Keshav leaned back in his chair, eyes fixed on the slowly rotating world map hovering above his Terminal. The new fragment had just fused with his world, its radiant faith-saturated energy spreading like veins through the terrain. Cities expanded. Civilization advanced. The once-chaotic lands grew more stable, more orderly—his world was evolving.
He didn't feel pride. Not like before. It was… routine now. Necessary.
Power. Always more power.
He opened the Creation Website, fingers moving with practiced ease. A few taps later, he reached the University Eligibility Criteria page. This was his next battlefield.
A bold message glowed at the top:
> TOP UNIVERSITIES ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
All applicants must meet at least ONE of the following by Graduation:
1. Pass the Final Exam at least 6 months early.
2. Reach Lower God Realm before the exam date. (This guarantees entry into elite classes.)
After seeing 1st option keshav was shocke as it was nearly impossible for normal gods to pass 6 months early as they would had only made their worlds for half of time as compared to their competitors.
But he also understood that there are many geniuses in this vast universe. He had confidence that with system he can fulfill this requirement. Even Timeflow in his world is 10 times the normal and it is permanent compared to time accelerators available in Creation Website. He hoped that other cheat lile items appear in System shop soon.
Keshav's gaze lingered on the second option.
Lower God.
He checked requirements for becoming a Lower god.
The page loaded with glowing golden text, old and absolute.
> REQUIREMENTS TO ASCEND TO LOWER GOD
To be recognized as a Lower God before graduation, the following conditions must be fulfilled:
1. Accumulate 10 Divine Power.
(Divine Power is manually refined from Faith Energy at a ratio of 10,000:1.)
2. Evolve Artificial Sun into a Real Sun.
(The Sun must emit divine-grade radiation and influence planetary ecosystems.)
3. Possess at least 5 additional planets.
(A minimum of 6 celestial bodies orbiting the sun is required to qualify as a solar system.)
4. Refine the World Core (Soul Core)
(Infuse your core with Faith and Divine Power, then relocate it into the Sun's heart. This fuses the core with divine fire, initiating full system evolution.)
Keshav's fingers curled tightly on the edge of the table.
So that was it.
Not just strength. Not just followers. He had to reshape his world into a solar system, create a real sun, birth multiple planets, and most terrifying of all—refine his own world core, the deepest representation of his soul, and throw it into divine flame.
He exhaled slowly.
"I'll need at least another thousands of fragments to expand space upto solar system level and support planetary formation," he murmured. "And ten million faith… for just one Divine Power."
A daunting path. A path where just being genius is not enough, it need resources, massive amount of resources. Not just world fragments as many gods can spare that many fragments for their child. But if one want to absorb that many world fragments within 1 year, it will destroy their world itself lets not talk about faith needed to saturate the fragments. Only true gods or higher can spare such resources and letting people in their vast world believe in their child, basically outsourcing the belief for them.
Keshav sighed "really power is everything in this world. They openly gave so much preferential treatment to childs of true gods and higher creating a Criteria for admission only they can fulfill and i believe that top class will only contain them"
This wasn't just about school rankings anymore.
It was about becoming something more than mortal—a force that could no longer be ignored, controlled, or threatened. A Lower God.
He opened a new tab and marked a list:
Faith Production Projects
Planetary Seeding Blueprints
Sun Evolution Techniques
The path ahead was near impossible—but not unreachable.
He smirked slightly.
"Time to prepare myself for godhood."
He leaned back in his chair, the glow of the Terminal reflecting in his eyes as a quiet hum filled the room. The words "Time to prepare myself for godhood" still echoed faintly in the air. But he didn't feel divine. Not yet.
He felt like a builder standing before an empty plain, blueprint in hand, knowing he had to construct a solar empire—alone.
The first step: faith.
Keshav opened the Faith Management Terminal and began setting up new cult structures. Multiple places were converted into holy sites. Every village received basic divine laws, stories, and rituals—each one fine-tuned to produce faith more efficiently.
Next: planets.
The Creation Website offered hundreds of base planet templates—from barren stone husks to lush, mana-rich worlds. He chose a basic terra-world blueprint and began adjusting tectonic activity, atmospheric density, and potential for life-bearing features. He couldn't afford luxury—he needed functionality. Every EP and Creation Point was accounted for.
He marked the first one: Verdantis-01. Designed to be a lush jungle planet, ideal for cultivation-based civilizations.
Second: Ignis-02. A volcanic world rich in fire elemental energy, useful for forging and future sun evolution support.
And so it went. Each one a part of a greater puzzle.
Finally, the sun.
This was the most difficult. Artificial suns were stable light sources. Real suns were living, divine engines of pressure and fusion. Transforming his artificial one into a real sun meant injecting divine laws, heat, and soul-bound structure into it—then fusing his own core into that nuclear heart.
His hand hovered over the refinement protocol for his World Core.
It pulsed faintly on the screen—a small, orb-like structure made of light and code, labeled Soul Core [Unrefined]. Infusing it with faith would make it volatile. Moving it to the sun would make it divine. One mistake… and he could lose everything.
But he didn't flinch.
Not anymore.
---
Keshav stood and walked over to the world hologram hovering in the center of the room. The projection of his current domain spun gently—a single sun, one main planet, scattered terrain in the void.
Soon there would be more. So much more.
He whispered, "I won't just be a student. I'll be a god just you all watch."
Then he opened the System interface and marked the goal.
