This was an era where immortals existed, a great age of celestial beings vying for supremacy and races competing for dominance. Worlds, universes, dimensions, and planes collided in the boundless void—war!
Arriving in this era, Wu Chi felt a surge of excitement, but he couldn't express it aloud. He could only clench his fists silently and wait.
Finally, the Guiding Daoist finished reciting the "Prayer to Heaven."
The altar erupted in brilliant light, transforming into wisps of cloud, carrying ancient Daoist resonance, lifting Wu Chi into the air, making him levitate!
"The Heavenly Dao is clear, the Human Race shall forever prosper!"
The Guiding Daoist bellowed!
The next moment, the cloud transformed into threads of Daoist resonance, all pouring into Wu Chi's body.
A faint glow emanated, dreamlike and ethereal.
"This is..."
Wu Chi's eyes widened. He felt a transformation within his body, a change on the level of life itself, affecting both his physical form and his soul. It was profound and wondrous, beyond words.
He didn't know how long had passed before Wu Chi regained consciousness.
He descended from the air, standing on the altar.
A white orb of light appeared in his palm.
The Lord's Heart!
"A common-grade Lord's Heart!"
The Guiding Daoist's face remained calm, and he nodded.
Common-grade Lord's Hearts were the most frequent, nothing to be surprised about.
Wu Chi's face turned grim, his mind in turmoil.
The result was clear...
He was no prodigy, no one destined for greatness. He wasn't a "waste-turned-powerful" or an "old grandpa teaches me" type. He was simply an ordinary person, one of the countless masses!
Years of longing had led to this cruel outcome. Wu Chi's face turned pale, his arm stiff, his fingers clenched tightly.
Seeing Wu Chi's state, the Guiding Daoist sighed lightly and offered words of comfort: "Don't be discouraged. There are countless ordinary Lords in history who have ascended to immortality and godhood!"
"The boundless void holds infinite possibilities. Perhaps you've just arrived and encountered a legacy of the immortals or gods, destined for smooth sailing from the start!"
Hearing this, Wu Chi came to his senses and gradually calmed down.
He had lived two lives and wasn't like an ordinary teenager who would crumble and lash out in despair.
"Thank you."
Wu Chi bowed slightly, without any unnecessary words, he took the "Lord's Heart" and descended the Stairway to Heaven.
On the eighty-one levels of the Stairway to Heaven, those who were still in line witnessed Wu Chi's descent, their gazes varied.
But no one uttered a word of mockery.
"Next!"
"Chen Hai!"
......
Back home, Wu Chi lay on the sofa, looking at the white "Lord's Heart" in his hand, a hint of bitterness at the corner of his lips.
"Right, there aren't that many protagonists. My parents aren't dead, I don't have a beautiful sister, and for sixteen years, I haven't found any cheat codes. Now, all I've gotten from praying to Heaven is a common Lord's Heart."
"One of the countless masses, a mere speck in the vast ocean. I am but one amongst them!"
He closed his eyes.
Wu Chi pondered for a moment.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, his pupils filled with ambition.
"But..."
"I must pull myself together!"
"The boundless void, the myriad heavens and worlds, the countless races..."
"This is an exciting age, an age of great strife!"
"I've lived twice, which is already fortunate enough. There's no need to be too greedy."
"Moreover, in this era of universal Lords with infinite possibilities, what's the meaning of life if I don't give it my all?"
"Powerful strength, eternal life, countless beauties, invincible power, endless wealth!"
"I want it all!"
Wu Chi sat up straight, his despondency vanished.
He no longer hesitated. He grabbed the Lord's Heart, a thought passed through his mind, and the Lord's Heart instantly erupted in dazzling light, transforming into streams of light that penetrated Wu Chi's body.
The next moment,
A virtual information panel appeared in Wu Chi's mind!
......
【Lord】
【Territory】
【Descent】
......
【Lord】 and 【Territory】 were abilities of the "Lord's Heart," capable of assisting the owner in digitizing everything and controlling all aspects of the entire territory through the Lord's Heart.
As for 【Descent】, this was the gateway to the "Boundless Void," the starting point of the Lord's endless journey!
"I still need to go collect my rewards from school later. Let's see the attributes first. My territory's trait... hopefully, it's a good one."
Wu Chi sighed inwardly and opened 【Territory】.
......
【Territory】：Unnamed.
Owner: Wu Chi.
Level: 1.
Area: 200 square meters.
Existing Buildings: Hut (Level 1), Fence (Level 1).
Residents: 0.
Territory Trait: 【Two-Time Virgin】.
......
Before descending into the Boundless Void, all Lords have the same basic territory attributes. An initial 200 square meters and two buildings.
Wu Chi was primarily focused on the territory trait.
"Two-Time Virgin!? What the hell?"
Wu Chi's face turned black, feeling a bit of a headache.
......
"Two-Time Virgin"
Grade: Common.
Attribute: All female residents in the territory gain +10% to all attributes.
Description: The resentment of a two-time virgin has given rise to this "top-tier" trait.
......
"???"
"What's wrong with me being a virgin? This can be a territory trait?"
Wu Chi felt like vomiting blood.
He often heard people say that territory traits were bizarre and practically never duplicated.
Among them, some were always peculiar.
One person's territory trait was "Poison in Poop," meaning their territory residents' excrement became highly toxic. That Lord used this trait to sell poop and became rich, known as the "King of Toxic Poop."
Compared to that ancestor who dared to rule with poop, Wu Chi's territory trait was actually quite normal.
"All attributes +10%, if only there wasn't that restriction of female residents."
Wu Chi wasn't too disappointed.
A white Lord's Heart couldn't have a too powerful territory trait.
Then, he opened 【Lord】, ready to check his own attributes.
......
【Wu Chi】
Territory: "Unnamed."
Race: Human.
Level: 1.
Constitution: 0.9
Spirit: 1.5.
Inventory: Mechanical Kidney.
Description: Normal adult attribute standard value is 1.
......
A very ordinary panel. The only outstanding attribute was spirit, probably due to the transmigration. Wu Chi's spirit was much higher than an average person.
"Wait! There's something in my inventory?"
"Mechanical Kidney!?"
Wu Chi was bewildered.
Every newly born Lord had an inventory.
But all Lords started the same, their inventories were empty!
This, Wu Chi knew both from online sources and from what he had learned at school. The conclusion was the same!
Why... did he have an extra item in his inventory?
Wu Chi's heart pounded, and three words popped into his mind.
Cheat code!
