FunTranscript
00:09The 65th one.
00:10The corridor is no longer just a test of speed.
00:13Even the slower candidates in the life and death corridor are now reaching Duandong River's expectation.
00:19And the number is increasing at an alarming rate.
00:22One by one, golden shadow palaces appear, scattered everywhere.
00:26This rising number is important because it proves Duandong River's real intention.
00:31He is not looking for one fast solver.
00:33He is gathering a pool of errors.
00:36Candidates whisper through voice transmissions about exactly that.
00:39The time given to decoding is unexpectedly long.
00:42From the looks of it, Duandong River is intent on gathering more candidates.
00:46The number is now close to 70, true.
00:48An error not only requires ability to comprehend, there are other areas to consider.
00:53Even if Luofeng is at a slight advantage now, it is no cause for worry.
00:58East Emperor Holy Land already has nine who met baseline.
01:01Moving forward, we will gain an even greater advantage.
01:04That confidence makes sense only if you understand the hidden cost of the game.
01:09Studying the Rhinoceros Emperor game is an extremely tedious and difficult process.
01:13It is almost like a continuous soul attack.
01:16Which is why, based on difference in willpower, most great beings must take breaks, although the length varies.
01:22The game filters willpower as much as intelligence.
01:26And Holy Lands with beings who lived over, hundred universe eras have a natural advantage there.
01:31Within the virtual universe, that same number causes the opposite reaction.
01:35There are 69 who have already met expectation.
01:38Primal Chaos City Leader, who is seldom worried, starts to show traces of anxiety.
01:43And the more time passes, the number of candidates will also increase.
01:48Given this rate, Luofeng's advantage will gradually shrink.
01:51What should we do?
01:52We want to hold the inheritance, yet our chances are continuously lessening.
01:57Eight universe masters and huge axe creator have gathered.
02:01Darkness Master.
02:02Void Gold Master.
02:03Deserted Mirror Master.
02:05Qingdong Master and others.
02:06Although they are in different places, be it Tilted Peak Sector or Universe Boat, not at the boat of Mausoleum,
02:13they are constantly concerned about everything happening there.
02:16Everyone knows this round is a silent battle.
02:18This battle will determine who can transcend the reincarnation.
02:23Error and determine the owner of the third.
02:24Holy Land Universe.
02:26Huge axe.
02:27Creator's response is the only correct strategy for this kind of long inheritance.
02:31Stop getting frustrated.
02:33It is pointless for us to fret.
02:35Let Luofeng comprehend at his leisure.
02:37As for us, let's take our minds off this by going on other adventures.
02:41If we simply stare aimlessly.
02:43What if this inheritance lasts for 10,000 years or even longer?
02:47True, but all right, all of you should get back now.
02:51Among the individual planes, fog winding around them.
02:55Many stone pillars.
02:56Each bearing a three-dimensional virtual shadow.
02:59Luofeng and the man in white robe, Teacher Origin, are in the same space, but...
03:04Of course, Luofeng is not the least bit aware of Teacher Origin's presence.
03:08The first 2,000 stages are so tough, Luofeng stands before the shadow of the 2,000th endgame.
03:14It has been 3,000 years, and during this time, other candidates have subsequently met baseline.
03:20That has dealt him pressure.
03:22And he also starts to understand Duandong River's intentions.
03:27Apparently, Duandong River does not wish to place all his bets on Luofeng for the time being.
03:31This round of inheritance, since I am already in the lead.
03:34I must work things to my advantage and make this mine.
03:37He is very resolute, since...
03:40I started studying secret techniques in the game through a compare and contrast.
03:44Method.
03:45My speed has obviously become much faster.
03:48This is the key breakthrough that explains his lead.
03:51After he decoded the 1,000th endgame, he started a new studying method.
03:5580% on the Rhinoceros Emperor game.
03:5820% on the secret technique of the 9th Deep Abyss.
04:01With occasional sessions for honing willpower.
04:04According to the feeling he has, the secret techniques and the game share a common point.
04:09Upon comparing and contrasting the two, he gains more understanding, thus increasing his speed.
04:15The previous 1,000 stages took him 500 years.
04:18If he went by normal speed, to successfully decode the first 2,000 stages, he would need 10 times longer
04:25or even more.
04:26Yet now he only took 500 years, five times the original time to quickly succeed.
04:32That acceleration is what teacher Origen, watching from a short distance, approves of.
04:36Seems like this Luo Feng.
04:38Soon, he will be able to finish decoding the first 2,000 stages.
04:43Given his comprehension, his fundamentals, to be able to create a combination of strongest techniques will not be difficult at
04:49all.
04:50How impressive.
04:50He is full of compliments, because he has data no other candidate has.
04:55Most candidates in the corridor do not know this, but teacher Origen, upon spending 3,000 years studying the game,
05:02after adding 10,000 times accelerated time velocity, which makes it 30 million years, has come to know more than
05:09them.
05:09The game is highly demanding on ability to comprehend and highly demanding on ability to deduce.
05:15If one can understand the game in depth, then law comprehension, law studies, and creating secret techniques will no longer
05:22be difficult.
05:23From the looks of it, most candidates have now managed to break through and meet baseline, but that is merely
05:29the first bottleneck.
05:30The bottleneck for Undying Souls, the first 500 stages.
05:35The bottleneck for Knights, the first 1,000 stages.
05:38The bottleneck for Masters, the first 1,500 stages.
05:42The bottleneck for Supreme Masters, the first 2,000 stages.
05:46This tiered bottleneck is the entire design of the test, and it proves the test is fair across power levels.
05:52Great beings with high aptitude would have no difficulty breaking through the first.
05:57First, bottleneck if given sufficient time, just like how every Supreme Master is able to find a path unique to
06:04him to create his own miniature universe.
06:07Supreme Masters have strangely high abilities to comprehend.
06:11So long as enough time is given, every single one will be able to decode the first 2,000 stages.
06:16Yet that is only the first bottleneck.
06:18The second bottleneck requires a length of time calculated in multiples of 10.
06:23Every period required would be calculated in terms of 10 times, or moving forward.
06:28It might be impossible to achieve a breakthrough no matter how much time is used up.
