'Indeed, the remains of Guangchengzi are a tremendous opportunity!'
Xu Xiao looked at the scene before him and felt a surge of emotions.
Fortunately, he didn't immediately start studying Guangchengzi's remains, otherwise, who knows what the outcome would have been.
After all, when that being descended just now, even though it was only for a moment, he felt a fear so intense that he couldn't even move his consciousness.
That was an existence far beyond his current level, with a feeling that just one glance at him could strip him of everything.
'Indeed, no matter the world, anything associated with legendary figures is bound to be murky and dangerous.'
'When traveling through the heavens in the future, if I encounter any great figures with the same names or even beings with the same legends, I must think twice before acting.'
'Of course, ultimately it all comes down to me being too weak. Like an ant, any powerful figure could easily turn all my previous efforts to ashes.'
The being that descended must be the powerful Guangchengzi. If Xu Xiao had studied his remains first...
You might accidentally anger them and get yourself punished.
Death is not necessarily fatal, after all, there is World-Crossing Gate. Even in a situation where consciousness could not be activated, the World-Crossing Gate in the mind could still initiate a journey.
But unwittingly, he angered a powerful figure—one who was certain to leave his legend in different worlds.
Tsk tsk... It feels like you've accidentally offended one of the most powerful people in the world, and you have to keep one eye on guard even when you're sleeping.
While Xu Xiao was filled with lingering fear and trepidation, the illusory figure of the God of War on the other side remained calm.
After receiving Guangchengzi's reply, He calmly placed his palm on the chest of Guangchengzi's remains, and then turned to comfort Xu Xiao:
"Don't be afraid, I have His permission, this thing already belongs to you."
"This is a treasure. Although limited by the rules of this world, He chose to cultivate through martial arts in this life. However, He himself has countless connections with the 'Dao' and possesses endless paths to follow."
"Although this body doesn't contain much insight into cultivation, it certainly has a wealth of experience gained from entering the Dao through martial arts."
"By choosing this path, and possessing the remains of Brother Guangchengzi, you can be spared thousands of years of arduous cultivation, and may even encounter other opportunities."
The phantom of the God of War placed its palm on Guangchengzi's remains, and faint light began to emanate from the flesh.
"I've forced out all the insights from Guangchengzi's remains for you. How much you gain is up to you."
The phantom of the God of War smiled, and the rays of light slowly flew towards Xu Xiao.
"Senior War God, are you sure there won't be any other problems here? I'm afraid..."
Xu Xiao didn't rush to reach out, his face showing a hint of something he wanted to say but hesitated.
This is Guangchengzi!
This guy is definitely a big shot. Even though he just replied with an "um," Xu Xiao still felt a mix of joy and fear.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Once He reaches that level, what He promises is set in stone."
"Besides, the reason he agreed was mainly to repay my past debts, which has little to do with you."
"Don't even mention just wanting a bit of the cultivation insights from this remains. Even if you use it to refine a puppet, an avatar, or even to make medicine or pills, it won't bother you."
The phantom of the God of War waved his hand to comfort Xu Xiao.
Looking at the other person's cautious expression, and remembering that the other person might attack him at the slightest disagreement, he could only sigh:
'As expected, gods have different fates! Although I am still a notch below Guangchengzi himself, I can still be considered a strong figure among the myriad realms, yet I am completely less famous than him.'
'It's all fate!'
This is Xu Xiao, as he still doesn't know who the God of War in the War God Temple is.
There are countless war gods in the world; even the most insignificant person can be called a war god.
The strong can dominate the world, Douzhan even the Daluo Immortals and Sage, and become creators of creations, while the weak can only bully mortals with their God status.
The title of God of War, like the Thor of Thor next door, has been rendered worthless by all sorts of charlatans.
"Alright, then thank you, Lord War God."
Upon hearing the guarantee, Xu Xiao grabbed the insightful light that flew out from Guangchengzi's remains and finally used a respectful title for the God of War's phantom.
"You really do only act when you see the benefits, but that makes sense."
The phantom of the God of War smiled. Although Xu Xiao's personality didn't suit His taste, he was indeed a suitable candidate to walk the path to the highest realm.
"These myriad realms are inherently driven by self-interest, especially those of us who have chosen the path to the highest realm. We must be cautious amidst our greed in order to reach the other shore."
The struggle over the Great Dao is no child's play; one must be selfish and fight for oneself!
While making great strides, we must not forget to be cautious and prudent, and prevent any possible crises.
In this respect, Xu Xiao is indeed far superior to Him. If Him had been as astute as Xu Xiao back then, things wouldn't have turned out this way... Sigh!
"Thank you for your guidance, Lord War God. I will never forget your request and will definitely help you find a suitable successor."
Xu Xiao bowed respectfully and accepted the deal.
"Okay, okay!"
"In that case, I can dissipate in peace. Oh, by the way, I left behind a method for manipulating this grotto-heaven during my comprehension of the true meaning, as a farewell gift for you."
As the phantom of the God of War spoke, the faint phantom began to transform into specks of starlight, slowly dissipating into the world.
Xu Xiao bowed and watched all of this until everything calmed down, then reached out again to grab the War God's inheritance.
This time, the cheat system in my mind didn't give any more hints, clearly indicating that the God of War had truly vanished without resorting to any tricks.
"I wonder just how powerful this God of War was, that even Guangchengzi owed him a debt of karma."
"But right and wrong, success and failure, all vanish in the end. It has all disappeared now, proving that even the so-called strong are not absolutely safe."
"Today I am fortunate to receive His grace; it is truly a stroke of luck."
"From this day forward, I must be even more courageous and diligent, yet cautious, advancing ever onward toward the highest path, determined not to meet the same fate as the god of war!"
Xu Xiao slowly made a grand vow in his heart.
Life's scenery is a journey of climbing, and goals constantly change as one's horizons broaden.
Whether it's to do as he pleases or to reach the highest peak, Xu Xiao always has to travel.
However, the most urgent task at hand is to first digest the legacy of these two powerful figures!
Xu Xiao looked at the two orbs of light in his hand and absorbed one with his Divine Sense first.
