High-Level Martial Era

"Far surpass me?"

"Could possess the potential to become a divine being without receiving a Divine Being Inheritance?" Lin Lanyue, who had been cultivating, suddenly opened her eyes, a trace of surprise flashing across them.

Half a month into the inheritance site.

She was fully aware of how proud the Boundary Spirit was; even though she had surpassed her ancestors in the purity of her bloodline after her Bloodline Awakening, perfectly matching the requirements to inherit the Divine Artifact and thus becoming a 'Fire System Divine's named disciple.'

Like the Nirvana Divine Scripture of the Blazing Flame Family, it was actually obtained from a Fire System Divine by a demigod of Flame City.

Yet, according to the Boundary Spirit, her true Comprehension and talent were still far from sufficient.

As for becoming a true inheritor of the Divine Being? She herself still had a long way to go, and might never succeed.

The inheritance left behind by a divine being on the brink of death always had exceedingly high requirements, even for named disciples.

In the words of the Boundary Spirit, if she practiced step by step within the Seven Star Civilization, she might have a slim hope of becoming a Demigod.

But now, the Boundary Spirit was saying that this person had the potential to become a 'Divine Being' on their own?

It seemed that this person had a chance to become an Earth System Divine Inheritor.

When did her family have someone with such high talent?

How was she not aware of it?

"Who is it?" Lin Lanyue couldn't help but ask.

"According to my observation of the World within Worlds during this period, he should be someone you know," said the gentle voice. "Moreover, he should be here to save you."

"Save me? Someone I know?" Lin Lanyue was momentarily stunned.

She had been trapped in the World within Worlds for half a month, constantly facing many trials from the 'Fire System Divine.'

Based on the 'Bloodline Token' given to her by her ancestor, the outside world should be aware she hadn't died.

Why would someone be sent to save her?

She was nearly unreachable inside the Relic Divine Palace, which her ancestor should have known.

Had something happened?

"See for yourself." The gentle voice sounded again, and following that, countless rays of light converged, and a massive light screen appeared out of nowhere.

Appearing on the screen was the figure of someone standing silently in the palace, waiting.

Lin Lanyue's pupils constricted slightly because she was all too familiar with this figure.

Li Yuan?

"Why is Li Yuan here?" Lin Lanyue's heart surged with shock and joy.

The World within Worlds was controlled by the Blazing Flame Family, and theoretically, outsiders shouldn't be allowed in.

Moreover, considering the time.

Less than a month had passed since the virtual combat of the Blue Star Grand Competition had ended.

"Li Yuan has the potential to become a divine being?" Lin Lanyue recalled what the Boundary Spirit had just said, feeling somewhat shocked.

She trusted the Boundary Spirit's judgement.

She knew Li Yuan was extremely talented, but she never imagined it would be to this extent.

A Divine Being?

The entire Seven Star Civilization had yet to give birth to a Divine Being.

"It seems you do know him," the gentle voice sounded again, with a hint of teasing.

"An Earth System Divine seems much stronger than your master, right? Their inheritance requirements must be much higher," Lin Lanyue couldn't help saying. "Does Li Yuan have a chance to receive the inheritance directly?"

As a candidate for the Divine Being Inheritance.

Although she was limited in strength, merely a named disciple of the Fire System Divine, she was already privy to many secrets of the World within Worlds.

"Correct!"

"You should understand that master, that is, your mentor, was but a follower of that Earth System Divine," continued the gentle voice. "It was just during that great battle long ago that the Earth System Divine was mortally wounded, undoubtedly dying, and, with their last effort, managed to send the master away...

but the master also couldn't escape the fate of death, and only then was this World within Worlds created before they perished."

"She left behind two Divine Being Inheritances, one of her own and the other of that Earth System Divine."

Lin Lanyue nodded slightly.

This World within Worlds was left by her cheap master, so the outside world's Inquiry naturally concerned the Fire lineage... but in reality, it contained another even more powerful legacy... left by her master's own master.

Originally, Lin Lanyue had planned to return to the Seven Star Civilization when she was strong enough.

To then have some talents of the civilization attempt to pass the trials of the World within Worlds, to see if they could acquire the Earth System Divine's inheritance.

Unexpectedly.

Li Yuan had come so soon, and quickly earned the recognition of the Boundary Spirit.

"Boundary Spirit, how is Li Yuan?" Lin Lanyue asked.

"In terms of potential, he should be enough. His talent far exceeds yours, not to mention that you are not yet the direct disciple of the master; even if you eventually became one, your chances of achieving Divine status in the future are probably not as high as his," the gentle voice spoke plainly.

"However, the ultimate trial of the Earth System Divine Inheritance was personally left by the Divine long ago... what exactly it is, I am not clear."

Lin Lanyue listened carefully.

She could infer from the few words left by her master the terrifying extent of that Earth System Divine, far surpassing her master.

"However, there seems to be a powerful Divine behind your fellow villager," the gentle voice said.

"Another powerful Divine?" Lin Lanyue was astonished. "Are you sure?"

In the Seven Star human civilization thus far, no Divine had ever appeared.

"Not sure."

"It's just that he really is mysterious, containing great secrets," said the gentle voice. "The slight threat he poses to me, apart from a powerful Divinity, I can think of nothing else."

"So, I haven't delved deeper."

"In this endless timespace, there are many secrets, and they need not always be probed," the gentle voice said. "Sometimes, it can bring disaster instead."

"Remember the reason for the demise of your mentor and their master... always be in awe of the endless timespace," the gentle voice advised.

