Luo Fan's divine body continued to grow after reaching one million kilometers, showing no sign of stopping.
His clones transformed into pure divine power and poured into his original body.
The original body still had not reached its limit and continued to expand.
At this moment, its height had already far exceeded one million kilometers.
Even someone as experienced as Qing Qiong could not help but feel his heart tremble.
As a general of the Wu Kingdom, a Chaos Overlord, and a powerful figure on the Origin Continent, Qing Qiong had seen countless situations.
But this was something he had never witnessed before.
Twenty thousand years ago, Luo Fan's original body had only reached perfect genes.
Qing Qiong could tell that at a glance.
He could also see that Luo Fan's divine body had not broken through the ultimate limit of 10,081 times genetic level.
When one first breaks through 10,081 times genetic level, although the divine body does not change much, the aura undergoes a subtle transformation.
After all, breaking through 10,081 times genetic level means Luo Fan could step into the True God realm at any time.
So the aura would definitely be somewhat different.
Other experts in the Universe Sea might not be able to recognize it.
Even some Void True Gods and Eternal True Gods from the Origin Continent might not be able to tell.
But Qing Qiong himself had a genetic level far beyond 10,081 times and had seen countless geniuses, so he could judge it instantly.
Therefore, he was absolutely certain.
When Luo Fan first arrived, he had definitely not broken through perfect genes.
But now, in just two years in reality, not even enough time for Qing Qiong to take a nap, Luo Fan had directly broken through to sixty thousand times genetic level!
Yes, Qing Qiong knew that only when the genetic level reached sixty thousand times could a divine body at the million-kilometer limit continue to grow.
At this moment, Qing Qiong's gaze toward Luo Fan became somewhat strange.
He muttered to himself,
"What kind of monstrous freak is this?"
He could not help but recall a legend from the Origin Continent.
It was said that beyond the ninety-thousand-times genetic level, there existed an even higher realm.
However, no one on the Origin Continent had ever reached it.
He could not help but wonder whether Luo Fan could achieve that level.
A trace of anticipation flashed in his eyes.
He truly hoped Luo Fan could reach it.
After all, once his genetic level broke through sixty thousand times, Luo Fan had already become the sole inheritor of the Wu Kingdom.
There was no longer any need to test other secret techniques.
It could be said that Luo Fan was the last remaining hope of the Wu Kingdom.
After all, the Wu Kingdom had not sent only them to this Universe Sea.
As a nation, how could they place all their eggs in one basket?
However, Qing Qiong knew that even the other Wu Kingdom inheritances scattered elsewhere would find it extremely difficult to truly continue.
His current state was proof enough.
If they had safely arrived in the Universe Sea, finding inheritors would actually be very easy.
They would not even need to select only one.
With their protection and guidance, they could recruit a large number of geniuses.
Then, after those geniuses grew, they could choose the best among them to inherit the Wu Kingdom.
That would be the proper and healthy way to cultivate successors.
Selecting a single genius to inherit everything was, in fact, not a healthy approach.
After all, a genius was still just a genius.
If they had not grown into a true powerhouse, possessing the Wu Kingdom's inheritance would only bring disaster upon them.
But Qing Qiong had no choice.
He could not stay by the inheritor's side to protect them.
That was why he needed to find the most monstrous genius possible.
Only someone with exceptional talent and powerful fortune could bear the Wu Kingdom's inheritance.
Now, he had finally found an inheritor.
But he had not expected that the one he found would be far more monstrous than he had imagined.
At this moment, Qing Qiong's eyes were filled with relief.
Entrusting the Wu Kingdom's future to such a genius put him at ease.
As time passed, Luo Fan's original body finally reached its ultimate limit of one hundred million kilometers.
After stretching his body slightly, Luo Fan retracted his other clones.
Then he shrank his divine body to an appropriate size.
After reaching sixty thousand times genetic level, his size-changing technique had also reached its limit.
Even his Original Universe clone could now shrink to a relatively small size.
As Luo Fan's divine body reached its limit, Qing Qiong appeared directly in front of him.
Seeing Luo Fan's reduced form, Qing Qiong said nothing.
"Come, I'll take you to receive the inheritance."
He did not mention any further tests.
Just by looking, he already knew Luo Fan's genetic level.
A corridor appeared before them.
Qing Qiong stepped in first.
Luo Fan followed without hesitation.
Qing Qiong led Luo Fan to the top of a massive mountain peak.
Clouds and mist surrounded the peak.
The peak Luo Fan stood on was the highest, with many other peaks surrounding it.
These peaks formed a mountain range centered around the one beneath his feet.
He could clearly see streams of light connecting the peaks.
If he wished, he could travel to other areas through these peaks.
He realized that simply standing on this peak greatly enhanced his clarity in comprehending laws.
Cultivating here would significantly increase efficiency.
Qing Qiong began explaining,
"The peaks you see around you all contain inheritances collected by the King."
"These inheritances are countless times more valuable than the ones you saw before."
"The main peak beneath your feet contains the King's own inheritance, the most precious inheritance of the Wu Kingdom."
"Each mountain is its own small world."
"Inside are numerous types of inheritances."
"If needed, you can directly search within the main peak."
"The main peak allows you to view all inheritances across the mountains."
"These mountain ranges are divided into three levels: outer region, inner region, and core."
"You may freely pass on the outer region's inheritances. You can even bring your clansmen here to comprehend them."
"As you have felt, these mountains enhance one's ability to receive inheritances."
"The inner region is accessible to those who pass the tests."
"You can modify the test content, but there is a minimum standard."
"As for the core, aside from me, only you can enter for now."
