Chapter 1

The world is unpredictable, with many mysterious and wondrous things. Time travel is not uncommon, and defying the heavens is one of them. The name sounds very domineering, but it was given by oneself, with the resolve to defy the heavens and change one's fate. Unfortunately, in the end, the heavens changed it, and he had to struggle hard just to earn a living.

Since reality couldn't be changed, he decided to defy the heavens in his thoughts. For this, he continuously watched movies, TV series, manga, and novels, seeking comfort in that beautiful realm of imagination.

He even studied filmmaking and other related fields, though he never had the chance to experience it firsthand. However, his theoretical knowledge was abundant, and he fantasized about the day when he could shoot what he had in mind.

As the saying goes, opportunities always come to those who are prepared. Defying the heavens prepared for his fantasies, and when the opportunity came, he unknowingly arrived in another world.

Definitely another world, a person in his twenties turned into a small child, unable to speak. What else could be more perplexing?

As for why it couldn't be the original world, it's simple: in the original world, he wasn't a reborn or a time traveler. Just this point alone means it couldn't be the original world.

Being a child has many advantages, though it's troublesome and lacks self-protection, no one would suspect or pay attention. The future is still open to any possibilities.

This new world is very special. In ancient times, it was almost identical to the original world. However, after the invention of electricity, especially the advent of movies, this world, which was once the same as the original, underwent significant changes.

After the appearance of movies, the world became different. People in this world could form contracts with the movie and TV worlds, which was very strange but also very exciting.

Of course, not all movie and TV worlds could become contract worlds. The specific requirements are still being explored.

To form a contract with a world, one must watch the entire movie or TV series. Then, through mental perception, there is a chance to form a contract.

With the development of technology, people also discovered that novels or comics, if adapted into movies or TV series, could also become contract worlds.

What is the use of a contract world? Once a world is contracted, the individual can obtain the power of the world, also known as omnipotent divine power.

Regardless of which world is contracted, the power obtained is the power of the world. The amount of power is determined by color: one color for the initial human level, two colors for the intermediate human level, three colors for the advanced human level, four colors for the initial earth level, seven colors for the initial heaven level, and nine colors for the advanced heaven level. Whether there are levels above that, Defying the Heavens is not sure.

The color doesn't matter much; it's the amount of color that counts.

The changed world also brought about some special roles, such as directors, screenwriters, and actors. If a contract world can be created, then the director, screenwriter, actor, and behind-the-scenes staff can all obtain a certain amount of world power.

However, generally, directors, screenwriters, and actors receive more. Screenwriters need to have a wild imagination and some basis in reality, which not everyone can do. This requires a high level of talent.

Directors need practical skills and understanding, which is not easy. After all, if the audience can't understand, the chances of becoming a contract world decrease significantly, and it would be a waste of effort.

Actors have both high and low requirements. Anyone can act, but whether they can act well is another matter. Compared to directors and screenwriters, the threshold is much lower.

For actors, if they don't act well, it's over. Good acting can increase the chances of a movie or TV series becoming a contract world, so being an actor is not easy.

This was discovered through practice. Initially, people didn't pay much attention to actors, and they were treated casually. To obtain world power, anyone, regardless of their performance, was used.

Later, a director, for unknown reasons, perhaps as a challenge or because there was nothing else to shoot, remade some old movies that had not become contract worlds. The remakes were almost identical, but the actors' skills were very strong. In the end, the remakes became contract worlds.

This shocked the world. Actors, who were initially overlooked, suddenly became important. Since then, the status of actors has significantly risen, aligning with directors and screenwriters as one of the three most important elements.

The rise of actors also cleaned up the previously chaotic industry. Things like backdoor deals were done by small directors or those without ambition.

The world power of the new world is enhanced through the growth and training of avatars in contract worlds. Another way is through movies that evoke emotions or fear, which can also increase world power.

If a director can create a movie that evokes strong emotions or fear, even if it doesn't become a contract world, the director, screenwriter, and actors can still obtain some world power, though not as much as creating a contract world.

Those who are moved or frightened, if genuinely so, will also increase their world power. How this is determined is known only to the new world.

Some people tried to highly imitate, but their world power did not increase, indicating that only genuine emotions work, not artificial ones.

World power is not only a symbol of the new world's strength but also has many uses. For example, if you want something from a contract world, you can consume world power to exchange it into the new world.

Of course, such exchanges are limited. If the quality is very high, the world power consumed will be significant, and if it's not enough, the exchange won't happen.

Items with spiritual qualities cannot be exchanged unless at the cost of permanently closing a contract world and consuming a large amount of world power.

If the avatar in a contract world dies, the individual will lose the position of that contract world. Only the world fruit, a specialty of the new world, can reopen it, but the previously lost contract world will never be re-contracted.

World fruits are very rare, and when they appear, the entire world competes for them. Anyone with the ability will not miss the opportunity, as no one can guarantee they won't need it.

Items from the new world and contract worlds are not interconnected. Non-spiritual items from the new world require the consumption of world power to appear in the avatar's hands in a contract world.

Spiritual items, if integrated into the individual, can be used in all contract worlds.

Skills, techniques, and artifacts from contract worlds can be used by the individual, but they cannot be shared between different contract worlds.

If a contract world is lost, the individual loses all abilities from that world, even if they know them well, they cannot use them. This prevents the transmission of abilities, and if you want something, you must contract that world and obtain it yourself.

Because the world has changed, some people have developed special bloodlines or strange abilities, which avatars in contract worlds also possess.

Due to the differences in worlds, some abilities perform differently. For example, an ability that can move mountains in a contract world might only stir up a bit of dust in the new world. This is not surprising and should not be overreacted to.

The time in the new world and contract worlds is not synchronized. When a person in the new world enters a training state and selects a contract world, they enter that world. The time ratio varies for each world.

When not training, the contract world is in a static state and does not progress, so world power does not increase.

During the First World War, the power of contract worlds had not yet been revealed, so the war still broke out. However, during the Second World War, with more people forming contracts with worlds, the impact was significant, and the war did not break out on a global scale, only in limited areas.

Although the Second World War did not break out, many issues remained unresolved, such as the issue of the island. However, the issue of Hong Kong was resolved, and it entered the two-systems state earlier.

The world's political landscape has also changed, with the yellow and white races dominating, while the black race suffered. Under the tacit approval and restrictions of various countries, they remained in a primitive state.

The appearance of contract worlds also gave rise to a special profession: those who trade items between worlds. Of course, trading items requires the consumption of world power, making rare items even rarer.

Although rare items are few, each world has its unique features, which has led to the prosperity of this industry. Due to this trade, the importance of population has increased.

Many people tried to raise populations to engage in trade, leading to the rampant human trafficking, even in broad daylight, with children being kidnapped, causing severe social issues.

Governments had no choice but to crack down, and the situation was eventually controlled, but this was not a long-term solution. Later, people turned their attention to the underdeveloped African continent, where human trafficking flourished under the tacit approval and indulgence of various governments.

Those treated like pigs would not willingly accept their fate, and the hidden dangers were clear to the rulers, but they were powerless to change it.

Rulers could only restrict the development of the African continent to keep it under control, leading to its chaotic state and a battleground for various forces.

The appearance of contract worlds has shifted the focus of various countries to the film and television industries. However, the time is still short, and people's thinking is far from mature.

This new world is like the 1960s. When Defying the Heavens arrived with the memories of his previous life, he would surely open a new era. Due to various reasons, Defying the Heavens is different from the people of the new world.
