High-Level Martial Era

Huh!

Li Yuan had just stepped into the plaza.

He hadn't even approached the steps of the towering main hall when he felt an invisible fluctuation forming out of thin air about thirty meters away from himself.

"Hmm? Not good," Li Yuan, whose spiritual power was incredibly strong, immediately sensed the anomaly.

He was just about to retreat when it was already too late.

Buzz~ The invisible fluctuation instantly invaded Li Yuan's body, seemingly containing a destructive force that made Li Yuan's heart shudder, leaving him utterly powerless to resist.

In an instant, Li Yuan was suppressed by this force, frozen in place.

Unable to move!

"What? What's going on?" Li Yuan was shocked, this was not mentioned in the Blazing Flame Family's intelligence.

Could it be that the information was false?

However, the destructive restraining power was too overwhelming, and even as Li Yuan burst out with all his might in an instant... he still couldn't budge an inch.

This scene made Li Yuan think of Mo Hu's death, but the restraining power last time was even more terrifying, as it had outright immobilized space itself.

This time, it was only restraining Li Yuan.

Just a few seconds later, without giving Li Yuan time to think…

Whoosh~

Several meters away, several strands of purple light appeared out of nowhere.

No sooner had the light concentrated than it shot towards Li Yuan, and immediately, strands of a strange force infiltrated Li Yuan's body.

Cold! That was Li Yuan's only sensation.

"Is this to check my body? To probe my details?" Li Yuan wondered in astonishment, guessing.

With his level of skill, he could only detect the presence of this strange force... which in the blink of an eye swept over Li Yuan's entire body and even attempted to penetrate into the sea of his consciousness within the Mind Spirit Divine Palace...

No sooner had it tried to infiltrate...

Buzz~ Li Yuan felt the Mind Spirit Divine Palace suddenly emit waves of invisible fluctuations, as if concealing its existence... The strange force quickly swept past the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.

And then it completely dissipated.

The strands of light shining on him also vanished abruptly, and the destructive restraining force that had assailed him dispersed just as suddenly.

Within the plaza, everything returned to normal.

As though...

Nothing had happened to Li Yuan at all.

"What exactly is going on?" Li Yuan puzzled in his heart, "What is this situation? The Divine Heritage... No wonder the Blazing Flame Family said they only uncovered a bit of the mystery; there's still so much unknown... Based on the many clues before, the World within Worlds indeed contains great secrets."

"However, they likely didn't mean to kill me," Li Yuan reflected, recalling how Mo Hu died.

He understood that the forces behind the World within Worlds could easily kill him if they wished.

Just a few seconds later.

"Buzz~" A wave of elemental fluctuation emerged once more, transmitting directly into Li Yuan's mind. This fluctuation contained two pieces of information.

"Congratulations, your talent matches the 'Earth Divine Inheritance Candidate' criteria, and you are qualified to start the 'Divine Heritage Assessment.' If you pass the threefold trials, you will be eligible for the 'Earth Divine Inheritance.' You have one minute to decide whether to participate in the assessment. Participating in the assessment will carry a risk of death."

"If you wish to participate, stand still, and the assessment will begin after one minute; if you choose to leave, then you will exit the 'Divine Palace.'"

These two pieces of information were not in the form of text or images, but rather a type of spiritual fluctuation Li Yuan found difficult to comprehend.

Yet Li Yuan could clearly understand the meaning they conveyed.

"Earth Divine Inheritance? An inheritance test?" Li Yuan was astonished, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind: "Wasn't it said in the intelligence that the World within Worlds was left behind by a Fire System Divine?"

This information had never been mentioned in the Blazing Flame Family's intelligence.

However!

Li Yuan had long anticipated the existence of treasures within the World within Worlds and his thoughts raced as he analyzed the information.

"According to the Blazing Flame Family's intelligence, which is information given by the 'Demigod of Flame City,' it is highly likely that this World within Worlds is a remnant of a 'Fire System Divine,' but there are also many other benefits... just now, my talent was likely tested by those behind the scenes."

"But why would there be an Earth System Divine inheritance as well?"

"Could it be that this World within Worlds is the legacy of multiple Divines?"

"I originally thought that as someone not from the lineage of fire, I wouldn't be able to access any divine treasures or inheritances, but to my surprise, there's still hope to acquire a Divine Inheritance." Li Yuan made a vague judgment in his heart: "Should I take the plunge?"

To take the plunge would have both advantages and disadvantages.

One might gain enormously, but there was also the risk of death... crucially, the Blazing Flame Family's intelligence had never mentioned an 'Earth System Divine Inheritance.'

That meant there were no experiences to draw on, leaving Li Yuan unable to assess the level of danger.

"Let's take the plunge," Li Yuan decided after just a few seconds.

Having come this far.

"A Divine Inheritance, how rare is that? The entire Seven Star Civilization hasn't yet produced a Divine Being. " A trace of longing appeared in Li Yuan's eyes: "While receiving a Divine Being Inheritance doesn't guarantee becoming a Divine Being, it undoubtedly greatly increases the hope."

Even if he were to go to Feixing in the future and accept the so-called 'Martial God Inheritance,' it would still be an inheritance formed by the Demigods of the Seven Star Civilization, not necessarily comparable to a true 'Divine Being Inheritance.'

Such an opportunity was too rare.

He had to seize it!

One shouldn't take risks lightly, as life-and-death challenges could easily lead to death... but upon encountering a great opportunity, one must also take the risk.

Moreover, Li Yuan believed that even if a Divine Being was selecting a successor, his talent surely gave him a chance to be chosen.

Time passed.

After a minute.

Buzz~ Another invisible fluctuation reached Li Yuan's mind, the message straightforward—"The test is about to begin, survive the first two trials to live; fail to meet the criteria in the first two trials, and die!"
