Back in the Academy…
Keshav opened his eyes, heart pounding with excitement. A tiny notification appeared.
> [1] Worshipper has been registered.
Divine Faith System unlocked (Dormant).
He grinned.
Nearby, his friendly rival, Shiven, leaned over and smirked. "Let me guess, you did something fancy with portals?"
Keshav laughed. "Maybe. I saw yours — fire meteors? Bit dramatic, don't you think?"
Shiven shrugged. "They built their first altar out of scorched wood. Drama works."
As the students compared divine acts, the system inside Keshav hummed silently.

Inside the System
The System had already scanned hundreds of techniques used by the students, but Keshav's Stellar Vein Scripture intrigued it. Quietly, it marked it as a High Potential Template and began simulating possible evolutions. Simultaneously, it observed the Chaotic World.
There, unlike any normal world, multiple energies were trying to fuse into primitive consciousnesses. Life was forming — not through guidance, but through chaos.
> "Unpredictable. But… promising," the System noted.
It glanced at its Calculate Ability — currently at Level 3 after the previous upgrades.
Each level amplified its processing power by 10×, and it was already operating at speeds unthinkable for normal entities. However, upgrading again now required a hefty 1000 EP.
> "Still insufficient," the System thought dispassionately. "But progress is steady."
The System then turned its attention to the project it had initiated.
---------
Inside the Chaotic World...
The System had executed an audacious move: secretly mixing and matching various cultivation, magical, martial, and technological techniques it had scanned from all students' worlds.
Using its monstrous calculation power, it ran billions of simulated combinations in mere moments, creating entirely new hybrid techniques.
Techniques that compressed space using martial arts breathing methods.
Cultivation paths that merged elemental affinities with quantum teleportation nodes.
Battle systems fusing biological evolution with divine faith absorption.
Each hybrid technique was unique, chaotic, barely stable — but they pulsed with raw potential.
With a simple command and 100 EP, the System injected thousands of these prototypes into different zones of the Chaotic World.
The System calmly processed the information. After deducting the 100 EP spent to seed techniques into the Chaotic World, it now had 56 EP left.
> "If any survive the madness... the results will be invaluable," the System mused.

Back in Keshav's World
Meanwhile, Keshav was unaware of the System's secret projects.
He sat cross-legged, observing the steady growth of his world. Tribes were developing rapidly, under the gentle push of Stellar Vein Scripture.
> Worshippers: 37
A faint sense of pride swelled in Keshav's heart.
Little did he know, deep within the unseen corners of reality, the System was sowing seeds of chaos, evolution, and future catastrophe — all for its hidden goals.

Teacher's Final Words for the Day
As the students finished setting their Divine Identities, the teacher smiled sharply:
> "Tomorrow begins your first Faith Management Assessment. You must show measurable increase in faith output within one week."
> "Prepare yourselves. The path to godhood is merciless to the lazy."
The lecture ended — the students left the hall, each carrying their own ambitions and dreams heavy on their shoulders.
And in the center of it all, Keshav walked steadily, a faint glint in his eyes.

Keshav's Room – That Evening
The door slid shut behind him with a faint hiss.
Keshav exhaled deeply as he stepped into his room. The events of the day — divine domain selection, clergy structuring, and the pressure of faith cultivation — still echoed in his thoughts.
> "God of Space… Voidwalker Sovereign… It actually sounds kind of cool."
He moved to his desk, waved his hand, and the terminal Panel flared to life.
This time, a new section pulsed gently at the edge of the interface:
> [Faith Management Interface – BETA Active]
Keshav tapped it. The screen flickered before a structured dashboard loaded.

Keshav grinned.
> "It's started. They've already begun believing..."
The interface also showed small animations of the tribes gathered under the night sky, pointing at constellations, etching strange patterns into stone altars. Some were seen performing rituals under the moons.
They were already attributing the power of their cultivation technique to a god.
To him.
> "I'll need to increase the influence — maybe use a miracle when faith builds up more. Something light, like answering a prayer..."
He scrolled down and found:
> [Miracle Slot – Locked]
Requirement: 1000 Faith Energy
He nodded. "Soon."
Eyes still on the interface he tapped his fingers slowly, thinking.
> "One day... they'll build entire civilizations in my name. But for now — baby steps."
He closed the screen with a small smile.
Tomorrow, he'd begin accelerating their spiritual framework. But tonight, for the first time, he truly felt it:
> He was no longer just a student. He was a god in the making.
