• Qin Mu overpowered the white wings’ spirit and imprinted his life mark on the treasure, then gave the wings to Luo Feng and explained their willpower requirements.

• Duan Donghe accepted Qin Mu, Luo Feng, and several other Universe Lords, but expelled seven, including Lord Lihai and Lord Yanjü, because they were not of his race.

• Duan Donghe declared that Qin Mu had passed, and Qin Mu flew onward through the opened gate.

After passing the first trial, Qin Mu and Luo Feng continued through the Tomb Ship as Duan Donghe introduced the Rhino Emperor Game, a demanding test of comprehension.

Qin Mu sent his enormous swarm of Larva Nest Tyrants and Innate Beast Gods into the Tomb Ship to solve the Rhino Emperor Games, stunning the other candidates and Duan Donghe. As the swarm began tackling the games, Luo Feng and the other Universe Lords realized how overwhelming Qin Mu’s advantage was.

• The Golden Radiant Demon God arrived first, sent five Dream Eater Race Universe Lords toward the control room, and blocked the Tomb Ship entrance to delay other powers.
• The Zerg Empress and Qin Mu arrived with tens of thousands of Larva Nest Tyrants and Innate Beast Gods, and Qin Mu sent them through the hatch toward the control room.

• The Larva Nest Tyrants and Innate Beast Gods began pouring divine power into the Rhino Emperor Games, leaving Luo Feng and the other candidates astonished by Qin Mu’s forces.

Qin Mu used his vast Swarm to dominate Duan Donghe’s inheritance trial while continuing to solve the Rhino Emperor Game. Three years later, he charged late-arriving factions Supreme Treasures to enter the Tomb Ship, and demanded double from Purple Moon Holy Land.

• The Universe Lords protested Qin Mu’s overwhelming advantage, but Duan Donghe defended his clones and warned that withdrawing would soon cost them more than their clones.
• Qin Mu intimidated the other candidates with his Larva Nest Tyrants and Innate Beast Gods, then continued studying the ninety-sixth Rhino Emperor Game and set a goal of completing one thousand games before comparing it with Secret Pattern Diagrams.

After East Emperor Sacred Land entered, Burning Flame True God and Purple Moon Ancestor faced mounting pressure to negotiate for Purple Moon Holy Land.

• Burning Flame True God objected to paying for passage, but North True Star Lord argued that delaying would give the people inside the Tomb Ship an advantage and chose to follow East Emperor Ancestor’s decision.

Duan Donghe announced that Qin Mu had already met the trial’s requirement, but urged him to keep solving games for greater rewards and the chance to claim the inheritance outright.

Qin Mu reached the first inheritance threshold after solving 1,000 Rhino Emperor Games, far ahead of the other contenders, and continued studying while the Human Race celebrated his prospects. Outside the Tomb Ship, Third True Master began to wonder whether being blocked from the inheritance might save the Divine Eye Race from certain death.

• Duan Donghe shielded Qin Mu with a projection, warned the contenders not to attack him, and said they still had a chance if Qin Mu failed to solve 6,000 games.

• After Qin Mu solved game two thousand, Duan Donghe appeared and announced that Qin Mu had broken through the second bottleneck, elevating him to an elite candidate and granting him far greater access to the inheritance.
• Duan Donghe explained the game requirements for the first bottleneck at each strength level, leaving the more than a thousand candidates shocked and despairing over the gap between themselves and Qin Mu.
• Some First Reincarnation Era Universe Lords attacked Qin Mu in desperation, but his golden-red palace annihilated them, and Qin Mu resolved to break through the third and fourth bottlenecks.

Qin Mu solved the 3,000th and then the 4,000th Rhino Emperor Game, drawing ever closer to claiming the Duan Donghe Inheritance while the other inheritors struggled to keep up. Luo Feng and several others also passed the first bottleneck, but Qin Mu stood on the verge of the fourth and final one.

• Luo Feng reflected on Qin Mu’s immense lead, then trained his willpower near the Black Striped Stone Pillar while Qin Mu continued studying the games and Secret Pattern Diagrams.
• Qin Mu solved the 3,000th game after nearly three hundred years, triggering a third crystal pillar and an azure palace to appear around him.

• Qin Mu used Divine Power Wrap on the three foundational Memory Stones, and they began transmitting their information into his mind.

Qin Mu completed Duan Donghe's inheritance, gaining three supreme techniques and learning that the Original Universe's rules limited what he could access before passing through reincarnation. After Duan Donghe Wu's virtual consciousness vanished, Qin Mu inherited control of the Inheritance Space and vowed to restore Duan Donghe's name.

Qin Mu bonded with the Jie Mu Egg and absorbed its life-creation inheritance alongside the Duan Donghe Inheritance, then mastered the Tomb Ship. He returned with Giant Axe Founder and the Empress, promising to break through to Universe Lord and share what he had learned with humanity.

• Qin Mu branded the Jie Mu Egg with his life imprint, joined it to the Swarm, and absorbed its vast inheritance of life blueprints and combat methods.

• Qin Mu’s breakthrough triggered the Original Universe’s black-and-white vortex, and he rapidly absorbed divine power into his Primordial Sea.
• Qin Mu’s Primordial Sea converted roughly a quarter of its volume, and his Larva Nest Tyrant bodies emerged with Universe Lord-level divine power.

• Qin Mu said he would strengthen and complete his divine kingdoms before their next transformation into miniature universes.
