The Age of Global Deities

The Age of Global Deities is a long science fiction web novel by Yixi Chengdao, serialized on Qidian and completed at roughly 2.3 million Chinese characters over more than seven hundred chapters. It is set in a future world where humanity, after long exploration, has finally mastered a mechanism of "deification": anyone can open a divine domain, cultivate vassal races, and develop believers to gain divinity, ignite divine fire, and condense a divine persona—even schooling revolves around how to become a qualified deity. The protagonist, Lin Xiao, is a transmigrator of ordinary appearance whose parents are only demigods. As the advancement assessment approaches, the cheat power dormant in him for years—the Creation Cube—finally activates, able to decompose, fuse, refine, and recombine resources, bloodlines, and skills that exist in card form. With this ability he starts from the least favored low-tier merman vassal race, gradually cultivating powerful combat species in his divine domain, the Sea of Gray Mist; he first distinguishes himself in the placement test and graduation assessment, then enters a top academy and embarks on a path of cross-plane conquest and divine-persona plunder toward godhood, ultimately aiming for the position of Overgod above all gods. The work combines divine domain management, vassal evolution, and planar warfare with a pronounced gamified, data-driven style: deity interfaces, sect interfaces, and race interfaces resemble game panels, and scenes such as believer promotion and sacrificial rituals are rendered as visualized "miracles." The pacing is brisk and the payoffs frequent, making it one of the more representative entries in the "everyone is a deity" genre.
