Mythical tier tressure chest

Zhao's mind buzzed with the implications of these announcements, a whirlwind of thoughts cascading through his consciousness as he stood rooted near the Lord's House. The Path of Ascension loomed large in his imagination, a series of cryptic trials and battles that would test not just his strength but his cunning, his resolve, and the very essence of his leadership. The titles "1st Ascender" and "Pioneer of Ranks" were no mere accolades—they were beacons of his destiny, markers of a journey that could redefine his place in Central Land's vast tapestry of power and history. The permanent 10% stat boost for his subjects was immediate and tangible, a ripple of energy he could almost feel coursing through the air of Abyss, strengthening every soldier, every worker, and every structure under his command. His influence had surged by 50%, a subtle yet profound shift that he sensed in the way his soldiers' eyes lingered on him with renewed reverence, their loyalty deepening without a word spoken. But his attention was abruptly drawn to the treasure chests that materialized before him, their sudden appearance slicing through his reverie like a blade through silk, pulling his focus to the radiant promise they held.

He turned to Elara, who stood ready with her analytical tools, her presence a steady pillar amid the storm of revelations. "Prepare to examine the contents," he instructed, his voice firm but tinged with excitement, a rare tremor betraying the anticipation that surged within him like a tide threatening to overflow. "This chest is our next step—it could be the key to everything we've been building toward."

Elara nodded, her eyes wide with awe as she positioned herself beside him, her hands steady despite the nervous energy coursing through her, her fingers gripping her tools with the precision of a master craftsman. Her breath quickened slightly, her gaze darting between Zhao and the chest, as if she could already sense the magnitude of what lay within. The soldiers—Valorn, Balor, Lyra, and the rest of the Eternal Legion—gathered in a disciplined semicircle around them, their Solfare weapons and Blue Soul Armor gleaming in the morning light, casting faint reflections across the ground like shards of captured fire. Their breaths were held in anticipation, their disciplined silence a testament to their training, yet their eyes betrayed their curiosity, their eagerness to witness the unveiling of treasures that could elevate their lord—and by extension, themselves—to new heights. The territory's hum intensified, the system's energy resonating through the air like a heartbeat, amplifying the moment's weight as Zhao placed his hand on the chest's lid, his fingers brushing against the ancient wood, its texture rough yet warm beneath his touch.

With a deep breath, he lifted it, the creak of ancient wood echoing like a call from the ages, a sound that seemed to reverberate through the very soul of Abyss, stirring the air with a whisper of forgotten power. A blinding golden light erupted from within, bathing the territory in a radiant glow that illuminated every corner, casting long shadows that danced across the ground like specters of the past. The system's voice rang out with a series of chimes, each note crisp and resonant, a herald of the wonders about to be revealed.

Zhao's breath caught as he lifted the Unknown Ranked Pet Egg, its surface warm and vibrant beneath his fingers, a faint hum emanating from within that pulsed in rhythm with his heartbeat, as if the life inside were already attuned to him. The egg was a crystalline marvel, its surface swirling with colors beyond description—shades of deep violet, shimmering gold, and iridescent blue that shifted like liquid light, defying any attempt to pin them down. It was heavier than it looked, its weight a comforting presence in his hands, and the system provided its details, the golden text glowing with an air of enigma.

|Unknown Ranked Pet Egg|

Description: An egg of unclassifiable origin, its rank beyond the system's current understanding. Hatches into a pet with unknown potential and achievements. Grows with the lord, adapting to their needs and strengths.

Special Note: It requires nurturing through combat and resources to hatch; its nature remains unknown until it emerges.

The egg's mystery captivated Zhao, its potential a vast, uncharted expanse that mirrored his own ambitions. He could feel the faint stirrings of life within it, a whisper of power waiting to be unleashed, and he imagined what it might become—a companion that could grow alongside him, adapting to his every need, its strength tied to his own ascent through the Path of Ascension. The requirement for combat and resources to hatch intrigued him, suggesting a bond forged through battle, a creature that would thrive on the chaos and glory of his conquests.

