Chapter 254: Divine Heritage
Chapter 254: Divine Heritage
"Sister!" Li Yuan was always pragmatic.
"That's more like it." The girl's smile grew brighter, "Call me that a few more times."
"Sister! Sister!" Li Yuan didn't hesitate, once someone crosses their bottom line, they'll keep crossing it.
Until they have no bottom line left.
"Good." The girl's eyes narrowed into a slit as she looked at Li Yuan with increasing approval.
Suddenly, she sighed, "Ever since Father's disciples died, I haven't heard the word 'sister' in so long."
"Ten thousand years?" Li Yuan was stunned, it was truly a long time.
"Come, let's complete the apprenticeship ceremony." The girl revealed her small fangs, looking at Li Yuan, "Here's Father's direct disciple... Hehe! Father finally has a disciple again."
Immediately, the girl walked towards the end of the temple, where a towering throne stood.
Li Yuan followed her promptly.
For the past ten days or so, when he sparred with the ten Golden Armored Warriors, he was not allowed to approach the throne.
This time, as he followed Gu You to the throne, he felt a sense of awe.
"Hmm?" Li Yuan's pupils constricted slightly.
Suddenly, the silent and towering throne burst into a dazzling golden light, its radiance filling the entire Heritage Hall as if it were enveloped in endless golden light.
Then, the girl pointed towards the throne.
Silently, countless golden lights converged, forming a massive shadow on the towering throne.
It was a humanoid being, sitting at a height of several dozen meters, wearing a brownish-yellow battle armor, its body resembling stone, without a single strand of hair, resembling a rock giant at first glance, with two arms and two legs... emitting an aura of unparalleled dominance.
This powerful aura caused Li Yuan to be momentarily stunned.
It was too strong, the most powerful being Li Yuan had ever seen... Even though it was just a shadow of the deity's consciousness, its oppressive might seemed to surpass even the White Mountain Demigod."
This was a deity."
"My daughter." The massive shadow seemed to come to life, its gaze falling upon the white-robed girl, its eyes filled with tenderness.
"Father." The girl, who had been giggling just a moment ago, now looked at this shadow with tears in her eyes.
It had been too long.
She couldn't remember how long it had been since she last saw her father.
"Father, your daughter has not failed you. I have chosen the first direct disciple." The girl pointed at Li Yuan, her voice filled with unprecedented seriousness, "Li Yuan, come forward and pay your respects to your master."
"Yes."
Li Yuan couldn't tell if this massive shadow was a remnant of the deity's life or if it truly contained a part of the deity's consciousness... The deity's methods were beyond comprehension.
He respectfully knelt on the ground and bowed, "Disciple Li Yuan, I pay my respects to my master."
Although the deity was already deceased,
Since he had chosen to accept the deity's heritage, the gratitude for the teachings should be remembered, and the apprenticeship was something Li Yuan genuinely acknowledged.
"Bang~" "Bang~" "Bang~" Li Yuan respectfully bowed three times.
As he bowed for the third time,
"My disciple, Gu Ju?" The giant shadow on the golden throne smiled, looking down at Li Yuan, as if he could truly see him, "My child, I've been dead for who knows how long, and I don't expect anything from you."
"There's just one thing, protect your sister."
Then, the giant shadow pointed at Li Yuan, and a stream of golden light flew from his fingertip, landing directly on Li Yuan's forehead.
Boom!
The soul trembled, and even with Li Yuan's powerful mental strength, he felt overwhelmed by the golden light that contained a vast amount of information, quickly transmitting into his soul.
It rapidly merged with his memories, intersecting with countless past memories.
The first six tiers of the Ninefold Star Art, 'True Understanding of Earth Star Meridian'... The first six tiers of the Ninefold Star Art, 'Universal Divine Body'... The seventh tier of the Star Art, 'Earth Divine Body'... The fifth tier of the Star Art, 'Star Mystic Body'... The seventh tier of the Star Art, 'Nine Radiant Void'... Each of these powerful and complete Star Arts.
