All Gods: Starting with Two Families

Chapter 66 Bloodstained Arena”What?! Hasn’t the God War already ended?” Zhou Zheng’s divine thought projection fluctuated violently due to shock, the words almost blurting out.

A touch of sorrow appeared on the Sheep God’s face, and his massive horns seemed to dim slightly: ”Yes, the all-out war between Formal Deities has indeed ceased under the mediation of the Nature God System. However, the battles at the level of Reserve Deities... have not stopped!”

He slowly explained the reason: although the Necromancy God System and the Demon God System had accepted the ceasefire agreement, they had proposed an extremely harsh and malicious condition.

They demanded that the Orc God System recall all its scattered Reserve Deities and engage in a ’Bloody Arena’ against the Reserve Deities from their two factions!

”Bloody Arena...” Zhou Zheng’s heart sank abruptly.

He had heard of this method of dueling, which existed only in extreme rumors; it was the bloodiest, most cruel, and most despicable of all means to resolve disputes!

Usually, this Life-and-death approach was only taken when an unresolvable and indelible deep-seated hatred had been formed!

For the deities participating in the Bloody Arena, their Divine Domains would be forcibly torn open by a powerful contract Law and connected via a temporarily constructed spatial channel.

As for the deities themselves, their Divine Thought cores would be forced to materialize, condensing into a crystal that represents the Origin of their Life and power!

At the same time, the deity’s own power would be strictly limited by the rules of the arena, making them unable to directly intervene in the battle.

The followers of both sides would need to pass through the spatial channel connecting their Divine Domains, invade deep into the opponent’s Divine Domain, and find and destroy the crystal representing the opposing deity!

Once the crystal was destroyed, it meant... a successful God-Slaying!

What was even more terrifying was that through these cruel arena rules, the victor would be able to legally plunder everything from the loser—the Divine Domain they had managed for years, the Laws they had painstakingly comprehended... everything would become the victor’s spoils of war!

Just by understanding the rules, a thick, inescapable scent of blood seemed to waft towards him through the branded information, making Zhou Zheng’s Divine Thought feel a wave of icy cold.

He quickly calmed down and grasped the key to the problem, his voice becoming exceptionally serious: ”So... what are the numbers of Reserve Deities from the three parties scheduled to participate in this Bloody Arena?”

The Sheep God’s deep eyes stared intently at Zhou Zheng as he spoke slowly, word by word: ”My Orc God System... having gone through catastrophe, now only has a little over a hundred Reserve Deities left who can respond to the summons and are qualified to participate in this battle.”

”While for the other two God Systems... based on preliminary registrations, at least a thousand people are participating!”

Over a thousand against a hundred!

This disparaging ratio made Zhou Zheng’s heart sink even further. It meant that the Reserve Deities of the Orc God System would face a desperate situation of almost ten against one!

However, the Sheep God changed the subject and added: ”However, when signing this cruel agreement, we fought hard and added an extra challenge restriction.”

”Each Reserve Deity of the Orc God System will be challenged twice at most.” He paused, ”Of course, these two challenges cannot take place simultaneously.”

Hearing this supplementary clause, Zhou Zheng’s tense heartstrings relaxed slightly.

The worst-case scenario—being subjected to an infinite gauntlet of multiple opponents—had not occurred.

If he truly had to face the frenzied attacks of ten consecutive enemies, he wouldn’t agree to participate no matter what; that would be no different from seeking death.

But even so, the situation remained extremely grim.

With the opposing side holding an absolute advantage in total numbers, they would surely screen the candidates for the challenges. Those who ultimately obtained the qualification to challenge would certainly be the most elite, most ruthless, and most confident among the Reserve Deities of the two major God Systems!

This was still a path of blood with only a slim chance of survival.

Zhou Zheng took a deep breath, suppressing the agitation in his heart, and asked the final and most important question: ”Then... what about the rewards?”

With such immense risk, if there weren’t matching, irresistible returns, no one would be willing to step into this certain-death arena.

Upon hearing this, the sorrowful expression on the Sheep God’s face finally dissipated a little, revealing a smile that contained endless temptation: ”Rewards? Naturally... they are closely related to ascending to a Formal Deity!”
