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

After gaining a clear understanding of the changes in his divine realm, Zeng Shen went directly through the gate of the divine realm back to Shenhuo Manor on Blue Star.

At this moment, Earth is only 18 days away from a global divine revival.

The atmosphere across the entire planet Earth has become incredibly tense.

Divine tides are occurring more and more frequently around the world, and bizarre beast mutations are happening every day. Even with legions of superhumans quelling the chaos, the panic in the hearts of the people remains unabated.

Countries around the world are frantically building shelters, stockpiling supplies, and gathering troops, all making final preparations for the impending divine resurgence.

As for Great Xia, the country that is best prepared in the world, it has now entered a state of full war preparedness.

Zeng Shenggang had just returned to the manor and hadn't even had a chance to say a few words to Li Yuqing and the other two women when his phone rang.

The caller ID showed it was Mr. Qin.

Zeng Shen pressed the answer button, and Qin Lao's calm yet slightly anxious voice immediately came from the other end of the line: "Xiao Shen, during the time you were gone, the global situation has changed too rapidly, and there have been biological mutations in various places..."

Zeng Shen interrupted, "Elder Qin, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing much. With the super-god squad you left behind, the mutations of alien beasts in various places have been brought under control, and the shelters have all been completed." Old Qin paused, then continued, "It's just that the higher-ups want to meet with you, hold a high-level meeting, and discuss the global strategy after the divine resurgence, as well as plans to deal with extraterrestrial invasions. Everyone wants to hear your opinion, after all, no one on the entire Blue Star understands the world of gods better than you, and no one has more power than you."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Shen thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement: "Okay, no problem. Where and when will the meeting be held?"

"It'll be at the Jinhai Municipal Government Conference Center, and the time is set for 9:00 AM tomorrow. Is that alright with you?" Old Qin said immediately, his tone full of joy.

"Okay, I'll be there at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Alright! Then I won't disturb your rest any longer. Let's meet tomorrow and discuss it in detail!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Yuqing nestled into Zeng Shen's arms and whispered, "Honey, we're going to Jinhai tomorrow. Do you want me to come with you?"

Zeng Shen smiled and ruffled her hair, saying, "No need, I can go by myself. You stay at the villa and help me manage Longshen New City. Call me immediately if anything happens."

"Okay." Li Yuqing nodded obediently.

Liu Miao and Liu Tongtong also gathered around, reminding him to be careful tomorrow. Zeng Shen smiled and agreed, embracing the three women and enjoying the last peace before the big battle.

At 8:30 a.m. the following morning, Zeng Shen arrived at the Jinhai Municipal Government Conference Center by aircraft.

The conference center was now completely sealed off by layers of security, with elite soldiers armed with live ammunition everywhere, and armed helicopters patrolling overhead. The security level was at its highest.

As soon as the aircraft stopped at the entrance of the conference center, Elder Qin, along with a group of high-ranking officials from Great Xia, quickly came to greet it.

Although Qin Lao's hair has turned even whiter, he is still in good spirits and stands ramrod straight. When he saw Zeng Shen get off the aircraft, he immediately strode forward and warmly shook Zeng Shen's hand: "Little Shen, you've finally arrived! We've been waiting for you for so long!"

The group of high-ranking officials following behind Qin Lao also stepped forward to greet Zeng Shen warmly, their eyes full of respect and gratitude.

They all knew very well that the Great Xia Dynasty's current stable situation, the completion of all the shelters before the arrival of the global divine tide, and the help of the super-god legion to quell the rebellion were all thanks to this young man in front of them.

It can be said that Zeng Shen was the pillar of stability for the Great Xia Dynasty.

Zeng Shen smiled and shook hands with everyone, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then, led by Elder Qin, entered the conference center.

The conference hall was already full of people.

The military's top generals, heads of various departments, and the heads of various provinces all gathered here, numbering over a hundred people. Upon seeing Zeng Shen walk in, everyone immediately stood up and applauded him, the applause thundering and lasting for a long time.

Zeng Shen nodded slightly to everyone, and then, accompanied by Elder Qin, walked to the head seat of the conference table and sat down.

Old Qin sat beside him. Once the applause subsided, he picked up the microphone and began in a deep voice, “Comrades, the core purpose of this meeting today is singular: to discuss countermeasures for the global divine resurgence in 18 days, and for potential extraterrestrial invasions. Today, we are fortunate to have Mr. Zeng Shen with us. He is the only true deity in the world, and his understanding of the divine world far surpasses that of all of us. Next, let’s ask Mr. Zeng Shen to tell us what changes will occur on Earth after the divine resurgence, and how we should respond.”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Zeng Shen, their eyes filled with anticipation and seriousness. They all picked up their pens, ready to record every word Zeng Shen said.

