# ANOTHERWORLD God’s Path was a mysterious game that appeared on the blue planet 20 years ago. Only 1 million slots were opened every month. Once a person became a player of the game, they would gain superpowers and become stronger than normal people. … Ling Yi was able to activate the Super Mutation System after becoming a player. From consumables to divine weapons, he was able to mutate everything. He was even able to mutate a bunch of cheat-like powers when he maxed out his potential. When he mutated the +1 luck talent, it became a cheat-like power, Probability Reversal, where he could reverse a 10% possibility to a 90% one. If an item only had a 0.1% chance of dropping, then it would be 99.9% for him instead. When he mutated the True Eyes, he got the Eye of Truth, another cheat-like power that not only allowed him to see the hidden stats, but also the information of items. Other than those two, he also had other powers like the Malevolence Manifestation where he could turn other people’s evil intentions into narration, and the Intelligence Reduction Light which reduced the intelligence of his target. A year later, Ling Yi, who had achieved titles such as the Fastest Player to Level Up, First Maxed-level Player, and Strongest Man, was in one of his many interviews. “Actually, I…”

John, who had been framed and wrongly imprisoned, was finally released. His five-year jail time had fostered his hatred toward the son of the Waters Conglomerate, Niel. However, John, who had no connections, could not do anything about it. When he had almost lost all hope while accompanying his girlfriend who was in a vegetative state thanks to Niel, he suddenly realized that there was a search bar right before his eyes! This search bar was just like the search bar in Google Chrome! After a long silence, John tried to type a line into the search bar. "How to accomplish a perfect crime without leaving any mishaps that will cause the death of Neil Waters?" Immediately after that, a line of words appeared on the search bar: "On March 19, 2021, at 3:29:19 PM, on the trash can at the intersection of Louis Street, place a Lincoln brand pencil that is 3.5 cm in length, with a 1 cm³ base area, and weighs 2.8 g. There will be a series of accidents that will result in Neil's death in a car accident!"

Foo, a bright young man that happens to be a computer genius, who excels in life by taking shortcuts when possible. If life was a game, he would definitely pick the easiest mode. Exams in school? Just read all the books once, and make sure you don’t forget the contents. Looking for a job? Make sure everyone around the boss knows just how perfect you are for the job. Having others bragging about your excellence is more trustworthy and gives plausible deniability. Quiz time? Let me just start my special search engine's voice recognition. Competing in soccer? Aw, how unfortunate, the opposing team 'somehow' got their clothes filled with itch-inducing powder, leading to a walkover. Playing a FPS game? Well, lets just have my own mouse driver software get some headshots while I watch a movie. It’s perfectly legit, as it just speeds up the response time so that it clicks before I even get to the computer. Gambling sites and online casinos? Data-mining, number-crunching and image recognition! By utilizing computer knowledge, solving problems is easy! Some might get jealous, but hey! Just be like me, and use your brains for once! However, in the modern era, the gangsters and other shady businesses are moving their turfs towards the internet and gaming circles. What happens when they realize that Foo was a threat to their profits? Well, no suspense here, they killed him. That’s the end of story... if you are to believe the god that greets him after his death. However, can this story get a fresh new start when Foo somehow ends up in a game-like medieval fantasy world? Or will the lack of modern tools, like his beloved computers or other modern conveniences, cut his story short yet again? ------------------------------ Also, thanks to SageDrunkKitty and Remteldanmarkius for proofreading the synopsis! Any errors still there are their fault! The fact that I might not have listened on them does not automatically make it my fault, okay?

Lin Feng transmigrated to an ancient fantasy world and became the leader of a small sect. He also activated the "Wonder Building System"! As long as the people in the future believed the events that happened in the wonders, then everything would become reality. Thus, Lin Feng gathered the power of his sect and created the Skyreach Azure Sword, leaving some words behind on the sword. "Qingtian Sect, the holy land for cultivating sword techniques. All of its disciples are geniuses in the way of the sword. Its sect master is born with a sword constitution and with a swing of his sword, can part the heavens and slay gods." On that day, a miracle happened in the Qingtian Sect. Lin Feng instantly awakened the sword constitution and comprehended the almighty sword will.

The Qingtian Sect suddenly became the holy land for cultivating sword techniques that everyone strived toward. Lin Feng left a sculpture behind in his second wonder. "Qingtian Sect, surrounded by the spirit veins of the nine dragons. Its ground is connected to the spirit springs and is blessed by heaven and earth. Countess other sects make their pilgrimage here." On that day, the mountains around Qingtian Sect rose to form the shape of nine dragons surrounding the sect. Heavenly lotus flowers bloomed all around the sect and the spiritual energy in the area was so thick that one might think they were in a heavenly realm. As more and more wonders got uncovered in the future, the people of the future world were shocked to discover that there really was an unparalleled divine dynasty in this world!