06:32For instance, a master studying the 1,198th stage, unable to decode that stage, then given 10,000 years, 100
06:41,000 years, 1,000,000 years, or even one reincarnation era.
06:45He might never decode it, because he has reached his limit.
06:48Unless his basic ability to comprehend undergoes a fundamental change, this Luofeng passed the first bottleneck so easily.
06:56Now, he has already reached the second bottleneck.
06:59And at such a fast speed, obviously, this is still far from his limit.
07:03Indeed, he is the most hopeful one in becoming the next Supreme Master.
07:07If he manages to get Duandong River's inheritance, there is a great possibility of him transcending a reincarnation era in
07:14the future.
07:15The man in white robe cannot hold back a smile.
07:18All these years he has been here studying the game, so every move Luofeng makes does not escape his eye.
07:24And which virtual shadow Luofeng often studies is no secret to him either.
07:28He is very clear of the rate at which Luofeng is improving.
07:32Luofeng has accepted the inheritance for over 3,000 years.
07:36There is dead silence in the corridor as numerous golden shadow palaces are scattered randomly.
07:42There is also an ocean of candidates surrounding these palaces.
07:45These golden palaces represent the great beings who have met baseline.
07:49Ding.
07:50Dong.
07:51A familiar sound rings and resonates deep within every great being.
07:55All raise their heads.
07:56Must be the 70th one now.
07:58Who can that be?
07:59It must be from our primal universe, right?
08:01It can't always be the first reincarnation era and two holy lands.
08:05Must be from our second era.
08:07One by one, everyone silently speculates.
08:09Apparently, great beings from the two holy lands and first era have dominated a majority of candidates who passed baseline.
08:17The second era and primal universe are on the losing end, with fewer representatives.
08:23I am delighted.
08:24Duandong River's voice sounds.
08:26What?
08:27Every great being feels a tremor rumbling through their hearts.
08:30Even those sidetracked studying the game have to stop to look up.
08:34Delighted?
08:35Such an event is unprecedented.
08:37Duandong River, suspended in midair, is smiling as he looks down at the dense crowd of close to 100,000
08:44great beings from various clans.
08:46Looking up at him expectantly, he announces with a smile,
08:50Human form, Milky.
08:52Wei has broken through the second bottleneck and reached a whole new level.
08:56An uproar surges.
08:57Everyone turns to look at Milky Way horde leader, Luo Feng, who has almost been forgotten throughout the long years.
09:04Rise, Duandong River points afar.
09:07At that moment, a crystal pillar appears, with a kakaka sound from the ground beside Luo Feng, when that pillar
09:14has fully emerged.
09:16Its surface starts to radiate a dazzling red light.
09:19The hazy red light converges with the golden light ray palace from before, and then the entire palace dazzles with
09:26two hues, red and golden.
09:28The golden red palace enshrouds Luo Feng.
09:31Luo Feng is also slightly taken aback.
09:34This is the differential treatment for someone who has met the requirement.
09:37He has just decoded the 2,000th stage, but still, the other groups are even more shocked, and all find
09:44it hard to understand.
09:45Originally, they thought that even after meeting the requirement, everything would maintain status quo.
09:51But from the looks of it, everything is different.
09:54I have said before, Duandong River looks at all the shocked expressions and says,
09:59The more stage is decoded, the more advantage is gained, and this will bring more benefits when accepting the inheritance.
10:05All of you have passed the first bottleneck and are considered to have met my baseline requirement.
10:11Of course, that is merely a baseline.
10:13If you can't even meet that, then you certainly have no right to advance.
10:17As for breaking through the second bottleneck, like the human Milky Way, even for all of you candidates, you can
10:23be categorized into four different levels.
10:25Let me come up with four names for these four levels.
10:28They will be the peripheral candidates, elite candidates, core candidates, and heirs.
10:33Those who have previously met the requirements are merely considered the peripherals.
10:38Those like the human Milky Way will be considered as elites.
10:41One level up will be the core.
10:43And further up, by one more level, one becomes an heir.
10:46Then there is no further need to compete.
10:48I, Duandong River, will hand over my inheritance right away.
10:52This four-tier system, peripheral, elite, core, heir, is the real structure that was hidden until now.
11:00It proves baseline was never the finish line, only the entry ticket.
11:03And that is why decoding more matters.
11:06Duandong River looks toward the seven supreme masters.
11:09The seven of you have long ago bred your own miniature universes.
11:12All of you have very strong powers, so naturally you have to deal with a higher bottleneck.
11:17For you all, so long as you can decode up to the six-thousandth stage, you can obtain the inheritance
11:23right away.
11:24Of course, I guess that the possibility of any one of you who wish to break through and reach the
11:29fourth bottleneck to become an heir,
11:31within my expected timeline, or to directly move on to decoding the six-thousandth endgame is extremely, awfully low.
11:38Which is why you all have to work even harder at decoding, those who have decoded more, at different levels.
11:44The inheritance that you all get in contact with later will also differ.
11:49For instance, now, the chances that human form, Milky Way have to obtain the inheritance,
11:54is greater than you all by ten times or even, one hundred times.
11:58Unless you all achieve your breakthrough to the second bottleneck soon as well.
12:03Work hard. Silence.
12:05Every great being present understands.
12:07So this is how it would be.
12:09The number of stages decoded, more or less, really does make much of a difference.
12:14And a very fundamental one, too.
12:17Decoding more would even enable one to directly gain the inheritance,
12:22without having to progress through all four levels.
12:25And then all the other great beings would be considered to have failed and be eliminated.
12:31The first bottleneck, the second bottleneck.
12:33The third bottleneck, the fourth bottleneck.
12:35If one cannot even make it past the first bottleneck, then elimination is the only result.
12:41Elimination, in other words, means annihilation.
12:44This sends everyone into a state of discreet anxiety,
12:47especially knowing that Luo Feng has broken through the second bottleneck.
12:51They are left in solicitude.
12:52The second bottleneck?
12:54Luo Feng quickly quells his heightened emotions and starts to think calmly.
12:58The first bottleneck is the first one thousand stages.
