The Trial

In the vast starry sky 45 light-years away from Earth, spatial ripples suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and a deep blue E-class spaceship appeared out of thin air.

Inside the control room.

Looking at the mysterious and boundless starry sky, Lin Yan commanded, "Wind Queen, continue to the target location."

"Yes, Master!" Wind Queen replied immediately.

The deep blue spaceship accelerated through the boundless starry sky, rapidly heading towards the asteroid belt.

This time, he was not alone.

Beside Lin Yan stood a pretty young girl. She was tall and slender, with delicate eyebrows, bright eyes, and black hair tied in a ponytail, giving her a somewhat heroic air.

She wore light blue armor adorned with exquisite patterns, and carried a sword on her back with a green snake coiled around its hilt, twisted like a rope, resembling a bolt of lightning.

He was also holding a book that looked like it was made of dark blue metal, faintly glowing with a blue light, and exuding an aura that made people's hearts tremble.

Lin Tangtang looked at the outdoor simulation and asked with some confusion, "Brother, where are we going?"

She was honing her combat skills in a yet-to-be-existed Cave World when Lin Yan suddenly pulled her here, and she didn't even know what was going on.

Judging from the brief time frame in the Dark Universe, this place should not be too far from Earth.

Although she knew that she was far weaker than her brother, Lin Tangtang believed that she had ideals and aspirations and did not want to rely on simply piling up resources to break through like her parents. She wanted to hone her own abilities.

The progression from the first to the Cosmic Level Nine Cosmic level was achieved using Nutrient Pod, while the Planetary level to the Stellar level, and from the Stellar level to the Cosmic level, relied on her own spirit and will.

Lin Yan also supports this.

Although he doesn't expect everyone around him to become a strong person, which is unrealistic, eternal life is so long that there must be something worth striving for, and cultivation is undoubtedly the best one.

Once he reaches a higher status, Lin Yan is confident that he can cultivate all his relatives into immortals. However, ordinary Immortal God like his parents have basically reached their limit. As for Wen Zhi'an and Lin Tangtang, they have greater potential and it would be better if they could go further.

"I've discovered an opportunity, and I need your help with something," Lin Yan said with a smile.

"An opportunity?" Lin Tangtang's eyes lit up.

She was well aware of her brother's current status and identity. What could be considered an "opportunity" for Lin Yan? It couldn't be anything simple.

"How could such a small Milky Way Galaxy have an opportunity that our His Highness Lin Yan would value?" she said with a grin.

"You're so cheeky." Seeing her bright smile, Lin Yan couldn't help but recall the time when Lin Tangtang asked him to call her "sister." She also often acted as a third wheel in front of him and Wen Zhi'an. He couldn't help but flick her forehead.

"Ouch!" Lin Tangtang covered her forehead, pretending to be in pain. "I'm going to tell my sister-in-law when I get back that you bullied me while she wasn't around."

"Huh?" Lin Yan was immediately speechless.

As expected, trusting Lin Tangtang was always a mistake!

He shook his head, then explained, "Do you know about the 'Mountain Sea Realm'?"

"Aren't those the ones set up in the Cave World? It's said that based on deciphered documents, they speculate that they represent Ancient Civilization that existed on Earth 50 billion years ago." She was somewhat doubtful. "Could it be true?"

Lin Tangtang knew who created those Cave World, but she always thought Lin Yan had just made them up.

"Of course it's true," Lin Yan replied. "What I'm looking for now is the Treasure of the Mountain Sea Realm Lord, who was a powerful expert at the Feng Wang level!"

"Feng Wang expert?" Lin Tangtang couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Thinking back to what Earth was like when she was a child, she truly couldn't believe that such terrifying beings as Feng Wang Immortal God existed on Earth in another era.

Knowing the gravity of the situation, she said, "Don't worry, brother, I'll do whatever you say and I'll never hold you back."

Lin Yan nodded.

Trust her one more time.

The spaceship travels through the cosmos at sub-light speed.

Lin Yan's eyes brightened slightly. If it weren't for the opportunity he had encountered, he would have had a hard time knowing how the King Zhenyu had arranged things back then.

Many places were indeed as he had guessed, but the location where he discovered the opportunity was actually a Divine Kingdom Passage built on one of the asteroids, leading to the divine kingdom of the Intelligent life form King Zhenyu.

