• A figure appeared in the sky and declared that the Six-Winged Angel inheritance was no weaker than the dual god inheritance.

Trapped in the inheritance space, Zhu Zhuqing used a destiny point to gain strength, and Qian Daoliu’s strike hit nothing; he called off the fight, claiming Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena had left unharmed.

• Qian Daoliu arrived and attacked Zhu Zhuqing with the Angel Holy Sword, while Hu Liena rushed to protect her and Bibi Dong charged at Qian Daoliu.

• Qian Daoliu told Bibi Dong to stop, saying Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena were unharmed and had already left, and Bibi Dong finally halted her attack.

After Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing vanished into a godhood inheritance space, Bibi Dong waited anxiously while Qian Daoliu warned that failure could leave them trapped or dead. Inside the inheritance, Zhu Zhuqing struggled to protect herself and Hu Liena from crushing spatial pressure and prepared to move them along the stairway.

• Zhu Zhuqing told Hu Liena to lean close as she prepared to use all her strength to move them forward or backward from the sixty-eighth step.

Zhu Zhuqing used the Chaos White Tiger’s unknown energy to carry Hu Liena up the Thousand-Layer Stairway to its 100th stair, but the next step threw them back to the bottom. After recovering, they realized the stairway led to a godhood inheritance space and agreed that Hu Liena would try climbing next.

• Zhu Zhuqing burned five destiny points and pushed herself up the stairs while carrying Hu Liena, enduring the crushing pressure until her Chaos White Tiger summoned armor of unknown chaos energy.
• Strengthened by the chaos energy, Zhu Zhuqing carried Hu Liena to the 100th stair, but attempting the 101st stair sent them tumbling back to the bottom.
• Hu Liena removed the Moonshadow Divine Armor and helped Zhu Zhuqing consume restorative herbs and water of life from her soul tool.
• Zhu Zhuqing told Hu Liena that the stairway was likely a godhood inheritance space with two divine inheritances above it.
• Hu Liena stopped Zhu Zhuqing from climbing again and volunteered to try the stairway herself.

Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena entered the Light and Darkness Temple and began its divine trials, where their aptitude was tested by changing pillars of light and divine lamps. Their trial reached the rare gold-level nine-lamp result, while the mysterious figure in the palace watched in excitement.

• Zhu Zhuqing discovered that activating soul power and spiritual power let her and Hu Liena pass through the barrier blocking the stairs.
• Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena stepped onto the first stair, triggering the divine trials and golden beams that enveloped them.

• The pillars first indicated black-level trials, then turned crimson as the women’s aptitude exceeded the initial result.
• Golden radiance appeared, celestial music sounded, and all nine lamps on both pillars lit at once.

Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena received the God of Light’s inheritance and learned that their first divine trial required them to climb 388 steps through intensified Light of Light and Darkness. After preparing to begin, they discovered they had enough food and water to endure the trial space.

• Two golden beams entered Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena, giving each a golden mark and filling their minds with the God of Light’s inheritance.
• Hu Liena celebrated their inheritance, and Zhu Zhuqing explained that the Light God was a First-Level God rather than a God King.
