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

Chapter 168: Monthly Divine Kingdom Investment Revenue Exceeds 1 Billion

“Accept it,” Yang Fan said calmly. “Right, I remember you guys signed a Subordinate God Contract before with someone called…”

“Lin Lang,” Yang Tiexin chimed in.

“Rest assured,” Yang Tiexin quickly added. “Lin Lang is now working at Xuanming Company as a minor executive. As for the contract, he has already taken the initiative to lift it.”

“Now that our Divine Kingdom is looked after by Elder Luo, you don’t need to worry.”

At this, a trace of complexity and nostalgia inevitably flashed through his eyes.

Once upon a time, he was Lin Lang’s Subordinate God, and nearly half of his Divine Kingdom’s output had to be surrendered.

Yet today, that once aloof and lofty Lord God had become his subordinate. Every time they met, he would bow and scrape, and even returned everything he had gained in the past with interest.

This stark contrast still made Yang Tiexin feel somewhat unreal to this day.

He knew very well in his heart that all of this stemmed from his own son. He just could never figure out why Yang Fan’s influence was actually so immense.

Since his son wouldn’t say, he wouldn’t ask either.

Doing one’s own part reliably and not causing trouble for the child was the only thing parents like him, who lacked ability, could do.

After chatting about domestic matters for a while longer, the elderly couple made an excuse about having matters to attend to and exited the Virtual World.

“Husband.”

After his parents left, Luo Bing and Luo Rou visibly relaxed, each taking one of Yang Fan’s arms.

“How have you been lately?” Yang Fan asked casually.

During this period, he had devoted almost all his energy to studying and hadn’t communicated with the two of them for a long time.

“Resources are not lacking, and I’m a top student in the first year at Tianshui University now,” Luo Bing said with a hint of pride.

“After the Divine Kingdom recovered, I also returned to school, and my grades are quite good now,” Luo Rou said softly.

“That’s good,” Yang Fan nodded. “Keep up the hard work and Breakthrough to become a demigod as soon as possible. I still have matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first.”

As his words fell, his consciousness had already detached, leaving only the two women on the sofa looking at each other in dismay.

“What’s wrong with Husband? Didn’t he used to come find us every day?” Luo Rou asked in confusion.

“Could it be… that he found someone new in Taichu City?” Luo Bing pouted lightly. “I heard that place is full of proud daughters of heaven.”

Hearing this, Luo Rou chuckled, her tone carrying a hint of profound meaning: “Cousin, you still need to press on.”

“With Husband’s potential, he will definitely establish his own Family or company in the future, but why is there still no movement from your belly?”

“Cousin has good fortune; with Cheng Rou, you will always have a place in the future!” Luo Bing said enviously.

Luo Rou stopped joking, her expression turning a bit more serious: “I am very clear on the Family Head’s intentions. The Luo Family is too small to trap a true dragon like Husband. Sending you to his side is for the Luo Family, for you, and I will also benefit from it.”

She paused, her gaze slightly condensing:

“No matter how many proud daughters of heaven stand by Husband’s side in the future, at least, our surname is Luo.”

Luo Bing was silent for a moment and nodded gently: “I understand Father’s painstaking efforts, and I will work hard.”

In the year since leaving the Luo Family and entering Tianshui University, her sharp edges had long been worn smooth.

The B-grade talent she once took pride in was everywhere there.

Now, the reason she could rank among the top was largely due to the Luo Family’s investment in Yang Fan, half of whose Resources went to her Divine Kingdom.

On the other side.

Returning to Taichu City, Yang Fan’s Physical Body lay on the bed, while his consciousness had long sunk into the library to continue cramming basic knowledge.

Humans have seven emotions and six desires, and instinctive desires constantly stimulate the nerves, bringing short-lived and cheap pleasure.

Yet that kind of thrill comes fast and goes fast as well.

With the development of the Divine Kingdom’s Mechanical Civilization and the continuous enhancement of his Mental Energy, Yang Fan gradually stood at a higher cognitive level.