"Understood," Lin Lanyue responded solemnly. She was clear on the reasons for the fall of the two Divinities.

They died very unfairly.

But it was not unjust.

"It seems he has awakened a Nine Layers Star Vein and cultivated a Supreme Star Technique as well," the gentle voice said.

"Nine Layer Star Vein?" Lin Lanyue's heart was increasingly shocked, "Has he already become a Prime Warrior?"

"So soon?"

As a named disciple of a Divine Being, her vision had become far superior to the past.

Time passed.

With the Boundary Spirit's narrative, Lin Lanyue approximately understood some events inside the World within Worlds and also learned of many things Li Yuan had done, which increasingly astonished her.

Li Yuan's strength had grown to this extent?

"The inheritance left by the Earth System Divine Being is not for you to decide; you only have the right to know," the gentle voice spoke, "Let's see if he can pass the trial. If he can surpass the ultimate test of inheritance, he will also come here and initially control the World within Worlds."

"Mhm," Lin Lanyue nodded slightly.

"Furthermore,"

"The 'Divine Artifact' left by the master, even the inheritor of the Earth System Divine Being is eligible to contend for it, as it was indeed left by the Earth System Divine Being," the gentle voice continued, "That Divine Artifact is extremely precious and involves major implications. The owner of the master perished because of it."

"Once Li Yuan obtains the Earth System Divine Being's inheritance, given his talents, he is highly likely to acquire the Divine Artifact before you," said the gentle voice.

"I don't mind."

"That Divine Artifact... my master mentioned in his Divine Sense's shadow image that his greatest regret in life was obtaining it," Lin Lanyue shook her head slightly, "Not to mention that I'm just a named disciple, even if I were to become a Direct Disciple, according to the master's wishes, he advised me not to covet it."

Lin Lanyue was self-aware; becoming a named disciple was already due to her Bloodline Awakening.

If she could become a Direct Disciple in the future, that would be a stroke of luck.

The ultimate legacy's Divine Artifact, at least, was not something she currently dared to entertain.

According to the master's wishes, if she could become a Direct Disciple in the future, all she needed to do was return the Divine Artifact... and she would fulfill the last will.

As for that Divine Artifact?

Essentially, it was meant for the inheritor of the Earth System Divine Being.

...

Deep within the Divine Palace ruins, within that Divine Hall.

"Where is the Third Layer trial? Isn't it starting yet?" Li Yuan wondered inwardly.

Suddenly~

"Li Yuan," a gentle voice suddenly rang out in the Divine Hall, "You may call me the Boundary Spirit, and I am also the controller of the entire world."

"Boundary Spirit?" Li Yuan was inwardly shocked.

He instantly realized that the whisper he had captured with his spiritual power when Mo Hu died must have been from this entity.

"The ultimate legacy site will take some time to open," the voice of Boundary Spirit resounded, "Now, it's time for you to choose."

"If you wish," she continued, "I will send you to the ultimate legacy site."

"If you do not wish, then I will send you away," said Boundary Spirit.

"I have to choose?" Li Yuan reflected on his previous speculation.

"I have no control over what happens at the ultimate legacy site. Furthermore, the Earth System Divine Being fell because an enemy killed him. That Divine enemy will surely aim to kill you with all they have once they learn you're the inheritor," the Boundary Spirit spoke indifferently, "Consider the gains and losses for yourself."

"You have one minute to decide."

"Whether to go to the Earth System Divine Being's ultimate legacy site," the Boundary Spirit said gently.

Without further thought, Li Yuan smiled and said, "I accept."

An enemy Divine Being? Hunting me?

What a joke, first they have to find me.

Just like my senior Dongfang Ji, how many strong beings from different civilizations wish to kill him? Surely, there must be Divine Beings among them, but has anyone succeeded?

On the contrary, it seems there are quite a few Demigods slaughtered by Dongfang Ji, with his name known among many Foreign Civilizations.

If one is strong, why fear an enemy?

The more Li Yuan learned and the higher his horizons rose... the stronger his desire to become a Divine Being became.

"Good."

"Prepare for transmission," the Boundary Spirit's voice remained gentle, "Three, two, one."

A hum~ An invisible wave enveloped Li Yuan, and in the next moment, he vanished from the Divine Hall.

...

A mysterious place deep within the World within Worlds.

Hum~ An invisible fluctuation swept by.

Li Yuan felt darkness before his eyes, and after several seconds, when everything cleared, he was already in a vast, completely sealed hall.

"The air is filled with such a rich scent of Origin Power fluctuations," Li Yuan marveled silently, observing this hall.

Imposingly magnificent.

On both sides, more than a dozen Divine Pillars supported it, each hundreds of meters tall. The throne in the temple was also exceptionally massive... but in the Seven Star Civilization, there were almost no such structures.

After all, what size must the inhabitant be?

"Could it be that this Earth System Divine Being was a giant?" Li Yuan pondered to himself.

He couldn't help but walk towards the center of the great hall.

The entire hall's decoration was very simple, with no carvings or reliefs on the pillars.

Suddenly.

Li Yuan looked towards the right side wall of the imposing hall, a thousand meters away, where countless patterns were engraved.

They seemed to depict the scenes of stars and starry skies.

"A starry sky map?" Li Yuan was initially startled.

Then he was captivated by the humongous starry mural, feeling as if it contained a certain mystery.

"It's the Stellar True Intent," Li Yuan quickly caught on to a trace of mystery.
