Woke Up to Find the Game I Made Came True

The long-desolate and fractured Divine Realm began its revival with the emergence of the Eternal City.

Apart from the Infernal Demon Gods—who remained imprisoned in the Abyss while serving as food for the Kraken after their failed invasion of the Emerald Forest—the Voidlings, beings who drew power from knowledge, emerged from their prolonged seclusion, no longer fearing the weight of wisdom.

Elves awakened from the Emerald Dream, each reborn anew from the blossoms of the World Tree.

Among the human populace, natural-born Lightbearers began to appear, leading the oppressed masses against the tyranny of the old nobility and warlords. Winds of change stirred as new duchies took root.

The Abyssal Sea, once lifeless, returned from the crevices of the Infernal Realm, its swirling tides now teeming with diverse deep-sea races.

Even above the once-floating Sky City, a new island formed from the coalesced remains of a dragon graveyard now hovered, sustained by spatial magic. At its heart, a dragon egg, forged from condensed soul energy, slowly gathered vitality.

Across the Divine Realm, every race shed their self-imposed limitations, gradually reclaiming their former glory.

Upon the divine throne of the Eternal City, Ye Bai had sat for over two months.

Now an A-rank psychic in reality, she no longer required sustenance, sustaining herself solely on cosmic energy. Her focus was entirely devoted to "expanding" the Divine Realm's capacity—a task far from simple.

The Divine Realm and the Myriad Worlds were no longer mere programs that could be paused and modified at will. Linked to the Starnet, the Myriad Worlds had no concept of "server maintenance."

Of course, with her administrator privileges, Ye Bai could forcibly "shut down" the game world, kicking all players offline. But her authority wasn't absolute—she, too, was bound by the system. To disconnect others, she would have to log out herself.

In essence, Ye Bai was like a gateway to the game world. If she entered, others could follow, and vice versa.

Thus, even seated upon the divine throne with access to the administrator console—the very core of the game world—her capabilities were far more limited than in the age of traditional computing.

Perhaps due to the Starnet's influence, any changes she made through the console had to adhere to the game's existing rules.

She couldn't alter player data, accelerate the Divine Realm's recovery, or modify the preset expansion rules.

Under the original "Shattered Pantheon" expansion, the Divine Realm had to expend energy to construct the Celestial Stairway—a dungeon called the "Void Corridor" across the Myriad Worlds. Players who cleared its floors would be ranked, with the top 100 from each server earning entry into the Divine Realm via the Well of Origin.

But the Void Corridor required players of at least third-tier advancement. Currently, the highest-level players in the Myriad Worlds were barely above Level 50, still far from their third class upgrade. Spending the Divine Realm's dwindling energy to create such a dungeon now would be a waste.

Moreover, the Divine Realm was only just emerging from its decline, incapable of sustaining the energy costs for dungeons across countless servers.

Faced with these constraints, Ye Bai decided to flip the script.

If the original expansion allowed players to enter the Divine Realm, why not send the Divine Realm's NPCs into the Myriad Worlds instead?

This was well within her current authority.

By linking players to Divine Realm entities and expending a set amount of energy as a "transport fee," NPCs could cross over—effectively transferring data from the Divine Realm to the Myriad Worlds.

And conveniently, every player already had a built-in connection to the Divine Realm: the Seed of Genesis, bound to each account upon creation.

Of course, the stronger the NPC, the more energy their "descent" would require.

But… who said the Divine Realm had to foot the bill?

High-tier NPCs were rare and valuable assets in the Myriad Worlds. Those capable of crossing over were already formidable, effectively acting as temporary hires for players. All they needed was a "salary" paid in resources.

No lord-class player could resist such an opportunity. Even adventurers would jump at the chance—these NPCs were all third-tier or higher, with diverse abilities perfect for roles like bodyguards, skill trainers, or territory advisors.

Combine universal accessibility, resource costs, and randomized summons, and you get a familiar gameplay loop from Ye Bai's era—

Gacha.

The Myriad Worlds already blended RPG, adventure, and city-building. What was one more mechanic?

If it worked, why not stitch it in?

...

[Congratulations to Ruilan City for becoming the second territory to upgrade to a city!]

[Congratulations to Lofei City for becoming the third territory to upgrade to a city!]

Over two days, players across the Myriad Worlds watched as the second and third-ranked factions on the lord leaderboard advanced to Level 7, transitioning from towns to full-fledged cities and entering a new phase of development.

Under normal circumstances, this would be a celebrated milestone. Players from two cosmic-tier civilizations hadn't strayed from the optimal path—focusing on acquiring school affinities in the three months since constructing their libraries.

But compared to the "top-ranked" White Night City, which had reached Level 9 two months prior, the achievement felt… lackluster.

This wasn't for lack of effort, efficiency, or luck on the part of the two great civilizations. The issue was simple: the map had limits.

