope.

Among them, purple Aptitude accounted for ten percent; blue Aptitude accounted for twenty percent; while green Aptitude accounted for a full seventy percent.

According to Yang Da’s plan, in the future, the vast majority of newborn believers would be sent into the Extra-dimensional Research Institute.

With such a scale of population “disappearing,” the “Glory Plan” previously formulated by Yang San could simply no longer be maintained.

This was simply uprooting the ‘chive roots’!

If not for the fact that Yang Da was an extension of his own will, Yang Fan would have already spoken out in opposition just now.

However, facing the questioning, Yang Da suddenly revealed a meaningful smile.

“Master, do you know that the zombie cultivation of the Extra-dimensional Research Institute actually does not require investing believers?”

At this moment, Yang Da’s tone even carried a hint of banter.

“What do you mean?” Yang Fan was stunned.

Yang Da spoke softly, “Any living being can turn into a zombie. The Evolution of zombies only requires flesh and blood energy, not necessarily believers; any corpse purchased from the Divine Shop will do.”

“Have you never thought of such a simple question, Master?”

As the words fell, Yang Fan was instantly stunned in place.

He had never thought about this point. He could even say that ever since purchasing the Advanced Intelligent Life, he had hardly truly “used his brain” for the development of the Divine Kingdom.

For all work related to the development of the Divine Kingdom, Yang Fan’s answer had always been two words — ‘Agree’.

“Damn it, since that’s the case, what is Yang San doing all those fancy operations for? And you, what was that order just now about?” Yang Fan was almost angered to laughter; he really couldn’t quite keep up with the thought processes of these Intelligent Life forms.

Yang Da’s expression remained calm as he said, “I have said before that these Intelligent Life forms purchased from the Divine Shop cannot break through established thinking frameworks.”

“Every decision they make is the ‘optimal solution’ under existing logic, but there are also limitations because of this.”

“As for why Yang San did this, the reason is very simple. Because this is the lowest-cost plan.”

“Lowest cost?” Yang Fan furrowed his brows tightly.

“That’s right.” Yang Da nodded, “In order to cultivate this one hundred million scale of ordinary zombies, the cumulative investment of Mortal believers has already exceeded ten billion.”

“If replaced by directly purchasing equivalent flesh and blood energy from the Divine Shop, it would require ten Divinity Points.”

As the voice fell, the air seemed to grow quiet for an instant.

Yang Fan was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn’t heard clearly, “… Do you want to say that again? Ten… Divinity Points?”

In his tone, there even carried a trace of absurdity.

The next moment, Yang Fan couldn’t help taking a deep breath, his chest heaving.

At this moment, he wished he could recall Yang San, slap it directly to death on the ground, and buy a new one from the Divine Shop.

When he originally chose to cultivate the Zombie System, the Divine Kingdom’s circulating funds reached as high as six hundred million Divinity Points. For just this bit of resources, they pulled off so many fancy operations.

This was so-called Advanced Intelligent Life?

It’s more like an Advanced Retarded Life!

As a deity, Yang Fan truly could not treat these believers as people equal to himself.

Even deep inside, just like Yang Yi and the others, he only regarded them as resources.

Yet seeing such a huge number of believers consumed, he would still instinctively feel uncomfortable.

For the sake of war, for more efficiently invading the Alien Divine Kingdom, these costs he could accept.

But now Yang Da told him that the root of all this was just to “save” ten Divinity Points.

It was absurd, even comical to the extreme.

Watching Yang Fan’s gloomy complexion, Yang Da slowly let out a breath, his tone becoming solemn, “Master, you possess the Evolution Talent and are destined to step into deityhood in the future, or even higher levels.”

“As the highest Intelligent Life of the Divine Kingdom, I have an obligation to remind you that your current way of thinking is wrong.”

“My thinking is wrong? Do you know what I am thinking right now?” Yang Fan took a deep breath and said.

Yang Da shook his head, “I cannot directly read the Master’s thoughts, but based on your expression and reactions, I can make an inference.”

“You think that Yang San’s behavior is foolish, using the stupidest method to do the most unworthy thing.”

“Isn’t it?” Yang Fan retorted.

Yang Da did not refute, but calmly said, “The reason why such a judgment is produced is because to you, ten Divinity Points are almost negligible.”

“Even, it is not as important as the guilt brought by the disappearance of those believers.”

