System Reward, 200,000-Year Spirit Ring! (Seeking Collection!)

Chapter 7: System Reward, a 200,000-Year Soul Ring!

Douluo Calendar, May 25th, 2625.

Great Ming Calendar, May 25th.

The historical records of the Great Ming Kingdom state:

[The eighth king of the Starry Sky Kingdom, King Nebula, was assassinated. With rebels seizing power, territory lost, and refugees and bandits running rampant, the Gulei Kingdom—a lackey of the Heaven Dou Empire—saw our nation's peril and launched an invasion. The Starry Sky Kingdom was on the brink of collapse!

A kingdom of six hundred years had entered its final countdown to ruin.

In this moment of crisis, Xu Nian'an, the legitimate son of King Sky Cloud, propped up the falling pillars of the state. Though young, he possessed the resolve to revitalize the kingdom, ascending the throne and changing the name to Great Ming!

He employed the Empty City Strategy and the ruse of diverting the North Sea, drowning two hundred thousand elite troops of the Gulei Kingdom, achieving a total victory!]

"Ah, yes, yes, that's exactly how it should be written. You must stick to the facts. Don't just beautify This King because I am your sovereign; there is no need, absolutely no need."

"Wahahaha~"

Xu Nian'an laughed heartily, putting away the Dragon Emperor Sword in his hand as he chuckled.

"Your Majesty, I dare not, this humble official dare not. I have no other talents, but the one thing I do possess is honesty, and I am absolutely loyal to Your Majesty."

The speaker's voice was clearly male, yet there was something slightly off about the tone; it was evidently someone who had undergone special physical modifications.

"Hehehe, I like honest people like you. From now on, you are the Royal Historian."

"At the founding of the nation, talent is scarce. You are one such person. I have no other requirements, only one: it must be the truth."

After saying this, Xu Nian'an patted the man on the shoulder and turned to leave.

"A bath, This King requires a bath. Prepare it immediately!"

After bathing and changing, Xu Nian'an looked down at his younger brother and felt a twinge of regret.

After three seconds of regret, he rubbed his hands together and turned his gaze toward the system's task panel.

[Main Quest: Demonstrate the majesty of the kingdom. The majesty of the Great Ming Kingdom is inviolable. Bury the two hundred thousand enemy troops of the Gulei Kingdom. (Completed, click to claim reward!)]

"Good luck, good luck, critical hit, critical hit!!!"

Having sensed his own inadequacy in certain areas, Xu Nian'an was now desperate for an adult body to display his... cough, I mean, to display his imperial might.

[Ding, system reward successfully claimed!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: one 200,000-year soul ring! One Myriad Worlds Summoning Card! Two hundred thousand Dragon Guards!]

A 200,000-year soul ring... tsk, tsk, tsk. Damn, that's nearly the age of a Beast King's soul ring.

Not bad, not bad.

One Myriad Worlds Summoning Card.

A white-stockinged, twin-tailed loli, a domineering black-clad CEO-type woman... bring me anyone.

Not bad, not bad.

Two... two hundred thousand Dragon Guards!

Slap!

Xu Nian'an slapped his own forehead.

Damn it, Xu Nian'an felt such regret.

He had just buried the two hundred thousand troops of the Gulei Kingdom, and now the system was rewarding him with an army of two hundred thousand? What was the meaning of this?

Wasn't it obvious?

He should have executed the nine generations of those rebels he had locked in the dungeons; he might have been able to get another ten thousand Dragon Guards out of it.

[Dragon Guard: Though they possess mortal bodies, those who obtain this status have reached the human limit in physical combat power. Obeying your commands is the Dragon Guard's sole duty! (Loyalty: 100%)]

Holy crab, looking at that 100% loyalty, Xu Nian'an felt even more bitter inside.

"Extract!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

"Who goes there? Bold! Who exactly are you people!"

Hearing the panicked tone of the Imperial Guard Commander, Xu Yi, outside, Xu Nian'an felt a bit embarrassed.

