Everyone was taken aback by the words of the Nether Lord of the Six Realms.
What do you mean by not saying you would pass your skills to the winner?
If not the winner, then who should get it?
However, upon closer reflection, the Nether Lord of the Six Realms never actually said this. Instead, they brought it up themselves, and the Nether Lord of the Six Realms agreed with it in a spectator-like manner.
The Gu Sheng, his aura somewhat weakened, walked to Xiao Hei's side and said with a wry smile, "I had this suspicion before, but I didn't expect it to actually be true."
Xiao Hei looked at the Gu Sheng and asked with concern, "Are you alright with your injuries?"
The Gu Sheng shook his head. "There's nothing too serious, it's just that the people of the Divine Realm are really strong. I really want to go and explore the Divine Realm someday."
Xiao Hei chuckled lightly, "There will be that opportunity."
Looking at the puzzled and somewhat angry expressions on everyone's faces.
The Nether Lord of the Six Realms jumped off the soft bed with a "Heave-ho!" and stepped barefoot onto the ground, saying, "Do you remember what I said at the beginning?"
Some people were stunned for a moment, while a small group of people reacted quickly.
"As I've said before, I dislike those miscellaneous tests, nor do I want to set deadly traps. If I have to rely on these things to select my successor, doesn't that mean my judgment is terrible?"
That's certainly the truth.
Shi Guan asked, "So, does that mean the senior already had a successor in mind?"
"I had to remind you to understand? This generation of young people is really stupid." The Nether Lord of the Six Realms shook his head.
"Could you give me a hint?" Xu Luo was also breathing heavily. Since it had nothing to do with the outcome, he also had a chance.
This is the legacy of the Nether Lord of the Six Realms!
Having obtained his inheritance, one will surely be able to stand at the pinnacle of the Six Realms!
Upon hearing Xu Luo's question, the Nether Lord of the Six Realms waved his hand, instantly extinguishing Xu Luo's fantasy with a bucket of water. "What are you thinking? How could I possibly pass on my inheritance to someone as ugly as you? As the Nether Lord of the Six Realms, your image is also very important, you know."
Xu Luo: "..."
Can't we just have a proper conversation?
I've never been criticized for my appearance in my entire life, but I've already been criticized four or five times since I got here!
Can't you show some mercy?! If Xu Luo weren't outmatched, he probably would have already charged in...
Hu Xinian grew somewhat impatient and said, "Senior, please stop keeping me in suspense."
Are you teaching me how to do things?
Hu Xinian: "..."
Before anyone could react, the Nether Lord of the Six Realms appeared beside Xiao Hei, placing his hand on his shoulder and saying, "Well, you should have known all along that I would choose you, right?"
Xiao Hei was taken aback, then honestly shook his head.
The expressions of the others changed drastically, some showing envy, others jealousy, while most of the people from the Chaos Realm Academy were filled with killing intent...
Seeing that Xiao Hei seemed a bit dim-witted, the Nether Lord of the Six Realms shook his head helplessly and said, "Sigh, it seems he's not very quick-witted... Oh well, being a little slow-witted is better than being ugly."
Xu Luo trembled all over, his face turning bright red.
That's fucking outrageous!
Even when people talk about it, they have to mention me...
"Why do you think you opened the gate so easily? Besides, I've said several times that I would reward you. Do you really think I'm an idiot, giving you a reward for no reason? Isn't this just laying the groundwork for passing on the inheritance to you?"
Forehead...
Xiao Hei scratched his head and said, "Then... thank you, senior?"
The Nether Lord of the Six Realms released Xiao Hei, waved his hand helplessly, and said, "Never mind, whatever, let it be. The path to the Human Realm above has been cleared; it's behind the main hall. Everyone else can go up directly."
ah?
Although they didn't receive the inheritance, wasn't this method of accessing the next section a bit too casual? Were they really letting so many of them pass through so easily?
Doesn't it usually require losing more than half the population and experiencing a life-or-death crisis?
However, time is of the essence. Since the inheritance is no longer attainable, we must hurry to the next section.
Otherwise, you'll be completely outmatched by those who are teleported to the two sections above.
After taking a deep look at Xiao Hei, everyone left one after another.
However, Zong Yun remained here.
Gu Sheng patted Xiao Hei on the shoulder and laughed, "I'll go scout ahead first, and maybe find the others to join me?"
Xiao Hei nodded. "Please."
Just as the Gu Sheng was about to leave, the Nether Lord of the Six Realms suddenly said, "You should stay too."
The Gu Sheng was taken aback, then pointed to himself uncertainly and asked, "Senior, are you talking about me?"
"Who else could it be but you? Are there other people here?"
Zong Yun: "..."
The Nether Lord of the Six Realms thought for a moment and said, "Wait outside for now, we'll talk after we've settled his inheritance."
"Does that mean I have a share too?" the Gu Sheng asked.
"Then it's up to you to choose..." As he said this, the Nether Lord of the Six Realms placed his hand on Xiao Hei's shoulder. As space tore open in front of them, the two stepped into it. At the moment of entering the spatial rift, the Nether Lord of the Six Realms inadvertently glanced at the Gu Sheng.
When traversing space.
Xiao Hei asked, "Why did you choose me, senior?"
"You're only asking now? Haven't you even realized it yet?" The Nether Lord of the Six Realms covered his face helplessly and said, "Aren't you the successor to the Nether Lord in the Mortal Realm? And judging from your appearance, your talent is decent, so why wouldn't I choose you?"
"Just because of that?"
"That's why." The Nether Lord of the Six Realms nodded.
At this moment, the Nether Lord stepped out of the space with Xiao Hei.
The two stood on high ground, looking down at the thriving people in the town below.
However, this is also divided into three parts.
The town is divided by three city walls.
The outermost perimeter is inhabited by ordinary mortals, the buildings are very ordinary, and there are no cultivators present.
In the middle were some cultivators, but these cultivators did not seem to have high cultivation levels or particularly outstanding talents.
Inside, there are various sects and Aristocratic Clan, with the majority of them being top-tier geniuses and experts.
"Tell me, what do you see?" the Nether Lord of the Six Realms asked, pointing downwards.
Xiao Hei was slightly taken aback, looking down and saying, "Outermost layer: mortals. Middle layer: cultivators. Inner layer: the prodigies of sects and forces."
The Nether Lord of the Six Realms did not answer, but instead slapped down with his hand.
Instantly, a massive palm print slammed into the entire city, turning it into a sea of blood and ruins, with everyone lying dead in pools of blood...
Whether it's the ordinary mortals on the outermost edge, the Rogue Cultivator in the middle, or the geniuses at the very core...
Xiao Hei's pupils constricted sharply as he looked at the Nether Lord of the Six Realms and asked, "Why is this?"
The Nether Lord of the Six Realms did not answer Xiao Hei's question. His previous frivolity vanished, and he asked calmly, "Now, tell me, what did you see?"
Xiao Hei paused for a moment, then looked down again.
"Dead..."
"That's right, they're all dead, but before that, they were all human." The Nether Lord of the Six Realms said calmly, "For the Underworld's reincarnation system, unless one uses Secret Method to preserve their innate memories, entering reincarnation is not much different from being an ordinary person."
=============
P. S.: I only wrote three chapters and it was already 5 AM... That means I added one more chapter on top of the two chapters I was supposed to write on the 23rd, so I still owe 9 chapters.
