Chapter 250: Origins
Chapter 250: Origins
"Far beyond me?"
"The potential to become a deity without receiving a divine legacy?" Lin Lan Yue, who had been cultivating, instantly opened her eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in her gaze.
Half a month had passed since she entered the realm of inheritance.
She was well aware of the pride of the Boundary Spirit, even though her bloodline had awakened, and her bloodline purity had surpassed that of her ancestors, perfectly meeting the requirements of the divine artifact of inheritance, allowing her to become a named disciple of the Fire Deity.
The Flame Clan's Nirvana Divine Canon was, in fact, obtained by the Flame City Demigod from the Fire Deity.
However, in the words of the Boundary Spirit, her true potential was still far from sufficient.
As for becoming a true heir to the deity? She still had a long way to go, perhaps never achieving success.
The legacy left behind by a dying deity often had extremely high requirements, even for a named disciple.
According to the Boundary Spirit, if she had followed the path of cultivation in the Seven Star Civilization, she might have had a slight chance of becoming a demigod.
But at this moment, the Boundary Spirit claimed that the other party had the potential to become a deity on their own?
It seemed that the other party had the potential to achieve the Fire Deity's legacy.
When did her family have someone with such high talent? How did she not know about it?
"Who is it?" Lin Lan Yue couldn't help but ask.
"Based on my observations of the Nexus Realm, he should know you," the gentle voice spoke up: "And, he's probably here to save you."
"Save me? Who do I know?" Lin Lan Yue was taken aback.
She had been trapped in the Nexus Realm for half a month, constantly undergoing various trials set by the Fire Deity.
According to the Bloodline Token given to her by her ancestor, the outside world should be aware that she was not dead.
Why would someone come to save her? She was inside the Divine Palace, and her ancestor should know that it was almost impossible to make contact with her.
What had happened?
"You can see for yourself." The gentle voice sounded, and countless rays of light converged, forming a massive light screen out of thin air.
Within the light screen, a figure stood silently in a palace, waiting.
Lin Lan Yue's pupils constricted slightly, as she was all too familiar with this figure.
Li Yuan?
"How is Li Yuan here?" Lin Lan Yue's heart was filled with both surprise and joy.
The Nexus Realm was controlled by the Flame Clan, and it was unlikely that outsiders would be allowed in.
Moreover, if she calculated the time...
It had been less than a month since the virtual battle of the Blue Planet Tournament ended.
"Li Yuan has the potential to become a deity?" Lin Lan Yue recalled the Boundary Spirit's previous words, feeling a sense of shock.
She had great trust in the Boundary Spirit's judgment.
She knew that Li Yuan had exceptional talent, but she hadn't expected it to be to this extent.
A deity?
The entire Seven Star Civilization had not yet given birth to a deity.
"It seems you do know him," the gentle voice sounded again, with a hint of teasing.
"The Earth Deity seems to be far more powerful than my master, right? His legacy requirements must be extremely high. Does Li Yuan have a chance to directly obtain the legacy?" Lin Lan Yue couldn't help but ask.
As a candidate for the divine legacy.
Although limited by her strength, she was merely a named disciple of the Fire Deity, she already knew that within the Nexus Realm, there was another legacy more powerful than that of her master.
"Yes!"
"You should understand, Master, or your master, is merely a follower of that Earth Deity."
The gentle voice continued, "But during that great war, the Earth Deity was severely injured and faced certain death. He risked his life to send Master away... But Master ultimately couldn't escape the fate of death, and it was only on the brink of death that this Nexus Realm was created."
"She left behind two divine legacies, one her own, and the other that of the Earth Deity."
Lin Lan Yue nodded slightly.
This Nexus Realm was left behind by her cheap master, so the external investigation was naturally of the Fire Deity's legacy... But in reality, within it lay another, more powerful legacy... left behind by her master's master.
Originally, Lin Lan Yue was about to say something.
Unexpectedly.
"Boundary Spirit, what about Li Yuan?" Lin Lan Yue asked.
"In terms of potential, he should be sufficient. His talent far surpasses yours. Not to mention that you haven't become the master's direct disciple yet. Even if you eventually succeed, the probability of you becoming a deity in the future may not even compare to him." The gentle voice spoke without hesitation: "However, the final trial of the Earth Deity's legacy was personally left behind by the deity long ago... What it is, I don't know either."
Lin Lan Yue could glean the terrifying nature of the Earth Deity from the few words left behind by her master, knowing that the deity was far superior to her master.
"However, it seems there's also a powerful deity behind you." The gentle voice spoke.
"There's another powerful deity?" Lin Lan Yue was surprised: "Are you sure?"
In the Seven Star Human Civilization, no deity had been born thus far.
"Not sure."
"But he is indeed very mysterious, containing a great secret." The gentle voice said: "The threat I felt from him, I can't think of anything else except a powerful deity."
"So I didn't delve too deeply."
"In this endless dimensional realm, there are many secrets, and it's not necessary to investigate them all." The gentle voice spoke: "Sometimes, it might even bring disaster.
"Remember the reason for the demise of your master and his owner... Always hold the endless dimensional time with reverence." The gentle voice spoke.
