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

Chapter 497: An Attempt at the Ghost Cultivation Route

“Rest assured, Master!” Yang Da immediately patted his chest, looking completely confident.

“For the believers, the Divine Kingdom War is inherently an absolutely righteous cause, and the protest incident that happened back in the Zombie Kingdom will never occur again!”

“Furthermore, the Divine Kingdom’s Resources are abundant nowadays, and the pension work has always been personally overseen by Yang Yi.”

“Subsequent publicity arrangements such as the Glory Emblems, Merit Badges, and Martyr Families have long been fully implemented.”

“Educational concepts such as “Everything for the Gods” and “Core Values of Believers” have been simultaneously promoted to all major Divine Kingdom schools.”

Yang Da spoke with absolute confidence.

In the present Divine Kingdom, there was simply no need to worry about believers lying flat.

For the deity, the loyalty of the believers itself did not need to be worried about.

Coupled with the fact that Yang Fan’s Divine Kingdom’s Resources were rich to the extreme, as long as the believers were willing to work hard to Cultivate, they could basically obtain abundant material conditions and Cultivation Resources.

Under such circumstances, combined with a complete education system, the faith would naturally become increasingly solid, and ideological education would naturally be effortless.

As for those believers who died in battle for the Divine Kingdom War…

Dealing with them turned out to be even simpler in terms of cost.

A stone, engraved with a name, and then selecting a special commemorative day.

Then tell everyone that they sacrificed themselves for the gods, for the Divine Kingdom, and for everyone.

In this way, everything had meaning.

War gained glory, and death possessed value.

Even those who were alive would proactively pass down this glory.

“Very well, this matter is entirely handed over to you to handle.”

Yang Fan nodded, and then continued:

“In addition, remember to notify Li Tianheng’s intelligent lifeform and let him continue to recruit more Subordinate Gods.”

“Nowadays, the coordinates of Foreign Deitys are still too few.”

“Since we already possess sufficient strength, there is naturally no need to stop the expansion of the Divine Kingdom.”

“Yes, the Master is wise!” Yang Da immediately responded respectfully.

Just at this moment, Yang Fan’s gaze suddenly cast towards an area on the outer periphery of the Divine Kingdom.

That place was shrouded by a dense layer of black fog, appearing exceptionally mysterious.

As a deity, Yang Fan saw through the situation within the black fog with just a single glance, and hundreds of thousands of believers were actually living inside.

However, these believers were completely different from the living beings in other parts of the Divine Kingdom.

They had no physical bodies, only faint, lingering black figures drifting within the black fog.

Seeing this scene, Yang Fan instantly understood.

This was the so-called ghost cultivation.

These believers had long since abandoned their Physical Bodies, existing in the form of soul bodies, and what they Cultivated was also the path of the soul.

As for their feedback to Yang Fan’s true body in the Real World, it was mainly reflected in the aspect of Mental Strength.

However, the number of these ghost cultivation believers was far too few, and their overall strength was also pitifully weak.

Compared to the Divine Kingdom’s current massive Mechanical Civilization, they were completely not on the same order of magnitude.

Even until now, Yang Fan had not noticed that such a batch of special believers had appeared within his Divine Kingdom.

When all was said and done, it was still because his current strength was far too formidable.

The slight increase in Mental Strength brought by hundreds of thousands of weak ghost cultivators was truly negligible to the present Yang Fan.

Feeling Yang Fan’s gaze, Yang Da immediately stepped forward to explain:

“Reporting to Master.”

“After all, the Divine Kingdom now possesses the Soul Seed Talent. After death, the souls of some believers above the Qi Refining Stage and Martial Apprentice Realm will not dissipate immediately, and there is a certain probability of transforming into ghost cultivators.”

“Although in the database of the Human Federation, no deity has ever truly walked this path to success.”

“But considering that the Divine Kingdom’s Resources are extremely abundant nowadays, I bought them related Cultivation Methods and specially designated an area to plant some special Spirit Plants capable of nourishing the soul.”

“Perhaps in future Divine Kingdom Wars, this batch of ghost cultivators can play some special roles.”

“How is the strength of these ghost cultivators?” Yang Fan asked with some curiosity.

Hearing this, Yang Da’s expression suddenly became somewhat awkward.

“Very weak. Since they are currently in a soul-body state without a Physical Body as a support, they will die when subjected to various energy attacks.”

“A ghost cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm might not even be a match for ordinary Tiered Being under normal circumstances.”

“So weak?” Yang Fan’s face couldn’t help but twitch.

At this moment, he finally understood somewhat why none of the Human race’s deities had truly walked this path to success.

To put it bluntly…

Without seeing any output, who would be willing to invest?

Investing a large amount of Resources, the thing cultivated in the end is still not as good as an ordinary ranked being.

Normal deities would probably have abandoned this route long ago.

“Currently, I have already let Yang Yi conduct related research through various channels.”

Yang Da continued:

“If there is any breakthrough progress, I will definitely report it to the Master at the first instance.”

If it were not for the fact that the Divine Kingdom’s Resources were now so abundant as to be nearly inexhaustible, Yang Da, the highest intelligent lifeform of the Divine Kingdom, would have long since abandoned this batch of ghost cultivation believers without hesitation.

After all, one of the reasons for his existence was to maximize the interests of the Divine Kingdom.

However, since the Divine Kingdom’s Resources were too endless to use up anyway, taking out a small amount of Resources to research ghost cultivation couldn’t be considered any loss at all.

In the remote case that some special ability was truly researched out, that would be a massive profit.

Even if nothing was researched in the end…

This bit of investment was merely a drop in the bucket for the current Divine Kingdom.

“Fine, do as you see fit.” Yang Fan waved his hand indifferently.

His thoughts were similar to Yang Da’s.

If it fails, give up anyway; if it truly succeeds, continue investing.

This was just like investing in a startup company.

A normal person investing would naturally have to consider risks.

But if one’s own capital was sufficiently robust, one could completely cast a wide net.

Losing a few projects didn’t matter at all.

As long as one of them truly grew up, it would be enough to earn back all previous losses completely.

For the present Yang Fan, it was the exact same reasoning.

In fact, he wished that Yang Da could continue to pull off some fancy tricks and invest more Divinity Points into the Divine Kingdom.

After all… the Divine Kingdom’s current income was simply terrifying.

…

Having instructed everything, Yang Fan’s consciousness slowly withdrew from the Divine Kingdom.

The days that followed returned to peace once again.

Life at the frontline did not have too many ripples.

The war against the Black Armored Beetle Race’s Divine Kingdom was still steadily advancing, and Yang Fan himself no longer paid excessive attention to the battlefield details.

For him now, he would not worry about the big and small matters of the Divine Kingdom; he only cared about the macro-direction development of the Divine Kingdom.

Under the effect of the Hundredfold Evolution Talent, the believers were also continuously growing according to the established trajectory.

Time slowly passed.

One month’s time quickly passed.

As for the Divine Kingdom, a full three thousand years had passed once again.

The proportion of high-order believers among various factions in the Divine Kingdom was getting higher and higher.

Especially the path of Martial Arts, after thousands of years of development, the Myriad Phenomena Martial Court had already begun to show a trend of surpassing the Immortal Alliance.

A large number of newborn believers displayed extremely high Martial Arts talent at the time of birth.

Among them, there was no lack of those who awakened the Myriad Martial Saint Body.
