Oh no! My grandmother made me shoulder the responsibility for eight households!

Chapter 428 System Critical Hit Reward

study.

Lin Chen walked behind the desk, sat down, and closed his eyes.

The three "ding" sounds in my head haven't stopped since this morning; one song is playing on repeat.

"Alright, let's see what good stuff you've given us."

With a thought, Lin Chen saw the system panel unfold before his eyes.

Three messages, lined up neatly in one place.

Each one was glittering gold, so bright that he could barely open his eyes.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a direct descendant bloodline, ensuring the continuation of your family's legacy.]

[Reward 1: The host's cultivation level will be raised to the mid-stage of the Celestial Immortal realm (the host can freely choose whether to display the breakthrough phenomenon).]

[Reward Two: Thirty-six Celestial Elixirs.]

[Reward 3: The family's inherited divine skill—Dragon God Skill—will be automatically upgraded to the fifth level.]

Lin Chen's lips began to curl upwards after reading the first one.

But it's not over yet.

The second one popped up right after.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a direct descendant bloodline, ensuring the continuation of your family's legacy.]

[Reward 1: The host's cultivation level will be raised to the Great Perfection of the Celestial Immortal realm (the host can freely choose whether to display the breakthrough phenomenon).]

[Reward Two: Thirty-six Celestial Elixirs.]

[Reward 3: The family's inherited divine skill—Dragon God Skill—will be automatically upgraded to the fifth level of perfection.]

Two in total, seventy-two Celestial Pills.

From mid-stage Celestial Immortal to Great Perfection Celestial Immortal.

Delicious.

Lin Chen was calculating how many people these pills would be enough to feed when the third message popped up.

He glanced at it, then froze.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a critical hit reward!]

[Reward 1: The host's cultivation level will be raised to the early stage of True Monarch (the host can freely choose whether to display the breakthrough phenomenon).]

[Reward 2: 18 Human Immortal Pills and 3 Celestial Immortal Pills.]

[Reward 3: The family's inherited divine skill—Dragon God Skill—will be automatically upgraded to the sixth level.]

[Reward West: A miniature world, transcending the will of heaven and earth, self-sufficient, and capable of growth...]

Lin Chen stared at the words "Early Stage True Monarch" for a full five seconds.

Then he leaned back in his chair, stared at the ceiling, and didn't move for a long time.

"That was a critical hit."

Lin Chen muttered to himself, his voice slightly unsteady.

After a while, Lin Chen slowly sat down and began to digest the information one by one.

Let's talk about cultivation level first.

He was previously a Great Perfection of a Land Immortal, and apart from those Celestial Immortals who couldn't easily make a move, he was already considered a top-tier fighter in this world.

But now—in the early stages of True Lord.

What does this mean?

Ninety-nine percent of those so-called ancestors and supreme elders in Zhongzhou haven't even touched the threshold of True Monarch, and they never will in this lifetime.

Celestial beings are already the pinnacle of this world.

In the entire Central Continent, the number of publicly known Celestial Immortal level experts is no more than two hands' width.

Moreover, each of them is a top-secret ancestor of various powerful forces, rarely appearing in public, and the kind of person whose lifespan is shortened if they do.

As for the True Lord—

Lin Chen took a deep breath.

True Lord, that is a legendary being.

Celestial Immortals "use" the power of heaven and earth, while True Lords "understand" the power of heaven and earth.

One is a quantitative change, and the other is a qualitative change.

They're not even in the same league.

When celestial-level experts fight, it comes down to who can borrow more and stronger power from heaven and earth.

When True Monarch-level powerhouses fight, they no longer need to "borrow" anything.

One's own body contains a complete cycle of laws; the power of heaven and earth is merely icing on the cake.

More importantly, True Monarch-level powerhouses have already begun to nurture "fragments of the Dao".

To put it simply, this thing is its own set of rules.

Within the scope of their own principles, a True Lord is a god.

You say the sky is collapsing? The True Lord says, "It must not collapse," and the sky dares not collapse.

That's just how unreasonable it is.

Lin Chen leaned back in his chair, staring at the roof beams, going over the information in his mind again and again.

Suddenly, he blurted out, "So now, can I walk sideways?"

After thinking for a moment, Lin Chen shook his head again.

"No, no, we need to keep a low profile."

But the smile on his lips was impossible to suppress.

Next, let's look at the elixirs.

Seventy-two Heavenly Elixir Pills.

One of these things is enough to allow a grandmaster martial artist to steadily break through to the Celestial Realm.

(Those below the Grandmaster level cannot withstand the impact of the medicine.)

