"What should I choose?" Feng Hui fell into deep thought.
Choosing a Law Heritage Hall would undoubtedly let him comprehend the corresponding laws more quickly. Aside from the Time and Space Heritage Halls, the other nine Law Heritage Halls all pointed directly toward becoming a Universe Master.
Whether it was the path guided by the Space-Time Inheritance Hall—fully comprehending the Law of Space and the Time Law—or the paths guided by the eight remaining Fusion Law Heritage Halls—comprehending a lower-tier law and its corresponding higher-tier law, then fusing them—either could lead to becoming a Universe Master.
Choosing an Application Heritage Hall would improve his strength faster and offer more options. If he truly made something of himself, he could become an exceptionally fearsome powerhouse.
And the inheritances surely contained all kinds of laws, which could also guide his law comprehension.
Both kinds of Heritage Halls contained countless legacies of the Great Dao that pointed straight to the peak.
With so many choices, the geniuses were truly dazzled.
"Everyone, time's up. Submit your choices," the White-robed Man reminded them.
A selection screen appeared before him out of thin air. Feng Hui pursed his lips and tapped the option for the Space-Time Inheritance Hall.
Mastering both time and space might not be an easy path, but it was the most mainstream route leading directly to becoming a Universe Master.
Besides, Feng Hui had long since decided to pursue both time and space.
His human body had chosen the Cosmic Chaos Stele, which focused on mastering both time and space, as soon as he entered Chaos City. His Dongdi Clan Body had also begun cultivating the Cosmic Scripture of the Cosmic Emperor long ago and had already established a solid foundation and achieved some results. Naturally, he had no regrets now.
Since he had chosen this path and knew with absolute clarity that it was a great road leading to becoming a Universe Master, he should hold fast to his unwavering conviction and press forward without hesitation.
All roads led to Rome; different paths could lead to the same destination. There were so many roads to choose from, and all of them could reach the peak.
But if he wavered and kept changing his mind, he would find it difficult to get far on any path he chose.
What was more, thanks to the Jade Pendant's transformation of his soul, Feng Hui's human body had top-tier talent in the Time Law, while his Dongdi Clan Body had extremely high talent in the Law of Space.
Under these circumstances, Feng Hui's human body in the Prime Universe focused on cultivating the Time Law, while his Dongdi Clan Body in the Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe focused on cultivating the Law of Space.
With their roles clearly divided and complementing each other, his path through time and space was steady and efficient.
Since this path suited him so well, what was there to hesitate about?
Before long, everyone had made their choices based on their own circumstances.
As expected, many had chosen a Law Heritage Hall. The Time and Space Heritage Halls were still the most popular, with the Space-Time Inheritance Hall in third place. Comparatively few had chosen an Application Heritage Hall.
"All right, everyone," the White-robed Man said with a smile. "Follow me into Dongdi Tower."
The five hundred geniuses followed the White-robed Man toward Dongdi Tower.
The moment they stepped through Dongdi Tower's ancient, solemn gates, it was as if they had crossed through the barrier of time and space. The surroundings transformed completely in an instant, making them hold their breath.
Before them lay an immense, open void, dotted with stars and shrouded in clouds and mist. It was as if they had entered the primordial chaos at the birth of the universe—or stepped into the sacred domain of some supreme being.
In the distance, twenty-nine majestic halls floated silently. Each radiated a different, wondrous light, their brilliance interweaving to adorn the void with an air of mystery and grandeur.
These lights contained ancient, profound power. Each seemed to explain the ultimate truths of heaven and earth and call out to the souls of cultivators.
There was no need to ask. These twenty-nine halls had to be the Heritage Halls within Dongdi Tower, each bearing countless legacies that reached the pinnacle.
A closer look revealed just how wondrous the space inside Dongdi Tower was.
From the outside, Dongdi Tower might not have looked very large, and it would have been difficult to glimpse the world within. But once someone stepped inside, it was as though they had entered an entirely new world: vast and boundless, deep and unfathomable.
Every inch of space here seemed imbued with some strange law, blurring and bending the boundaries between size, distance, reality, and illusion. It was as if the entire universe had been cleverly folded and compressed into this tiny space.
Walking through this void, every step seemed to land on the veins of time, allowing one to feel the vicissitudes of the passing years and the permanence of eternity.
Feng Hui couldn't help feeling a reverence and anticipation he could hardly put into words. He was awed by the profound foundations of the Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe, and filled with hope for the uncertain future that awaited him after he received his inheritance.
As for the effect of one grain of sand containing a world, or a mustard seed holding Mount Sumeru, he was relatively unmoved. After all, even World Lords could do it. It was hardly surprising that Dongdi Tower, the inheritance treasure of the Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe, could do the same.
"Enter the Heritage Hall you chose and receive your inheritance. There's no need to fight over the order. Each person will enter a separate Heritage Hall space."
At that, the five hundred geniuses flew into the various Heritage Halls.
Inside the Space-Time Hall.
Ancient air permeated the place, as though time had stood still here, preserving traces of history in every corner.
The geniuses who had entered the Space-Time Hall alongside Feng Hui had disappeared. He was alone in this Heritage Hall space.
The hall was dim. A few ancient bronze lanterns gave off a faint glow, illuminating murals that were barely visible on the walls. The paintings depicted ancient legends and myths in vivid, colorful detail.
A cloud of Golden Mist hung in the center of the hall.
Suddenly, a majestic voice rang out inside the Heritage Hall.
"Inheritor, enter the Golden Mist ahead."
As soon as Feng Hui flew into the Golden Mist, an inconceivable power enveloped his entire body. He was completely unable to resist this mysterious force.
With no ability to fight back... Feng Hui stood blankly in midair, raising his right index finger slightly.
"Whoosh!" Origin Force emerged from his fingertip, quickly condensing into Law Secret Patterns.
One Law Secret Pattern after another appeared, depicting both the Time Law and the Law of Space.
Starting with the most basic insights, Feng Hui began demonstrating them completely beyond his control. He advanced step by step from the fundamentals, expressing every insight he had into the Time Law and the Law of Space.
As time passed, more and more Law Secret Patterns appeared. Strands of them wound around Feng Hui, seemingly forming a beautiful world of laws.
After a long while, he finished displaying all his insights into the laws and came to a stop.
The mysterious force instantly withdrew from Feng Hui's body.
"Hm?" Only then did Feng Hui regain his awareness.
"The inheritor cultivates both time and space, and follows the path of analyzing the essences of laws. His foundation in time and space is solid, qualifying him to receive the following 137 inheritances. He may choose any one of them."
A vast voice reverberated directly through Feng Hui's mind. It spoke in no language, yet he instantly understood: he was qualified to choose any one of the 137 Space-Time Inheritances now appearing before him.
Everything that had just happened was both a test and a process for selecting an inheritance tailored to him.
