From the Metropolis to the Strongest in the Cosmos

'Is that... a Token for the seven-colored Inheritance Space?'

'Luoyu once used a token for a seven-colored Inheritance Space to enter the Inheritance Space on the Slaughter Battlefield. I didn't think he'd have another one.'

Li Yang was lost in thought. Upon seeing the Token in Luoyu's hand, several Deities present immediately recognized it. Their faces revealed their astonishment, and even a trace of longing.

Of course, they knew just how precious this Token was!

Looking at Li Yang, Luoyu smiled. "Li Yang, you may not recognize the Token in my hand. Allow me to explain."

With a smile, he said, "When our Human Race cultivates geniuses, they must rely on themselves once they reach the World Realm. The best training ground for them is the Slaughter Battlefield, a place filled with experts from countless races who fight and kill one another."

"Slaughter Battlefield?" Hearing this, Li Yang's interest was piqued.

However, the path from the World Realm to the Divine Realm was indeed paved with slaughter. Every expert had experienced it.

Only by continuously accumulating experience could one hope to become a Deity in the future, or even break through to become an Emperor.

Unless one was a born Deity, like those of the Fire Nether Divine Beast race, they could just coast to victory.

Otherwise, even a powerful being like a Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon, born having mastered one law and three of its profundities, might fail to become a Deity.

Luoyu continued, "On the Slaughter Battlefield, there is a well-known super inheritance left behind by an existence who surpassed the Dominator level. It contains inheritances for all twelve types of laws."

"This very Token allows entry into that super inheritance. You can stay inside for ten years and receive the inheritance for any law you choose. It will reduce the difficulty of becoming a Deity by at least half. After the ten-year inheritance is over, you can even obtain a treasure. These treasures can be Divine Artifacts or powerful Cultivation Techniques. One peerless genius even managed to find a Sacred Artifact inside."

'A super inheritance? All twelve systems of laws? Ten years of inheritance time? And I get to choose a treasure?'

Hearing Luoyu's words, Li Yang was clearly shaken.

'Left behind by a being who surpassed the Dominator level, and it has inheritances for all twelve law systems?'

'An expert of that caliber is probably among the strongest in the entire Cosmos. What kind of inheritance would such a being leave behind?'

'Setting aside everything else, just ten years of law inheritance that can reduce the difficulty of becoming a Deity... The effect must be unimaginable. And you can get treasures, too? Even a Sacred Artifact has appeared?'

'This is a bit like the Star Moon Stele and the Star Moon Inheritance,' Li Yang thought to himself.

'You can also get treasures from the Star Moon Stele, and the Star Moon Inheritance also helps one comprehend laws.'

Li Yang was intrigued. As for the Deities present, most of them already knew about that super inheritance.

"It's rumored that everyone who enters that super inheritance ground quickly masters one or two law systems."

"The lowest-grade treasure you can get inside is a Divine Artifact."

"That's Luoyu for you. Not only does he have a seven-colored Inheritance Token, he even has a spare."

A clear trace of longing was visible in the eyes of these Deities; none of them had ever been inside.

"This is my first condition."

Luoyu looked at the silent Li Yang and said calmly, "As for the second condition, I will give you a mechanical lifeform with the power of a Tri-System Deity."

'A mechanical lifeform at the level of a Tri-System Deity?'

"A mechanical lifeform of that level is incredibly difficult to create. Even an Emperor Level Artifact Refiner would struggle to make one. Only a Dominator-level Artifact Refiner could possibly succeed."

This condition stunned the many Deities present once again.

"As for the third condition, I will give you a top-tier Divine Artifact."

"Three conditions, in exchange for the Gold-devouring Insect you possess. What do you say?"

Luoyu looked at Li Yang, confident that he would be tempted.

Every item he offered was incomparably rare.

It wasn't just Li Yang; most of the Deities present were indeed tempted.

"An opportunity for the super inheritance on the Slaughter Battlefield, a mechanical lifeform on par with a Tri-System Deity, and a top-tier Divine Artifact... Truly worthy of the Zun Lie Clan. That Luoyu is incredibly wealthy."

"Of course. Luoyu has the most potential among the Zun Lie Clan's current Deities. He might even become the clan's third Emperor! Rumor has it that Zun Lie Venerable himself holds Luoyu in high regard and often personally guides him."

"I wonder if Li Yang will agree?"

"If it were me, I'd accept."

Everyone present was murmuring amongst themselves.

Each and every one of the conditions was incredibly tempting.

Meanwhile, Li Yang was weighing the options in his mind.

'This Luoyu really has a lot of treasures,' Li Yang couldn't help but think.

He was indeed tempted. The top-tier Divine Artifact was one thing, but the first two conditions were things he desperately wanted.

Just then, Soul Ink's voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

"Oh, I remember now," Soul Ink said. "That super inheritance on the Slaughter Battlefield requires a Token to enter. There are seven tiers of Tokens, and the opportunities you receive, as well as the effectiveness of the law inheritance, differ completely depending on the tier."

"Seven tiers of Tokens?"

Hearing this, Li Yang's interest was piqued. He asked, "Soul Ink, does that mean my Token and Luoyu's are different tiers? Which one is higher?"

"Of course, yours is," Soul Ink replied. "For that particular opportunity, the Tokens are tiered from lowest to highest: white, black, yellow, green, blue, red, and purple. Your Token is red, while the one in Luoyu's hand is black. Yours is four tiers higher than his."

"Furthermore, each Token can only be used to enter the super inheritance ground once, and each expert can only enter once as well. Luoyu has definitely been inside before, so the Token he's holding is useless to him."

"So you're saying the Token in Luoyu's hand is completely useless to me," Li Yang said, a thought striking him.

'Since each expert can only enter the super inheritance ground once, I'll obviously use my own higher-tiered red Token.'

'With my red Token, the black one Luoyu is offering is completely useless.'

'Well, it's not *completely* useless, of course. At the very least, it helped me identify another one of the treasures from that black bead!'

'The items left inside that black bead truly are extraordinary.'

Li Yang thought to himself, 'Of the items left over, one is the key to the Thunder Spirit Race's Spirit Pool, and another is an entry key to the inheritance ground left by a being who surpassed the Dominator level!'

'The other treasures must be just as remarkable.'

Three complete treasures from the black bead remained.

A white bead, a purple Crystal Stone, and finally, a small, tower-shaped object.

'What could these three treasures be?'

'Needless to say, these three items must also be extraordinary, but I haven't figured out what they do yet.'

'Dozens of Emperors fell, and even their armor was destroyed, yet these items remained completely unscathed. They must be incredibly rare—perhaps even more precious than the key to the Spirit Pool or the Token for the super inheritance ground!'
