Chapter 1: Supernatural Powers, from *Stellaris*
"Zhang Si, Class 11 of Theology, born with two divine realms, his destined companion is a half-human...without supernatural powers."
The boys and girls outside the Awakening Room couldn't help but sigh after hearing this: "What a pity. The area of the Divine Realm is twice that of an ordinary person, and its destined companion is an intelligent species. If it had supernatural powers, it could really challenge the Heavenly Capital First School."
"It's already quite good. Such a large area of divine domain can be rented out in exchange for resources, and future development will be much faster."
"That's true. Intelligent species have high potential and can always find a way out."
In the corner of the room, a chubby boy looked at Zhang Si as he walked out of the Awakening Room with envy. He nudged Liang Jiu, who was reading a book next to him, with his elbow and said, "If only I had two Divine Realms. I don't have any talent for fighting anyway. I just want to focus on production and selling some products so that I can live a comfortable life in the future."
"Fatty Pan, is this all you aspire to? You didn't say that before."
Liang Jiu put down the book "Three Years of Theory, Five Years to Godhood" and laughed, "Last time I heard someone say that he wanted to cultivate a hero unit from the human race's destined companion to make his father proud."
"A hero who farms is a hero too! Besides, your ambition is no less than mine; you're single-mindedly focused on becoming a god every day."
Just then, the staff member's voice rang out again, interrupting their conversation.
"Su Cheng, Class 2, Theology, born with a divine domain, his destined familiar: Dire Wolf, his supernatural power: Hundred Battles!"
The entire arena erupted in uproar. Dire wolves are inherently ferocious creatures, and countless battles have honed their exceptional combat skills.
Fatty Pan, however, was completely bewildered and asked in a low voice, "You've read a lot of books, what's the deal with this Hundred Battles?"
"Killing enemies is a way to replenish oneself. The more battles there are, and the more intense they are, the more likely the surviving members will receive bloodline improvements, allowing even beast members to grow at a rate comparable to that of intelligent species." Liang Jiu sighed, amazed that such a genius could emerge from a small Dragon City No. 2 Middle School. He wondered if he would have such good fortune when he awakened.
"Han Cui, Class 2 of Theology, born with a divine domain, her destined companion is a dog-headed man, without any supernatural powers."
"Theology Class 4..."
Soon it was Liang Jiu's turn.
"I wish you all the best."
Fatty Pan's encouragement helped ease Liang Jiu's tension considerably.
He was led into the awakening room.
A room with six blank walls, bright but without any light source.
"Liang Jiu, the awakening is about to begin. If you feel unwell, please speak up as soon as possible."
After confirming that everything was correct, energy began to gather in the room. Suddenly, Liang Jiu felt a darkness before his eyes. He felt as if he were floating in the Milky Way, surrounded by brilliant stars, but for some reason, the stars went out one by one in front of him.
He saw a cell divide for the first time, a fish come to land for the first time, a ship come to space, war break out in the universe, break out before his eyes, and a ship and a planet be destroyed by a beam of light.
Divine power began to surge into his body, flowing through his pulse and throughout his entire being, until finally, a strong heartbeat resounded.
He saw a monkey raise its head and look up at the sky for the first time.
When everything had calmed down, and Liang Jiu thought it was all over, three options appeared before him: [Ghoul Culture] [Stealing the Craftsmanship of Nature] [Evolutionary Hunter]
Liang Jiu was shocked. He had been in this world for more than ten years and always thought that becoming a god was the way back home, until now, a name from his hometown game appeared before his eyes.
Does this mean I have to choose an origin as my talent?
Liang Jiu tried hard to recall the characteristics of these origins in his previous life. If it was the most powerful in the game of his previous life, it would definitely be [Seize the Heavenly Craftsmanship]: sacrificing the lifespan of the leader in exchange for high modification of the entire race. However, in the current God Realm, the hero unit determines the upper limit of the race, which is not a good choice in the long run.
The "cannibalistic culture" is a trap; he doesn't want his followers to become undead creatures and lose their ability to reproduce independently.
