Chapter 2: Activation of the Fate Gear and System Binding

Chapter 2: Activation of the Fate Gear and System Binding

Upon hearing the conversation between the two caregivers, Xiao Yu suddenly stopped in his tracks, countless thoughts flashing through his mind.

The timeline, confirmed!

Qian Xunji's demise, Bibi Dong's ascent to power, and the arrival of God King Tang San. This signified the commencement of the events from the original narrative. At this juncture, Dai Mubai and Oscar were likely around two or three years old, while Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing would be born within the following year. The day when the Hundred Thousand Year Rabbit would transform wasn't far off either.

"Ding, detection of the official commencement of the Douluo Continent plot. The Holy Realm system initiates host binding."

"The Holy Realm system? Wasn't that the game I played before I transmigrated?"

Seated in his room, Xiao Yu was momentarily taken aback, then puzzled, "Wait a minute, isn't that game based on Saint Seiya? How did you end up in the Douluo Continent?"

"Guess!"

A cold, mechanical voice echoed in Xiao Yu's mind.

"I won't guess! If I knew, you wouldn't have suddenly appeared to startle me!"

Xiao Yu complained helplessly, but his optimistic nature quickly brushed aside these doubts, "Whatever, it's still a cheat regardless of its origin. But system, I've been here for a year, why are you only just arriving?"

The mechanical voice responded, "Partly because the plot here hasn't yet begun. Additionally, I've been integrating and adjusting the rules of this world. As you mentioned, I was developed based on the Saint Seiya background, so there are significant disparities from the Douluo Continent's background, necessitating adjustments."

"I see."

Xiao Yu nodded and continued to inquire, "So, what functions does this cheat of yours possess?"

"The original function allowed the host to summon characters from Saint Seiya upon completing tasks set by the system. These tasks corresponded to the development of the world's plot, hence the binding only upon the commencement of the official plot."

"But after incorporating the rules of this world, the system autonomously developed new functions: the Mall Exchange and Soul Spirit Bestowal. With the Mall Exchange, the host can use diamonds obtained from completing tasks to exchange for necessary items, such as the unique soul bones of this world."

"The Soul Spirit Bestowal function is planned only once for the host, existing in the host's Newbie Gift Pack. Once obtained, it cannot be used again."

"So, you're saying I can establish a Holy Realm directly here on the Douluo Continent? As long as I summon enough strong individuals, dominating the entire continent isn't just a dream!"

Xiao Yu's face lit up with excitement. "This cheat is amazing! But system, what's the connection between summoning characters and completing tasks? Are there any restrictions?"

"The original system tasks were categorized into Steel, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Sacred levels. After integrating the rules of this dimension, they've been modified to correspond to the level of soul rings, namely: White (ten years), Yellow (a hundred years), Purple (a thousand years), Black (ten thousand years), Red (a hundred thousand years), and Gold (a million years). Each completed task can randomly summon a Saint Seiya plot character. There's no limit to the number of characters summoned, but the minimum level of summoned characters increases based on the completed task's level."

"For example, if the host completes a White-level task, the summoned character will be at the level of substitute Saint Seiya characters like Cassios. If the host completes a Purple-level task, the summoned character will be at the level of Saint Seiya characters of Silver rank. The specific potential conversion to innate soul power level corresponds to the following situations."

As the conversation ended, Xiao Yu felt a golden light shimmer before his eyes, and several lines of golden text appeared:

"White-level Summoned Character Innate Soul Power Range: 0.5 level - 10 levels."

"Yellow-level Summoned Character Innate Soul Power Range: 2 levels - 10 levels."

"Purple-level Summoned Character Innate Soul Power Range: 5 levels - 10 levels."

"Black-level Summoned Character Innate Soul Power Range: 7 levels - 10 levels."

"Red-level Summoned Character Innate Soul Power Range: 9 levels - 10 levels."

"Gold-level Summoned Character Innate Soul Power Range: 10 levels, and the summoned character's starting level shall not be lower than level 95."

"Note: The summoning privileges reward for completing tasks can be accumulated for exchange. Ten White-level summoning privileges can be exchanged for one Yellow-level summoning, ten Yellow-level summoning privileges for one Purple-level summoning, and so forth. However, the Gold-level summoning privileges can only be exchanged once a year."

"Note: Due to the influence of the world dimension, characters from the Saint Seiya dimension will be weakened and suppressed upon arrival in this world. Furthermore, the level of summoned characters upon arrival in this world is randomly determined. Their soul power will increase with cultivation in this world and will not peak immediately upon arrival."

"Randomly determined?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu immediately asked, "Does that mean even if we summon the strongest Gold Saints, their initial level upon arrival in this world might be just awakened innate soul power, but with their potential, as long as they don't die prematurely, they will eventually become the strongest in this dimension, perhaps even attaining the title of Douluo Divine Emperor or even Divine Grade?"

"Correct!" the system affirmed.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed, "I thought I could just summon those super-strong individuals and easily dominate the Douluo Continent. It seems it's not that simple; this is still a process of cultivation and development."

"That's right."

After spending about two hours studying the system, Xiao Yu stood up, stretched lazily, rubbed his slightly numb knees from sitting for a long period, and then moved to lie on his bed before continuing to communicate with the system, "System, you mentioned a Newbie Gift Pack when you introduced the Soul Spirit Bestowal function, right?"

"That's correct."

"Can I open it now?"

"You can."

After receiving the affirmative response from the system, Xiao Yu continued, "But since I'm only five years old now and haven't reached the age of martial soul awakening in this world, the obtained martial soul will remain dormant until I reach the awakening age."

"Okay, then let's open it!"

Xiao Yu chose to open it without hesitation; automatic martial soul awakening was something he eagerly desired. This would also save him from having the Soul Masters from the Soul Hall come to awaken him in the future.

If his martial soul awakening displayed excessively strong power, it might attract the attention of the Soul Hall. After all, not everyone was Tang San or that blind Douluo, someone.

Xiao Yu wasn't entirely clear, but he vaguely remembered a plot from either the original novel, the manhua, or the anime where Dugu Bo mentioned many outstanding talents who weren't affiliated with the Soul Hall mysteriously dying young.

Though it couldn't be entirely trusted, it couldn't be ignored either. So, Xiao Yu felt it was best not to approach the Soul Hall when his strength was insufficient.