13:02The second bottleneck is the first two thousand stages.
13:04Could it be the third bottleneck is the first three thousand stages?
13:08That means breaking through the first four thousand stages.
13:11I can become an heir right away?
13:13Duandong River announces two more names as having met requirements.
13:17Yan Chun from Primal Universe Human and Zi Weikai from East Emperor Holy Land.
13:23He remains standing at the front of the corridor for an unusually long time.
13:27And during this period, the number reaching, the first bottleneck enters explosive growth.
13:32In a blink, it shoots past one hundred and keeps soaring.
13:35This surge proves the first bottleneck is designed to be passable with enough time, not a hard wall.
13:41Seeing others pass one after another, Luo Feng is not bothered.
13:45He continues following his own leisurely method of studying the game.
13:49Time passes.
13:51In the three thousand nine hundredth year since he accepted the inheritance,
13:55the number breaking through the first bottleneck grows fastest.
13:58After that, the rate slows, and at the start of the five-two hundredth year,
14:02not a single being is able to pass anymore.
14:04That plateau signals that potential has replaced time as the filter.
14:09Duandong River coldly addresses the crowd,
14:11questioning if this is their ultimate limit since only 298.
14:16Managed to break through,
14:17Luo Feng, enveloped by the Red and Golden Palace,
14:20opens his eyes and nods to himself.
14:22His understanding is that more time does not equal more stages decoded.
14:27Many undying spirits present have limited potential.
14:30Some knights might never break through in their entire lifetime.
14:33So even just passing the first bottleneck is extremely difficult.
14:36At that moment, the composition of the 298 reveals the tiered design.
14:41All seven supreme masters have met the challenge.
14:44All masters have reached the first bottleneck.
14:47While only a few undying's and a handful of knights have met requirements,
14:51Luo Feng remains the only one who has reached the second bottleneck.
14:55Then Duandong River's attention shifts.
14:57He looks in a certain direction and announces with a smile that
15:01Blue Blood from East Emperor Holy Land has also passed the second bottleneck,
15:05noting that the highest hopes for his pulse now rest on that knight and the human.
15:10Milky Way and urging them not to slack.
15:13Blue Blood Knight bows in absolute submission to that instruction.
15:16At the same time, a crystal pillar emerges beside him.
15:20The pillar bursts with light rays combining into a red and golden palace that enshrouds
15:25him, in perfect harmony with Luo Feng's own red and golden palace in the distance.
15:31This visual upgrade marks them as the only two elite candidates.
15:35Luo Feng gives a slight frown as he quietly notes his new rival.
15:38The reaction from East Emperor Holy Land is instant euphoria.
15:42Their masters overjoyed that so long as one of them gets the inheritance,
15:46it is almost the same as the entire Holy Land owning it.
15:50Blue Blood smiles at those around him.
15:52For him, this is more than honor.
15:54This inheritance will be the greatest opportunity of his lifetime and will change his destiny.
16:00Prior to this, he was considered ordinary, only a member of the masters-to-be group.
16:05The reason explains a core limit of Holy Land universes.
16:08Because there is a limit to how many masters a Holy Land universe can accommodate,
16:12when too many coexist.
16:14Those belonging to the masters-to-be group can never break through
16:18or receive provisions from the Holy Land origin.
16:21From knight to master, godly power consumption is alarming,
16:24and without origin provision the transition is impossible.
16:27He has gone from that awkward, limited position to a sensational,
16:31high-positioned status in a short period,
16:34surpassing any other master or supreme master,
16:37to the point where even East Emperor Ancestor appeared personally to encourage him.
16:41The Ancestor's promise sets his desires ablaze.
16:44He is told the game has already proven his potential,
16:47and even without the inheritance, he will receive the best training,
16:52with the Ancestor willing to help at all costs,
16:54to make him a supreme master or even help him transcend reincarnation.
17:00Blue Blood's mind races as he processes what that means.
17:03He realizes that if the Ancestor is promising supreme master status,
17:08the Holy Land must have found a way to bypass
17:10the rule that only the primal universe can breed supreme masters.
17:14He concludes that if an ancient civilization could have such a technique,
17:18then by paying a higher price, his Ancestor could probably achieve the same.
17:23He knows this is his greatest stroke of luck and his chance for a new life.
17:27Even if he fails, so long as he proves his potential,
17:30the Ancestor would be willing to reverse time and space to resurrect
17:34him and allow him to cultivate anew.
17:36Outwardly indifferent, inwardly he is in a state of craziness,
17:40determined to grasp this like a drowning man clinging to a preserver,
17:44setting his whole life wisdom and potential ablaze at this moment.
17:48While Blue Blood burns his potential for a second chance,
17:51Luo Feng's breakthrough comes from willpower.
17:54In the space of the black-striped stone pillars,
17:57the towering pillars pierce to the clouds.
17:59The entire area exudes boundless oppressive willpower,
18:03as if billions of blood-stained.
18:05Black-armored troops are charging with murderous intent.
18:08This is where Luo Feng hones his willpower.
18:11His Moshe body always remains here.
18:13The area has 16 pillars, but almost every being gathers around.
18:17Number two to listen to Bai Chi Starmaster's teachings.
18:20Luo Feng's location is desolate and quiet.
18:23A single stone sometimes leaves the gigantic rock to slowly drift toward the pillar.
18:28Endless roars ring out as willpower impact hits like tidal waves.
18:32Usually while studying the game and secret techniques,
18:35his Moshe body retreats to a borderline region where impact is smallest,
18:39to block external influences.
18:42For honing willpower, he does the opposite,
18:44forcing himself close to his ultimate limit to stay focused.
18:48Under ultimate oppression, the stone wriggles and transforms into a
18:52naked man covered with complex space engravings.
18:55Moshe body, if killed under unique circumstances,
18:58reveals its original form.
19:00And under critical point, he can no longer control himself and regains that form.
19:06He senses he is extremely close to a breakthrough never experienced before.
19:11His willpower roaring to achieve it.
19:13Then it happens like thunder and lightning strikes,
19:16as though the chaotic world changed into billions of stars.