Then we can only choose this one: [Evolutionary Hunter] (Adds a random phenotypic trait to this species after each round).
......
"Class 7, Theology, Liang Jiu, born with one piece of divine realm, destined companion: pure human, supernatural power... Bowen."
Liang Jiu walked out of the awakening room after listening to the announcement from the person in charge.
As expected, the talent from the stars couldn't be detected by the machines here; what was detected was the talent he was supposed to have all along.
"Not bad, Liang Jiu. You're a pure human. Although it's not combat talent, having it is better than not having it."
Fatty Pan was the first to rush over to offer his congratulations, helping the weak Liang Jiu to sit down.
"Now it's my turn to watch. I can't let my good brother down."
Half an hour later, Liang Jiu, who was resting in his seat, watched as the chubby boy walked over with unsteady steps, but he couldn't hide his joy.
"Although I lack talent, I possess two divine realms, and my destined familiar is..."
"Yes?" Liang Jiu played along, keeping him in suspense.
"You're a druid, a natural-born magician! Come on, I'll treat you to dinner today to celebrate us both becoming the cream of the crop."
Liang Jiu followed Xiao Pang out, but unexpectedly, he was blocked by a tall figure when leaving the room. The person who came was Huang Ba, who was also in theology class 7.
Before his awakening, Huang Ba and Liang Jiu were at odds, and Huang Ba often came to cause trouble for Liang Jiu. Now that he has awakened, he seems to have more confidence.
"Hey Liang, do you have the guts to have a divine clash with me?"
Liang Jiu sneered. He knew that Huang Ba was insisting that his human followers were weak in the early stages and that he did not have enough control over the divine realm. He wanted to provoke Liang Jiu into making a move, killing a wave of Liang Jiu's destined followers, and cutting off Liang Jiu's future.
Everyone knows how wicked his intentions are, but Liang Jiu knows he cannot do as he wishes.
Seeing that Liang Jiu ignored him, Huang Ba's aura surged, and he actually released his divine domain directly. White phantoms swam and formed in front of him, and he could vaguely see several giants wielding clubs and roaring in a desert.
Following Huang Ba's gesture, several white lines shot out from his divine domain, heading straight towards Liang Jiu, attempting to forcibly build a bridge between the two divine domains.
But to his surprise, the white lines formed by his divine domain could not advance any further after hitting Liang Jiu, as if they had hit an iron wall.
There are differences between divine realms, and so are the owners of those realms. Liang Jiu's decades of hard work had enabled him to skillfully control his divine power after awakening, while Huang Ba, who had also just awakened, could not possibly achieve an invasion so easily.
Since you're here, be prepared to pay the price.
As Liang Jiu began to manipulate his divine domain, a dark divine domain appeared around him. The white lines that reached out were cut off one by one, absorbed and devoured, and turned into nutrients to nourish the evolution of his followers.
Despite losing a portion of his divine power, Huang Ba felt a surge of resentment and wanted to intensify his invasion.
"Private fights are prohibited in this restricted area of the academy."
Finally, the academy director noticed the commotion and with a sharp shout, shattered Huang Ba's extended divine domain into countless points of light.
Seeing the person in charge walking towards him, Huang Ba knew his chance had been lost, so he left after uttering some harsh words.
"Wait, I have plenty of time to teach you a lesson."
......
"So what if he has a level three god as his father? He's acting all high and mighty." On the way back, Pan Xiaopang muttered to Liang Jiu, his teeth itching with anger.
"He'll probably cause you trouble again in the future. Do you need me to lend you a few druids to ambush him in the Divine Realm?"
"Don't worry, I have my own ways of dealing with him."
Liang Jiu appreciated Pan Xiaopang's good intentions, but magical creatures like druids were few in number and reproduced slowly. Any casualties would severely weaken Pan Xiaopang, and he couldn't risk his brother's future for his own benefit.
This matter still needs to be handled by Liang Jiu himself. He also wants to use Huang Ba to test the effect of [Evolutionary Hunter].
