The Infinite Investiture of the Gods

In recent years, strange phenomena have appeared all over the world, and people have been vanishing without a trace...

Netizens joked: Spiritual qi revival is finally here!

Metaphysics experts said: With these celestial signs, the Investiture of the Gods is reopening!

Nonhumans said: The ten-thousand-kalpa tribulation is upon us once more. It is time for us to return to the mortal world!

Yet the first to awaken were neither the many branches of the Western gods nor the vast, ancient pantheon of Eastern immortals and Buddhas. It was the infinite worlds that existed in a different dimension!

Chen Yuan, a wage slave drowning in debt, witnessed a bizarre monster near his apartment complex one night and was forced into an Infinite Game.

Afterward, he realized something was a little bit wrong with his body.

Others awakened innate skills and received reward items in the Infinite Worlds. All he had was the unopened pocketknife he came with, and even cutting a carrot was a struggle.

He'd planned to lie flat and make it to the end, but his body had ideas of its own!

A newcomer to the game was chased by a monster and cried for help incoherently. Chen Yuan, another newbie and a total weakling, rushed forward in terror and knocked a walking corpse down with one punch.

A veteran student with nowhere left to run lay badly wounded, waiting to die. He unconsciously murmured an honorific title, and Chen Yuan, who'd been lying flat, sprang to his feet against his will and took down the tentacle monsters one by one.

One of the top three players on the Infinite Academy leaderboard was ambushed and trapped in a certain-death situation. He swore in fury that whoever saved him could have his treasured items and points. Chen Yuan heard about it from a long way off and came sprinting over, shouting, "Can I get the cash equivalent?"

At least this time, he was doing it of his own free will~

Later, the Infinite Worlds began to overlap with reality, and the entire world plunged into a dark apocalypse...

Chen Yuan: To hell with this! I just finished paying off my loan!

The furious wage slave waved his hand, rallied his allies, and declared war through a megaphone: "Fellow immortals, it's time to kick these rude guests out."

Before the dimensions overlapped,

they were destitute and drowning in debt, easy targets for anyone. Just surviving took everything they had.

After the dimensions overlapped,

they shattered the boundless starry river. Myriad ghosts submitted, evil spirits fled, and the three thousand worlds fell silent, awaiting the gods' return!

Reader's Guide:

1. Some settings are based on myths and legends, but many are original.

2. The evil gods are all made up.

3. The male lead has a split personality, but both personalities are him, so the contrast may be significant. The love interest appears much later.

Theme: Believe in yourself and face adversity without fear
