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

Chapter 31 Corpses Littered the Field
"Haha, it's done."

Zeng Shen laughed heartily, looking at the queen ant in his palm, and continued to let Hei Zai act as a messenger.

"Let the queen ant issue an order that all the ants in her colony submit to me, obey my commands for all eternity, and serve me. I can do whatever I want with them, and they must obey me unconditionally."

Blackie quickly relayed Zeng Shen's orders to the queen ant.

Soon.

The queen ant struggled to move her plump body, hovering along the edge of the leaf, her antennae swaying towards the ant colony's nest.

Zeng Shen instantly understood and placed the leaf on the ant colony that was now in an uproar.

As soon as the queen appeared, the ants swarmed around her and seemed to want to eliminate Blackie and the others.

But the queen ant only slightly twisted her plump body and her antennae twitched slightly, and all the ants stopped.

Immediately afterwards, from the dense swarm of ants, one or two ants began to emit beams of intelligent white light, which surged towards Zeng Shen.

[Congratulations, host! Under the guidance of the Mighty Ant Queen, all Mighty Ants have followed her and worshipped you as a deity. Survival points +5500.]

[Congratulations, host, you have gained 550 general followers, and your Faith has increased by 5500.]

"Wow, this is a huge profit!"

"We reaped the rewards in one go: 550 general believers, of which all but five male ants were females."

"Moreover, not only did we recover all the faith we had consumed, we also gained a total of 6500 survival points."

"Now I have 9230 survival points."

"I'm only 770 survival points away from the next ten-pull."

Zeng Shen was so happy he couldn't stop smiling, after all, two hours of work had earned him more survival points than he had in the previous two or three days.

really.

My judgment was correct; the fastest way to gain survival points is to find intelligent races and turn them into my followers.

Subsequently.

Zeng Shen glanced around to make sure no one was there, then quickly summoned the Gate of the Divine Realm and located it in Emerald Valley.

In an instant, a divine gate, more than two meters high and three meters wide, appeared before him.

Zeng Shen's consciousness slightly focused. Following his will, he compressed the divine gate that appeared in front of him to only the size of a palm. Then he said to Hei Zai, "Let the queen ant lead all the ants whose bodies were glowing just now to walk into this circle of light."

Upon receiving the order, Blackie quickly relayed its master's message to the queen ant.

Upon receiving the command, the queen ant twitched her antennae slightly.

Suddenly, several of the ants that had been glowing began to move the queen's body, leading more than five hundred strong ants in a long, majestic black dragon as they walked toward the gate to the divine realm.

[Warning! The host's followers possess no divine energy. Upon entering the divine realm, they will experience a rapid aging and decay, with each second feeling like ten years.]

The moment the queen ant was carried into Emerald Valley, Zeng Shen heard a familiar warning voice, but soon a reassuring voice followed.

[Divine Realm Special Feature, Divine Blessing Triggered: The host's followers receive a small amount of divine energy as protection, allowing them to live safely and normally within the Divine Realm.]

"Phew, thank goodness we have divine protection, which allows us to bring the believers into the divine realm ahead of time."

Zeng Shen let out a soft breath and turned to Hei Zai, saying, "When it's time for me to fulfill my promise, go and pick out a few female ants that you like, whose bodies didn't glow just now, and bring them to me."

Upon receiving Zeng Shen's signal, Hei Zai turned and ran deep into the ant nest.

Soon.

Seven ants with ant wings on their backs, resembling miniature queen ants, and three of them carrying three small, winged ant eggs on their backs, slowly crawled out of the tunnel.

"Hey, young man, you've got some tricks up your sleeve, not even letting go of those tiny ones." Zeng Shen teased, then said, "Alright, you've liked these queen ant candidates for a long time, haven't you? Fine, I'll grant your wish and arrange some for you."

Immediately, Zeng Shen used his Beast Taming Technique on the ten winged candidate queen ants, taming them one by one.

Followed by.

He then issued orders to these candidate queen ants.

