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

Inside the first floor of the Nine Palaces Illusionary Cage Tower, in a huge palace conjured by Zeng Shen's thoughts.

At this moment, Zeng Shen sat on the throne above the main hall of the palace, just like an ancient emperor. Li Yuqing sat beside him, and Liu Tongtong and Liu Miao sat on either side of the steps below.

On either side of the main hall below the steps, there are flat, long tables with plates of fruits, water, and wine, and wooden plaques with names written on them.

At this moment, like powerful civil and military officials in ancient times, more than fifty core believers, including Xiao Ai, Xiao Di, Ya Sha, Die Sha, Li Sha, Wu Ni Sha, Sehir, Ito Wu Xue, Yin Xia, Huang Xiao Xiao, Mu Qing, Barbara, and Yan Xi, all knelt down on the cushioned chairs inside the long table.

Outside the main hall, there was also a long table, and a group of believers sat side by side on cushions, listening to the discussions inside the main hall.

Zeng Shen looked at the nameplates arranged according to his will and the believers who were seated, and he slowly said, "Today is a special day, your master is getting married!"

"Congratulations, Master, on your marriage!" The believers all stood up the moment Zeng Shen paused, clenched their right fists, placed them on their left chests, and bowed in unison to offer their congratulations.

“Alright, the master appreciates your blessings. Now, please sit down and let’s begin our first meeting tonight,” Zeng Shen said.

"Yes, Master."

The believers responded and slowly knelt on the cushions, their beautiful eyes gazing at Zeng Shen, who had also returned to his seat in the main hall.

After the believers sat down, Zeng Shen continued, "As you all know, there are only 42 days left until the global divine power on Earth is restored. I would like to hear your plans after the divine energy is restored."

Inside the main hall, the believers fell into a brief silence upon hearing Zeng Shen's question. No one spoke immediately, but most of them turned their gaze to Xiao Ai.

After all, Xiao Ai has long served as a kind of chief steward or personal secretary, constantly conveying Zeng Shen's plans.

What she said basically meant the master's plans and intentions.

However, Xiao Ai seemed oblivious to the stares cast upon her from all around, remaining seated and motionless.

Therefore, the others turned their attention to Tifa, who was sitting next to her.

Seeing this, Xiao Di took the lead in standing up to speak, but Zeng Shen gestured for her to sit down, so she sat back down and said softly, "Master, as the head of the Security Department, once my divine energy erupts, I will fully allocate the members of the Security Department to protect Long Shen New City. I will also arrange for Bai Qi, the deputy head of the Security Department, to recruit an additional team of security personnel centered around Jin Hai, as an external force for the new city."

“A very good plan and intention.” Zeng Shen nodded slightly, then pondered for a moment and said, “The members of this extra-organized team will not be limited to being selected from within Jin Hai.”

"Understood, Master," Xiao Di replied, then fell silent, while Zeng Shen turned his gaze to Aysa at the table next to Xiao Ai and Xiao Di in the front row.

At Asha's table, Hua Kui, You Ling, and Yan Xi sat side by side.

And this moment.

Asha was drinking a glass of pale red wine.

Seeing Zeng Shen looking over, she gently put down her wine glass and said, "Master, we have completely taken control of the eight continents of the Phantom Tower Kingdom. Following the 'high-salary inducement' strategy, we have carefully selected and recruited 30,000 prospective believers under the guise of the 'Transcendent Training Program.' Furthermore, on the first of next month, in your name, we plan to publicly bestow upon twenty devout prospective believer girls the power to become succubi and vampires. Afterward, we will await the eruption of divinity, and then, after rapidly stabilizing the internal affairs of the Phantom Tower Kingdom, we will reorganize and absorb all sentient beings in North America who have become intelligent races, incorporating them into the Phantom Tower Kingdom and making them masters of faith."

"Good, that's bold."