19:19At that moment, his willpower cheers with joy,
19:23feeling delightfully satisfied,
19:25like a fish flying out of the vast ocean or a trapped dragon god finally struggling out of
19:30shallow shores to soar to celestial skies.
19:33This incomparably powerful willpower is exuded from the naked body.
19:37A black robe quickly gathers to cover him as he laughs with
19:41pleasure and advances at high speed toward the
19:44pillars to challenge his new limit.
19:46Time velocity soars.
19:48When he feels velocity has reached 12,000 times,
19:51he feels toil, knowing he is close to his limit.
19:54Despite hitting 12,000 times, he remains humbled,
19:58recalling that Bechi's star master, strongest at honing willpower,
20:02trains under a crushing 130,000 times velocity,
20:06acknowledging there is always someone better.
20:08Thereafter, he backtracks to approximately 6,000 times before stopping,
20:13where oppressive willpower is like a gentle breeze
20:15and holds no influence.
20:17His own analysis is that willpower is the commander-in-chief.
20:21Consciousness the generals, godly power the soldiers.
20:24With powerful willpower in control,
20:27deducing and mental speed greatly increase.
20:29So studying the game will be much faster.
20:31For him, this brings two concrete benefits.
20:34First, after breakthrough,
20:36he will have more clout and confidence in receiving the pulse inheritance.
20:39Second, his willpower finally makes it past supreme master level,
20:45giving him more confidence in getting that white pair of wings
20:48with formidable power to recognize him as master.
20:51He is overjoyed, feeling like a dragon rising into the sky.
20:55After breakthrough, he shifts all focus into studying the game and secret techniques,
21:00pausing willpower honing.
21:01What satisfaction he feels is obvious.
21:03Now when studying, he can analyze from various perspectives instantly.
21:08Numerous inspirations surge, efficiency greatly increased,
21:12and more connections are felt between the strongest secret.
21:16Techniques of the ninth deep abyss and the game.
21:19Everything works in harmony, speed consistently soaring.
21:23In the virtual universe, the man in white robes is surprised
21:26as he turns to look at Luo Feng not far away.
21:29He is taken aback because Luo Feng spent 3,000 years decoding the first 2,000 stages,
21:35yet it did not take another 10,000,
21:37or even another 1,000 years to decode the first 3,000.
21:41Every set of 1,000 games is a new threshold where difficulty soars.
21:46According to Teacher Origin's estimation,
21:49if Luo Feng could complete the first 3,000 stages within 30,000 years,
21:54that would already be a great achievement showing limitless potential.
21:57Luo Feng now stands before the virtual shadow of the endgame in silence.
22:03In Hugh Jack's miniature universe, his remote ocean body tries his best to decode.
22:08At that moment, his entire being seems to enter the absolute peak of comprehension,
22:12where billions of thoughts emerge.
22:15Inspirations collide and problems are decoded.
22:18Even takeaways from studying the strongest secret techniques can be used as reference.
22:22He personally feels that if he were to create a secret technique,
22:25given his achievement pertaining to diagrams of secret engravings,
22:30creating a combination should not be such a great feat, but he has no time to spare.
22:35Then his eyes light up and he smiles.
22:37Whenever the number of people exceeds 10,000, it feels like a sea of people,
22:42close to 10,000 great beings from universe.
22:45Boat have gathered in the life and death corridor.
22:47At first glance, it is a dense crowd, all in heated discussion.
22:51The discussion is about the ranking.
22:53After human Milky Way horde leader and blue blood,
22:56the next to pass the second bottleneck is unexpectedly watersong master.
23:00The crowd notes that an inconspicuous universe master,
23:04from the second reincarnation,
23:06era has managed to catch up,
23:07that he has extraordinary potential,
23:10and that the first reincarnation era and the two holy lands must be enraged.
23:14The point is made that the top three are from primal universe,
23:18East Emperor Holy Land universe,
23:20and second reincarnation era respectively,
23:23while the first era has the most candidates yet none in the top three.
23:27Luo Feng is smiling as he stands before the crystal pillar.
23:30He has just perfectly decoded the 3,000th endgame within that pillar.
23:35The moment he succeeds, he raises his head to look far away,
23:39expecting Duandong River to show up.
23:41Countless cayenne light spots begin consolidating in the air.
23:45The temperature plunges,
23:47faintly causing every soul to feel a freezing sensation and sending shudders through.
23:52Every being present,
23:53all raise their heads to see countless spots that look like snowflakes falling.
23:58The crowd reacts with confusion and alarm.
24:00Sensing something big is going to happen,
24:02the countless cyan spots resembling snowflakes suddenly surge towards.
24:07Luo Feng in a frenzy.
24:08The ground behind Luo Feng splits apart and another crystal pillar appears.
24:13At that moment he has three towering crystal pillars surrounding him,
24:17and the countless cyan spots rapidly consolidate to form another palace,
24:22enshrouding him.
24:23Golden, red, and cyan.
24:25A tricolored palace dazzling beyond comparison.
24:28At that moment he is like a king among an army of close to 10,000 great beings.
24:33That visual triggers despair and panic.
24:36The seventh true master of divine eye clan lets out a furious roar,
24:41his eyes filled with panic,
24:43expressing that
24:43the chance to transcend reincarnation
24:46belongs to his clan and condemning the outcome.
24:49An entrenched giant beast
24:51from the first era cries tears of anguish
24:54and lets out a sorrowful roar,
24:56questioning if they are to be exterminated and deprived of even their last chance,
25:01unable to bear it.
25:02The narrative explains this desperation.
25:04The great beings of the first reincarnation era are practically in despair.
25:09They are the majority of
25:10candidates and also the ones who
25:12desperately want the
25:14inheritance because their doomsday is near.
25:16If this chance is lost, they face annihilation.
25:19They are reluctant for their entire clan to disappear.
25:22They struggle and fight,
25:24doing everything including bullying and insulting.
25:27Luo Feng from the very beginning and attacking him rampantly to affect his progress.
25:32But fate mocks them.
25:34The scene clearly shows Luo Feng has already passed the third bottleneck.
25:38There are four bottlenecks.
25:40And if one breaks through the fourth,
25:42the inheritance can be claimed right away with no further competition.