“Please think carefully, Master, ten Divinity Points are equivalent to one billion Faith Points. Does the Master still remember that demigod who took you to the Luo Family back then, Zhan Yunxiao?”

“If it were him, how do you think he would choose?”

Yang Fan was slightly startled, and his thoughts began to calm down.

Yang Da’s voice continued to come over: “Whether it is the Human Race or alien races, similar systems exist.”

“Zombies, viruses, calamities… different races just call them by different names.”

“According to statistics, quite a few demigods construct such systems. Except for those born in top families whose resources are never lacking, the vast majority choose to sacrifice Mortal believers when cultivating this system.”

“The only difference is in the quantity, and the reason is very simple. This is the cheapest and most sustainable source of resources.”

“Believers will reproduce generation after generation; they themselves are the most basic ‘means of production’ of the Divine Kingdom.”

Speaking of this, Yang Da’s gaze fell on Yang Fan, and his tone was unprecedentedly solemn: “As a deity, the Master should not feel pity for believers.”

He paused for a split second, then slowly spoke:

“Deities control the life and death of believers. But the life and death of deities might not necessarily be outside the control of higher-dimensional existences.

If there truly is such an existence overlooking all living beings, then you and I are essentially no different from these believers. It is merely a difference in tiers and perspectives.

So-called good and evil are merely excuses woven by the weak for their own circumstances.

In front of absolute power, all morals can be redefined.

If a deity is still trapped by human nature, they will ultimately only become ‘food’ in the eyes of higher existences.

Only by discarding useless emotions, utilizing everything that can be utilized, and constantly moving upward can one reach a day where they are no longer defined by any existence. Instead, they become the party that defines the rules.”

Inside the grand hall, there was silence.

Yang Fan stood in place, remaining silent for a long time.

After a long while, he finally took a deep breath and completely calmed his emotions.

Yang Fan looked at Yang Da and continued to question: “With the Divine Kingdom’s current assets, if it were just to cultivate the Zombie System, there is completely no need to use this method. Then what on earth was that order you gave just now for?”

“To accelerate the Evolution of believers.” Yang Da said indifferently.

“What do you mean?” Yang Fan frowned.

Yang Da slowly spoke, “The essence of any biological system is survival of the fittest. Individuals with higher Aptitude, stronger Physique, and greater strength will obtain more resources, occupy superior living environments, and simultaneously possess a higher reproduction probability.”

“The weak will be continuously eliminated in the passage of time. Under this natural Evolution, the overall Aptitude of believers will slowly improve generation after generation.”

Speaking of this, Yang Da paused for a split second.

“But it is still too slow. With normal Evolution speeds, wanting to make the overall Aptitude of the Divine Kingdom’s believers leap to the limit of Mortals would still take hundreds of thousands of years, or even longer. But the Divine Kingdom currently has more efficient methods.”

“The River of Hope can directly screen Aptitude. Since that is the case, there is no need to let low-Aptitude individuals occupy living space anymore.”

“My plan is to throw all ordinary believers with green Aptitude into the Extra-dimensional Research Institute. While utilizing resources, this frees up a massive amount of living space for believers with higher Aptitude to reproduce and expand.”

“According to deductions, in at most five thousand years for the Divine Kingdom, the proportion of purple Aptitude among the new generation of believers will exceed seventy percent.”

“By then, the screening value of the River of Hope will drop drastically. The basic population quality of the entire Divine Kingdom will undergo a fundamental change.”

Hearing this, Yang Fan remained silent, finding it hard to connect Yang Da with that image of “selecting concubines” every year.

Yang Da continued, “Afterwards, the cultivation of the Zombie System will not need to be so troublesome; we can directly purchase corpses and live Yao Beasts from the Divine Shop to use as conversion materials.”

“We possess the Evolution Talent and completely have no need to continue following Yang San’s inefficient method. Moreover, as the Divine Kingdom continuously grows stronger, the Divine Kingdom Wars we participate in the future will only become more and more numerous. The existing zombie scale is far from enough.”

“If the resource pressure is too heavy at that time, we can also purchase cloning technology, combining fully automatic culture dishes with intelligent nutrient chambers to mass-produce life units.”

“By then, the resources required for the Zombie System can be completely self-sufficient by the Divine Kingdom, and costs can be compressed even further.”
