Chapter 02: #2 - Section 2
"System, is that you?"
Xuan Ming's mind jolted.
"Yes, I'm here, Host."
The system greeted him.
Xuan Ming: "......"
"Tell me, what is your purpose?"
Xuan Ming took a deep breath and asked.
At this moment, the trepidation of ascending the throne and the surprise of obtaining the system were mixed together, making his heart incomparably complex.
But, he was now.
Surprisingly calm.
For ten years, whether it was his own talent or other factors.
Had failed to bring him any benefits in the struggle for power within the Divine Profound Dynasty.
This forced him to hand over his position.
But now, the appearance of the system made him realize that his opportunity might finally be arriving.
"Reporting to Host: The system's main functions are divided into two types."
"The first is the Sign-In Function: Host can sign in once per day, and each sign-in reward is random, including cultivation empowerment, summoning soldiers, obtaining strange treasures........."
"The second is the Summoning Function: Host can summon a God or Demon from the myriad realms once every month, and the God or Demon will be completely loyal to the Host........."
"Sign-in and summoning."
Xuan Ming's eyes lit up.
He breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.
The system had indeed not disappointed him.
If he could grasp these two functions.
The throne of the Divine Profound Dynasty would be completely stabilized.
"Ding! Today's sign-in count has been refreshed!"
"Does Host choose to sign in?"
The system prompt sounded.
"Sign in."
Xuan Ming leaned slightly against the dragon throne and instructed in his heart.
"I wonder what reward will appear this time."
A trace of anticipation appeared in Xuan Ming's heart.
Currently, he only had the throne in name.
But neither his cultivation nor his power had reached the level of a true Divine Profound Emperor.
"Ding! Congratulations to Host for signing in and obtaining three hundred years of cultivation!"

Chapter 2 Advancement to Half-Saint, Summoning Two Great Gods and Demons
............
[Note: The three hundred years of cultivation obtained from signing in.]
[Is the realm after the Host's own talent has been cultivated for three hundred years.]
[Detecting Host's talent!]
"Converting three hundred years of cultivation..."
"Ding! Confirmed realm: Half-Saint!"
"Is it to be infused immediately?"
A series of system prompts sounded.
Half-Saint!?
Xuan Ming's spirit jolted.
Cultivation in the Southern Continent:
Is divided into five major realms: Acquired Realm, Congenital Realm, Half-Saint Realm, Saint Realm, and God-Demon Realm.
Although Half-Saint is only the third realm.
Its status and strength are no less than calling them Southern Continent Big Shots.
Above them, the Saint Realm Overlords, there are only seven in the entire Southern Continent.
Five of these seven Saints belong to the Divine Profound Dynasty.
The Divine Profound Former Emperor, who passed the throne to Xuan Ming, was one of them.
The remaining six Saints, regardless of whether their identities belong to the Divine Profound Dynasty or outside the Divine Profound Dynasty, are all high above, and worldly affairs can hardly attract their attention anymore.
That is to say, even Xuan Ming's brothers, the strongest forces supporting them behind the scenes, are only Half-Saints.
As long as he obtains this Half-Saint cultivation now.
Xuan Ming himself can deal with all crises.
"With my talent, it would take three hundred years of cultivation to reach the Half-Saint Realm?" Xuan Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of absent-mindedness on his face.
Three hundred years, for a cultivation civilization that values longevity.
Is but a blink of an eye.
But for an individual, it is an incomparably long time.
According to what Xuan Ming knew, even breaking through to the Congenital Realm, the maximum lifespan was only close to two hundred years. Cultivating to Half-Saint in three hundred years, in normal time flow, meant that Xuan Ming would not reach this level in his lifetime.
"Infuse it, System."
Xuan Ming calmed his breath slightly and said.
The imperial throne of the dynasty, the immense power also comes with endless dangers.
After the people of the dynasty react.
Who knows what might happen, targeting Xuan Ming himself.
In this situation, only by becoming stronger himself.
Can he avoid all risks.
"Ding! Infusion begins!"
The system prompt sounded.
Immediately, a large amount of pure energy poured in from an unknown void, constantly infusing into Xuan Ming's meridians.
At the same time, Xuan Ming's aura continued to climb.
Acquired Initial Stage...
Acquired Middle Stage...
...
Acquired Perfection...
Congenital Initial Stage...
...
Finally, it settled at the Half-Saint level!
In an instant, Xuan Ming only felt the blood in his body surge, and his meridians were filled with powerful force. Under this force, Xuan Ming vaguely realized that he could release great power between his gestures.
"This kind of strength?"
Xuan Ming's chest rose and fell slightly.
"Ding, detected that Host has a God-Demon Summoning opportunity!"
"Do you want to summon?"
While Xuan Ming carefully experienced his own strength, the system prompt sounded again.
"Use it."
Xuan Ming said without hesitation.
The Divine Profound Dynasty controls nearly 70% of the Southern Continent's area. The land is vast and rich in resources, and there are billions of creatures. To control such a huge force, just having Half-Saint cultivation is far from enough.
Xuan Ming wanted to make his foundation extremely deep in the shortest possible time. Only in this way could he firmly grasp the Divine Profound Dynasty.
Moreover, being at the center of the imperial power vortex, it was impossible for Xuan Ming to do everything himself. He needed someone trustworthy to act on his behalf.
Therefore, the system's God-Demon Summoning function would naturally not be left unused.
"Ding! Summoning in progress!"
"Please wait a moment, Host..."
"Ding! Summoning successful!"
"Congratulations to Host for summoning the Gods and Demons: Solitary Sword - Sword Saint! Nameless!."
......
Sword Saint! Nameless!
Xuan Ming's spirit shook slightly.
In just an instant.
