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

Chapter 214: Lighting a Sky Lantern in the Dark

The final stage before the soul nourishing wood matured.

The entire divine kingdom had completely changed its appearance.

If one looked from the Void Realm,

Yang Fan’s divine kingdom seemed to have transformed into a giant sphere of light emitting a faint golden glow.

An extremely dense Soul aura constantly diffused outward, like a bonfire in the dark night.

Frantically attracting the demigod believers wandering and exploring in the Great Void.

In just a few days,

several waves of unfamiliar forces had already appeared around the periphery of the divine kingdom.

However, these demigods were clearly much more cautious, not directly sending their believers into Yang Fan’s divine kingdom.

Instead, they chose all sorts of bizarre detection methods.

Some released silver floating detection spheres, some released flesh-and-blood eyeballs, and some even used paper dolls. Floating in the turbulent space like ghosts, those things possessed almost no aura of life.

In addition to these, there were a large number of other strange detection methods.

There were mental ripples, special spiritual insects, and even transparent spore-like creatures.

As long as they approached the divine kingdom, they would automatically record the surrounding environment.

This also gave Yang Fan a true taste of the bizarre and varied detection methods of foreign races.

However, these demigods were clearly extremely cautious, not rashly letting their believers enter Yang Fan’s divine kingdom.

Because once believers stepped into an enemy’s divine kingdom, it meant the Divine Kingdom War had officially begun.

If the believers were completely wiped out, one’s own divine kingdom coordinates would also be exposed.

Therefore, before officially going to war, intelligence warfare and information probing were almost inevitable stages of any Divine Kingdom War.

After all, no one wanted to inexplicably provoke an existence they absolutely could not afford to offend.

Just like the basic information attached to the divine kingdom coordinates Yang Fan had previously purchased in the Divine Shop.

In essence, it was all gathered bit by bit through similar means.

Of course, the price of divine kingdom coordinates in the Divine Shop was extremely expensive.

Not all demigods could be as wealthy and overbearing as Yang Fan.

Most demigods still preferred to let their believers explore outward.

And Yang Da dealt with these detection methods without any politeness.

The moment those detectors approached the periphery of the divine kingdom, in the next second, they would be vaporized on the spot by a shot from the City-Annihilating Cannon, leaving absolutely no opportunity for investigation.

…

At this moment, in the Real World.

Yang Fan was sitting in the courtyard of the villa provided by the Primordial Academy.

A gentle breeze blew, and the spiritual bamboo in the courtyard swayed.

Not far away, Gu Le was kneeling by the stone table, carefully brewing tea for Yang Fan.

White mist slowly rose, and the aroma of tea overflowed.

Meanwhile, Yang Fan was half-reclining on a rocking chair, flipping through a newly purchased book in his hand—’Subordinate God System Construction and Loyalty Control’.

The title of the book was simple and straightforward, but the content inside was quite useful to Yang Fan.

Gently turning a page, Yang Fan’s eyes flickered slightly.

Then he sighed softly,

“The storm is coming.”

Gu Le was slightly stunned upon hearing this.

“Husband, what storm is coming?”

“It’s nothing.”

Yang Fan smiled.

“Just some annoying flies.”

Now, there were only two or three days left before the soul nourishing wood matured, which was also the time when its aura was densest.

Only now did Yang Fan finally truly understand why neither demigods nor gods were willing to plant soul nourishing wood on a large scale.

The risk of exposing the divine kingdom’s coordinates was simply too high.

…

Time slowly passed.

Finally, it was the eve of the soul nourishing wood’s maturation.

Yang Fan, who was resting in reality, suddenly heard Yang Da’s call.

In the next instant, his consciousness immediately entered his divine kingdom.

“Master.”

Yang Da’s expression turned solemn.

“Once my detection equipment leaves the range of the divine kingdom, it immediately loses connection.”

“No information is being transmitted back.”

“At this point, I’m afraid many enemies have already gathered around the periphery of the divine kingdom.”

Hearing this, Yang Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“So…”

“they are waiting for the soul nourishing wood to mature?”

“Exactly.”

Yang Da nodded.

“And there are quite a few of them coming.”

“I’m afraid many people want to take this opportunity to reap some benefits.”

“Heh.”

Yang Fan suddenly sneered.

“Since that’s the case,”

“then let’s wait and see.”

“It just so happens that some people are delivering divine kingdom coordinates for free, saving us from having to continue buying them in the Divine Shop.”

Speaking of this, Yang Fan’s gaze was ice-cold.

Staring intently in the direction of the divine kingdom’s periphery, he even subconsciously licked his lips, like a beast eyeing its prey.

“Send orders to Ling Xuzi.”

“Have her send Qi Refining Stage believers out to investigate.”

“Let’s see exactly how many blind demigods there are.”

“Yes!”

Yang Da immediately nodded.

Soon, the order was dispatched.

In just a moment, Ling Xuzi’s consciousness phantom appeared in front of Yang Fan.

Compared to before, her current state was clearly much better.

She looked refreshed, and a bit of color had returned to her face.

“Master.”

“I have already dispatched ten Qi Refining Stage believers to investigate.”

“There will be results soon.”

However, halfway through her sentence,

Ling Xuzi seemed to suddenly see something through her believers’ field of vision, and her entire body instantly froze on the spot.

Her face turned visibly pale.

“Ma… Master…”

“This is bad!”

Ling Xuzi’s voice trembled slightly.

“Outside… there are twenty demigods outside!”

“Among them are the Human Race, Beast Race, Undead Race, Bug Race…”

Clearly, she was completely terrified by the scene she saw.

Yang Fan, however, merely waved his hand calmly. “How is their strength?”

“My believers didn’t dare to get too close.”

Ling Xuzi wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

“In each wave of forces, there are several thousand Foundation Establishment Realm believers.”

“And those are just the vanguard.”

When had Ling Xuzi ever seen a war scale of this magnitude?

At this moment, she only felt her scalp go numb.

She didn’t even understand why her newly acknowledged master was suddenly targeted by so many demigods.

Moreover, they were existences from different races.

Human Race, Beast Race, Undead Race, Bug Race…

These forces, which usually slaughtered each other, now seemed to have formed a strange, unspoken agreement, all waiting for an opportunity.

Ling Xuzi slowly turned her head, sensing the increasingly dense Soul aura within Yang Fan’s divine kingdom.

Her voice trembled slightly.

“Ma… Master.”

“Just how much soul nourishing wood did you plant?”

Hearing this, Yang Fan only smiled faintly.

“Not much.”

“Only five trillion trees.”

“And they are almost ten thousand years old.”

The moment these words were spoken, Ling Xuzi instantly froze in place.

Her mind was left completely blank.

“Crazy!”

“No wonder it attracted the covetous eyes of so many demigods!”

“This was simply—lighting a sky lantern in the dark night, terrified that others wouldn’t know how rich he was!”

“Master.”

Ling Xuzi hurriedly spoke.

“These people are not of one mind.”

“Perhaps… we can distribute a portion of the soul nourishing wood.”

“As long as they see profit, they might not fight to the death.”

As a Subordinate God, she shouldn’t have spoken out of turn.

But the problem was, she had only just found such a good master in Yang Fan.

“She really didn’t want to change allegiance so quickly!”

However, Yang Fan only spoke calmly, “Just watch in peace.”
