"Mom, Dad, I'm home!"
Zhang Yi burst into the house in a hurry,
and the first thing he heard upon returning was his mother's teasing as she opened the door for him.
"Well now, my baby boy is home!"
"How did the Divine Realm awakening go today?"
"I heard you made quite a splash at the Divine Realm awakening ceremony today!"
At that moment, his dad, who was still in the kitchen,
first heard the sound of his son's return,
and then heard his wife teasing their son.
He decided not to come out, instead hiding in the kitchen and perking up his ears to eavesdrop!
Zhang Yi shook his head with a helpless smile. While taking off his shoes, he explained,
"Mom, your sources are way too good!"
"It's just that your son awakened a top-tier Divine Realm, that's all!"
"Oh! My son is amazing!"
"Hurry and tell your dad the good news!"
"Where is Dad?"
Zhang Yi walked into the house and sat on the sofa, not even putting down his schoolbag, as his mom's questions came one after another.
Just then, hearing his son's words, his dad came out from the kitchen and said to Zhang Yi with a smile,
"Tonight I made your favorite braised small yellow croaker and boiled mutton!"
"The small yellow croaker is Four-star quality deep-sea small yellow croaker, and the mutton is from a Three-star quality alpine black goat. They're both dishes you usually love the most!"
"Alright! Thanks, Dad!"
Hearing his dad mention these two dishes, Zhang Yi could feel his mouth starting to water uncontrollably.
"Hey, wait a minute!"
"Why aren't either of you asking me what the effect of the top-tier Divine Realm I awakened today is?
"Aren't you curious?"
His mom said with a smile,
"Oh, come on. It's because we have confidence in our baby boy, isn't it?
We believe the effect of the Divine Realm you awakened is definitely top-tier!"
At that moment, his dad, having finished cooking and carrying the dishes out from the kitchen, suddenly said to Zhang Yi with a serious expression,
"Remember!"
"The effect of your Divine Realm is very important. You must never reveal it to anyone!"
"Don't tell anyone you don't trust completely. You must even be careful around your own relatives and friends!"
In this world, it wasn't unheard of for people to secretly destroy another's Divine Realm,
or for there to be items that could transfer a top-tier Divine Realm's effect to someone else's!
"Of course, with the Zhang Family's power, we can definitely protect you!"
As soon as his dad finished speaking, his mom piped up with a question.
"So, to satisfy our curiosity, hurry up and tell us what exactly your top-tier Divine Realm's effect is, hmm?"
Zhang Yi had been wondering why his parents hadn't asked about the effect of his top-tier Divine Realm since he got home.
It turned out they were just trying to whet his appetite, making him so antsy that he would bring it up himself.
"My Divine Realm's effect seems to be inherited from Grandpa's. The effect is [Evolution].
There's a 5% chance of producing an Upper Class individual and a 1% chance of producing a 'super' individual..."
After Zhang Yi finished explaining the effect of his top-tier Divine Realm, his parents both fell into deep thought.
"Around Chinese New Year this year, your grandpa seems to be returning to Blue Star from the war zone. You can ask him for advice then..."
"Mhm..."
...
Next, Zhang Yi's family sat down to eat. As they ate, he told his parents in detail about what had happened at school that day.
Zhang Yi described the top-tier Divine Realm he acquired at the Divine Realm awakening ceremony, as well as his Initial Clan.
But as for his Golden Finger,
Zhang Yi kept that information to himself.
As they talked and talked,
their conversation turned to the resources needed to cultivate his Divine Realm and Clan.
Suddenly, his dad's expression grew serious, and he said,
"Since you've turned 18 and have also completed your Divine Realm awakening today,
it's time we gave you the resources we promised, as well as the gift money we've been saving for you!"
After their earlier conversation with Zhang Yi,
they already knew that after coming of age and awakening his Divine Realm, their son was no longer the child who needed their protection at every turn.
That being the case, they just needed to stay in the background and provide their son with various resources with peace of mind.
They exchanged a look.
Then, his mother said, "The New Year's money we've been saving for you has now all been exchanged for resources you can use in your Divine Realm!"
"However, we didn't know what kind of terrain your Divine Realm would have, or what your Initial Clan would be,
so we only exchanged for half in Universal Resources!"
"We'll help you take care of the other half of the resources tomorrow, exchanging them for resources needed by the Wood Elves!"
"Take these three Universal Resource Cards for now!"
"Also, this Five-star Resource Card—[Well of Life]—is our coming-of-age gift to you!"
His mother gently patted Zhang Yi's hand and said softly,
"Son, we believe in you!"
"No matter the outcome, you are our pride."
His dad also nodded, patted Zhang Yi's shoulder, and said earnestly,
"Son, we are both so proud of you."
"Remember!"
"No matter where you go,
no matter what difficulties you face, we are family.
If you're out there and run into an enemy you can't handle, you come back to me.
And if I can't handle them either, then we'll go find Grandpa!"
Zhang Yi felt the warmth and support from his parents, and his heart filled with power.
...
After dinner, Zhang Yi returned to his room!
In this small, detached villa, Zhang Yi's room was on the second floor, in the easternmost corner.
The thing that took up the most space in Zhang Yi's room,
aside from the nearly five-square-meter bed, was the Divine Domain Connection Pod!
That's right, as someone with a Powerful Divine Being in his background, Zhang Yi naturally had a Divine Domain Connection Pod at home.
Divine Domain Connection Pods are quite expensive,
and for students who can't afford one,
there are cheaper Divine Domain connection helmets available as an alternative.
There's no significant difference in effect between the two,
it's just that the Divine Domain Connection Pod consumes less energy than the helmet, allowing for longer connections to the Divine Realm,
and it's also more comfortable to use.
As for the difference between the home version of the Divine Domain Connection Pod and the one specially provided by the school,
the gap lies in only one area:
it cannot be used to open a Divine Realm on its own.
This is also one of the regulations of the Blue Star Federation for human Divine Beings.
Only the Divine Domain Connection Pods controlled by the Federation have the ability to open a Divine Realm.
The Divine Domain Connection Pods sold elsewhere have had this ability... neutered.
As for whether other Powerful Divine Beings would object,
not really.
After all, with their power, they can directly use their own great Divine Power to help their descendants open a Divine Realm.
Furthermore, they are also beneficiaries of this Blue Star Federation legal system, so they would naturally protect this regulation themselves.
This rule exists more to protect the interests of the common people and maintain stability...

"Open Divine Being interface!"
