“Alright.” Without wasting words, Luo Feng maintained high speed and turned into a streak of light. After making a turn, ahead appeared a massive, exquisitely crafted gate. The gate was a mixture of golden and cyan hues, exuding an aura of nobility that made countless beings feel its towering majesty, causing hesitation and unease in their hearts to dare enter.
Luo Feng and the Sovereign of Lichong both had extremely firm wills. Almost simultaneously, they pushed on the gate.
Boom!
The gate opened.
“The control room!” As they pushed inside, a vast and magnificent hall lay before them. On the hall’s floor were many ornaments, and more were hanging on the walls.
Boom!
As Luo Feng entered, without hesitation, his divine body shot out countless threads of divine power, wildly rushing in all directions across the hall. His eyes burned with a touch of madness. Although Luo Feng couldn’t identify the control core, he knew the interior of the Mausoleum Ship was extremely safe, free from any external environmental damage. Therefore, he could imprint all items with his life mark and verify them all at once!
“I don’t need to know which one is the control core because I will attempt to claim ownership of everything.” Luo Feng looked toward the Sovereign of Lichong nearby.
After entering, the Sovereign of Lichong was trying to identify which was the control core.
Suddenly seeing Luo Feng wildly dispersing countless divine threads, he exclaimed in surprise, “Galactic Lord, what are you doing wildly dispersing your divine power like this?”
“What do you think?” Luo Feng smiled, “My knowledge doesn’t match yours, Sovereign of Lichong. I can only use this clumsy method.”
“This is the Mausoleum Ship. Do you think imprinting a life mark is the only way to claim ownership? Do you think it’s that simple?” The Sovereign of Lichong mocked with a laugh, “Ha ha, I didn’t tell you earlier the real way to claim the control core!”
Luo Feng’s expression slightly changed.
That’s right.
Even claiming ownership of top-grade treasures was complicated. The Mausoleum Ship’s control core was likely similarly complex.
“Do you know why I recruited you? Besides the two reasons I mentioned earlier, the third reason is… those from the first cycle era had broader knowledge. Perhaps among them, someone knew the true method of claiming the control core.” The Sovereign of Lichong mocked, “They are my biggest enemies! Come on, if you have the ability, find the control core and claim it. I won’t interfere.”
While speaking, the Sovereign of Lichong was rapidly inspecting the area.
“Indeed, he’s hiding another trick.” Luo Feng thought inwardly, this situation was somewhat expected.
“If it’s difficult to find, then…” Luo Feng quickly made a decision, focusing most of his attention on the Sovereign of Lichong, carefully observing his expressions, etc., to determine the target.
The Sovereign of Lichong wore a mocking smile, leisurely searching for the control core. Soon, he had checked everything in the entire control chamber, causing his expression to slightly change. He then examined every single item in the hall in more detail, finally his expression changed drastically.
“How is this possible!”
“How can there be nothing!”
“The control core, how can it not be in the control chamber? Impossible!” The Sovereign of Lichong showed a hint of anger, as if his many schemes had instantly turned to nothing, making him very distressed.
After all, the value of the Mausoleum Ship was nearly equivalent to a top-grade treasure.
Its indestructibility alone made it second only to palace-type top-grade treasures… and it could enter the mausoleum. Even for the Sovereign of Lichong… throughout endless eons, the treasures better than the Mausoleum Ship he had obtained were only one—the Lichong Divine Armor. A Mausoleum Ship that was about to be obtained suddenly vanished… how could he not be furious?
“Sovereign of Lichong, you must have miscalculated.” Luo Feng softly laughed, “Perhaps the control core is not in the control chamber.”
“What do you know!” The Sovereign of Lichong sneered coldly, “The control chamber is the dwelling place of the Mausoleum Ship’s master. The ancient powerful civilization maintained rigid hierarchical structures. The control chamber is the master’s exclusive domain, radiating an aura of nobility—no other powerful being would dare trespass. You could discern that from the gate of the previous hall… Moreover, the control core has always been positioned within the control chamber. That is the established tradition!”
“Convention? How many Mausoleum Ships have you even seen?” Luo Feng shook his head with a smile.
Suddenly—
“Hmm?” Luo Feng’s expression slightly changed as he turned to look at the hall’s door far behind.
The Sovereign of Lichong also turned to look.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Four streaks of light almost simultaneously rushed through the hall’s door.
“Hmph.” The Sovereign of Lichong’s expression changed.
“Hahaha, Sovereign of Lichong, you tried to block us, but this is a huge ship with many passages. There’s more than one way to reach the core chamber.” The Haili Sovereign of the Hae Clan sneered mockingly.
“And judging by the look of things, the Sovereign of Lichong hasn’t yet obtained the control core.” The Wuliang Sovereign said.
“Quickly search.” The Ying’ai Sovereign said.
The Liujue Sovereign said nothing but quickly began searching for the control core.
“Hmph.” The Wuliang Sovereign snorted coldly, suddenly swinging his arm fiercely. Instantly, countless droplets of golden blood splattered into the air, each droplet landing on every component of the entire hall.
“The Divine Eye Clan… indeed worthy of the Divine Eye Clan, knowing such a verification method.” The Sovereign of Lichong scoffed.
“Do you think only your Sacred Universe knows such methods?” The Wuliang Sovereign sneered, but then his expression suddenly changed, “Why isn’t there anything?”
