All Gods: Starting with Two Families

Chapter 179 Winner Takes AllThe moment the barrier dissipated, Zhou Zheng sensed the hidden auras surrounding him.

Not just one.

A dozen. Two dozen. Perhaps even more.

They were hiding in the shadows, waiting for the moment the barrier shattered. Waiting for the gods within the barrier to fight until both sides were exhausted, then rushing out to pick up the scraps.

But what they got in return was not mutual destruction, but three gods in peak condition!

Zhou Zheng closed his eyes.

The master evolution god token trembled gently deep within his Divine Thought.

With him as the center, within a radius of several miles, all the sub-divine order tokens were clearly visible—those tokens were the identification marks of the gods, and also the anchors of their power.

He raised his hand and clenched it gently.

The power of the master token spread outward.

Those sub-tokens trembled violently at the same moment. Their runes began to dim, their functions began to fail, and their connections with the gods began to break.

The gods hiding in the shadows suddenly found they could no longer sense the existence of their divine office.

It hadn’t disappeared; it was dormant. As if something had locked and suppressed that familiar power, making it impossible for them to call upon it.

”What’s going on?!”

”My divine office—”

”Damn it, what happened!”

Screams of alarm rang out from all directions.

Zhou Zheng did not give them time to react.

He moved.

The ”infant” sequence allowed him to instantly evolve the speed best suited for the current battlefield. Like a ray of light, he rushed into the first hiding spot. Before that god could react, his chest had already been pierced.

The divine authority fragments were extracted, and the divine order token was stripped away.

The first one.

Then the second. The third. The fourth.

Those gods didn’t even have time to resist. With their divine office suppressed, they were no different from ordinary believers. Zhou Zheng’s speed was too fast, so fast that they didn’t even have a chance to flee.

The God of Depravity and the God of Ascension were also in action.

The God of Depravity’s ability caused those gods to fall into a brief mental trance. They stood where they were, eyes vacant, allowing long swords to pierce their bodies.

The God of Ascension sprinkled poisonous light—wherever it went, it was like the arrival of the Grim Reaper. She also forcibly extracted the Life force of other gods to restore the state of the God of Metamorphosis and the God of Depravity!

A quarter of an hour.

Just a quarter of an hour.

Twenty-seven ambushing gods, completely wiped out.

Zhou Zheng stood among the corpses, looking down at the pile of divine order tokens in his hand. Twenty-seven pieces, plus the ones collected before, already exceeded six hundred.

The evolution god token began to devour again.

One by one, those tokens turned into golden light and were sucked into it. The aura of the evolution god token grew stronger and stronger, and the runes on its surface became increasingly complex.

...

The slaughter had begun.

Zhou Zheng no longer hid, no longer lurked, no longer waited. He took the initiative.

With the master evolution god token in hand, the positions of all sub-tokens were clearly visible in his consciousness. Only red dots remained on the network—those were his prey.

He went after them one by one.

Some of those gods were resting, some were healing, and some were fighting others.

Their first reaction upon seeing Zhou Zheng was not fear, but anger—after all, Zhou Zheng had offended too many people before.

Then they discovered that they could not mobilize the power of their divine office!

They died.

The more Zhou Zheng killed, the more divine order tokens he devoured.

The more divine order tokens he devoured, the more tokens he could control. The more tokens he could control, the easier it was for him to kill.

A terrifying cycle.

Finally, someone realized what was happening.

It was a god from the evil faction, and his strength was not weak. The moment he saw Zhou Zheng, he didn’t rush up, but turned and ran.

He ran very fast.

Zhou Zheng chased after him.

As the god ran, he frantically activated his divine order token, trying to contact other survivors. But he discovered that his token could no longer send out any signals.

At the same time, Zhou Zheng used the evolution god token to split off new sub-tokens.

Those sub-tokens mixed into the divine order token network, disguised as normal tokens, reporting false information to the world will: the number of people was still over three hundred. The war was not over yet. The Plane could not open the exit yet.

He couldn’t escape.

The god discovered in despair that no matter where he ran, Zhou Zheng could find him. No matter where he hid, Zhou Zheng could catch up.

In the end, he died in a ruin.

Zhou Zheng took the divine order token from his body and threw it to the evolution god token to devour.

Then he continued.

...

I don’t know how long it had been.

Zhou Zheng stopped, looked up, and surveyed his surroundings.

It was empty.

On the battlefield, only he remained.

Those red dots had all disappeared.

Eight hundred gods.

In the end, only he and his two Subordinate Gods remained.

The God of Depravity stood behind him, covered in blood, but with fanatical eyes. The God of Ascension stood on the other side, her aura steady, healing light still flowing slowly.

Zhou Zheng said nothing.

He closed his eyes and probed his Divine Thought into the evolution god token.

Those devoured divine order tokens, those absorbed divine authority fragments, those authorities hidden deep within the divine office—at this moment, they were all mixed together, like a mass of mottled paint.

The Authority of Evolution began to operate.

The authorities it could digest were absorbed one by one. Those it could not digest for the time being were used as Materials for forging the Divine Artifact.

I don’t know how long it had been.

The evolution god token trembled slightly.

It had metamorphosed.

It was no longer a simple Divine Artifact embryo. It was now a true Divine Artifact!

Zhou Zheng’s expression was indifferent.

The All-Knowing Eye.

That talent that had accompanied him ever since he embarked on the path of the gods. That talent that allowed him to see through calamity cards, see through Laws, and see through divine authority fragments.

Zhou Zheng had realized long ago that a broken [Secrecy] authority was hidden within it!

The All-Knowing Eye rose from the depths of his consciousness and slowly merged into the newly born Divine Artifact.

The evolution god token trembled gently, draining all the ”evolution” power it had just acquired, pouring it all into the [Secrecy] authority.

Light exploded.

Then it converged again.

When everything calmed down, Zhou Zheng felt a new power.

The [Secrecy] authority.

He could hide anything he wanted to hide.

Zhou Zheng stood on the edge of the God-Forsaken Land, watching the exit that was slowly opening.

He could feel the gazes from outside. Those gazes were greedy, burning, and impatient. The things in his hands—complete authorities, 300 divine offices, a complete Divine Artifact, the Origin of an entire Plane—were enough to drive any existence mad.

If he walked out just like that, he would immediately lose everything.

Zhou Zheng closed his eyes.

His Divine Thought sank into his body.

The Origin of the world accumulated by his main body still had a lot left. It was originally intended to deal with various accidents, but now—

He opened his eyes.

All Origin power, burned at once.

The [Secrecy] authority operated at full power.

That power surged from his body, silent, formless, and intangible, like a transparent film, slowly covering the entire God-Forsaken Land.

It was not covering, not hiding, not disguising.

It was making all of this temporarily disappear from the ”concepts” of the gods.

Those gazes staring at this place suddenly faltered.

The God-Forsaken Land hadn’t disappeared; it had been ”forgotten.”

Only briefly.

But it was enough.

The evolution god token flew out of Zhou Zheng’s hand, growing in the wind. The ouroboros pattern on its surface came to Life, opened its mouth, and swallowed the entire God-Forsaken Land in one gulp.

The Plane was trembling, shrinking, and being sucked into that tiny token.

Mountains, oceans, islands, ruins—and those corpses that hadn’t yet dissipated, those Souls that were still sleeping, that world will that had just been born not long ago—

All were swallowed inside.

Whoosh—

The evolution god token turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the end of the Void Realm.

The main bodies of those gods stood frozen in place; it was a long time before someone spoke.

”What... are we doing here?”
