All Gods: Starting with Two Families

Chapter 60 Spatial PassageMost of the deities present were uninterested in the rewards offered by the Merman Deity. Having been stationed on this Plane for many years, they had already obtained many Giant Mermen.

Because Zhou Zheng was tasked with an investigation for the Orc God System, he had to participate, but he still put on a cooperative look of hesitation and deliberation.

Seeing this, the Merman Deity bit his lip and increased the stakes again: ”I also have a few Racial Wonders for mermen here that can significantly enhance the sense of identity and belonging of merman followers toward their deity!”

Zhou Zheng was quite surprised. He had never even seen such wonders that directly acted on the level of a follower’s faith in the Plane Shop; they were definitely rare treasures that could be sought but not easily found!

Under the temptation of the wonders, five deities, including the Merman Deity himself and Zhou Zheng, decided to participate in this operation. The Merman Deity also straightforwardly paid the reward upfront.

The wonder Zhou Zheng received was a massive fish skeleton.

According to the Merman Deity’s introduction, if the fish skeleton is placed within the Divine Realm, when a merman’s lifespan is nearing its end, they will return to the fish skeleton to quietly await the arrival of Death.

Under the guidance of the Merman Deity, the divine thought projections of the gods penetrated the barrier of the Sub-space and reached its deepest part.

There, they discovered a small, constantly rotating Sea Eye.

Within the Sea Eye, strange milky-white halos were actually being pulsed out. These halos were barely trapped by a crude Formation, forming materialized balls of light that continuously radiated outward.

”This should be an extremely unstable miniature Spatial Tunnel,” the Merman Deity introduced with a solemn expression. ”Energy from another unknown Plane is continuously leaking out from it, polluting and affecting this sea area.”

He sighed helplessly: ”Unfortunately, we are only Reserve Deities and simply don’t have the ability to completely block or Seal such a Spatial Tunnel. We can only use this Formation to barely control the speed of the leakage for now.”

Furthermore, he privately speculated that the intelligence and special talents of the Giant Merman race, which exceeded those of ordinary mermen, likely originated from the long-term nourishment of this Sea Eye!

If it were truly blocked off completely, the race might slowly degenerate back into ordinary mermen.

Since it couldn’t be blocked, they could only take the risk to go over and take a look. Perhaps there were resources hidden on the other side, or the key to solving the problem.

The several deities joined forces, and majestic Divine Power surged out, temporarily ”fixing” the violently fluctuating tunnel entrance and making it briefly stable enough for divine thought projections to pass through.

”Now’s the time!” the Merman Deity shouted.

Five divine thought projection Clones of various colors turned into streaks of light and plunged into the milky-white halo tunnel without hesitation.

After the dizziness of the transition passed, Zhou Zheng found himself in an unfamiliar ocean.

This Plane was not large, with an area roughly equivalent to the initial Divine Realm of a Reserve Deity.

The seawater was clear, yet it held an ancient stillness. Looking around, many strangely shaped giant Monstrous Fish were swimming in the water.

These Monstrous Fish had hideous appearances, covered in bony plates or hard scales, with protruding snouts and sharp teeth. Their eyes were cloudy and savage, bearing a seventy to eighty percent resemblance to the ”atavistic” form of the Giant Mermen.

The Monstrous Fish noticed these intruders but only gave them a cold glance before ignoring them and continuing their aimless wandering.

The Merman Deity’s previous scouting experience was correct—these Monstrous Fish didn’t seem to actively attack mermen, but they were full of aggression toward the followers of other races.

They possessed immense strength and could manipulate water currents to form whirlpools or water arrows, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

The various deities each displayed their Divine Abilities, and according to common Plane exploration rules, each summoned about a thousand merman followers. This was the limit that the small Plane could withstand.

The followers began to search carefully throughout this small Plane.

Zhou Zheng’s All-Knowing Eye was still on cooldown. Since the current situation was not yet desperately critical, he naturally wouldn’t force its use.

After searching for a round, no one made any special discoveries.

In the end, the gazes of all the deities focused simultaneously on a gargantuan creature at the very center of the Plane.
