Inside the wooden hut, he opened the panel.

[Quest System]: Locked (sealed; unlocks after the game launches) [Game Launch Countdown]: 3,650,100 days, 7 hours, 12 minutes.
Jiang You studied the System Panel. All his attributes had increased, and he had also unlocked a class and the NPC template.
Somewhat amused, he said,
"The player template should unlock in the Fifth Chapter. As for this NPC template, does that mean I count as an elite monster now?"
Then he closed the System Panel. At this stage, it was essentially a mirror that gave him a clear picture of his strength.
He rose, pushed open the door, and stepped out of the wooden hut.
An Eagleman warrior clad in bronze armor and holding a Bronze Spear stood guard outside. Seeing Jiang You emerge, the warrior said happily,
"You, you're done with your training!"
Jiang You patted Liang on the shoulder and smiled.
"Thanks for your hard work, Liang!"
"Hahaha! Guarding your door was no trouble at all!"
Liang laughed heartily.
"All right, now that I'm out, you don't need to stand guard here anymore. Go about your business."
Jiang You smiled.
"You, I've got nothing to do right now anyway. Could you show me how strong you've become?"
Liang asked curiously.
Every Eagleman longed to become a transcendent.
"As far as strength goes, that Deer-Type Magical Beast we encountered before should be no match for me now!"
With that, Jiang You raised a Bronze Spear. With a slight exertion, purple lightning wreathed its tip. He put his strength into the throw and hurled it beyond the village.
With a bang, a crater a meter across appeared in the ground.
"That's incredible!"
Liang and the Eaglemen drawn by the commotion all exclaimed in admiration.
"With You here, our High Barbarian Mountain Tribe is finally growing strong!"
Watching his cheering tribespeople, Jiang You was delighted as well.
After acquiring his class, he could see the path of transcendence ahead, giving him hope of growing stronger step by step.
The baptism in titan and dragon blood, in particular, had greatly increased his body's potential.
Given enough time, he believed he would have no trouble reaching at least the legendary rank.
After all, with the experience of his previous life, he could hardly fall too far behind.
In the days that followed.
Jiang You instructed his tribespeople to forge more Bronze Weapons and armor plates, and to stockpile food.
He also frequently flew out from High Barbarian Mountain to explore the surrounding terrain, searching for somewhere suitable for the Eaglemen to hide and live in seclusion.
The earth-shaking war between the titans and dragons was about to begin. Even legendary beings might not survive, let alone a newly advanced transcendent like him.
His search turned up quite a few magical beast habitats.
After surveying the surrounding area, Jiang You decided to fly farther afield.
He packed his gear for a long journey and spent seven days and nights traveling.
He traveled ten thousand li east, reaching the shores of the Eastern Sea.
According to ancient legends, the ocean belonged to the Sea Folk. Apart from the titans and dragons, no one dared make their home along its shores.
Jiang You flew along the coast for several days and discovered a towering mountain rising beside the sea. The surrounding area was rich in resources, and aside from a few magical beasts, there was no sign of intelligent life.
"This is nothing less than a paradise bestowed upon the High Barbarian Mountain Tribe by heaven!"
"When the war begins, I'll bring my tribespeople here. However terrifying the Sea Folk might be, could they compare to the War of the Titans and Dragons, which nearly shattered heaven and earth?"
One year later.
Jiang You trained on High Barbarian Mountain as usual. Perhaps thanks to the titan and dragon blood, his cultivation progressed extremely quickly.
In just one year, he had advanced from level 1 to level 5 as a Thunder Wielder, reaching the pinnacle of the first transcendent tier, the Formal Rank.
The next stage was the second transcendent tier, the Master Stage.
So he entered the Sea of Spirit once more and created the advanced class for the Thunder Wielder: Wings of Thunder!
That day.
Just as he was about to begin his breakthrough atop a blue stone, the desolate call of a Bronze Horn rang out.
A voice like a wind sweeping through the heavens seemed to descend from above the clouds!
"Tell your chief to come out!"
When Jiang You arrived atop the stone cliff, the Eaglemen Envoy seemed surprised to find that he was a transcendent Eagleman, and the envoy's tone softened somewhat.
The envoy raised a stone spear high and proclaimed,
"By order of the Royal Court, all able-bodied young Eaglemen of the High Barbarian Mountain Tribe are conscripted! Proceed to Heavenly Mountain, the Eaglemen Ancestral Court, and await orders!"
Hearing those words, a thought flashed through Jiang You's mind.
The war that would devastate heaven and earth had finally begun!
Before you continue
