Li Qi blocked the Tomb Boat's entrance with Dark Blaze Hall and charged factions for access while helping North True Star Lord hold off the Purple Moon Sacred Land Universe. After the humans entered with a group of experts, Great Axe Founder reported that the token left by the Machine Race Father God had reacted.

• Great Axe Founder told Li Qi, Peng Gong True God, and Qing Dong that the token left by the Machine Race Father God had reacted.

Li Qi entered the Tomb Boat with Peng Gong True God and Qing Dong True God, where Duan Dong River recognized his golden token and urged him to become an inheritor. Li Qi declined to claim the inheritance for himself, secured Duan Dong River’s promise to protect his clansmen during the trial, and prepared to undergo it so the inheritance would remain with his race.

• Li Qi sent Peng Gong True God and Qing Dong True God to face Monster Kuiluo, then explained that he wanted his disciples to inherit the lineage and that his own ancient inheritance already surpassed what Duandong River could offer him.
• Li Qi traded the golden token for Duan Dong River’s promise that his clansmen, including Li Qi, would not perish during the inheritance trial, and then headed toward the trial corridor.

After learning that many Human Race candidates had died, he decided to enter the trial as a safeguard and claim the inheritance if none of his people succeeded in time.

• Li Qi questioned Duandong River Mieshen about the Tomb Boat’s move from the Universe Boat’s core region, then inferred that the inheritance had been revealed after humanity became a threat to the balance.

• The qualified candidates continued toward the final inheritance trial, and Luo Feng asked Li Qi how many puzzles he had solved.

Li Qi and Luo Feng reached the fourth and third Xi Huang Bureau bottlenecks, respectively, and joined the candidates approaching the Duandong River Inheritance. Duandong River then screened the universe supreme masters by their miniature universe structures, approved Peng Gong True God and Qing Dong True God, and barred the God Eye Race at a friend's request.

• Lei Yi explained that he made a deal with Duandong River after being unable to accept the inheritance as a Universe Supreme Master.
• Li Qi told the assembled forces that humanity had already obtained the Tomb Boat's token and coordinates, so Lei Yi's intervention had forced humans into the inheritance trials.
• Duandong River bound Ice Cliff Castle with golden threads and dragged it into an abyss, then sealed the floor above it.

After the God Eye Race experts died inside Ice Cliff Castle, Duandong River gave Lei Yi Demon God four supreme true treasures and warned the candidates that the final inheritance trial could kill them. Li Qi gave Luo Feng three epochs to claim the inheritance, and the remaining candidates entered the inheritance space as the final trial began.

Li Qi and the other candidates entered the Duandong River inheritance space to receive foundational inheritances, with only one person allowed to choose each type. Li Qi received 360 spear manuals and three Spear Mountains to study, seeking to fill gaps in his knowledge as he began the trial.

• Duandong River explained that the 820 gateways contained different foundational inheritances, and only the final inheritor would qualify for the core inheritance.
