"A token anomaly?" Qing Dong True God was surprised.
"That shouldn't be. Wasn't it said that the Boat of Mausoleum corresponding to that token was in the core area of the Universe Boat?"
Peng Gong True God also expressed his confusion, "How could an anomaly appear in the Blazing Ice Region?"
"Is there a possibility…"
Ender slightly tilted his head, looking at the Boat of Mausoleum not far away, and calmly said, "The Boat of Mausoleum in front of us is the same one in the core area."
"No way?" Qing Dong True God said in surprise, "Even if the Boat of Mausoleum corresponding to that token were to appear, it should appear in the core area."
"The token has indeed shown an anomaly. Although I don't want the Boat of Mausoleum corresponding to the token to be this one,"
Huge Axe Creator said, "to figure out what's going on, we still need to go in and ask 'Duan Dong River Zhen Kan Wu'."
Peng Gong True God and Qing Dong True God nodded upon hearing this. At present, this was the only way.
Although that token was an unexpected gain from besieging the Mechanical Race's Father God, they didn't want such an important spoil of war to inexplicably appear here and become a Legacy that everyone had a chance to obtain.
"Void River, you, Peng Gong, and Qing Dong enter the Boat of Mausoleum. Among the Human Race, your Comprehension Ability is the highest. I hope you can help the Human Race obtain the Legacy."
Huge Axe Creator handed the golden token to Ender, "This Legacy must be very precious, otherwise, with the arrogant nature of Purple Moon Holy Land Universe and East Emperor Holy Land Universe, they wouldn't be willing to pay treasures to enter and receive the Legacy."
Ender took the token and responded, "I will make sure the Legacy stays with our Human Race."
"That's good."
Having received the promise, Huge Axe Creator's face showed a smile, then he turned and said, "Peng Gong, Qing Dong, please assist Void River in obtaining the Legacy. I will take over Void River's duty of blocking the entrance."
"No problem."
"With us here, Void River will not be disturbed."
Peng Gong True God and Qing Dong True God replied.
"Let's go into the Boat of Mausoleum."
Ender put away the miniaturized Dark Blaze Palace, then led the way into the entrance of the Boat of Mausoleum. Peng Gong True God and Qing Dong True God followed closely behind.
Some Universe Masters in the distance who were unwilling to pay the price, seeing the domineering Void River Master of the Original Universe Human leave, had originally thought of entering the Boat of Mausoleum to receive the Legacy.
But the next second, they saw Huge Axe Creator, known as the strongest in the Original Universe, imitating Void River Master by taking out a palace-type Arcana treasure to block the entrance.
This made them feel both annoyed and helpless. Some Universe Masters knew that they couldn't enter the Boat of Mausoleum without paying a price, so they had no choice but to come before Huge Axe Creator and hand over their Arcana treasure.
…
On the other side.
When Ender and the two others entered the Boat of Mausoleum.
In the core control room, the seemingly ordinary human male, with black eyes, yellow skin, and a shadowy figure of Duan Dong River Zhen Kan Wu with greenish hair, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Sect token, and it's the highest Rank golden token."
He had followed the general on a warship to the Universe Ocean, leaving only a few tokens within this warship, and there was only one golden token.
"It's a pity. If the newcomer had good talent and Comprehension Ability and had arrived earlier with the token, I wouldn't have wasted energy to start the Legacy trial…"
Duan Dong River secretly sighed, then his gaze fell on Luo Feng and the Aqua-Blue Venerable of the East Emperor Holy Land Universe.
If there were no accidents, the successor who passed the Legacy trial would be born from these two.
…
In the Boat of Mausoleum, within a misty hall.
Ender, Peng Gong True God, and Qing Dong True God followed the map route drawn by Luo Feng and arrived before the cube instrument used for pre-screening the Legacy trial.
Suddenly, invisible energy began to condense nearby, forming a figure—it was Duan Dong River Zhen Kan Wu.
"I presume you all should know that to undergo the Legacy trial, you must first pass a screening."
Duan Dong River's gaze swept over the three of them, lingering longest on Ender.
Seeing that Ender and the two others all nodded in understanding, Duan Dong River then said, "Then let the screening begin."
Then, the dark red, cube-like instrument's surface began to glow with numerous Law secret patterns. The profundity of these patterns was difficult for even Ender to comprehend.
"I'll go first."
Knowing there was no danger, Peng Gong True God was the first to step into the instrument.
Boom boom boom…
The secret patterns on the surface of the cube instrument began to light up, and powerful energy fluctuations emanated from within, causing the entire cube instrument to change from its previous dark red to a dazzling white-hot color.
Soon, Peng Gong True God emerged from the cube instrument.
"First screening, passed."
Duan Dong River glanced at Peng Gong True God, then looked at Qing Dong True God, "Next, you."
Qing Dong True God did not refuse and directly walked into the cube instrument, emerging quickly from it.
