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

Room 301, Building C, Jinlong Residential Complex.

Liu Miao stood at the bedroom door, watching the old man slowly open his eyes on the bed, and her eyes instantly reddened.

The old man on the bed was Liu Miao's grandfather, Liu Xiang. Although his hair was still white, his complexion was ruddy and his eyes were clear and sharp, showing no signs of the confusion one might expect from someone who has just awakened from a vegetative state.

"grandfather!"

Liu Miao rushed to the bedside, tightly grasped Liu Xiang's hand, and tears streamed down her face. "You're finally awake! I thought... I thought I'd never see you again!"

Liu Xiang gently patted Liu Miao's hand. He could feel how much effort and sweat his granddaughter had put into taking care of him over the years. The once lively and cheerful girl had become much more mature and composed, with a touch of resilience in her eyes.

Immediately, his eyes were filled with love and guilt as he said, "Miaomiao, I'm sorry, I've made you suffer."

"It's not hard. As long as Grandpa can wake up, anything I do is worth it." Liu Miao wiped away her tears.

Seeing his granddaughter about to cry, Liu Xiang immediately changed the subject, saying, "Where is this? Can you tell me what's happening outside? Why is there a voice in my head claiming to be the will of Blue Star, constantly telling me to obtain something, something about an SS-level divine domain? Miao Miao, what's going on? I feel like my body is full of power, and it seems... there are some strange things inside."

As he spoke, a thought flashed through his mind, and a soft white light shone from his palm. Wherever the light passed, the potted plants in the room that had been somewhat withered instantly regained their vitality and sprouted tender green buds.

"Grandpa, you've awakened the Light Pantheon! And you should have even obtained an SS-level divine domain!" Liu Miao said excitedly. "The whole world has changed now. At midnight today, global divinity revived, and all humans have the opportunity to awaken a pantheon and become a god, or a divine body enhancer. Grandpa, you not only awakened under the baptism of divinity, but you also awakened the rare Light Pantheon."

Immediately afterwards, Liu Miao told Liu Xiang everything that had happened in the world.

From meeting Zeng Shen a year ago, to Zeng Shen's early global planning, establishing the Long Shen Group, building Long Shen New City, creating global shelters, and subduing believers of various races, to the beast tide before the divine revival, and the first wave of divine baptism that just ended.

Liu Xiang listened quietly, his expression gradually changing from initial shock to solemnity, and finally to relief.

He never imagined that the world would change so drastically after he fell into a coma. Even more unexpected was that his granddaughter would meet such a capable and responsible man—but this bastard already had several girlfriends? And his granddaughter didn't seem to mind?
Suppressing a hint of displeasure, Liu Xiangqiang asked, "So, Zeng Shen is now the most powerful god in the world?"

"Ok!"

Liu Miao nodded vigorously, her face full of pride. "My husband is not only powerful, but also very farsighted. A year ago, he began preparing for the resurgence of divinity. Now we have the Legion of Super Gods, the Legion of Gods, and believers of various races. Most of the world's refuges are under our control. If it weren't for my husband, humanity would probably have been overwhelmed by the beast tide by now."

Seeing the admiration and love in his granddaughter's eyes when she mentioned Zeng Shen, Liu Xiang was slightly moved. He hadn't seen his granddaughter praise someone like that in a long time. Then he thought, times have changed.

Why should he worry about the young people's affairs? As long as his granddaughter is happy, that's all that matters.

Thinking about this...

He smiled and said, "Okay, okay. Since he's so capable here, I can rest assured that he'll take care of you."

After saying this, Prime Minister Liu was completely relieved.

After all, he had lived a long life, witnessed the coldness and warmth of human relationships, and seen many couples abandon each other in the face of disaster. Zeng Shen's unwavering care for Liu Miao during the apocalypse, protecting both of them, was more precious than anything else.

"By the way, Grandpa, what is your divine realm like? Zeng Shen said that the Light God system is a very rare divine system. It can not only heal injuries, but also purify darkness and curses. It is especially effective against evil beasts and lost souls." Liu Miao asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiang, following the instructions given by the will of Blue Star, opened his own divine domain gate with a thought.

Instantly, a holy white light emanated from his body, and the next second, a divine gate filled with the aura of light appeared before the two of them.

Liu Miao and Liu Xiang looked into the gate of the divine realm and saw a pure white grassland of light. In the center of the grassland stood a tall temple of light, and at the top of the temple, a huge sphere of light emitted a soft glow, illuminating the entire divine realm.

“My divine realm comes with a small wonder called the ‘Altar of Light.’ According to the description, it seems to be an altar that can purify all darkness and evil and accelerate the transformation of believers’ faith power,” Liu Xiang said. “However, there are no believers in the divine realm yet, only some offspring of light elemental creatures.”

“It’s alright, Grandpa. In a couple of days, I’ll go with you to the wild to recruit some followers. There are many plants and animals that have just become intelligent beings in the wild. Brother Shen said that these intelligent beings are the easiest to recruit and convert into followers right now.”

