A Gift
Passing on the legacy!
This is true inheritance!
Lu Yan'an's eyes flashed with wild joy! If he hadn't misheard, this mysterious powerhouse named "Qi" had just uttered the words "Saint King"!
"Saint King" is the title given to "God King" under the influence of the Will of the Original Universe. In other words, this person named "Qi" was a God King Level powerhouse in the past!
Qi's voice seemed to still faintly echo throughout the vast, dark land. All was silent except for Lu Yan'an's increasingly heavy breathing. Although Lu Yan'an was extremely concerned about Qi's statement about embarking on a path of power completely different from the Cosmic Rules, to be honest, these minor issues were utterly insignificant when faced with the inheritance of a God King Level powerhouse.
Moreover, judging from the tone of this God King, his Reincarnation Secret Technique failed due to the influence of the Supreme Rule, leading to his demise. This is even more wonderful!
It is well known that a good inheritance is one without constraints. Only inheritances left behind when the original owner has passed away are truly selfless; while the inheritances passed down by powerful individuals who have not yet perished usually come with conditions. For example, in the original work, there is a clear difference between Yunmo Marquis Hu Yanbo and the Zuoshanke.
"I must seize this inheritance of the God King 'Qi'!" Lu Yan'an resolved silently. This was God King! And a fallen one at that! Without the condition of God King, this was a huge win! As a disciple of the Zuoshanke, City Lord Luo still bore the karmic burden of helping him take revenge. But this "God King Qi" had all his karma scattered after his fall, leaving him without any constraints!
Just as Lu Yan'an was anxiously waiting for the "God King Qi" to reappear, energy gathered before him once more, forming a throne and the black-haired figure—it was none other than the "God King Qi."
"Have you thought it through?" Qi slowly rose and walked down from the throne, looking at the young figure below and asking.
"Of course!" Lu Yan'an replied respectfully, clasping his hands in a fist salute.
"Good!" God King Qi nodded in satisfaction, his gaze toward Lu Yan'an becoming even more amiable.
"Throughout countless Years, you are not the first person to arrive here. But you are the first person to see me. Do you know why?" The calm voice of the God King Qi echoed in Lu Yan'an's ears.
Seeing the puzzled look on Lu Yan'an's face, he stopped teasing and said with a smile, "The strange beast that surrounded and killed you before was called 'Kuimo'! Ten thousand of them appear at a time, and their strength increases as you kill them. If you can kill 20 rounds of 'Kuimo' after their strength has increased, you will meet the requirement to see me."
"Kuimo?" Lu Yan'an shocked. He had previously thought that the appearance of these strange beasts was due to some kind of Secret Pattern runes constantly teleporting them from the depths of this Purgatory Abyss. But he never expected that they were actually the work of this "God King Qi"!
"Kuimo's strength is linked to your own. The successors I select cannot be pseudo-geniuses who possess only a superficial Law Comprehension but crumble at the slightest touch! Being able to kill 'Kuimo' after 20 rounds of strength enhancement means you are at least a genius capable of fighting across two major levels!" The God King Qi looked at Lu Yan'an and continued, "Being able to defy Deity with the level of Demigod is quite impressive in the early stages! But if you want to truly obtain my inheritance, you are still far from it!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yan'an was immediately startled. It seemed that this God King Qi did not take his talent seriously. Indeed, he was a great being of God King Level, how could he possibly look down on an ordinary ant like him?
"However, since you were able to pass Kuimo's test, I will give you a chance!" The God King Qi's eyes suddenly sharpened, and even though it was just a virtual image, it brought immense pressure to Lu Yan'an. "If you can comprehend the 'Void World Dao' at the Venerable level and use this 'Void World Dao' as its core to integrate other mysteries of rules to form a rule system and achieve the title of 'Void God,' then you will ultimately receive my inheritance!"
Hearing the words of the God King Qi, Lu Yan'an felt a chill run down his spine! Good heavens, if he wasn't mistaken, the "Void World Dao" that the God King Qi mentioned should be the name used in another cultivation world—the Snow Eagle Lord's realm. The full name corresponding to the Void God should be "Void True God"!
As expected, the God King Qi then gave a more detailed explanation of his request.
"Looking at your universe, the so-called Domain Lord level corresponds to the title of Demigod, while the World Lord Level and Ordinary Immortal correspond to the title of Deity. The levels from Military Lord to King-level Immortal correspond to the World God level, and the Universe Venerable, Universe Master, and Universe Supreme Being correspond to the three levels of True God Level: Ordinary True God, True God Venerable, and True God Dominator!"
"Finally, there's this Void God!" The virtual image of the God King Qi paused slightly at this point. "You can consider him the strongest being in this universe. As for the rest, I can't say more!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the image of the God King Qi looked up at the void, as if it were confronting the influence of the Will of the Original Universe, transcending all material barriers.
After a long silence, the God King Qi continued, "In terms of the rules of your universe, my requirement is that you must fully comprehend the ten Origin Law at the level of the Universe Master, and at the level of the Universe Supreme Being, construct the Heart of the True God based on the Space-Time Fusion Law!"
Upon hearing these words from the God King Qi, Lu Yan'an's heart sank.
"What terrifying standards of inheritance!" he murmured to himself. As a reincarnated person, he naturally understood how terrifying these standards were. Putting aside the absurdity of the Space-Time Fusion Law, comprehending ten laws was simply a pipe dream for him at his current level.
"Don't be afraid of difficulties. If you understand the greatness of a Saint King, you won't have this fear!" As if sensing Lu Yan'an, the God King Qi said with a smile, "The legacy of a great Saint King is enough to drive any living being mad! Your standards are already the bare minimum. If you can't even meet this basic requirement, you have no hope of becoming a 'Saint King'!"
"In this universe, the laws of the universe manifest themselves in different ways, so I've been somewhat more lenient with the corresponding requirements. If you can achieve the Void God status according to my requirements, then you will receive my fundamental inheritance—the Four Lineages of the Void World Dao. This is also the fundamental inheritance leading to the supreme path. Strive on!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the God King Qi waved his hand. An amber-colored pearl suddenly appeared from the void and merged into Lu Yan'an's soul at a speed that Lu Yan'an could not react to at all.
"What is this?" Lu Yan'an felt a cool sensation deep in his soul and looked at the God King Qi with great confusion.
"This is a Rebirth Dao Talisman, effective against beings below the Void God in this universe. Consider this a life-saving measure I bestow upon you!"
"The core symbol of this universe still exists within the essence of your soul! If this core symbol is not cleansed before you break through to the Void God, your soul will not be able to resonate with my legacy! This Rebirth Dao Talisman, as its name suggests, is a talisman that uses rebirth as a means to cleanse the core symbol of the universe deep within the soul, and the prerequisite for using it is to truly die once."
"What?" Lu Yan'an looked shocked upon hearing this, as if he had heard something unbelievable!
Ignoring Lu Yan'an's shocked expression, God King Qi continued, "You must use this once before the Void God! This is both a life-saving measure I'm giving you and a requirement I have for you!"
"If you meet all the above requirements, then come back here again after you break through to True God!"
"Otherwise, there would be no need to come!" God King Qi said calmly.
Clearly, his requirement for his successor is to have fewer but better candidates! Even if it means waiting for endless Years, he will not settle for less!
"As for the cultivation stages before Void God, everything depends on you!" As soon as he finished speaking, the God King Qi waved his hand, and Lu Yan'an's true form was directly teleported away!
The land of darkness fell silent once more, utterly still, save for that faint, almost imperceptible sigh...
