Before Wang Tian could utter a word, the tranquil silence of the chamber shattered under a cascade of ethereal tones.
[Ding!]
[New Quests have been issued.]
Lines of golden script unfolded across the System screen, each glowing with divine authority. The faint hum of celestial music filled the air as the notifications appeared one after another.
[1. Reach Qi Gathering Realm – Completed.]
[2. Reach Foundation Establishment Realm – Completed.]
[3. Reach Core Formation Realm – Completed.]
[4. Reach Nascent Soul Realm – Completed.]
[5. Reach Soul Formation Realm – Completed.]
[6. Become Wang Family Patriarch – Completed.]
The crisp chime of the System resonated through his consciousness, ringing with the clarity of a temple bell beneath the stars.
Wang Tian blinked once, a wry smile forming on his lips. “System, you’re rather late to this,” he said softly, voice tinged with both amusement and relief. “But fine—better late than never.”
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, Host, for completing all listed quests. The System will now issue corresponding rewards.]
Radiant light unfurled, shimmering like divine silk as the rewards appeared before him, one after another.

As the last notification shone across the hall, Wang Tian stood frozen for a heartbeat.
Each item radiated a profound aura that stirred the latent qi in the room. The collection of rare pills alone could elevate an entire generation of cultivators. The treasures glittered before him like the blessings of heaven descending upon a chosen heir.
He exhaled slowly, awe threading through his words. “Such abundance… so many pills and achievement points. Even the Flying Ship—its market cost alone rivals a million mid-grade spirit stones. To think I now own one without spending a single coin. And this Spirit Map… it’s perfect for guiding the clan’s expansion.”
He paused, his gaze falling on one particular name pulsing on the list—Attribute Eyes. Curiosity flared. “System, what is the use of these Attribute Eyes?”
The familiar chime sounded again, calm and mechanical yet carrying a subtle undertone of reverence.
[Host, the Attribute Eyes will allow you to perceive the elemental and spiritual attributes of others. You will see their affinities, strengths, and hidden flaws. No disguise or cultivation concealment can evade your sight.]
Wang Tian’s lips curved slightly. “Interesting. That could change everything in how I lead the clan.”
Before he could explore the new power further, a hurried voice echoed from beyond the chamber doors.
“Gu Mo greets the Patriarch! Young Master Jian has awakened. Miss Feng requests your presence!”
Wang Tian’s head snapped up instantly. His expression, once serene, shifted to one of eager relief. In a flash, the System’s light faded as he strode toward the exit.
“He’s awake? Truly?” Wang Tian’s tone carried hope and disbelief intertwined.
“I dare not deceive the Patriarch,” the servant replied, bowing deeply.
At those words, a burden seemed to lift from Wang Tian’s chest. For days, worry had shadowed his heart over his younger brother’s fragile condition. Now, the tension melted away like ice under spring sun.
“He’s finally awake… that is good.” His voice trembled for an instant, revealing the affection behind his composed fa?ade.
Without another moment’s hesitation, Wang Tian left the chamber, his robes fluttering behind him like dark clouds sweeping through the morning wind. The treasures, the power, the achievements—none of it mattered more than this single piece of news.
As his footsteps echoed through the corridors of the Wang estate, the dawn light spilled through the windows, gilding his path in gold. The heavens had granted him endless fortune—but in this moment, what truly stirred his heart was the return of his brother’s life.