25:46One who has obtained the third bottleneck takes the identity of a core candidate.
25:50Compared to him,
25:51the rest are merely peripheral candidates who passed the first bottleneck.
25:56And their possibility of obtaining the inheritance is almost negligible.
26:00A streak of white light appears in midair,
26:03then transforms into the dazzling form of Duandong River,
26:06clothed in elegant white armor.
26:08At that moment, he is no longer cold and aloof.
26:11On the contrary, he is dazzling.
26:13He closes his eyes, but tears are already falling.
26:16There is silence as every great being raises his head to look at him.
26:19He speaks softly with a sigh, noting that only one era has passed.
26:24Even though time velocity was accelerated within the miniature,
26:28universe and limited to ten thousand times,
26:31Luo Feng has managed to break through the third bottleneck.
26:33He expresses that never in his wildest dreams.
26:36On this road to desperation after being forced to abandonment,
26:40would he still be able to finally find a descendant like that?
26:43The expressions of every clan change drastically.
26:46As they fear, Duandong River wants to give Luo Feng the inheritance straight away,
26:51which they feel cannot happen.
26:53He then shuts his eyes as his body trembles,
26:56a look of anguish dominating his face.
26:58He slowly opens his eyes and looks at Luo Feng,
27:02expressing that he has done wrong to generations of ancestors,
27:06that he sent all of Duandong River's pulse of bloodline,
27:09which was incomparably noble and powerful with countless
27:12eras of glory and once stood most, dazzlingly on the apex of the world,
27:17into ultimate severance.
27:19He calls himself a sinner but says he had no choice.
27:21He looks at Luo Feng and says he is apt to comprehend
27:24and almost is equal in ability,
27:26at least for this generation of inheritance.
27:28He is able to find an heir who does not pale in comparison to him.
27:33Having broken through the third bottleneck in only one era,
27:36and offers congratulations,
27:38Luo Feng holds his breath.
27:40Duandong River's gaze sweeps over the crowd
27:42and explains that if Luo Feng moves on to reach the fourth bottleneck,
27:47the others one by one will be eliminated and annihilated
27:50in celebration of his claim.
27:52Close to 10,000 great beings present are shocked at that.
27:56They recall that previously,
27:57Duandong River said so long as they met requirements,
28:00they could continue.
28:02Now it seems he is obviously not an honest man,
28:04and once he finds his heir,
28:06the other candidates will be rendered useless.
28:09He then looks at Luo Feng and sets the time.
28:12The time taken to comprehend the game is a total of three eras.
28:16Within those three eras,
28:17if Luo Feng can break through to the fourth bottleneck,
28:20then even if Duandong River were to die,
28:22he would feel no shame toward ancestors.
28:25He emphasizes to remember within three eras,
28:28and as he says his last line,
28:30his figure diminishes and vanishes.
28:32The corridor falls into silence again.
28:34Countless great beings look toward Luo Feng with jealousy,
28:38insanity, admiration, shock, malice, and hatred.
28:42Luo Feng shuts his eyes and continues,
28:44to put his full efforts into comprehending the game.
28:47Year after year, time passes.
28:49Every few thousand years within the corridor,
28:52there is one great being who manages to pass the second,
28:56bottleneck after much difficulty.
28:58As for breaking through the first bottleneck,
29:00that is no longer in the picture.
29:02Apparently, the great number of undying godly souls and knights
29:05unable to achieve breakthrough have reached their limits
29:09and will not be able to regardless of time given.
29:12Among those who break through are several notable names.
29:15Blue Blood Universe Knight,
29:17only second to Luo Feng when he passed the second bottleneck.
29:20Watersong Master ranked third.
29:22Dear Bug Master,
29:23whose outburst is what Purple Moon Holy Land
29:26secretly looks forward to.
29:28Remote snow, the only undying.
29:30Yuzam Master,
29:31East Emperor,
29:32Holy Land's only hope.
29:33Sorcerer Sprite Master,
29:35who unexpectedly breaks through the second bottleneck,
29:38which is a great surprise.
29:39As Divine Eye Clan had not expected her to.
29:42Achieve it with the deadline drawing close.
29:44Becoming the greatest hope of their clan
29:46and causing emotional...
29:48Reaction close to tears.
29:49Time flies.
29:5128,000 years.
29:5220,8500 years.
29:5429,000 years.
29:55The final boundary of the three eras timeline draws near.
29:59Everyone is anxious,
30:00worried that Luo Feng might really achieve a
30:03breakthrough and pass the fourth.
30:05Bottleneck.
30:06They secretly pray he won't make it,
30:08thinking if he does then all hope is lost,
30:11with some saying they would rather die or see.
30:14Luo Feng annihilated so their clan has hope,
30:16not wanting the last glimmer of hope cut off.
30:19There are even Universe Masters who go crazy and try to attack Luo Feng.
30:24As a result,
30:25the tricolored palace
30:26merely gives a brief tremor,
30:28and they are immediately annihilated,
30:31reduced to dust.
30:32In the virtual universe,
30:33the man in the white robe looks toward Luo Feng.
30:37He is truly taken aback.
30:39Luo Feng is improving at a terrifying rate.
30:41Throughout the decoding process of the game,
30:44he has seen Luo Feng's speed getting faster and faster.
30:47His ability to comprehend is continuously on the rise,
30:51his aptitude also progressing at a terrifying rate.
30:54Like a piece of scrap metal evolving into an extremely fine piece of steel,
30:58he finds it unbelievable how fast a great being can evolve,
31:02especially towards the final stage,
31:04when Luo Feng is decoding stage after stage without a break,
31:08like the reincarnation of a phoenix upon its death.
31:11There is no stopping him.
31:13Luo Feng's ability alarms him.
31:14He muses that previously Luo Feng only cultivated for a short period of time,
31:20and this time around studying for
31:2230,000,
31:23years under an acceleration of
31:2510,000 times time velocity,
31:27which makes it 30,000 eras.
31:29He wonders if time being ample explains it,
31:32then decides no,
31:34as past generations had many great beings cultivating for endless.
31:38Years, but the situation had never become so extreme.
