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

Chapter 12: Risks of Divine Kingdom Development

“Suddenly investing so many resources, combined with a tenfold evolution efficiency, has caused some imbalance in the food chain. If the tribe continues to develop like this, even a million herbivores won’t be enough for them to eat. The frequency of the alarm clock needs to be higher, and I must be ready to invest resources at any time,” Yang Fan thought to himself.

Afterward, Yang Fan bought a large quantity of grass seeds in the mall, such as Horse-Holding Flower, Earthy-Smelling Grass, Green Vine, and others.

These green plants covered the entire Divine Kingdom in just one year.

In the seventh decade, the elders within the tribe discovered that the population was simply too large.

Everyone living together caused massive destruction to the surrounding resources, and waste could not be processed quickly.

The surroundings were stinking and it was very easy to fall ill.

The tribe held a grand meeting, preparing to establish more tribes to disperse the population.

The final decision was to open four branch tribes, located about five hundred kilometers away from the main tribe.

As for who would be sent out, it was determined entirely by strength; only the strong were fit to live in the main tribe.

The tribal chief issued an order: if a child with high talent appeared among the descendants of the branch tribes, the family of three could move back to the main tribe.

Yang Fan did not actively interfere with the development within the Divine Kingdom.

After they reached their conclusion, he once again purchased low-level knowledge such as road building and bridge construction from the mall and invested it into the Divine Kingdom to help his believers avoid detours.

In the eighth decade, the believer population had reached a high of one hundred thousand, and the new tribes were fully formed.

They were named Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermilion Bird, while the main tribe was renamed ‘God’s Revelation’, signifying the place where the God delivered divine oracles.

On this day, Yang Fan once again felt the pressure coming from within the Divine Kingdom.

With the population explosion and everyone practicing the Federal Body Refinement Technique, the consumption of food was simply too great.

Relying solely on those herbivores was fundamentally insufficient to sustain them.

Yang Fan could feel that the growth speed of the vegetation had reached its limit.

Furthermore, the Divine Kingdom also had four seasons.

Once winter arrived, dried meat alone would not be enough to sustain them.

If he didn’t intervene, many believers would starve to death.

During this period, Yang Fan had also invested several food resource cards, which barely managed to maintain the balance.

While Yang Fan was browsing the mall to research solutions, he received a call from his best friend, Zhang Pang.

“Brother Yang, I’m waiting for you downstairs. Come to my house for dinner,” a voice came from the other end of the phone.

Yang Fan rubbed his temples, feeling a bit groggy.

Although he felt his body had become much stronger due to the rapid development of the Divine Kingdom during this time, his mental fatigue had not been eliminated.

In these eight or nine days, he hadn’t had a single day of peaceful sleep.

“A Great Leap Forward style of development is still undesirable,” Yang Fan sighed, stood up, and went downstairs.

The Divine Kingdom was developing too quickly.

Over the past few days, Yang Fan had successively invested over a hundred thousand faith points.

Now, the Divine Kingdom looked thriving, but it was actually quite dangerous.

If he wasn’t careful and the ecology was destroyed, the Divine Kingdom would turn into a desert.

“Brother Yang, how is your Divine Kingdom doing? With 5 million in resources smashed into it, I bet it’s completely transformed,” Zhang Pang said, coming up to put his arm around Yang Fan’s neck.

“It’s transformed a bit too aggressively.”

“Give you an inch and you take a mile. Just wait for this month’s class exam; I’ll definitely blind your titanium alloy dog eyes,” Zhang Pang said, tilting his head proudly with a mysterious tone.

Yang Fan just smiled at this.

Barring any accidents, the one whose eyes would likely be blinded was the other party.

“Hearing that you were coming to dinner, my dad specifically cooked spirit rice and Blood Python meat. Seeing how you look like you haven’t woken up, this should nourish you,” Zhang Pang’s father was named Zhang Wanshan, a well-known figure throughout the streets of Mingyue Community.

The quality of the crops Zhang Wanshan grew was quite good.

Combined with being cheaper than food in the mall and having no delivery fees, nearly thirty percent of the community were his customers.

Yang Fan’s parents often bought grain from Zhang Wanshan for their believers, and in return, he would buy some of their family’s iron ore—it was a way of looking out for each other’s business.

“Xiao Fan is here! I heard you got a C-rank evaluation. You’re the genius of our Mingyue Community. Why haven’t you been out for a stroll lately? I haven’t even had a chance to congratulate you,” Zhang Wanshan, who had a square face, gave Yang Fan a standard smile.

“Greetings, Uncle Zhang.”

“Don’t be so formal. You two go wash your hands first; the Blood Python meat in the pot is almost ready,” Zhang Wanshan said before hurrying back to the kitchen.

Zhang Pang was from a single-parent family.

It was said that when he was very young, while the family of three was eating, his mother’s Divine Kingdom was suddenly breached by an unknown person and vanished into thin air right before his eyes.

In this era, transportation was convenient, housing was cheap, food and clothing were not a worry, and information exchange was smooth.

It seemed thriving on the surface, but there were also infinite risks hidden in the shadows.

If your Divine Kingdom wasn’t strong enough, you might vanish into thin air while eating, using the toilet, or taking a walk.

Zhang Wanshan had prepared a large table of dishes, mostly F-rank demon beast meat, with the main dish, Blood Python, being a D-rank demon beast.

From this, one could see that their family’s conditions were quite good.

After all, Yang Fan usually ate unranked beef, which naturally couldn’t compare to this in terms of nutrition.

“Xiao Fan, although the physical changes in us Divine Beings mainly come from the development of our Divine Kingdoms, eating more food with high nutritional value also has its benefits. Eat more of this Blood Python meat,” Zhang Wanshan placed a large piece of meat in Yang Fan’s bowl.

“Thank you, Uncle Zhang.”

Zhang Wanshan nodded and continued, “You’ve been quiet since you were a child, but don’t work behind closed doors when developing your Divine Kingdom. Communicating more with your classmates will be beneficial.”

Yang Fan nodded gratefully.

“Uncle Zhang, if the believers need too much food after practicing the Federal Body Refinement Technique, what’s a good solution? One that’s once and for all, where I don’t have to keep putting in resources later on.”

“What’s so hard about that? Just buy some livestock to put in the Divine Kingdom and scatter some grass seeds, isn’t that enough?”

“What if that’s still not enough?”

“You’ve only awakened your Divine Kingdom for less than a month, why are you asking this? How many believers could you possibly have?” Zhang Wanshan looked puzzled.

“It’s a question I saw on the God Forum. I’m just curious, since I might encounter it in the future,” Yang Fan found an excuse.

“This kind of low-level resource problem is only encountered by Divine Beings. If the population develops too quickly and the area of the Divine Kingdom is insufficient, the ecosystem indeed cannot be maintained by relying solely on herbivores as a food source. At that time, you can issue a divine oracle to clear some wasteland near the towns, then buy seeds for corn, rice, and the like. Basically, plant whatever has the highest yield. If there’s not enough meat, give the believers some carbohydrate staples. They don’t have much nutritional value, but they’ll fill their bellies.”

“Wouldn’t planting, nurturing, and harvesting take too much time?” Yang Fan frowned slightly.

Yang Fan had considered these things, but most of his believers didn’t have a talent for farming.

Relying on skill cards could only give them a basic understanding of planting, but the whole process was still too much of a waste of time.

Yang Fan hoped his believers could spend all their time on cultivation.