The Divine Eye Clan was indeed the most powerful force among the three cycle eras, nearly on par with the two Sacred Universes. Though weaker at the Cosmic Sovereign level, they surpassed the two Sacred Universes at the level of the strongest cosmic beings. The information gathered by the Divine Eye Clan over nearly three cycle eras was indeed abundant, and their knowledge was extensive.
This blood droplet method was one way to verify the control core.
Once verified, one could attempt to claim ownership, which was more complicated.
“There’s nothing! No control core!” The Ying’ai Sovereign also showed surprise, “How is this possible?”
“Did you, Sovereign of Lichong, obtain it?” The Haili Sovereign of the Hae Clan’s eyes burned with a frenzied flame.
“If I had obtained it, would I still be standing here like a fool?” The Sovereign of Lichong sneered.
“That’s strange.”
“How can there be no control core?”
The six powerful beings stood scattered within the hall, all suddenly filled with confusion.
“Boom~~~” Suddenly, an invisible energy descended.
The Sovereign of Lichong, Luo Feng, the Ying’ai Sovereign, the Wuliang Sovereign, the Haili Sovereign, and the Liujue Sovereign all simultaneously turned their heads toward the front, where atop the entire control chamber hall sat an ancient throne. At this moment, the invisible energy gathered at the throne, gradually forming a vague figure, which finally became clear.
This was a seemingly ordinary human male.
Two eyes, one nose, one mouth… two hands, two legs, black eyes, yellow skin, and hair with a cyan hue.
“Very human-like.”
“Also resembles the most ordinary members of the Purple Moon Sacred Ground.”
“Not the slightest bit of oppressive power…”
The six of them, Luo Feng and the others, stared in shock at that vague figure.
The cyan-haired human male sitting high on the throne wore simple armor adorned with flowing patterns. At first glance, the armor seemed like an endless, surging river. He looked down coldly at those below and spoke, “I am named… Dandonghe·Wu!”
This startled Luo Feng and the others.
“Wu? Wu is an extremely noble title in that ancient civilization. To have ‘Wu’ in one’s name indicates a person of great status.” The Ying’ai Sovereign said solemnly.
“You know a little, but only a little. Perhaps it would be better if you stayed silent, lest the mighty ones of the ancient civilization laugh at you.” The Sovereign of Lichong sneered, casting a glance at him.
“Hmph.” The Ying’ai Sovereign coldly returned the Sovereign of Lichong’s gaze.
The cyan-haired human male on the throne seemed oblivious to the situation below and continued coldly, “Descendants of the endless cycle eras, when you see me, I have already perished countless cycles ago. Back then, I followed the general on this ultimate adventure, knowing full well that survival was unlikely.”
“Indeed…”
“This path is the most difficult. Even with the mightiest ships and the bravest warriors, we still failed.”
“Anticipating failure, I did not wish to let my lineage perish.”
“I, Dandonghe·Wu, am the 192nd Dandonghe, the sole heir… generation after generation of ancestors, all fell in battle. By my time, the lineage had already endured for an unknown duration. If I die… my lineage shall end. I would have failed my ancestors. This Mausoleum Ship has been modified by me, unlike ordinary Mausoleum Ships. Within this Mausoleum Ship… there are additional perilous and inheritance areas.”
“I may die.”
“But the inheritance of the Dandonghe lineage must never be lost!”
“If you feel fear, you may leave now. Otherwise, once you embark on this path, the dangers will only increase! Especially at the end… when you come into contact with the true inheritance of our Dandonghe lineage, only those who accept the inheritance will survive, or perhaps none will succeed, and all will perish!”
“The earlier you leave, the safer you will be. The later you leave, especially if you touch even a bit of the inheritance… for any other beings outside the Dandonghe lineage who dare covet my lineage’s inheritance, death awaits!”
“Choose, descendants.”
The voice faded, and the figure on the throne also vanished.
For a moment, the entire hall became oppressive, with the six present showing various emotions—madness, excitement, worry, and more.
Inheritance!
True inheritance!
Why are the Seven Great Lords of the Divine Eye Clan so powerful? Because the Divine Eye Clan once obtained a complete inheritance from ancient ruins, allowing the Seven Great Lords to unleash immense power when they unite… Therefore, in the Cosmic Sea, the most precious treasure is undoubtedly such a complete inheritance that allows cultivation from the lowest to the highest levels!
And this inheritance…
Is it the inheritance of the Dandonghe lineage?
Judging from the name, the Dandonghe lineage should have been an extremely powerful lineage within the ancient civilization, with only one heir per generation. Having ‘Wu’ in one’s name… even being able to modify a Mausoleum Ship, and judging by his tone, he followed a general on this journey. So, who was this general? Perhaps the general was the commander of the Cosmic Ship, holding an extremely high status.
Clearly—
The inheritance of the Dandonghe lineage is extremely valuable.
This Dandonghe lineage member, even in death, insisted on leaving behind the inheritance! An ancient inheritance that has endured for countless generations… likely, the ancestors of this Dandonghe lineage were even stronger than the current heir. Therefore, one cannot judge the value of the inheritance solely based on the strength of this Dandonghe·Wu. Perhaps the inheritance contains deeper secrets, but this Dandonghe heir simply hadn’t cultivated to that level.
Regardless…
The inheritance of the Dandonghe lineage is undoubtedly the most precious inheritance.
But once one embarks on this path, the consequences are terrifying.
Once one touches even a bit of the inheritance…
“Either fully inherit it, or die!”
