Chapter 1: The Three Wheels of Fate
Lin Chen opened his eyes to an endless expanse of white, a place devoid of sound and form. It felt as though time itself had stopped. Before him stood three towering wheels, each glowing with an aura of power and mystery.
A deep, ethereal voice echoed from the void, neither male nor female.
"Welcome to the Realm of Domains. Humanity has been chosen to transcend its limits. Each of you shall become a Domain Lord, the ruler of your own reality. Before your journey begins, you must spin the Three Wheels of Fate to determine your destiny."
The wheels pulsed with light. The first was golden, the second crimson, and the third a tranquil blue.
"The first wheel determines your talents, the second your providence, and the third your cultivation path. Each grants three spins, and you may keep all results. Step forward and claim your fate."
Lin Chen hesitated, his mind racing. "So, this is how it starts," he muttered. Gritting his teeth, he stepped forward to face the first wheel.

The First Wheel: Talent
The golden wheel shimmered with countless runes, each representing a unique talent. Words like "Heavenly Spirit Root," "Infernal Flame Body," "Spatial Mastery," and "Divine Battle Soul" flickered briefly before vanishing.
The voice spoke again.
"Spin the Wheel of Talent. This will determine the foundation of your strength and your domain's abilities."
Lin Chen reached out, gripping the edge of the wheel. Taking a deep breath, he gave it a mighty spin. The runes blurred into a vortex of golden light, slowing after what felt like an eternity.
The wheel stopped, revealing:
"Talent: Infinite Expansion (Domain expands 10,000 times faster)."
Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat as the voice intoned:
"Infinite Expansion: Your domain grows exponentially, eclipsing all others in size and resource potential. Few can match the scale of your rule."
His lips curled into a grin. "This alone makes me a threat to everyone."
The voice urged him onward. "Spin again."
For the second time, Lin Chen spun the wheel. The runes blurred, then stopped abruptly:
"Talent: Emperor of wealth(Loot generation +5000%)."
Lin Chen's eyes lit up as the voice explained:
"Treasure Seeker: Resources, treasures, and rare items will naturally appear within your domain. The more you cultivate, the greater your rewards."
"Perfect," Lin Chen muttered. "Power and wealth."
He spun the wheel a final time, anticipation building. The wheel slowed and revealed:
"Talent: Combat King (Battle prowess +5000%)."
Lin Chen felt a surge of energy flow through him as the voice declared:
"Combat King: Your strength in battle is unparalleled. You possess natural mastery of all weapons and combat techniques, allowing you to dominate on the battlefield."
A grin spread across his face. "With these three talents, no one will stand a chance."

The Second Wheel: Providence
The crimson wheel radiated an aura of destiny. Lin Chen approached, already feeling the weight of his choices.
"The Wheel of Providence determines the blessings and fates that guide your journey. Spin it to claim the fortunes that will shape your path."
Lin Chen spun the wheel with confidence. It slowed to reveal:
"Providence: Heaven's Chosen (Favor of the Heavens)."
The voice explained:
"Heaven's Chosen: The world itself will align to favor your rise. Destiny will bend to your will, but envy and opposition will follow."
"Favor from the heavens, huh?" Lin Chen muttered. "I'll take it."
He spun the wheel again, this time landing on:
"Providence: Unbreakable Will."
The voice continued:
"Unbreakable Will: No mental attack, illusion, or soul suppression can sway you. Your resolve is your shield."
Lin Chen nodded in approval. "Good. I won't have anyone messing with my head."
For the third spin, the wheel glowed brighter than before. It stopped at:
"Providence: Infinite Fortune."
The voice grew solemn.
"Infinite Fortune: Wealth, opportunity, and allies will be drawn to you like moths to a flame. However, fortune invites danger. Survive, and you shall reign supreme."
Lin Chen clenched his fists, feeling the invisible energy wrap around him. "Let the danger come. I'm ready."

The Third Wheel: Path
The final wheel glowed with a calming blue light, its surface swirling with possibilities. Lin Chen approached, knowing this was the most crucial choice.
"The Wheel of Path determines the cultivation method that will shape your journey. Spin to reveal the path you will follow."
For the first spin, the wheel slowed to reveal:
"Path: Flame Ascendant."
Lin Chen frowned. Fire-based cultivation? It wasn't bad, but it didn't suit him.
He spun again, and this time the result was:
"Path: Thunder Monarch."
Lightning cultivation—powerful but not his style. "One more," Lin Chen muttered.
For the final spin, the blue light flared, engulfing the wheel. When it stopped, the result was unlike anything before:
"Path: Sovereign of Infinite Domains."
The voice resonated with power.
"Sovereign of Infinite Domains: You are destined to master the art of creation and spatial manipulation, ruling as the ultimate Domain Lord. Your domain shall become the foundation of your strength, unparalleled in growth and power."
Lin Chen smirked, his earlier hesitation gone. "That's the one."

The Journey Begins
The voice spoke one last time, its tone filled with finality.
"Your talents, providence, and path have been chosen. You are destined for greatness, but your journey will not be without peril. Prepare yourself, Domain Lord, and claim your place in the Realm of Domains."
The white void shattered. Lin Chen felt himself falling, his body burning with newfound energy. As he plummeted toward an unknown world, one thought filled his mind:
"With these powers, I'll dominate everything in my path."
