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

Seven days later, Zeng Shen led everyone to the edge of the Soul-Silent Swamp.

At this moment, the Soul-Silent Swamp is a scene of deathly stillness. All the plants have withered and died, and the wandering souls that once roamed around have vanished without a trace.

The water in the swamp had long since dried up, revealing cracked earth. As far as the eye could see, it was a desolate landscape, and even showed signs of desertification.

“Master,” Wu Nisha folded her black wings, gently landed on the dragon's back, and stood beside Zeng Shen, saying, “According to Leona, this small world can only last for about a week at most. Moreover, there are no more Soul-Guiding Grasses in this Soul-Silent Swamp that you want to collect. Let’s go back.”

“Alright, let’s go back.” Zeng Shen nodded, then took out the Nine Palaces Illusionary Cage Tower and said, “You all come into the tower first.”

The voice just fell.

The Nine Palaces Illusionary Cage Tower in his hand rapidly expanded, instantly generating a powerful suction force that pulled the Darkwing Bat Dragon swarm led by Long Yi, along with Wu Nisha, Ye Li, You Ying, the Dark Devourer, and all the Winged Maidens, into the tower all at once.

after that.

Zeng Shen's consciousness slightly condensed, and he opened the divine gate located at the entrance of the Spirit Gathering Cave, slowly stepping into it.

As the salty sea breeze swept in, Zeng Shen calmly appeared at the entrance of the Gathering Spirit Cave.

at the same time.

A series of crisp system notification sounds suddenly rang in his ears.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully explored the entire Holy Light Minor World and won the devout faith of the entire Winged Maiden Clan. During this adventure, you hunted and killed 4,700 strange beasts, successfully tamed 550, obtained the wonder [Saint Maiden Pool], and acquired the remains of the God of the Holy Light Minor World. This exploration is rated SS, rewarding you with +1000 God-Rank Experience and the environment card [Blazing Lake]]

[Congratulations, host! In recognition of your outstanding performance in exploring this small world, the believers and pets who participated in this adventure in the Holy Light Small World will each receive between 500 and 800 Divine Rank Experience, depending on their individual performance.]

"Holy crap, I even got my hands on the remains of the God of the Minor World, how come I only got a double S rating? Not 3 S? And all I got was 1000 God-rank experience points? And just one environment card as a reward?"

Zeng Shen listened to the system notifications ringing in his ears, his heart filled with dissatisfaction.

He originally thought that his adventure in the Holy Light Small World would be very fruitful and that he would receive even greater rewards.

To his surprise, things turned out very differently from what he expected, which made him secretly complain.

But soon.

Zeng Shen felt a surge of relief.

Fortunately, this time it was only a double S rating. If they had given me another 500 points of God-tier experience, it would have been a huge problem.

Because once his god-level experience reaches the upper limit of the first-level god-level experience, he will break through to the second level.

At that point, he would miss the golden opportunity to raise his God-rank experience cap to the legendary god system's five thousand points limit when he was at the first tier.

"Fortunately, I'm still 500 points away from reaching the critical point of God-level experience."

Zeng Shen breathed a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced.

He made a decisive decision: before the upper limit of the God Rank is raised to 5,000 points, he will never open a small world again.

Just then, Yin Libai led the Hidden Spirit Clan members out of the cave and respectfully bowed to Zeng Shen, saying, "Master, you're back from the small world." "Yes, I brought a new neighbor with me this time. You'll have to take good care of them from now on, and teach them how to use a mobile phone while you're at it," Zeng Shen replied with a smile.

“Yes, Master. The Spirit Gathering Cave is very spacious and can accommodate as many creatures as you want.” Yin Libai replied quickly.

"Hehe, we'll decide on the accommodations later." Zeng Shen said, then reached out and took out the Nine Palaces Illusionary Cage Tower.

In an instant, the Nine Palaces Illusionary Cage Tower shone brightly, and a group of dark-winged bat dragons led by Dragon Wing roared out of the tower, circling and dancing in the air.

Followed by.

Wu Nisha, Youying, Ye Li, and twenty Dark Devourers also flew out of the tower and landed neatly in front of Zeng Shen.

When Yin Libai saw these twenty Dark Devourers, she thought they were the new neighbors Zeng Shen had mentioned, the ones she would need to take good care of in the future.

However, just as she had this thought, graceful figures flew out of the Nine Palaces Illusionary Cage Tower.

Yin Libai looked closely and saw Aisera leading the Winged Maidens, landing gracefully in front of Zeng Shen. Only then did she realize that these were the new neighbors her master had mentioned.

"Yin Libai, let me introduce you. This is Aisela, the priestess and chieftain of the Winged Women Clan. From now on, her clan will be living on this island with you." Zeng Shen introduced them with a smile.

"Greetings, Priestess Aisela. I am Yin Libai, the chieftain of the Hidden Spirit Clan. It is a great pleasure to become your clan's neighbor." Yin Libai greeted Aisela warmly, her face beaming with a sincere smile.

“Chief Yin Libai, we are also very pleased,” Aisera replied with a smile.

After the representatives of the two tribes greeted each other, Zeng Shen squinted and smiled at Aisera, saying, "Aisera, Yin Libai just said that the interior of the Spirit Gathering Cave is very spacious. Would your tribe like to stay inside?"

“Yes, Priestess Aisera, there are many caves of different sizes in the Spirit Gathering Cave. The largest can accommodate thousands of people, and the smallest is enough for one person to live in. Your clan can choose any one as their clan cave, or you can live scattered in various caves without any problem.” Yin Libai introduced with enthusiasm, her eyes revealing a hint of anticipation.

“This…” Aisera looked at the enthusiastic Yin Libai, hesitated slightly, and then slowly said, “Chief Yin Libai, our Winged Women tribe has always been accustomed to living in treehouses, so we plan to find a place to cultivate an area and plant trees suitable for building our tribe’s treehouses.”

"Oh, that's how it is……"

Upon hearing this, Yin Libai couldn't help but sigh softly, feeling a slight pity.

After all, the Spirit Gathering Cave is so spacious, and it has always been inhabited only by the Hidden Spirit Clan, which often makes the clansmen feel unusually lonely.

Moreover, ever since the people learned to use mobile phones, they have become obsessed with learning about all sorts of novel things on Earth, spending less and less time walking around in the caves, and almost turning into what Earthlings call "homebodies".

If a new race were to move in, the cave would definitely become much more lively.

Just as Yin Libai was secretly regretting, Aisera suddenly spoke up again: "However, cultivating giant trees suitable for building treehouses and clearing a place suitable for our tribe to live in may take several years. During this time, our tribe will have to trouble you, sister, to stay in the Spirit Gathering Cave for a few years."

“Of course, no problem. You can stay as long as you want.” Yin Libai’s worries turned to joy, and she said happily, “There is a very large cave less than fifty meters away from the cave where our Hidden Spirit Clan lives. It can accommodate thousands of intelligent races. You can stay in that giant cave.”

“Okay, then I’ll have to trouble Sister Yinsha Bai to lead the way.” Aisera said with a smile, her eyes full of gratitude.

“No problem,” Yin Shabai readily agreed.
