Josh was awakened by the noisy sounds around her.
She opened her eyes in a daze and was surprised to see the people around her.
She was in the center of a hall, surrounded by elegantly dressed people.
Her parents were standing with the adopted daughter, looking at her accusingly.
"Josh! How could you treat your sister like this?" Mother Cherry was looking at her with displeasure.
Her father and brothers all stood on the opposite side, looking disappointed.
She was wearing a white dress, stained with red wine, and surrounded by mocking laughter.
Josh felt a sharp pain in her head and suddenly remembered.
This was her original world!
This was the High-dimensional World, the Federation Planet.
Her family was the Augustine family, a noble house in the Federation, and she was Josh Augustine, the real heiress who had been lost on the Garbage Star from a young age.
In front of her was the imposter heiress her parents mistakenly took home years ago, Susanna.
It was their eighteenth-coming-of-age ceremony when she was framed by Susanna’s trick. It was clear Susanna fell down the stairs herself, but everyone thought Josh pushed her.
Facing everyone’s accusations, the small Josh couldn’t bear the humiliation and tumbled down the stairs as well.
That tumble caused her soul to travel to the Cultivation World.
There, she met a master who cherished her dearly, and seven brothers and sisters who doted on her.
Together, they cultivated for a thousand years, traveled through the Three Realms and four seas, fought against injustice, and roamed freely.
During a great battle, her senior brothers and master were wrapped into cocoons by the Demon God and sealed by the Demon Clan. The cocoons slowly devoured their blood essence.
Josh was mortally wounded in her decisive battle with the Demon God and fell into an abyss.
Then... did she return?
Returned to the Federation World?!
What about her master?
What about her sect?
Did she die?
No!
Before she fell unconscious, she saw a flash of white light and vaguely heard the exhortations from her master and senior brothers and sisters, telling her to live well.
Could it be they united their power to open a Space-Time Gate at the critical moment and sent her back?
She searched her mind sea, and it seemed her cultivation had vanished as well.
Mother Cherry’s reprimands continued: "Josh! Your sister is healthier than you and a more suitable representative of the Augustine family to participate in the ’God Creation Game’, why must you contest with her?"
Father Glennan Augustine also looked at her disappointedly: "Stop making trouble and apologize to your sister!"
Several brothers hurriedly added: "Exactly! Susanna has more talent, better ability, and stronger spiritual power than you. If she doesn’t go, do you think you should?"
"With your F-level spiritual power... Even if you enter, you wouldn’t survive the first trial, why occupy the Augustine family’s slot?"
"You really shouldn’t have pushed Susanna down the stairs!"
Cherry looked at her even more disappointedly: "You’ve really let me down, child."
Josh searched her memories and remembered the ’God Creation Game’, a world where it’s truly possible to create a god.
If she could participate in the ’God Creation Game’, win the competition, and become a god of the Federation, wouldn’t she have a chance to return to the Cultivation World to save her master and them?
So now, she must strive to gain eligibility to enter the game!
Josh sneered coldly: "You keep accusing me—did anyone ask for the truth? I didn’t push her at all."
Cherry looked at her sternly: "What’s done is done! Why deny it? Is that what Garbage Star taught you, to lie?"
One of her brothers stepped forward and said: "I clearly saw you reaching out to push Susanna just now! Don’t think of lying."
Susanna looked at Josh with tears in her eyes: "Sorry, sister, I really didn’t want to fight for anything with you; I’m not really part of the Augustine family, maybe I should just leave..."
Glennan’s face turned cold: "No Susanna, you stay at home, don’t go anywhere."
Josh raised her hand, showing both hands were smeared with black, still-drying ink: "I just went to the study and accidentally spilled ink. If I had pushed her, why is there no ink on her white dress?"
Susanna froze.
Father Glennan and Mother Cherry were also stunned.
Josh glanced coldly at everyone: "You didn’t even ask before convicting me—is this what you call impartiality?"
"You claim I am the daughter painstakingly found, yet I fall short in every aspect compared to her at home—you say I cannot tolerate her?"
"Today is our coming-of-age ceremony, she wore a unique dress worth millions, while I wore leftovers from her birthday last year."
"A single birthday cake was prepared, allegedly for us to share, but her name alone was written on it."
"She grew up in the Augustine family, enjoying noble education, while I grew up on the Garbage Star, struggling for survival with all my might."
"Yet you compare everything about me to her, from conversation to table manners and academics. How could I, struggling to survive, care for those things?"
"You fear my presence would bring her insecurity and unrest, afraid she’d lack a sense of security."
"So you protect her at every turn, everyone is her family, but who cares about my life or death?"
"If you dislike me so much, why did you bring me back!"
Josh looked at her family accusingly.
The surrounding whispers gradually quieted down.
She paid no more mind to these people, her eyes red as she stormed up the stairs and ran back to her room.
Once she closed the door, the grievances and unwillingness on her face vanished completely.
Luckily, her Pinduoduo cheat was still there; she had quickly redeemed a bottle of ink from the Pinduoduo shop and smeared it on her palm.
What family.
The Augustine family had been with her for less than a year; her master and sect had been with her for over a thousand years.
Josh spat irritably, quickly calming down to probe her body.
To her surprise, the inner core in her Dantian was still there!
However, a cultivator at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage like her should have a pure and powerful inner core, yet it was reduced to the size of a small millet pearl.
Fortunately, it could still absorb Spiritual Power.
Her Pinduoduo account also had 2000 unused points left.
She needed to calm down.
If she could jump from interstellar to the Cultivation World and back, there was certainly hope to return again.
Josh was about to go to the bathroom to freshen up when she suddenly glimpsed a box on the bed.
The black box seemed to carry some sort of magical power, attracting her to it.
Josh recognized the box—it was an invitation to the ’God Creation Game’; everyone who received the box would enter the game within a short time.
What was happening?
Previously, before she went to the Cultivation World, she wasn’t eligible for the God Creation Game.
Could it be, because she went to the Cultivation World, everything changed?