Next, he examined the Dragon Nest, its intricate design pulsating with a faint roar as he lifted it, the weight of its power sending a thrill through his veins. The structure was a miniature marvel, its surface carved with scales and claws, its edges glowing with a draconic aura that seemed to pulse in time with his own heartbeat, resonating with the Dragon God Blood within his Supreme God Devouring Omniversal Physique.

|Dragon Nest|

Description: A sanctuary crafted by the Dragon Progenitor, capable of summoning and nurturing dragons. Enhances draconic abilities and provides a haven for dragon-related entities.

Stats:

Summons blooded Dragons depending on the territory level (Currently 10)

The functions will update with territory-level

The Dragon Nest was not just a tool—it was a legacy of the Dragon Progenitor, a sanctuary that promised to bring forth dragons to serve Abyss. The idea of commanding ten blooded dragons at his current Bronze Tier 1-star level sent a surge of anticipation through Zhao, his mind already envisioning a sky darkened by their wings, their roars shaking the earth as they defended his territory or struck at his enemies. The note that its functions would update with territory level hinted at even greater potential—perhaps more dragons, stronger breeds, or new abilities as Abyss grew. He saw it as a perfect complement to his own draconic powers, a means to amplify his strength and extend his influence through living, breathing allies.

|SSS grade class change certificate|

Description: A class change certificate that gives an SSS grade class, SSS classes are unique as they are the only ones of their type.

The SSS-grade class change certificate was a parchment of shimmering gold, its edges flickering with an ethereal light, its surface inscribed with runes that seemed to shift and writhe as he held it. Zhao studied it closely, the weight of its rarity pressing down on him. An SSS-grade class was not just a title—it was a singular destiny, a role unique in all of Central Land, tailored to his path and power. The possibilities it offered were vast, a chance to redefine his capabilities, perhaps aligning with his draconic nature or the Path of Ascension itself.

|Class equipments (SSS grade)|

Description: A set that provides the required items for your class.

Stats:

Increases subject loyalty by 50% (caps at maximum).

Grants active skill: Sovereign Command – Once daily, issue a command that boosts allied attack and defense by 50% for 30 minutes.

The Class equipments (SSS grade) materialized as a set of five items—a crown, a cloak, a scepter, a ring, and a pair of gauntlets—each piece radiating an aura of authority and power. The crown was forged from a dark metal veined with gold, its points sharp like dragon claws; the cloak shimmered with a deep blue hue, its fabric flowing like water yet tough as steel; the scepter glowed with a faint crimson light, its head shaped like a dragon's maw; the ring bore a gem that pulsed with energy; and the gauntlets were etched with scales, their grip unyielding. The 50% loyalty boost would solidify his command over Abyss, while Sovereign Command offered a tactical edge, amplifying his forces in critical moments.

"My lord, this… these are things supreme-ranked empires won't even hope of seeing in their lifetime," Elara sighed, her voice a mix of awe and disbelief as she stared at the items, her analytical tools trembling slightly in her hands, her breath catching as she struggled to process their magnitude. "Just that pet egg is capable of making a war start between gods—it's beyond anything we've encountered, a relic of power that defies comprehension."

But Zhao knew what she was saying was true, the weight of her words sinking into his mind like a stone into deep water, stirring ripples of realization. He understood the gravity of these treasures, their potential to shift the balance of power in Central Land, to ignite conflicts among the mightiest beings if their existence were known. He knew he had to become stronger to wield them effectively, to protect them from those who would seek to claim them. He decided against using the SSS-grade class change certificate for the time being, his instincts urging caution—such a unique class deserved careful consideration, a choice to be made when he fully grasped the Path of Ascension and the trials it would demand.

