Chapter 1

Tianxing High School, Temporary Awakening Room No. 6.

A middle-aged teacher held a list and read a sentence.

"Yun Shen, right? Just place your hand on it to awaken your Lord Core."

"Yes."

Yun Shen extended his palm and pressed it onto a transparent crystal ball, feeling somewhat nervous; he had transmigrated to this world sixteen years ago, and today was the day he entered his first year of high school.

This world is different from his previous life; everyone here can awaken a Lord Core upon entering high school, and everyone has the opportunity to become a god!

Not to mention the entire Blue Star, the Dragon Kingdom alone has many historical figures who created Divine Realms, leaving a heavy and colorful mark in the history of the myriad races across the starry sky!

Shi Yu, Zu Xia, Huang Shang, Tian Zhou, Xian Qin, Ru Han, Luan Jin, Zhan Sui, Sheng Tang, Dao Song, Mo Yuan, Wu Ming, Yao Qing, Ke Hua...

Based on his middle school history curriculum, Yun Shen learned about the deeds of powerful figures from many eras.

In this parallel world, Ying Zheng of the Xian Qin Divine Realm, known as the Ancestral Dragon, built the world wonder 【Starry Sky Great Wall】 to resist the invasion of the myriad races and protect the eternal peace of Blue Star!

Ru Han Domain Lord Liu Bang, and his successor Liu Che, advocated "dismissing all schools of thought and honoring only Confucianism," achieving the status of Sage of Confucianism, and even built the world wonder 【Silk Road】, benefiting future generations and completely opening up trade between Blue Star lords and the myriad races!

Sheng Tang Domain Lord Li Shimin swept across various races, and everywhere he went, they submitted; he was honored as "Heavenly Khan" by many small races, and the myriad races came to pay homage!

Wu Ming Domain Lord Zhu Yuanzhang rose from humble beginnings, becoming a god against all odds as a beggar; he built high walls, gathered grain, delayed his coronation, completely overthrew the rule of the Mo Yuan Divine Realm, and established the Wu Ming Divine Realm!

A gray light lit up on the crystal ball, and Yun Shen's heart sank to the bottom.

"Inferior quality. I suggest you give up on becoming a lord; perhaps being an ordinary person is more suitable for you."

The middle-aged teacher in charge of recording spoke quite tactfully.

There are seven grades for human Lord Core awakening: gray inferior, white common, green superior, blue rare, purple excellent, orange epic, and golden legendary.

Among them, common quality is the most likely to appear, and inferior quality is very rare, but as long as it appears, the teacher in charge of awakening will suggest the other party give up on becoming a lord.

There is no other reason; it is purely because inferior quality brings negative effects.

Yun Shen nodded and said, "Thank you, teacher. I will consider it."

The middle-aged teacher was very experienced and was used to this; seeing Yun Shen's expression, he knew this was the kind of student who wouldn't turn back until they hit the south wall.

He couldn't do anything about it, so he could only comfort him: "Relax your mind. That Ming Emperor of the Wu Ming Divine Realm, although he had the inferior trait 【Poverty and Destitution】 back then, was still able to defy the heavens and change his fate. Now, he has become one of the gods of our Dragon Kingdom, with the divine title Hongwu!"

Yun Shen didn't speak, but silently looked at a piece of calligraphy hanging on the wall.

"The universe is not yet settled; everyone is a dark horse!"

He chuckled, drank this bowl of chicken soup, relaxed his mind, and said, "I will work hard."

"Hmm, next."

Yun Shen walked out of the awakening room, and the next person went in to awaken; he soon arrived at the entrance of the playground, where there were many stalls applied for by capital firms.

Students can apply for angel investment from major capital firms here by dividing up territory shares.

A middle-aged man in a suit saw Yun Shen lingering here for a long time and knew he was a student who was hesitating, so he decided to be proactive.

"Classmate, classmate! May I ask if you want to apply for investment? I am an angel investor from Penguin!"

Yun Shen hesitated for a long time; he knew that capital investment was a shackle for a lord, but in the end, he nodded with difficulty and asked, "Is it possible?"

"Of course it is! May I ask what quality your territory core is? Let me see..."

"Gray inferior."

"Look, ah... I've taken a look, I'm really sorry, I don't have enough investment here. Why don't you go to Ali next door and try?"

The smile on the middle-aged man's face vanished, and his expression changed immediately; he flipped his face faster than flipping a book.

The angel investors belonging to other capital firms around also heard the conversation here and lost interest in Yun Shen one after another.

Yun Shen walked away in silence, not asking at other investment stalls, but walked off on his own.

A territory core of inferior quality almost never has a chance to turn things around; the risk is too great, and unless one uses internal connections, it is impossible to get investment at all.

But before Yun Shen had walked far, a young man who was processing his application nearby spat and said with disdain, "What kind of status do you have, wanting the same investment as me?"

The middle-aged man in the suit clearly valued the young man highly, and without caring that Yun Shen hadn't walked far, he echoed, "Hahaha, Classmate Xu Xiaojiang's territory core is of purple excellent quality, naturally not something those inferior qualities can compare to. Drinking some toxic chicken soup and really thinking of yourself as a figure like the Wu Ming Domain Lord?"

Yun Shen heard all these words, but he was helpless; after entering the playground, he just found an empty spot and sat down by himself.

At this time, it was already full of people, and there was no such thing as a queue, after all, they hadn't been divided into classes yet.

If one cannot pass the Newcomer Trial, then one will have no chance to become a lord and can only attend some ordinary high schools.

From time to time, some people left the playground with ugly expressions; they were probably students who had awakened inferior quality.

In this world where everyone can become like a dragon, how many people can really leap over the dragon gate?

Family background often determines everything!

The bloodline of parents and ancestors can influence the quality of the territory core awakened by future generations.

And peerless geniuses like Zhu Yuanzhang are not born in every era.

But... reincarnated into this world where one can become a god, how could he be willing to be an ordinary person?

Yun Shen sat there quietly, waiting for the start of the Newcomer Trial.

When the crowd on the playground became dense, a crisp and pleasant female voice came from the sky.

"Silence, I am your principal, Dongfang Yue. Next, I will send you to the Myriad Races Battlefield."

"I don't like nonsense. The Newcomer Trial lasts thirty days. If you can't persist, you can quit early. You still have nearly three minutes to consider. Everyone sit down. When the time comes, for those still standing, I will assume you have chosen to quit."

The voice had arrived, but the person was nowhere to be seen.

The freshmen on the playground suddenly became noisy, and one by one they found a place to sit on the ground.

Soon, Principal Dongfang Yue's voice came again.

"Time is up!"

"In this magnificent world, let a thousand lamps burn together! I encourage you all!"

"I wish you all, a triumphant return!"

A ray of rosy light swept in from the boundless horizon, enveloping all the students who were still sitting.

At the same time, similar scenes were happening all over the world, and even on the planets where the myriad races of the universe resided.
