No, something wasn't right!
At that moment, Luo Fan suddenly thought of something.
The inheritance space rewarded by the system should, in theory, be an upgraded version of this inheritance space.
After all, that had always been how the system worked.
Then, did the system's inheritance space also contain a vast amount of resources?
And upgraded resources at that?
Luo Fan's eyes filled with anticipation.
However, he did not immediately claim the reward.
He decided to first organize everything here.
The Wu Kingdom's inheritance space alone already contained a massive amount of resources, treasures, and inheritances.
He went straight to the core area of the main peak.
This was where the most precious inheritance of the Wu Kingdom was located.
In a special courtyard, there was a small pond.
It looked tiny.
But in reality, it was larger than an entire world.
Luo Fan stepped into it and instantly arrived in a boundless expanse, like an endless ocean.
Above the ocean were numerous islands.
Each island contained the most core inheritances of the Wu Kingdom.
The experts who left behind these inheritances were at least terrifying beings at the Chaos Overlord level.
Among them were also many inheritances left by God Kings.
At the very center of these islands stood a palace floating above the sea.
This was where the most core inheritance of the Wu Kingdom resided.
It was also the inheritance left behind by the founding ruler of the Wu Kingdom.
Luo Fan stepped inside.
Within the vast palace, there were four stone platforms.
Walking closer, he saw that each platform held a memory stone.
He picked up the first one and began examining its contents.
It was a secret technique for burning divine power.
After breaking through to the Immortal stage, cultivators could begin burning divine power.
However, although divine power burned quickly, it could not unleash its maximum potential.
Especially as one grew stronger, the effect of burning divine power became less significant.
Because if you could burn divine power, your opponent could as well.
This was where divine power burning techniques became important.
This technique allowed for more efficient burning of divine power.
At the same time, the burning speed would increase.
The burned divine power would erupt with tremendous force in a short time.
It was similar to self-destruction.
Why was self-destruction so powerful?
Why could it even threaten opponents much stronger than oneself?
It was because self-destruction burned all divine power in a short time, unleashing immense power.
However, self-destruction was uncontrollable.
Once triggered, one might not even be able to stop it.
But divine power burning techniques were different.
They could produce power comparable to self-destruction, yet remain controllable.
Of course, there was a drawback, it consumed an enormous amount of divine power.
But that was not a flaw of the technique, it was a limitation of the user.
As long as one's divine power was vast enough, this would not be an issue.
Luo Fan did not hesitate and immediately began learning the technique.
Such techniques were possessed by most major forces on the Origin Continent.
They were extremely important, as they directly enhanced combat strength.
Although many forces had such techniques, their effectiveness varied greatly.
Ordinary ones might only be useful for Universe Masters and True Gods.
Powerful ones could even be used by God Kings.
Ultimately, it came down to who could burn faster, consume less, and gain greater amplification.
The technique left by the Wu Kingdom was among the top-tier even on the Origin Continent.
Luo Fan memorized its contents and had his clone begin practicing.
Although the clone could not enter this place to learn, it could still cultivate the technique after the original body memorized it.
Next, Luo Fan examined the second memory stone.
It was a life-preserving secret technique.
As long as one left behind a personal imprint, even a single drop of blood would be enough for rebirth.
That drop of blood could even be stored elsewhere.
However, the moment Luo Fan understood its function, he lost interest.
His own survival abilities were already the strongest.
He had no need for such a technique.
Without stopping, he moved on.
The third memory stone contained one of the Wu Kingdom's most important inheritances, the forging methods of mechanical-type treasures.
Although some weapon refiners in the Wu Kingdom knew how to forge such treasures, they could at most create ones at the Eternal True God level.
Only core members knew how to forge Chaos Overlord-level mechanical treasures.
As for God King-level methods, only successive Kings of the Wu Kingdom had access to them.
This memory stone recorded everything from ordinary mechanical treasures to God King-level creations.
Luo Fan memorized everything, planning to have his clone attempt forging later.
Finally, he picked up the last memory stone.
The moment he examined it, his face lit up with delight.
It was a complete will-based secret technique set, reaching all the way to the God King level.
It included enslavement, attack, and illusion techniques.
In an instant, Luo Fan understood.
The Wu Kingdom had sent people piloting the Universe Boat to the Universe Sea; they must have intended to enslave World Beasts.
So it was natural that will-based enslavement techniques existed here.
Ordinary soul enslavement techniques could hardly control a World Beast King.
At best, they could enslave a normal World Beast.
Only will-based enslavement techniques could control a World Beast King.
Luo Fan carefully studied it.
This would be his most important method for dealing with the Dark Star Demon Lord.
Although the Dark Star Demon Lord had not truly killed him, Luo Fan had not forgotten that grudge.
Even though he could not yet access the parts beyond the True God level, what he could access was already sufficient.
Moreover, he had yet to claim the system's Chaotic Origin Inheritance Space.
That should allow him to access higher-level content.
After memorizing the three key inheritances, Luo Fan began organizing the inheritances on the outer islands.
