From the Metropolis to the Strongest in the Cosmos

Hearing Soul Ink’s words, Li Yang smiled and didn’t say anything more. To be honest, all of his opportunities had clearly come from the mysterious little sword in his mind.

The Sacred Artifact, the Profound Annihilation Spear, had been detected by the mysterious little sword.

As for the Star Moon Stele test, he had cultivated the technique from within the mysterious little sword, giving him four heaven-defying avatars. Only then was he able to light up the stele’s purple glow and obtain the fragmented part of the Sacred Artifact, the Sword Net Array.

After studying the Black Moon Blade for a moment, Li Yang put it away and entered the Virtual World again.

”Li Yang, how did it go?” the Blade Slaughter Sect Master asked with a smile.

”Teacher, the Star Moon Race has agreed to the three conditions...” Li Yang quickly recounted the events.

The Blade Slaughter Sect Master nodded. ”Those three conditions are very reasonable. The value of the final part of the Sword Net Array is well worth them.”

After he finished, the Blade Slaughter Sect Master changed the subject. ”Li Yang, since you possess Talent for the Time Law, the Star Moon Race’s Land of Inheritance is a perfect match for you. But after three continuous years of inheritance, your soul is bound to feel exhausted.”

Receiving an inheritance is not so easy. If one’s strength is too weak, they can’t even accept much of it.

It’s like having a vast amount of knowledge crammed into your brain all at once. If your foundation is too poor, you probably won’t be able to absorb much of it.

”I know you exchanged for some Soul Sun Fruits. I suggest you use all of them during these three years.”

The soul is the essence of a person, and treasures that affect the soul are incredibly rare and scarce. Every single one is extremely precious.

The Soul Sun Fruit is one such treasure that can keep the soul at its peak and the mind in a constant state of excitement. Under these conditions, the efficiency of receiving the inheritance will be much higher.

Li Yang had previously received one hundred million contribution points from the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall and had exchanged for several of them. Each one cost tens of thousands of contribution points, a truly exorbitant price.

”Don’t be reluctant to use them. The better the state of your soul, the better the effect of the inheritance,” the Blade Slaughter Sect Master said with a smile.

”I understand, Teacher.” Li Yang nodded upon hearing his teacher’s advice.

...

After speaking with the Blade Slaughter Sect Master in the Virtual World for a while, Li Yang logged out.

「Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.」

”Li Yang, let me take you to the Land of Inheritance,” Elder Lie Shu said, looking at Li Yang.

”Alright.”

Li Yang nodded, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

’I’m finally about to enter the Land of Inheritance.’

Accompanied by Elder Lie Shu, he walked toward the Land of Inheritance.

This time, on the way, they encountered many members of the Star Moon Race. With the Star Moon Stele test over, these clan members had naturally all returned.

”Look, it’s the human, Li Yang!”

”I just got the news. The Land of Inheritance will be opened for three years straight, and our inheritance competition has been canceled.”

”Damn it! We waited so long for this chance, and now the human Li Yang has taken the entire inheritance opportunity. If we want another chance, we’ll have to wait another four billion years. Most of us will be long gone in four billion years.”

”The elders said it’s because of the longsword Li Yang obtained from the Star Moon Stele. The clan desperately needs it, so they gave him such a long inheritance opportunity.”

”It’s also our fault for being useless. If our Talent was stronger and we had drawn out that longsword before him, then the human Li Yang would never have gotten this opportunity.”

...

The members of the Star Moon Race looked at Li Yang, unable to resist discussing him through voice transmissions.

They clenched their fists, feeling indignant.

However, no matter how indignant they felt, the Star Moon Race members could only suppress it and resolve to cultivate even harder!

The Star Moon Race was quite good in this regard, converting feelings of frustration and indignation into motivation for the entire clan to cultivate, encouraging its members to work harder.

”Li Yang...”

At that moment, in a corner of the crowd, Lan Ruo, Lan Xin, and the others were also watching.

Lan Xin asked curiously, ”Lily, is Li Yang really going to enter your clan’s Land of Inheritance for three years?”

”Mhm.” The young Star Moon woman, Lisang, nodded. ”The longsword Li Yang obtained from the Star Moon Stele is very precious. This time, not only will he be able to stay in the Land of Inheritance for three years, but my clan will also give him one hundred million contribution points.”

Her status must be quite special, as she knew a lot of information.

”One hundred million contribution points?”

Nearby, Lan Ruo overheard this. Her eyes shifted as she asked, ”Lisang, can your Star Moon Race’s Star Moon Fruits also be exchanged with contribution points?”

”Yes.”

Lisang nodded. ”Within the Star Moon Race, one Star Moon Fruit costs one million contribution points to exchange for.”

Hearing this, Lan Ruo’s eyes filled with shock.

”Does that mean Li Yang’s one hundred million contribution points can be exchanged for one hundred Star Moon Fruits?”

They had come this time hoping to obtain just a single Star Moon Fruit, and they would have been satisfied. But now, that plan had completely failed.

And Li Yang, if he wanted, could directly get one hundred Star Moon Fruits!

What did that even imply?

Knowing this, Lan Ruo’s eyes once again filled with immense regret.

’So many Star Moon Fruits... If only I had befriended Li Yang earlier...’

Her sister had gone to invite Li Yang, but she had called her sister, Lan Xin, right back.

If she had shared her sister’s attitude back then and enthusiastically invited Li Yang to join their team...

...even if Li Yang didn’t need her help, they probably could have become friends.

With so many Star Moon Fruits, she would have had a perfect opportunity to borrow one from Li Yang, or even trade for one... But she had made a complete mess of things earlier.

Lan Ruo thought with regret, ’No, I have to find a way to get a Star Moon Fruit. Uncle Aokan is just a hair’s breadth away from the Divine Realm. His bottleneck is already loosening. If he had a Star Moon Fruit, his chances of breaking through to become a Deity would increase dramatically. I’ll just wait for three years...’

For the Lanling Clan, whose strength had plummeted, the significance of gaining another Deity was immense.

She hadn’t given up on the idea of obtaining a Star Moon Fruit.

’But what do I have that Li Yang might need?’ Lan Ruo wondered. With a wave of her right hand, several items from her Spatial Ring appeared.

Lan Ruo took stock of her belongings. Even if she were to trade with Li Yang, she didn’t seem to have any particularly precious treasures.

She didn’t notice that after she took the items out, a faint fluctuation seemed to emanate for a moment before vanishing.

...

This was a colossal palace. Outside, an old man sat cross-legged, guarding the entrance.

’So this is the area where the Star Moon Race’s Land of Inheritance is located?’ Li Yang thought as he arrived, his gaze fixed on the palace before him.

Meanwhile, Elder Lie Shu turned to the old man and said respectfully, ”Elder Dan Xuan, this is the human, Li Yang. According to the clan’s decision, he will be staying in the Land of Inheritance for three years.”

Li Yang also looked at the old man. He didn’t seem to have reached the Emperor Level, but seeing how respectful Elder Lie Shu was, he had to be an extremely powerful Deity.
