Chapter 27 - World Fragments

"Enough," the teacher announced, his voice regaining its sharp tone. "Today, you begin your journey of divine expansion."

The projection screen behind him lit up with a glowing image of layered worlds, some cracked and dying, others vast and glowing with celestial brilliance.

"The time has come for you to expand your Kingdoms of God."

He glanced around the room, now filled with attentive, silent students.

The teacher tapped a few times on his divine terminal, and the screen behind him shifted once more—this time revealing the glowing silhouette of a spherical world being slowly expanded by using shard-like fragments. Each fragment shimmered with glowing veins of faith energy.

"World expansion," the teacher began solemnly, "is not as simple as pouring divine power into the void."

He gestured, and a new interface appeared on each student's divine terminal:

---

[World Expansion Requirements]

World Fragments Required: 1 (per 1,000 km increase)

Faith Saturation: Strongly Recommended

Expansion Gains: Increased resource production, species evolution speed, ferile soil.

---

"To expand your world," the teacher continued, "you need World Fragments. These are not something you can simply create on your own at this stage."

He paused, letting the silence settle.

"There are two primary methods to obtain them."

1. "Buy them from the Creation Website using Creation Points."

The hologram showed a fragment priced at a staggering 500 Creation Points each.

"I know that some of you—children of high-ranking gods—may obtain more Creation Points from your parents."

His eyes swept over a few stiff-backed students in the first row.

"But for the rest of you, who relied solely on the school's startup fund… you should have little left."

2. "Loot them from the chaotic worlds—born in the Chaos Dimension."

A dramatic shift in the projection showed violent, fragmented worlds clashing in space, fragments spinning wildly amidst battle-scarred continents.

"But for that… you'll need something none of you possess yet—

Believer Combat Power."

Gasps spread through the class.

"And so," the teacher continued, voice firm, "for the next one month—there will be no class."

The students straightened in surprise.

"You will focus solely on strengthening your believers. Cultivation, magic, martial arts—whatever your world favors, help them grow stronger. Sharpen their minds, teach them warfare, tactics, and unity."

He raised a hand before anyone could interrupt.

"In one month, there will be a combat assessment. Your Believers will fight the chaotic world's denizens. Their victories… will be your reward."

Another screen popped up on everyone's terminal.

"You may buy additional coordinates later, but for now each of you has two free chances. Use them wisely."

A hand rose from the back.

"Ma'am," a student asked hesitantly, "what kind of resources exist in these chaotic worlds?"

The teacher nodded at the timely question.

"A good question. You may encounter—"

Cultivation Techniques

Magical Grimoires

Martial Art Scrolls

Spiritual Veins and Mana Streams

Rare Minerals, Divine Metals

"But the most precious of all…" she paused, voice dropping slightly, "is the World Core."

A projection appeared—a crystalline orb pulsing with primal light.

"Each chaotic world has one. From World Cores, true World Fragments are refined. That is the key to expanding your Kingdom of God."

"One final thing," she said, looking around the room.

"When you obtain a World Fragment, you must saturate it with your own faith—from your own believers—before using it. This smoothens the fusion process, increases stability, and may grant additional gains."

Her voice turned cold, sharp.

"Letting foreign faith seep into your world's foundations is like poisoning your roots."

She looked across the students one last time.

"So balance well. Do you delay divine refinement to expand your world—or push forward to godhood at the cost of stagnation?"

------

Just as the class had begun to settle after the teacher's lengthy explanation about world expansion and chaotic coordinates, another student cautiously raised a hand.

"Ma'am," he asked, curiosity evident in his voice, "how are those worlds in the Chaos Dimension formed? And who sets their rules? In the worlds we formed, it's our consciousness and will that give shape to the laws. What about those?"

The teacher's stern gaze softened just a bit as she nodded in approval.

"That's a good question," she said.

She thought darkly "Finally its time.I like this part of teaching them the best."

She continued "To answer that, you must first understand something fundamental—about Chaos itself and how these worlds truly come into being."