31:41He wonders if the pulse of earthlings originally possesses something unique within their souls,
31:47and Luo Feng happens to be the most dazzling one of them all.
31:51He thinks it through that the pulse on earth is very special,
31:54as its state of mind is equipped with an extremely strong willpower,
31:58and once comprehension is achieved, breakthrough will be fast.
32:02He considers that sitting mountain guest remodeled earth,
32:05thus bringing about changes to a portion of the human race,
32:09and this portion now constitutes the pulse of earthlings.
32:12With a frown,
32:13he thinks that throughout Primal Universe,
32:15or even throughout entire Universe Ocean,
32:18what he has yet to gain a thorough look of,
32:20other than ancestors of the two holy lands who have yet to show themselves within,
32:25Universe Ocean,
32:26is Sitting Mountain Guest.
32:28He wonders what plans Sitting Mountain Guest had,
32:31that everything about Luo Feng is related to him,
32:34previously taking Flame Emperor under his wing and later,
32:38also Pu Ti,
32:39he ponders,
32:40that he is the creator of the virtual universe,
32:43which envelops the entire,
32:45primal universe and is magical,
32:47and not as simple as it seems on the surface.
32:49He knows many secrets and mysteries,
32:51but there are still many he cannot wrap his mind around,
32:54and Sitting Mountain Guest is one person he cannot fathom.
32:58Luo Feng is completely immersed in the world,
33:00filled with the game and secret techniques.
33:02He started out studying the game as an amateur,
33:06but with passing time by honing of willpower,
33:09his ability to comprehend is fundamentally improved through
33:12all the studying he is engaged in.
33:15For various reasons he is addicted.
33:17Now he is obsessed with studying the game.
33:19The instantaneous interpretation,
33:22comprehension,
33:23and decoding from a million different perspectives
33:25gives exhilaration as though he has
33:28figured out secrets of the universe.
33:30As for his potential under such honing,
33:32he is like a piece of jade
33:34gradually starting to radiate its brilliance.
33:36He stops for a breather at the 3,190th stage
33:40and senses time.
33:41With a slight frown, he laments
33:43that the time limit of
33:44three eras is drawing near
33:46and questions if he is able to make it in time.
33:49He then thinks that even if he cannot make it,
33:51the game benefits him greatly,
33:53and even if he really comes in contact with the inheritance,
33:56he has full confidence to seize it.
33:58He has a confidence that comes from within.
34:01After close to three eras of honing,
34:03he has already brought both,
34:05willpower and comprehension,
34:07to an extremely intimidating level.
34:09East Emperor Holy Land's blue blood
34:11has broken through the third bottleneck.
34:14Similarly, countless cyan light spots
34:16rain down to create a dazzling scene.
34:19Duandong River makes his appearance.
34:21He addresses blue blood as an heir of his,
34:24saying he is afraid only blue blood
34:26is able to fight with Milky Way now,
34:28while other candidates would need repeated evolutions.
34:31He encourages him to keep working hard
34:34and not concede defeat so easily.
34:36Blue Blood Knight is deferential
34:38and looks toward
34:39Luo Feng with an intimidating light in his eyes
34:42that is absolute insanity.
34:44He is fighting on,
34:45seeing the one and only chance
34:47of endless time has come,
34:49grasping onto it with his life,
34:51holding tight rein
34:52and giving it all burning with passion.
34:54Before the limit of three eras arrives,
34:57he finally decodes the 3,000th stage.
35:00Luo Feng takes one look at Blue Blood Knight
35:02and registers that he wants to fight him.
35:04The three eras finally come to an end.
35:06In the end,
35:07Luo Feng only manages to decode
35:10up to the 3,711th stage.
35:12This is already an amazing feat,
35:14after all he spent slightly more
35:16than one era to finally break,
35:18through the third bottleneck.
35:19And with just two eras,
35:21it would be too difficult
35:21to break through the fourth.
35:23Duandong River looks down at everyone
35:25and slowly announces
35:27that at the end of three eras,
35:28the selection through the game ends.
35:31292 achieved breakthrough
35:32of the first bottleneck.
35:34Five achieved second bottleneck.
35:36Two achieved third bottleneck.
35:37The great beings beneath start shouting,
35:40saying they all arrived later than Milky.
35:42Way in company,
35:43and should be given more time,
35:45that it is true they should get more time.
35:47Indeed, many arrived later than Luo Feng
35:49by half a year,
35:51or even one to two years.
35:52Duandong River looks down
35:54and says coldly
35:55that even giving another era,
35:57none would have passed
35:58the first bottleneck.
35:59And even if they managed
36:00to pass the first bottleneck,
36:02what use would he have for them?
36:04He explains this inheritance.
36:06Milky Way and Blue Blood
36:07are most important.
36:09The other five who,
36:10past second bottleneck,
36:12are theoretically,
36:13still possible candidates.
36:14The rest are merely here
36:16to make up the number.
36:17As for all who did not even make it
36:19past first bottleneck,
36:21according to rules,
36:22they shall die.
36:23He makes a wave.
36:25Golden light rays burst
36:26from the numerous crystal pillars
36:28within the corridor.
36:29That golden light
36:30could give rise to a palace
36:31and also be used to attack.
36:33Countless light spots
36:34attack the great beings.
36:36In a blink,
36:36close to ten thousand present
36:38are annihilated,
36:39reduced to dust.
36:40In the end,
36:41only near to three hundred survive.
36:43The survivors,
36:44although taken aback
36:45by how powerful
36:46that force is,
36:47are all filled
36:48with anticipation.
36:49The game has finally
36:51come to an end.
36:52The next step
36:52will be to start
36:53getting in contact
36:54with the inheritance,
36:56the legendary inheritance
36:57from a pulse
36:58of Duandong River.
36:59The rest are told
37:00to continue advancing,
37:01that upon reaching
37:03the next hall,
37:03they may start
37:04receiving the inheritance.
37:06Duandong River
37:07looks at Luofeng
37:08and the other
37:08two hundred ninety-nine
37:09candidates,
37:10then points far away.
37:11A loud rumble sounds
37:13and a faraway floodgate
37:14originally shut
37:15starts to rise.
