Good thing he wasn't a builder.
In addition, there are several other subcategories.
Such as allowing only those with their own bloodline to receive the inheritance.
But in either case...
Most Ancient Ruins originated from the Eternal Nightfall 8,000 years ago, but the Ancient Ruins in front of Chen Fan is more like a tomb than Ruins.
At a glance.
This Cave hidden underground is about the size of the Camp 2 Cave; it's quite small.
Four Light Curtain cut through the Cave.
He was standing at the entrance of the Cave, with a pile of Strange Entities bones under his feet. However... he lifted his foot and looked at the bones on the ground that had turned to powder after just one step.
It's been too long.
These Strange Entities bones are no longer usable, and this Ancient Ruins is most likely from eight thousand years ago.
The first Light Curtain displayed a line of text.
"The world calls him the Undying Celestial Master, and the legacy he left behind is primarily for Builder Inheritance; therefore, the main content of the assessment will also be related to Builder."
"First stage."
Which material is a hidden all-purpose material? It can be used for upgrading and building most structures.
"Simply write your name on the Light Curtain. Correct input will allow you to advance to the next level and receive a reward. Limited quantities available, first come, first served."
A hint of confusion flashed in Chen Fan's eyes. Was the first challenge going to be so difficult?
He really didn't know that.
Moreover, he swore that not only did he not know, but even the "Under-Heaven Pavilion" in Jiangnan, which possessed the strongest Builder in Jiangnan and had the largest number of Builder, certainly did not know this news.
"It seems that a lot of information has been lost since the last Eternal Night ended..."
He was talking to himself. He knew that there had been an Eternal Night 8,000 years ago, but he didn't know how Eternal Night ended or what happened Eternal Night it.
We can only pin our hopes on Weiwei.
Perhaps sensing Chen Fan's mood, Weiwei appeared extremely arrogant, slowly walked in front of the Light Curtain, and raised its hand to strike.
"Bang."
The Light Curtain shattered.
Chen Fan thus reached the second level. In the second level area, there were forty or fifty stones on the ground, each stone was covered by Light Curtain. He tried to pick them up but could not.
After passing the first level, you can pick up a stone.
He didn't pass the level normally.
Therefore, no stone has been able to escape this protective Light Curtain, however...
Then Weiwei slapped each stone in turn.
All the protective shells on the stones shattered.
Take it or leave it.
Chen Fan felt a little strange, even embarrassed, as he picked up a stone to examine the panel. Ancient powerhouses had laid out their legacy before their deaths, intending to cultivate future generations. He, on the other hand, had barged in like a cheat code, taking all the legacy by himself. Wasn't that a bit inappropriate?
Weiwei, this method is outrageous!
Isn't this an Ancient Ruins nemesis of ancient ruins?
Level-4 Eerie Stone.
It is entirely Blue Grade, like the deep blue of the ocean, with a dark undertone, giving it a profound feel.
This one alone is worth 1,000 Eerie Stone, and there are approximately 45,000 Eerie Stone in total.
"Good."
He grinned, he loved this feeling of being cheated. He had to admit that the senior was the best. With two Sky-Swallowing Crocodile, it would definitely be even more fun. All the Eerie Stone were swallowed up by Weiwei.
He can't win it.
However, the Weiwei's abdominal space is quite large, essentially like a portable "Mustard-Seed Room".
The second stage.
There are also assessments.
"Second stage."
"Create an Eerie Fire within three breaths."
"Complete the crafting to advance to the next level and receive rewards. Limited quantities available, first come, first served."
He can do that.
It can even be faster.
But sometimes, once a man has experienced infidelity, he feels that his own wife is not quite as good, and that other people's wives are more enjoyable.
That's exactly what he's like now.
There's a "Weiwei" message.
He didn't want to waste these three Eerie Stones.
"Snap."
Weiwei raised his hand and slapped again, shattering the Light Curtain. The ground was piled with more than a dozen White Exotic Treasure that had already been opened, just like in the first level, enveloped in White Light. Weiwei didn't dawdle and slapped them one by one.
They're all related to Builder.
For example.
The first "Exotic Treasure name": White Jade Thumb Ring.
"Exotic Treasure Grade": White.
[Exotic Treasure Effect]: When Builder wears this Exotic Treasure, the consumption of Eerie Stone is slightly reduced when constructing buildings.
Chen Fan nodded thoughtfully. He was currently wearing a White Jade Wushi Plaque around his neck, a Green Grade Exotic Treasure with the same effect. These dozen or so newly opened White Exotic Treasure all had the same effect.
But...
It's of no use to him.
He wore this White Jade Wushi Plaque simply because he thought it was of decent quality and wore it as an ornament.
He's not Builder.
It doesn't meet the usage requirements at all.
"They've all been put away."
He doesn't want them, but others will; pick a few and put them at Auction.
Only then did he look at the requirements of the next level.
"The third level."
"Recite the Cultivation Manual and logic behind building any Green Grade or higher-grade structure, and then hand-draw the Blueprint on the Light Curtain."
"No one else may recite the same building. Once you have recited it, you can proceed to the next level and receive a reward. Rewards are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis."
