Of the four new white cards, Zeng Shen spent only a second glancing at the first three before shifting his attention to the last one.
Small emerald and gemstone card.
From the information provided on this card,
a suspicion suddenly arose in Zeng Shen's mind.
The emeralds and gemstones extracted from this small emerald and gemstone mine card seemed to be more than mere decorations.
They were a strategic resource of the future.
They could be used to craft some kind of special equipment, perhaps even extraordinary weapons, strengthening both himself and his followers.
"Could my divine-energy rocket launcher have been made from minerals containing divine energy like these?"
Zeng Shen pondered that possibility, but several more notifications drew his attention away.
[Congratulations, host: you drew 2 green cards, skill cards, low-tier agility enhancement.] [Congratulations, host: you drew 1 green card, small multifunctional mining and refining vehicle.] [Congratulations, host: you drew 1 blue card, equipment card, disguise mask.]
"Three greens and one blue!"
"Not bad."
Zeng Shen praised the results to himself, then looked curiously toward the inventory slots holding the green and blue cards.
[Agility enhancement: a low-tier skill the host can learn and use. Each use consumes 10 faith points or a certain amount of stamina to increase agility twofold for 5 minutes. When placed in the divine domain, followers within the domain have a chance of learning it.] [Small multifunctional mining and refining vehicle: a mining vehicle that automatically extracts and refines minerals when given commands.] [Disguise mask: blue quality. When worn, it allows the host to reshape his face at will to resemble someone else and change his voice to match theirs.]
"They're all good stuff."
"There are two identical skill cards. I can use one to learn the skill and the other to upgrade it, or give it to my followers."
"This small multifunctional mining and refining vehicle is exactly what I needed. Once I put the three mineral resource cards into my divine domain, I can start mining right away."
"And this disguise mask."
"The possibilities are endless. If I wore it and turned into some beautiful woman's boyfriend, wouldn't that mean... I could even try things I never dared to do before."
After commenting on the three green cards and one blue card, Zeng Shen immediately learned agility enhancement, then tapped the remaining agility enhancement card with both hands.
[Would the host like to learn agility enhancement again?]
"Yes."
[Congratulations, host. Agility enhancement has advanced to intermediate tier. Each use consumes 10/20 faith points or a certain amount of stamina to increase agility twofold/fivefold for 5 minutes.]
"Nice, nice. With intermediate agility enhancement, I can choose whether to boost my agility twofold or fivefold."
"If I upgrade it to high tier, I should be able to choose an even higher multiplier when I use it, right?"
After considering that possibility, Zeng Shen focused once more on the golden divine domain card.
He intended to use the divine domain card right away.
Then he would take the stray cats here-his followers-
and transfer them all into his divine domain.
That way, the young streamer he had chased off earlier wouldn't be able to take revenge by buying some cat food, mixing in poison, and killing the stray cats while he was away.
Without delay,
Zeng Shen tapped the divine domain card twice with both hands.
[Would the host like to use this gold card?]
"Yes."
As soon as Zeng Shen spoke, the gold card flew out of his inventory and shattered into countless fragments before his eyes. The fragments hovered and swirled, gradually forming a miniature galaxy filled with countless stars.
As Zeng Shen gazed at the miniature galaxy before him, he felt as though his gaze and his entire consciousness were being drawn into it.
The moment he realized he was being pulled into that star-filled galaxy, he instinctively struggled against the pull, and a notification sounded in his mind.
"The host need not resist. Your consciousness is now being protected by Blue Star's will as it flies toward the skies above your divine domain."
Upon hearing the notification, Zeng Shen stopped resisting the pull.
He relaxed and let his consciousness follow it.
In an instant, the stars shifted. Amid the endless darkness of the cosmic void, brilliantly shining stars and exquisite galaxies flashed past his eyes.
When he came to his senses again, his consciousness had taken on his own appearance, hovering above a planet mostly shrouded in darkness.
He looked down at the planet. Amazingly, despite being tens of thousands of meters above it, he could clearly see the small region that was not covered by darkness.
Even in the very instant he saw that region,
he felt an intense sense of ownership and affinity toward the stretch of land he could see.
[Congratulations, host. You have activated your divine domain. Please name your divine domain.]
"So this region is my divine domain?"
Zeng Shen murmured, overwhelmed with awe.
"It takes a million faith points to activate a divine domain, but with this divine domain card, I've activated mine ahead of time."
"This is freaking awesome."
"But what should I name it?" Zeng Shen pondered for a moment, then said softly, "Domain of Yanhuang."
[Congratulations, host. The Domain of Yanhuang has been successfully named. Mentally say "divine domain panel" to view the details of the Domain of Yanhuang.] [Friendly reminder 1: expansion of the divine domain's territory is closely linked to the host's strength. The host can also expand its territory by plundering and absorbing the potential of other divine domains.] [Friendly reminder 2: if species containing this divine domain's divine energy are consumed and absorbed by divine or non-divine species from outside the domain, the domain's potential will be diminished. Conversely, its potential will increase.]
Open divine domain interface.
Zeng Shen called softly in his mind.
A faintly white panel soon appeared before his eyes.
[Divine domain interface] [Domain name: Domain of Yanhuang] [Area: 1,000 square kilometers] [Environment: plains 30%, bodies of water 20%, forests 20%, mountains 15%, canyons 10%, limestone caves 2%, deserts 2%, other 1%] [Wonders: deity's palace (rare wonder; allows the host to descend into the divine domain in person).] [Traits: divine concealment (rare trait; no deity can detect this divine domain's coordinates). Divine protection (rare trait; any creature without divine energy that is a follower of the host will not lose itself or age rapidly within the divine domain filled with divine energy).] [Retainer races: none.] [Exotic beasts: none.] [Minerals: unexplored.] [Vegetation: tree forests, shrub forests, moss, aquatic herbaceous plants.] [Animals: none.] [Aquatic life: none.] [Evaluation: highest-tier divine domain, SSS-grade divine domain, a divinely chosen land. When the divine domain expands, there is a chance that special groups of intelligent races will appear, and that rare traits and rare wonders will develop.]