No matter how skilled Ruilan and Kein Federation players were, they couldn't scour the Myriad Worlds for the sheer volume of rare and legendary resources Ye Bai had accessed to bypass restrictions and purchase advanced knowledge from the three major schools.

Compared to the Divine Realm, the Myriad Worlds operated on a lower tier. High-tier resources weren't just scarce—many top-tier materials simply didn't exist there.

Moreover, Ye Bai's ability to achieve that wasn't solely due to the power of money. The connections provided by Anita, his advanced historian subclass, the bonuses from the "Godslayer" and "Legendary Figure" titles earned by defeating the Serpent Demon Lord, and a little assistance from [Deception] all combined to help him bypass the inevitable accumulation period required for school inclination.

For quite some time, players active in White Night City hadn’t seen Ye Bai appear.

However, before departing for the Divine Realm, Ye Bai had already made arrangements for his territory. The city’s development proceeded smoothly, with Felix, the highest-level NPC, now strong enough to stand on his own and lead the territory’s warriors in capturing resource points.

Blaze had also finally broken through his bottleneck last month, advancing into the third-tier profession range of levels 60 to 80, significantly boosting his strength.

In addition, the well-established industrial chains and the few high-tier professionals who had attended Nao’s intermediate supernatural knowledge classes had produced numerous new inventions during this period, furthering their professional progress.

The territory’s academy continued to nurture talents and accumulate deeper knowledge, steadily building the foundation to rival that of major NPC cities.

What had once been a mere seed, White Night City had now grown into a flourishing tree, capable of independently weathering risks and crises even in Ye Bai’s absence.

Of course, no factions were causing trouble either—most were too busy upgrading their own territories, eager to claim the resource points that White Night City had long dominated.

After observing the output of White Night City’s various shops, the Star Alliance civilizations had naturally realized the immense benefits of resource points. They were now eagerly preparing to construct Void Catchers. For player factions, the Void Rifts were far more valuable than ordinary NPC towns—not only did they provide resources, but they were also excellent leveling grounds.

Just as players were engrossed in leveling up and dreaming of entering the Void Rifts, a server-wide announcement suddenly rang out.

[The Divine Realm has descended! All players may summon Divine Realm champions using the Seed of Genesis or the Tree of Genesis!]

As if worried players might miss it, the unexpected announcement repeated three times.

What was the Divine Realm? And what did "summoning Divine Realm champions" mean?

After a moment of stunned silence, every online player instinctively checked their inventory for the Seed of Genesis or the Tree of Genesis planted in their territories.

Sure enough, upon opening it, they found a new function added to this bound item: [Divine Summoning].

Selecting the function revealed two options:

[Spend 1,000 energy for one summon]

[Spend 10,000 energy for eleven summons]

Though interstellar players had never experienced the charm of "ten-pulls, pity systems, or miracle single pulls," they unanimously found the cost outrageous: "1,000 energy for one summon? That’s practically robbery!"

In Ten Thousand Realms, almost all supernatural resources had energy value, and players were already familiar with the concept. The Seed of Genesis’s dungeon refreshes required filling an energy gauge, and other applications had been seen in quests and teleportation arrays.

White Night City’s specialty, Origin Energy Crystals, had the highest energy conversion efficiency among all supernatural resources—yet even summoning once required five rare-grade crystals, enough to buy a decent piece of equipment for players at their current level.

But the player base was never short on spenders, especially after so much time in Ten Thousand Realms.

Faced with the new feature, most faction-backed lord players immediately went for an eleven-pull.

The next moment, accompanied by a radiant glow, eleven indistinct figures appeared in the summoning players’ consciousness.

These figures varied in shape, their features obscured, but some were wreathed in lightning, others wreathed in flames—hinting at their unique powers.

[Please select a Divine Realm champion to summon. Current character level (53). Total champions summoned: 2]

As players made their choices, powerful Divine Realm NPCs descended across worlds, summoned beside them in bursts of energy visible only to their summoners.

"Greetings, summoner."

The Divine Realm champions greeted their summoners with varying demeanors—some polite, some reserved, others friendly or cheerful.

As the Divine King and administrator, Ye Bai couldn’t alter player data from the control panel, but he could extend his influence to all NPCs in the Divine Realm. This added a layer of perception: to the summoned NPCs, players were temporary contractors in the "new world," offering rewards in exchange for reasonable assistance.

Meanwhile, every player who attempted summoning stared at the third-tier (or higher) Divine Realm champions before them. After a brief daze, the realization hit:

In Ten Thousand Realms, each tier was a steep barrier. Many third-tier NPCs wouldn’t even glance at players without reason—yet now, they had one at their command, even if temporarily!

"Gather every energy resource we have—now!"

Unaccustomed to such a spectacle, the interstellar players went wild.
