Ancestral Wealth Inheritance System

"Crack!" Fang Jueyu casually crushed a Life Crystal Core from a Tier 7 Controller-class beast, and in an instant, it was absorbed into his body with the forceful energy of Mohe.

However, it seemed that the energy contained in this high-level Life Crystal Core was too intense, with considerable impurities. Although Mohe absorbed it quickly, the efficiency of feeding it back to Fang Jueyu was slower than before.

Yet despite this, even if Fang Jueyu spent his days eating, sleeping, and lazing around, according to some sources, there was still a definite possibility of reaching the Controller level within a few decades, a feat unimaginable for ordinary people.

Now that he had broken through to become a Divine Ability User, Fang Jueyu was eager to return to the outer regions of the Root Universe. With his current strength, he feared no opponents in the Root Universe. With his usual pride, he wished he could immediately go and show off everywhere.

However, casting a glance at the dense tombs, he hesitated to leave. There were thousands of Divine Weapons in this divine tomb, and it would be a pity to leave them here. If he could take them all away, he might even develop a colossal influence over time.

But he suspected that Jin Gang remained here to guard this divine tomb. Even though they had become brothers, Jin Gang would not allow him to take these Divine Weapons.

Furthermore, Fang Jueyu's mind was filled with questions. He was very curious about the origins of Wanshen Manor and the divine tomb, and he wondered if Jin Gang, having lived here for so long, might know some of the secrets.

It seemed that the commotion from the breakthrough was quite loud, and it woke Jin Gang from his slumber. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked toward Fang Jueyu.

"Brother, congratulations to you, you've actually broken through to a Divine Ability User!" Jin Gang patted Fang Jueyu on the shoulder, and the beast-like strength nearly knocked him to the ground. Despite Fang Jueyu's formidable strength, in Jin Gang's eyes, the vast gap in their levels meant he was still much the same as before he had broken through.

"Want a cup of milk tea?"

"Sure! I'll have taro flavor!"

The two agreed and sat down with their milk tea atop the skull of a fierce beast.

"By the way, Brother Jin Gang, we've known each other for so long, and I still don't know why you're in this place called the divine tomb!"

"Ah, that story starts from a long time ago." Jin Gang suddenly tilted his head and gazed skyward at a 45-degree angle, as if everything was as recent as yesterday. "Even I don't know how long I've been in this place."

The fierce beasts have few desires beyond living freely and having an unending supply of food.

With countless fierce beasts living in this Root Universe and few traces of humans appearing here, Jin Gang lived in this Root Universe for a long time.

One day, while hunting a Transcender-level beast, Jin Gang accidentally wandered into this place. The beast, just as it stepped inside, was struck by a golden light and killed. No wounds were left on its body, but its soul was utterly destroyed.

In this divine tomb, there existed an ancient will, one so powerful that even Jin Gang, a Demigod-level beast, was no match for it!

When Jin Gang entered this area, a golden light also shot into his head, but the will did not kill him. That was when he learned this place was called the divine tomb, a place where divine beings had once fallen.

That will seemed to be fading after existing for so long and could no longer guard this place, so it left a Curse on Jin Gang, requiring him to guard the divine tomb and prohibiting long absences. If he stayed away for too long, his soul would suffer excruciating pain and might even be annihilated.

Since then, Jin Gang had lived here continuously.

As for the origins of the divine tomb, Jin Gang knew very little, but what he mentioned seeing Fang Jueyu for the first time—the "Divine Sovereign"—was the owner of that will.

"However, based on my understanding of this Root Universe, a great battle once erupted here involving beings above the Demigod realm, and the Divine Sovereign should have been among them."

"There are many secrets in this Root Universe," Fang Jueyu mused. "Jin Gang, do you know about Wanshen Manor?"

"Never heard of it," Jin Gang shook his head. Back then, all he cared about was filling his belly. Every day he either slept or hunted fierce beasts, and to him, no treasures hidden here compared to the satisfaction of eating.

"So you have to keep guarding this place forever?"

Speaking of this, Jin Gang's expression darkened immediately. He had lived contentedly before, but after meeting Fang Jueyu he learned human life was full of delicacies. Continuing to guard this place was truly a painful task.

"However, the Divine Sovereign once said if someone could awaken the divine tomb and take away the power of the gods, my task would be considered complete, and I could leave," Jin Gang sighed. "But who knows when that will happen, and the owners of these tombstones have been dead for such a long time. Would they actually resurrect?"

"How many tombstones are there in total?" Fang Jueyu asked.

"A total of 10,001," Jin Gang replied. "The owners of these tombstones seem to have differences in status; some tombstones are large, some small. The largest tombstone stands at the center of this divine tomb, but aside from a tombstone, nothing else remains."

"Host!"

"Hmm!" Fang Jueyu nodded fiercely. If he remembered correctly, the altar in Wanshen Manor contained 10,001 skeletons in total, 10,000 of which were Blue Jade Skeletons left by Demigods, and one unknown Purple Crystal skeleton.

These numbers matched up remarkably, which couldn't be a coincidence!

"Could those skeletons be connected to the owners of these tombstones?" Fang Jueyu speculated. "Yet it makes no sense. If this divine tomb had tombstones, why did those Martial Artists die there?"

This caused Fang Jueyu to scratch his head in frustration, unable to figure it out.

"Hey! Brother! Is this divine tomb related to you?" Fang Jueyu attempted to communicate with the golden figure deep within his Divine Sense, but it still gave no response.

"I must be an idiot," Fang Jueyu slapped his forehead, realizing how foolish he had acted just now.

Fang Jueyu walked to the center of the divine tomb. The other tombstones had heights ranging from three to five meters, but this tombstone was a full ten meters tall, indicating that its owner must have held the highest status in the entire divine tomb.

This reminded him of the Purple Crystal skeleton in the altar, whose position seemed similar to this notable tombstone in the divine tomb.

The Divine Sovereign, the Purple Crystal skeleton, the golden figure, the divine tomb, Wanshen Manor—there had to be some connection among these. Previously, Fang Jueyu had been busy recovering his body and enhancing his strength, but now with time at his disposal, his attention shifted to these issues.

"Something's wrong; there's got to be an issue!" Fang Jueyu took out the model he brought from Wanshen Manor.

In that instant, the golden figure at the center of his brow surprisingly responded!

"Boom!" In an instant, the ground trembled, and an earthquake occurred within the divine tomb!

"Swish!" The golden mark radiated dazzling light, and the will that had once saved Fang Jueyu descended once more!
