Chapter 423 - 224: Inheritance: Giant Level Knowledge
As the panel’s prompt lit up, the vortex around Baiyi gradually intensified.
His soul was growing more exaggeratedly, seemingly endlessly powerful. This vortex seemed to tug at something life-related, making Baiyi instantly alert.
He looked towards the source of danger, where three Saint’s Marks appeared, spiraling within the vortex, rapidly approaching.
These three marks displayed three colors: blue, white, and red, seemingly representing different directions.
Baiyi couldn’t quite understand what these were, but as soon as the thought emerged, a vision appeared in his mind.
It was a deep blue scene, accompanied by an incomparably serene and ancient voice, speaking somewhat wistfully.
"The limits of the world are getting higher and higher. It seems that soon there will be no need for saints... I truly hope that day comes so we can finally retire..."
After this voice passed, the deep blue color transformed into pure white, containing nothing, yet a slightly domineering voice could be heard.
"Ha, is this the feedback you give me? If you refuse peace, then let it cease forever."
The pure white color flashed away, and in the next moment, scarlet filled Baiyi’s entire thoughts. This time, there were no words, just an intensely concentrated malice.
Even from a great distance, it began to influence Baiyi’s mind.
Baiyi frowned, unable to think, and without hesitation, he reached for the blue mark.
Because in that brief moment of insight, Baiyi understood what it represented.
The inheritance of three saints: one embodies peace, one embodies balance, and one embodies slaughter.
Three different directions, yet Baiyi did not need moderation or slaughter now. The steadier his soul, the higher the upper limit of the dark side.
To harness divine power, his reason must exist, and not fall into slaughter alongside the dark side.
"Ah... revived after all... or maybe... this is celestial destiny..."
A low murmur echoed, and instantly, Baiyi felt his thoughts halt, followed by endless pain, like his soul was thrown into a meat grinder. Such suffering was unprecedented.
Three seconds. Baiyi lasted only three seconds before his consciousness plunged into endless darkness.
When Baiyi regained consciousness, he had already exited that transformative state, and what he saw was the ceiling of his room.
He gasped heavily, inhaling the faint fragrance from the bed, still a bit dazed. What... happened?
He instinctively looked at the panel.

Looking at the series of prompts, Baiyi fell silent. So this is... a Saint?
This specialty is unprecedentedly strong; the dark side, which had reached its threshold, can now continue to grow.
Baiyi even felt that even if his dark side became a true Divine Abomination, there would be no fear of backlash and no need to use Malice Slash to deliberately consume the dark side.
With the emergence of this specialty, the erosion he faced was only 20% of what it was, and... Soul of Nature could eliminate these negative effects...
He checked the time. His unconsciousness did not last long. After thinking for a bit, he decided to continue strengthening himself.
Now, he still had one more chance to enter the Saint’s Tomb, which he might as well use.
Although the pain earlier was terrifying, now he felt unprecedentedly good.
It was a feeling of no longer having limitations, feeling both relaxed and powerful.
Even... the Light side’s body was no longer a frail Alchemist but possessed the physique to crush a Golden Lower-Rank Warrior, a... Saint!
[You have used the Saint’s Mark’s authority. You are about to enter the Saint’s Tomb in 3...2...1...]
When the countdown ended, Baiyi closed his eyes again. In front of him appeared many scenes, but before he could see them clearly, they disappeared in an instant, bringing him back to where he had signed the Saint’s Mark.
Having been here before, Baiyi was very familiar with it. He looked around, and finally, following his intuition, arrived in front of a door, where those somewhat off-putting subtitles appeared again.
[Inheritance... nostalgia. Move this way ↑, keep a serious expression, don’t disturb the Wandering Souls.]
Baiyi paused, a hint of relaxation appearing in his eyes as he followed the arrow’s guidance forward.
There was an old wooden door, still dust-free yet appearing very worn, no different from the wooden doors of Dongwu City’s former civilian areas.
