The man stepped aside to lead the way.
"Please come with me."
Just as they were about to enter the main hall, a chilling pressure suddenly enveloped the entire space.
Lu Ming felt as if time and space around him had frozen, and every cell in his body was trembling.
"Come in."
A clear and melodious voice came from inside the hall, penetrating straight to the soul.
On the throne in the main hall, a strange figure with a dragon's head and wings was perched.
Clad in armor with flame patterns, it simply lay there, making one feel as if they were in an endless fiery realm.
In this space and time, it is the supreme ruler.
As Lu Ming looked up at the guardian beast god, the other party was also scrutinizing him.
The black-robed attendant bowed and retreated into the depths of the main hall, leaving the space to Lu Ming and that supreme being.
"Come forward."
The clear, melodious voice rang out again, carrying an undeniable authority.
Lu Ming stepped steadily into the main hall, where he saw a majestic figure with a dragon's head and wings perched on the towering throne.
Clad in fiery armor, it merely lay there, and the entire hall seemed to transform into an endless domain of fire. In this space and time, it was the all-powerful ruler, able to decide life and death with a single thought.
"Guardian Beast God..."
Lu Ming understood.
"This must be a beast god who has cultivated the 'Way of Fire and Void' to perfection and become the master of the universe."
"From this moment on, you are the official successor of Purple Thorn Island."
A slightly high-pitched yet soul-piercing voice emanated from the dragon's head.
"First, I grant you access to the 'World of Glory'."
Before he finished speaking, an object resembling a quantum computer appeared out of thin air and flew lightly to Lu Ming's front.
"This is a sensor terminal for the virtual world. The Glory World is a virtual space created by my Ancestral God Cult. Although it is not as vast as your human virtual universe, its core functions are sufficient for the inheritors. You will know its specific uses after you log in."
Chapter 66 Glory World
Lu Ming respectfully accepted the receiver that was shimmering with light.
"At the same time, I grant you access to the 'Land of Inheritance,' the 'Land of Treasure,' and the 'Land of Secrets.'"
The guardian beast god continued.
"Can you see those three water curtains outside the hall?"
Lu Ming nodded.
"Those are three teleportation channels. Without my authorization, you cannot enter them at all."
The guardian beast god explained.
"The water curtain on the left leads to the land of inheritance, the middle leads to the land of treasure, and the right connects to the land of secrets."
"Three water curtains lead to three important locations."
"The Land of Inheritance is where you receive the inheritance of the Beast God and test your understanding of the laws."
"The Treasure Land contains countless treasures left behind by the Beast Gods, Guardian Beast Gods, and other super-powerful beings of all ages. It is filled with a vast amount of precious items, and each predecessor has set a unique test. Only those who fully meet the requirements can take away the corresponding treasure."
"The Secret Realm leads to the depths of the Ancestral Mystic Realm. It is the most mysterious realm in the universe, nurturing the most unique life forms and hiding countless treasures of heaven and earth—from natural materials to the most precious and supreme treasures born from the universe. But remember, the Ancestral Mystic Realm is also the most dangerous place. Although the teleportation channel spares you from the dangers of the outside world, the rarer the treasure, the more terrifying the danger. Even cosmic venerables may perish, and even cosmic masters may be trapped. If you decide to explore the Secret Realm, be sure to make thorough preparations."
"The Land of Inheritance, the Land of Treasures, the Land of Secrets, and the World of Glory—these four places are all you need to familiarize yourself with on Purple Thorn Island."
"Now, go and build your dwelling, and then go to the Land of Inheritance to receive your first inheritance."
The guardian beast god looked down from his throne, his voice carrying an undeniable majesty: "Go."
"I will obey the island lord's command."
Lu Ming bowed respectfully and slowly withdrew from the main hall.
After leaving the island lord's palace, Lu Ming flew straight to the area he had previously designated.
He planned to build his mansion in the style of the Jiangnan gardens on Earth from his past life, which was his last longing for his hometown deep in his heart.
Of course, the mansion on Zijing Island can only occupy one kilometer, far smaller than I remember, but preserving that atmosphere is enough.
In a short while, an elegant Chinese courtyard was built in his inner world and then directly moved to the Bauhinia Island.
Looking at the white walls, green tiles, and upturned eaves of the mansion before him, Lu Ming nodded in satisfaction: "Fenkong Residence is complete."
Above the main gate of the mansion hangs a black plaque with gold characters, inscribed with the words "Burning the Sky" in a flamboyant and elegant style.
This was formed by him using the power of the fundamental laws, and it contains his understanding of the Way of Fire and Void.
