You were driven out of the capital at the start, and you ask me why I rebelled?

Chapter 2 System Awakening, Terrifying Enhancement

"Ding! Host detected, system is binding!"

Ying Chen, who had just returned to his residence, suddenly heard a mechanical voice in his mind.

"system?"

He paused for a moment, then tried to call out in his mind.

"Host, I'm here!"

Upon receiving the system's reply, Ying Chen was overjoyed and quickly returned to his palace, closing the door behind him.

Then, in his mind, he cried out, "System, you've finally arrived! 18 years! Do you know how I've spent these past 18 years?"

That's right, Yingchen wasn't a native of this world. He was originally a 9-to-5 office worker on Earth. During a drinking session with a client, he was forced to drink heavily by the client, resulting in alcohol poisoning and his immediate death...

When I woke up again, I was already a baby...

When he first transmigrated, he hoped he could get a system, or at least an old man!

But no matter how he called upon the system, it wouldn't appear, and gradually, he gave up on the idea...

My identity in this life is no simple matter! As a descendant of the royal family, I can be described as a favored child born with a silver spoon in my mouth.

He once firmly believed that as long as he could properly apply the knowledge he had acquired in his previous life, he would surely be able to dominate the world and stand out from the crowd...

However, reality slapped him hard in the face—this place was no ordinary mortal world, but a fantastical realm filled with mystical wonders...

In such a bizarre and wonderful place, the knowledge he had acquired before was utterly useless.

It should be understood that cultivators here can easily accomplish many unimaginable things simply by relying on spiritual power...

In this world where martial prowess reigns supreme, everything depends on an individual's strength.

What good is a noble and prestigious status if you don't have solid skills?

In the end, it's nothing more than a facade.

Others may respect you on the surface, but behind your back they might look down on you a lot!

Unfortunately, his talent for cultivation is pitifully poor. He started cultivating at the age of six, and it has been 12 years now. Despite having a vast supply of resources and never having to worry about them, he has only just reached the Foundation Establishment stage...

Fortunately, the system has awakened now, and it's not too late. He's about to take up his fiefdom, and he believes that with the system's help, he will definitely rise to power...

"System, what functions do you have?"

Ying Chen asked in his mind.

"Ding! This system is the Eternal God Emperor System, designed to cultivate the host into an Eternal God Emperor..."

"This system will issue missions from time to time. As long as the host completes the missions, he/she will receive generous rewards. In addition, the host can use kill points to purchase items in the system shop..."

The system explained.

Ying Chen stroked his chin, listening to the system's explanation.

"Not bad! But what are these kill points? System, how do I obtain kill points?"

Ying Chen nodded and asked.

"Ding! Kill points are obtained by the host or their subordinates through killing enemies. The higher the cultivation level of the enemy killed, the more kill points are obtained..."

After the system's explanation, Ying Chen roughly understood how to obtain kill points.

"Ding! A newbie gift pack has been detected that the host has not yet claimed it. Open it?"

At this time, the system sound sounded again.

"Open!"

Ying Chen murmured to himself.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the exclusive cultivation technique, the Eternal Divine Emperor Technique!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained one civil official, one military general, and one special summon card!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained two Legion Summoning Cards!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have attained the cultivation level of the early Nascent Soul stage!"

The continuous system notifications rang in Ying Chen's mind. With each one he thought of, the corners of his mouth turned up a little more, until finally, his mouth was almost stretched to the roots of his ears.

I never expected the rewards in the newbie gift pack to be so generous.

"System, use the exclusive cultivation technique and your cultivation level first!"

Ying Chen said in his mind.

"Ding! Successfully used!"

As soon as the system finished speaking, Ying Chen felt a change in his body. First, an obscure and difficult-to-understand scripture entered his mind, followed by a massive surge of energy flowing into his body. His cultivation began to increase rapidly, reaching the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm in the blink of an eye...

"Is this the power of the Nascent Soul stage? It's truly intoxicating!"

Feeling the power within his body, Ying Chen said with a look of ecstasy, "I feel incredibly strong now."

Ying Chen felt the changes in his body. Not only had his cultivation level increased to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but the quality of his spiritual energy had also become exceptionally good, without any instability, and his foundation was extremely solid...

Before this, he was able to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage entirely by forcibly accumulating a large amount of resources.

While this approach improved his cultivation, it also brought about a serious problem—an unstable foundation.

Because of this, his internal structure is like a castle built on sand—seemingly magnificent, but actually shaky and unstable. This weak foundation significantly diminishes his strength, preventing him from performing at his full potential and creating considerable hidden dangers.

Furthermore, due to his unstable foundation, the spiritual energy within him had become exceptionally weak. The spiritual energy that should have been surging like a tide and flowing endlessly was instead as weak and powerless as a trickle.

Now, he no longer felt any weakness in his spiritual energy.

"As expected of the system!"

Ying Chen couldn't help but exclaim in admiration!

"System, now use the summoning card!"

Ying Chen continued in his mind.

"Ding! Successfully used!"

"Congratulations, host! You have acquired the civil official Guo Jia, the military general Zhao Yun, and the special character Lu Bing!"

"Congratulations, host, you have acquired 100,000 White Horse Cavalry and 100,000 Embroidered Uniform Guards!"

The smile on her face almost never stopped.

He opened his task panel.

Host: Ying Chen

Identity: King of Liang of the Great Qin Dynasty

Strength: Early Nascent Soul Stage

Summoned characters: Guo Jia (Early Nascent Soul Stage), Zhao Yun (Early Nascent Soul Stage), Lu Bing (Early Nascent Soul Stage)

(The summoned character's strength cannot exceed the host's by one major realm. The character's current cultivation level is sealed. The seal will be gradually lifted as the host's cultivation level increases...)

Summon Legions: Imperial Guards (100,000), White Horse Cavalry (100,000)

(The strength of the summoned legion is also limited by the host. Currently, ordinary soldiers are at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. The higher the level, the higher the cultivation. The highest level is currently the early stage of Nascent Soul...)

Kill Points: 0

System store.

At the bottom of the panel, there was a sign that said "System Shop," which Yingchen clicked on out of curiosity.

A transparent panel appeared before him, filled with a dazzling array of items: cultivation techniques, magical treasures, characters, and legions—too many to count. But Ying Chen could only look on enviously. He didn't have a single kill point, and the items on the panel were worth hundreds of thousands, even millions, of kill points—making it impossible for him to resist. He could only watch with longing...
