From the Metropolis to the Strongest in the Cosmos

Li Yang looked at the message from the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall, then turned to Hei Xu beside him and asked, ”Mr. Hei Xu, do you know anything about this Star Moon Race’s land of inheritance?”

The Cosmos is vast, with countless races. This was the first time he had ever heard the name ”Star Moon Race.”

Hei Xu smiled and said, ”I know a little. The Star Moon Race is similar to the Fire Nether Divine Beast clan; they are also an Alien Race living within the territory of our Human Race.”

Li Yang said nothing, listening quietly.

”Li Yang, that Celestial Net you killed before—didn’t he obtain a legacy opportunity that would have guaranteed he’d become a Dual Pantheon Deity in the future?”

Li Yang nodded. Speaking of which, the opportunity Celestial Net had obtained was immense.

Even if his future strength was set in stone, less than half of the three thousand geniuses recruited by the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall in their batch were guaranteed to reach the level of a Dual Pantheon.

Hei Xu smiled and said, ”The Star Moon Race’s path of inheritance is similar to the legacy Celestial Net obtained, but with a few differences. For example, even if you enter the path of inheritance, you aren’t guaranteed to break through to the level of Deities. However, its effect is similar to the path Celestial Net found—it’s equivalent to having the Laws directly infused into your mind.”

Until now, Li Yang had always comprehended the Laws on his own. A path of inheritance, however, infused pre-prepared Laws into one’s mind.

One could only imagine how powerful such an effect was!

Hei Xu said, ”This Star Moon Race’s path of inheritance is a Four-Element Laws path of inheritance. It includes Space Law, Time Law, Thunder Law, and Fire Element Law. If one can completely receive the Star Moon Race’s path of inheritance, they are guaranteed to become a powerful Four-Element Deity in the future.”

”Oh? Space Law, Time Law, Thunder Law, and Fire Element Law?” Hearing this, Li Yang’s heart skipped a beat.

”Haha, Li Yang, even though it’s a Four-Element Laws path of inheritance and you’ve only comprehended three of them, it won’t affect you at all. You can just skip the Time Law and only accept the inheritance for the Space, Thunder, and Fire Element Laws,” Hei Xu said with a laugh.

Li Yang smiled but didn’t say anything.

Inwardly, however, he thought, ’This is too much of a coincidence.’

The four Laws he had comprehended were precisely these four.

The Star Moon Race’s land of inheritance was a perfect match for him.

After speaking about the path of inheritance, Hei Xu added with a smile, ”As for the Star Moon Race, besides the Four-Element Laws path of inheritance, they have two other major opportunities.”

”Oh? And what are the other two?” Li Yang asked curiously upon hearing this.

Hei Xu said, ”The Star Moon Inheritance, the Star Moon Stele, and the Star Moon Fruit. These are the three most famous opportunities of the Star Moon Race.”

”We’ve already talked about the Star Moon Inheritance. The Star Moon Fruit is a fruit that grows on the Star Moon Race’s Saint Tree. It’s rumored to be able to calm one’s mind, allowing a person to focus completely on comprehending the Laws.”

Li Yang nodded. When comprehending Laws, being impatient or restless was the biggest taboo. Comprehending Laws in such a state would likely yield poor results. If one was in a good state of mind, comprehending Laws would naturally be easier.

”It can even help break through major bottlenecks!” Hei Xu added with a sigh of admiration.

”Break through major bottlenecks?” Hearing this, Li Yang’s interest was piqued. He asked, ”Can it even help break through the bottleneck between the World Realm and the Divine Realm?”

Some treasures within the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall also helped with breaking bottlenecks, and Li Yang had even redeemed a few.

But there were none that helped one break through to the Divine Realm.

Hei Xu laughed. ”That’s not entirely clear. When going from the Peak of World Realm to the Divine Realm, it’s hard to say whether the breakthrough is due to the fruit or one’s own efforts. However, what is certain is that the Star Moon Fruit does provide a sliver of benefit for breaking through major bottlenecks. Some of our Human Race’s experts occasionally travel to the Star Moon Race to trade for Star Moon Fruits.”

