After his moment of reflection, Luo Yuan came back to his senses and looked at the pitch-black surroundings, suddenly feeling rather bewildered. Duan Donghe had disappeared, but he was still here, and he had yet to take control of the entire Inheritance Space. Just thinking about how he was supposed to get out now gave him a headache.
Before Luo Yuan could worry for long, however, a golden light shot out of the darkness above at tremendous speed. Before he could react, it had enveloped his entire body. Then the Inheritance Mark on his brow absorbed all the golden light, and everything around him suddenly seemed to fall under his control. He had the feeling that, within this Inheritance Space, he was a god.
The entire Inheritance Space felt like an extension of his body. He needed only a thought to control everything here, so he immediately conducted an experiment. Luo Yuan did not particularly like this pitch-black space. With a thought, he transformed it into an idyllic paradise of birdsong and fragrant flowers. A Throne made of gold suddenly rose, and he sat down on it.
The stretch of land, a dozen or so kilometers across, had become a paradise on earth, surrounded by an Endless Ocean beneath blue skies and white clouds. Dense chaotic airflow was also converted into divine power of the universe laws, filling this Independent Space. Luo Yuan understood that the Duan Donghe Lineage's Inheritance Space had now fully recognized him as its master. His consciousness could encompass the entire Inheritance Space, yet he found no sign of Duan Donghe. It seemed that the previous Inheritor truly had disappeared, which left him feeling somewhat wistful.
From this day onward, he, Luo Yuan, was the 193rd Inheritor of the Duan Donghe Lineage, named Duan Donghe·Luo Yuan.
