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

Chapter 4 I already paid, okay?

"4150 survival points, one step closer to 10,000 points."

Zeng Shen closed the attribute panel, left the abandoned hospital, and walked towards the back gate of the park, preparing to return to his small apartment.

There are several quiet, secluded alleyways leading home.

Normally, Zeng Shen would avoid crowded places and walk through these alleyways.

But this time.

He planned to walk towards a more crowded area.

Firstly, we need to explore the mechanism for obtaining survival points.

Secondly, the information provided by the system allows us to gain some understanding of the post-disaster world.

evening.

The setting sun shines on the park square, where a group of middle-aged women are happily dancing.

[Warning! You are about to approach a group of enslaved humans who have been stripped of their divinity and turned into cheap labor for a certain deity. Your presence may provoke the hostility of this third-tier fire-elemental deity, and you may even end up as a slave, stripped of your divinity, and reduced to an ordinary human.]

Watching the group of middle-aged women dancing enthusiastically in the square, Zeng Shen silently walked past them.

[The host proceeded cautiously and bravely, without arousing the hostility of the fire-type deities in the square. Survival points +1000]

After leaving the park and passing through an empty alley, Zeng Shen arrived at a commercial street.

Instantly, a frantic and urgent warning sounded in my mind, and the panels in front of me, displaying bright red warning text, vibrated incessantly.

[Warning! Warning! You are about to enter an abandoned and dangerous commercial street inhabited by a group of terrifying and ferocious beasts. Some corrupt and dangerous gods, with their enslaved subjects, are hunting here. Please leave as soon as possible.]

Ignore the virtual panel that is currently oscillating.

Zeng Shen strolled leisurely along the commercial street, buying some dog and cat food, cat litter, cat bowls, cat houses, and dog kennels, as well as some fruit and daily necessities, before leaving the commercial street.

[The host, with unparalleled audacity, brazenly plundered resources from other deities on a perilous commercial street, emerging unscathed. Survival points +1000.]

"."

I already paid, okay?

[Warning! This sidewalk is infested with strange beasts, and other deities are also roaming this area. Please leave as soon as possible.]

Sidewalk, intersection.

When Zeng Shen saw the traffic light turn green, he silently carried the cat and dog across.

[The host calmly crossed the sidewalk occupied by the strange beasts without disturbing the other powerful deities residing there. Survival points +1000.]

Good Luck Community.

[Warning! Warning! This apartment building is extremely dangerous. It is occupied by a third-tier curse deity and his retinue. The current host and his followers are no match for him. Please lead your retinue and mounts away from here as soon as possible to avoid being cursed, enslaved, or captured.]

Apartment 902, on the ninth floor of the top floor of the apartment building.

Zeng Shen stared blankly at the pulsating virtual panel in front of him, reached out and opened the door, stepping into his small apartment.

The small apartment has one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen, and one bathroom.

The lighting is good.

As soon as he got back to the apartment, Zeng Shen grabbed the little black cat and the little white dog, threw them into the bathtub, squeezed out some foam, and then proceeded to give them a thorough cleaning.

The cat and dog, who had never been in water before, were terrified and cried out, struggling in the water.

However, Zeng Shen did not stop. After washing, he used a hairdryer to blow-dry the clothes vigorously.

Soon.

These two have completely changed.

The little black cat has big, bright, emerald-like eyes that seem to possess an extraordinary spirituality. Its back is covered in glossy black fur that feels exceptionally soft and smooth to the touch.

As for the little white Chow Chow, it truly lives up to its reputation as the Lion King of the dog world. With a beautiful, flowing white mane around its neck, it looks majestic, and its large, dark almond-shaped eyes are deep and full of spirit. "I don't know how such a fine breed of dog became a stray at such a young age."

Zeng Shen muttered to himself, picked up the newly refurbished cat and dog, walked out of the bathroom, placed them on the sofa, and said to them:

"Little Black, Little White, this is your home from now on. We are a family now."

Xiao Hei was the name Zeng Shen gave to the black cat, while Xiao Bai was the name he gave to the Chow Chow puppy.

As if they could understand Zeng Shen's words, the black cat and the white dog responded one after another.

"Aim~"

"Wang~"

"Haha, you two play on the sofa for a while, I'll make you a little nest."

As Zeng Shen spoke, he took out two wooden plank houses that needed to be assembled from the compartment of his backpack.

Then they started assembling them, and finally placed the assembled cat house and dog house next to the sofa.

"Alright, from now on, you two will sleep here."

Zeng Shen pointed to the two huts and then turned to the cat and dog on the sofa.

"Meow~" "Woof~"

"Cuckoo."

After a flurry of activity, Zeng Shen got hungry. He quickly prepared a meal, then sat down in front of his laptop, opened the system log, and meticulously analyzed the text to form a summary and speculation about the aftermath of the future catastrophe.

1. At the start of the cataclysm, humans and other creatures will have different starting points. Humans will become divine beings, and in the future, through faith, they can become gods. Other creatures will either become strange beasts or awaken their wisdom, becoming highly sought-after intelligent races.

2. Humans can plunder the divine energy within intelligent races, beasts, and even themselves to strengthen themselves. They can also enslave and control others to do anything for them, such as engaging in production, labor, or even procreation. Conversely, intelligent races and beasts can also plunder the divine energy of humans and may even enslave them.

3. To become a powerful deity, you need followers with strong potential, pets, and resources.

4. To unlock the Divine Realm, a minimum of one million Faith is required.
As Zeng Shen pondered, he wrote down his conjectures about the post-disaster situation in a document.

Besides.

I've also summarized my experience on how to farm survival points.

Currently, obtaining a family or pet grants the most survival points, but it's clear that these are one-time points.

They could gain the favor of powerful beasts, their kin, or even their deities, or escape their encirclement safely.

These can seemingly be repeatedly obtained, thus continuously earning survival points.
As for whether it's as I guessed.

Zeng Shen plans to try it tomorrow morning.

After all, the lottery wheel can only be activated after you have 10,000 survival points.

Then one can use survival points to extract the resources needed to cultivate believers, and when the era of universal deities arrives in the future, one will be a step ahead of others.

After setting his goals for tomorrow, Zeng Shen renamed the document "Novel Setting Collection," closed his laptop, stretched, and wearily lay down on the bed to rest.

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly.

On April 2nd, 2119, your followers contributed 20 points of faith to you.

Zeng Shen glanced at the system log, then carried Black in his left arm and Little White in his right, and walked out of the apartment.

next second.

A system voice rang in his mind.

[The host, skilled and daring, managed to rest peacefully for the night in the apartment building occupied by a powerful curse-type deity and its retinue. Survival points +1000.]
