The Truth

A moment later, Lu Yan'an and the others walked along the streets within the sacred ground to the tower that was entirely golden. The Aurora Tower was about the same height as the previous Yanguang Tower, but its color was entirely golden, giving the entire tower a luxurious and magnificent feel from a distance. However, when visitors approached the Aurora Tower, they felt an unprecedented sense of peace.

Lu Yan'an and the others followed the steps, entered the Aurora Tower, and arrived at the first floor of the Aurora Tower.

"This first floor is the reception area," Mingluo explained from the side.

"Your His Highness An." A voice suddenly rang in Lu Yan'an's ears. A male Aurora Race dressed in a blue robe walked over from a distance. Unlike Mingluo beside him, the water droplet marking the Origin Law recognized by the clan's emblem on this Aurora Race's forehead was the same white-gold color as Lu Yan'an's! This was an Aurora Race World Lord had been recognized by the Origin Law of Light!

Upon seeing Lu Yan'an, the Aurora Race's World Lord first glanced at the pale white mark of Origin Law recognition on his forehead, his expression becoming complex. "Your Highness, my name is Zuofei, and I am a receptionist at the Aurora Tower. I have received orders from the Council of Elders to explain some matters concerning the Aurora Tower to you. Please follow me!"

After saying that, he winked at Mingluo beside him, who immediately understood. "Your His Highness An, this host will now introduce the Aurora Tower to you. I'll take my leave now!" As soon as he finished speaking, Mingluo clasped his hands in apology and then turned to leave.

"Mm." Lu Yan'an nodded.

"Please follow me." The receptionist, Zuofei, looked at Lu Yan'an and then began to walk upstairs.

Zuofei walked to Lu Yan'an's left and led the way, and then the two quickly climbed the stairs to the second floor.

"From this second level onwards, it's the trial section!" Zuofei explained, pausing briefly. "Each level you ascend represents a deeper understanding of the Origin Law of Light!"

"If it's just a test of one's understanding of the Origin Law of Light, then aren't the Aurora sculpture and this Aurora Tower completely separate things? What's the point then?" Lu Yan'an asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Therefore, the Aurora Tower has a rule that you must be at or above the Haoyue Level (Universe Level) to attempt to climb the tower! Moreover, the most core heritage of my Aurora Race is preserved at the very top of the Aurora Tower! However, to date, no one has ever been able to reach the top before the Haoyue Level! And once your cultivation surpasses the Haoyue Level, you cannot enter that final level!" Zuofei explained.

His explanation made Lu Yan'an understand immediately. Generally, when a strong person tries to comprehend the laws, they are already at the World Lord Level. Although the Origin Law of Light is only a lower-level law, the difficulty of comprehending it is by no means low! Even the Aurora Race, who are Origin Law of Light, would find it difficult to comprehend even an Origin Law of Light before reaching the Domain Lord level without the guidance of the Aurora Image.

It can be said that this Aurora sculpture weakens the threshold for entering the Aurora Tower, and even makes it a necessity for the Aurora Race. Lu Yan'an has roughly guessed the Aurora Race's purpose, which is most likely related to the inheritance at the top level!

"Your Highness, look over there." Zuofei pointed to a door to Lu Yan'an's right and said, "Go through this door and you can start climbing the tower. You can start anytime! But I need to remind you that you need to be careful about your abilities when you go up the 999 floors, because once you're on the tower, your life or death is in your own hands!" Zuofei's words were very calm, but Lu Yan'an still sensed a hint of danger in them.

"No wonder Mingguang Star was designated as a dangerous mission!" Lu Yan'an. "The mortality rate of over 50% probably all ended up here, right?"

He looked at the door, a sense of unease creeping into his heart. "Now I finally understand why no one has ever completed Mission Two, and why so many geniuses have died even though the environment on Mingguang Star is relatively favorable!"

Shaking his head, Lu Yan'an banished all his wild thoughts and resolutely took his first step towards the Inheritance Tower trial. "Since no one has ever passed the Aurora Tower's test at the Universe Level before, I'll be the first!" He watched as the trial gate opened, the deep darkness of the passage sending chills down his spine! Stopping his wandering thoughts, Lu Yan'an stepped inside.