"Only when your realm reaches a certain level or when you die can you select a successor."
"Come, follow me and bind this world."
Qing Qiong led Luo Fan into a space filled with statues.
"These are the statues of past Kings," Qing Qiong said.
Luo Fan was shocked.
He had not expected there to be so many Kings of the Wu Kingdom.
He had originally thought there would only be one, like the Jin Kingdom's King.
Just like in the small universe of the Jin King, where only the figure of Sitting Mountain Guest appeared in the end.
Luo Fan recalled that Sitting Mountain Guest once said the Wu Kingdom was an ancient nation, far beyond the Jin Kingdom.
Even the Duan Dong River lineage under the Wu Kingdom had produced several God Kings, let alone the Wu Kingdom itself.
Qing Qiong stopped before a statue of a man.
The figure looked imposing, with a massive sword on his back.
An inscription stood before the statue.
Li Jian · Wu · Sacred King, the 14th King of the Wu Kingdom.
Qing Qiong gazed at the statue, his eyes filled with longing.
"This is the King I followed, and the last King of the Wu Kingdom."
"At that time, the Wu Kingdom…"
He paused.
"Forget it. The inheritance contains the full record. You can read it yourself."
"Before entrusting me with this inheritance, the King left a few words for his successor."
"You do not need to think about revenge. Just pass on the Wu Kingdom's inheritance."
"At the very least, your descendants must reach the Second Stage before reestablishing the Wu Kingdom."
"To seek revenge, you must at least reach the Third Stage."
"Your only task now is to grow stronger."
"I am accepting you as a disciple on behalf of the King."
"He is your true master."
"Pay your respects, and you will officially receive the inheritance."
Upon hearing this, Luo Fan silently created a task.
[Task: Obtain the Wu Kingdom inheritance. Reward: Chaotic Origin Inheritance Space]
Seeing the reward, Luo Fan quickly lowered his head.
Even he could not remain calm at such a reward.
Though he tried to hide it, Qing Qiong still noticed the fluctuation in his emotions.
Fortunately, Qing Qiong simply assumed Luo Fan was excited about receiving the inheritance.
Luo Fan did not hesitate and immediately performed the disciple ceremony.
At the moment he finished, a beam of light shot out from the statue and imprinted itself onto his soul.
An intense pain struck him.
Even with the willpower of a peak Universe Master, he could not endure it.
"Ugh…"
After a while, the imprint settled into his soul, and the pain subsided.
At the same time, the system notification sounded.
"Task complete. Do you wish to claim the reward?"
Luo Fan found that a large amount of information about the Wu Kingdom inheritance had appeared in his mind.
For now, it was only basic information, mainly an introduction to the inheritance space.
Qing Qiong spoke again,
"Your soul now bears the mark of the Wu Kingdom."
"From this moment on, you are the next inheritor."
"Within this space, you have the highest authority."
"With this mark, you cannot pass on the core inheritances."
"If you do, the mark will annihilate your soul. Revival will not help."
Luo Fan could not help but complain internally.
He himself could not pass it on, but his clones could.
Without the system, his clones were essentially independent.
Only his original body bore the soul imprint; his clones did not.
However, only his original body had authority within this space.
The clones could enter, but they could not access the inheritances.
This gave Luo Fan a headache. He would have to study everything personally.
Even so, he had no intention of passing it on.
After all, receiving someone's inheritance only to sell it off would be dishonorable.
"Alright, you should now have the basic information."
"Explore on your own."
"I need to oversee the inheritance trials outside."
"There is an Immortal-level youngster with good talent. He should be able to inherit my legacy."
"I didn't expect to be freed so soon after awakening."
"I thought I would have to survive in this Universe Sea for a long time."
Qing Qiong sighed with emotion and disappeared.
Luo Fan knew exactly who Qing Qiong was referring to.
It was Luo Feng.
Over the past twenty thousand years, Luo Feng had solved over eighteen hundred puzzles.
The requirement for the Immortal stage was five hundred.
This meant Luo Feng had already reached the third stage and was nearing the fourth.
Luo Fan was not surprised.
In the original timeline, Luo Feng had solved nearly four thousand puzzles.
But back then, he was already a Venerable and had spent a long time training in the Universe Sea, with strength comparable to fourth- or fifth-stage Universe Masters.
Now, he was only at the Immortal level.
Achieving this was already impressive.
Luo Fan stopped thinking about it and turned his attention to the Wu Kingdom's resources.
Unlike Duan Dong River, whose inheritance space was a temporary modification with limited resources such as embryo treasures, the Wu Kingdom inheritance was vastly different.
Although this was only a portion of their total resources, the rest being hidden across the Origin Continent, it was still far beyond comparison.
There were over a thousand embryo treasures alone.
These covered nearly every type.
For example, there were several blade-type embryo treasures of different styles.
There were also weapons and palace-type treasures.
As the inheritor, Luo Fan could freely select ten embryo treasures.
Completely free of charge.
If he wanted an eleventh, he would need to repay one after taking it.
Including the free ten, he could take a maximum of twenty.
It was unbelievably generous.
This was the Wu Kingdom inheritance.
Simply incredible.
And embryo treasures were only a small part.
There was also a full set of Chaos Overlord-level treasures.
In addition, there were large numbers of Eternal True God, Void True God, and True God treasures.
Many of them were mechanical-type treasures.
After all, the Wu Kingdom specialized in mechanical treasures.
There were also vast resources.
For example, cosmic crystals capable of re-nurturing a small universe, allowing its structure to be reshaped.
There was even an ownerless river of divine power.
It could be said that until reaching the God King level, Luo Fan would not need to worry about resources at all.
