Chapter 4

System, how am I supposed to obtain National Fortune Value again?

Liu Bian asked the system.

Ding, reply to host: the host's forces growing stronger, the populace's recognition of the host, expanding territory, the host completing host quests, hidden quests, etc., can all yield National Fortune Value.

Upon hearing the system's reply, Liu Bian felt relieved in his heart, Good, good, it's not that hard to obtain.

By the way, system, how should I cultivate my technique?

Liu Bian thought that the technique sent by the system had not yet been cultivated; he had never seen a cultivation method before, and upon first seeing it, he truly did not know how to cultivate.

Ding, the technique obtained from the system can be cultivated directly by clicking; the system helps the host reach the entry level, after which the host can cultivate on their own.

After hearing the system's reply, Liu Bian was overjoyed; this system is really thoughtful, knowing he wouldn't cultivate, it directly helped him get started.

After getting started, relying on his talent it's not a walk in the park; primordial grade talent and bloodline physique are not just empty talk.

By then, I will definitely be an invincible existence of my level; challenging higher levels will not be a dream.

System, can I now cultivate the Supreme Emperor Art?

Ding, the Supreme Emperor Art is divided into the Mortal Realm Chapter and the Immortal Realm Chapter; the Mortal Realm Chapter is divided into nine layers, each layer representing a realm, corresponding respectively to the warrior realms of Postnatal Realm, Innate Realm, Martial Ancestor Realm, Martial King Realm, Martial Emperor Realm, Martial Venerable Realm, Martial Saint Realm, Martial God Realm, and Martial Emperor Realm.

Ding, it is detected that the host possesses the Supreme Emperor Body and has met the requirements to cultivate the Supreme Emperor Golden Dragon Art; shall we begin cultivation?

System, begin cultivation.

Liu Bian hurriedly told the system, and immediately a huge amount of information flooded his mind.

Supreme Emperor Art, primordial grade technique, only those with the Supreme Emperor Body can cultivate it; cultivating the Supreme Emperor Art can transform into the Supreme Emperor Dragon Emperor True Dragon, aweing all heavens and myriad realms, commanding the universe, controlling the Heavenly Dao, governing all myriad Daos, and imposing imperial presence over all heavens.

The emperor ought to be the Lord of All Races, governing all subjects, ruling over hundreds of millions of people, suppressing all enemies, imposing imperial presence over Tian Xia, and being supreme alone.

The emperor ought to educate Tian Xia, lead all subjects, educate hundreds of millions of citizens, and have imperial presence over Tian Xia.

The emperor ought to command all heavens, drive the populace, lead hundreds of millions of soldiers, expand territory, cut down all who do not submit, and make all heavens and myriad realms tremble under imperial might.

The system's grand and resonant voice sounded in his mind; the voice, with its soul-shaking magical power, stirred Liu Bian's soul, and at this moment, the essence of the technique was accurately grasped and comprehended by Liu Bian.

Cultivating the Supreme Emperor Art, one must gather the fortune of all subjects and hundreds of millions of citizens, collect the fortune of all beings, establish a fortune dynasty, gather the fortune of the dynasty to bestow investiture upon all heavens and myriad realms, and borrow the dynasty's fortune to aid cultivation.

Supreme Emperor Art, circulate, fortune empowers!

With a roar from deep within Liu Bian's soul, his whole body was enveloped in a layer of golden light.

As time passed, the golden light gradually coalesced into a golden Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon that wrapped around Liu Bian.

Accompanied by a Dragon Roar, the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon circled Liu Bian a few times before entering his body; as the dragon entered, Liu Bian's cultivation, which had already reached the Postnatal Third Layer, began to surge.

He quickly broke through to the Postnatal Fourth Layer; the surging aura did not stop, continuing until the Postnatal Sixth Layer before it began to ease.

Finally, Liu Bian's aura stopped at the Postnatal Seventh Heaven. Feeling the strong True Qi within his body, Liu Bian's mouth curled up slightly.

The first layer of the Supreme Emperor Art has been cultivated, and my cultivation has reached the Postnatal Seventh Heaven, and this is without using National Fortune Value for cultivation.

If I use National Fortune Value to boost my cultivation, I estimate I could reach the Postnatal Ninth Heaven.

Moreover, after cultivating the Supreme Emperor Art, I also comprehended the martial technique inherent in the technique:

King's Way Three Swords: Sword of Adjudication, Sword of Judgment, Sword of Domination; combined with weapons and equipment, even experts below the Innate Third Level cannot block my single strike.

After slowly calming his excited emotions, Liu Bian murmured.

Hmph, hmph, Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, you two Rebel Thieves of the Chaotic City, wait for me, Emperor; just see how I'll deal with you in three days.

Liu Bian, in high spirits, decided in his heart to definitely kill Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, and the other Rebel Party.

After finishing cultivation, Liu Bian again thought of the Abdication Ceremony three days later, and involuntarily expressed his hatred for Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, pondering how to dispose of them then.

Now I just wait for the Abdication Ceremony in three days; with my current strength, I am already invincible in this world, the Abdication Ceremony poses no threat to me; while I still have three days, I ought to cultivate well to see if I can further increase my strength.

Thinking this, Liu Bian casually found a spot in the Grand Hall, sat cross-legged, intending to cultivate well and meanwhile consolidate his realm.

Holy shit, system, what's going on? This spiritual energy is way too thin!!!

Just as Liu Bian was circulating the technique, he felt that the spiritual energy content in the air was pitifully low.

Based on that spiritual energy concentration in the air, even if he cultivated for three to five years, he wouldn't be able to break through his current realm.

Ding, reply to host: the current world is a Low Martial Low Grade Historical World; the strongest martial force in this world is at most a Super First-Class Realm, and has not even reached the Postnatal Realm.

Moreover, this world has already begun entering the End of Dharma Era; in a thousand years, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy will completely disappear, and the world will formally enter the End of Dharma Era.

Spiritual energy dissipates! In a thousand years, spiritual energy will completely disappear! The world enters the End of Dharma Era!!!

Upon hearing the system's words, Liu Bian was shocked, his mouth agape; speaking of becoming the Han young emperor Liu Bian through transmigration is already enough.

Without the system, this would be a deadly start; only after the system awakened did Liu Bian resolve the current predicament.

While he was still fantasizing about dominating all heavens and myriad realms and shaking the universe, you tell me now that spiritual energy is thin and it's the End of Dharma Era—this is simply too cruel.

Liu Bian suppressed the fear in his heart; he had no choice but to rely on his own qualities and talents.

In any Immortal Martial World, he would be a genius among geniuses, capable of Immortal Ascension and longevity.

If he were to spend his whole life in this world, not to mention Immortal Ascension, even living past a hundred years would be a question.

Having just experienced the joy of cultivation, this powerful and longevity‑granting thing—who in ancient times could refuse it?

By the way, system, the system will surely have a solution.

In his panic, he thought of the system; Liu Bian calmed his anxious mind, became calm, and reflected, feeling he still needed to ask the system.

Given what the system has given him, he simply cannot believe the system would have him wait to die in this world.

System, do you have any way to solve the spiritual energy problem?

Ding, reply to host: the host can vigorously develop his forces, accumulate National Fortune Value, and when the National Fortune Value is sufficient, the host can exchange it in the System Mall for a Gate of World‑Breaking to go to other worlds.

The current world is a Low Martial Low Grade World; the host can also capture the World Consciousness Origin of other worlds, fuse the World Consciousness Origin, and raise the world's level.
