Completing the Assessment, Finally Meeting the God of Death!

Half a year had passed since Liu Yuan left Martial Soul City and set off toward the inheritance site of the God of Death.

Ever since the day Liu Yuan departed from Martial Soul City, he had been traveling without pause toward the inheritance site of the God of Death.

However, his destination was incredibly far away.

Although he could see that pillar of black light from afar every time, what gave Liu Yuan a massive headache was that no matter how he traveled, the distance between himself and that black pillar seemed to never shrink; he hadn't gotten even a tiny bit closer.

At first, this made Liu Yuan feel extremely disappointed. After all, he had been working hard to travel for so long, yet the inheritance site of the God of Death remained just as distant. This made him start to wonder if he would ever be able to reach the inheritance site of the God of Death to receive the inheritance in this lifetime.

But later, he managed to think it through.

This must be a test from the God of Death.

If it weren't for this, given the capabilities of the God of Death, he would have been fully capable of using the same power that had transported him from the underground to another location to send him directly to the inheritance site of the Death God.

The only reason he didn't do so was to test his patience and perseverance.

Come to think of it, how could the inheritance of a god be so easily obtained?

If he couldn't even pass such a small trial, then he would surely never amount to anything, let alone be able to take revenge on Tang San, Yu Xugang, and the others!

Thinking of this, Liu Yuan calmed down once more and continued to advance toward his target location, step by step.

In the days that followed, Liu Yuan's progress still showed no signs of success.

But because his state of mind had become incredibly firm, even though he couldn't see any feedback, he still stubbornly pressed forward.

In this way, he actually ended up seeing many different kinds of scenery along the rest of his journey.

The first was the warmth of Martial Soul Hall.

Actually, Liu Yuan had already sensed this kind of warmth from Bibi Dong once before.

But after that, he had sensed it a few more times.

During his subsequent travels, there were many times when Liu Yuan had run out of travel funds and was struggling to move forward while hungry, unable to keep going.

At such times, the ones who reached out to help him were not the so-called nobles of the Heaven Dou Empire or any other organizations.

The only ones who extended a helping hand to him were those from Martial Soul Hall.

Speaking of this, some might think that Martial Soul Hall was just putting on a show, trying to win over the hearts of the people with such petty tricks.

But let alone the fact that such speculation was completely groundless.

Even if such speculation were true, so what?

Even if it were a show, Bibi Dong and Martial Soul Hall were at least willing to do it!

But what about Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and the various institutions of the Heaven Dou Empire?

They treated human life like grass and bullied the weak while fearing the strong.

Throughout this journey, not only had Liu Yuan never received a shred of kindness from any institution of the Heaven Dou Empire, but he had instead witnessed many incidents of nobles bullying the local people and forcibly seizing women.

This made Liu Yuan sigh involuntarily.

"It seems that Bibi Dong's approach is not wrong."

"Although it looks a bit radical, if these nobles are allowed to continue ruling the Douluo Continent, the people at the bottom will never have a day to get ahead!"

He continued to walk forward.

One day, he happened to run into some students from Blue Sunshine Academy.

And as luck would have it, it was the very same group that had clashed with Tang San and the others in the original story.

Influenced by the preconceptions of the original story.

Liu Yuan instinctively didn't care for them when he encountered this group.

After all, he didn't want to stir up trouble, so he planned to bypass them directly.

But he didn't expect their true image to be completely different from what he had anticipated.

First, they were ridding the people of a scourge by catching a thief.

Then, they gave some financial aid to the local impoverished residents.

Later, Liu Yuan asked the local residents and learned the truth.

The students and teachers of Blue Sunshine Academy would go out for training every year.

And these training locations were some of the relatively poorer areas within the Heaven Dou Empire.

These areas were basically equivalent to regions abandoned by the Heaven Dou Empire royal family, which the royal family ignored completely.

Only the local branch of Martial Soul Hall would occasionally send them some supplies, but that was merely a drop in the bucket.

At such times, some caring academies or organizations like Blue Sunshine Academy would take the initiative to contribute their efforts.

They would give them some supplies, or perhaps some old clothes that the students could no longer wear.

These things were useless to them, but for these impoverished people, it was like sending charcoal in snowy weather.

Upon learning this news, he felt deeply moved for a long time.

"Many times, if you don't experience it yourself, you will never know the true situation."

"Before transmigrating, although Liu Yuan was quite fond of Bibi Dong because of her beauty, he had to admit that the subsequent wars were all instigated by her and Martial Soul Hall, so there was simply no defending that."

"But now, after traveling through the Heaven Dou Empire, Liu Yuan understood that rather than saying Bibi Dong instigated the war, it would be more accurate to say she was leading an uprising."

"The entire Heaven Dou Empire had become incredibly corrupt under the management of the royal family, leaving the common people in dire straits; perhaps Bibi Dong's choice to mobilize her troops at such a time was merely an attempt to construct a more beautiful Martial Soul Empire."

He continued on his journey.

This trek lasted another two years.

Finally, on a day two years later, Liu Yuan arrived at the inheritance site of the God of Death.

At that moment, Liu Yuan was incredibly excited.

Because the previous night, while Liu Yuan was traveling, he realized it was getting late, so he had simply found a spot by the roadside to sleep, intending to set off again the next day.

But who could have imagined that when he woke up the next day, the surrounding environment had changed, and his location had shifted; he had actually arrived directly inside that black pillar of light!

Right now, Liu Yuan was still looking around in utter shock.

Yet the figure of the God of Death suddenly appeared before him.

The God of Death was still wearing a black robe, with a Great Scythe strapped to his back.

But upon seeing Liu Yuan, a thick, irrepressible smile appeared on his face.

"Congratulations, little one, you have passed my trial, and now you may come to receive the inheritance."

The God of Death looked at the Liu Yuan before him and spoke.

Liu Yuan was also somewhat excited at this moment, and after thinking for a moment, he asked the God of Death.

"So, everything before this was a trial you set for me?"

"If, during that process, I had chosen to give up or rest because I couldn't hold on, what would have happened?"

The God of Death answered with a smile:

"Giving up is equivalent to forfeiting."

"You would not have been able to gain the recognition of the God of Death."

"As for resting."

"For every rest, the trial period is extended by one year."

"The more you rest, the more it stacks."

"Until you have exhausted all the time allotted for the trial, you would never be able to reach this place."

Hearing this, Liu Yuan could not help but be dumbfounded.

His heart was filled with immense relief.

Fortunately, throughout this entire journey, he had never rested, let alone given up.

Now, the bitterness had ended and the sweetness had begun!

Revenge was within reach!
