All Gods: Starting with Two Families

Chapter 89 Gear ProductionAfter obtaining the blueprint, constructing a level 1 building was not difficult.

Zhou Zheng concentrated and studied it for a moment, and an assembly line factory with a regular structure and a cold metallic sheen quickly took shape in a corner of the Underground City.

This automated assembly line came with manufacturing templates for several types of basic components, all of which were small, standard metal parts—Gear of various specifications, screws, nuts, and bearings...

The deity who called himself ”Gear” also released news: as long as enough of these standard parts were accumulated, one could go to him to exchange them for a special type of metal Puppet!

This matter carried an unusual air, and Zhou Zheng thought that if he wanted to learn more, the most direct way was to simply go and exchange for one.

Soon, a team of Nether Worker Ants was dispatched to the side of the assembly line.

After the Blacksmith briefly explained the precautions, they quickly got to work.

Just as the team leader said, this job had very low requirements for casting experience and relied more on discipline and the precision of repetitive work.

And this was precisely where the talent of the Nether Ant Clan lay.

They were orderly, and soon, qualified metal parts began to pour continuously from the end of the production line, were quickly transported to the warehouse by the Worker Ants, and the accumulated quantity grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was still a bit short of the number required for the exchange.

Taking advantage of this gap, Zhou Zheng sank a trace of his Divine Thought into the bottom layer of his Divine Domain.

A droplet that faintly glowed with blue light and seemed to have Life flowing inside quietly appeared, hovering in front of him.

This was the mysterious object previously obtained from the Yinghai Plane, the root cause of the Giant Merman’s coma.

The last time his consciousness was immersed in it, he became a tadpole, evolved into a frog by devouring his companions, but was ultimately accidentally devoured by a powerful goldfish, forcing his Divine Thought to be ejected.

After many attempts, he had roughly figured out the rules here: devour existences similar in size or smaller than himself, and after accumulating enough energy, he could evolve into the next form.

He changed from a tadpole to a frog, then to a turtle and a goldfish, but every time he evolved to the goldfish form, no matter how he searched, he could not find weaker targets in the pond, and in the end, he was always finished off by a crucian carp.

His Divine Thought touched the cold droplet once again.

A familiar feeling of trance washed over him, and the surrounding scenery changed instantly.

He felt the water surrounding him again, and his body became tiny and clumsy—he had become that pitch-black tadpole again, swimming and wagging its tail at the bottom of the clear yet murderous pond.

A target quickly appeared; another oblivious tadpole was right in front.

The tadpole that Zhou Zheng had transformed into suddenly exerted force and rushed over, easily ”devouring” it.

However, this time, he clearly felt a surge of energy stronger than any previous time flowing into his body!

It was the effect of the [Devour] divine technique!

Even in this strange illusion, this power originating from his divine essence actually took effect; although it was extremely weak, it brought a tangible advantage.

Zhou Zheng’s spirits lifted, and he began to carry out an efficient ”hunt” in this pond.

The evolution process became exceptionally smooth, and he made continuous Breakthroughs with almost no resistance!

Frog, turtle, goldfish, crucian carp... and even an electric eel capable of releasing a weak electric current!

Every time he evolved, the feeling of controlling a brand-new body was incredibly real, especially the electric eel’s ability to release electric currents, which brought Zhou Zheng a sense of novelty in controlling lightning.

Just as he was gradually adapting to the electric eel’s body and thought he could continue to make Breakthroughs all the way—

The surrounding water suddenly became turbulent and dangerous!

A terrifying pressure that made his heart tremble came crashing from the depths of the water!

The next moment, a huge, ferocious, grey figure covered in old scars rushed out at a shocking speed!

It was a shark!

Its giant mouth opened, like a pitch-black abyss of Death, densely packed sharp teeth flashing with cold light, and its speed far exceeded imagination!

Zhou Zheng subconsciously mobilized all his power, releasing his strongest electric current!

Crackle!

Dazzling electric light exploded and darted in the water, but it only caused the terrifying beast’s body to pause for an insignificant instant, and it didn’t even truly slow down its momentum!

That bloody maw had already descended, and darkness completely swallowed his vision.

His Divine Thought was rudely ejected back to his main body, and the familiar feeling of failure washed over him again.

Zhou Zheng slowly took a breath, suppressing the lingering trepidation in his consciousness.

”It seems it’s still not enough...” he whispered to himself, but his gaze became increasingly sharp.

Although he failed again, he was becoming interested in the story behind this water droplet.

The secret hidden behind this droplet of water was likely far more astonishing than he had anticipated!