Chen Fan remained silent, expressionless.
Fortunately, he entered this Ancient Ruins using unconventional methods.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to take anything with him.
What kind of nonsensical questions are these?
Does designing a building require a specific Cultivation Manual and logic?
Isn't it just three steps?
First, open the Endless Night Lord Panel.
The second step is to prepare enough Eerie Stone and materials.
Third step, click to confirm construction.
It's done.
He sighed deeply, stepped back, and gestured Weiwei it was time for him to go on stage. The Builder in this world are so pitiful; they have to carry so much stuff. It must be so tiring. No wonder so few Builder take on the role of leaders.
With all these things keeping me busy every day, how can I possibly have the time or energy to manage my power?
"Snap."
Weiwei it a swipe!
The Light Curtain shattered.
The assessment was passed.
Upon successfully entering the reward area of the third level, the ground was piled with Building Blueprint, a total of 12. Most of them were common ones such as "Arrow Tower", "City Wall" and "Wind Tower". There were two Green Grade that were relatively rare, as they were ones he did not have.
"Name of the Exotic Treasure": Air-Defense Cannon Tower.
"Exotic Treasure Grade": Green Grade.
"Exotic Treasure Effect": Building Blueprint, can build Cannon Tower that target aerial enemies. The cannons point upwards and cannot attack ground enemies. The effective attack range can break through the high-altitude range limitation of the Camp.
=
"Name of the Exotic Treasure": Godslayer Cannon.
"Exotic Treasure Grade": Green Grade.
"Exotic Treasure Effect": Building Blueprint, Defensive Structure.
"Finally, something good!"
Chen Fan looked at the two Building Blueprint in his hand, nodding repeatedly with satisfaction. As for the Air-Defense Cannon Tower, there was no need to say more; ever since he destroyed the Pill Sect, he had been looking for Blueprint for similar buildings.
After all, he was capable of killing enemies in that way.
Someone might be able to kill him like that.
We need to be prepared so that we won't panic when the enemy comes.
As for the "Godslayer Cannon," it's a new Defensive Structure. It's unknown how its power compares to Arrow Tower. How does the power of a level 1 Green Grade Godslayer Cannon compare to that of a level 5 White Grade Cannon Tower?
Of course, there's no need to compare them since they're both at level 5.
That Godslayer Cannon definitely stronger.
After all, it's a higher rank.
"Good."
He was satisfied with what he had gained from this trial; only then could he barely be worthy of the title "Undying Celestial Master."
Otherwise, after making such a grand entrance, all that's left is so little.
It's really not a good match.
On the Light Curtain of the fourth and final level, there is also a line of text.
"The final hurdle."
"Construct any building on-site until Qualitative Transformation upgrade is achieved. Only one person can enter this level."
"For Builder, luck is also very important."
It really depends on luck.
Chen Fan was a bit exasperated; even he couldn't do anything about it. Even with the Endless Night Lord Panel, he still had to rely on luck to create a Qualitative Transformation upgrade path, though his probability was slightly higher than others.
At least he can see the panel and make a choice among the three.
Don't say it.
Each step of this inheritance process is quite difficult.
The next moment, Weiwei stepped forward and slapped him again.
The Light Curtain shattered.
This is the deepest part of the Cave, where a Jade Slip, a Yellow Grade Building Blueprint, and a ring are displayed.
Also enveloped in White Light, Weiwei slapped them all again.
This tradition is rather rudimentary.
Or perhaps it wasn't a pre-planned inheritance, but rather a hasty, makeshift grave he dug for himself before the fall of Northbank City and his suicide, ensuring his body wouldn't be devoured by the Strange Entities while also leaving something behind.
He first took the Jade Slip in his hand.
To be honest...
What he was most curious about in this lineage was actually the method of transmission.
For example, conditions can be set on the Light Curtain. When the challenger completes the conditions, the Light Curtain will automatically determine success and recognize it, and then take the corresponding action.
The underlying logic is actually somewhat similar to that of a computer.
If he can get his hands on this.
The accounting in the Mortal Domain Market will be much more convenient, and as the power grows in the future, the coordination between various departments will be much easier and faster, and mobilization will be much more efficient.
The Jade Slip is an information Jade Slip.
He was already very familiar with it.
A more advanced way of recording information than Bamboo Slip, capable of storing information for a longer period of time, and the information will not be lost with the passage of time.
He held the Jade Slip in his hand.
A scene immediately flashed into his mind: a Jade Slip that recorded an image, possessing the ability to Image Recording and sounds, making it far more advanced than ordinary Jade Slip.
"That is..."
Chen Fan stared blankly at the scene that appeared in his mind, feeling as if he were actually there, which made him subconsciously want to hide as soon as possible.
The entire Jiangbei!
170 kilometers.
The City Wall, which once stretched Coast like a long dragon, divided the entire Jiangbei and the deep sea in two, like a dividing line. He looked down at the battlefield below from a high vantage point.
The City Wall's surface was illuminated by billions of Runic Matrix, radiating a dazzling light in the Eternal Night.
It looks like...