37:16Even from where
37:17Luofeng stands,
37:18he can faintly see
37:19the hall at the other end.
37:21He says to go on.
37:23Duandong River
37:24transforms into
37:25a streak of light
37:26and with a flash
37:27arrives at the faraway hall.
37:29Luofeng,
37:30Blue Blood Knight,
37:31Deer Bug Master,
37:32Sorcerer Sprite Master,
37:34Watersong Master,
37:36Remote Snow Yotan Master,
37:37and the Seven Supreme Masters,
37:39as well as a large group
37:40of candidates
37:41who managed to pass
37:42the first bottleneck,
37:44all fly toward
37:44the next hall,
37:45Virtual Universe.
37:47Numerous stone pillars
37:48with their three-dimensional
37:49virtual shadows
37:50can be found.
37:51Luofeng is seated
37:52cross-legged,
37:53but he has already
37:54stopped comprehending,
37:55because he is about
37:56to start getting in,
37:57contact with the inheritance
37:59and does not dare
38:01get distracted.
38:02The man in white robes
38:03stands before a stone pillar.
38:05With a smile,
38:06he nods,
38:06noting that at least
38:07he made it.
38:08before the three great eras
38:10and shall stop
38:10his decoding here.
38:11He notes the 6,000-second stage.
38:14The man in white robes
38:15laughs lightly
38:16and shakes his head.
38:17Inside the dark
38:18and ancient palace,
38:19there are only nine crystal balls
38:21giving out dimming light,
38:23illuminating the entire palace.
38:25When the two 99 great beings
38:26fly into the palace,
38:28Duandong River
38:29is already sitting in the throne
38:30and looking down
38:31with a smile on his face.
38:33He says they can start
38:34to know the real inheritance
38:36now that they have arrived.
38:37The mention of inheritance
38:38excites everyone.
38:40Every power knows
38:41that only one
38:42can receive
38:42the complete inheritance.
38:44However,
38:44even if one can only
38:45receive part of the inheritance
38:47and bring back the information,
38:49it would be worth it.
38:51The thinking among many
38:52is that even part of the
38:53inheritance might provide
38:55a way to transcend incarnation.
38:57Some think that
38:58once they find a way,
39:00they will self-destruct,
39:01noting they have other bodies
39:02so they can still live.
39:04But if attacked by Duandong River,
39:06they might die forever.
39:07Many great beings
39:08who overcame
39:09the first obstacle
39:10think this way.
39:11There are 299 great beings.
39:13Two of them have overcome
39:14the third obstacle
39:15and five have overcome
39:17the second obstacle.
39:18The analysis is
39:20that there would not be
39:21any chance
39:22for those who only
39:23overcame the first obstacle.
39:25And if they are smart,
39:26they should just
39:26gather information
39:27and leave immediately.
39:29Duandong River,
39:30seeing those great beings
39:31excited,
39:32tells them not to hurry.
39:33Theoretically,
39:35they can all start
39:35the real inheritance.
39:37However,
39:37he has something to ask.
39:38Everyone becomes anxious
39:40and curses Duandong River
39:41for creating trouble.
39:43He clarifies
39:44he will spare
39:44the other candidates,
39:46but he does want to ask
39:47the seven universe
39:48supreme masters.
39:49He looks down
39:50at the seven.
39:51Out of the seven,
39:52six are from
39:53the first universe era
39:54while one is from
39:55the second.
39:56They are way behind
39:57this time
39:57and were crushed
39:58during the rhinoceros game.
40:00He warns that
40:01if they do not
40:01answer appropriately,
40:02they lose their chance
40:04to receive inheritance.
40:05The seven universe
40:06supreme masters
40:07are shocked.
40:08He explains that
40:09it is not that
40:09he is not giving a chance,
40:11but Duandong River
40:12has special requirements
40:14for miniature universes.
40:15Once a miniature universe
40:17is formed,
40:17the path will be restricted.
40:19If the structures
40:19of their miniature universes
40:21cannot meet
40:21his requirements,
40:23they will not be qualified
40:24to receive inheritance.
40:25The supreme masters
40:26are dazed
40:27by mention of structures
40:28of miniature universes.
40:30He further explains
40:31that universe.
40:32Masters and universe.
40:34Knights are relatively weak
40:35and have not formed
40:36miniature universes yet,
40:38so they do not
40:39have this problem.
40:40The one who receives
40:41the inheritance
40:41will be instructed
40:42how to structure
40:43his miniature universe.
40:45However,
40:45the supreme master's
40:47structures are already fixed.
40:48He asks what
40:49their miniature universes
40:50are like.
40:51All the supreme masters
40:52are hesitant.
40:53They desire to answer
40:54with the kind of
40:55miniature universes
40:56Duandong River wants.
40:58Yet they cannot just
40:59invent an answer
41:00because Duandong River
41:01would not accept it.
41:03At the same time,
41:04the other 292
41:05great beings are
41:06all relieved,
41:07as it is the supreme masters
41:09who have to take the bullet.
41:11Luofeng understands now.
41:12He realizes why
41:13the two holy lands
41:14did not send
41:15any universe
41:16supreme masters.
41:17It seems
41:18Duandong River
41:19allows supreme masters
41:20to become inheritors,
41:21but he has set
41:23an extremely high threshold,
41:24as well as special requirements
41:26for structures
41:27of miniature universes.
41:28The supreme masters
41:29of the holy lands
41:31do not even have
41:31miniature universes anymore,
41:33so there are not
41:34any structures,
41:35but there are requirements.
41:37The masters,
41:38knights,
41:38and undying fighters
41:39broaden their horizons.
41:41They are not in any trouble,
41:42but are interested
41:44in learning the requirements
41:46for structures
41:47of miniatures universes.
41:49Duandong River
41:49urges them to tell him,
41:51questioning what
41:52they are waiting for,
41:53and points at
41:54Taibu Demon Master
41:55to speak first.
41:56Taibu Demon Master
41:57is hesitant,
41:58then describes
41:59that when he turned
42:00into a supreme master
42:02from a master,
42:03he created eight dimensions
42:04around the miniature universe.