"Xiao Ming, how confident do you think His Highness from the Virtual Universe Company is in reaching this final level?" the receptionist, Zuofei, asked Mingluo. Judging from their interaction, it was clear that Zuofei was of a higher generation than Mingluo Luo.

"Of all the princes I've ever met, this one is the most promising!" Mingluo concluded after a moment's thought.

"The princes who have come to my Aurora Race to carry out missions throughout the ages have all possessed unparalleled talent! But this prince is different. Although the previous princes had a considerable understanding of the Law of Light, they devoted more of their Heart Power to comprehending the higher laws!"

"But our clan's Aurora Tower can directly block the perception of laws other than the Origin Law of Light! This is one of the reasons for the high mortality rate of those princes, but this His Highness An is completely different; he has even gained the recognition of the Origin Law of Light!"

Mingluo added that he acknowledged the princes from the Virtual Universe Company were all exceptionally talented and gifted! However, they focused their attention on comprehending the higher laws! Once their advantages were limited, they couldn't possibly reach the end relying solely on their Origin Law of Light. Unfortunately, many of them, in order to maintain their pitiful pride, tried to force their way through, only to lose their lives in vain!

"Indeed, after all, he has gained the recognition of the Origin Law of Light! In comparison, this His Highness An is the one with the best chance of inheriting the legacy among all the princes in history! Alas, we descendants of the Aurora Race are truly useless! We even have to rely on outsiders to obtain the legacy left by our ancestors!" The host, Zuofei, sighed, expressing his disappointment and frustration with his clansmen's incompetence.

"It's not entirely because we descendants are incompetent! The real problem is that the conditions for passing the Aurora Tower are too demanding. One needs to be close to fully comprehending the Origin Law of Light to pass it, but the conditions are set at the Haoyue Level!"

Mingluo shook his head. He knew that since the clan and the Virtual Universe Company began cooperating, only Lu Yan'an, Haoyue Level recognized by the Origin Law of Light, had appeared! One could imagine how outrageous this condition must be. Even with the size of the Virtual Universe Company, it took them so long to find someone who met the criteria!

This mission on Mingguang Star is actually a test set up by the Virtual Universe Company in cooperation with the Aurora Race! In the form of a mission, the Virtual Universe Company selects suitable people to help the Aurora Race obtain their inheritance! In exchange, the Aurora Race must completely integrate into the human race of the universe, and the Virtual Universe Company has the right to develop the resources of the entire Mingguang Star together with the Aurora Race and share the Aurora Race's inheritance!

Therefore, the Aurora Race and the Virtual Universe Company are essentially in cahoots! Before anyone inherits the legacy, the Virtual Universe Company has placed powerful figures in the skies above Mingguang Star to help deter the Aurora Race and warn other races on Mingguang Star!

Of course, this form of integration into the cosmic races is also a development model in the process of the development of the cosmic human race! Compared with the Golden Horn Race, a non-human subordinate race in the original work, the Aurora Race has more autonomy and enjoys the basic rights of the cosmic human race.

"Let's hope everything goes smoothly! If even His Highness An can't obtain the inheritance, it's conceivable that it will be virtually impossible for him to do so in the future!" Mingluo sighed, looking utterly helpless! If they had no other choice, they wouldn't want outsiders to help them!

The entire Aurora Race and the Virtual Universe Company had an agreement: if a member of their own clan obtains the inheritance, the Virtual Universe Company will no longer covet their clan's internal inheritance.

If a genius from the Virtual Universe Company helps them obtain the inheritance, then the Virtual Universe Company can replicate a copy of their race's inheritance and add it to the race's treasury!

This was the consensus reached by both sides after several rounds of consultations! But in either case, it would enhance the Aurora Race Clan's foundation! Even if a copy of their heritage were distributed to the entire Human Race's treasure trove, it would not affect the entire clan in the slightest!

"Given the sheer size of our Aurora Race geniuses, it's practically impossible for them to obtain the inheritance on their own! But as long as someone helps us acquire it, we won't lose out. Even if the inheritance is given to the Virtual Universe Company, it's fine. After all, the Virtual Universe Company is full of powerful individuals; would they really covet the inheritance of a small clan?" Mingluo saw things very clearly.

"Your His Highness An, now it all depends on you! This is the opportunity for the rise of our Aurora Race!"
