Qin Siyang curled his lip.
The Rock Core Being had asked him the same question before.
Apparently, these Large Gods all knew that this tool had no business appearing in the [Evolutionary Sequence Domain].
Qin Siyang answered frankly, "I got it for passing another god's [Succession Trial]."
"Another god's [Succession Trial]? The Green Vine Tribe?"