These Star Arts, each one of them leading directly to the divine level, were invaluable, and many of them were enough to drive countless Skysoar Martial Artists and even Demigods crazy... This was the heritage of a deity.
If the deity were still alive, they might not have been so willing to entrust so many powerful Star Arts to their disciples.
But since they were already dead, all the Star Arts and treasures would naturally be left to their successors.
Each powerful Star Art, the higher the tier, the more astonishing the power it contained, and the related cultivation information was also extremely complex, especially regarding the cultivation content for the Demigod and deity levels... It was vast and profound.
Fortunately, Li Yuan already possessed Skysoar-level mental strength.
If he were just a Source Martial Artist, he wouldn't have been able to directly bear the weight of so much heritage information. Even so, Li Yuan would need at least a full day to fully accept it all.
Li Yuan closed his eyes, accepting the heritage.
At this moment, he couldn't spare a thought for anything else.
By his side,
"The light of heritage."
"Father's lifelong learning, at the time of his death, he left only three." The girl's eyes still held tears, her emotions were complex, and there was also a hint of determination, "Father, I will definitely take good care of your disciple."
"If he's not up to it, I will choose a second or even a third direct disciple."
"In the future, when Li Yuan becomes a deity... I will definitely make him reclaim everything." The girl's heart silently vowed, "With that token, there's a very good chance."
She was known as the War God by the Golden Armored Warriors, but in reality, she was a terrifying existence.
In her heart, Gu Ju was the true heaven.
He was the object of her spiritual devotion.
When Gu Ju died, it felt like the heavens had collapsed for her.
That great war was extremely brutal.
In the end, Gu Ju died, and before his death, he had prepared a heritage hall and entrusted it to the fire deity he trusted the most, desperately sending him away.
In the blink of an eye, nearly ten thousand years had passed. The girl didn't know what the outside world was like or the outcome of that great war between the gods... She just followed her father's final wishes and hid in this star realm.
Until a hundred years ago.
She felt that this star realm had finally stabilized, and the gods would no longer descend, so she dared to truly emerge and began the process of selecting disciples, leading up to today.
"Just the second tier."
The girl looked at Li Yuan.
Weak, yet possessing infinite potential.
She patiently waited by Li Yuan's side as he completely integrated the heritage of the light.
...
When Li Yuan received the heritage, the Fiery Plume Star Realm was engulfed in flames and constant warfare.
The Seven Stars Civilization and Moonward Divine Kingdom were locked in a fierce battle.
About two thousand kilometers away from the Fourth Outpost Base of the Moonward Divine Kingdom.
On a vast mountain range.
A giant over ten meters tall, with a golden body like a giant, stood in the void. He held two huge shields, his gaze sweeping across the four directions, and his eyes seemed to burn with fire.
Suddenly—
Boom! A strange blade of light appeared silently behind him, its movement unpredictable. The blade glowed with a faint blue aura, and without a sound, it struck towards the golden giant.
"Boom!" The golden giant seemed to have eyes on his back, and he suddenly turned around. Instead of blocking the blade, he wielded the two huge shields in his hands, clapping them together like enormous palms, and struck towards the figure behind the blade.
"Whoosh!" The blade grazed the giant's chest, displaying incredible penetration power. It instantly tore through the Origin Power Armor, leaving a shocking gash on the giant's chest.
However, the wound healed at a visible speed.
"Boom!" The two shields also struck the messy-haired figure.
At first glance, it looked like swatting a mosquito, as if trying to kill Rudnef with a single strike.
Boom! Rudnef endured the fierce attack, his body bursting with power, and he broke free from the restraints of the shields, retreating violently.
"What a tough opponent." The golden figure's voice was deep: "Rudnef, you are indeed very powerful, and I can't do anything to you. But I have cultivated the 'Universal Divine Body' to the Second Tier limit, making me nearly invincible... You can't kill me."
"Hmph!" Rudnef's eyes were icy, fixed on the golden figure.
In terms of skill, he was far superior to his opponent.
However, most Origin Warriors could only cultivate two Star Arts, and even the top geniuses among them were no exception.
Therefore, the top geniuses also had their specialties.
