Chapter 1 - Mutation, Awakening of the World Seed!

Chapter 1: Mutation, Awakening of the World Seed! “Xiang Hu from Class Three has opened up a 10-kilometre celestial square world, and he’s currently being summoned by the principal!”

“Tsk tsk, one step to the heavens.”

“That’s nothing. Just the other day, Mei Wanqing from First High School opened up the Ghost Realm, capable of nurturing spirits and monsters!”

“I heard even the provincial government took notice, sending a representative to win her over and rewarding her with a B-Class card!”

“Hiss, a B-Class card? Even the cheapest resource card costs at least 10 million! They sure are generous.”…

At Guangcheng No. 3 High School, on the sports field.

A giant chaotic-coloured stone the size of an adult stood at the centre.

Over a thousand students were lined up in neat rows, one by one touching the Awakening Stone.

Today was the day students awakened their World Seeds.

No one could remain calm.

Listening to the discussions around him, Su Bai smiled bitterly in the crowd.

“I never expected to transmigrate to such a strange world.”

He wasn’t a native of this world—he was a transmigrator.

After two years of learning, Su Bai was astonished to discover

that here, when people reach adulthood, they have a chance to awaken their World Seed.

This moment was the turning point of their lives!

Su Bai looked up,

and even in broad daylight, he could vaguely see the specks of light in the sky.

Each of those specks represented a world!

Those who successfully opened up their world would become creators, ruling over a world, building their forces, and rising to prominence.

They would be valued by schools and nations, receiving a wealth of resources.

Those who failed would fall into the abyss, never able to rise again!

The best they could hope for was to work as a servant for another world master.

Some even had to sign master-servant contracts, spending their lives at their employer’s mercy!

In this world, national strength was no longer just about military power.

It was about how many creators they had!

Two hundred years ago, during the Great World Turmoil, outer gods invaded from the depths of the universe.

The stars in the chaotic sky represented the worlds and planets of each creator.

They formed the first line of defence against the outer gods.

Moreover, they could use their worlds to fish for various resources and treasures in the starry sky.

Hundreds of tonnes of meteorites, fossils of strange cosmic creatures, pools of evolution fluid filled with spirit liquid, indestructible metals,

and even brand new life planets!

These were all things only creators could access.

At this moment, students who had awakened ahead of him were returning,

with many girls who had failed the awakening huddled together in tears.

Suddenly, there was a commotion up ahead.

“Look! Chi Lansu has successfully awakened!”

“It’s the most common Spiritual Energy World, and it’s a full 20 kilometres!”

“Hiss, that’s ten times more potential than Xiang Hu’s. She’s probably the top student in the school now, right?”…

The crowd grew noisy as the students became agitated.

Even the teachers in the stands were alerted, with their homeroom teacher, Ms Li, excitedly stepping down

to speak with a girl with a ponytail, fair skin, and delicate features.

She was none other than Chi Lansu, the class president of Su Bai’s class.

Her pretty face couldn’t hide her excitement as she followed the homeroom teacher to the principal’s office.

As they walked by, the other students automatically made way for her.

Many familiar female classmates watched her leave with complicated expressions.

Their eyes were filled with both envy and a tinge of jealousy.

They knew that from today onwards, their lives would be worlds apart.

“She actually succeeded.”

Su Bai was also surprised.

After all, Chi Lansu was his deskmate. They often joked and played around, and they were quite close.

He had even teased her several times, making her cry on more than one occasion.

Sensing his gaze, Chi Lansu’s ponytail swayed,

and she turned around, waving her tiny pink fist at him in a mock threat.

Her face was full of playful cuteness.

Su Bai shook his head helplessly.

“Su Bai, step forward!”

The next moment, the teacher called his name.

Su Bai took a deep breath and walked forward.

He stepped up and placed his hand on the chaotic stone,

closing his eyes.

It was as if he had been electrocuted.

The sensation from his fingertips activated his entire brain.

Su Bai’s consciousness detached from his body.

His mind seemed to explode like the Big Bang, erupting in an instant.

At the same time,

in the depths of the chaotic starry sky, a new star was born.

It was as if a divine kingdom was opening up, and a grey, hazy world appeared in his mind.

This was a world projection—the real world existed in the starry sky,

growing rapidly.

“Did I succeed?”

Su Bai’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly followed the knowledge from his textbooks, focusing his mind.

He sensed the star in the void, opening up his world.

He absorbed cosmic energy, trying to expand the size and potential of his newborn star.

A newborn world’s initial birth was a gift from the universe.

The more energy it could absorb and the larger the world it could open up, the greater its future potential.

“Huh? Someone else from Class One succeeded in awakening?”

On the high platform, a supervising teacher glanced over.

“The success rate among this year’s graduates is quite high—it’s the best in ten years.”

Just then, Su Bai, who was in the middle of awakening, heard a mechanical voice.

[Awakening in progress…].[Your world is absorbing cosmic energy and expanding…].[Based on its attributes, absorbed energy, and environmental conditions, your world is being converted and assigned an attribute and faction!].

“Here it comes, the moment of truth!”

Su Bai’s heart tightened as he held his breath.

Everyone’s world was different.

The most common ones were mundane worlds, not even on par with the technological level of reality.

But if his world converted to a low-level energy world like internal force, or even to a mid-level world with true energy or battle aura, it would already surpass 99% of people!

And if he awakened a world with high-level spiritual energy or magic, it would be a meteoric rise—he’d even shock the nation.

Not only would there be significant official rewards, but major corporations would stop at nothing to recruit him.

Just as Su Bai was nervously awakening his world, something unexpected happened…
