Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

Chapter 937: Chapter 627: System Upgrade?

After calling for the system multiple times with no response, Lu Chen sat down heavily in the chair where he usually handled his governmental duties. However, the panic that had been on his face was now gone, replaced suddenly by a slight smile.

He suddenly felt incredibly relaxed, as if knowing that a beautiful dream was about to end brought him relief.

From the day he acquired the System, he knew there must be a conspiracy behind it, or that the System would eventually leave him.

So, he thought at the time, while he still had the System, he must enjoy it thoroughly.

Now that he had enjoyed all that he could, if it had been in his previous life, he would never have had the power and status he held now, nor would he have so many beautiful wives and concubines.

In terms of personal ambitions, he had obtained everything he had wanted in his previous life, and he had no complaints.

Lu Chen then said to himself, “Come on then, let me take a good look and see who is really behind all this, who is controlling everything!”

Just as Lu Chen was mentally prepared to face the truth, he realized that nothing was happening.

The system was still silent, and there was no other occurrence.@@novelbin@@

This…

Lu Chen suddenly thought of something, so he immediately began circulating the spiritual power within his body. His spiritual power and everything else were still present, only the system was gone.

He had originally thought that all he had was thanks to the system, and now that the system had disappeared, everything he had obtained through it would also vanish.

Unexpectedly, the things he obtained did not disappear with the system.

Strange?

How could this be?

Lu Chen was puzzled. The system had disappeared, shouldn’t that mean that everything behind it should be revealed by now? Why was nothing happening?

Just as Lu Chen was perplexed, suddenly, a familiar female voice came through.

[Ding! Congratulations, host… fizz… reward obtained… fizz…]

Hmm?

The system’s voice was choppy, as if it was being interfered with by something.

Lu Chen was utterly baffled. What was happening?

Lu Chen then tried once more to call out mentally, “System, what is going on with you?”

The system still did not reply to Lu Chen’s voice; the next moment, the system emitted a strange noise.

[System under attack…]

[Attempting self-repair…]

[Repair failed…]

[Attempting repair again…]

[Repair failed…]

[Repair failed…]

…

Subsequently, a string of [Repair failed] appeared in front of Lu Chen.

Lu Chen was stunned.

What level of person had acted, capable of directly targeting his system?

As Lu Chen stared at the continuously popping-up notifications, suddenly, the system’s voice changed.

“Repair failed, System of Lots of Sons and Lots of Blessings requests to evolve autonomously…”

“Evolution successful!”

“Detected external virus, requesting elimination!”

“Elimination successful!”

…

Hearing the sounds coming through, Lu Chen didn’t know what to say for a moment.

The system’s announcement was still in the same female voice as before, but it no longer had a mechanical tone. The previous system announcement sounded like a robot speaking, but now it was like a real person talking.

Lu Chen was now beginning to suspect whether some powerful figure was playing tricks on him from behind the scenes.

While Lu Chen was lost in thought, the system’s prompt sound finally rang again.

“System of Lots of Sons and Lots of Blessings at your service, dear host!”

The system’s announcement voice remained cold, but it sounded noticeably more emotional. Lu Chen responded dazedly, “Uh, hello…”

Lu Chen then cautiously asked, “System, what’s this about?”

The system immediately answered.

“The system had just been attacked by an unknown force. It has now returned to normal, please do not worry, host.”

Lu Chen said, “Oh, I see.”

Lu Chen immediately asked, “What about my system reward?”

“The system reward is the Feihong Immortal Boat, which has been issued. Due to the influence of the unknown force, the host needs to personally go to Fengyin Island to claim it.”

An Immortal Boat?

Lu Chen immediately thought of the building discovered by the Brocade Guard on Fengyin Island. It seemed that the mysterious building was indeed what was known as the Feihong Immortal Boat, and had always been there, only he could not obtain it until a specific time.

Thinking this, Lu Chen fell silent. The system’s voice had changed and he was somewhat not used to it. Moreover, he couldn’t explain why, but he felt the system was no longer like the usual programs, it seemed more like a specific person.

Especially the voice, it was too much like that of a living person.

Lu Chen then asked, “System, my wives and concubines will still receive rewards upon giving birth to children, right?”

This was Lu Chen’s biggest concern at the moment. With such a significant change in the system, no one knew whether he would still receive rewards for having children.

As Lu Chen’s words fell, the system prompt sounded.

“After the system upgrade, the host’s un-pregnant wives and concubines will not be able to bear human offspring.”

Hearing this?

Lu Chen frowned. What did that mean?

Unable to bear human offspring?

Could it mean bearing monsters?

Lu Chen asked, “What does this mean?”

“The host’s lineage is special. With each offspring born, a portion of the host’s destiny and bloodline power will be divided. If the host continues to bear children, there is a great likelihood that the host will not be able to become emperor.”

This…

Lu Chen puzzledly asked, “How is this different from what you initially said? Didn’t you say the more children born, the more rewards? Now you’re saying that having children will instead divide up my destiny?”

The system prompted, “Previously, the system was influenced by a mysterious force, enticing the host to bear more offspring, thereby continuously dividing the host’s destiny and bloodline power. The system has now returned to normal.”

Hearing the system’s words, Lu Chen snorted and then said, “Either way, it’s all up to you. How would I know whether what you said before is true, or what you’re saying now is true?”

The system continued, “The host may choose not to believe, but the host has no choice.”

The next moment, Lu Chen’s identity information popped up.

Host: Lu Chen

Identity: Ninth son of Emperor Shenwu of the Qian Yuan World God Moon Dynasty.

Realm: Creation Realm First Level

Cultivation techniques: Qi Refinement Mantra [Complete], Rejuvenating Skill [Complete], Dragon and Phoenix Yin Yang Skill [Complete], Absorption Technique [Complete], Shadow Shifting [Complete], Heart Controlling Skill [Complete]…

Seeing the system interface before him, Lu Chen fell silent.

How did he have yet another identity?

Lu Chen asked, “Am I not the son of the Sum Emperor?”

The system answered then, “Hundreds of years ago, Emperor Shenwu killed all his children to select and refine a body for reincarnation. He then placed their souls into Soul Beads and dispersed them across various worlds, preparing them with abundant cultivation resources. These resources came in various forms and were obtained by the children of Emperor Shenwu to keep growing.”

“This system was influenced by a mysterious force, enticing the host to bear more offspring, resulting in damage to the host’s bloodline and destiny, slowing the host’s increase in strength.”
