Lu Ming stood in front of the chest of the **Lost Shrine**, his gaze fixed on the ancient structure that had defied him until the very last moment. The power emanating from the chest was palpable, and he knew that what lay within would be crucial to the growth of his empire.
With a deep breath, he extended his hands towards the chest and slowly opened it. A golden light enveloped him, momentarily blinding him. When the light dissipated, he found himself with a treasure that surpassed any expectations.
**[System Notification: You have opened the Lost Shrine Chest.]**
**[Reward: 5000 gold coins.]**
**[Reward: New opportunities for improvement unlocked.]**
Lu Ming's eyes shone as he read the list of rewards. With so many gold coins in his possession, he now had the means to expand and upgrade his troops to levels never before seen.
**[System Notification: New upgrades available for Draconic soldiers.]**
- **Upgrade High Draconic Soldiers to Super Draconic Soldiers**: Cost 500 coins per unit.
- **Summoning Draconic General**: Cost 1000 coins.
- **Summoning Draconic Priest**: Cost 1000 coins.
Lu Ming smiled to himself. These new upgrades were exactly what he needed to strengthen his army and defend his territory. He knew that with these resources, his power would increase exponentially. Without wasting any more time, he closed the chest and prepared to return to his territory.
"It's time to upgrade our empire," he muttered as he spread his wings and took flight towards his stronghold.

**Back at the Nether Dragon Empire**
When Lu Ming returned to his stronghold, he was greeted with the sound of the draconic workers' ceaseless work, continuing to expand the structures and improve the territory's defenses. However, Lu Ming knew that he couldn't rely on the structures alone; he needed more military strength.
He walked to the **Nether Dragon Altar** and activated the summoning system.
**[System: Summoning activated.]**
Lu Ming began to summon new troops using the coins he had obtained. The magical light of the altar shone brightly as dozens of **draconic soldiers** and **draconic workers** began to materialize in front of him.
**[System: You have summoned 50 draconic soldiers. Cost: 2,500 coins.]**
**[System: You have summoned 30 draconic workers. Cost: 1500 coins.]**
After the summons, Lu Ming smiled with satisfaction. He knew that these soldiers would be vital to protecting his territory and expanding his domain. But he wouldn't stop there. He had much bigger plans.
"Time to upgrade the high soldiers," he thought as he accessed the new upgrade option.