"Passed." Duan Dong River said.
Before Duan Dong River could continue speaking, Ender walked into the cube instrument.
…
Inside the instrument was an independent Void.
Ender floated in the Void, looking around, seeing no exits.
Boom boom boom…
Distorted secret patterns began to appear in the Void. Dazzling white secret patterns instantly filled the entire Void, and strange, unpredictable forces were generated, directly penetrating Ender's Divine Power.
Even with 'Molten Crystal,' a Legacy Arcana treasure protecting his Soul, and 'Destiny,' a Primal Chaos Sovereign Primal Chaos Sovereign secret treasure protecting his body…
It was all useless!
This strange and unpredictable force directly drilled into his Divine Power. At this moment, it seemed all his secrets were exposed.
Invisible, strange power continuously drilled into his Divine Power, into every bit of Divine Power, seemingly completely merging with Ender.
A moment later, as the distorted secret patterns in the Void began to dissipate, the strange power completely vanished.
Click!
A door appeared in the Void ahead.
Ender calmly stepped through the door, directly returning to the hall outside.
Regarding everything that happened inside the cube instrument, he clearly understood that this was to investigate the background of the candidates. If they were not a race recognized by Duan Dong River, they would not have the chance to undergo the Legacy trial.
"You, possessing a high-Rank token of my Duan Dong River lineage, are you willing to become a successor of my Duan Dong River lineage?"
Duan Dong River looked at Ender with a smile on his face and surprise in his eyes.
To be honest, Duan Dong River didn't expect that after his demise in this remote area of the Universe Ocean, he would actually have the chance to encounter such a Genius with outstanding talent and Comprehension Ability!
This young fellow in front of him not only possessed a high-Rank Sect token, but his life gene level had also reached nearly seventy thousand times!
What did a gene level of nearly seventy thousand times mean?
This meant reaching the second stage of the Divine Power flow pathway, a Genius of the same Rank as his past self, and even surpassing him in talent and Comprehension Ability!
After all, this was the remote Original Universe region of the Universe Ocean, affected by the supreme rules, where information above True God would be blocked.
Reaching the second stage of the Divine Power flow pathway in this Original Universe was much, much harder than in Ancient Civilization!
If he were in Ancient Civilization, this young fellow in front of him would have the potential to reach the third stage of the Divine Power pathway, becoming a great existence like the third generation Ancestral Master in the future.
"The token left by Mechanical is indeed for this Boat of Mausoleum."
"What did Duan Dong River just say? Is he asking Void River to directly become the successor?"
Peng Gong True God and Qing Dong True God heard this and looked at Duan Dong River, who had a clear smile on his face, and Ender, who remained calm.
"Your Excellency Duan Dong River, you want me to directly become the successor of your Sect?" Ender calmly asked.
"You can go and undergo the Legacy trial now."
Duan Dong River did not answer, but instead urged Peng Gong True God and Qing Dong True God.
Peng Gong True God and Qing Dong True God looked at Ender, seeking his opinion.
"Go ahead, I'll have a private chat with Your Excellency Duan Dong River."
Ender nodded slightly and said, "Be careful, and if necessary, you can hide in a palace-type Arcana treasure."
"Understood, you should be careful too."
Peng Gong True God nodded and then entered the corridor where the monster Kweilo was located with Qing Dong True God.
Monster Kweilo was the examiner for the first stage of the Duan Dong River Legacy trial.
According to the information Luo Feng sent back to the Human Race, it was over a hundred kilometers tall, with a human-like body, a large amount of hair around its head and neck like a lion, a thick neck, two eyes, and a layer of black half-body armor on its Divine Power surface.
As the battle progressed, Monster Kweilo's strength would continuously increase until it reached the True God limit.
To seize the Legacy, Ender had temporarily stored two palace-type Arcana treasures in the Treasure Vault of the Race. One was with Huge Axe Creator, and the other was with Qing Dong True God.
Peng Gong True God and Qing Dong True God's strengths were at the Pinnacle of the eighth and seventh Ranks respectively. Facing Monster Kweilo, who could reach the True God limit, the palace-type Arcana treasure could ensure their safe passage through the trial.
Seeing Peng Gong True God and Qing Dong True God enter the corridor, Ender said to Duan Dong River, "Now you can speak."
"Under normal circumstances, you all should have achieved True God through the Law pathway, but you have reached the second stage on the Divine Power pathway, and you haven't even broken through yet."
Duan Dong River's smile faded, "I think you either obtained a profound Ancient Inheritance, or you are simply an Ancient powerhouse undergoing Reincarnation and re-cultivation. Am I right?"
"To follow the Divine Power pathway, one must have obtained an Ancient Inheritance."