"Cough, cough, Xu Yi, come in."

[Ding, triggered main quest: Expand territory (conquer all territory of the Gulei Kingdom), recover lost lands (the other side of the Star Luo Empire's territory)... become the third empire on the Douluo Continent!]

"This... is it really that direct, that fast?"

Hearing the system's main quest, Xu Nian'an's expression shifted. He had to admit, the speed of this vehicle was too fast... oh no, I mean, was this development happening too quickly?

However... how exciting.

Thinking about his upcoming debut before the imperial nobles, Xu Nian'an felt a slight stir of anticipation.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, there are so many Dragon Armor Guards outside... We... we are surrounded!"

"Could it be that the heavens are truly determined to destroy my Xu Clan!"

"After finally waiting for a genius with peerless talent and unmatched strategic brilliance, we are now faced with such a..."

Holy crab, can you stop adding drama to your own role? An NPC should just act like an NPC.

"Shut up, those are my troops."

Upon hearing Xu Nian'an's words, Xu Yi froze, his body stiffening.

"Xu Yi, hear my command!"

"I order you to lead one hundred thousand Dragon Guards and seize control of all territories within the Gulei Kingdom before dawn!"

After the bewildered Xu Yi departed, Xu Nian'an couldn't wait to immerse himself back into the system space.

"Hey, System, can I use this two-hundred-thousand-year soul ring of yours now?"

"If I finish absorbing it and there are any adverse reactions, do you provide treatment?"

"Does this thing come with after-sales service?"

[Ding, all soul rings rewarded by this system are absorbed by the host without restrictions. Excessively powerful energy will be stored and unlocked once the host's body is strengthened to a certain level.]

Hearing the System's response, Xu Nian'an breathed a sigh of relief, but a new problem immediately took its place.

"Hey, System, I don't mind the energy storage and unlocking, but can you not change the color of the soul ring?"

"Look, I definitely won't use it to show off. I'm just worried about you losing face, aren't I? A dignified system host having a first soul ring that's only a hundred years old, isn't that..."

"System, extract the two-hundred-thousand-year soul ring."

Hum~!

The moment Xu Nian'an's voice fell, a beam of blood-red light shot straight into the sky.

Swish~!

Mingxi City.

A massive pile of corpses had been gathered here, and the Holy Spirit Sect was currently performing some bizarre ritual.

In the darkness, a pair of eyes snapped open.

Hum-boom!

At that very moment, a blood-red beam of light shot straight into the sky.

"That direction is... the palace!"

Swish, swish, swish~

The members of the Holy Spirit Sect all looked up in unison.

"You lot continue; I will go and see what is happening."

Long Xiaoyao stepped out, glanced at the many deacons and envoys of the Holy Spirit Sect conducting the ritual, and silently withdrew his gaze.

Whoosh~

"Blood-red... a hundred-thousand-year soul ring? No, this soul power fluctuation far exceeds a hundred thousand years!"

The moment Long Xiaoyao stepped into Xu Nian'an's palace, his eyes widened!

The Dragon Guards led by Xu Yi swept through the Gulei Kingdom with ease.

In reality, the two hundred thousand troops the Gulei Kingdom had fielded were their entire foundation.

Therefore, Xu Yi's forces occupied the entire Gulei Kingdom without any effort.

Overnight, the Sun and Moon Flags of the Great Ming Kingdom were planted throughout the land.

Spies arranged by the Heaven Dou Empire scattered throughout the Gulei Kingdom.

The news spread like a plague.

That very night, the Heaven Dou Empire convened a national assembly.

"What!"

"You say the entire territory of the Gulei Kingdom has been occupied, and the two hundred thousand troops sent to attack the Starry Sky Kingdom have vanished into thin air???"

"Sun and Moon Flag? Great Ming Kingdom? What the hell is that? Is there such a kingdom on the continent?"

The young and vigorous Emperor Xue Ye, currently in his prime, was furious.

What was this?

This was nothing short of a provocation to the majesty of the Heaven Dou Empire!