He began to clearly feel that true, lasting, and deep satisfaction never originated from carnal desires and indulgence. Rather, it came from the elevation of cognition, the growth of power, and the process of dissecting the essence of the world little by little.

The deeper the understanding and the greater the control, the less one needs to rely on low-level desires to fill the emptiness.

Just as Yang Da said, his past self was not a qualified deity.

Time flowed, and soon it was the day of the Heavenly Pride Apotheosis Battle.

Yang Fan had already received Sima Bang’s message, and the four of them agreed to head to the examination venue together.

Before leaving, Yang Fan closed his eyes and his consciousness entered the Divine Kingdom.

The next moment, the complete information of the Divine Kingdom appeared in his mind.

“Divine Lord: Yang Fan”

“Divine Kingdom Area: 19.5 million square kilometers”

“Talent: Omitted”

“Believers: Foundation Establishment Realm (57,233), Martial Master Realm (1,289), Qi Refining Realm (130 million), Martial Disciple Realm (51.33 million), First-Class Intelligent Life (15,000), Tier 5 Being (3.5 billion)… Mortal (15.4 billion)”

“Occupations: Alchemist (1.55 million), Blacksmith (2.85 million), Rune Master (200,000), Formation Master (400,000)”

“Dependents: Adult Elf (12.44 million)”

“Dharmic Methods: Spirit Tortoise Life-Protecting Formation (C-grade, Major Achievement), Ten Kings of Hell Formation (C-grade, Major Achievement)…”

“Divinity Points: 8.11 million (Reality provides 8.86 Divinity Points daily)”

“Buildings: Moon Well x 100 million, Sun Spring x 100 million, Fountain of Life x 3,200, Spiritual Vein x 70,000 (A-grade), Monkey Wine Spring x 840,000 (B-grade), B-grade defensive building Tree Demon King x 100, C-grade City of Technology x 5…”

Nowadays, the overall strength of the believers within the Divine Kingdom was no longer growing explosively, but gradually tending toward stability.

Within the Martial Arts system, a Martial Master powerhouse comparable to the Foundation Establishment Realm was finally born.

Although the number was small, it was undoubtedly a good start.

After all, his Divine Kingdom believers with Martial Arts talent were few to begin with, and coupled with insufficient investment in the path of Martial Arts, that was why it lagged so far behind the Cultivation Route.

Under Yang Da’s continuous investment and regulation, the Divine Kingdom’s revenue climbed once again.

The three main revenue streams—Spirit Stone, Dragon Fish, and Monkey Wine Spring—stabilized at approximately 700 million, 250 million, and 80 million Divinity Points per month, respectively.

Combined, the total monthly revenue of Yang Fan’s Divine Kingdom had now broken through the 1-billion-Divinity Points mark.

Placed in the outside world, this was already jaw-dropping wealth, but to Yang Fan, it was still not enough.

Spirit Peach Mountain and Monkey Wine Spring were completely deployed on Penglai Island, the water areas were thoroughly covered by Dragon Marsh Water Mansion, and underground Spiritual Veins crisscrossed, pushing the Divine Kingdom’s Cultivate environment to its limit.

Yet in the vast surface areas, apart from the believers’ cities, there were still large tracts of open land that remained unused.

Yang Fan had been pondering recently whether to open up spiritual fields and develop a high-tier Spirit Plant industry.

It was just that after researching for a long time, he still hadn’t been able to find a suitable variety.

Although high-tier Spirit Plants had considerable yields, most of them were delicate and basically required Qi Refining Realm believers with the “Spirit Plant Farmer” occupation to Cultivate them long-term.

Currently, the primary occupations studied by his believers in the Primordial Academy were still only the four major directions of Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Rune Master, and Formation, almost all revolving around the “Warfare System”.

As for the Spirit Plant Farmer, it leaned toward the logistics faction.

Yang Fan did not wish for Qi Refining Realm believers to waste a large amount of time on this.
