Supreme Sovereign: Echo of Great Luck!

Blue Star.

No. 1 High School's playground in Magic Capital.

A massive magic array had been outlined in the center of the field, and the staff were carrying out the setup in an orderly manner.

Su Ye looked at the enormous magic array with mixed feelings. All the seniors had gathered on the playground. It was not just No. 1 High School—across The Empire, or rather, across the entire world, everyone was doing the same thing today.

Lord's Day!

This was a world of lords. On this day, eighteen-year-old boys and girls—or perhaps adult men and married women—would pass through the magic array and enter Eternal World to become Novice Lords.

"Where was the promised cheat? Where was the promised system? Fuck, it was all a lie." Su Ye stared at the massive magic array. He was an orphan, and a reborn one at that.

He had been reborn into this world for eighteen years. Though he already had two buffs, something was still missing—like a school beauty secretly in love with him, a younger sister with no blood relation, an older sister, or a young aunt.

He was just an ordinary person with memories of his previous life. Emmm, there was nothing else, of course, except for his indispensable good looks.

A woman's voice rang out. Su Ye's homeroom teacher, Tang Lanlan, clapped her hands and began her final instructions.

"Alright, everyone, focus. The magic array will be completed soon. Let me explain a few things. You must remember them: once you enter Eternal World, no matter what happens, you have to survive the thirty-day Novice Lord period."

"This will be the best time for you to develop. Do everything you can to develop your territory and troops. Remember, you must get through these thirty days no matter what. Even becoming a vegetable farmer lord is better than turning into an ordinary person."

"I won't say much more. Over the past three years, you've learned plenty about lords. Remember to act within your means. Don't be greedy, and don't be impulsive. Troops are a lord's strength, but territory is a lord's foundation. Remember that."

"Got it, Teacher!!" X45

Tang Lanlan pressed her hands down, sighed, and looked toward the completed magic array.

The first batch of students turned into light within the array and vanished. Then came the second batch, the third, and the fourth. Soon, it was Su Ye's class's turn.

Su Ye stepped onto the teleportation array. As light rose around him, his figure disappeared from the array.

[ Ding: Welcome to Eternal World. This is the Arena of Gods, and also the Paradise of Gods. Whether you become a god or face Destruction is entirely your choice! ]

[ Ding: First entry into Eternal World detected. Auxiliary functions activated! ]

[ Ding: Panel System loading... ]

[ Ding: Trading System Lockdown for thirty days! ]

[ Ding: Chat System loading... ]

...

[ Ding: Talent awakened: Supreme Sovereign (Unique!) ]

[ Ding: Novice gift pack issued to Lord Item Space. Please collect it. ]

Su Ye stood on a patch of grass, receiving the system's information. The system was not actually a system, but a manifestation of Eternal World's will. This was not a game, but a cruel Lord World.

Su Ye opened his eyes and looked at the grass before him. "Not bad. My novice territory is actually grassland. At least it isn't a swamp or desert."

The starting territories of Novice Lords were all random, meaning it depended entirely on luck. Of course, places like the Dead Zone would not appear, but difficult terrain was still possible.

Of course, some people were incredibly lucky. Their novice territory might be a forest or an Ore Vein. Those people were Chosen Ones, and they developed faster than others from the very start.

Su Ye did not immediately open the novice gift pack. Instead, he looked at his talent.

Talent was something every Novice Lord awakened. Its strength had a huge impact on a lord.

"A Unique-grade talent shouldn't be bad, right?" Su Ye studied his talent carefully.

Supreme Sovereign

Trait 1: Echo of Great Luck: When your Lord's Heart levels up, its bound traits are guaranteed to be gold-grade or above! Note: I report someone for cheating! Cheating! Ah, turns out it's me. Then it's fine.

"Holy shit, this is awesome!" Su Ye practically turned into a reaction meme as he looked at the trait granted by his talent.

The traits granted by talents were vital to lords. They determined a lord's future development path and choice of troops.

After all, it was not a good thing when a lord's talent conflicted with their troops.

Su Ye licked his lips. After eighteen years, he understood exactly how terrifying this talent was. Calling it a cheat would not be an exaggeration.

"Open the novice gift pack!"

[ Ding: You have obtained Lord's Heart X1. You have obtained Random Barracks Gift Box. You have obtained initial Gold Coin: 100! ]

Su Ye looked at the irregular white rhomboid crystal floating on his panel.

The Lord's Heart—the foundation of a lord, or rather, the origin of all a lord's foundations.

[ Ding: Bind Lord's Heart? ]

"Bind." Su Ye grabbed the Lord's Heart and silently commanded it in his mind.

The Lord's Heart merged directly into Su Ye's body, finally becoming a rhomboid mark on his wrist before gradually fading away.

[ Ding: Select Lord's Heart trait? ]

"Yes."

When Novice Lords first bound their Lord's Heart, they had one chance to choose a trait as their initial trait. Traits were divided into seven grades: gray, white, green, blue, purple, gold, and red.

Two golden lights and one crimson light appeared before Su Ye.

Su Ye's breathing quickened. What was Echo of Great Luck? What the fuck was Echo of Great Luck? This was Echo of Great Luck. The gears of fate—the cheater's fate—had begun to turn.

Two gold traits and one red trait appeared before Su Ye, and he began examining them.

Gold Trait: Hymn of Life! Gold Trait: Gift of the Outer God! Red Trait: Super God Evolution!

Hymn of Life: Troop trait. Your troop legion gains 100% health recovery, 100% stamina recovery, and 100% mana recovery. They also gain one death immunity per day! Note: Life is free, noble, and priceless!

"Fuck!!" Su Ye looked at the golden trait, his heart pounding. He forcibly suppressed the urge to choose it and continued looking at the other two traits.

Gift of the Outer God: Troop trait. Your troop legion will undergo indescribable mutation and Evolution, falling into chaotic disorder as they listen to unknown whispers and walk the path of madness. Note: A gift from the Outer God. Come, fall into those eternal whispers and unknown madness. The Outer God will guide you toward glorious Evolution.

Su Ye frowned as he looked at this trait. Sure enough, not all traits were beneficial; some were negative. This gold trait was one of them.

The ability to mutate and evolve showed how powerful this trait was, but the later effects—chaos, disorder, and madness—were rather terrifying. He might even attract the attention of certain Outer Gods. Better run. Better run. He could not afford to provoke them.
