Above the gray fog

Feeling the gazes of the crowd.

Lex also became a little unconfident.

"Let's look at the memory first, it's safer." Lex said.

Adolf stretched out his bony hand to touch the bubble that wrapped the memory.

The bubble gradually grew larger and floated above the crowd.

After a series of bizarre changes, the picture inside the bubble became clear.

The picture showed a dark space.

Some stone structures floated in the air.

The picture zoomed in, and it could be seen that under the floating structures were gray walls.

The walls were covered with unrecognizable pictures and texts, like some lost language.

The overall style of this building was like some kind of ruins of civilization, but not completely.

Some relatively intact but unrecognizable structures could be vaguely seen.

The light jumped in the air, and time and space showed a strange sense of flow.

In the ruins, Julian stood in the center of a light source.

Directly in front of Julian, an illusory shadow floated.

Its shape was unclear, like a constantly changing outline.

Sometimes it takes on a human form, but without facial features, and sometimes it turns into a mass of flowing black gas that could dissipate at any time.

Behind the shadow, there lies a coffin-like square box, its surface rough and carved from ancient rock.

There are countless interlaced hoses inserted on the square box, and those pipes are still slowly creeping, as if they are transporting something into the square box.

The existence of the square box makes the surrounding space seem a little distorted, as if some invisible force is quietly exerting pressure.

"Julian... You have passed the test and obtained... the qualification for inheritance."

The voice of the shadow is intermittent, as if it comes from an old radio.

The tone is sometimes fuzzy, sometimes clear, and every word seems to be distorted by some interference, with a mechanical hoarseness.

Julian was slightly stunned and asked in a low voice, "Is it me who passed? What about Gerald?"

"Julian, the road to heaven is a road that becomes narrower and narrower, and it can't accommodate too many people."

"Not everyone can take this road."

"Even if you are willing to give up this opportunity, Pool Gerald is not qualified to take this road, regardless of talent."

The shadow's voice gradually became cold, but with an indisputable sense of fate.

Julian was silent for a moment, then nodded, "I understand."

"Very good." The shadow's voice was slightly gentler, "Before you accept the inheritance, you need to know something, listen carefully."

Then, the shadow suddenly became dark, and the tone became more vague, with an elusive noise.

Lin Shan and others in the outside world could only hear vague syllables and broken words.

Just when everyone thought they would get nothing, the chaotic sound of the voice suddenly became clear.

"Our heritage originated from the Tianming Temple. The Tianming Temple was originally established by an unbalanced person. That unbalanced person left a legacy before he died. My generation is the 109th generation. Like other generations before me, I have accumulated strength in the birth and death of countless civilizations. Finally, I waited for you. You will be the 109th generation of the Origin Temple."

"What is the purpose of the unbalanced person leaving the legacy?"

Hearing this, Julian was a little uneasy.

"I was just like you at first. I was very worried and didn't understand the purpose of such an inheritance. I found the answer when I was promoted to an immortal. You are very lucky. I will tell you the answer directly."

"Inheritance has different names in different eras. Now it is also called Taoism."

"Compare the unbalanced to a big tree. Taoism or inheritance is the root of this big tree. The deeper the root, the more luxuriant the tree will be."

"For the unbalanced, we are inheritors on the surface, but in fact we are just sections of rhizomes that are used. Although I think all this is more like a fair trade in which each party gets what it needs, the unbalanced is always the 'big tree' that blesses us. Respect and even faith are necessary. We can be disdainful in words, but not in our hearts. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Julian thought thoughtfully.

Then he asked, "There are 108 generations before me. If any generation dies before finding the next generation, does it mean that the inheritance is broken? Or does the unbalanced person have a way to keep the inheritance going?"

Hearing Julian's question, the four people who were watching the memory all perked up.

Julian's disordered heart core is in their hands, which proves that Julian is dead and cannot die anymore.

"I am the 108th generation, but there are more than you in the 109th generation, and I will not be the only one in the 108th generation. Some of the 108th generation may be indescribable, and some of the 108th generation have achieved immortality. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Don't underestimate any inheritance. This is the only shortcut in the world that can squeeze into the road to heaven. After embarking on this road, you can't get any help from the inheritance except my help."

Julian thought for a moment and asked, "Is Tianming Temple the name of a force?"

"We were also powerful at first, but we were broken up by the enemy, and all of us drifted to various places in the void." Shadow said lightly, "None of this matters."

"Some birds live in a vast sky. Although the group is large, they fly independently and keep a distance from each other. They only get together briefly when they occasionally intersect."

When Julian looked slightly startled, he was dismissed?

After Julian calmed down, Shadow continued to add.

"I just said that accepting inheritance is the only shortcut in the world that can squeeze into the road to heaven. Since it is a shortcut, it must be accompanied by some negative effects, and people who take shortcuts will naturally be punished. This is understandable."

"What are the negative effects?" Julian looked at the shadow.

"The unbalanced person who creates the inheritance is the big tree. We are all the roots responsible for transporting nutrients. If the big tree above withers one day, we will also die with it." Shadow said calmly, "You have to be mentally prepared. ”

Julian took a deep breath, "What does wither mean?"

"If it can no longer grow and improve, it will not truly die."

Hearing this, Julian breathed a sigh of relief, it was not the worst case scenario.

"Are you ready?" Shadow asked.

"Ready." Julian nodded without hesitation.

The shadow's voice sounded again, "Remember, the power of inheritance is by no means an unconditional gift. Next, you will face the unbalanced one. Only after you get his permission can you start the real inheritance."

Its tone was light, "Relax, it's just a formality."

As the last word fell, a strange light suddenly flashed across Julian's body. This light was pure and blazing, like the dawn of dawn, and quickly enveloped his entire body.

After more than ten seconds, the light began to slowly dissipate.

"He recognizes you. Congratulations to you, the 109th generation inheritor of the Temple of Origin."
