Chapter 1: creation system
Ding!
System Notification: You have been luckily selected by the creation system.
Please confirm immediately!
The sudden voice in his ear stunned Chang Kun, who was currently cooking noodles for a girl.
Chang Kun, standing at 185 centimeters, was considered quite tall.
With short hair, a white shirt, blue jeans, and black canvas shoes with white soles, he looked exactly like a vibrant youth who had just graduated from university.
He was also quite handsome, with a sharp and cold handsomeness to his features, sword-like eyebrows, star-like eyes, and a bright, spirited gaze.
But now, he was a bit confused by the situation.
What's going on!?
I was just cooking noodles for a girl, how did a System pop up?
By the way, what is this thing for?
Just as Chang Kun thought of this, his vision blurred, and a glowing screen appeared before him.
creation system!
Four large characters were particularly eye-catching.
Below them was a line of small text and a confirmation button.
Looking closely...
...it said: "Host, please confirm whether to become a Creator Candidate!"
What the hell? A prank?
But no matter how he looked at it, it didn't seem like a hoax!
Thinking this, Chang Kun reached out as if possessed and clicked the confirmation button.
Immediately, the System notification sounded again.
Ding!
System Notification: creation system bound successfully. Starting the Creator Candidate novice mission. Sir is about to head to the Void World.
Before Chang Kun could react, his vision blurred once more.
Then, he found his surroundings were all grey and hazy.
"Where is this? Where's the kitchen? I haven't finished cooking the noodles yet! Send me back right now!"
System Notification: This is the Void World, where nothing exists. Sir needs to create a perfectly functioning world here to become a true Creator.
"That sounds a bit confusing. Can you explain more clearly?" Chang Kunsaid dissatisfiedly.
"To put it simply, Sir, you cannot go back unless you complete all creation missions and promote from a candidate to a true Creator. Only then can you leave this Void World."
Hearing the System's blunt reply, Chang Kun exploded.
Damn it!
You brought me here but can't take me back? You're messing with me on purpose, aren't you!?
Chang Kun waved his hand and said coldly, "I don't care about your bullshit creation missions. Now, immediately, right this second, send me back to finish cooking those noodles."
"Sir, you are already a Creator Candidate now. You can create whatever you want. Why are you so obsessed with a bowl of noodles?" The System seemed somewhat speechless.
"True..." Chang Kun paused.
"Wait, no. I finally managed to pick up a girl. This isn't just about a bowl of noodles."
Chang Kun thought about it and felt something was wrong. He barked, "System, don't change the subject. Hurry up and send me back. My lifelong sexual happiness depends entirely on that bowl of noodles."
"..."
The System was stunned. After a long while, it said weakly, "Sir, your happiness is truly cheap. You must know that you are now a Creator Candidate. Creating people is an easy task."
"Therefore, you don't need to care about a weak Mortal woman at all."
"Because now, you can not only create worlds, but even gods, immortals, demons, and monsters. Whether they are women or men, they can be as beautiful as you want. So, just stay here and complete your creation missions with peace of mind."
Chang Kun heard this and asked in surprise, "That works too?"
"Of course," the System replied.
"That's great then. I'm definitely going to be this Creator Candidate." Chang Kun became excited.
Looking around, this grey space seemed boundless, with no distinction between up, down, left, or right, and no distinction between time and space. Everything was void and extremely quiet.
Chang Kun summoned the System again, and a light-based interface appeared before him.
This was the Creator System!
On the System, the instructions on how to create a world were very detailed, but they were different from what Chang Kun had imagined.
Whether it was creating a world or creating all things, everything required Power of Creation!
For the novice mission, the System automatically gifted 100 points of Power of Creation. Chang Kun had to use these 100 points of Power of Creation to create a qualified world to complete the mission.
"Sir, you can now choose what kind of world to create."
The System's voice sounded.
On the light-based interface, there were images of options: Honghuang World, Xianxia World, Technology World, Magic World, and so on... Chang Kun looked closely, and finally, his gaze stopped on the Honghuang World.
In the world he originally came from, many myths and legends were passed down, and these stories all had some connection to the Honghuang. Thus, he was quite interested in this Honghuang World.
"I've decided. I'll create a Honghuang World." Chang Kun nodded, having made up his mind.
The Creator novice mission begins!
First, Chang Kun used 30 points of Power of Creation to create Chaos. Chaos served as the cornerstone of a world; without it, the created world would soon be swallowed by this Void World.
Next, Chang Kun spent another 15 points of Power of Creation to divide the heavens and the earth, shaping the form of the world.
Then, he spent 5 points of Power of Creation to create Innate Spiritual Qi and injected it into the already fully shaped Honghuang World.
Finally, he used 20 points of Power of Creation to bring life to the Honghuang World. Spiritual Plants, divine trees, rushing rivers, vast oceans, and various Innate Beings appeared one after another.
Within the Honghuang World, life flourished, and the world began to operate.
Chang Kun still had 30 points of Power of Creation left, but since the Honghuang World had already been created, he felt the remaining Power of Creation was useless.
Leaning over to look at the Honghuang World, his eyes were like the Eyes of Heaven, watching every movement within the Honghuang World.
After the Innate Beings were born, they went through a period of ignorance before their intelligence finally awakened.
At the same time, conflict began... In Chang Kun's eyes, the flow of time in the Honghuang World was exceptionally fast. In the blink of an eye, tens of millions of years had passed.
The Innate Beings developed grudges against each other, and over tens of millions of years, they split into two major factions.
The Eastern Heavenly Immortal Faction!
The Western Myriad Demon Sect!
Finally, as the two different factions in the East and West developed, their hatred grew until a terrifying Divine War finally broke out!
In the Honghuang World, corpses littered the fields, and blood splattered the earth. Even the sky was reflected in blood-red. Countless powerful Innate Beings slaughtered each other, fighting relentlessly, their immense power destroying the balance of heaven and earth.
Ding!
System Notification: Due to Sir's improper management, the Honghuang World has shattered. Mission failed!
Chang Kun was stunned.
He hurriedly looked at the Honghuang World, only to find it riddled with holes and in tatters. Billowing Chaos Qi poured in, crushing everything, and all living beings were instantly turned to dust.
The entire Honghuang World had become a dead zone, with no life to speak of.
"Holy crap, that's it? This world is way too fragile, isn't it?" Chang Kunsaid in disbelief.
"Sir, you cannot blame the world's fragility. It is mainly because you only watched without intervening, allowing the various Innate Beings in the Honghuang World to do as they pleased, which ultimately led to its destruction."
The System responded as if explaining.
Hearing this, Chang Kun rubbed his chin and frowned. "System, do you mean I should restrain the actions of these Innate Beings?"
"Correct. Only with order can a world move forward; without order, a world falls into Chaos," the System replied.
These words made a lot of sense and gave Chang Kun great inspiration. After pondering for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up as he thought of a way to solve the problem.
"I understand. The world needs a Heavenly Dao to manage the balance of heaven and earth!
