Youyou didn't immediately bring the mortal gods down to the mortal realm. After all, it wouldn't be appropriate for such a large group to descend all at once; she needed to ensure the celestial realm was prepared first. Therefore, she only temporarily connected the divine realm with the three realms, leaving behind a communication artifact before returning to the True Evolution Sect. She would invite them down to the mortal realm after further arrangements were made. As for the specific details of the later teaching support program, that would have to be done gradually.
Her trip to the realm of gods was incredibly smooth. Not only did she obtain the legacy of a sage and learn the method to reseal the demon realm, but she also brought back a group of high-quality allies. Apart from almost being swept away by those special purple lights in that temple, she didn't encounter any difficulties.
As for why the little flame triggered those events, she later realized it was probably because that place was the Saint's Temple. The little flame was a true phoenix of Feng Rong's race, and naturally belonged to the divine race. The Saint had once annihilated the entire divine race, which was why he directly regarded the little flame as an enemy.
To her surprise, the spell her father cast on her hand could actually block the attack left by the saint—something she hadn't expected. She wondered what kind of spell it was, and then asked directly.
"A spell?" Yuan Qi paused for a moment, then remembered something, still smiling gently as he said, "It's nothing much, just a protective spell I created by chance after comprehending some of the seals of Tian Sheng Mountain. I thought it might be helpful since you're going to find a saint, so I cast it on you."
"Oh." So it was created based on the seal of the sage; no wonder it's useful.
"By the way," Yuan Qi changed the subject and continued, "Xiao You, did you really receive the Sage's inheritance this time?"
"I guess so!" You nodded and took out the crystal. "This is it. It should be able to reseal the Demon Realm."
"This is an inheritance?!" Yuan Qi was stunned for a moment, and Feng Rong blurted out, "How could this be? Shouldn't an inheritance be directly integrated into your divine consciousness? Why is there such a crystal?"
It's important to understand that so-called inheritance is usually a manifestation of the other person's mind and spirit. It could be a thought, an experience, or their own cultivation experience, and so on. To receive inheritance is to receive these things, and naturally, they will become a part of the recipient. I've never seen inheritance transform into a crystal.
"Xiao You, have you not fully accepted this inheritance yet?" Yuan Qi was also a little confused.
"I don't know either..." Youyou replied with a hint of confusion, "After I got this crystal, I learned about the seal between the God Realm and the Demon Realm. I could also sense that there was a huge amount of energy inside, which should be the cultivation techniques or inheritance left by the saints, but for some reason, I don't seem to be able to merge with the energy in this crystal."
"They can't be fused!" The two were taken aback and exchanged a glance.
"That's peculiar," Yuan Qi said in a deep voice. "Since this inheritance chose you and helped you open the gate to the divine realm, it shouldn't have any aversion to you. Why can't the energy in the crystal directly flow into your body and become part of your power?"
“These energies did try to penetrate my body, but they quickly dispersed. I don’t think it was because they were rejecting me…” Youyou frowned, looking somewhat conflicted, “It’s more like… I’m rejecting them?”
Yuan Qi: "..."
Feng Rong: "..."
Youyou thought about it for a long time, initially believing it was due to the game system within her. Hadn't it previously notified her that she was at the maximum level? It was like her memory was full, unable to hold anything else; it couldn't fit anything else in.
But then she remembered that when she first obtained the Yin Book, skill icons suddenly appeared in her mind, which proved that the memory was not full, so she rejected this answer.
Therefore, the only possibility is that she is incompatible with this heritage, which is why she rejects these energies from entering her body.
"Do you think... is it because I am a demon god that I cannot fully accept the saint's inheritance?" Youyou gave a very reasonable answer; she couldn't think of any other reason.
After all, saints and demons are, in every sense, opposites.
Yuan Qi and Feng Rong were both taken aback, as if they had just remembered this matter, and their expressions darkened.
The more You You thought about it, the more convinced she became that this was the reason. "If that's really the case, then it might not be appropriate for me to keep this inheritance. It might even affect the seal of Tian Sheng Mountain." After all, resealing would require the energy contained in this crystal. After thinking for a moment, she handed the crystal to the person next to her. "Father Yuan, you are most familiar with sealing. Why don't you take this inheritance?"
Yuan Qi's expression froze, and he suddenly took a step back, quickly moving away from the crystal. He clenched his fist before saying, "Xiao You, since the Sage has chosen you, this inheritance can only be used by you. How can it be given to others casually? Perhaps you just can't guide the energy inside yet. Maybe you can merge it after a few more tries."
"Is that so?" She then put the stone away and looked at it again. "But I always feel that the energy inside is strange. It looks similar to what's inside me, but it also seems completely different." She couldn't quite explain the feeling.
"Is there something wrong with this stone?" Feng Rong frowned and stepped forward worriedly, saying, "Let me take a look."
After saying that, he reached out to pick up the crystal to examine it, but before his hand could even touch it, a golden light suddenly burst forth from it, heading straight for him. He quickly withdrew his hand, but it was too late. The golden light struck his palm squarely, instantly charring it black, and he was forced back several steps.
"Feng Rong!" You You was startled and immediately put away the crystal, then pulled his hand over to take a look. His entire palm looked as if it had been burned, with the skin and flesh scalded open.
He was originally a fire phoenix, so he should be least afraid of flames. However, he never expected that there would be something in this world that could burn him. He was stunned.
Yuan Qi reacted quickly, immediately casting a healing spell and brushing it across Feng Rong's palm. Her burned palm began to heal, and the heat dissipated.
“It seems that Xiao You is indeed the only inheritor of the Sage. Now that you have been chosen, no matter what your identity is or whether you can fully integrate this power, it is already your inheritance. Others naturally cannot touch it easily!” Yuan Qi sighed and explained while treating You You. After speaking, he looked at You You and said, “You don’t need to worry. Judging from the current situation, with this crystal, you will definitely be able to reseal the Demon Realm.”
You You nodded, finally relieved. "Alright, as long as this thing works, that's fine. The most important thing now is to replace the seal on Tian Sheng Mountain and quickly reseal the Demon Realm."
Feng Rong, who was usually quick to anger, glanced at the wound on her hand that had disappeared, then turned to look at Yuan Qi with a strange expression, as if she wanted to say something, but still didn't speak.
