The system was set three years in advance, but the universal deities still hadn't arrived.

Chapter 15 River Creek Bay, Gain God-Rank Experience
Zeng Shen was somewhat surprised.

The cats didn't dare to move when they saw the palace of the gods, but Little White was able to take the initiative to approach the statue at the entrance of the palace of the gods.

Could it be that it's related to this statue?
Zeng Shen was puzzled, but he didn't think much of it. Time would give him the answers he didn't need to know for the time being.

Little White entered the gate of the divine realm, walked to the foot of the dog-shaped statue, and rubbed against it repeatedly, even letting out a bark or two that sounded like a greeting.

Zeng Shen also went in. With a thought, he closed the gate to the divine realm, then turned and walked into the palace of the gods, sitting on the chair in the center of the palace for a while.

After experiencing the grandeur of the palace, the deity emerged again and headed towards the edge of the forest.

"Wang Wang."

When the little white dog saw him leave the temple of the gods, it immediately chased after him and followed closely by his side.

"Haha, I thought you were going to hang out with that statue for hours."

Zeng Shen smiled and hugged Xiaobai in his arms, then quickened his pace to the edge of the forest.

Time in the Divine Realm is synchronized with that of Earth; it is also dusk, with the sky both dark and bright.

Of course, even though it's nighttime now.

But Zeng Shen looked at his divine realm and saw that it was no different from daytime.

The cats that were brought in earlier are now wandering and lurking near the edge of the forest, instead of plunging into the depths of the forest or running around aimlessly.

Zeng Shen approached the edge of the forest.

From within the dense haystack, a soft, familiar meow rang out.

A small black cat with a few withered leaves stuck in its fluffy black fur darted out and rubbed against his feet.

When Xiaobai saw Xiaohei in his arms, it immediately jumped down from Zeng Shen's arms, circled around Xiaohei, and let out a happy and cheerful cry, just like seeing a good friend it had not seen for a long time.

As Zeng Shen crouched down to pick off the dead branches from Xiao Hei's body, he heard several kitten meows of varying sizes.

Xiao Bai, who was circling around Xiao Hei, heard these cat meows.

His fur suddenly stood on end, and he looked in the direction of the sound. He saw five kittens that had appeared by a big tree not far away, and he made a fierce look, barking as if to tell them not to come any closer.

Zeng Shen frowned slightly, feeling a bit of a headache.

Xiaobai barks at these kittens every time it sees them. How will it integrate with them in the future?
Sudden.

Behind a big tree.

A sharp, angry shout rang out.

Beside a large tree, the big black cat slowly emerged, its steps as powerful as a tiger descending a mountain, accompanied by several kittens. Staring at Xiaobai, it slowly walked towards Zeng Shen.

Upon seeing the big black cat, Xiaobai's aura faltered slightly, but seeing its owner beside it, it regained some of its confidence, much like a dog relying on its master's power, and barked again.

"Wang Wang."

"Aim~"

The big black cat's golden eyes darted around, radiating a dangerous aura, as it stared intently at Little White. It let out a loud, piercing meow, its voice carrying a strong sense of discipline.

As if to say.

"Little dog, try barking again."

“Woof…”

Little White's cries weakened slightly again, but it still kept chirping.

But when the big black cat walked up to it...

It looked at the huge black cat's massive figure, like a tiger descending a mountain, its sharp eyes, and its slightly raised, enormous paws.

In that instant, it lost all its imposing manner, its limbs trembled, and it involuntarily took a step back, lowering its head and not daring to meet its gaze, as if it had given in.

"a ha ha ha."

Zeng Shen, watching from the side, couldn't help but chuckle with schadenfreude. He had thought that Xiao Bai would overestimate himself and fight the big black cat, only to be beaten into submission and then back down. But in the end, he didn't even dare to fight and just chickened out.

That makes sense, though. Dogs are natural predators, cats are their nemesis; it's an instinct written into their genetic code.

No matter how much the little white cat bullies its master, if it encounters a big black cat about to attack it, its innate species instinct, ingrained in its genes, will still instinctively make it afraid.

Of course, Zeng Shen had to admit that Xiao Bai's ability to bark incessantly under the watchful eye of the big black cat, only backing down when the cat raised its paw to attack, showed a level of courage far exceeding that of most puppies.

However, even though Little White gave in, the big black cat had no intention of letting it go.

With a "meow," the big black cat's paw suddenly slammed down on the little white dog's head amidst Zeng Shen's laughter.

The little white dog was in so much pain that it immediately started barking.

"Ow~"

"aim."

The big black cat let out another stern meow, as if telling it to shut up, and raised its paw once more, its claws gleaming with a cold light.

Little White was so frightened that it shut its mouth and dared not bark.

But the instinctive trembling in his body became increasingly obvious.

Zeng Shen wanted to go up and take Xiaobai away, after all, Xiaobai would be his future mount.

If I slap you again.

He wasn't happy about it.

however.

Just as Zeng Shen was about to step forward, a small black shadow darted to Xiao Bai's side faster than him.

That dark figure was a little black cat.

The little black cat stood in front of the white cat, opened its mouth, and let out a soft, weak meow at the big black cat. Then it snuggled into the big black cat's arms, making sweet, meowing sounds, just like a daughter snuggling in her mother's arms.

Amidst the kitten's meows, the black cat's sharp eyes gradually softened, and its raised, sharp claws slowly retracted.

Finally, he even lay down on the spot, looking lazy.

After Xiaobai learned that Xiaohei had helped it out of its predicament, it let out a soft whimper that sounded like it was expressing its gratitude.

Seeing this, Zeng Shen smiled inexplicably, squatted down, picked up Xiaobai, stroked its fur to soothe it, and then turned and walked towards the left edge of the forest.

When he looked down at the divine realm earlier, he saw a small stream on the left side of the edge of this forest.

Above the stream is a waterfall pond. The waterfall cascades down from the mountain and forms a pond below. The water from the pond flows towards the edge of the forest, thus forming this stream.

Zeng Shen planned to release plankton cards into the stream for a few days to allow the plankton to multiply before releasing freshwater shrimp and freshwater carp in sequence.

Soon, they had walked about 100 meters.

Zeng Shen then saw that stream.

This stream is very wide.

It's about four or five meters long.

The stream has varying depths, with the deepest part appearing to be about half a meter deep. The water is crystal clear, and stones of different sizes are scattered randomly across the riverbed.

The banks of the stream are lined with lush green trees, their canopies swaying gently, making a walk along the path feel like strolling through a painting.

A gentle breeze rustled the leaves, carrying a refreshing scent that instantly swept away Zeng Shen's fatigue.

"This is a wonderful place. From now on, let's call this stream River Creek Bay, and the pond and waterfall above it River Creek Pond and River Creek Waterfall."

Zeng Shen gave this place a name, then took out a plankton card and focused his consciousness slightly.

The white card in his hand instantly transformed into countless faint starlight points, which flew towards the stream.

[The host has released one plankton card into the water area of ​​their divine realm, gaining ten plankton swarms and increasing their divine rank experience by 1.]

Upon hearing the system notification, Zeng Shen's eyes lit up.

Through these few days of exploration.

He had been pondering how to gain god-level experience and improve his god-level rank.

Unexpectedly, as long as he used the cards in the Divine Realm, he could increase his divine rank.

Immediately, he took out several white resource cards, transformed them into a consciousness entity, and flew to the sky above the divine realm.
