The King of Black Fog

You were born.

A dozen years later, you began making your first life choice—filling out your high school entrance exam application.

Your grades were decent, and your mindset stable. You chose the top-ranked school as your first choice, the second-ranked school as your second, and for your third choice, you picked the fourth-ranked school.

Your parents and teachers looked at the form you filled out, each expressing different opinions, yet they all felt it was fine, even commendable—ambition, coupled with a basic level of security.

The high school entrance exam finished, and your results came out; you didn't score enough for your second choice but far exceeded your third choice.

You attended the fourth-ranked school, where you met your first, second, and third loves...

Several male friends, who would become friends with you for decades.

In school, you would all go to internet cafes together to play "Dungeon and Warrior," where Blood Frenzy was your favorite skill; because of reading novels secretly, the teacher asked you all to write a self-reflection; the dormitory noise at night, leading to being punished to stand at noon, not allowed to nap the next day.

Three years like this, the college entrance exam, and you got into a second-tier university majoring in accounting...

Wait a moment.

Is there a possibility... that your third choice was the third-ranked school?

Time rewinds.

You were born.

A dozen years later, you begin making the first choice in life, filling out your high school entrance exam application...

Your grades are still decent, and your mindset stable, but for some reason, you didn't leave yourself any leeway when filling out your choices.

Your teacher looks at your application, glances over it, and asks if you want to reconsider, to apply for the first, second, and fourth schools.

The teacher's suggestion is very good, meant for your benefit, but you insisted on your decision.

You got into the third-ranked school.

In this school, you met a new girl, stayed with your first love, and played "League of Legends" in internet cafes with friends.

You believe your Sword Saint is invincible in the Platinum Division, evenly matched in the Diamond Division, needing teammates to give chances above the Diamond Division.

The college entrance exam came, and you barely met the cutoff for some 211 universities.

Lying on your bed, with a laptop on your knees, holding a thick book listing the code for every major in each institution.

Is the school more important, or the major? Your parents think the major is more important, so you chose the best major in an ordinary first-tier university.

Now in this university...

Wait, is there a possibility you entered a 211 university you could get into, and switched majors in college...

Except for inevitable death, life is all about chance, hence filled with various possibilities.

The current state of survival of every person is just an accident. Any change in any life decision could have you waking up in a completely different school, company, or even family.

The ring ship releases dazzling golden light.

The space within the golden light's coverage is set into motion by numerous members of the Divine Race using instinct, beginning to spin faster and faster, soon turning into a large spinning wheel.

The vortex newly born in this dark universe starts choosing possibilities anew.

In a sense, they are summoning the "vortex" from another space, to replace their vortex like plucking a puzzle piece from another picture and fitting it into the current universe.

Some conditions can't change.

Among all the possibilities, the people inside the "vortex" at this moment can't change.

Among all possibilities, there must be Divine Clan members performing the "Great Shift of Possibilities" at this moment, which can't change.

Even with these two limitations, the possibilities are still endless.

The vortex has begun, and those of the Divine Race are also within the vortex, unable to precisely choose their fate.

Once the vortex stops, everything will be different.

In the previously empty darkness, a vibrant planet appears, intersecting land and ocean, each occupying about half.

From the universe, the planet's surface is covered with green and deep blue, with some white line-like elements above, which are clouds.

The planet hangs like a beautiful marble in the dark deep space.

"What is... going on?" Tina looked around and then at herself in shock.

The prominent figure and extremely powerful battle armor disappeared, replaced by primitive clothing made of animal skins and fabrics.

"Bloodthirsty Worm?" Kert uttered the new name for the "Huan Clan."

The name given by the Divine Will Great Wall.

In this puzzle piece replaced from the Void Space, at the early stage of war between Alien Clan and Divine Will people, the Divine Race joined the battle, causing Alien Clan to fall and had to launch seed ships to various Life Planets.

Inside the seed ship, there were incubation chambers maintained by an intelligent system.

As long as one incubation chamber avoided liquidation, the Huan Clan wouldn't become extinct.

The seed ship landing on this originally nonexistent Life Planet took a hit from an enemy ship's Energy Cannon while fleeing, almost destroying all the incubation chambers.

The babies shaped by prenatal education received special attention from this shot, and also the early education system of the ship itself.

This system is capable of teaching the Huan Clan babies Huan Clan history, combat skills, and sufficient knowledge to construct a ship before their birth.

This Energy Cannon shot was perfect, a seen "excellent" possibility by the Divine Race among countless possibilities.

Only a few embryos survived.

Among these embryos, very few each relied on a can of nutrient solution to barely develop into babies.

Among these babies, a very few relied on what could be called the life's instinctive will, almost impossibly crawling out of the cultivation tank.
