“System, introduce yourself,” Wang Tian said, unable to conceal the excitement flickering in his eyes.

  [Ding!!!]

  [Welcome, Host. The Supreme Clan System is designed to guide you toward unrivaled greatness within the Heavenly Domain. It will provide cultivation resources, guidance, and countless aids tailored to your needs. Your path to becoming a true genius—and raising your clan to supremity—begins now.]

  Hearing the mechanical yet majestic voice echo in his mind, Wang Tian’s eyes widened with disbelief and anticipation.

  “So this is the Supreme Clan System…” he whispered, his heart pounding.

  After regaining his composure, he asked, “System, what are your functions?”

  [Host, this System possesses numerous functions. However, most are currently locked. Once specific conditions are met, they will automatically unlock for your use.]

  “Oh? Then what are these conditions?” Wang Tian asked curiously.

  Yet, no sound came in response. The System had fallen silent once again.

  If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

  He exhaled slowly, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his lips. “So, the System won’t say, huh? Then it must depend on my actions—and my fate.”

  “System, is there… any beginner’s package?” he asked with uncertainty, though a spark of hope flickered in his voice.

  [Ding!!!]

  [Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Beginner’s Package. It has been stored within the System inventory. Would you like to proceed with unboxing?]

  “Proceed,” Wang Tian said decisively.

  [Ding!!!]

  [Congratulations, Host, for obtaining:

  ? 9th-Tier Sword Pill

  ? 7th-Tier Clan Protection Array

  ? 10 million Low-Grade Spirit Stones

  ? 1 million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones

  ? 100,000 High-Grade Spirit Stones

  ? 1 Random Profession Summon Card]

  Wang Tian’s eyes widened in pure astonishment. His breath caught in his throat as he stared at the floating list of treasures.

  “A 9th-Tier Sword Pill?” he murmured. “Emperor-level…”

  He knew how extraordinary that was. Pills were ranked from Tier 1 to Tier 10—Tier 9 pills were known as Emperor Pills, refined only by Emperor-level Alchemists. In the entire Phoenix Wing Empire, even King-tier Alchemists of the 7th tier were rare treasures of the realm.

  And now, one such Emperor-tier pill rested within his grasp.

  The 7th-Tier Protection Array was no less magnificent. Like alchemists, formation masters were graded from Tier 1 to Tier 10—those who could craft such an array were revered across empires.

  Then came the Spirit Stones—the world’s main currency and cultivation energy source.

  100 Low-Grade Spirit Stones equaled 1 Mid-Grade, and 100 Mid-Grade equaled 1 High-Grade.

  “Hahaha! With this much wealth, I might just be the richest man in the Eastern Province!” Wang Tian burst into laughter. The weight of his responsibilities momentarily lifted, replaced by childlike joy.

  At the end of the list lay one last prize—the Random Profession Summon Card. Wang Tian raised a brow, curiosity glinting in his eyes.

  “System, what is this card used for?” he asked.

  [The Random Profession Summon Card allows the Host to summon a professional master. The lowest possible rank is Tier 5, while the highest may far exceed imagination. The summoned master will be wholly loyal to the Host.]

  Wang Tian’s pupils dilated slightly. “A Tier 5 master at the lowest? That’s incredible…”

  A faint smile curved across his lips. “I’ll use it once I return to my courtyard.”

  He straightened his posture, confidence radiating from his eyes. “System, explain the currently available functions.”