Zhao agreed, his voice calm but resolute as he processed the implications, his mind already weaving a strategy to harness these treasures. "We'll nurture the egg with combat energy and resources—Elara, oversee its care, ensure it's exposed to the Knights' training and whatever we can spare from the warehouse. The Dragon Nest will be placed near the Lord's House; I want those dragons summoned as soon as possible to bolster our defenses and enhance my own power. The class change certificate and equipment… I'll hold onto them for now. We need to understand their full potential before committing."

He then turned to the enhanced blueprints from the territory upgrade: the Divine Forge and Celestial Alchemy Lab, their significance already etched into his mind from the system's earlier announcements. He wanted to ensure their roles were clear, their power fully grasped before moving forward. The system had detailed their capabilities, and he leaned into their descriptions, seeking every nuance.

|Divine Forge|

Description: A forge of divine origin, capable of crafting artifacts that rival the gods' creations. Comes with an SSS-rank worker, Forgemaster Kael, skilled in all forms of metallurgy and enchantment.

Stats:

Increases crafting speed by 300%.

Reduces resource costs by 75%.

Allows creation of divine-tier items.

The Divine Forge was more than a workshop—it was a crucible of divine creation, a place where the raw materials of Central Land could be transformed into artifacts of unparalleled power. Its sleek, obsidian structure shimmered with a faint golden light, its surface etched with runes that pulsed with the heat of a thousand suns. The 300% increase in crafting speed meant that Kael could produce weapons and armor at a pace that defied mortal constraints, turning days of labor into mere hours. The 75% reduction in resource costs was a boon for Abyss's growing needs, allowing Zhao to stretch their vast stockpiles—500 million iron ore, thousands of Macre Red Stones—into an arsenal that could equip an empire. The ability to create divine-tier items hinted at gear that could surpass even the Dragon Slaying Swords, perhaps forging weapons imbued with the essence of gods or armor that could withstand the wrath of titans.

|Celestial Alchemy Lab|

Description: A lab infused with celestial energy, capable of producing elixirs and compounds beyond mortal limits. Comes with an SSS-rank worker, Alchemist Veyra, master of potions and transmutation.

Stats:

Increases potion potency by 200%.

Reduces alchemy resource costs by 50%.

Enables creation of celestial-tier elixirs.

The Celestial Alchemy Lab was a sanctuary of celestial power, its crystalline walls glowing with a soft, ethereal light that seemed to shift like the stars themselves. The 200% increase in potion potency meant that Veyra could brew elixirs that doubled the strength, speed, or resilience of his soldiers, turning ordinary men into warriors of legend with a single draught. The 50% reduction in resource costs allowed her to maximize the meat, leather, and other materials from the lizardmen, stretching their utility into a vast array of concoctions. The ability to create celestial-tier elixirs promised potions that could rival the nectar of the gods—elixirs that might heal wounds instantly, grant temporary invincibility, or awaken latent powers within his legion.

Forgemaster Kael and Alchemist Veyra materialized nearby, their SSS-rank presence radiating power that seemed to ripple through the air, a tangible force that made the soldiers' eyes widen in awe. Kael, a towering figure with molten-orange eyes that glowed like embers, stood with a hammer slung over his shoulder, its head etched with runes that pulsed with heat. He bowed deeply, his voice a deep rumble that carried the weight of a forge's bellows. "My lord, I am Forgemaster Kael. My forge will craft artifacts worthy of your legend—give me your materials, and I'll shape them into tools of divine might, weapons that can cleave through mountains and armor that can withstand the wrath of the heavens."

Veyra, a lithe woman with silver hair that flowed like liquid starlight and eyes that shimmered with celestial brilliance, stepped forward, her movements graceful yet deliberate, her voice soft yet commanding, resonating with an otherworldly calm. "And I am Alchemist Veyra, my lord. My lab will brew elixirs to elevate your forces beyond mortal limits—name your need, and I'll concoct it, whether it's a potion to mend the broken or a draught to unleash the divine within."

Zhao Looked at duo happily as he went on the next topic in hand.
