"Isn't it almost our turn? Aren't you nervous, bro?"
Luo Luo looked at his cousin in exasperation.
"You've already called my name 800 times in my ear. It's just an awakening ceremony, what's there to worry about?"
"That's easy for you to say, but I'm still nervous! What if my followers turn out to be weak units, like dog-headed people? Aren't you worried?" Luo Xin turned to his sisters, Luo Lin and Luo Cai, and asked, "Aren't you worried?"
His two sisters simply covered their mouths and laughed, not answering Luo Xin's silly question.
Luo Luo just watched his cousin act foolishly.
"You really are hopeless. With our family's background, even if you draw the weakest slime, you can still be trained into a true god. Don't worry about that. Instead, think about what kind of divine position you can awaken; that's what really matters."
"Exactly! Luo Xin, learn more from your cousin and stop jumping around over trivial matters. You should know that there are many ways to acquire followers, but there's only one divine position for each person, and it's lifelong. This will determine your future heights. Why worry about weak followers when you should be concerned about your divine position? Are you really that foolish?"
"I'm telling you, Luo Cai, don't call me foolish! You just happened to be born a few minutes earlier than me."
"Ah, a few minutes is still early. If I were born a second earlier, I'd still be your elder sister, so call me sister!"
"Big sister, look at how Luo Cai is bullying me, and you're just letting it happen!"
Luo Lin laughed and said, "Alright, alright, it's almost our turn. You two stop fooling around. Luo Cai, don't always tease your brother. And you, Luo Xin, don't worry about your followers' weakness. If your awakening doesn't meet your expectations, once you become a demigod, you can let Dad switch it for you. It's that simple. Right now, the most important thing is to focus and awaken a good divine position. That way, your future path will be easier."
At first, Luo Luo was a bit nervous, but after the teasing from these lively kids, he felt more relaxed. Looking at his adorable younger siblings, he was filled with emotions.
Luo Luo was not a native of the Earth Source Continent. He came from a technologically advanced civilization—Earth. His usual hobbies included researching various high-tech technologies, such as giant robots, controllable nuclear fusion, and even star-destroying cannons and cosmic warships. However, by the time he crossed over, he hadn't achieved any breakthroughs; he often just discussed and debated these topics online. People like him are usually referred to as "amateur scientists." If nothing unexpected had happened, he would have had to rely on a few properties left by his parents to barely get by and live a muddled life. Little did he expect that one day, a rift appeared between the Earth and the Moon, and the Earth Alliance issued an end-of-days report, urging all Earthians to build spaceships to survive by entering the rift.
Naturally, Luo Luo, classified as a Level 3 human, was unwilling. At least on Earth, he had a few properties to sustain himself, but if he boarded a spaceship, he would end up as a laborer. Being classified as a Level 3 human essentially meant he was of no use to human civilization, placing him at the lowest level.
In the end, Luo Luo simply gave up the opportunity to board the spaceship. "If I can't stay here, then I won't go. I'll remain on Earth, living and dying as an Earthian, vowing to coexist with Earth."
Of course, the outcome was not pleasant; Earth was shattered upon contact with the rift.
Just when Luo Luo thought his life was over, a miracle happened: the consciousness of Earth enveloped him and transported him to the Earth Source Continent, where he became the unborn child of Luo Zhi Yuan, the second young master of the Luo family.
When he realized he had become a fetus, he was quite confused. Fortunately, the technological core, a remnant of Earth's consciousness, protected him, allowing him to retain his memories.
After 16 years of growth, Luo Luo finally understood this world. It was a world where everyone could become a god. At the age of 16, everyone could awaken their divine position, expand their divine domain, develop their faith races, and conquer the heavens.
This was a highly developed and powerful civilization centered on faith, where everyone strived to become higher-level deities.
Achieving immortality was just a minor goal; becoming a true god or even a supreme god was the ultimate objective. However, the path was fraught with challenges, marked by death and warfare.
Luo Luo's fortunate circumstance was that he was born into a very powerful family of true gods. His grandfather, Luo Zhen Guo, was a ninth-level true god, on the verge of breaking through to the level of a supreme god. His parents were also mid-level true gods, which meant he was born with a golden key.
The Luo family wasn't large, but their quality was extremely high. Among his relatives were his uncle Luo Zhi Yong, his aunt Luo Xin Lan, and his father Luo Zhi Yuan, all of whom were mid-level true gods. Generally, the spouses of true gods were also true gods, making the Luo family a well-known family of true gods.
Most importantly, Grandfather Luo Zhen Guo established the family policy early on—an elite policy. This meant that they did not pursue a large number of family members but instead focused on enhancing the strength of each individual member, nurturing all family members with care. This fostered a very united and affectionate atmosphere within the Luo family, avoiding the typical chaos found in large families.
Otherwise, given Luo Zhen Guo's current status, the Luo family should have easily surpassed a thousand members.
Some might ask, if the Luo family is so powerful, why don't they awaken their descendants in advance? This touches on a major research topic among the human elite. The reason 16 years is considered the age of adulthood is that children's bodies and minds are not fully developed before this age; awakening before then can cause irreversible harm to their bodies. Thus, the Earth Source Continent mandates that everyone awakens at 16.
Today marks the 16th year since Luo Luo arrived in this world. His awakening ceremony is about to begin. He looked at the technological core in his mind and felt a surge of confidence; he was unlike ordinary people.
"I wonder what kind of changes the technological core will bring me."
"Next, Luo Luo."