Liu Miao paused slightly as she spoke, then added, "Oh, right, Grandpa, I also have a Light-type Familia Card here, which my husband gave me before."

As she spoke, Liu Miao took out a card from her backpack and handed it to Liu Xiang.

Liu Xiang curiously took the card, examined it, and then handed it back to Liu Miao, saying, "This is the clan card that Ashen gave you. It's not appropriate to give it to Grandpa like this." "Grandpa, it's alright. This clan card doesn't match me," Liu Miao said.

On the other side, in Building D of Jinlong Residential Complex.

Liu Tongtong was excitedly sharing her three-elemental divine abilities with her parents.

"Dad, Mom, look!" Liu Tongtong snapped her fingers, flames, arcs of electricity, and whirlwinds dancing at her fingertips. "I've awakened a three-elemental divine system, and it's an SSS-level divine realm! If anyone dares to bully you from now on, I'll strike them down with lightning!"

Looking at the dancing elements in their daughter's hand, Mr. and Mrs. Liu's faces were full of pride and satisfaction.

"Good, good, my daughter has grown up and become capable." Liu's mother smiled and patted Liu Tongtong's head. "Your father and I have also awakened our divine abilities. I am the wood element and your father is the earth element. Although we are both A-level divine beings, we can protect ourselves now."

"That's good." Liu Tongtong breathed a sigh of relief. "In a couple of days, I'll take you outside Longshen New City to recruit some believers. With believers, your strength will improve even faster. Oh, and tonight I'll take you to see Zeng Shen and his parents. Sister Yuqing and Sister Liu Miao will be there too."

"Okay, we'll listen to you." Mr. and Mrs. Liu nodded with smiles.

As evening falls and the sun sets, the golden afterglow shines on the buildings of Jinlong Community, giving the entire community a warm golden hue.

The living room of Zeng Shen's house was bustling with activity.

Li Yuqing's parents, Liu Tongtong's parents, and Liu Miao with Liu Xiang had all arrived. The elders of the three families sat together, chatting about their respective spiritual systems and their plans for the future, in a very harmonious atmosphere.

Wu Xian'e busied herself in the kitchen, bringing out one delicious and visually appealing dish after another. There was braised beast meat to enhance strength, stir-fried spiritual vegetables to restore stamina, and mushroom soup to refresh the mind. Each dish exuded an enticing aroma and was surrounded by a faint divine glow.

"Wow, Auntie's cooking smells so good!" Liu Tongtong went to the dining table, took a deep breath, and couldn't help but say.

"Eat as much as you like," Wu Xian'e said with a smile. "Auntie will make you even more delicious food later."

Soon, all the dishes were served.

Zeng Youcai took out his treasured wine and poured a glass for everyone.

"Today is a good day," Zeng Youcai said with a smile, raising his glass. "First of all, welcome to our home, in-laws. Secondly, let's celebrate that we have all successfully awakened our divine powers, giving us the ability to protect ourselves in this apocalyptic world. Most importantly, thank you to Zeng Shen for creating such wonderful conditions for us and protecting us all. I propose a toast!"

"Alright! Cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses and clinked them together.

The crisp sound of glasses clinking echoed in the living room.

At the dinner table, everyone ate and chatted, and the atmosphere became increasingly lively.

The spiritual food made by Wu Xian'e was not only delicious, but also had remarkable effects.

After eating it, everyone felt that the divine energy in their bodies had become more abundant, and they also gained a deeper understanding of their own divine abilities.

"Fairy, your cooking skills are absolutely amazing!" Li Yuqing's father, Li Jianguo, gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "I've never eaten such delicious food in my entire life, and it even helps improve my strength. We're going to be very lucky from now on."

"Haha, come often if you like it." Wu Xian'e smiled from ear to ear. "From now on, we're all family, so don't be shy."

Liu Xiang put down his chopsticks, looked at Zeng Shen, his eyes full of praise: "Zeng Shen, I heard from Miao Miao that we owe a lot to you this past year. If it weren't for you, we probably wouldn't have survived to this day of divine revival. I toast you, thank you for taking care of Miao Miao, and thank you for everything you've done for humanity."

"Grandpa Liu, you're too kind." Zeng Shen quickly raised his glass and clinked it with Liu Xiang's. "Taking care of Miaomiao is my duty, and protecting everyone is also what I should do. Let's work together in the future, and we'll definitely be able to live well in this new era, and live better and better."

"Well said!"

Liu Xiang downed his drink in one gulp and laughed heartily, “Although I’ve been in a coma for three years, my old bones are still quite strong. If there’s anything Long Shen New City needs me to do in the future, just let me know. It seems that my Light Divine System is still somewhat useful in dealing with those demons and monsters.”

"Then I'll have to trouble Grandpa Liu," Zeng Shen said with a smile. (End of Chapter)