Upon hearing Asha's words, Zeng Shen immediately stood up, his spirits lifting, and said, "Master is looking forward to the four of you transforming the entire North America into a world inhabited by intelligent beings, into believers of Master. If you need any assistance, please don't hesitate to ask." Hua Kui, who was sitting next to Asha, spoke softly, "Master, after we return, we will discuss and prepare a comprehensive and feasible PowerPoint presentation for you to review. There will be some things we need in it, and we hope you can provide them to us."

"it is good."

Zeng Shen nodded, sat down in his chair, and then turned his gaze to the table next to Asha, which was the two tables on the right side of the first row.

At one of these two tables sat Wu Nisha, Leona, Youying, and Yeli, while at the other table sat Lisa, Yinxia, ​​Aisera, and Yingzi.

Seeing Zeng Shen looking over, Wu Nisha slowly said, "Master, within this month, we will establish a core force in Great Europe with you as our faith. During the divine energy eruption, we will also absorb all unclaimed intelligent beings into becoming your followers as quickly as possible. Afterwards, in order to facilitate your future management of the divine forces in Great Europe, we will absorb the surviving deities in Great Europe to establish a new country."

“Very good, but Great Europe is very large, and you have only recently arrived there. If you want to attract a large number of intelligent beings to believe in your master during the outbreak of divine energy, it will definitely be more difficult than for Yasa.”

Zeng Shen paused slightly as he spoke, then said in a deep voice, "After the meeting, you can go back a couple of days later. I'll prepare some things for you to help you gain more advantages and convenience in the remaining month and a half."

“Yes, Master.” Wu Nisha nodded and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Lisa, who was at the next table to Wunisa, raised an arm that was flashing with blue light and waved it slightly. A holographic star map appeared in front of the main hall.

The holographic star map is filled with countless starlight points, but these starlight points quickly magnify and condense onto a giant planet.

This planet is deserted, but in some area on it, there are huge starships parked.

In the middle of these starships, there was another starship twice the size of them, shimmering with a faint blue neon light.

Lisa gazed at the enormous starship and spoke:

"Master, the five hundred surveillance sub-ships have been fully completed, and the main surveillance ship, the 'Timekeeper,' will be completed in three days. Its 'Eye of the Abyss' system can mobilize all the surveillance sub-ships to scan and monitor all areas of Blue Star in real time, as long as the divine energy on Blue Star is released."

As Lisa introduced him, Zeng Shen slowly stood up, his eyes wide with awe as he looked at the starships docked on a planet in the Milky Way. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad, Lisa. You've achieved this speed more than a month ahead of our initial estimate. Very good."

Sitting next to Lisa, Yingzi, who had been assisting Lisa in building starships in the Milky Way, suddenly spoke up: "Master, although the starships are finished, I need to ask you for five hundred people to become members of our intelligence department. In this last month, I will lead them to those starships to provide them with in-depth training in operating the sub-monitoring starships. Afterward, each person will be assigned to each sub-monitoring starship to maintain and cooperate with Master's monitoring arrangements for each region of Blue Star, as well as to assist in combat missions."

“Sure, but before that, I’d like to know, if we don’t send anyone up there, can these starships still monitor Earth?” Zeng Shen asked.

“Master, that’s perfectly fine,” Lisa said, then added, “However, to better assist you in handling some regional incidents in the future, Yingzi and I will discuss assigning someone to coordinate on-site. This will allow them to monitor the starship and make it more flexible.”

Zeng Shen nodded slightly, then looked at Aisera and said, "In that case, Aisera, you should arrange for five hundred of your people to follow Lisa to the Milky Way."

“Yes, Master. When we get back, I will select five hundred winged maidens and give them to Lisa to train,” Etherra replied, standing up.

“Hmm,” Zeng Shen responded softly, gesturing for him to sit down before looking at Yin Xia, who was in charge of the virtual games section, wanting to hear about the development of the live-action virtual game that she had high hopes for him.

After all, in his grand scheme, this virtual game was a powerful tool for him to manipulate global deities and rack up points in the future.

Seeing Zeng Shen looking over, Yin Xia immediately understood and slowly said, "Master." (End of this chapter)
