The Inheritance Token

The firelight died down, and Jiang Yao appeared on a desolate land. The sky was full of stars, as if he were in a world of eternal night. There was no movement or life in the vast emptiness.

Jiang Yao had no time to carefully observe his surroundings. He immediately sat down cross-legged, with twelve sets of Crimson Pattern Battle Armor in front of him. Their surfaces were covered with a maze of grooves and patterns, and he prepared to inscribe the Yan Script.

"Bajie, you're quick at switching! You write the Yan Script, and I'll imprint it in the Xu Yuan Space!"

Bajie's consciousness probed out the Taihuan Token, "observing" the Crimson Pattern Battle Armor, and said, "Indeed, there are regular changes. It seems my judgment was correct. This maze pattern must be a special script created by some powerful being in your world! It contains changes in space and time and can express different information at different times."

It's quite similar to the use of Yan Script; I'm afraid that apart from Yan Script, there's no other language that could completely preserve its information!

In this way, Jiang Yao's consciousness rapidly imprinted the Yan Script in the Xu Yuan Space, while at the same time, his body was gradually taken over by Bizhang's will.

That familiar, intense hunger and ferocity surged through my body once more!

I want food!

I want to burn everything in front of me!

Every organ and every cell was being rapidly devoured by that ferocious will. Soon, apart from his consciousness in the Xu Yuan Space, Jiang Yao's entire body no longer obeyed his commands.

It's unclear how much time passed—perhaps a long time, or perhaps just a snap of the fingers—when Jiang Yao was engraving Yan Script transformed maze patterns on the seventh Crimson Pattern Battle Armor, a phantom Bizhang rushed into the Xu Yuan Space.

This time, Bizhang's will seemed to have learned its lesson. Instead of fighting Jiang Yao in the Xu Yuan Space, it planned to surround the Xu Yuan Space with its body, take control of Jiang Yao's entire body while he was seriously injured, leave its mark, and then enter the Xu Yuan Space to deliver a fatal blow to Jiang Yao's consciousness.

The Xu Yuan Space is theoretically an existence between reality and illusion, existing above Jiang Yao's will and beliefs. However, after cultivating the Nine Transformations of the Desolate God, Bizhang's will is Jiang Yao, which can be considered his Second Personality. Naturally, he can enter it, but he cannot control the power of the Xu Yuan Space.

Jiang Yao was no longer impatient. He had already engraved the Law of Time maze patterns on seven of the Crimson Pattern Battle Armor. He had done all he could; the rest was up to luck.

A violent screech rang out, this time seemingly containing a hint of joy amidst its ferocity.

In the Xu Yuan Space, Bizhang's illusory will transformed into a flame that completely pierced through Jiang Yao's consciousness!

Jiang Yao, whose consciousness was beginning to dissipate, suddenly felt the entire Xu Yuan Space tremble and resonate.

"It worked?"

Before his consciousness completely faded, Jiang Yao let out a joyful sigh.

Above the Space Fragment in the damaged God Kingdom, a Purple-Clad Woman asked with some surprise, "Why hasn't anyone emerged from the Higher Inheritance Tower after so long?"

Lingcang Marquis, who sat in the void opposite him with silver hair, also frowned slightly and said, "It is a bit strange. Judging from the time when Cang He was the first to enter the Inheritance Tower, they should have already passed the final test and obtained all the treasures by now."

Although this was only the second time we encountered fragments of the Shixing Race's immortal God Kingdom Fragment during the Great Rift, our relationship with the Shixing Race was still relatively good on the Tenth Battlefield. We were all familiar with their process for cultivating geniuses.

While the Inheritance Tower has guardians on each level, some Metal Lifeform and others Rock Lifeform, none of them will actively attack. So, generally speaking, it is safe. If there is any danger, it is the struggle between the trial participants for treasures.

In addition, there's Cang He. His status at the cosmic level in the Three Great Secret Realms is almost comparable to that of Moyilin at the stellar level. With him leading the distribution of treasures, there shouldn't be any infighting.

Furthermore, I know his target is the Crimson Thunder Grass seed, not other treasures, and the other universe-level trial participants should all listen to him."

Lingcang Marquis was originally a teacher in the Guluo Secret Realm and had a deep understanding of the universe-level geniuses in the Guluo Secret Realm. So far, among the more than 20 universe-level trial participants who have entered the Inheritance Tower, people from the Guluo Secret Realm account for almost half.

The Purple-Clad Woman nodded and said, "Then let's wait a little longer. There might be other unforeseen circumstances..."

In a state of deep sleep, a consciousness slowly begins to awaken.

"I am..."

"Jiang Yao..."

Jiang Yao felt as if he had just woken up from a long dream, but he couldn't remember the details of the dream.

A fierce crane cry rang out, and from below Bizhang's will was charging fiercely towards him from the depths of his sleep!

Jiang Yao subconsciously used the power of the Xu Yuan Space. Several chains extended from the void and bound Bizhang's illusory will. No matter how Bizhang's will struggled, it could not budge the chains even a fraction!

Jiang Yao was surprised as he sensed the power he controlled as if it were his own arm. "The Xu Yuan Space has successfully advanced to the second level?"

In the desolate, empty space, wherever his thoughts went, a continent silently formed, a dazzling sun appeared in the sky, and lakes, mountains, rivers, and oceans appeared one by one under his gaze.

Jiang Yao's consciousness stretched out a phantom hand to sense the fluctuations of laws permeating the space, his face filled with disbelief, "Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Light... Space, Time!"