That's right, his Intelligent life form is Immortal God, and it already possesses strength approaching the level of King Rank.

Intelligent life form are a very special kind of life. They have no souls, and their computing speed can rival that of Immortal God, but they lack the ability to evolve. For example, Wind Queen might be able to cultivate and comprehend with difficulty, but even after billions of years, he would never become immortal.

Of course, they can also possess a certain level of combat power, as they can easily control mechanical bodies, such as a World Lord level Mechanical Puppet. However, this is just a very common practice and does not offer any real benefit to the Intelligent life form itself.

The difficulty of cultivating and evolving Intelligent life form is extremely high. Unless one obtains an "Heart of Evolution" and integrates it into a metal body, and then allows Intelligent life form to reside in it, then... the Intelligent life form will be 100% integrated with the metal body.

Just as the soul corresponds to the body, Intelligent life form will also possess the most precious evolved body.

In this way, the clarity of sensing the Universe Law will soar, reaching at least the level comparable to that of an ordinary human powerhouse.

Secondly, as cultivation progresses, the evolved body will be continuously strengthened, and its flexibility, toughness, and other aspects will become very perfect, just like a real physical body.

Unfortunately, the Heart of Evolution is possessed only by the Mechanical race. It is the most important and core treasure of the Mechanical race, so the Mechanical race controls the Heart of Evolution very strictly and prohibits any Mechanical race from selling the Heart of Evolution privately.

Even if the Mechanical race could produce a large number of Heart of Evolution and cultivate individual Mechanical race, they would absolutely not sell them, no matter how high the price.

Therefore, obtaining the Heart of Evolution is extremely difficult. Each Heart of Evolution costs hundreds of billions of Hun Yuan Unit, which is almost the entire fortune of Feng Wang Immortal God.

Lin Yan didn't know how the Mountain Sea Realm Lord, "Xuan Pin," obtained the Heart of Evolution, but the fact that he was willing to use it on his own Intelligent life form showed how much he valued relationships and treated the Intelligent life form that accompanied him as a brother in life and death.

After he unlocks the opportunity, there are two methods.

One option is to enter directly through the Divine Kingdom Passage, but this time the other party is not in a slumbering state, so doing so would be too impolite.

Secondly, head to another part of the starry sky, an abandoned route, and follow the established procedures.

In the vast divine kingdom, upon the throne of the temple.

The Intelligent life form, whose entire body seemed to be cast in metal, frowned slightly. His gaze seemed to pierce through space, and he saw a deep blue spaceship.

"Cosmic Level Nine being of the Mountain Sea Realm bloodline, no older than 400 years, with Brain Domain Width of 58, wielding the Fifth-tier Force Weapon 'Qingsuo Sword' and one of the Nine Divine Weapons of the Mental Master 'Ling Shen Bing'."

"Heh, that's quite ambitious. These are the most difficult of the fifth-tier weapons. They must have a deep understanding of the Law of Wood and be qualified to enter the test."

He pondered, "I wonder what level her Law Comprehension has reached, and whether she can use these two weapons well."

"But what is her relationship with the man next to her?" The Intelligent life form was somewhat shocked.

"It's only at the Domain Lord level 9, but its brain has been fully developed and even received high recognition from the Light Origin Law. Its bloodline seems a bit strange, but its appearance is very similar. We can wait and see and learn more about it."

He sighed softly, "According to what Master said back then, although the Mountain Sea Realm is shattered, it will condense again. Even if it is different from Master's original intention, there is no other way now."

"However... whether you can inherit your master's treasures depends on your own abilities."

Inside the dark blue spaceship's control room.

Lin Yan's heart skipped a beat. He had already reached the location indicated in the system message, but he had turned off his detection equipment and didn't know what was going on.

"Could it be that they think Tangtang's aptitude isn't good enough?" Lin Yan thought to himself. "But if the hidden conditions aren't met, the opportunity shouldn't be able to be activated."

He was very generous to that Time World Lord, so he certainly wouldn't be stingy with his own sister.

Treasures that enhance the compatibility with the laws, as well as Domain Lord level Bloodline evolution agent, are all arranged. The secret techniques are also the most suitable. In addition, she herself is quite dedicated to cultivation, and now she has a very good understanding of the Law of Wood and Space Law.