Rudnef, for example, cultivated a Sixth Tier Star Art 'Wind Shadow' and a Fifth Tier Star Art 'Blood Erosion Wind Blade'. With these two arts and his understanding of the 'Invisible True Intent' of the Wind Vein, he became a terrifying assassin, striking fear into countless opponents.
Many Skysoar-level aliens had fallen to his deadly attacks.
The Skysoar-level assassin of the Tianliang Clan, 'Darkness', who was killed by Fang Hai's scheme, might not have been Rudnef's match in a head-on confrontation.
But.
Even a master like Rudnef had his nemesis, and the golden giant before him was one such nemesis... Oga!
He was also a highly renowned genius in the Moonward Divine Kingdom, known for his exceptional skills.
Oga cultivated the Seven Stars Star Art 'Universal Divine Body', a famous art in the East that combined defense, power, and speed.
Now, as the two clashed, no matter how desperately Rudnef attacked, he couldn't inflict a fatal injury.
Oga's ability to protect himself at the Second Tier was incredible.
"Rudnef, let's end this battle." Oga's voice resonated: "Although you've lost two people, you've also inflicted heavy casualties... You've already gained a significant advantage."
"In my Moonward Divine Kingdom, our Demigod has offered to resolve the conflict and divide the control of the Nexus Realm. What do you say?" Oga tried to persuade.)
"In your dreams!" Rudnef's voice was filled with anger: "If we were Skysoar Warriors, you would die by my blade."
"Unfortunately, we are still Origin Warriors." Oga smiled: "Do you plan to break through to Skysoar in the Fiery Plume Star Realm?"
Rudnef's eyes turned cold.
In the entire Fiery Plume Star Realm, aside from the Nexus Realm, there weren't many treasures, and Origin Warriors couldn't enter the Nexus Realm... Top geniuses like them wouldn't choose to break through in the Fiery Plume Star Realm.
That would be a waste of their potential.
Two days ago, Rudnef and seven other Skysoar-level powers launched a devastating attack on the Moonward Divine Kingdom... But the Moonward Divine Kingdom quickly retaliated.
As of now, both sides had suffered significant casualties.
"When it comes to the treasures left by the Deities, you can't protect them." Oga spoke in a low voice: "Our passage is over ten thousand kilometers away from your breeding zone."
"But it's only a few hundred kilometers from our main base... Although you won this surprise attack, you can't hold on, and eventually, you'll have to retreat."
Rudnef fell silent.
Indeed, the distance was a critical weakness... It was inevitable that the Seven Stars Civilization would suffer almost irreversible losses.
After a long time.
Rudnef finally chose to retreat, and the golden giant in the void heaved a sigh of relief.
"He's truly terrifying."
"This Rudnef, if we were in the Divine Kingdom, he might be recognized as a Divine Son-level genius." Oga muttered to himself.
Origin Warriors of the Divine Son-level were rare in the Moonward Divine Kingdom, with only two or three in total.
Oga, in terms of both strength and potential, couldn't compare to Rudnef.
"And that Yu Jinghe, his strength far exceeded what the intelligence suggested." Oga recalled the battle from a few days ago.
If it weren't for Yu Jinghe's sudden burst of power, almost matching Rudnef's head-on strength.
The Seven Stars Civilization might have lost more than two lives.
"Let's return for now and wait for the base to be rebuilt." Oga's body quickly shrank, transforming into a beam of light that soared into the sky.
...
Moonward Divine Kingdom, Ming Tian City.
"Damn it!" Ming Tian Marquis raged, looking at the casualty report in his hand.
This time, out of the ten Apprentice Skysoar Warriors they gathered, eight had perished.
Only two remained.
If he hadn't received the message and immediately contacted the Moonward Divine Kingdom to summon several Demigods and urgently dispatch several super geniuses to the Fiery Plume Star Realm to stop Rudnef, the situation would have deteriorated beyond repair.
Even so, the four Demigods' power had lost the ability to launch a direct offensive.
"I must inform the clan." Ming Tian Marquis's eyes narrowed, his heart bleeding.
