Chapter 1: Awakening Day

Breaking News! The most dazzling school flower from the next class failed to awaken! She couldn't even establish the lowest-tier ordinary civilization!"

"What?! Are you serious?"

"That's the top student of our No. 7 Middle School! The most promising candidate to forge an extraordinary world! And she just… failed?!"Hey! At this stage, academic performance means nothing..."

The classroom buzzed with nervous chatter as students anxiously awaited their turn. The atmosphere in Lanjiang City's Seventh Middle School was tense, especially in Class 3-4 of the senior year, where a group of teenagers gathered, discussing the shocking news in hushed voices.Sitting by the window, Lin Mo withdrew his gaze from the outside world, exhaling softly.

Even after living in this strange world for eighteen years, he still found it awe-inspiring.

Here, upon reaching adulthood, every individual was granted a once-in-a-lifetime chance—to forge their own world, breathe life into it, and ascend as a supreme creator.

A World of Gods

In this reality, everyone had the potential to become a god.

Some awakened fantasy civilizations, where mythical beings soared through the skies and shattered galaxies with a mere flick of their hands.

Others forged immortal cultivation worlds, where beings achieved eternal life, transcending mortality to become celestial legends.There were even those who established Warcraft civilizations, summoning monstrous creatures whose mere presence could shake the heavens.

However, not everyone possessed the talent to create something extraordinary.

Most people were born with mediocre aptitude, and the worlds they opened were ordinary civilizations—weak, stagnant, and devoid of potential. These worlds could only serve as resource farms for stronger civilizations, trading materials in exchange for survival.Yet, even that was considered an achievement worthy of admiration.

And today was Awakening Day—the most pivotal moment in every senior high schooler's life.

A successful awakening meant a ticket to greatness. If one's civilization reached the extraordinary level, their fate would skyrocket overnight, receiving the school's and even the country's direct support.

But failure?

It meant a lifetime of mediocrity, a future forever locked in the mundane

The Awakening Begins

As the murmurs settled, the classroom door creaked open.

A middle-aged man in a neatly pressed suit strode inside, carrying an intricately carved crystal. Its diamond-like shape radiated a soft, mesmerizing glow, illuminating the entire room.

It was the Boundless Boundary Stone—the key to their destinies.

Li Ping, the homeroom teacher of Class 4, placed the stone on the podium and cleared his throat.

"Silence, everyone!" His voice carried authority, instantly quieting the room.Today is the long-awaited Awakening Day. We've practiced this ritual over a dozen times, so I won't waste words. The process is simple. I'll call your name, and you'll step forward to awaken your world."

He lifted the attendance sheet and read the first name.

"Chen Yuan!"

A bespectacled boy sprang from his seat, rushing to the podium with a mix of anticipation and nervousness.

"Do you want to extract world coordinates?" Li Ping asked, pointing at a black box. On Awakening Day, not everyone succeeded in opening a world.

To boost success rates, the school provided pre-verified world coordinates, leading to existing yet unexplored dimensions. These worlds were usually ordinary civilizations with little room for growth—but they were safe and easy to bind.

Most students opted for these coordinates rather than risk complete failure.However, some declined the offer—either because they were wealthy and had already purchased high-level coordinates from the black market or because they were so confident in their abilities that they sought to create a powerful world from scratch.

Chen Yuan, however, was neither rich nor particularly talented. He gulped and nodded.

"I'll take the coordinates!" .He reached into the black box, pulling out a slip of paper. Eyes fixed on the sequence of numbers, he burned the coordinates into his memory.

"Good." Li Ping nodded. "Now, place your hands on the Boundless Boundary Stone and project your consciousness into it. Locate the world you drew and initiate the binding process." But remember—you only have ten minutes. Your current spiritual strength is weak. Stay in the Boundless Boundary Sea any longer, and you'll suffer irreversible consequences. Whether you succeed or fail, return immediately."

Chen Yuan gulped and nodded. His trembling hands rested on the luminous crystal.

The moment he made contact, a soft radiance surged from the stone, enveloping his body.

A New World is Born

The classroom held its breath.

Five minutes passed.

Suddenly, Chen Yuan's body jolted. His eyes snapped open, shining with disbelief and euphoria.

"I did it! I succeeded!" He nearly jumped in excitement.

Li Ping chuckled. "Good job. What kind of world did you awaken?"

But he already knew the answer.

The vast majority of students—over 90%—could only establish ordinary civilizations. Less than 10% could open high-tier civilizations. And extraordinary civilizations?

They were as rare as phoenix feathers and dragon scales.

Chen Yuan beamed.

"An ordinary civilization… a primitive world!"

As expected.

Still, for someone who had just awakened, it was a moment of immense joy.

Li Ping nodded approvingly. "Primitive worlds may be undeveloped, but they have strong, resilient inhabitants. If nurtured properly, they will attract interest from higher civilizations."

Chen Yuan nodded vigorously and returned to his seat, his chest swelling with pride.Around him, whispers of awe and envy filled the room.

"He actually succeeded..."

"Even though it's just an ordinary civilization, he's still a Creator now. He's already left us behind!"

"Ugh, I'm so jealous! I'd trade ten years of my roommate's lifespan to open a world!"

"Haha, if I fail, I'll have to inherit my family's business and spend my whole life making money… How boring!".While some students prayed for success, others grew increasingly anxious.

Li Ping glanced at the list and called the next name.

"Wang Bing!"

Another student stood up, his face pale with nervousness.

The Awakening continued.

And soon, Lin Mo's turn would come.

The moment of truth was drawing near.

Would he succeed?

Or would he, too, be forgotten as just another failed dreamer?.
