"Ye Yu, awakening successful. Divine Power... 10. Divine Domain area... 1 square kilometer."

Inside the Arbor God Temple, the voice of the Divine Envoy rang out.

Ye Yu was instantly stunned, a look of bewilderment appearing on his face.

What was going on?

How could his Divine Power and Divine Domain area be so... trashy?

Could it be because he was a transmigrator?

For a moment, Ye Yu found it hard to believe.

He was a transmigrator, having arrived from Earth three days ago.

This was a world where everyone had the chance to become a god, known as the World of Gods.

In the World of Gods, anyone who reached the age of eighteen could ignite their divine fire, open a Divine Domain, and become a god.

When he had first transmigrated, Ye Yu had been excited for quite a while.

Becoming a god meant possessing immense power and endless lifespan; how could he not yearn for that?

Moreover, in his memories, the original owner of this body was an out-and-out genius.

He was born with a natural affinity for gods, and at every annual god-worshiping ceremony, he had always been the most prominent figure, hailed as a seedling for a True God.

However...

The result of the awakening now had exceeded everyone's expectations.

"Ye Yu, do not lose heart. Divine Domain and Divine Power do not represent everything."

"Perhaps you will be able to activate a special race of Believers in a moment."

Seeing Ye Yu's dazed expression, the Divine Envoy standing nearby couldn't help but offer a word of comfort.

The Divine Envoys of Arbor God City had always thought highly of Ye Yu; after all, he was a True God seedling.

Even now, with his disappointing awakening results, the Divine Envoy had not yet completely given up hope on him.

After all, no one here had activated their Believers yet.

In the World of Gods, there were plenty of examples of those who started with trashy Divine Domains and Divine Power but managed to make a comeback by relying on powerful, special races of Believers.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yu nodded and silently stepped aside.

A short while later, all the youths present had completed the awakening ceremony.

Tens of thousands of people had participated in this awakening ceremony, but only a few hundred remained in the temple at this moment.

All those who had failed the awakening were led out of the temple.

From this point on, they would be reduced to the lowest existence in the World of Gods, becoming mere tools for gods to harvest for Power of Faith.

From this perspective, Ye Yu was still considered lucky; no matter how trashy he was, he had at least opened a Divine Domain.

"Ahem, the awakening ceremony is over. Next, I will guide you to activate your Believer race."

"The race of your Believers is of vital importance; do not take this lightly."

As the Divine Envoy spoke, his gaze swept over Ye Yu with a meaningful look.

The youths present felt a collective jolt in their hearts, growing nervous.

Awakening Divine Power and opening a Divine Domain still did not count as truly evolving from a mortal into a god.

One final link was missing—Believers!

Gods in the World of Gods relied on the faith of their Believers to elevate their divine status.

The more Believers there were, and the more powerful the race, the stronger the Power of Faith they provided to the god.

The faster a god could elevate their divine status, the stronger their power would become!

Therefore, the race of Believers was extremely important.

Standing in the crowd of gods, Ye Yu also wore a look of anticipation on his face.

He did not believe that he would be inferior to these natives.

As a dignified transmigrator, how could he possibly become a trash god?

"Alright, step forward in turn to activate your Believer race!"

As the Divine Envoy's voice fell, the massive statue of Great God Arbor erupted with brilliant radiance.

Immediately, a Light Screen coalesced in front of the statue.

"Touch the Light Screen with your palm and channel your Divine Power."

Seeing this, the Divine Envoy shouted lightly toward the crowd.

Hearing this, the group stepped forward one by one.

The first was a youth with delicate features and a resolute expression; he took a deep breath and reached his palm toward the Light Screen.

Ye Yu recognized this person.

"Xiao Gui!"

A name flashed through Ye Yu's mind.

Xiao Gui had never been particularly conspicuous among this group of youths.

While he couldn't be called a waste, in everyone's eyes, he was just an unremarkable wallflower.

Yet, during the awakening ceremony just now, he had stolen the entire show.

With 800 Divine Power and a Divine Domain spanning 1,000 square kilometers, he had leaped from a non-existent fringe player to the center of everyone's attention.

At this moment, even the Divine Envoy was holding his breath, his eyes fixed unblinkingly on the Light Screen.

Suddenly, the Light Screen trembled slightly.

Immediately following, a strange figure emerged from within.

It had the head of a dragon and the body of a human, covered in scales from head to toe, exuding a terrifying aura.

"Flood Dragon People!"

"It's the Flood Dragon People!"

The Divine Envoy grew excited.

Before his voice had even faded, the figure of the Flood Dragon person vanished from the Light Screen, replaced by racial information.

[Race]: Flood Dragon People race

[Potential]: A+

[Description]: The product of a union between the Flood Dragon race and the human race; possesses immense strength and is a born warrior.

The entire venue fell silent for a moment, and seconds later, gasps erupted instantly.

"Good heavens, it's actually an A+ special race!"

"A race with A+ potential has never appeared in the history of Arbor God City; Xiao Gui has a limitless future!"

"Incredible, he actually activated the Flood Dragon People race. Even among A+ tier races, the Flood Dragon People are top-tier existences. I'm so envious!"

"I'm so jealous; why wasn't it me who activated the Flood Dragon People?"

The surrounding exclamations were thick with bitterness.

A brilliant smile could not help but bloom on Xiao Gui's tense face.

"Good, good! I never expected you to be the true seedling of a True God!"

The Divine Envoy was extremely satisfied, his gaze toward Xiao Gui burning with intensity.

A True God seedling meant that as long as he didn't fall in the future, he could at least become a deity on the same level as Great God Arbor.

He even had a high chance of ascending to become a True God!

Such a genius would be a hot commodity in any Divine Kingdom.

Hearing the Divine Envoy's words, the smile on Xiao Gui's face grew even brighter.

Subconsciously, he turned his head and swept a glance at Ye Yu.

A sense of superiority welled up from the bottom of his heart.

That's right, you, Ye Yu, were indeed the genius everyone looked up to in the past, and everyone regarded you as the True God seedling, basking in infinite glory!

But so what?

The tides turn; now, I, Xiao Gui, am the one who commands the most attention.

Xiao Gui had no grudge against Ye Yu, nor was there any past enmity; in fact, the two of them had never even interacted.

However, everyone has dreams of being a genius.

In the past, Ye Yu's light was too bright, casting all his peers into the shadows.

Now, Xiao Gui had finally staged a comeback!

Young people are hot-blooded, so naturally, he couldn't help but compare himself to Ye Yu.

Feeling Xiao Gui's slightly provocative gaze, Ye Yu frowned.

However, he didn't have any overly intense reaction; he simply gave the other party a deep look before withdrawing his gaze.

"Ye Yu, it's your turn."

Just then, the Divine Envoy's voice reached Ye Yu's ears.

Hearing this, Ye Yu felt a jolt in his heart.

He walked up to the Light Screen, took a deep breath, and pressed his palm against it.

The moment his palm touched the Light Screen, a mechanical electronic voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

"Ding! Conditions met, God-tier Creation System activated!"
