"Ahhh… ahh… f..uck…"
Opening his eyes, Ji Chen cautiously surveyed his surroundings.
Though there was nothing to see, he could feel it—endless emptiness stretched in every direction.
A chill crawled up his spine.
One… two… three…
His heartbeat quickened. Panic surged, clouding his thoughts.
Where am I? What is this place?
Just then, a faint blue light flickered before his eyes.
Through blurred tears, he struggled to focus. He wiped at his face and leaned forward.
A panel shimmered into view—transparent, glowing, unreal.
[ World Creation System ]
Before he could react, a soft beep echoed, followed by a calm mechanical voice.
[ Voice recognition activated ]
[ Ownership verified ]
[ All system controls unlocked ]
[ System Admin: Ji Chen ]
[ Congratulations, host. You have been chosen as the god of this universe. ]
"…God?"
Ji Chen's brows furrowed. He prided himself on being rational, intelligent. The revelation was absurd. After a long silence, he exhaled and forced a chuckle.
"Fine… I'll play along. What are the rules?"
The blue light pulsed. A holographic whiteboard appeared out of nowhere, words writing themselves across it.
[ The World Creation System is exactly as it sounds.
You will be creating worlds. ]
[ You are currently in Zone C-19A—a lifeless zone. Think of it as a blank canvas, where you are the painter. ]
"…Why?"
[ Think of it as a lucky pick. ]
[ All that's left is to create a command for your system panel. Once that's done, you'll officially become a God. ]
Ji Chen's throat tightened. After a long pause, he nodded.
He raised his hand. At once, a radiant halo appeared behind him, growing brighter and larger by the second.
The light expanded until it formed a divine ring—his godhood.
[ It has been completed. Once again, host, congratulations on becoming the new God. ]
[ Thank you for using the System—and good luck on your journey. ]
"Wait—why are you leaving? Aren't you the system assistant?"
[ Yes and no. I am only the tutorial assistant.
My role ends here.
The rest of your journey will be guided by another AI, which will unlock once certain conditions are fulfilled. ]
[ For now, you must walk alone. ]
[ System settings reset.
To obtain full ownership over this system, please open the Title section. ]
Ji Chen hesitated, then tapped the floating panel. His eyes widened.
[ These are titles a god uses to anchor their existence.
There are currently 1,669 God Titles available to choose from. ]
[ Initiating system reward. ]
[ As the first deity born in this empty universe, the system shall grant a Gift Pack. ]
Within seconds, an item appeared in his inventory. Ji Chen eagerly opened it.
Inside were twenty-six God-King Rank Titles, each unique, each tied to specific laws.
Above them hovered an even greater list: twelve Primordial Rank Titles.
"Can I create my own title?" Ji Chen asked.
[ Yes, host. You may grant yourself a unique title.
As the first deity born, your title will become exclusive to your existence. ]
The lists collapsed into a single blank cube. An empty space invited him to write.
[ Click here to enter your God Title ]

[ Title ]: ???
[ Rank ]: ???
[ Concept ]: ???

Ji Chen stared at the cube, deep in thought. Then, with sudden clarity, he pressed [ Enter ].
A brilliant golden light erupted from the void, fusing with his spirit, resonating with the very essence of the cosmos.
At this moment, Ji Chen existed only as a soul, yet his being transformed.
For ten million years, energy condensed, refining and reshaping him.
[ Assimilation complete. ]
[ You have now become a full god—in body and spirit. ]
[ For more information, please refer to the User Manual. ]
When his consciousness returned, the emptiness was gone.
In its place stretched a vast, star-filled universe—his universe.
Excitement surged through him as he opened his panel.
