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

The piercing alarm sounded like a sharp blade, shattering the tranquility of Longshen New City.

Upon hearing the alarm, Zeng Shen's gaze was instantly drawn to the holographic screen in Longshen New City Plaza.

On the screen, the images rapidly switched, clearly showing the terrifying scene outside the western city wall.

A dense swarm of lost souls surged toward the city gate like a raging black tide.

Their bodies were already twisted and deformed, some even growing extra arms out of nowhere, like evil monsters; some had skin that had hardened like keratin, shimmering with an eerie luster.

They let out beast-like roars, sounds that seemed to come from hell and sent chills down one's spine.

Where is Bai Qi?

Zeng Shen frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"Minister Bai has already led the security team to the west side of the city wall," Xiao Ai's clear voice rang out.

Simultaneously.

The images on the plaza screens immediately changed.

On the screen, Bai Qi was dressed in a sharp black combat uniform, looking heroic and dashing.

He stood steadily atop the towering city wall, holding a long iron spear that gleamed with a cold light.

In an instant.

A dazzling golden light burst forth from his body, as if a golden sun were rising slowly on the city wall.

In the light, countless phantom images of weapons appeared behind him, like a vast army, with an imposing aura.

"All Awakened Ones, listen to my command! Ranged units, fire from the city walls! Melee units, follow me out of the city to meet the enemy!" Bai Qi's voice, booming and powerful, filled with fighting spirit, resounded throughout the entire western defensive line through the loudspeaker.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Bai Qi took the lead, leaping off the city wall dozens of meters high like a black lightning bolt.

next second.

His iron spear, whistling sharply through the air, pierced fiercely into the leading mutated Lost One. The spear instantly pierced its body, and the Lost One let out a scream before collapsing to the ground with a thud.

"War God Domain, activate!"

Bai Qi shouted, and his innate War God Domain bloomed like a giant golden lotus flower, instantly spreading out within a radius of 100 meters.

Within the area, the attack and defense of all friendly units increased by 50% like a rocket, while the speed and strength of the Lost Ones were severely suppressed by 30%.

The security team members followed closely behind Bai Qi, like a group of brave warriors, rushing out of the city gate and engaging in a thrilling battle with the lost.

The fire deity stood on the city wall, spewing forth raging flames that roared towards the lost ones like fierce fire dragons.

The lost ones struggled in agony in the flames, instantly reduced to ashes, the air thick with the acrid smell of burning.

The earth deity swung his hands forcefully, and a massive stone wall rose from the ground, forming a sturdy fortress that blocked the mad charge of the lost.

The lost ones slammed against the stone wall with dull thuds, but they could not break through the defense.

The healing deities continuously released healing light from behind, the light like warm sunlight shining on their injured companions.

In an instant, the wounds healed rapidly, and the pain lessened, allowing him to throw himself into the battle with even greater fighting spirit.

In the ocean of the lost, Bai Qi was like a war god descended to earth. His spear moved with impenetrable force, each swing carrying immense power and lightning speed.

Wherever his spear struck, the lost fell to the ground, blood splattering everywhere.

His second War God passive talent, "The More You Fight, the Stronger You Get," was also fully triggered during the intense battle.

As the battle continued, his attacks became stronger and stronger, and his eyes became even sharper.

to the end.

He could blast a massive, mutated bear to pieces with a single shot, a truly awe-inspiring sight.

The battle lasted for two full hours, and all 50,000 lost souls were eventually annihilated.

The security team of Longshen New City suffered only about a hundred injuries, most of which were minor. However, this battle made them fully realize the powerful transformation they had undergone since the arrival of the Age of Gods.

sunset.

The golden afterglow shone on the city walls of Longshen New City, as if draping the city in a golden veil.

Zeng Shen led Li Yuqing and the others to the city wall. Bai Qi was standing on the city wall, looking at the team members clearing the battlefield below, with a tired but satisfied smile on his face.

Zeng Shen walked up to Bai Qi, patted him on the shoulder, and said with his eyes full of praise: "Bai Qi, you did a great job this time! In such a fierce battle, you not only successfully repelled the Lost Ones, but also minimized casualties. You have shown extraordinary courage and fighting power. I will be very happy and at ease to have you protecting Long Shen New City."

Bai Qi straightened his back and said firmly, "Brother Shen, this is our duty. As long as I, Bai Qi, am here, I will not allow any lost soul to set foot in Longshen New City!"

Zeng Shen nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Next, everyone, get some rest. We will equip you with more suitable melee weapons later, giving you an advantage in battle."

"Understood, Brother Shen," Bai Qi replied loudly.

Following behind Zeng Shen, Li Yuqing looked at the exhausted security team members, slowly walked forward, gently raised her hands, and a soft, healing light emanated from them.

The light, like a warm spring breeze, gently caressed the bodies of each injured team member. Everyone present felt a warm current flow into their bodies, instantly alleviating their pain, and wounds that would normally take time to heal were instantly cured.

Seeing how powerful Li Yuqing's healing was, Bai Qi couldn't help but say, "Sister-in-law's healing skills are really strong. The wounds left on those team members by a rare cursed Lost Aspect skill have been completely healed and cleared."

Li Yuqing smiled and said, "It's nothing. If you have any wounds that you can't heal in the future, you can come to me for help."

"Haha, got it, sister-in-law."

Bai Qi grinned.

Zeng Shen also laughed and said, "Haha, alright, I'll leave Bai Qi here to you. Feel free to contact me via WeChat if you need anything."

"Yes."

after that.

Zeng Shen chatted with Li Yuqing and the other two girls with Bai Qi for a while before heading to Jinlong Community to check what kind of gods their parents had become.

After returning to Jinlong Community, Liu Miao eagerly went to the house where her grandfather lived.

After all, Zeng Shen had told her that as long as her divinity was restored, her grandfather would be able to wake up.

When Zeng Shen arrived at his doorstep, before he could even open the door, Zeng Youcai opened it first, his face beaming with excitement, and said, "Shen, your old man has become a god too! And I've awakened a rare divine system, the Necromancer system, and my divine domain space is S-rank."

"Haha, I never expected that a necromancer would appear in our family, and it would be you, Dad!" Zeng Shen laughed loudly, then walked in and looked at Wu Xian'e, who had just come out of the kitchen, and asked, "Mom, where are you?" (End of this chapter)
