• The Inheritance Platforms lit up, transforming the temple’s dark sky into a starry expanse whose stars represented powerful True God inheritances.

Qin Hao explored the Inheritance Shrine’s many paths and chose the Sword Dao Inheritance, which revealed stages leading from True Godhood to Eternal True Godhood. He left with the inheritance’s knowledge of the Sword Dao and its creed of pressing forward and breaking through all obstacles.