These were also quite valuable.
Meanwhile, his clone organized the inheritances that could be shared, preparing to pass them to the human race.
Those were freely transferable.
Qing Qiong had already said he could bring his clansmen to study them.
...
Virtual Universe, Giant Axe Temple.
"Hun Yuan, have you really obtained the inheritance?"
Giant Axe looked at Luo Fan with excitement.
The other Universe Masters were also filled with anticipation.
They knew Luo Fan had entered the trial earlier.
They even knew its content.
Luo Fan had previously brought them many suitable inheritances.
However, they had all been focused on solving the Rhinoceros Emperor Game and had not begun studying them.
Only Giant Axe had been studying continuously.
During this time, he had already created a ninth-tier axe technique.
Moreover, Luo Fan's clone had obtained a Void True God-level axe for him through a system task.
He had specifically asked about Giant Axe's preferred weapon style.
When Giant Axe received it, his expression toward Luo Fan became complicated.
After all, Luo Fan had asked about the axe one day and produced a Void True God-level treasure the next.
It felt like magic.
Still, Giant Axe did not ask questions and focused on studying it.
This was one of the reasons he could create a ninth-tier technique so quickly.
"Yes."
"But in the Universe Sea, you can only access inheritances up to the peak of the strongest in the universe."
"This is due to the rules of the Universe Sea and the Original Universe."
"Giant Axe already knows this."
"I've prepared a list of inheritances for you."
"Each one is far superior to those from the Eastern Emperor and Purple Moon Sacred Lands."
"You can choose based on your strengths."
Luo Fan handed them a list compiled by his clone.
The Universe Masters were even more excited after seeing it.
There were too many options.
In the past, after countless years in the Universe Sea, finding even one good inheritance was rare.
Now, there were so many that they felt overwhelmed.
There were countless shareable inheritances.
Everyone could find something suitable.
Soon, they made their selections.
They chose the best ones suited to themselves, along with a few for reference.
"I think after finishing this Rhinoceros Emperor Game, I can withdraw."
"With my talent, I can't compete with Luo Feng."
"We might as well let him continue."
"With these inheritances from Hun Yuan, I already have hope of becoming the strongest in the universe."
These inheritances were accumulated by the Wu Kingdom over countless years.
Some were comparable to the Duan Dong River inheritance.
They far surpassed the shareable inheritances Luo Feng had once obtained.
Each one was extremely profound.
"We think the same."
"Who would have thought Hun Yuan's younger brother would be this talented? Truly worthy of being brothers."
Now, instead of calling Luo Feng the disciple of the Chaos City Lord, they referred to him as Luo Fan's younger brother.
It showed how highly they regarded Luo Fan.
Some even felt he surpassed both the Chaos City Lord and Giant Axe in importance.
"By the way, doesn't Hun Yuan have another younger brother?"
"Yes, how is your third brother's talent?"
The atmosphere relaxed as they began chatting.
None of them intended to compete for the inheritance anymore.
What they had was already enough.
There were even divine power burning techniques among them.
Although not as strong as the core inheritance of Duan Dong River, they were still highly valuable.
Moreover, Luo Feng's talent was evident.
They could not match his speed.
So it was better to let him compete.
...
After studying the techniques, Luo Fan went to the treasury containing embryo treasures.
He began selecting suitable ones.
Soon, he chose a blade-type embryo treasure.
He tried creating a system task but failed.
It was likely because the inheritance space had already been used for a task.
He directly bound the treasure.
At the same time, he engraved his eighth-tier secret technique onto it.
Embryo treasures were unique.
Their material was extremely sturdy, but they had no inherent patterns.
The user had to engrave their own secret techniques as patterns.
After that, there was no need to activate the technique manually.
By simply injecting divine power, the treasure would execute the technique.
Moreover, it would enhance the technique by one level.
Embryo treasures could grow alongside their owner.
Eventually, they could rival God King-level treasures.
Even on the Origin Continent, they were extremely rare.
Only a force like the Wu Kingdom could afford to include so many in each inheritance.
After engraving his technique, Luo Fan stored the treasure.
Then he stepped into a location within the General's Residence.
Qing Qiong was there, watching the remaining candidates.
Since Luo Fan had inherited the Wu Kingdom, his authority now surpassed Qing Qiong's.
"What is it? Do you have something to ask?"
Qing Qiong asked without turning around.
"I want the candidates from the Purple Moon Sacred Land. If they fail to obtain the final inheritance, hand them over to me."
Qing Qiong agreed immediately.
"Alright, no problem."
"I'll call you when they finish."
"You should go handle your matters first."
"You already know the situation here."
In truth, the General's Residence was Qing Qiong's personal inheritance space.
The Eternal Ancient City was the Wu Kingdom's inheritance space.
Qing Qiong had integrated his own inheritance before his death.
Luo Fan nodded and left.
He planned to find suitable treasures to further equip himself.
Then he would study the divine power burning technique.
After that, he would head to one place.
The Dark Land where the World Beasts resided.
