The players learn this through in-game lore and history-buff explanations. Meanwhile, Tang Yu (the game god) secretly scans the hall and finds the Inheritance Hall, containing tens of thousands of "inheritance spirit pearls." These pearls hold mid-to-high-level cultivation techniques and trials left by deceased tribe members.

• The Revelation: The old man announces "Hall opens, inheritance appears," and a beam of light envelops everyone nearby, transmitting history directly into their minds.

• The hall offers nine categories of trial challenges (weaponry, willpower, exploration, adversity, longevity, gain/loss, lightning tribulation, greed, extinction) comprising over 80,000 mission formats.
• Players exploit challenges tailored to their strengths: they trivialize pain-based and near-death trials by turning off pain settings or accepting death; races excel at long-lifespan trials but fear lethal tests.
• Inherited techniques require Divine Power to upgrade, granting Tang Yu another massive harvest of Divine Power from player spending.
• Meanwhile, deep within Thunder Sound Hall, a black metal coffin opens, awakening a doll-like boy—the Supreme Elder of the Thunder Sound Tribe. He views the outside world via a crystal ball, sees unfamiliar beings (players, demons, undead) and realizes his tribe’s era has ended.

• He visits the ancestral shrine, offers incense, and mourns the tribe's lost glory, then resolves to restore the Thunder Sound Tribe in this new era.
• Lei Ming reveals his hidden plan: before the tribe's destruction, he embedded memory fragments and residual consciousness of Thunder Sound tribesmen into inheritance spirit pearls scattered throughout the Star Sea.

• Wisdom Eye ↔ Lei Ming: A master–captive dynamic. Wisdom Eye treats Lei Ming like a tool and pet, beating him for escape attempts and mocking him, while Lei Ming silently endures and plots revenge.

Chapter Summary: The Target of Possession

Key Plot Points & Events

1. Lei Ming's Training Session: The Thunder Sound Tribe's Grand Elder enthusiastically teaches players their inherited spellcasting techniques. The session lasts hours, with Lei Ming answering player questions and demonstrating spells.
2. Lei Ming's Discovery: He notices the players' bizarre aptitude—100% success rate at condensing spells but atrocious accuracy when releasing them. He becomes convinced they are perfect possession vessels for his clan's future resurrection and treats them warmly, even examining their bodies approvingly.
3. Wisdom Eye's Revenge: A blood-colored hand suddenly appears, smacking Lei Ming down. Wisdom Eye grabs him, slings him over his shoulder, and spanks him violently. Lei Ming's attempt to explain fails—Wisdom Eye remembers being beaten up by Demon Blade and Lei Ming while drunk. Lei Ming is dragged away to serve as Wisdom Eye's "treasure-hunting rat" again.
4. Thunder Sound Hall Inheritance Trial: Lie Sui leads the Star Allied Army to the Northern Sea. The players and various races' younger generations enter the inheritance hall and begin choosing spirit pearls containing trial missions.
5. Absurd Trial Conditions: Both players and native races curse the ridiculous requirements—living 10,000+ years, eating three tons of food daily for ten years, surviving near-death states. These seem impossible, especially for weaker races who fear being wiped out by any passing powerhouse.
6. Urgent Distress Call: After half a day, Lie Sui receives a communication crystal message—the West Sea tribal grounds are under attack and require immediate support. The Star Allied Army's usual guerrilla tactics can't help this time; this is a serious emergency.
