91: Chapter 91: Battle Results Review, 8,000 Square Kilometers

Third Ancestor Wang Xuanyue straightened his back, his heart also burning with intense anticipation.

The Family had waited too long for someone like this.

Inside the mansion in Galaxy City, Wang Cang quickly received a reply from the ancestral lands.

After reading the content, even though he had been prepared, he was still deeply shaken by the scale of the Family's increased investment.

He did not delay and immediately went outside the secret chamber, transmitting a message to Wang Pingan via the exclusive Formation patterns.

"Dao Child, a reply from the ancestral lands."

Inside the secret chamber, Wang Pingan opened his eyes: "Speak."

Wang Cang's voice trembled.

"The Family has decided that starting this month, they will provide an additional monthly subsidy of one hundred Divine Power to the Dao Child, issued alongside the Grade A Sequence subsidy from Xinghe University."

Wang Pingan's gaze flickered.

One hundred from the school, one hundred from the Family.

This meant that even if he did nothing every month, he would still have two hundred Divine Power coming in.

Wang Cang continued to report: "Additionally, the ancestral lands will dispatch Elder Wang Zhenyuan, a Tier 3 Deity, to Galaxy City. He will arrive within three days to serve exclusively as the Dao Child's Guardian."

"Elder Wang Zhenyuan served on the alien border for three thousand years and excels in tracking, counter-ambush, and spatial lockdown."

Wang Pingan did not feign refusal.

If the Family dared to invest, he dared to accept.

He knew clearly that what he lacked most right now was not polite pleasantries, but the speed of turning resources into combat power.

Wang Pingan replied in a deep voice: "Reply to the ancestral lands for me; I have noted the Family's investment."

Wang Cang stood straight outside the secret chamber.

Wang Pingan's voice came through the Formation.

"Once resources enter my Divine Kingdom, they will become the Family's territory."

Wang Cang's blood surged within his chest.

If anyone else had said this, it would have been somewhat arrogant.

But the Black Swamp Scale Nest had just been breached, and the eight thousand square kilometers of Divine Kingdom were proving the weight of these words.

Wang Cang cupped his fists and bowed heavily: "Your subordinate will certainly convey this."

Inside the secret chamber, Wang Pingan closed his eyes, and the Star Brilliance Emblem rotated slowly within the Divine Core space.

Grade A Sequence, Family's increased investment, Guardian Elder, free coordinates—none of these were the end goal.

Once these things fell into his hands, there was only one final destination.

Divine Kingdom expansion.

Legion upgrades.

Continuing to annex alien Divine Kingdoms.

Wang Pingan shut off external communication, retaining only the official channel for Xinghe University and the emergency channel for the Family.

The Formation of the secret chamber lit up layer by layer, blocking all incoming visits, invitations, probes, and trade requests from the outside.

He placed the Grade A Sequence emblem into the Divine Core space, and the star brilliance slowly merged along the edge of the Divine Core.

The account interface popped up accordingly.

[Grade A Sequence First Month Subsidy: One hundred Divine Power, received.]

Wang Pingan stared at the changing numbers, feeling for the first time the true watershed of the resource system at the Deity stage.

Source Power could still solve most problems during the newcomer stage, but after reaching Demigod, what truly drove Divine Kingdom wars and the exchange of high-level resources was Divine Power.

In the past, spending tens of millions of Source Power required careful calculation.

Now, the monthly subsidy for the Grade A Sequence was one hundred Divine Power.

If converted into Source Power, that was ten billion.

The one hundred Divine Power added by the Family would also be transferred to his exclusive account before the end of the month.

One hundred from the school, one hundred from the Family—two hundred Divine Power per month.

This was not just an abundance of resources; it was the confidence to continuously wage Demigod-level wars.

Wang Pingan withdrew his thoughts, and his consciousness sank into his Divine Kingdom.

Above the sky, the phantom of the Divine Lord manifested, and the entire Divine Kingdom immediately quieted down.

The changes after annexing the Black Swamp Scale Nest had already fully unfolded.

The original four thousand square kilometers of Divine Kingdom had now expanded to eight thousand square kilometers.

The edge continent extended outward, the eastern Spiritual Plant area became wider, and a large expanse of new plains appeared between the Northern Military Camp and the northwestern mineral veins.

The most conspicuous changes were at the southern and southwestern borders.

Large areas of wetlands, river networks, and controllable swamp zones had appeared.

The black mud no longer churned uncontrollably, and the corrosive water had been refined by the Divine Core, turning into a low-intensity Corrosive Water Law.

