The Great Qin Imperial Prince was one of the world-recognized Eight Inheritors, and the strongest contender for the foremost among them. Yet now he had not even made it into the top eight; he was not an Inheritor at all. This left countless people astonished.
With Great Qin's strength, even without undergoing the trial, it should absolutely have had an Inheritor. Yet it had none. Though they could hardly believe it, the facts lay plainly before their eyes.
Countless people wondered what had happened to Great Qin. Had some major upheaval occurred? Or was there some unknown matter at play? How could this be?

"The Great Qin Imperial Prince acts with cruelty and bloodshed, and he is lewd and immoral besides. Choosing such a virtueless man as an Inheritor would be the world's greatest tragedy!"
"Yeah, yeah! What I can't stand most is Great Qin. What's so damn great about it? It isn't even an Inheritor—this is killing me!"
"Good thing I anticipated early on that Great Qin wouldn't make it, so I didn't go join them. The Great Xia Dynasty is still mighty, having taken third place among the Inheritors!"
"Damn! What the hell is third place? Huaxia should have been first! Now both first and second were snatched away by others. Great Qin really is trash—failing to bring glory
