My System Arrives 3 Years Earlier, But the Deities Haven't Come Yet

"Tsk tsk, the temperature of this scorched land reaches as high as 300 degrees, about the same as a lighter's flame."

"This is simply not a place where ordinary creatures can exist."

Through the Peering Eye, Zeng Shen received information and immediately understood why his clothes caught fire as soon as he entered this divine realm.

At the same time, a sense of relief flashed in his eyes.

Thankfully, his fire resistance had already increased to level 5, allowing him to withstand temperatures up to 2500 degrees.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to stay in this divine realm to expand his knowledge, broaden his horizons, and gain benefits.

He would have had to leave embarrassed, wasting 100,000 survival points for nothing.

Just as Zeng Shen thought this, the gray-white smoke slowly drifting above him suddenly churned and condensed into a giant phantom face.

This giant phantom face had ashen gray skin, blood-red eyes, tusks, and a rectangular face shape.

The edges of the face were lined with sharp stingers, reminding Zeng Shen of the scorpion demon from "Calabash Brothers."

As soon as the giant face appeared, its pupils moved, gazing down at the divine realm, and its tusked mouth let out an angry roar.

"Vermin, how dare you invade my divine realm while I am preparing for the divine war."

"No way, was I discovered so quickly? Was my invisibility really useless?"

Hearing the angry roar above, Zeng Shen was shocked and perplexed, wondering how he could understand the deity's words. Just as he was about to disable his invisibility, a warning sounded in his ear.

[Warning! Warning! The host has invaded the SSS-level divine realm of a Tier 1 Hell-Type Mors, triggering the realm's alert. If detected, given the host's current strength and combat power, it would be an even match. Proceed with caution and avoid reckless actions.]

Zeng Shen glanced at the terrifying giant face above and listened to the warning, feeling a twitch at the corner of his mouth.

It turned out this creature hadn't actually discovered him.

It was just the preemptive alert triggered by invading its realm.

Relieved, Zeng Shen continued to remain invisible and silently sent a Peering Eye toward the smoke-formed giant face.

[True Name: Mors]

[Divine Core: War]

[Divine Roles: Ravage, Scorched Earth]

[Divine Realm: Scorched Earth Purgatory (SSS-level)]

[Divine Abilities: Falling Skyfire (Low-level), Fire Rock Giant (Low-level), Hellfire Tornado (Low-level), Magma Quagmire (Low-level), Groundfire Iron Cage (Mid-level), Scorched Earth Conversion (Mid-level)]

[Divine Fire: 3561]

[Faith: 121546]

[Followers: 3546]

[Analysis: A demon from the Abyssal Star with natural resistance to fire and an unimaginable fervor for war and slaughter.]

Looking at the information panel of the Mors demon, Zeng Shen gleaned several useful pieces of information.

First, he understood why he could comprehend the demon's roaring.

It was due to its gift of Universal Language.

Secondly, regarding the divine system.

The Tier 1 Hell-Type divine system, a rare system, required 1500 divine rank experience to advance to level 2.

In contrast, he needed 3000 divine rank experience to progress from Tier 1 to Tier 2.

If the experience required doubled according to the density of the divine system for advancement, it suggested that his divine system was likely a rare one, though not a legendary one.

While it was a bit disappointing that it wasn't a legendary divine system, Zeng Shen felt a bit regretful.

Each divine rank experience point represents an increase in four-dimensional attributes, essentially potential.

However, thinking about it, Zeng Shen felt he should be satisfied.

On Blue Star, among the many divine systems he encountered, not one was a legendary divine system.

And he only encountered three rare divine systems.

Those were the War God system with Bai Qi, the Angel system with Tidya, and Kekelin.

This suggests that a legendary divine system is almost unimaginably rare.

"Vermin, do you think that by having your followers hide and disguise themselves, you can evade my detection skills, Mors? Quickly state your divine name; I do not kill the nameless followers."

Listening to the demon Mors above, who was trying to get him to reveal himself, Zeng Shen couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

"With the basic temperature of your divine realm, how could I bring any followers?"

Zeng Shen couldn't help but mutter to himself, then glanced at Mors's skill introduction and closed his panel.

Next, he reached down and pulled up several clumps of red fire grass, storing them in his backpack space to take back for planting and propagation in his own divine realm.

These red fire grasses were extremely difficult to pull out.

And very tough.

Zeng Shen struggled for a while, managing to pull out fifteen clumps to store in his backpack, and then pulled out another clump. He fashioned a makeshift pair of underwear from transparent, soft leather gloves.

Otherwise, he felt like a streaker when walking.

"Useless vermin, daring to invade my divine realm yet hiding with some item, not daring to manifest your consciousness for a void meeting. Are you afraid of my real-world retaliation?"

Ignoring the ranting Mors above, Zeng Shen turned to the ten rare Purgatory Durian fruit trees.

Each Purgatory Durian fruit bore seven winter melon-sized fruits.

Zeng Shen focused his mind, using telekinesis to make the Purgatory Durian fruits on one tree rotate clockwise.

Instantly, the fruits separated from the branches due to the rotational force.

In a moment, Zeng Shen saw the tree rapidly wither, losing all its vitality.

"What the...? Does the fruit tree wither as soon as the fruits are taken?"

"I was thinking of transplanting the tree after taking the fruits, but it seems impossible."

With a touch of regret, Zeng Shen controlled the Purgatory Durian fruits to fly to him, collecting them into his backpack space, and then moved to another Purgatory Durian fruit tree.

This time, instead of picking the fruits, he used more faith power to employ telekinesis to pull the tree from the hellish soil.

However, when he tried to store the entire tree in his backpack space, the tree immediately withered, leaving only seven durian-sized fruits.

"Strange."

"Could it be that these fruit trees can't survive once they leave this hellish soil?"

Puzzled, Zeng Shen flew to another Purgatory Durian fruit tree, focusing his mind.

The tree, surrounded by a large amount of hellish soil, slowly rose from the ground.

Yet, as soon as it left the soil, it withered just as quickly.

"Goodness, these trees can't live once they leave this land."

Concluding this, Zeng Shen abandoned the idea of transplanting Purgatory Durian fruit trees and continued collecting fruits from the next tree.

Meanwhile, he occasionally glanced at the furious Mors above, wary of being discovered while plundering the fruits.

As Zeng Shen approached a solitary Purgatory Durian fruit tree ten meters away, he focused his mind again, separating the fruits from the tree and storing them in his backpack space.

While moving to another tree and just beginning to use telekinesis, the blood-red eyes of the demon Mors above suddenly locked onto him, and it roared in fury:

"Unforgivable! Sneaky vermin follower, daring to steal my Purgatory Durian fruits. Groundfire Iron Cage."