After settling into his lodgings, Lu Ming did not rush to the place of inheritance. Instead, he walked into the depths of the courtyard and sat down cross-legged in a pavilion by the water.
Consciousness connected to the virtual space called "Glory World" through the sensors bestowed by the Guardian Beast God.
In the world of glory, at the edge of the open-air plaza, a figure quietly appeared, holding a black tome in his hands.
This book is actually a user guide for the world of Glory.
Lu Ming turned to the first page and saw the word "Name" written in the universal language, with blank space after it.
"Please fill in your title in the world of Glory."
A voice sounded in his mind.
Lu Ming pondered for a moment, then responded in his mind: "Burning Void".
After confirming his nickname, he turned to the second page. This page displayed a map of the Glory World, and at the same time, a narration echoed in his mind: "The Glory World is divided into two areas: the Glory Open-Air Plaza and the Battle World. As long as you are within the Ancestral Mystic Realm, you can connect to the Glory World."
Compared to the virtual universe of humankind, this world of glory is not only limited in scope but also quite rudimentary in function.
Lu Ming looked up and saw that the entire square was actually an open-air tavern, with all kinds of fine wines and delicacies displayed in the center for the inheritors to take as they pleased.
The square is densely packed with countless seats, and at a glance, it appears that tens of millions of inheritors have gathered here.
He had barely appeared when he heard a delighted voice transmission: "Fenkong! I didn't expect you to come too!"
A figure in blue swept towards him like the wind; it was a werewolf with a genuine smile in its eyes.
Lu Ming looked at the newcomer and smiled, "Chasing Wind."
King Chaser, a peerless genius of the werewolf clan, is an invincible powerhouse known for his speed. He met Lu Ming when they were in Hongmeng City.
We can be considered friends.
"Let's go, let's go, all of us from the Hongmeng are over there."
King Chaser enthusiastically pointed into the distance.
"The others are all groups from various alliances."
Lu Ming followed with a smile, heading towards the area where Hongmeng was located.
If you want to learn more about the Ancestral God Sect, going through the Hongmeng is naturally the best option.
A moment later, they arrived at a corner of the square.
"This is our territory."
"Chasing Wind King laughed."
Looking around, Lu Ming saw about a thousand powerful figures gathered here. Judging from their appearance, they were indeed members of various races commonly found in the Hong Alliance.
"Burning the Sky!"
"Brother Fenkong!"
Upon seeing Lu Ming appear, several powerful figures in the crowd immediately greeted him with smiles; they were all his friends whom he had made in Hongmeng City.
Lu Ming's name is now known to everyone among the human race who are crowned kings.
That level of massacre.
Historically, only Lu Ming has done this.
Sitting around a table with several friends, sipping fine wine, Lu Ming hadn't even spoken when the Wind Chaser King asked curiously, "Fen Kong, I remember you were just a Realm Lord, how did you have the opportunity to come to the Ancestral God Sect to receive the inheritance? With your strength at the time, it shouldn't have been enough for the clan to bestow an inheritance token, right?"
Although he knew this guy was straightforward and meant no harm, Lu Ming couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly: "What you're saying..."
The Beast God's Legacy Token is as valuable as a priceless treasure, and most of the immortal kings present obtained it through gifts from their clans.
However, the number of inheritance tokens is limited, and they are usually only granted to those geniuses with the most outstanding talents or the strongest backgrounds.
It's understandable that Chasing Wind King would have this question.
Lu Ming pondered for a moment, then explained with a smile, "This inheritance token was bestowed upon me by my clan."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire small circle fell silent for a moment.
King Chasing Wind nearly spat out the wine he had just taken a sip of, his eyes widening: "Wait! What did you say? A gift from the clan? You, a realm lord?"
A burly Rock Clan King standing nearby slammed his fist on the table and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Chasing Wind, your information is way behind the times! Brother Burning Sky is now the renowned 'Burning Sky King' who is famous throughout the outer battlefields!"
"What king?"
King Chaser looked completely bewildered.
"What happened outside?"
A female Elven King covered her mouth and chuckled: "Chasing Wind, you've truly been isolated from the world for far too long. Brother Burning Sky single-handedly slaughtered over a hundred Kings on the outer battlefield, including several at the peak of their power!"
Chapter 67 Planning
The wine cup in the Wind Chaser's hand clattered onto the table, spilling wine all over the floor. He gaped, his voice fading after a long pause: "Hundreds...hundreds of kings? Are you sure you're talking about this seemingly harmless fellow?"
Lu Ming shrugged helplessly: "Isn't the phrase 'harmless' a bit inaccurate?"
"More than inaccurate!"
The Wind Chaser King suddenly stood up and circled Lu Ming twice.