"From now on, you will all belong to Blackie. You will do whatever it tells you to do, including procreation."

The order was given, and Zeng Shen selected ten female ants that looked relatively strong and turned them into tamed animals.

Immediately afterwards, he had the ten female ants serve as Blackie's personal maids, and then gestured for Blackie to lead his woman and the ten female ants into the gate to the divine realm.

The goal is for Blackie to quickly build a rapid ant-beast army in the future, away from the queen ant.

As for Blackie No. 2 and Blackie No. 3.

After thinking for a moment, Zeng Shen decided to make them the guards of the Queen Ant of the Mighty Tribe, responsible for relaying his orders at any time.

After all the busy arrangements were completed.

I waited for about fifteen minutes.

After Zeng Shen made sure that not a single intelligent, super-strong ant had been missed, he took out a bag of cat food and poured it around the queen ant and the Blackie tribe, which had made their home fifty meters away from the queen ant.

After that, Zeng Shen closed the gate to the divine realm, turned around and went to a nearby vending machine, bought a five-liter bucket of frozen Master Kong instant noodles, and poured it into the earthen mound nest.

In an instant, the ant nest collapsed, revealing the swarming ants and their eggs.

Zeng Shen stepped down.

[The host, fearless and resolute, fought a desperate battle against the swift ant beasts, slaying a large number of them and gaining 5770 survival points.]

Hearing the system notification, Zeng Shen lifted his foot, which was covered in corpses, and stepped on the ant pile that had been washed to the side by the water.

However, no system notification sounded this time.

Zeng Shen turned around and left.

He knew that the remaining ant colonies were probably those that hadn't survived the three years of the apocalypse and had been identified by the system as living mutant beasts. He figured that if he went to step on the remaining ant colonies that had been washed away by the water, he probably wouldn't get any production points.

And after he left.

The surviving ant colonies, without a queen, quietly reorganized into new, different colonies, producing new queens. And a year later, under the influence of divine power, new intelligent races and new strange beasts will be conceived here once again.

Of course, these are all things that happened later, and Zeng Shen was unaware of them.

At that moment, he was walking towards the gate of the botanical garden when he opened WeChat and wanted to send a message to Li Yuqing and Liu Tongtong to ask if they had chosen their Hanfu yet.

It turned out that half an hour earlier, just before midnight, Liu Miao had sent him a message.

"What are you doing? Are you free the day after tomorrow morning?"

"What's wrong?" Zeng Shen replied.

Liu Miao quickly replied with a voice message, "The day after tomorrow morning, I need you to bring that risk agreement and come with me to the bank to apply for a loan. I need you to be there to sign your name."

"Okay, send me the address, and I'll come over."

"Okay, thank you."

Liu Miao sent a voice message with an address attached.

Zeng Shen glanced at it and saw that it was the headquarters of the largest bank in the city, the China Merchants Bank, located near the Jinhai Wharf.

"It seems like that area hasn't been triggered for the first time yet. I'll go check it out tomorrow."

Zeng Shen muttered something to himself and then sent a video to Li Yuqing.

He was instantly killed.

Zeng Shen was stunned for a moment, but Li Yuqing quickly sent a voice message.

"Honey, what's wrong? Tongtong and I are in the dressing room changing into Hanfu."

"Honey, it's 12:30 now. What should we have for lunch?"

"Honey, we haven't decided yet. There are several traditional Chinese clothing stores, and we'll have to go to one later. Also, we don't really want to eat lunch because we ate some snacks while Tongtong and I were choosing Hanfu, and we're a little full now."

Zeng Shen replied, "Alright, you guys keep choosing. I'll go grab something to eat. I'll go to the Li Huo Martial Arts Academy later, and then I'll pick you up downstairs at the studio tonight so we can go out for dinner together."

"Go on, honey, wait a minute, what color bellyband do you like?"

"Huh?" Zeng Shen was taken aback and then realized that the voice message had been retracted. Immediately afterward, a new voice message was sent.

"Mum, go, honey."

Zeng Shen smiled faintly.
