----------
Within the sanctum of my divine domain, I sat cross-legged in my meditation chamber, letting my consciousness spiral inward to the nascent core of my second godhood. The divine wisdom core pulsed faintly at the center of my spiritual sea—a new sun in the infinite sky within.
It was still faint, barely a spark compared to the mighty beacon of my God of Humanity position. But that was good. At the "god officer" level, the core would not draw attention from those higher up in the divine hierarchy. Shielded by my divine consciousness, swaddled in layers of subtle immortal energy and the deepest wards I could construct, it was utterly hidden—an untraceable ember.
Here, in secrecy, I could work.
I exhaled, clearing my mind. With everything set, it was time to forge the first system—the very foundation of my plan to uplift humanity across the myriad lower worlds.
What form should the artifact take? I let the question linger, letting my mind drift through memories and possibilities. Should it be a jewel? A tablet? A voice, a whisper in the night? Should it appear as a scroll, a blade, or an ethereal flame?
After much deliberation, my thoughts returned, inevitably, to the Book of Wisdom I had once forged in Douluo Dalu. It had been my proudest creation—a treasure that condensed knowledge, processed information, and provided analysis. But it had also been too… material. Too physical. This new world-spanning system would need to be different—unbound by form, capable of reaching any who deserved it.
A spiritual artifact, then. Not something of flesh or stone, but pure spirit and immortal energy. Yet, in honor of its predecessor, it would resemble a book—a tome of ever-shifting pages, wrought from light, information, and pure wisdom.
But its functions must go far beyond the original.
Database. Processing. Analysis. Yes, these were essential. But to be a true system, it needed more: a status panel for each user, tasks and missions to reward effort, a real-time measure of both individual and civilization-wide progress. Rewards—yes, knowledge as a treasure, practical guidance as a prize. A task panel, challenges to overcome, and a "humanity progress" bar that tracked the rise of each world's civilization, visible only to its chosen user.
I considered the stories from my past life, the tales of transmigrators blessed by mysterious systems: how those artifacts guided them, rewarding innovation, encouraging benevolence, and sometimes issuing dire penalties for mistakes. This system, too, would need some kind of AI—a rudimentary intelligence capable of answering simple questions, offering guidance, even conversing with its chosen user as a companion.
But I must be cautious. If the system was too powerful, it could draw the attention of the world's guardian god officer. So, I carefully tuned its power level—making it a pseudo-divine artifact, strong enough to be a miracle for mortals, but subtle enough that its arrival would feel no more than a ripple of fate, not a shockwave to shake the heavens.
For day-to-day use, the system would draw on local energies: spiritual power, magic, whatever force the lower world used. Only in emergencies or when truly necessary would it tap the immortal energy of my hidden wisdom core—never enough to mark itself as divine in origin.
There was one more crucial feature: selectivity. The system must be able to search, through subtle resonance, for humans with genuine wisdom, empathy, and comprehension. There were plenty of brutes and muscle-bound warriors among humanity in the lower worlds; I needed architects of civilization, not mere conquerors.
Connection: I wove a fine thread between the system and the wisdom core. It was a lifeline, a backdoor—allowing the system to request help, transmit data, or even relay warnings to me if anything went wrong. But it would never compromise the wisdom core's secrecy.
Days turned into weeks, then months. Time in the divine realm flowed gently; below, centuries might have passed already. I poured myself into the system's creation, forging it with everything I had learned from the manual and my own experience.
The Core Structure:
Spiritual Tome Appearance: A spectral book that appeared in the user's mind, opening pages made of light, runes, and flowing data.
Database and Knowledge Storage: Every scrap of knowledge I had amassed—including everything from the Book of Wisdom, all my research, all my manuals—embedded as rewards, milestones, and guidance.
Processing/Analysis Engine: Capable of analyzing problems, suggesting solutions, and interpreting complex scenarios. As civilization advanced, it could unlock more powerful analysis and simulation capabilities.
Status Panel: Allowed the user to see their own skills, talents, physical and mental state, and a measure of their "civilizational influence."
Task and Mission Panel: Automatically generated tasks and quests relevant to the world's current needs, rewarding progress and innovation.
Humanity Progress Bar: A civilization-wide tracker, updated in real time, showing the overall state of humanity's development in that world.
AI Companion: An intelligent, gentle, but sometimes stern guide—able to answer questions, give hints, and even offer comfort or encouragement during dark times.
Knowledge Sharing Network: Every system I created would quietly share discoveries and breakthroughs through the wisdom core, building a grand database of human achievement to be distributed as future rewards.
I worked with meticulous care, refining every function, testing each interface, and simulating endless scenarios. The system must be fair, balanced, and wise—it could not make things too easy, or rob humanity of struggle and initiative. But it should nudge, guide, and reward those who dared to strive.
For an entire divine year, I devoted myself to the work, emerging only occasionally to walk my gardens or rest beneath the great trees of my domain. My spirit burned with a sense of purpose I had not felt in centuries.
Finally, it was done.
Hovering before me in the meditation chamber, the artifact's spiritual form took shape. It was luminous, gently turning in the air—a great tome of living light, its pages inscribed with runes that shifted and danced, spelling out every conceivable field of knowledge. Deep within, the AI companion slept, waiting for its first waking thought. The system pulsed in time with the wisdom core, quietly drawing strength.
I smiled, feeling a rush of satisfaction.
This was it—the first "System of Civilization." Not just a tool, but a beacon, a teacher, a judge, and a companion. A gift from the God of Wisdom to the forgotten heroes of the lower worlds.
But there was more.
Before releasing it, I loaded in all the accumulated knowledge from the Book of Wisdom and my own research from Douluo Dalu—technologies, ethics, philosophies, mathematics, farming techniques, even tales and legends to inspire courage. All of it would be granted, piece by piece, to those who rose above the masses to guide their people forward.
I also programmed in a feedback loop: as mortals used the system, their breakthroughs, inventions, and wisdom would be recorded and quietly sent back to me through the wisdom core, so future systems could be improved.
It was time.
Selection: I reached through the veil between worlds, searching with the senses of my new divine position. Countless lower worlds spun in the void, but I chose a planet where humanity struggled still in darkness—disease and hunger everywhere, knowledge little more than oral tradition, petty chieftains squabbling over scraps of land.
I searched for the one who burned brightest—not in strength, but in spirit. A young woman who taught children in her village, whose hands healed wounds, who wept for the hungry and never ceased trying to find a better way. Her mind was sharp, her heart gentle, her wisdom a beacon in the darkness.
A test, I thought, and smiled.
With a whisper of immortal energy and a pulse from my wisdom core, the first system artifact descended. On the distant world, the young woman would dream of a radiant book opening in her mind, hear a kind voice speaking her name, and awaken with knowledge and purpose far beyond her years.
She would not know where the gift came from, only that she must use it well.
As the system crossed the veil, I felt a gentle connection—a spark of joy, hope, and ambition. My heart stirred.
This is only the beginning, I thought, watching as the system began its sacred work. Across the infinite tapestry of worlds, humanity's potential would finally be set free.
And as I sat alone in my divine domain, I felt, for the first time in countless years, that I had finally fulfilled the promise I made to myself, to my parents, and to all the worlds I loved:
To become the true God of Humanity. To be the light in the darkness. To guide, inspire, and protect.
The first system had descended.
The world would never be the same.