After more than three hundred years of cultivation, with the added benefit of the compatibility with the laws, the Ling Shen Bing can even unleash its Fourth Layer form.

If that doesn't work, we'll just have to wait for Luo Feng to return from the Golden Horn Clan.

As Lin Yan was thinking, the starry sky outside the spaceship suddenly changed drastically.

Boom!

The surrounding starry sky seemed to be torn open, revealing a huge gap, and then an immense suction force enveloped the spaceship.

Buzz!

The spaceship shuddered violently. The E-class spaceship's propulsion system was clearly no match for the suction force. After shuddering for a few seconds, it began to spin and was quickly sucked in.

Lin Tangtang was startled. "Brother, what's going on?"

As Lin Yan watched the spaceship gradually enter the gap, he could tell that this was a Space Secret Technique used to draw them into the divine kingdom. Such methods of drawing people into the divine kingdom could only be successfully executed if there was a huge difference in strength.

Of course, the divine kingdom is the lifeblood of Immortal God, and they will not casually take people into the divine kingdom unless they are absolutely certain.

If he wanted to, he could have easily broken through the Tai Sui Tree Spirit, not to mention the power of his own "Hun An" possession, but Lin Yan made no move.

His eyes were calm. "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

A magnificent divine kingdom.

Sea Region of millions of kilometers away from the temple, a deep blue spaceship is hovering in mid-air.

"Come out." A cold voice rang out.

Suddenly—

Wow!

The hatch opened.

Two figures flew out of the spaceship quickly.

Lin Yan looked up and saw a blue dragon in mid-air, somewhat similar to the Azure Dragon in Huaxia mythology. It was nearly a thousand meters long, and a silver mechanical figure stood on its head.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am 'Bai Ze'."

Call!

The Mechanical Lifeform took a step forward and immediately appeared not far in front of them, its blood-red pupils reflecting their figures. "In essence, I am Intelligent life form, as you should be able to see."

"50 billion years ago, my master was the former Mountain Sea Realm Lord — King Zhenyu, a powerful being in the Human Faction who slaughtered a large number of Alien Race powerhouses. However, he ultimately perished in a calamity on the Outer Domain Battlefield."

Bai Ze continued with a hint of sadness, "However, before this, the master had already made preparations and left behind his treasures. Some of them were given to his relatives and friends in the Mountain Sea Realm, while the more important part was sealed away to be given to Mountain Sea Realm lineage."

"A successor who is qualified to receive his treasure and will uphold his Mountain Sea Realm lineage!"

"Are you the people I've been waiting for?" He looked at Lin Yan and the other man with a scrutinizing gaze.

"My coming here is not a coincidence, but rather a result of accidentally learning the secret of the Mountain Sea Realm, which is why I came here specifically," Lin Yan said slowly. "If you are willing to believe me, I am willing to inherit the ambition of King Zhenyu and will be the person you are waiting for."

"The original Mountain Sea Realm has disappeared. 50 billion years have passed, and that planet is now called 'Earth'. The story is quite complicated. Would you like me to explain it in detail?"

"That's not important, I can find out for myself." The Intelligent life form Bai Ze paused for a moment, "But if you want to obtain the master's treasure, you must pass the test."

Lin Yan narrowed his eyes. "I'd like to hear the details."

Bai Ze waved his hand.

Rumble...

In the vast divine kingdom, the land below instantly began to rise, forming a majestic mountain range with an opening hundreds of kilometers wide in its body. Bai Ze pointed towards it and said, "Follow me."

Lin Tangtang looked at Lin Yan, and Lin Yan nodded slightly.

They followed Bai Ze inside.

"Hold head high!"

"Bah!"

The deep, expansive cave walls were faintly black, and the roars of beasts seemed to echo from within. The deeper one went, the more one could feel an invisible, menacing aura that made one's heart tremble.

They stopped shortly afterward.

"We've arrived," Bai Ze said.

"Ao Wu!"

"Roar!"

One after another, roars of beasts rang out.

Lin Yan looked into the distance and frowned slightly.

In the center of the cave was a gladiatorial arena. Apart from the central arena, on the other side were cages containing ferocious beasts that would devour humans. The beasts' eyes blazed with intense bloodlust when they sensed the presence of living people.