Ender said indifferently, "An Ancient powerhouse undergoing Reincarnation and re-cultivation would inevitably be suppressed by the Universe operation Law and the Origin Will of the Original Universe…"
Duan Dong River listened. Although Ender did not finish his sentence, he understood its meaning.
That is, this young fellow in front of him had obtained an Ancient Inheritance, and was not an Ancient powerhouse undergoing Reincarnation and re-cultivation.
This made him even more determined to let this young fellow become the successor of Duan Dong River!
Because he would surely be able to make the Duan Dong River lineage flourish and reach the height of the third generation Ancestral Master, and even have a very small chance of reaching an even higher level.
"My Duan Dong River lineage is one of the top Legacy in Ancient Civilization. As long as you become a successor of Duan Dong River, you will have the chance to become a top powerhouse in Ancient Civilization."
Duan Dong River said, "I know you have obtained an Ancient Inheritance, and its Legacy Rank won't be too low, but this doesn't prevent you from becoming a successor of my Duan Dong River lineage."
Ender calmly asked, "I want to reach the third stage of the Divine Power pathway. Can becoming a successor of Duan Dong River guarantee that I will definitely advance further?"
"This…" Duan Dong River paused.
The life gene spectrum in the Duan Dong River Legacy was only over sixty thousand times. Ender's current life gene level already exceeded the gene spectrum, so the help he could get from the Legacy was minimal.
"I don't lack secret arts, and the Duan Dong River Legacy cannot help me with the Divine Power pathway. As for treasures…"
Ender extended his right hand and opened it, a silver spear appeared in his hand, adorned with complex and profound Law secret patterns.
Duan Dong River looked at the silver spear 'Cold Silence' in Ender's hand. Although he was currently just a programmed entity, he could still discern the extraordinary nature of the silver spear.
Recalling that during the previous screening, he learned that this young fellow also possessed a Primal Chaos Sovereign secret treasure, he knew that the Legacy he had obtained was of no low Rank.
"Before coming in, I already had two Disciples come to receive the Legacy."
Ender said indifferently, "I, as a teacher, haven't fallen to the point of competing with my Disciples for the Legacy."
"You mean you don't think much of my Duan Dong River lineage and are unwilling to become a successor of my Duan Dong River lineage?" Duan Dong River's eyes slightly chilled.
"You can't say that."
Ender shook his head and asked, "If I become a successor of Duan Dong River, can I pass the Legacy to my Disciples?"
"Cannot designate!"
Duan Dong River shook his head slightly, "My Duan Dong River lineage has always been a single-line Legacy. Only by passing the Legacy trial can one become the new Duan Dong River after the previous Duan Dong River abdicates."
"You see, you won't let me designate a successor, and I want to pass the Legacy to my Disciples."
Ender sighed softly, "Then now, I can only let my Disciples undergo the Legacy trial. If they pass, they will naturally become the new Duan Dong River."
"Are you so certain that your Disciples can pass the Legacy trial?" Duan Dong River was somewhat puzzled.
The Duan Dong River Legacy trial was not simple. To pass the Legacy and become the new Duan Dong River, one needed to stand out from tens of thousands of candidates and meet the minimum standard for becoming a successor.
"I have two Disciples undergoing the Legacy. One of them was the earliest candidate to undergo the trial, and he is also a Universe Venerable."
Ender smiled and said, "I guess Your Excellency Duan Dong River has an impression of this Disciple of mine?"
"It's him."
Upon hearing this, Duan Dong River immediately thought of Luo Feng, one of the two most outstanding candidates.
"I just heard Your Excellency Duan Dong River say that this is a high-Rank token of your Sect?"
Ender took out the golden token Huge Axe Creator had given him and asked, "May I use this token to exchange for a promise from Your Excellency Duan Dong River?"
Duan Dong River replied, "Tell me, if it's possible, I will agree."
Ender said, "I want to use this token to ensure that my Human Race members will not perish in this Legacy trial. Is that feasible?"
"Yes." Duan Dong River nodded.
"When I say Human Race members here, that includes me."
Ender smiled, "I'm also preparing to undergo the Legacy trial, and I don't want to become a sacrificial offering."
"Didn't you say you were unwilling to become a successor of Duan Dong River? Why do you want to undergo the Legacy trial?" Duan Dong River was very confused.
"The Duan Dong River Legacy must remain in the hands of my Human Race."
Ender softly said, "As the top powerhouse of the Human Race, I must ensure the acquisition of the Duan Dong River Legacy and not let it fall into the hands of other races."
"Aren't you afraid that the Legacy might fall into the hands of other races before you obtain it?" Duan Dong River asked curiously.
Ender smiled, "You don't need to worry about that, Your Excellency Duan Dong River. I still have that much confidence."
"Your Human Race members have already passed the first stage of the trial. Now it's your turn."
Duan Dong River gave Ender a deep look and said, "Hand over the token to me."
Ender gently tossed the golden token, then walked towards the corridor, but then stopped…
