• The high priest’s Golden Crow mark lit up in response to Daoist Miao’s, and Qin Ze recognized a familiar plant fragrance coming from him.

Qin Ze and Daoist Miao met the high priest, who revealed that the God of War had chosen Daoist Miao to inherit his legacy. The high priest explained that he had guarded the altar for thousands of years and was ready to die, while Qin Ze asked whether anyone else had reached the site.

• Qin Ze detected Fairy's scent on the high priest and wondered whether she was the anonymous poster on the Myriad Races Forum, but his communication card could not connect.
• Daoist Miao questioned why the high priest, a Spirit Clan member, worshipped the God of War, and the high priest said all worshippers had once been equal, before the Ancient Races were established.

• Qin Ze asked the high priest whether he had seen anyone else besides Qin Ze and Daoist Miao.

• Qin Ze asked Miss Sword Case to create a flood, and she opened her case and sent a water-blue flying sword into the air.

Qin Ze and Daoist Miao entered a fiery passage, where Miss Sword Case used the water-attribute flying sword to protect them. Qin Ze realized the flames were testing Daoist Miao and sent him forward to endure them, leaving Qin Ze to wonder how the God of War could have anticipated the inheritor’s condition ten thousand years later.

• Miss Sword Case used the water-attribute flying sword to form a water dragon that extinguished the passage’s flames and protected Qin Ze and Daoist Miao.
• The flames reignited and overwhelmed Miss Sword Case’s dwindling water, forcing her to maintain only a small safe zone.
• Qin Ze recognized that the passage’s flames were targeting Daoist Miao and kicked him out of the water wall to draw the fire.
• Daoist Miao endured the flames and walked deeper into the passage while Qin Ze followed behind him.
• Qin Ze concluded that the trial would drain Daoist Miao’s water-attribute power and leave his Blazing Sun Fire pure, then wondered how the God of War had foreseen the future and why the inheritance had been made.
