Everyone is transported to the myriad realms battlefield, awakens a Lord Core, recruits troops, builds a territory, and competes with the myriad races for a path to godhood.
Chen Xuan waits eighteen years for the Lord Awakening that will finally change his fate.
Seeing others awaken rare cores and epic talents, he can't help hoping he might be one of the lucky ones too.
But then...
[Lord Core: Common.]
[Territory Trait: Diligence.]
[Effect: Territory residents' gathering efficiency +5%.]
A common core, a common trait, and an initial force of just five of the weakest militia.
Just as Chen Xuan prepares to accept reality and start building from scratch, golden words appear out of nowhere, visible only to him.
[The Ascension of All Things has begun!]
[Common militia can ascend into Azure Edge Sword Cultivators!]
Chen Xuan is stunned.
Militia can become sword cultivators.
What about farmland?
[Common farmland -> Spirit Field!]
What about arrow towers?
[Common arrow tower -> Flying Sword Tower!]
What about barracks?
[Common barracks -> Sword Cultivator Dojo!]
Warhorses, mines, equipment, city walls...
As long as it belongs to his territory, anything can ascend!
While other lords are still congratulating themselves for recruiting a squad of elite knights, behind Chen Xuan stands an army of cultivators, swords flying beneath their feet.
Years later, as the myriad races gaze up at the supreme Immortal Court spanning the heavens, only one question remains.
"Why is even a single blade of grass in this guy's territory an immortal herb?"
It's alright, you can watch it.