This area had been sealed off by the Formation Hall into multiple research zones, allowing for both the isolation of danger and the provision of ordnance testing and Medicinal Pill toxin testing.

The Black Tide raw material was suppressed within a newly built Black Tide pool, the walls of which were carved with flow-suppressing patterns and purification Formation patterns.

The Alchemy Pavilion, Formation Hall, Casting Workshop, and Armor Battalion all sent personnel to guard it.

Wang Pingan looked down at that area, his gaze revealing satisfaction.

The dangers of the Black Swamp Scale Nest had not been wasted.

Poisonous swamps, corrosive water, Black Tide, scale armor, and humid heat Laws had all been dismantled into resources that the Divine Kingdom could utilize.

This was exactly what made annexing a complete alien Divine Kingdom truly valuable.

Simply expanding the area was merely a superficial benefit.

Turning the enemy's Laws into one's own war Foundation was the greater harvest.

Wang Mu and Wang Shan quickly arrived beneath the phantom of the Divine Lord.

The aura on both of them became increasingly heavy, yet they were still stuck at the carrying limit of the Demigod Divine Kingdom, unable to truly step into the Purple Mansion and Martial Master levels.

Wang Pingan did not pay attention to their Realm, his gaze falling first on the population and military system.

After twenty-one years of initial evolution and another twenty years of preparation for the Black Swamp, the Divine Kingdom's population had exceeded the hundreds of thousands.

The Aptitude of newborns had significantly improved, and basic education had also spread to more towns.

The main combat army still maintained a structure of three thousand core troops, two thousand support troops, and ten thousand militia reserves.

Wang Pingan had not blindly expanded the army.

At the Demigod stage, the area and energy cycle of the Divine Kingdom were still limited; rapid population growth would dilute resources, and blind expansion of the legions would lower training quality.

What was most important right now was not piling up numbers, but improving the various arts, education, logistics, and the ability to adapt to complex battlefields.

Wang Pingan issued a Divine Oracle.

"Report the post-war results of the Black Swamp."

Wang Mu stepped forward, holding several Jade Slips in his hands.

"Divine Lord, the Alchemy Pavilion has recorded the toxicity of the Black Tide. The three-stage solution—protecting Spiritual Qi nodes, clearing Qi return paths, and discharging residual toxins—can all be reused."

"The improved version of the Miasma-Clearing Pill can be listed as standard military pills. If we encounter poison miasma-type Divine Kingdoms in the future, it can directly shorten the adaptation time."

The Jade Slip flickered slightly, Wang Mu's voice steady.

"The Formation Hall has perfected the flow-suppressing pile system. The counter-current patterns and pressure-sinking Formation cores can be used separately or integrated into temporary purification positions."

"The Talisman Institute has upgraded the Miasma-Clearing Talisman, and the Spirit Planting Department has begun cultivating rot-resistant Spiritual Plants. Currently, the survival rate of the first batch of seedlings is thirty percent, and trial planting needs to continue."

Wang Pingan nodded slightly.

These results were far more important than simply capturing a few batches of Materials.

They could be recorded, copied, taught, and disseminated.

The next time they battled a poison swamp-type alien Divine Kingdom, the legions would not need to start trial-and-error from scratch.

Wang Shan followed closely and stepped forward, the newly changed armor on his body still retaining the black scale coating.

"Divine Lord, in the Black Swamp battle, all thirty-seven seriously injured soldiers have been saved, and currently, no one has suffered Foundation damage."

"The main armor has been severely damaged, especially the front-line shield soldiers and rescue teams. After the battle, one thousand one hundred and twenty-seven pieces were scrapped, and eight hundred and forty-three pieces required heavy repairs."

Wang Shan patted the heavy armor on his body, his tone carrying a hint of emotion.

"It hurts to spend the money, but everyone is alive; this deal is worth it."

Wang Pingan's gaze fell.

Wang Shan straightened his back, his expression turning solemn.

"The black scale coating, scale adhesive ropes, flow-suppressing bases, and the improved design of the Floating Board Shield Vehicle can all be retained long-term."

"In the future, when the heavy armor legions enter swamp, corrosive water, or humid-toxic terrain, they will no longer be stuck by the terrain."

Wang Mu turned slightly and picked up the conversation.

"The elevated deployment system of the Artillery Battalion will also be retained. Although deployment is slow, it can adapt to soft ground, wetlands, and shallow swamp environments."