She walked toward the front of the class and tapped her divine terminal. The projection behind her transformed into a swirling cosmic map, layer upon layer of universe spheres embedded within a greater churning void of silvery-black storm.

"What you've all been taught in your lower classes is… incomplete. The Chaos Dimension isn't just a separate space within our universe."

She gestured to the image.

"Instead, our universe—and countless others like it—exist within Chaos itself. Chaos Energy is omnipresent, everywhere. It isn't replaced or displaced by our universes, because doing so is impossible."

"What happens instead," she continued, "is that our universe creates spatial layers—like thin membranes—within Chaos. These layers act as a barrier, separating chaotic energy from the structured matter and laws of our cosmos."

As her words sank in, a sudden wave of pain rippled through the classroom.

Several students winced, grabbing their temples.

"Ma'am… it hurts…"

She smirked knowingly.

"Let me guess—headache?"

The entire class nodded or murmured confirmation.

"Good," she said with a chuckle. "That's because this information is of a higher level—knowledge that your minds can barely process. If you hadn't formed your worlds, you wouldn't even be able to handle this much. And if any of you tried to tell your believers?"

She let that hang ominously.

"They'd die."

Gasps rippled through the class.

"That's why information about higher levels is tightly restricted. Even I, as a mid-level god, don't know much about realms beyond True Gods. If you ever encounter forbidden information in a chaotic world—some book or scroll that kills or mutates people who read it—don't attempt to interpret it."

She stepped back and pressed another button on her terminal. A holographic image of a containment device appeared.

"Bring it to your instructors. We have devices that can handle high-level information up to a certain threshold. The device may be destroyed in the process, but you'll survive. Understood?"

"Yes, Ma'am!" the class chorused quickly.

The teacher nodded, then added with a sly grin, "Good. That pain will help you remember. My own teacher did the same to me."

Then she continued, returning to the question.

"Now, to the rest of your question. How do chaotic worlds form, and where do their laws come from?"

Seeing the scared faces of students teacher chuckled and said "Don't worry its not much high level info and won't increase your headache by much"

"The answer," she said, raising a hand to the swirling image of Chaos, "is gravity."

"Even Chaos Energy, which is wildly volatile, is slightly influenced by gravitational pull. When gravity accumulates in a specific location over long periods, it draws in traces of chaotic energy, condensing it—slowly—until it reaches a critical threshold. At that point, a world is spontaneously born."

She waved, and miniature models of stars and black holes appeared.

"Stars are enough to birth small chaotic worlds. Black holes can form larger ones. These worlds often mirror the motion of the star or singularity that birthed them due to the gravitational frame-dragging. As more layers of space with planets form, more the gravity increase at that point, leads to formation of bigger world but upto a limit"

"Most of them are barren—like most planets in our universe were before terraforming, their use is to get world fragments and some rare resources born in them. But sometimes, rarely, life manages to emerge. These worlds tend to hold valuable resources: cultivation scrolls, magical veins, spiritual metals. And their cores are refined into World Fragments."

"But," she cautioned, "there is a limit to how large a chaotic world can form. Why that limit exists… well, that's higher-level knowledge I'm not permitted to share."

Several students sighed in both awe and pain as the subtle ache in their heads grew worse.

The teacher smiled sympathetically.

"As for their rules—remember what you've been taught: gravity bends space."

She circled her hand, mimicking the shape of warped spacetime.

"This spatial bending causes rule leakage. In simple terms, the laws of nearby universes—physics, magic, or cultivation logic—'leak' into the newly formed chaotic world. That's how they get their structure."

She raised a finger.

"But your own worlds—born from your consciousness—are created in the empty, low-gravity pockets of Chaos. There's no spatial warping there. That's why you need to personally imprint rules into your worlds."

Another wave of mild headache spread across the class, groans echoing softly.

"That discomfort is normal. It'll pass in a day or two, depending on how strong your divine cores are."

Finally, the teacher took a step back, her tone returning to its earlier firmness.

"Class dismissed. Rest well. Focus on your believers. And prepare—for war."