At this point, Li Yang was clearly tempted. He asked again, ”Then what about the third opportunity, the Star Moon Stele?”

”As for the Star Moon Stele...”

Hei Xu explained, ”The Star Moon Stele is a stone monument that the Star Moon Race uses to test Talent. The stele itself contains all sorts of treasures—powerful Cultivation Techniques, Divine Weapons, and more. Rumor has it that not even the Star Moon Race knows exactly how many treasures are inside!”

”The Star Moon Race doesn’t know either?” Li Yang was stunned for a moment.

’Doesn’t it belong to the Star Moon Race?’

Hei Xu chuckled. ”Legend says that the Star Moon Stele was obtained by the Star Moon Race’s most powerful being from some unknown place. It has been kept within the race ever since. The stele itself cannot be opened. The only way to get the treasures inside is to have your Talent tested.”

”The stronger your Talent, the more precious the treasure that might emerge. Because of this, the Star Moon Race isn’t reclusive; they’re very open.”

”They are not part of the Human Race, but they welcome members of the Human Race to visit. For a certain fee, anyone can have their Talent tested by the Star Moon Stele. Any treasure you obtain, you can take with you. However, if it’s something the Star Moon Race needs, you must give it to them, though they are willing to trade for it.”

At this point, Hei Xu paused for a moment before adding, ”Furthermore, the Star Moon Stele specifically tests for Talent in Space Law, Time Law, Fire Element Law, and Thunder Law.”

He looked at Li Yang and said with a smile, ”When you go, Li Yang, you should definitely get your Talent tested and see what treasure you can get from the stele. With your powerful Talent in the three Laws of Space, Thunder, and Fire Element, you should be able to get a powerful Cultivation Technique at the very least.”

”Uh... it tests Talent in four Laws?” Li Yang paused, taken aback.

”The path of inheritance is for Four-Element Laws, and the Star Moon Stele also involves Four-Element Laws. Is there a connection?” Li Yang asked, puzzled.

Hei Xu nodded. ”The Star Moon Race’s land of inheritance was obtained along with the Star Moon Stele. The race relied on them to gradually grow and develop.”

”Moreover, and perhaps this is due to the imperceptible influence of the Star Moon Stele, many people in the Star Moon Race are born with Talent in the four Laws of Space, Time, Thunder, and Fire Element. Of course, while they have this Talent, it’s not particularly strong—not much different from our Human Race.”

The Fire Nether Divine Beasts are born with an innate understanding of the Fire Element Law; as long as they mature normally, they will become Fire Deities.

As for the Star Moon Race, many are also born with Talent in the four Laws of Space, Time, Thunder, and Fire Element, but this Talent isn’t very strong in any of them. Becoming Deities is still incredibly difficult for them.

Hearing all this, Li Yang remarked, ”That Star Moon Stele really is something special.”

He was now also interested in the Star Moon Stele. His own Talent in the Laws was a perfect match for it. He wondered... what kind of treasure could he get from the Star Moon Stele?

With this in mind, Li Yang asked, ”Mr. Hei Xu, where is this Star Moon Race located?”

Hei Xu smiled and replied, ”They are within the Red Fire Star Continent, which is adjacent to the Yangyuan Star Continent. The territory they occupy is about the same size as the Fire Nether Divine Beast clan’s, also located in a self-created pocket space.”

Li Yang asked curiously, ”Is the Star Moon Race’s strength about the same as the Fire Nether Divine Beast clan’s?”

The strongest of the Fire Nether Divine Beasts is an Emperor, and they are a vassal race of the Human Race.

Hei Xu said, ”In terms of strength, the Star Moon Race far surpasses the Fire Nether Divine Beast clan. Their strongest member is a Dominator.”

”What?”

Hearing this, a flicker of shock appeared in Li Yang’s eyes.

”A Dominator?”

’The Star Moon Race actually has a Dominator-level expert!’

’And a race with such a powerful expert is also a vassal of the Human Race?’
