All Gods: Starting with Two Families

Chapter 94 The Person Who Responds to the SituationA deity roared angrily, ”Accept your terms? I’ll never be able to ascend again! How is that any different from a slow Death? I’d rather die in battle with my followers!”

But there were also deities who wavered in the face of the immediate threat of Death, their trembling Divine Thought reaching out toward that contract...

”Um...”

Just then, a voice that sounded somewhat honest and straightforward cut in; it was Zhou Zheng, who had taken the Incarnation of a stone deity.

”Actually... I have quite a lot of stock of mechanical bionic units. You can just trade them for architectural blueprints.”

Before he had even finished speaking, dozens of glowing cards appeared in the Void Realm, each representing 100,000 mechanical bionic units.

”However, my products are not as refined as those of Gear Deity, they are only at the lv.4 level,” he added, sounding somewhat ”embarrassed.”

The gods in despair seemed to see hope again and instantly surrounded Zhou Zheng’s divine thought projection.

”I want them! I’ll trade!”

”Here is this lv.5 [Volcano Furnace] for you!” ”And here is my lv.5 [Hidden Blade Valley]!”

Before long, the mechanical bionic units that Zhou Zheng had stockpiled were sold out, and he had a stack of quite precious architectural blueprints in his hands.

...But he finally spread his hands and said to the Minotaur Deity, ”Brother, I’m really sorry, I’m all out.”

Zhou Zheng did not consider himself a Saint who could help someone who had tried to cheat him without any hard feelings.

The Minotaur Deity’s projection gritted his teeth, his face turning red with anger. But he did not choose to trade with Gear Deity either; he cast an impotent, angry look at Zhou Zheng before returning to his Divine Domain.

Gear’s Divine Thought swept coldly over Zhou Zheng, and without saying another word, he left decisively.

The Myriad Spirits Divine System was so vast that if he couldn’t do ”business” here, there were naturally other buyers.

Zhou Zheng did not stop him.

Over the past hundred years, he had been frantically expanding production.

Apart from a small portion used to equip his own Divine Domain and for temporary trades, the vast majority of the mechanical bionic units he manufactured had long been handed over to Hell Flower in exchange for high-level temple blueprints.

And Hell Flower naturally had her ways of letting these units flow into the interior of the God System.

As long as they could survive the first, most ferocious wave of the surprise attack, and proceed steadily afterward, the situation would not be unmanageable, with the deities relying on defensive fortifications and their gradually adapting followers.

...Provided that the current crisis did not escalate further.

And Gear Deity’s plan to use this crisis to bind and control a portion of the deities would likely fall through.

Zhou Zheng did not feel much pride in his heart; instead, another conversation from a long time ago surfaced.

After receiving that pitch-black Divine Thought letter from Hell Flower, he was filled with doubts. He had quietly slipped out of the Myriad Weapons Resounding Plane and arrived once again at that strange Plane where netherfire burned and endless manjusaka grew.

”Why... do you want me to learn his methods?”

Zhou Zheng looked at Hell Flower, who was lazily lying on her side, and asked in confusion, ”I think there is something very wrong with him.”

He had thought about whether to hint at the anomalies of the Calamity Abyss, but the moment the thought arose, a cold warning sign originating from the instinct of his godhood suddenly emerged!

He clearly felt that as long as he dared to reveal even the slightest bit—even if the other party couldn’t understand it at all—it would immediately trigger a terrifying calamity to descend directly upon his Divine Domain!

That was an absolute rule and taboo that could not be violated.

”Oh? Is that so?” Hell Flower stretched lazily, not caring in the slightest, causing the shattered porcelain on her body to gently collide, emitting a faint, crisp sound.

”Do you think we wouldn’t know about things you can see?”

She casually plucked a manjusaka that was in full bloom from her side, looked at it in front of her eyes, seemingly quite satisfied, and then casually pinned it into her pale hair. That bewitching red formed a breathtaking contrast.

”This is just... complying with the arrangement of the world,” she said inexplicably.

Zhou Zheng shook his head and said frankly, ”I don’t understand.”

Hell Flower hesitated for a rare moment, then said with a hint of solemnity, ”Forget it, since you have already noticed something yourself, it doesn’t matter if I tell you.”

She paused and revealed a secret: ”In this endless Void Realm where we exist, every so often—perhaps every ten billion years, or perhaps as short as ten thousand years—some extremely terrifying natural disasters will always descend without warning!”

”Every natural disaster is a screening process for the replacement of an era. And on the eve of the opening of every new era, some deities who ’respond to the trend’ are often born.”

”Their speed of ascension is beyond imagination, and they always bring a brand new, powerful power system, or even lead a new direction for civilization!”

”And the interesting thing is, the power of these new systems often has some close, or even homologous, connection with the natural disasters that descend!”

Zhou Zheng’s heart shook violently, and he instantly understood many connections.

The sudden invasion by the Necromancy God System and the Demon God System, the impatient merger of the Myriad Spirits Divine System... the God Systems had all suddenly begun to acquire power so aggressively.

”Then... what exactly is the God System’s plan for this?”

Hell Flower chuckled, first pointing at Zhou Zheng: ”You are in the Soldier Spirit Pool Guild, so naturally, from your perspective, you think Gear Deity is the most prominent ’one who responds to the trend’.”

Then, she pointed to herself: ”But from my perspective, looking at the entire Myriad Spirits Divine System with its hundreds of guilds, and even deities outside the God System’s crystal wall system, there is no telling how many existences like him—’strange’, rapidly ascending, and mastering new systems—there are.”

”So,” the smile on her face became somewhat cunning as she looked at Zhou Zheng, ”we need to cast a wide net. Isn’t the mission given to you one of the preparations we have made?”
