When Cheng Pan turned his head, he suddenly felt a dizzy spell. Gradually, he realized he could no longer feel sound, temperature, or even his own body. Light was flowing all around him.

"Damn, have I been kidnapped by aliens? What's going on?" Cheng Pan felt fear at his current situation, but also a bit of curiosity. "Could it be that I'm already dead? Why don't I feel anything?"

"Was it struck by lightning, hit by a meteor, or a sudden sinkhole?" Cheng Pan wondered why he had died painlessly, trying to shift his fear of being in an unknown place.

"Detected a trial participant, race: 92% Yanhuang lineage, assigned to the Central Plains team, code 541298." A sudden voice appeared in Cheng Pan's mind.

Cheng Pan's thoughts froze for a second. "What, a trial participant? Central Plains team?" "Damn, it can't be the God Space, can it? I have parents, a job, and I just got out of the mountain of homework and sea of exams. I was just about to enjoy my youth. You want me to go through trials? What the hell? You can't just grab people like this. In novels, you only grab special forces, assassins, mechanical geniuses, or psychopaths with an IQ of 250."

Suddenly, he stopped. "Before I was transported, didn't I say something? 'Do you want to know the meaning of life?' I think I even nodded." Cheng Pan was immediately stunned. "Could this be self-inflicted?" "Isn't the God supposed to pick people through pop-up windows on the computer? I was just showing off to the moon. You can't do this. This is a violation of the rules."

No matter how Cheng Pan tried to send mental waves (he was now a consciousness), the surroundings only emitted a "beep" sound.

"Big white ball, come out already. If you don't, at least make a sound." He realized he couldn't resist the fate of being smacked by the Goddess of Fate and began to worry about his dark future.

"Data incomplete, unable to automatically select a scene."

"Reward and punishment mechanism incomplete, unable to assign tasks."

"Exchange incomplete, unable to obtain items."

...

...

...

...

One by one, "incomplete, unable to execute" responses came to Cheng Pan.

It seemed the God had been messed up. "Haha, I don't have to struggle for tasks anymore."

"Um, but how do I get back?"

"Due to the majority of the program being damaged, and trial participant 541298 having the highest authority, entering manual operation."

Suddenly, Cheng Pan's body sensation returned. Not only that, but he also had a vague sense of a 10-meter radius around his head.

"Huh, there seems to be something in front." He opened his eyes and looked around. He was in a square room with gray walls, floor, and ceiling, all tightly sealed. In front of him was a slightly glowing, almost transparent sphere.

"Sure enough, the God has been messed up."

He walked up to the "light ball," which looked like a large soap bubble.

At that moment, the "light ball" flashed, and Cheng Pan felt a real space of ten meters in length form in his mind.

"Trial participant 541298 confirmed as the highest authority, all resources and information are open to him."

Hearing this, Cheng Pan felt he could finally know something.

Cheng Pan: "Who are you? Why is there a space in my mind, and why do I have a sense of the surroundings?"

After ten minutes of constant probing, Cheng Pan finally understood his current situation.

This light ball was indeed the God, that cruel thing.

Only, it had been damaged by someone, and most of its functions were out of order.

Following the last program to grab someone, it partially merged with Cheng Pan's soul. Now, Cheng Pan's soul had an influence on the space. The most obvious effect was the clear perception of the surroundings (hereafter referred to as "super-sense").

It also completely merged with what was originally his private space and his soul, forming a storage space. As long as he concentrated on an object for 10 seconds, he could store it in his mental space.

During the partial fusion of the space with Cheng Pan's soul, it also altered his body. Cheng Pan's body was fixed at 17 years old, 178 cm tall, and his nearsightedness was completely gone. His originally unhealthy, sedentary body became healthy and full of vitality.

Although the space's resources were fully open to him,

the exchange service in the God Space was almost gone.

Cheng Pan excitedly opened the exchange screen.

A screen appeared in front of him with many options, such as bloodlines, weapons, etc.

"This is the rhythm of the protagonist's aura."

Cheng Pan excitedly opened the bloodline section.

The screen flashed and showed a line: "No bloodlines available for exchange."

"What does that mean?" Cheng Pan asked the light ball.

Another line appeared: "The bloodline you want to exchange has been lost."

A sense of foreboding appeared in Cheng Pan's heart.

He tried other options.

"No weapons available for exchange."

"No cultivation techniques available for exchange."

"No living supplies available for exchange."

When Cheng Pan selected the last option, "Enhancement," a basic internal cultivation enhancement appeared.

Cheng Pan breathed a sigh of relief. At least he got something. But why was the basic internal cultivation enhancement in red and flashing?

He clicked to confirm.

"Beep" A mental wave shot into Cheng Pan's head. At the same time, the screen showed "Unknown error, unable to directly enhance. Text information input."

Cheng Pan's excitement was dampened again.

Then he closed his eyes and recalled the mental message. A cultivation technique route appeared in his mind with detailed explanations.

"At least the cultivation technique didn't give me any problems."

After receiving the meager beginner's package, he started to understand the tasks. He only had one life.

He opened the task scene options and found many were grayed out. Cheng Pan clicked on the grayed-out "Warcraft" option.

A tooltip appeared: "The trial participant's soul is not strong enough to adapt to the high-magic scene's rules."

Suddenly, he thought of a question.

"Since I have the highest authority, can I set up a main task for myself in the scene?" (Lazy thought)

The screen replied: "Due to system damage, you cannot set up a main task, and the system cannot automatically set up tasks."

Cheng Pan's face immediately became colorful. "Then, how do I get out of the task world?"

The screen's answer was "???"

The person was helpless.

If he was going to be transported, he might as well do it once. Better to get it over with early. Otherwise, without food, his physical strength would drain, and his survival rate would be low.

He chose the "Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" world. This world had low magic, and he was familiar with the plot.

"God, give me a full-body repair first." He wanted to be at full strength before adventuring.

But the broken God dealt him another blow.

"Unknown error, unable to perform a full-body repair."

"Damn, let's go through quickly. If I don't, this God platform might be scrapped."

Cheng Pan grumbled and clicked to confirm. "Whoosh," he was transported.