"I understand," Lin Lan Yue said solemnly, aware of the reasons behind the deaths of the two deities.
It was an extremely unjust death.
But it wasn't entirely unjust.
"He seems to have awakened a Ninefold Star Vein and also cultivated an Ultimate Star Technique," the gentle voice explained.
"Ninefold Star Vein?" Lin Lan Yue was increasingly surprised: "Has he already become an Origin Martial Artist?"
"So soon?"
As a named disciple of a deity, her perspective had far surpassed the past.
Time passed.
As the Boundary Spirit narrated, Lin Lan Yue gradually learned about some of the events that had occurred within the Nexus Realm and many of Li Yuan's actions, leaving her even more astonished.
Li Yuan's strength had grown to such an extent?
"The inheritance left by the Earth Deity is not yours to decide, only those with knowledge have the right to choose," the gentle voice continued. "Let's see if he can pass the trial. If he can pass the final inheritance trial, he will come here and initially control the Nexus Realm."
"Hmm," Lin Lan Yue nodded slightly.
"The 'Divine Artifact' left by the owner, the inheritor of the Earth Deity's legacy, is also something that can be contended for. After all, it was left by the Earth Deity himself," the gentle voice explained. "That Divine Artifact is extremely precious and involves a lot. Even the owner's owner died because of it."
"Once Li Yuan obtains the Earth Deity's legacy, with his talent, there's a high probability that he will obtain the Divine Artifact before you," the gentle voice added.
"I don't mind," Lin Lan Yue shook her head slightly: "The Divine Mind Image left by my master mentioned that his greatest regret in life was obtaining it. Not to mention I'm just a named disciple, even if I become a direct disciple, according to my master's wishes, I wouldn't need to compete for it."
Lin Lan Yue was self-aware. Her ability to become a named disciple was due to her bloodline awakening.
If she could become a direct disciple in the future, that would be fortunate.
The Divine Artifact left behind, at the very least, was not something she could dare to dream of at present.
According to her master's wishes, if she could become a direct disciple in the future, as long as she returned the inheritance divine artifact later... it would be considered fulfilling the master's final wish.
As for the Divine Artifact?
In essence, it was meant for the inheritor of the Earth Deity's legacy.
...
Deep within the Divine Palace Ruins, inside a temple.
"Where is the third trial? When will it begin?" Li Yuan wondered.
Suddenly~
"Li Yuan," a gentle voice echoed within the temple: "You can call me the Boundary Spirit, and I am the controller of this entire world."
"Boundary Spirit?" Li Yuan was surprised.
He immediately understood that the voice he had captured with his psychic consciousness when Prince Mo Hu died was likely this entity.
"The opening of the final inheritance site requires some time," the Boundary Spirit's voice echoed: "Now, it's your turn to choose."
"If you are willing, I will send you to the final inheritance site."
"If not, I will send you away," the Boundary Spirit said.
"My choice?" Li Yuan thought of his previous speculation.
"What happened at the final inheritance site is not within my control. Moreover, the Earth Deity's demise was caused by enemies. If they discover that you are the inheritor of his legacy, they will undoubtedly pursue and kill you," the Boundary Spirit explained: "Consider the gains and losses yourself."
"You have one minute to decide."
"Whether to go to the final inheritance site of the Earth Deity," the Boundary Spirit's voice remained gentle.
Li Yuan didn't hesitate and smiled: "I accept."
Pursued and killed by enemies?
It was laughable; first, they would have to find him.
Just like the legendary Dong Ming, there were probably numerous deities among the countless strong beings from various civilizations, but who had succeeded in killing him?
On the contrary, there seemed to be quite a few demigods who had fallen to Dong Ming, and his name was renowned across many exotic civilizations.
If one is powerful, what is there to fear?
The current Li Yuan, the more he learned and the higher his perspective, the more he yearned to achieve the status of a deity.
"Good."
"Teleportation preparation," the Boundary Spirit's voice remained gentle: "Three, two, one."
A buzzing sound filled the air, and in an instant, Li Yuan was enveloped by a powerful force, teleporting him away from the temple.
...
In a mysterious location deep within the Nexus Realm.
A buzzing sound reverberated, and Li Yuan felt a momentary darkness before his surroundings returned to clarity, and he found himself in a vast, completely enclosed palace.
"The air is filled with dense fluctuations of Origin Power," Li Yuan was surprised.
The palace was majestic.
On both sides, there were over a dozen Divine Pillars, each towering hundreds of meters high, and the throne within the palace was also exceptionally large... But in the Seven Star Civilization, there were almost no such structures.
After all, this represented the immense size of the deity who once resided here.
"Could it be that this Earth Deity was a Mountain Giant?" Li Yuan wondered.
He couldn't help but walk towards the center of the grand palace.
The entire palace was decorated in a very simple manner, with no intricate carvings adorned the Divine Pillars.
Suddenly, Li Yuan's gaze was drawn to the right side of the palace, over a thousand meters away, where intricate patterns adorned the stone wall.
It seemed to depict a starry sky.
"A star map?" Li Yuan was initially stunned.
Then, he was drawn to the intricate patterns, sensing a hint of profundity within them.
"This is the essence of the stars," Li Yuan quickly grasped a subtle insight.
