• Wang Yi and Luo Feng entered the Star Tower and let it settle motionless on the corridor floor.

Wang Yi and Luo Feng evaded the experts trying to disrupt their study of the Rhino Emperor Game by hiding inside the Star Tower, while Wang Yi secretly continued making progress. Outside the Tomb Ship, the struggle to control access intensified as candidates faced Duan Donghe’s harsh selection process.

• Wang Yi and Luo Feng hid inside the Star Tower, leaving the attacking experts unable to interfere with their study of the Rhino Emperor Game.

After nearly 500 years of studying the Rhino Emperor Game, Luo Feng and Wang Yi met Duan Donghe’s requirements and received protective palaces. Their success left the other candidates furious and intensified the race to solve more rounds.

• Duan Donghe announced that human Galaxy, Luo Feng, had met the requirements after solving 1000 rounds and sheltered him in a light-and-shadow palace.

As the candidates tackled the Rhino Emperor Game, Luo Feng broke through the Third Bottleneck and was recognized by Duan Donghe as an exceptional potential inheritor. Wang Yi remained stuck on the 3999th Round as Duan Donghe threatened to kill everyone else if Luo Feng reached the Fourth Bottleneck.

• Venerable Bi Xue and then Xue You met the First Bottleneck requirements, and the number of Outer Candidates grew to sixty-two within three thousand years.
• Demon Lord Tiebu became the first Strongest in Universe to meet the requirements, while Luo Feng solved 2000 Rounds and advanced to Elite Candidate status.

• Wang Yi remained stuck on the 3999th Round, several thousand years after reaching it.

While the candidates raced to master the Rhino Emperor Game, Wang Yi pushed himself toward the Fourth Bottleneck as Luo Feng became the factions’ main concern. Near the three-epoch limit, Wang Yi’s will broke through to the Void True God realm, though he had not yet reached his goal of 5000 rounds.

• Humanity celebrated Luo Feng’s breakthrough of the Third Bottleneck, while Lord of Star Prison wondered why Wang Yi had made no further progress since the First Bottleneck.
• Wang Yi neared 4000 rounds in the Virtual Universe as Primordial Ancestor watched, and candidates from other factions gradually broke through the Second Bottleneck.

• Venerable Bi Xue of the East Emperor Holy Land broke through the Third Bottleneck, and Duan Donghe encouraged him to keep striving.

• Duan Donghe killed the candidates who had failed to break through the First Bottleneck, leaving 302 survivors, including Wang Yi.
• Wang Yi anticipated the start of the Duan Donghe inheritance, while Primordial Ancestor found the 5,000th game on Wang Yi’s pillar and stared at it in silence.

Duan Donghe revealed that the Divine Eye Clan was barred from the inheritance because of a deal with Lightning Robe Demon God, who sought revenge for Kong Luo. Duan Donghe then dragged the Divine Eye Clan’s Ice Cliff Fortress into a deadly abyss, leaving the other candidates stunned.

• Duan Donghe questioned the seven Strongest in Universe about their Small Universes and declared them unqualified for the inheritance.
• Duan Donghe announced that all candidates of the Divine Eye Clan lineage had to die, prompting the Seventh True Lord to shelter them inside Ice Cliff Fortress.

• Duan Donghe bound Ice Cliff Fortress with golden threads and dragged it into an abyss, dismissing the Supreme True Treasure as useless in his homeland.

After the Divine Eye Clan candidates perished in the abyss, Duan Donghe gave their treasures to Lightning Robe Demon God and offered the remaining candidates a final chance to withdraw. Wang Yi and Luo Feng stayed as the 238 candidates prepared to contact the inheritance, while Mountaineer Guest hoped Luo Feng would claim it.

• Duan Donghe led the remaining 238 candidates onward, declaring that only one person could receive the inheritance.

The candidates entered the Duan Donghe Inheritance Space, where Wang Yi secretly used Probability Cards to improve his next sign-in odds. His sign-in succeeded and awarded him the Tomb Ship, which contained the complete inheritance space, leaving him with the inheritance already secured while the other candidates remained unaware.

• Duan Donghe opened the inheritance space and led the 238 remaining candidates inside, explaining that generations of his lineage had received their inheritance there.

• Wang Yi's excitement made his aura fluctuate, drawing the candidates' attention, but Duan Donghe and the others did not realize he had obtained the inheritance.

After secretly receiving a panel copy of the Duan Donghe Inheritance and a Tomb Ship, Wang Yi considered how the inheritance could rapidly increase his power. He focused on exchanging Origin Embryos for Treasure Points to obtain powerful Mechanical Flow True Treasures.

• Wang Yi reassured himself that even if his current body died, the panel and Tomb Ship would remain safe.
• Wang Yi compared the Duan Donghe Inheritance with the Tongtian Tower and recognized the inheritance as a practical guide to strengthen him quickly.

• Wang Yi examined the panel’s exchange list and considered trading Origin Embryos for Mechanical Flow True Treasures capable of boosting his attacks to the tenth order.

Primordial Ancestor and Lord of Star Prison wondered why Wang Yi hid his strength and refused the Duan Donghe Inheritance. After the Divine Eye Clan attacked the Lightning Robe Demon God, humanity’s growing power alarmed the Universe Sea factions, who began conspiring to prevent it from obtaining the inheritance.

• Primordial Ancestor suspected Wang Yi was hiding his strength because of the Tongtian Tower, but he could not discern Wang Yi’s plans.

• The five Peak Clans and other Universe Sea powers secretly joined forces to keep humanity from obtaining the Duan Donghe Inheritance.

Wang Yi chose a basic Soul Illusionary Technique inheritance and received thirty-six manuals and an Ice Mountain to study. Though he intended to leave after ten years, he began comprehending the inheritance while the other candidates did the same.

• Duan Donghe explained that the candidates would choose basic inheritances according to their Rhino Emperor Game rankings, and only the final inheritor would receive the core inheritance.

• A star transmitted thirty-six Soul Illusionary Technique Manuals to Wang Yi and sent down an Ice Mountain containing the Law Pattern of Soul Illusionary Techniques.
• Wang Yi decided to study the Ice Mountain for ten years before leaving, as the other candidates began comprehending their inheritances.

Wang Yi studied the Ice Mountain’s law patterns alongside the soul secret codices and the Tongtian Tower, pushing his soul illusions toward a breakthrough. After ten years, he reached the Tongtian Tower’s seventh layer and created the Seventh Order Soul Secret Technique Cosmic Illusion.

Using the panel’s separate Duan Donghe Inheritance, he took control of its Tomb Ship and Inheritance Space, where he discovered the legacy’s greatest secret and the statue of Saint King Duan Donghe Jueyi.

• Wang Yi completed the Cosmic Illusion secret technique and judged that combining it with the Mirage Bead could give it eighth-order might.
• Wang Yi self-destructed, leaving Duan Donghe confused about why he had abandoned the inheritance trial.

• Wang Yi reached the highest summit of the Inheritance Space and identified its towering statue as the third-generation patriarch, Saint King Duan Donghe Jueyi.

Wang Yi explored the wealth of the Duan Donghe Inheritance and received its three most important ultimate techniques. He left with the lineage’s core powers in his hands, ready to turn them into strength.

• Wang Yi recalled Ming’s promise of a gift on Tongtian Tower’s highest floor and focused on making the Duan Donghe Inheritance’s wealth his own.
• Wang Yi entered the Inheritance Space’s island and inspected the Memory Stones, which contained the lineage’s ultimate techniques and vast stores of other knowledge.
