Before Ning Liu's smile had faded, the cold, mechanical voice in his mind rang out again, bringing a completely new message.

[Item: Heart of the Tree of Life]

[Description: Rich in life energy and the purest water element, it can perfectly fuse with martial souls that possess both water and wood attributes, or those leaning towards life energy.]

[Effect: The merger will gain the qualification to inherit the divine position of the God of Sweet Springs and will begin the first trial!]

Divine succession!

Ning Liu's fingertips paused on the table, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

Just like the previous auction item!

One hundred million gold soul coins? He certainly wouldn't even consider that a threat!

Because he obtained this divine object and the opportunity to inherit the legacy of an entire god without lifting a finger!

This deal was absolutely worthwhile.

"hehe……"

Ning Liu couldn't help but laugh out loud again.

After laughing, he fell into deep thought.

The inheritance of a divine position is not something that can be given away casually; it is not something that can be given away lightly.

This thing is of immense importance; once it is given away, it means that a true god will be born in the future of Liuli Heaven!

to whom?

This has become a happy problem.

Familiar figures flashed rapidly through Ning Liu's mind.

Xu Jiushi?

No, although the Golden Black Tortoise possesses both water and earth attributes, it is ultimately a beast spirit, which is incompatible with this pure life energy attribute. Forcing a fusion would likely result in conflict.

Dugu Bo?

That won't work either.

The Azure Serpent King is poisonous, which runs counter to life energy; giving it to him would be tantamount to force-feeding him a bowl of deadly poison.

Yang Wudi?

The Soul-Breaking Spear is purely offensive and doesn't fit into any other category.

Shi Han, Luo Li...

He sifted through the names one by one, only to reject them one by one.

It seems that none of the people in his core group are the perfect fit.

"Too many good things can also be a problem."

Ning Liu rubbed his temples and muttered a self-deprecating remark to himself.

His gaze swept unconsciously across the room, his mind still racing.

This "heart of the Tree of Life" must find the most suitable owner in order to maximize its value.

Not only must the martial soul attributes match, but temperament and loyalty are also indispensable.

Suddenly, a name he had temporarily forgotten in a corner flashed through his mind like lightning.

Xuan Shui Sect... Ling Xi Vine... Xuan Lin!

Ning Liu's eyes suddenly lit up.

He remembered that the former Grand Elder of the Xuan Shui Sect, now the Minister of the "Sin" Department of the Liuli Heaven, Xuan Lin!

Xuan Lin's martial soul, "Lingxi Vine," is an extremely powerful water-attribute plant-type martial soul, making it a perfect match for the attributes of "Heart of the Tree of Life"!

When Xuan Shui Sect merged into Liuli Heaven, Xuan Lin, as a surrendered general, was appointed as the Minister of the "Sin" Department, in charge of external supervision and punishment of criminals.

For so long, Xuan Lin has been diligent and conscientious, managing the "Sin" Department in an orderly manner without ever complaining or abusing his power.

He is a calm and composed person who doesn't talk much, but he is a true pragmatist.

In terms of strength, a level 91 Title Douluo is quite impressive.

In terms of loyalty, they have already passed the test after this period of observation.

In terms of temperament, he is calm and reliable, more than capable of bearing this tremendous opportunity.

"It's him."

Ning Liu made a decision in an instant.

Bestowing this divine inheritance upon Xuanlin is not only making the best use of it, but also the highest affirmation of his achievements during this period.

The fact that a minister of the "Sin" department, a former surrendered general, has obtained a divine position will have an immeasurable impact on all the allied forces within the entire Liuli Heaven.

With that thought in mind, Ning Liu no longer hesitated.

He opened his palm, a thought forming in his mind.

Buzz—

A soft, emerald-green light appeared in his palm, and within the light, a heart about the size of a fist slowly condensed and took shape.

It is not made of flesh and blood, but of the purest energy.

Its entire body is emerald green, like the finest jade, but its surface is covered with a layer of aquamarine halo, and inside its heart, countless points of light rise and fall.

As it gently throbbed, the air in the entire room became fresh and moist, and even tender buds in the corners of the walls broke through the soil uncontrollably and grew rapidly.

This is the "Heart of the Tree of Life"!

He took out a communication soul tool and immersed his divine sense into it.

"Notify the 'Sin' Department, Elder Xuanlin, to come to the auction house in Liulitian Auction House immediately to see me in the owner's office."
