On the Canglan Continent, everyone who turns eighteen undergoes an awakening.
The awakening summons a mysterious Lord Space.
Ordinary people can only change their destiny by awakening a Lord Space.
If the awakening fails, one is destined to never gain "Lord Qualifications" for life.
They are relegated to being laborers, subjected to all sorts of exploitation by capitalists.
Since awakening is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for everyone.
This is an era of universal lords.
...
On the Awakening Plaza.
Zhou Yan stood among the crowd waiting for awakening, his gaze fixed on the mysterious awakening altar at the front of the plaza, his expression filled with excitement, as if he yearned for the awakening.
He was a transmigration, having miraculously survived a plane crash in his previous life and finding himself on the Canglan Continent.
Though the Canglan Continent was a modern metropolis akin to Earth, this world possessed supernatural abilities, namely the Lord Space.
The Lord Space was mysterious and extraordinary, brimming with spiritual energy.
Awakened individuals could obtain all sorts of mysterious items, and even cultivate to become immortals, by developing their Lord Space and building their territory.
Here, longevity was not a dream.
However, the Lord Space was also fraught with danger.
Because the Lord Space would, based on the lord's quality, spawn various monsters to attack the territory at any time. If they couldn't fend them off, the painstakingly built territory would vanish into nothingness, and all efforts would be in vain.
Many lords whose territories were destroyed, unable to bear the blow, chose to commit suicide in reality.
A white light flashed, and everyone below turned their gaze to the altar, filled with envy.
A scholar had successfully awakened a "Lord Space."
Although it was the lowest-grade white common "Lord Space," it still filled the unawakened students with envy.
Lord Spaces were classified by quality: White Common, Yellow Rare, Purple Epic, Orange Legendary, and Gold Divine.
The vast majority of people would awaken white Lord Spaces.
The higher the quality of the Lord Space, the more difficult it was to awaken.
Moreover, the stronger the monsters that appeared within a higher-quality Lord Space, the more challenging it was to completely defeat them and develop the territory.
"Senior High Class 3 (8) Zhou Yan! Student ID 120120120."
"Here!"
Upon hearing his name called by the teacher in charge of the awakening ceremony on the altar, Zhou Yan eagerly stepped forward.
Zhou Yan had waited eighteen years for this day. He strode resolutely towards the altar.
"Stand within the altar, close your eyes, and explore diligently," instructed the teacher in charge of the awakening ceremony.
Zhou Yan stepped onto it.
Then, the awakening teacher, holding a milky-white scepter, unleashed a holy radiance.
This was an awakening spell, usable only by cultivators of five-star power or above.
The altar erupted with a warm radiance that merged into Zhou Yan's body.
At that moment, Zhou Yan felt as if he had entered a void.
There were countless light spots, varying in color, but mostly white.
"These light spots must be the Lord Spaces. How beautiful! It feels like being in a sea of stars, like a comfortable rotation, so good!"
Zhou Yan had to seize the opportunity, using his soul to perceive these Lord Spaces and then acquire one.
A white light soon appeared above Zhou Yan's head.
"Just white," Zhou Yan observed the white light floating above his head, feeling a hint of regret.
But he quickly rallied.
Successfully awakening was better than not awakening at all.
Even though it was the most ordinary white Lord Space, as long as he developed it well, he might still achieve something in the future.
Just as Zhou Yan was coming to terms with it, a sudden anomaly occurred.
A colored light suddenly appeared beneath his feet, startling him.
"What... what is happening?"
"I've awakened another Lord Space? And this Lord Space is actually colored!"
Zhou Yan was extremely surprised!
He had never heard of anyone awakening two Lord Spaces, and what's more, this one was colored. He had never heard of anyone obtaining a colored Lord Space.
Could it be...
This is my transmigration cheat?
My cheat has finally activated!
Zhou Yan's heart was overjoyed, but the joy did not overwhelm his mind.
Zhou Yan knew this was his chance, and he had to hide it.
The light of the Lord Space was controlled by the user's will. Zhou Yan quickly manipulated the white Lord Space to conceal the light of the colored one.
"Even though it's a white Lord Space, you can still become a strong individual. Keep up the good work," the awakening teacher said.
"Thank you, teacher," Zhou Yan replied politely and then walked off the altar.
Envious gazes emanated from his surroundings, the honor of possessing the Lord's Heart.
...
After the awakening ceremony concluded, Zhou Yan headed straight home.
This was the only wealth his parents in this life had left him.
His parents in this life were also lords, but unfortunately, they had died within their Lord Space.
Closing the doors and windows, he finally had the opportunity to properly examine his Lord Space.
A white light shone from above his head, but beneath his feet, he stood upon a rainbow-colored auspicious cloud.
Each Lord Space possessed a unique talent attribute. He communicated with the white Lord Space in his mind, and a panel immediately appeared before him.
Every person who successfully awakened a Lord Space would have such a panel, so it was not surprising.
[Territory Name: Unnamed]
[Lord: Zhou Yan (Detailed Attributes)]
[Quality: Common]
[Territory Talent: Probability of Special Item Appearance +1%]
[Level: 0]
[Area: 10x10]
[Buildings: Thatched Hut (Level 1)]
[Villagers: 0]
Zhou Yan glanced at his territory's talent, a little surprised.
Special items were extremely rare and possessed immense power, being priceless. Many items were even unobtainable with crystals.
Crystals were the universal currency in this world, originating from the Lord Space, obtained by defeating monsters within the territory.
Even with a mere 1% increase in the probability of special items appearing, Zhou Yan was quite satisfied.
He quickly clicked on his detailed attributes.
[Name: Zhou Yan]
[Gender: Male]
[Age: 18]
[Race: Human]
[Nationality: Shen Long Kingdom]
[Level: 0]
[Strength: 0.5]
[Constitution: 0.5]
[Agility: 0.7]
[Spirit: 2.5]
[Power Realm: Uncultivated]
[Talent: None]
[Equipment: None]
[Skills: None]
The standard four-dimensional attributes for an adult were 1. Except for his spirit, which exceeded double the standard, all others were below par.
"A common Lord Space is rather ordinary. I wonder what my colored Lord Space is like."
He quickly tried to communicate with the colored Lord Space in his mind.
However, he found he couldn't access it.
This was because his colored Lord Space was a support-type Lord Space.
He would only be able to view it after entering the Lord Space.
