Yang Fan bought them all to increase the number of predators in the sky and prevent the Dark Night Vultures from dominating alone.
After putting the Resources into his Divine Kingdom, Yang Fan handed down another Divine Decree, informing them of the Planting method for the Hundred-Spirit Peach and the existence of the Spirit Fishlings.

Yang Fan continued his peaceful daily life, attending classes on time, routinely browsing the Divine Shop and forums, and checking his Divine Kingdom for any unexpected developments. In the blink of an eye, twenty days had passed.
Within the Divine Kingdom, that amounted to 200 years.
It had been exactly one month since he last sold Moon Dew and other materials, so Yang Fan prepared to sell another batch to replenish his Faith Points.
However, before he could enter his Divine Kingdom, he felt a warm current surge through his body.
Immense power flooded into his limbs and bones. Yang Fan felt that he was easily four to five times stronger than before.
Sensing the massive change in his Divine Kingdom, Yang Fan hurriedly immersed his consciousness inside.
"Believers: mortal (120,000), Daily Faith Points generated: 1.4."
Over these 200 years, the believer population in the Divine Kingdom had actually peaked and then dropped back down.
Roughly 100 years ago in the Divine Kingdom's calendar, the population broke through the 240,000 mark.
At that time, the population density of Divine Revelation City and the other four cities had reached an extreme high, and all kinds of small tribes began to emerge around the five major cities.
The believers began to hunt in order to sustain their food supply.
Subsequently, people in the four major cities grew dissatisfied with how the Tai Sui flesh was distributed and initiated negotiations with the main city.
The negotiations failed, and conflict erupted.
The four cities of Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise laid siege to Shenqi.
In history, this was known as the Rebellion of the Four Kings.
All of this took place while Yang Fan was asleep, but even if he had been awake, he would not have actively intervened.
Believers were also human, naturally possessing the full range of human desires, greed, anger, ignorance, and hatred. War would only make civilization stronger.
As their god, as long as the civilization in his Divine Kingdom did not face extinction, he would never intervene in its development.
The Rebellion of the Four Kings lasted for ten years, and the population plummeted to 80,000.
In the end, One Emperor and Four Kings signed a non-aggression pact: Divine Revelation City received 40% of the Tai Sui flesh, while the remaining 60% was divided among the four cities.
This war weeded out a large number of weak believers, leaving behind mostly the experts.
Following that, nearly a century of peace arrived, and the population skyrocketed back to 180,000.
Because the believers cultivated the Federal Body Refinement Technique, their meat consumption escalated the stronger they became.
Now, with a population of 180,000, Tai Sui flesh alone was no longer sufficient to sustain them.
The population entered a dynamic shift.
170,000, 160,000, 130,000, 120,000.
During this century, Divine Revelation City expanded nearly twofold, and the four cities had also built fortified walls, significantly decreasing their population density.
Believers began engaging in commerce, and those in power started enacting laws and establishing rules.
Because of this, Yang Fan's believers transformed from Ancients into mortals.
Watching his believers develop from a god's-eye perspective, Yang Fan was very pleased. Perhaps before long, Tier-1 lifeforms would emerge among them.
"The Federal Body Refinement Technique is only good for laying a foundation; even if cultivated to the limit, they will only become Tier-1 lifeforms. Later on, I'll still have to buy Cultivation Techniques and various weapons. Relying solely on the believers to fumble their way through Inheritance is far too slow. All of this requires Faith Points!" Yang Fan rubbed his head. Sometimes, developing a Divine Kingdom too quickly brought its own headaches.
Yang Fan assessed the assets in his Divine Kingdom, took out blank cards to extract all the Moon Dew and Sun Essence, and then took twenty thousand Bodhi Treasure Snakes, two thousand Dark Night Vultures, twenty thousand Spirit Fishlings, and twenty thousand Water Lotus Seeds.

All these Resources were put up for sale on Taotao Network.
"Total revenue: 810,000 Faith Points. Deducting 10% personal income tax and 2% platform transaction fee, the net income is 712,800 Faith Points."
"Faith Points: 1,662,000 (Daily Faith Points generated: 1.4)"
Sensing that the food chain in the Divine Kingdom was very stable, Yang Fan decided to spend 1,200,000 Faith Points to purchase two more Moon Wells and two more Sun Springs in order to make full use of his Faith Points.
"Faith Points: 462,000 (Daily Faith Points generated: 1.4)
Buildings: Moon Well x7, Sun Spring x7."
Given the Level of internet and technology development in this era, as long as one was willing to put in the effort, virtually all knowledge could be obtained online. Therefore, the proportion of knowledge taught by teachers in class diminished, and daytime classes became increasingly scarce.
Having so much free time, even someone as socially averse as Yang Fan began participating in gatherings with his classmates.
It was not out of boredom, but because he gradually realized that these classmates of his actually had valuable insights.
Unlike the Gods' Forum, talking face-to-face in the Virtual World led people to be far more open and heartfelt.
Which Spirit Plants could be cultivated on a large scale for the highest overall return; what treasures could significantly improve believers' Aptitude; whether there were cheap yet powerful Cultivation Techniques; and how private transactions to evade taxes were actually legal.
Everyone searched for information online, distilled what was useful, and shared it with one another.
Yang Fan had to admit that humans were indeed social animals; the efficiency of collaborating was far superior to working alone.
Especially with Geniuses like Li Shuhao who possessed major Clan backgrounds, his information channels were far beyond their reach, often leaving everyone enlightened with just a single remark.
In a private room at the Heavenly Fragrance Club.
Li Shuhao, Wang Zhenyu, Yang Fan, Zhang Pang, and a dozen or so other male classmates from Class 7, Grade 12 gathered together.
With a prominent big shot like Li Shuhao present, quite a few female classmates had also wanted to attend. However, a place like the Heavenly Fragrance Club was a bit awkward; with girls they knew in real life around, they couldn't cut loose at all, so female classmates were no longer invited later on.
"Brother Hao, besides the Federal Body Refinement Technique, my believers have also been cultivating the Muscle-Tendon Changing and Marrow-Cleansing Technique. Their meat consumption is terrifyingly high. The rate at which the Pool of Wine and Forest of Meat produces meat simply can't keep up, so I have to buy meat from the Divine Shop every day now." Wang Zhenyu took a heavy swig of his drink.
Having come to terms with things, he no longer saw Li Shuhao as a rival, but rather followed his lead completely, respectfully calling him 'Brother Hao' left and right.
Before Li Shuhao could speak, a rather short classmate raised his hand and said, "I have an animal husbandry Talent and raise quite a few Bodhi Treasure Snakes. In particular, unranked cattle, horses, sheep, and the like produce an excess of seventy to eighty thousand every day. Brother Wang, do you want to buy from me? It'll bypass the Divine Shop's taxes, and I'll give you a 5% discount—a win-win for both of us."
"No problem, I'll take as many Bodhi Treasure Snakes as you have. But forget the beef and mutton; my believers are already Ancients now and have stepped onto the path of the Federal Body Refinement Technique. Ordinary meat is completely useless to them and can only be used to fill their bellies," Wang Zhenyu nodded in agreement.