He could sense all ten fluctuations of the Origin Law!

"You can not only sense it, but you can also utilize it."

Bajie's voice came faintly from a distant place.

Jiang Yao enthusiastically unleashed the ten Origin Law, which obeyed him like toys. He didn't even understand the specific mysteries of the laws; he could unleash law attacks as if it were instinct.

Bajie chuckled and said, "But don't be too happy. Everything in the Xu Yuan Space is illusory and not real. You can use ten Origin Law in the Xu Yuan Space, but the limit is the ten Origin Law that the Void Space Analysis. For example, most laws can only be understood up to the point of being recognized by the Origin Law."

However, outside of the physical world, you still cannot sense or comprehend the fluctuations of the Origin Law beyond fire, light, space, and time. This is due to the limitations of your physical body. The Desolate God Bizhang was granted these four laws in this world.

However, once you are able to transform into other Desolate God and sense the fluctuations of other laws, or become a Realm Lord and your consciousness enters the Origin Land, the Xu Yuan Space can serve as a testing ground for you to use the Origin Law, increasing your speed of comprehending the Origin Law."

Jiang Yao looked around and saw that the Yan Script on all four sides.

It was the Yan Script on the axe he used to forge Opening the Xu Yuan Space. Its last appearance represented the profound mystery of the first level of the Sealing Chapter, allowing him to suppress Bizhang's will within the Xu Yuan Space.

This time, the information contained in the Yan Script has become the second layer of the Sealing Chapter.

The same Yan Script can contain different information at different stages.

Jiang Yao then revealed a look of joy. The profound mystery of the second level of the Sealing Chapter could actually seal Bizhang's self-awareness!

Like a high and mighty god, he slowly walked through the air to Bizhang's will, which was bound by chains, and reached out to touch Bizhang's forehead. Then, Bizhang, who had originally shown a fierce and destructive look in his eyes, suddenly showed a blank expression.

The struggle stopped, and its eyes were filled with confusion, like those of a newborn child.

Even when Jiang Yao stroked Bizhang's crane head, it squinted its eyes and affectionately rubbed against Jiang Yao's arm.

"Good heavens..." Jiang Yao stared in disbelief at Bizhang, who had previously killed his consciousness, but now seemed like an ignorant and clueless pet, with no trace of ferocity in his eyes.

Bajie continued, "You can even manipulate Bizhang's will to take over your body and fight for you. You can choose to sit on the sidelines and watch, or you can attach your consciousness to Bizhang's will and manipulate it to fight."

But don't think that this is the end of the story. You have only temporarily sealed Bizhang's self-awareness, not destroyed it. As Bizhang's will grows stronger, its self-awareness will also grow stronger, and sooner or later your seal will be unable to suppress it.

If you want a permanent solution, wait until you upgrade the Xu Yuan Space to the third level. Then you can use the power of the Xu Yuan Space to directly obliterate Bizhang's self-awareness, leaving only an empty shell of his will.

And you can even separate a part of your soul and entrust it to its now-empty will...

Jiang Yao blurted out, "Like a clone?"

"You could say it's an avatar." Bajie's tone had also softened, becoming languid. "The third level of the Xu Yuan Space Control Chapter contains a method to slay the Desolate God and refine an avatar."

Of course, in your world, these are clones. If you can master the Nine Transformations of the Desolate God to its ultimate level, with the help of this Xu Yuan Space, you can have up to nine Desolate God clones!

Jiang Yao smiled and shook his head, saying, "I've only just advanced to the second level. We'll talk about the future after I leave the God Kingdom."

His will manipulated the power of the Xu Yuan Space, spreading throughout his body, and he regained control of his body.

Previously, Bizhang's will had taken over his body, but now his internal injuries had mostly healed, his soul injuries had completely disappeared, and he could even faintly sense a significant improvement.

"The power of this Xu Yuan Space still has reserves even after sealing Bizhang's self-awareness..."

Jiang Yao controlled the power of the Xu Yuan Space to spread out of his body, and could clearly feel a sense of control over the surrounding space.

Bajie shook his head. "As Bizhang's will strengthens, you will need to constantly draw upon the power of the Xu Yuan Space to reinforce the seal. Therefore, before the Xu Yuan Space reaches the third level and can completely obliterate its self-awareness, it is best not to rely on the power of the Xu Yuan Space."

Jiang Yao nodded, indicating that he knew his limits, then stood up and looked up at the stars in the night sky.

"This is... an illusion?"

Perhaps it was because he freely unleashed the profound mysteries of the Origin Law of Time and Origin Law of Space in the Xu Yuan Space that his understanding of the Origin Law of Space seemed to have improved at this moment.

Or perhaps his soul underwent another transformation, which is why he could see almost immediately that the stars in the night sky were just an illusion, not real stars formed by the World Force or divine power.

When he saw through the illusion of the starry sky, the night sky suddenly shattered like glass, and the many stars disappeared one by one, leaving only one star in the end.

The star seemed to offer itself up as it Flowing Light across Jiang Yao's arms.

The illusion Destruction, and Jiang Yao found himself in a large hall, much like the halls on each floor below the 31st floor where treasures were kept.

Jiang Yao observed a sphere emitting silver light that had fallen into his arms. This should be the Inheritance Token written on the black wall. He probed the surface of the sphere with his consciousness and began to read the information within.

A moment later, he woke up with a strange expression. "So this is the kind of inheritance?"