A burning bond stretching 170 kilometers.
Both are Level-4 City Wall.
Standing a full 15 meters tall, it looked like an impregnable City Wall, but in the distance, a wall on the sea horizon kept rising...
Giant, writhing waves are rapidly crashing towards the shore.
He didn't realize what was happening until he slammed his fist against the City Wall.
Those weren't waves at all.
It was a living tsunami formed by hundreds of thousands of Strange Entities.
Thousands upon thousands of Cannon Tower began to roar, shaking the entire Jiangbei. The scale of this battle was enough to be recorded in history, and countless Cultivators were running on the City Wall.
Behind the City Wall.
Large numbers of Skeleton Horse were frantically traversing back and forth across the Wasteland.
Resources were sent to the Frontline.
At a glance.
Like countless ants clinging to City Wall to resist divine punishment.
But by this time, the war was already drawing to a close.
This Heavenly Chasm City Wall has been breached in many places, and more and more Strange Tide are rushing into the Wasteland, beginning to slaughter the logistics and supply personnel behind it.
This war must have taken place 8,000 years ago.
Because he saw the Nameless Mountain, which existed back then, but it didn't have the hammer Nameless Mountain yet, and the Coastline didn't look much different from what it is now.
Chen Fan was immersed in the scene before him, remaining silent. He could vaguely see that the Vein Patterns on the Level-4 City Wall were not uniform.
If.
He meant that if these City Wall were all covered in the same pattern of Wraith Blood Pattern, they could absorb a large amount of Wraith Blood under the attack of so many Strange Tide, making the City Wall even stronger, thus sustaining the war through warfare!
170 kilometers of uniform Vein Patterns.
No Builder could do that.
Under-Heaven Pavilion cannot do that.
The Undying Celestial Master cannot do that.
Even the most skilled Builder couldn't do it, unless they were willing to go to great lengths to demolish and rebuild the City Wall with the incorrect Vein Patterns, repeating the process over and over again.
It would consume a lot of resources to build a Level-4 City Wall with uniform Wraith Blood Pattern, but that's obviously impossible. With that kind of resources, you could build a 170-kilometer- 5th-Level City Wall.
Others can't do it.
He can do it.
Moreover... why don't these people have Copper Pipe? Each Cannon Tower requires a dedicated person to guard it and constantly fill it with Eerie Stone. Copper Pipe are clearly just a White Grade Building Blueprint, yet they didn't exist before.
There are no Copper Pipe.
This meant that it was impossible to connect the City Wall and the Altar.
The City Wall cannot repair themselves.
Even the strongest City Wall, which is difficult to repair itself, will eventually be worn down.
If these resources were given to him, and he were to personally build the Northbank Defense Line, it would be impossible for these Strange Tide to breach it; no matter how many came, it would be a waste.
It was such a pity to lose.
He could see that this battle had involved a large amount of resources and manpower, but in the end, they still couldn't stop the General Strange tide at the Northbank Defense Line. If he had been in charge, the outcome would have been different.
But-
The image gradually shattered.
Chen Fan also pulled himself out of his thoughts and looked at the Endless Night Lord Panel in his mind, suddenly feeling more confident about the battle four years later.
It turned out to be an unknown fear, not knowing just how strong the Undersea Strange Tide was.
Now he understands.
Once his Northbank Defense Line is completed, no Strange Entities can break through it; no matter how many come, they will all die!
The Jade Slip also contains other information.
"You may have heard of my title, the Undying Celestial Master. Apart from the loss of Jiangbei, I have many achievements in my life."
"These are the two biggest regrets of my life."
"Firstly, we failed to defend the Jiangbei."
"Secondly, he died without fully understanding that Yellow Grade Building Blueprint; it was the most complex Building Blueprint I had ever seen."
"I can proudly say..."
"I once personally built a Blue Grade building. Blue Grade is one grade higher than Yellow Grade, and it's above Yellow Grade."
"Although I only succeeded a handful of times, I failed far more often."
"But it was precisely because of this Blue Grade building that I acquired the title of Celestial Master."
"I have built many Yellow Grade buildings, some of which are relatively simple, such as the Vehicle Workshop, while others are more complex, such as the Star-Summoning Platform. However, the Yellow Grade Building Blueprint that I carried with me until my death is the one I have never been able to comprehend."
"You managed to get here."
"This shows you're quite skilled in Builder. If one day you can decipher the Building Blueprint I left behind, it will have resolved one of my life's regrets."
"..."
Chen Fan looked at the Yellow Grade Building Blueprint in his hand with a slightly strange expression. The paper, as thin as a cicada's wing, depicted a building that did indeed look rather complex.
Um.
It is at least many times more complex than Arrow Tower City Wall.
It certainly seems difficult to understand.
But thankfully, he wasn't Builder.
It's all clearly written on the panel; you can understand it at a glance.
Only...
Chen Fan felt a little regretful. He wished he could have carried the Blue-Grade Building Blueprint with him so he could study it as well. The Camp only had one Yellow Grade building, the "Vehicle Workshop," and he hadn't seen what the effects of a Blue Grade building were yet.
Let him see things for himself.