Bai Ze said with a hint of reminiscence, "This was a tradition in our Mountain Sea Realm —beast fighting."

"When he was young, the master was a beast fighter. He went through many life-and-death experiences, which stimulated his potential. He possessed a domain at the Planetary level and was eventually adopted by the Tribe Leader at the time. However, he still loved beast fighting and even after he became powerful, he would sometimes fight hand-to-hand with powerful ferocious beasts."

"So even though he was skilled in swordsmanship, his favorite treasure was a pair of gauntlets."

Lin Yan remained silent.

Humans created knife techniques, sword techniques, and so on.

Why?

Because it is possible to create swords that are harder and sharper than human fists and feet, swords became weapons. In reality, most strong people use weapons, but some people do use their fists, though they all use special gauntlets.

Like Yao Hai before him, that's the case.

Bai Ze looked at Lin Tangtang: "You must kill a Domain Lord level Three ferocious beast to be qualified for my training. Once you reach the World Lord level, if you meet the standards, you will have the opportunity to inherit your master's treasures... This is difficult. You can refuse, or you can choose other options, but you will only receive a portion of the resource rewards."

"But I came with my brother, and he's much better than me." Lin Tangtang said, puzzled when the Intelligent life form didn't continue.

She's just here to make a cameo appearance.

When will she reach the World Lord level? That would take forever!

"I know." Bai Ze nodded.

He looked at Lin Yan and said solemnly, "I cannot confirm your identity from your bloodline. Even if I do believe that you are from the Mountain Sea Realm lineage, but your bloodline has changed due to some circumstances, I cannot give you the opportunity to inherit it."

"Unless...she becomes a candidate, I will give her the opportunity to choose because of such special circumstances. Based on her qualifications, I will give you a chance, but your standards will be raised."

Lin Yan frowned slightly.

He had noticed that these ferocious beasts must have been carefully selected and trained, and their combat capabilities were extremely strong. He was aware of Lin Tangtang's strength, and with the advantage of her weapon techniques, she had a better chance of winning, but it was not a sure thing.

"Don't worry, bro, I'll definitely win." Lin Tangtang's spirits lifted upon seeing this, displaying a fearless, youthful energy.

This is a treasure trove Feng Wang expert; what is its value?

I wasn't just here to observe!

Indeed, Lin Tangtang was born for a great purpose!

Lin Yan pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, be careful."

He wasn't willing to risk his sister's life for the sake of the treasure. In fact, unlike before, it was just a treasure arranged by a Feng Wang Limit. With Lin Yan's current strength, there was no risk at all.

If a real crisis occurs, she can simply take matters into her own hands to save Lin Tangtang; her own Plant Lifeform, "Yan Hua," can easily kill the ferocious beast.

Even though this is the other party's divine kingdom, with the Tai Sui Tree Spirit, the other party can't do anything to him for the time being. This time, he even temporarily teleported back the Green Line Devouring Worm and left a clone to guard the Divine Kingdom Passage, so that he could call over his teacher, the Mu Xing Country Lord, to help at any time.

With her strength, she could easily force her way into the divine kingdom.

Certainly.

These are all contingency plans for extreme situations, and Lin Yan still has confidence in Lin Tangtang's abilities.

Lin Yan himself understood that since it concerned a priceless Supreme Treasure, it would be strange if the test requirements were not difficult. The requirement of only being at the Domain Lord level Three was already not high. The formal test at the World Lord level mentioned by "Bai Ze" was the real highlight.

"Alright then." Bai Ze snapped his fingers.

Wow!

The arena in the cave city was suddenly brightly lit, and a cage was suddenly opened.

"Waaah..."

A ferocious beast that looked like a tiger, with two horns on its head and two wings on its back, appeared directly in the arena like a whirlwind. It was over two hundred meters long, with sharp claws like scythes, and its eyes were full of murderous intent.

A cold glint flashed in Lin Tangtang's eyes, and her figure flashed, like a streak of blue light.

Laugh!

Draw your sword!

The azure sword light was incredibly sharp. In that instant, the edge of the sword showed signs of Space Twist, like azure lightning flashing across the sky, slashing towards the ferocious beast in a flash.

Splash—

The book he was holding split open instantly, and endless blue light burst forth.