42:06Gold,
42:07wood,
42:08water,
42:08fire,
42:09mud,
42:09wind,
42:10thunder,
42:10and light.
42:11All connected
42:12to the universe origin
42:13and stabilizing
42:14the small universe.
42:16Duandong River
42:16smirks and shakes his head,
42:18commenting that
42:19those are ordinary laws,
42:21and moves to the next,
42:22looking at
42:23second true master.
42:24Taibu Demon Master
42:25shakes his head
42:26and sighs,
42:27knowing he has no chance.
42:28Second true master
42:29becomes anxious
42:30and begins to make things up.
42:31He claims he created
42:3310,081 miniature dimension spaces,
42:36each connected
42:36to the universe origin,
42:38leading to an energy space.
42:40Besides that,
42:41the 10,081 spaces
42:43formed a space engraving,
42:44in the shape of a sword.
42:46Duandong River
42:47looks at him,
42:47questioning if that is all.
42:49Second true master
42:50keeps speaking,
42:51adding that he also created
42:531,001 small dimensions
42:55forming time engravings,
42:57also in the shape of a sword.
42:59And that time engraving
43:00and space engraving
43:01are intertwined.
43:02Duandong River
43:03says he is just
43:04making things up,
43:05noting his miniature universe
43:07would have been in a mess
43:08if that were the case,
43:09and moves to next.
43:11Some great beings
43:12cannot help laughing.
43:13Second true master
43:14glances around,
43:15angry,
43:16having indeed been
43:17making things up
43:18as it is
43:18completely imaginary structure.
43:20When he was breeding
43:21the universe,
43:22he was very careful
43:22and did not dare
43:23to be bold.
43:24Another supreme master
43:25says when he became
43:27a supreme master,
43:28God Kingdom
43:29became a small universe
43:30which has eight
43:31periphery worlds
43:32and two core worlds.
43:34Extremely stable.
43:35Duandong River
43:36shakes his head,
43:37saying although it is stable,
43:39it is difficult to improve
43:40and moves to next.
43:42All the supreme masters
43:43try to make up lies
43:44to satisfy requirements,
43:46but he is not fooled.
43:47He comments on each,
43:49noting interesting claims.
43:51Questioning if their universes
43:52are really like that,
43:53calling them mediocre.
43:55After hearing all answers
43:56from the supreme masters,
43:58he shakes his head.
43:59He says without instructions
44:01from more powerful beings,
44:03they cannot even think
44:04of a more sophisticated way
44:05to create universes.
44:07None of the seven
44:08can inherit Duandong River
44:09and do not have enough potential.
44:11He notes if they can solve
44:13six thousand puzzles,
44:14they would be willing
44:15to pay the price.
44:16However,
44:17they are too underqualified
44:18to receive his inheritance.
44:20The seven supreme masters
44:21look at each other,
44:22discouraged that they came
44:24trying to receive inheritance.
44:25They were at a disadvantage
44:27when playing the game
44:28and are discriminated against
44:30because of miniature universes.
44:32All the other 292 great beings
44:34are calm,
44:35even those from
44:36first universe era.
44:37After all,
44:38it is not discrimination
44:39against a particular power.
44:41Instead,
44:42none of the supreme masters
44:43are qualified
44:43to enter next round.
44:45Luo Feng thinks
44:46that he did not expect
44:47mysteries behind
44:48forming miniature universes.
44:50He reasons that
44:51supreme masters
44:52are already top beings
44:53in original universe.
44:54And as for universe structures,
44:57only greater beings
44:58from ancient civilization
44:59can tell which one is better.
45:01He reflects that
45:02this is what inheritance means.
45:03It is based on experience
45:05of elder generations,
45:06and they find a path
45:07to becoming pinnacle being.
45:09The elder generations
45:10paid a great price for it,
45:12and it is so invaluable
45:13that even two ancestors
45:15from Holy Land
45:16long for it.
45:17Duandong River looks down
45:19and announces
45:19none of the seven
45:20are qualified.
45:21And aside from them,
45:23none of the candidates
45:24from Divine.
45:25I-Clan are qualified
45:26and they are all going to die.
45:28The mention of Divine I-Clan
45:29causes confusion.
45:31Luo Feng is dazed.
45:32Deer Bug Master
45:33is surprised as well.
45:35Blue Blood Knight
45:35is confused.
45:36Sorcerer Sprite Master
45:38is shocked.
45:39Everyone from Divine I-Clan
45:40is dazed.
45:41Seventh True Master
45:42takes out the supreme
45:43true treasure
45:44Ice Cliff Fortress.
45:46He immediately goes into it,
45:47which grows larger,
45:49the fortress on the mountain
45:50looking elegant and delicate.
45:52He transmits
45:53voice-telling others
45:54to come in.
45:54All twenty-eight candidates
45:56from Divine I-Clan
45:57enter the fortress.
45:58It lands on the floor,
45:59followed by a furious voice
46:01questioning
46:01Master Duandong River,
46:03asking why they are not qualified,
46:05why they all need to die,
46:07why they are discriminated against,
46:09and why he did
46:10not tell them
46:11when they were being
46:12inspected
46:13just like he did
46:14to the skeleton clan,
46:16noting if told beforehand,
46:17they would not have come in.
46:19The candidates
46:19from Divine I-Clan
46:20are indeed infuriated.
46:22However,
46:23they all know
46:23they need to have argument
46:25from inside the fortress.
46:26After all,
46:27even Duandong River
46:28cannot hurt them
46:29if they are in
46:30a supreme true treasure palace,
46:32especially when
46:33Duandong River
46:34is already dead.
46:35They continue questioning
46:36why there is double standard,
46:38why he gave hope
46:39and let them despair,
46:40why he only tells them
46:41they are not qualified
46:42and must die
46:43at this moment.
46:44Clearly,
46:45the Divine I-Clan
46:46is infuriated.
46:47Duandong River
46:48looks down
46:49and explains
46:50it is a request
46:50from his friend.
46:52He owes him one,
46:53so he said yes.
46:55Visi platforms are a Ts saturated.
46:58.
46:58.
46:58.
