This was an era of immortals, an era of interdimensional conquest where countless worlds, universes, dimensions, and realms clashed and waged war within the Endless Void!
Entering this era, Wu Chi felt a surge of excitement, though he couldn't express it aloud. Instead, he clenched his fists tightly, waiting silently.
Finally, the Guide finished reciting the "Prayer to the Heavens."
The altar erupted with dazzling radiance, transforming into mist imbued with ancient Daoist rhythms. The mist lifted Wu Chi, suspending him in mid-air!
"The Heavenly Dao illuminates, and the human race prospers eternally!"
The Guide called out in a booming voice.
The next moment, the mist turned into streams of Daoist energy, pouring into Wu Chi's body.
A faint glow emanated from him, ethereal and dreamlike.
"This is…"
Wu Chi's eyes widened as he sensed a transformation occurring in his body. It was not only physical but also a fundamental shift in his soul and life essence—profound and indescribable.
Time seemed to blur. When Wu Chi regained his senses,
he landed gently back on the altar.
In his palm, a white orb of light had appeared.
It was the Heart of the Lord!
"A common-quality Heart of the Lord,"
the Guide announced calmly with a nod.
Common-quality Hearts were the most frequent result and hardly surprising to anyone.
Wu Chi's expression darkened as his thoughts spiraled into chaos.
The outcome was clear—
he was neither a destined prodigy nor some fortunate protagonist with a cheat system or wise elder spirit to guide him. He was simply one of the countless ordinary people.
Years of anticipation had led to such a cruel reality. Wu Chi's face turned pale, his arms stiff, and his fingers clenched tightly.
Seeing this, the Guide sighed slightly and offered some words of comfort.
"Don't lose heart. History has shown that even common Lords have ascended to immortality and godhood!"
"The Endless Void is full of infinite possibilities. Who knows? You might stumble upon a divine treasure the moment you descend and rise smoothly from there!"
Hearing this, Wu Chi snapped back to reality and gradually calmed down.
After all, he was a man of two lives and did not crumble under pressure like an ordinary teenager.
"Thank you," he said, bowing slightly to the Guide.
Without further words, Wu Chi clutched his Heart of the Lord and descended the Ascending Steps.
The other individuals queuing on the eighty-one steps watched Wu Chi with mixed expressions.
Still, none mocked or ridiculed him.
"Next! Chen Hai!"
Returning home, Wu Chi collapsed onto his sofa, gazing at the white Heart of the Lord in his hand with a bitter smile.
"Well, it makes sense. Not everyone can be the protagonist. My parents are alive, I don't have a beautiful younger sister, and after sixteen years, I haven't discovered any cheat ability. Even my Prayer to the Heavens yielded only a common Heart of the Lord."
"A mere speck among the vast sea of ordinary people—that's all I am."
Closing his eyes,
Wu Chi pondered in silence.
Suddenly,
his eyes snapped open, filled with ambition.
"But…"
"I must stand up again!"
"The Endless Void, the myriad worlds, the countless races…"
"This is an era of grand struggles and fierce competition!"
"I've been given a second chance at life. That alone is a blessing; there's no need for excessive greed."
"Besides, in this era of infinite possibilities, this Age of Universal Lords, what's the point of living if I don't give it my all?"
"Immense power, eternal life, countless beauties, unrivaled influence, limitless wealth!"
"I want them all!"
Sitting upright, Wu Chi shook off his dejection.
Without hesitation, he held the Heart of the Lord and activated it with a single thought. Instantly, the heart burst into dazzling light, transforming into streams of energy that merged into his body.
The next moment,
a virtual interface appeared in Wu Chi's mind!
[Lord]
[Territory]
[Descent]
...
The [Lord] and [Territory] functions were abilities granted by the Heart of the Lord, enabling the owner to digitize and manage everything while controlling all aspects of their territory.
As for [Descent], it was the gateway to the Endless Void, the starting point of the Lord's infinite journey!
"I still need to collect my school's reward later, but first, let's check my attributes. Hopefully, my territory trait is decent," Wu Chi muttered, opening the [Territory] tab.
...
[Territory]: Unnamed.
Owner: Wu Chi.
Level: 1.
Area: 200 square meters.
Structures: Small Hut (Level 1), Fence (Level 1).
Residents: 0.
Territory Trait: [Two Lives as a Virgin].
...
Before descending into the Endless Void, all Lords started with the same basic territory attributes: 200 square meters and two initial structures.
Wu Chi's main concern, however, was the territory trait.
"Two Lives as a Virgin!? What the hell is this?"
Wu Chi's face darkened in disbelief.
...
[Two Lives as a Virgin]
Quality: Common.
Effect: +10% to all attributes of female residents within the territory.
Description: The resentment of two lifetimes as a virgin manifests as this "unique" trait.
...
"???"
"What's wrong with being a virgin? And how does this become a territory trait?"
Wu Chi felt a strong urge to cough up blood.
He had often heard that territory traits could be bizarre, with no two being alike.
Among them, there were always some odd ones.
For example, one Lord had a trait called [Poison in the Dung], which caused all feces produced by residents to become highly toxic. That Lord had used this trait to amass wealth by selling poisonous dung, earning the title "King of Toxic Crap."
Compared to that bold predecessor, Wu Chi's trait seemed much more normal.
"Well, +10% to all attributes is decent, but if only it didn't restrict it to female residents…"
Despite his disappointment, Wu Chi wasn't overly disheartened.
After all, with a common-quality Heart of the Lord, it was impossible to expect an exceptional trait.
Next, Wu Chi opened the [Lord] tab to check his personal attributes.
...
[Wu Chi]
Territory: Unnamed.
Race: Human.
Level: 1.
Physique: 0.9
Spirit: 1.5
Inventory: Mechanical Kidney
Description: The standard attribute for an average adult is 1.
...
The panel was quite ordinary, with the only standout being Wu Chi's high Spirit attribute, likely a result of his transmigration.
"Wait! There's something in my inventory?"
"Mechanical Kidney!?"
Wu Chi froze in confusion.
Every new Lord had an inventory slot,
but it was always empty at the start!
This was common knowledge—whether learned online or at school.
So why did Wu Chi already have an item in his inventory?
His heart raced as a single thought came to mind:
A Cheat Ability!
