Synopsis

(Ensemble cast · Western fantasy · world creation · epic · players arrive · protagonist never takes the stage, remaining purely in the background)

After unexpectedly acquiring an ancient book, Chen Jiu becomes the Creator.

With enough Creation divine power, Chen Jiu can do anything.

There are only three ways to obtain Creation divine power.

First, the world periodically repays him with Creation divine power. The stronger the world, the greater the reward.

Second, whenever an epic, world-shaking event takes place within the world, he can also gain a certain amount of Creation divine power.

Third, whenever a living being dies, it naturally transforms into Creation divine power. The more powerful the being, the greater the gift it leaves behind.

After giving it some thought, Chen Jiu, a man who loves a good time, decides to change the fate of this world.

And so the extraordinary game Fantasy World descends upon the entire world, and all of humanity is inevitably drawn into it.

But before the official launch, Chen Jiu, still in search of a laugh, introduces many variables into the world.

For example, several players who log in ten thousand years early.

Players who log in seven thousand years early and have a chat group.

There are also players who log in at random times.

And beta testers who log in three thousand years early.

As the world continues to ascend, Chen Jiu looks back and realizes that he now stands at the pinnacle of all ages.

The Mythic Era: Glorious Days has ended!

The New Era: Dark Age has ended!

The Age of the Gods: Gods Walk Among Us has ended!

The Age of Hope: Blood-Crowned Hymn is now being serialized in grand fashion!

Very good, excellent, highly recommended, absolutely fantastic. A true behind-the-scenes story, an ensemble piece. Aside from those behind the scenes, no one is a permanent protagonist; they are merely protagonists of their era. An era doesn't have just one protagonist, but rather a multitude of individuals who lead it forward.

A really good book! I'm looking forward to the three sages becoming the first gods. I've even thought of names for them: the God of Light and Spirituality, the God of War and Glory, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom. 💕

First of all, the highlight is that the logic is very reasonable and the story is smooth and self-consistent. It seems like any book can be praised like this, but there aren't many books that are truly logically self-consistent. I have rarely seen such a smooth and fluent novel.

It's a really good Western fantasy epic ensemble piece. I finished it in one go and I'm looking forward to the public beta. But I really don't understand why the protagonist is always worried about being discovered every time he appears. As the creator god, what could possibly be discovered about him?

Awesome! I hope the three sages survive to the end and become the strongest besides the protagonist! From the ancient nobility to the glorious era of the Human Alliance, then a sharp decline into the dark age of despair, the progenitor of vampires.

What attracted me most was the novelty of the subject matter, narrating the entire historical development. I don't know if there's a concrete framework later on, but based on the current plot, I think the logic and plausibility are excellent.

The subject matter is quite novel. The glorious years section does indeed have an idyllic feel, but the second part, the Dark Ages, doesn't quite fit. "Epic" would be a better description. Various mythical creatures appear, and the seven "Chosen Ones" from different races and factions cooperate and fight, while the newly born world confronts the remnants of the old era—it truly feels like an epic. All races flourish... Please keep updating! I can't read without your books, thank you so much! 🥺

I preferred the story of the first generation of three transmigrators: the Forgotten Witch, the Radiant Sage, and the Dawn Sage. Each of the three sages possessed their own unique charm, and together they founded the ideal world's human alliance. However, the second generation of seven after their departure was quite underwhelming.

It's hard to imagine that such a wonderful book only has a 6.8 Rating. It's so unfortunate that more people can't see it. Although it can't compare to the legendary "I'm a God Just by Blowing the Wind" in history, it's still a perfect book to read when you're looking for something to read. The plot is captivating, with each twist and turn adding to its brilliance.

It's great! [I'm full] Personally, it's exactly my style. Behind-the-scenes stories should be purely behind-the-scenes, with occasional appearances. Constantly appearing in the background would just make it a pseudonym story. As long as the pacing is maintained, it's bound to become popular. After all, there really aren't many high-quality behind-the-scenes stories these days, and this one is a gem. Finally, good luck to the author!!! 💕
