Chapter 1: Crossing Over

"I’ve transmigrated!" William was lying on a shabby bed, holding his head in pain as he processed the memories of this body.

Now, aside from having a clear understanding of his transmigration, everything else in his mind was like a towel tossed into a washing machine, tumbling and turning in chaos, making it hard to settle.

"Ha..."

After two hours of intense mental struggle, William finally calmed down.

Sweat drenched his forehead, and he lay back on the bed, eyes tightly closed, taking deep breaths of fresh air. The memories of this body were now fully integrated into his mind.

He slowly sat up, leaning against the headboard, trying to organize the memories in his mind.

This world was one where everyone had the chance to become a god. The original body’s owner, also named William, was only seventeen years old, an orphan just like him.

The original William had been told from the beginning that there was only one way to change his fate:

To study hard, obtain the seed of a god, open his own divine domain, become a demigod, a godling, or even a true god, and raise his divine kingdom in the real world to attain immortality.

Through relentless effort, he had defeated countless competitors and, with the best results in the remote region, was accepted into the prestigious Second High School in Qinghai Star Capital.

He had maintained the top spot in his grade, and by the time he reached his second year of high school, he had successfully obtained the coveted divine seed.

The divine seed had been nurtured within his body for a year, and just yesterday, he had successfully opened his divine domain.

However, the divine nature of this seed was now somewhat useless—it was for environmental adaptation.

The core familiar he had awakened was a completely ordinary ant, just a bit larger and possessing a little more intelligence than usual, but otherwise no different from any other ant.

Compared to the magical creatures he had dreamed of—fairies, elves, dragons, etc.—his familiar was essentially useless.

Faced with the crushing disappointment of reality, the original owner’s spirit had completely broken down.

Having just become a demigod, his body had not yet been transformed by supernatural power, and he fell ill soon after, dying peacefully in his sleep. And now, William had taken over the body.

"What’s there to be upset about? Life can’t always go the way you want it. I’ve already opened a divine domain and become a demigod. Even if the domain is shattered, with my body nourished by divine power, I’ll live for 200 years and gain supernatural strength. This is something I could only dream of!"

Muttering to himself, William flipped out of bed, rushing toward the divine login pod, which occupied about a third of the room.

Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.

"Don’t worry, brother, I’ll help you live out those 200 years." He shouted excitedly before diving into the pod, closing the door behind him and lying down, ready to get started.

William softly spoke: "Start login procedure."

"Starting procedure..."

"Please close your eyes, relax, and don’t resist."

"Ding..."

"Welcome to the world of the gods."

When William opened his eyes again, he found himself in the divine domain he had opened.

He was now like a spiritual being, floating steadily in the air, feeling a constant flow of power entering his body. William knew this was the power of faith, but he didn’t focus on it.

Instead, he looked down at the land below him. It was vast, with a central mountain whose peaks stretched into the distance. At the foot of the mountain to the east was a large lake.

A stream meandered down the mountain, flowing into the lake and splitting into several smaller branches that spread out into the distance.

The remaining flat region was entirely covered by an ancient forest, with plants that were much larger and sturdier than ordinary plants.

William immediately sent out his divine sense to scan the entire divine domain. The domain was only 10,000 square kilometers in size, with high humidity. Life here was primarily composed of insects, with some small mammals as well.

William shuddered slightly and quickly descended to a patch of open ground two kilometers away from the lake.

"Thank goodness, the core familiar is still alive."

William looked at the center of the clearing with joy. A large mound of earth stood there, and red-headed ants, the size of a fist, were coming in and out of the giant ant nest.

Relieved that his core familiar had survived, William felt a weight lift off his chest.

There was a time difference of about a hundred times between the real world and the world of the gods. Over twelve hours had passed in the real world since the previous day, but in the world of the gods, nearly fifty days had already gone by.

Based on the data in his memory, William knew that ninety percent of demigods failed to ignite their divine fire and become full gods.

Among them, thirty percent failed during the new divine domain protection period, with most of them dying due to the extinction of their core familiars.

In the classes he remembered, there had been cases of domains where no plants could grow due to the harsh environment; sudden weather changes that the familiars couldn’t adapt to; familiars being neglected and dying, etc.

William had been worried that his core familiar might have died as soon as he entered the divine domain, but fortunately, the ants had managed to survive and even developed into a full-fledged ant kingdom after fifty days without his intervention.

He scanned the entire ant nest with his divine sense and opened the smart panel. This was one of the functions of the divine login pod, which would load a smart assistance system to help new demigods manage their divine domains more easily.

A translucent blue screen appeared before William’s eyes.

Name: William

Level: Demigod

Divine Fire: Not ignited

Divine Essence: None

Divine Mark: None

Divine Traits: Environmental Adaptation, Gene Adjustment

Divinity: 1 point

Divine Power: 0 points

Faith Power: 7,000,000

Core Familiar: Red-Headed Giant Ant (mutated), New species not yet named

Familiar Count: 1 Queen Ant, 200 Worker Ants, 4,000 Larvae

William’s eyes widened with joy. Before he transmigrated into this body, his core familiar had been the red-headed giant ant, a normal creature with no familiar talent. The divine trait was only environmental adaptation.

But now, his familiar had mutated, and his divine trait had added "gene adjustment."

William thought for a moment and concluded that the mutation of his familiar and the change in his divine traits must have been influenced by his transmigrated soul.

The environment of the divine domain, the awakened core familiar, and the divine traits were not entirely randomly generated. Everything in the domain was influenced by the creator, including their memories, emotions, beliefs, personality, subconscious, and soul.

Such changes were rare after the divine domain had stabilized, but since the original William had been a top student, he had learned about these rare cases in his memory.
