All Gods: Starting with Two Families

Chapter 1 All People’s GodsIn the Calamity Abyss, billions of cards of various shapes and obscure energy fluctuations converged into a sea of Chaos.

Zhou Zheng’s Divine Thought traveled rapidly through the surging torrent of calamity cards.

In this world where everyone is a god, every deity possesses their own exclusive Divine Realm.

And calamity cards are unavoidable trials and opportunities on the path of development for the gods.

They are like dice thrown by fate, containing unknown destruction or bountiful rewards.

The vast majority of gods can only gamble their lives based on the subtle energy ripples of the cards and ethereal intuition.

If they win the gamble, they obtain precious Proofs to exchange for resources in the World Shop; if they lose, their Divine Realm’s Foundation is damaged, and they might even perish.

But Zhou Zheng was different.

At the core of his Divine Thought, a cold but incredibly clear glimmer that only he could perceive flowed quietly.

All-Knowing Eye!

This talent allowed him to penetrate the chaotic mist shrouding the calamity cards.

Countless dusty, unremarkable cards shed their disguises in his vision.

F-rank gray, D-rank white, C-rank green, B-rank blue, A-rank purple... they flickered in his consciousness like distorted neon lights.

The effect of the All-Knowing Eye could only last for 1 minute.

Every day for 10 years, Zhou Zheng would come to the Calamity Abyss to start this little treasure hunt game.

In this torrent, gray and white cards made up the vast majority, green was already considered rare, blue appeared only occasionally, and purple was nowhere to be seen.

Each time a calamity is endured, the Divine Realm suffers damage from chaotic energy and requires time to repair.

Naturally, there is a limit to the number of times one can endure a calamity! Every opportunity to use a calamity card is precious!

He was unwilling to settle for those low-rarity calamities.

Most of the time, he gained nothing.

But Zhou Zheng had a premonition that today would be his lucky day!

Zhou Zheng filtered through them patiently, passing over one low-value card after another.

His goal was clear: to find those calamities that were countered by the environment, had controllable risks, but offered extremely high rewards!

Only in this way could his desert Divine Realm—situated at the bottom of the Orc God System with an initial follower race of only weak Snakemen—find a slim chance of survival amidst the cutthroat competition of the Orc God System.

Suddenly, his Divine Thought jerked to a halt!

A card!

It was curled up in an inconspicuous corner of the torrent, its body dark and its energy fluctuations so weak they were almost imperceptible.

In the surging torrent of cards, it was like a grain of dust about to be submerged.

But in the vision of Zhou Zheng’s All-Knowing Eye, this card emitted a dazzling golden halo!

S-rank!

Zhou Zheng’s Divine Thought locked onto this card, and its contents surfaced as clearly as a brand:

[S-rank · Deep Sea Demon Octopus · Kraken Larva] (Note: Extremely weakened in dehydrated environments.)

Dehydrated environment! Extremely weakened!

His Divine Thought swept over the pitiful oasis in his Divine Realm, less than one square kilometer in size, and the boundless, scorching golden sea of sand surrounding it that could soften raw iron.

An indescribable surge of excitement and certainty instantly seized him. His Divine Realm was the most lethal nemesis of this deep-sea behemoth!

”This is the one!”

His Divine Thought moved like lightning, and Zhou Zheng confirmed his choice without a moment’s hesitation! Once a calamity card is chosen, it immediately descends upon the Divine Realm and cannot be stockpiled.

The moment the selection was complete, the sky above the Divine Realm felt as if it had been struck hard by an invisible giant hammer!

Accompanied by a terrifying roar that shook the very Soul of the Divine Realm, space was violently torn open, creating a massive rift that spanned the horizon!

It wasn’t darkness, but a churning, boundless, and suffocating ink-blue!
