Thunder and fire intertwined with stellar energy, forming arrows that shot towards you. Just as the attacks were about to reach you, you curiously asked the people outside the formation, "Why are you attacking me?"
[You're new to the starry sky, so you genuinely don't understand these things. It has nothing to do with cultivation or comprehension; it's all about experience.]
[Was it murder and robbery, or some other reason, such as them mistaking you for a world spy infiltrated from elsewhere?]
You want to die knowing why.
[Get this straight before they die.]
"Idiot, you'd better survive first!" A tall man who had led the way sneered. "Foolish Starry Sky Warrior, you didn't expect to fall into our hands, did you!"
【you:"……"】
You take a step forward, and an arrow imbued with the power of lightning and stars strikes behind you, hitting the void in space.
The array, whose strength was comparable to two-thirds of the Thorn's, was shattered like a bubble by your collision, exploding in a burst of light and fire behind you.
You appeared before him.
"They survived, so why?"
The tall man remained silent, his gaze blank: "...And who are you, the reincarnation of some emperor?"
"So what's the reason?"
"I was wrong, I was really wrong, Your Majesty, I..."
[Bang!]
You withdrew your fist, letting the headless corpse, now powerless and uncontrollable, drift in space, blood splattering everywhere, before turning to face a Grand Celestial Venerable who was manipulating an array nearby.
The formation had just exploded, and the Grand Celestial Venerable hadn't even had time to withdraw his hand, still channeling his Yuan energy, when he froze: "Senior, this was a misunderstanding..."
[Bang!]
The third person glares at you angrily: "Go ahead and kill him! You'll never know the truth!"
"So you're sulking with me now?" You say with slight interest. "You're not even the last one, where does this bravado come from?"
You won't be polite to something that attacks you out of the blue.
You snapped your fingers: "I'll give you a chance. Tell me the truth, and I'll spare your life. I swear."
The third person froze, then opened their mouth—
[Bang!]
You didn't blow his head off, you just blew his mouth off, and then you just watched him silently.
"Aren't you going to talk? Looks like you don't want to live anymore."
[Third person: "..."]
He wanted to connect with you on a spiritual level, but he ran into a spiritual barrier as thick as a mountain.
He regenerated rapidly, trying to restore his throat and tongue, but just as it grew halfway back, he was punched by you again, returning him to his original state.
"Things don't happen more than three times. Looks like you really don't want to live anymore. Dignity is more important than life. You're a tough guy."
[In his desperate, speechless gaze, you smash his skull with a single blow, then move on to the next one.]
[The moment you turned your head, the fourth person quickly spoke up: "We really were just after money; we wanted to make a quick buck!"]
"A space traveler like you, with no background or identity, comes from trillions of miles away. Even if you die, no one will investigate. The starry sky is too vast!"
"Having traveled the stars for many years, you must possess rare resources from all corners of the world. Some of these resources might be insignificant in another star system, but they could be invaluable treasures here."
"We are just a bunch of ignorant ants, mere bandits wandering outside the Tianwu Continent. Please, have mercy and spare our lives!"
"Damn it." You shook your head and casually unleashed a lightning-fire arrow, far more advanced and sophisticated than the array they had set up.
[Turn the remaining "bandits" to ashes.]
When you moved towards the Tianwu Continent again, you did not encounter any more so-called welcoming guests.
[In the outer layers of the continent, in the near-surface region of the starry sky, there are some scattered ruins and shattered remains.]
As you pass through a starry sky, you happen to see a "Martial God Ancient Temple," a legendary force founded 100,000 years ago by a powerful expert at the peak of the Fifth Realm. Now, only ruins remain, which the expert transformed into a training ground before his death.
This trial ground opens on average once every 100 years. It can accommodate extraordinary individuals below the third realm to undergo inheritance trials, and those who pass can obtain the final legacy of that powerful figure.
[As for forcibly entering at the fourth or fifth realm? That would directly lead to the destruction of the ruins, and you would gain nothing.]
[Now, it's time for a new batch of inheritances to begin. You've noticed several hundred forces, all with elders at the peak of the third realm leading their juniors at the second realm to participate.]
Most of these hundreds of forces are only at the fourth realm level, with only a few fourth-realm ancestors in their sects. If any of their disciples successfully inherit the legacy of the Martial God Ancient Temple, it would undoubtedly be a huge windfall.
A group of young men and women were eagerly waiting at the entrance of the ruins. You wanted to join in the fun, but you were almost turned away: "Spots have been allocated; those who are not interested should not enter!"
[You released a trace of the aura of the Fourth Realm.]
[The other party immediately backed down. When he learned that you were just a Venerable One who happened to be passing by, he was relieved and explained the above to you.]
[You glanced into the depths of the ruins, successfully entering the future, only to discover... this trial grounds have quite a few pitfalls!]
[That "Martial God" from 100,000 years ago never condensed a Dao Seal before his death, and he always held a grudge about it, so he set a trap at the final stage of the assessment.]
[He will forcibly transform those who reach the final trial into his system, forcing them to condense their Dao Seal using his original system and become an Emperor, only then can they die in peace.]
[You glanced at that extraordinary system, a slightly unique spiritual martial arts system. The Dao Seal quality is 7, not particularly difficult; you could condense a Dao Seal in six or seven years.]
"I thought there was some kind of trap in this system, like the 99x enlightenment of arcane magic... It's just that the martial god from 100,000 years ago was too weak."
"You're too arrogant! Don't you realize that your overall qualities are many times greater than theirs!"
"Wait a minute, my overall quality seems to be pretty high too?"
"That's alright then, he really is bad."
[In 3670, you learned about some of the rules of the Tianwu Continent and the surrounding star system.]
You also... spotted someone you knew.
The other party was a handsome man, extremely dashing, and surrounded by beautiful women.
You don't actually recognize this face, nor do you know this person; correspondingly, he doesn't know you either.
"Who the hell is that acquaintance?"
But you know him.
【Ning Jun.】
"...Such an old character can make a comeback?"
