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

Chapter 622 The New Century Rules of Blue Star
Zeng Shen looked at the expectant yet slightly uneasy light in Liu Miao's eyes and nodded gently, saying, "Liu Miao, Mu Qing will be in charge of the Siren's transformation. Here's what we'll do: find some time to go back to Jin Hai and bring Mu Qing along so she can help you complete the transformation and give you superhuman strength."

Upon hearing this, Liu Miao smiled and said, "Okay, Shen. My grandfather is in good health now. I plan to return to Jinhai tomorrow after things are settled here, and I'll bring my grandfather back with me."

Li Yuqing's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said, "Shen, after we have dinner at my house tonight, let's go back tomorrow. Liu Miao, you can come with us then."

“Okay.” Liu Miao nodded gently, and Zeng Shen naturally had no objection.

After Liu Miao finished her meal, the group took a walk and chatted together in a nearby park.

Around 5:30, Liu Miao said to Zeng Shen and Li Yuqing with some reluctance, "I'm going to my grandfather's place first. I have a business gathering to attend tonight."

“Okay, Liu Miao, actually you don’t need to go to these business gatherings anymore,” Zeng Shen said with a smile.

“I know, but my best friend is coming back from out of town tonight and will be attending this gathering. I haven’t seen her in a long time, and there are some things I want to talk to her about tonight,” Liu Miao explained.

"I see. Then you can go." Zeng Shen said, taking Li Yuqing's hand and saying to her, "Let's go too, don't keep your uncle and aunt waiting too long."

Li Yuqing smiled and gave Liu Miao a gentle hug, saying, "Miao Miao, let's continue our chat when I get back."

"Okay, go ahead." Liu Miao nodded vigorously.

After saying goodbye to Liu Miao, Zeng Shen and Li Yuqing drove to Li Jianye's villa in the suburbs.

Before long, the car entered a quiet villa area and stopped in front of a rather large mansion.

As soon as the servants inside saw Li Yuqing sitting in the driver's seat, they immediately went to open the door to greet her.

At this moment, Li Jianye and Zhou Wan were already waiting in the living room, and the dining table next to them was full of sumptuous dishes.

After parking the car, Zeng Shen and Li Yuqing picked up the gifts they had prepared and walked towards the door. At that moment, a clear voice came from inside: "Xiao Shen, Yuqing, come in and sit down."

Zhou Wan and Li Jianye got up and walked to the front door, greeting everyone as warmly as usual, but their smiles seemed somewhat unnatural to Zeng Shen.

"Uncle, Aunt, I brought you some gifts at noon, but I forgot to take them from the car. I brought them over this time." Zeng Shen handed the gifts to Zhou Wan.

"Oh, okay, okay, next time you come, make yourself at home, don't bother bringing gifts," Zhou Wan said with a smile.

"Okay, Auntie," Zeng Shen said, then looked at Li Jianye, "Uncle, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"It's alright, we just arrived. We had Aunt Zhang and the maids prepare the meal at home beforehand. You're back just in time; we can eat now," Li Jianye said with a slight smile, but his expression was noticeably more unnatural than during the last meal, which Zeng Shen noticed. "Aunt Zhang's cooking smells amazing! I smelled the aroma as soon as I got out of the car, and I couldn't resist wanting to dig in," Li Yuqing said.

"Hehe, let's eat first then," Zhou Wan said with a smile.

Li Yuqing immediately pulled Zhou Wan toward the dining table, with Zeng Shen and Li Jianye following behind.

Upon reaching the dining table, Li Jianye told the servants to go back to rest, and then gestured for Zeng Shen to sit down and eat.

At first, everyone exchanged ordinary pleasantries. Li Jianye inquired about Zeng Shen's work, while Zhou Wan asked whether Li Yuqing was being well taken care of by Zeng Shen.

However, this superficial ease was quickly broken by a hesitant silence. Zhou Wan glanced at Li Jianye several times, her lips trembling slightly, but she couldn't utter a sound. Li Jianye frowned slightly, his hand holding the wine glass unconsciously stroking the rim, his gaze repeatedly falling on Zeng Shen, full of inquiry.

Li Yuqing put down her chopsticks, glanced at her parents' faces, and finally sighed softly, breaking the fragile calm that was as thin as ice: "Dad, Mom, there are no outsiders here, so just say what you want to say. I can tell that you want to ask about that announcement that's been making headlines lately, right? It's about that short drama called 'Global Gods Revival'."

Li Jianye and Zhou Wan were both startled, clearly their daughter had seen through their thoughts. Zhou Wan opened her mouth, her eyes filled with complex emotions as she looked at Zeng Shen: "Xiao Shen... Auntie doesn't mean to interfere in your affairs, but these past few days... online, and through some insider channels, they've been spreading like wildfire about that drama... about those supernatural... gods and spirits... even talking about a 'nationwide resurgence of deities'... describing it in great detail... some people are even confidently saying that's the future... we..."

Li Jianye took over the conversation, his voice deep and powerful, his gaze fixed on Zeng Shen: "Xiao Shen, just now at the company's board meeting, the meeting revolved around the official Da Xia government, the highest level... all the national teams seem to be busy with someone or something called 'Long Shen Group'... and this Long Shen Group, and behind that short drama announcement... are they related to you?"

The dining room fell silent instantly, broken only by the occasional chirping of insects outside the window.

Li Yuqing glanced at Zeng Shen, intending to say something, but ultimately kept quiet and waited for Zeng Shen's response.

Zeng Shen knew that the reason why Li Jianye and Zhou Wan had acted somewhat unnaturally just now was because of this matter, so he remained calm and did not avoid the shocked, confused, and pressured gazes of Li Jianye and Zhou Wan.

He spoke slowly, his voice calm: "Uncle Li, Aunt Zhou, you guessed right. The 'era of universal deity revival' depicted in the short drama 'Global Deity Revival' is not a fictional future prediction, but a reality that is about to arrive in full force."

"Wh-what?!" Zhou Wan covered her mouth, her eyes widening instantly.

Even though Li Jianye was mentally prepared, he felt as if he had been struck by an invisible hammer. His body straightened involuntarily, and his facial muscles tightened as he said, "The future can be predicted? Divinity is about to be revived? The world is about to undergo a great change!"

Zeng Shen nodded and continued, “A catastrophic global upheaval is imminent, a crisis far exceeding any natural or man-made disaster you are familiar with. Only by enabling as many humans as possible to understand the rules of the divine world in advance can we better master the ability to combat calamities and allow the entire human civilization to enter a new era with minimal losses. This is the original intention and purpose of my planning and release of the short drama ‘The Revival of the Gods for All.’ The Long Shen Group is the organization I use to guide and carry this power.”

At this point, Zeng Shen paused slightly before continuing, "As for Great Xia... Uncle Li, the inside information you received is correct. Not long ago, I reached a consensus and cooperation with the highest-ranking official of Great Xia, and they will assist me in thoroughly formulating the new century rules for the entire Blue Star."