Seventy-two, that's seventy-two celestial beings.

The entire Eastern Region probably doesn't have that many Celestials combined.

This time, he took the lead in mass production.

Eighteen Immortal Pills.

Human immortals are also known as terrestrial immortals.

One Human Immortal Pill can enable a celestial being to break through to the realm of a terrestrial immortal.

As for the Celestial Elixir—there are only three.

But each one can enable a person to break through from a terrestrial immortal to a celestial immortal.

Lin Chen looked at the numbers for these pills and muttered to himself:

"Those top-tier powers in Zhongzhou have accumulated their wealth over thousands of years. I wonder if it's enough for my devastating attack this time?"

Then comes the Dragon God Technique.

This technique is a family-inherited divine skill that was awarded last time. It focuses on cultivating the physical body and is irrational.

The first layer is made of copper and iron; ordinary swords and knives won't even leave a mark when they hit it.

The second layer is impervious to swords and spears; even divine weapons cannot break through its defenses.

The third level is impervious to water and fire; bathing in lava and hibernating in ice caves are as easy as playing.

The westernmost level is where one achieves sainthood through physical means, becoming capable of challenging terrestrial deities with just their physical body.

The fifth level grants an indestructible physical body; injuries heal instantly, severed limbs regenerate on the spot, and one cannot die unless their head is chopped into eight pieces.

Now on the sixth floor—

Dragon God Transformation.

Now on the sixth floor—

Dragon God Transformation.

Lin Chen closed his eyes, and a piece of information flooded his mind.

The Dragon God Transformation uses the blood and qi within the body as a guide to unleash the power of the ancient dragon god hidden deep within the bloodline.

After activation, the physical strength, power, and speed increase tenfold.

Duration: one hour.

Cooldown time: one day.

ten times.

A full ten times.

Lin Chen opened his eyes and looked down at his hands.

An ordinary hand, with distinct joints, no different from any other hand.

But he knew that if he clenched his fist and swung it out, he could flatten a mountain.

The cultivation level of a True Monarch in its early stages, plus the tenfold amplification from the Dragon God Transformation—

Lin Chen dared to say that he was invincible within the True Monarch Realm.

As for the Holy One…

Lin Chen decided to put that aside for the time being.

At that level, it's no longer a question of "how strong" or "how weak"; it's an existence in another dimension.

Finally, and most surprisingly to Lin Chen, was the miniature world.

Lin Chen raised his right hand, a thought forming in his mind.

A palm-sized ball of light appeared in the palm of the hand, emitting a soft, pale golden glow.

Inside the sphere of light, there are mountains, water, flowers, and grass.

There are blue skies and white clouds, and the sun, moon and stars.

Small but complete.

[A miniature world, transcending the will of heaven and earth, self-sufficient, and capable of growth.]

[Current area: within a radius of 100 li.]

Capacity for living beings: 3,000.

[As the host's cultivation level increases, the small world can continuously expand.]

Lin Chen stared at the ball of light, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

This thing is a separate space.

A world that belongs entirely to him.

Not within this world, and not bound by its rules.

This means one thing—

Even if the world undergoes a great change, we are not afraid.

He can move his whole family in.

Within a radius of a hundred miles, there are three thousand living beings; that's enough.

Moreover, this thing can grow.

In the early stages, a True Lord's domain is a radius of a hundred miles. What about the middle stage? The later stage? The peak stage?

What about the Holy Venerable and the Great Emperor?

Lin Chen put away the light sphere, leaned back in his chair, and let out a long breath.

"This wave of profits is huge."

Lin Chen stood up, walked around the study twice, and then sat back down.

I've already sorted out all these rewards in my mind.

Cultivation level: early stage of True Monarch, plus Dragon God Transformation, can compete with peak True Monarch.

Elixirs – seventy-two Celestial Elixirs, eighteen Human Immortal Elixirs, and three Celestial Immortal Elixirs.

That's enough for him to build a team that can sweep through the Central Plains.

Small World – a private dimension, a refuge for the whole family.

In addition to their existing wealth.

"So," Lin Chen muttered to himself, a smile playing on his lips, "all that hard work and struggle is nothing compared to going home and having kids."

He laughed at himself after saying that.

Lin Chen stood up, patted his robes, walked to the window, and opened it.

The sunlight suddenly rushed in, warmly bathing my face.

The osmanthus flowers in the courtyard are still in bloom, and their fragrance wafts over in waves.

The sounds of maids laughing and talking, along with the cries of the two little ones, drifted from afar, creating a lively cacophony.

Lin Chen took a deep breath and felt that life was incredibly wonderful.