Zeng Shen picked up the microphone and, without any formalities, went straight to the point: "Everyone, at midnight 18 days from now, the global divine revival will officially begin. At that time, massive amounts of primordial divine energy will sweep across the entire planet, bringing three core issues."

"First, all living things on Earth, whether animals or plants, will undergo a frenzied mutation under the nourishment of primordial divinity. Ordinary animals will become powerful monstrous beasts, and ordinary plants will become demonic plants capable of devouring living beings. Moreover, the more concentrated the divinity, the stronger the mutated monstrous beasts will be. In the later stages, some places, even small worlds, will see terrifying monstrous beasts of the ninth rank or even the Saint Body level. At that time, the entire Blue Star will become a post-apocalyptic world overrun by monstrous beasts. This is the first problem you will face."

"Secondly, humanity worldwide will awaken its own divinity under the baptism of primal divinity, embarking on its own path to divine realm. Those with talent will quickly awaken their pantheon, solidify their divine realm, and become true gods. Those with less talent will gain physical enhancements and the ability to protect themselves. However, many will also lose their minds during the baptism of divinity, falling into darkness and becoming powerful destroyers. Moreover, conflicts and even wars will inevitably arise among humanity over resources, territory, and ideologies. This is the second challenge you will face."

"Third, the spatial barrier of Blue Star will become extremely fragile under the impact of massive amounts of primordial divinity. Those extraterrestrial deities near the Blue Star crystal wall universe will easily tear through the spatial barrier and descend upon Blue Star. They will treat Blue Star as a training ground and a colony, plundering its resources and enslaving its people. This is the most fatal and longest-lasting problem we will face in the future."

Zeng Shen's voice clearly resonated throughout the entire conference hall.

Everyone present turned extremely solemn.

Although they had long anticipated that the resurgence of divinity would bring a crisis, they did not expect the situation to be so severe.

The rampant spread of strange beasts, internal strife among humans, and invasion from beyond the borders—three great mountains instantly weighed on everyone's hearts.

Old Qin took a deep breath, looked at Zeng Shen, and asked in a deep voice, "Little Shen, in your opinion, how should we deal with these three major problems?"

Zeng Shen smiled slightly and continued, "The solution is actually very simple, just three points."

"First, gather the people together and hold the shelters. After the divine resurgence, all cities will fall, and only the shelters we have built in advance will be the safest home for mankind. We must form a complete defense system with large shelters as the core and medium and small shelters as nodes to protect the people and preserve the flame of humanity."

"Second, consolidate our forces and establish a unified combat system. After the resurgence of divinity, all humans who have awakened their divinity, all armies, and all legions of super-gods must be incorporated into a unified combat system, under unified command and deployment. Internally, we must eradicate mutated beasts and quell the chaos; externally, we must resist extraterrestrial invaders and never allow any extraterrestrial deity to enslave our compatriots on the land of Blue Star."

"Third, rapid growth and seizing the initiative. These three issues also represent three opportunities. The resurgence of divinity presents humanity on Blue Star with an unprecedented opportunity for evolution. We must seize this opportunity to quickly cultivate a core group of our own deities and a powerful group of followers. Only when our own strength is great can we truly seize the initiative. Therefore, we must not only defend Blue Star, but also take the initiative in the future, making all extraterrestrial deities who covet Blue Star pay a heavy price!"

Zeng Shen's voice was firm and resounding, carrying an undeniable power that instantly dispelled the heavy atmosphere in the conference hall, igniting a blazing fire in everyone's eyes.

Yes, crises also contain opportunities!

Others can become gods, and so can the sons of Great Xia!

With Zeng Shen leading the way and his support, what did they have to fear?
Old Qin slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and said loudly, "Xiao Shen is right! We must not only defend and stabilize Blue Star and plan a new system, but also fight our way out in the future! From today onwards, Great Xia will enter a full-scale wartime state. When divinity is revived, all of Great Xia's armies, all super-god legions, and all organizational departments will be incorporated into a unified combat system, with Mr. Zeng Shen serving as the supreme commander and possessing absolute command authority! Does anyone have any objections?"

"No objections! We will completely obey Mr. Zeng Shen's instructions!"

Everyone present stood up in unison, their voices unified and filled with unwavering determination.

They all knew very well that only by following Zeng Shen could Great Xia stand firm in the impending apocalypse, protect this land, and safeguard hundreds of millions of compatriots.

Looking at the group of determined-looking executives in front of him, Zeng Shen felt a surge of passion rise in his heart.

He stood up, nodded slightly to the crowd, and said in a firm and powerful voice, "Rest assured, everyone, as long as I, Zeng Shen, live, I will never allow any extraterrestrial deity to trample the mountains and rivers of Great Xia! I will never allow any alien beast to harm our compatriots!" (End of Chapter)
