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

After spending some time in the Yanhuang Divine Realm, listening to the Ancestral God introduce the buildings and wonders surrounding the Heroic Spirit Beach, Luo Xi and the others reluctantly returned to the Totem World through the Small World Gate.

now.

They finally understood just how terrifying the ancestral god they worshipped truly was. They were also even more grateful that they had made the right choice to become followers of the ancestral god.

When everyone returned to the temple in the City of Giant Valley, Zeng Shen looked at the crowd kneeling down below once again and said with a smile, "The passage has been completed. You can use it to travel to the Yanhuang Divine Realm to find me at any time in the future. After I leave, everything here will be in your hands."

"We will swear to protect the totem world with our lives and live up to the trust of our ancestral gods!" the crowd replied in unison, their voices filled with unwavering resolve.

Zeng Shen nodded and said nothing more. He had already made all the necessary arrangements and left behind all the resources he needed to. The rest was up to them to grow and thrive on their own.

After calming everyone down, Zeng Shen returned alone to the inner sanctum of the temple and took out the [Totem Small World Card], which had long since lost its luster.

This card was the key to unlocking the totem world for him. Now that the insectoid crisis has been resolved and he has completed this small world trial, it's time to settle the mission rewards.

Zeng Shen gently brushed his fingertips across the surface of the card, and with a thought, he infused it with his own consciousness.

In an instant, system notifications rang out in his mind like a tidal wave.

[Congratulations, host, on completing the core mission of the Totem Minor World: Resolve the Zerg invasion crisis and save the creatures of the Totem World.]

[Core mission completion rate: 100%!]

[Host detected to have completed an additional hidden mission: Subdue the Insect Mother Goddess Chi Li, make her a subordinate deity, and completely control the Insect race. Mission Completion: SSS Rank!]

[Host detected to have completed an additional hidden task: Construct a gate to a smaller world, opening a permanent passage between the Totem World and the host's divine realm, and gaining the faith of the entire Totem World's race. Task completion: SSS level!]

[Host detected to have completed an additional hidden mission: Establish a complete belief system in the Totem World, become the sole god of the Totem World, and greatly enhance the potential of the divine realm. Mission completion: SSS level!]

[Overall Mission Rating: SSS! The mission for this small world trial has been exceeded! Final rewards are being distributed to the host!]

A series of system notification sounds made Zeng Shen's heart beat a little faster.

He originally thought that it would be good enough to complete the core mission and get the basic reward, but he did not expect to trigger three hidden missions in a row and get the highest SSS rating!
It's important to know that the system's task rating is divided into seven levels from low to high: D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS. SSS is the highest rating, and the rewards you can get will be ten times, or even dozens of times, the basic rewards!
[Congratulations, host! You have received the basic mission rewards: Survival Points +50, God-Rank Experience +1!]

[Congratulations, host! You have received an SSS-level bonus: 500 million Survival Points and 100 million God-level Experience!]

[Congratulations, host! You have received exclusive rewards for the hidden quest: Divine Realm Quality Enhancement Card (Red) x1, Myriad Races Faith Pool (Red) x1, Divine Spark Condensation Card (Red) x1, Spatial Barrier Strengthening Card (Purple) x10, Divine Realm Legion Summoning Card (Purple) x5, and All Skill Proficiency Enhancement Card (Purple) x1!]

"What!" Zeng Shen's eyes widened.

The survival points reward is a whopping 5.5 million!
And the experience gained at the God-level has increased by a staggering 101 million!
You know, it takes him five million God-level experience points to break through from the fourth to the fifth rank. Back in the Zerg world, Chi Li activated the Ten Thousand Insect God-Slaying Array, killing so many high-ranking Zerg, but it only gave him one million God-level experience points. But this time, he got one million directly! "Tsk tsk, this reward is amazing. It seems that in the future, when using the Small World Card, I will definitely have to use the Hint Card to explore the hidden quests."

Zeng Shen thought to himself, suppressing his overwhelming joy, and began to examine the detailed information of the card rewards.

First, there are three red cards, which are the core part of this reward.

[Divine Realm Quality Upgrade Card: A red-level exclusive card that can unconditionally upgrade the quality of any divine realm by one level, with no side effects and no usage requirements. It can upgrade a divine realm to a maximum level of SS.]

Upon seeing the card's description, Zeng Shen's eyes lit up instantly.

He currently possesses two divine realms: the Yanhuang Divine Realm and the Watery Divine Realm. The Yanhuang Divine Realm and the Watery Divine Realm are both SSS-rank, so they don't need this card at all.

However, Chi Li's Myriad Insect Domain was only Grade B. With this card, he could directly upgrade his Myriad Insect Domain from Grade B to Grade A!
Moreover, this card has no usage threshold. Even if he obtains a lower-level God Realm fragment in the future, he can directly use this card to upgrade its quality. It is simply a versatile treasure.

Alternatively, if you later acquire a unique divine realm but it's only S-grade, you can use this card to change its grade.

After figuring out the purpose of this card, Zeng Shen turned his attention to the second red card, [Pool of Faith of All Races].

[Pool of Faith Among All Races: A rare wonder card. When invested into any of the host's divine realms, it generates a Pool of Faith Among All Races. This pool can absorb the faith power of all races within the host, transforming it into pure, unattached faith power. This power can be used by the host or designated for use by all subordinate gods. Furthermore, the faith gained will be increased by 20%. The pool also has a chance to automatically generate corresponding faith talents based on the race and devotion of the believers, bestowing these talents upon the respective believers and significantly improving faith conversion efficiency.]

"Good heavens, another gem!"

Zeng Shen couldn't help but gasp softly.

His current followers are of all races: humans, succubi, vampires, winged women, insectoids, totem races, and so on. The faith generated by all intelligent races converges on him, forming a mixed power of faith that can only be used by him.

With this spectacle, these powers of faith become unattached, allowing one to lend their excess power to gods whose faith is waning but who require a massive amount of faith to break through, thus strengthening their power.

After all, with the Pool of Faith of All Races, the faith power of all races can be transformed into pure faith power without affiliation. Not only can he use it himself, but he can also distribute it to all the subordinate gods under his command.

More importantly, it can automatically generate faith talents for believers, improve the efficiency of faith conversion, and also increase faith by 20%.

This means that the more followers he has in the future, and the more diverse his ethnicities, the more terrifying the harvest of faith power will be—a snowballing effect.

Thinking of this, Zeng Shen didn't hesitate and threw the card into the very center of the Yanhuang Divine Realm before looking at the third red card, the [Divine Essence Condensation Card].

[Divine Spark Condensation Card: A red exclusive card that unconditionally helps the host condense a complete divine spark, ignoring rank restrictions and pantheon restrictions, improving the quality of the condensed divine spark, and matching the corresponding divine office with the highest quality of the host's current divine domain.] (End of Chapter)
