You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 374 - 13. Inheritance Altar

"Welcome, Human Clan."

Suddenly, a somewhat deep voice echoed as if reverberating throughout the entire night-bound world.

"The first talent of the Human Clan, with Divine Emperor Bloodline..."

The deep voice contained an unmistakable sense of gratification, "Waking up to encounter a genius like you, I am very satisfied."

Who is this? Lin Yue wondered.

The deep voice said:

"Basic Inheritance Altars, three hundred and sixty-five.

"Core Inheritance Altars, twenty-four.

"Supreme Inheritance Altar... there is but one.

"As one chosen by the Divine Emperor among the Twenty-four Heavenly, a Core Inheritance Altar should be quite fitting for you.

"However, as the foremost talent of the Human Clan, you are also qualified to attempt the Supreme Inheritance Altar that was recently constructed. Although there is little hope, you need not worry about failure, as failure is normal. After all, it is..."

The deep voice stopped as if there was some taboo, and didn't continue but said, "In any case, the Core Inheritance Altars are already quite perfect."

You think I'm going to fail before I even start? Lin Yue felt a bit perplexed.

Nonetheless, the guidance from the Divine Emperor corresponding to the twenty-four inheritances helped him understand the criteria for selection by the Divine Emperor.

Lin Yue asked, "So I just walk up there, right?"

"Correct."

The deep voice said, "This altar's inheritance isn't any Cultivation Technique or secret technique, it is simply a form of guidance, guiding towards a certain 'Path'. The process of ascending the steps is a test to see if you are compatible with that Path. You need to walk at least halfway up the stairway to be deemed fitting. The higher you go, the more suited you are to pursue this Path."

The voice paused, then sighed, "If it's not the Path for you, even if compelled onto it, you won't get far. Remember... suitability is more important than anything else."

Lin Yue nodded slightly and asked, "Shall I begin now?"

"Certainly."

The deep voice said, "However, the Supreme Inheritance Altar's oppressive force is too difficult to contain. Going up will greatly exhaust your spirit, while the Core Altar consumes much less. You might want to try the Core Altar that fits you first and see how compatible you are, and then attempt the Supreme Inheritance Altar afterwards. Even if you're too spent to go up the other altars, I can send you directly to that Core Altar."

Lin Yue fell into contemplation.

He had a sneaking suspicion that this deep voice held little hope.

And what exactly was the essence of the power from the beginning of time that the Divine Emperor had brought back from Eternal Night twenty-two years ago?

A newly constructed Inheritance Altar that nobody had tried, and yet so pessimistic?

It seemed... the difficulty was indeed very high.

Lin Yue took a deep breath and said, "Alright, which Core Inheritance Altar suits me?"

"That Core Altar emitting a blue-yellow light should suit you."

The deep voice said, "Judging by your Physical Body's aura and your Innate Divine Power, you are quite compatible with the Earth Phase and endless vitality, akin to the Earth Emperor Altar."

Lin Yue understood and said, "Alright."

Immediately, he looked up and, using the power of the Wind Element, he floated and quickly reached the base of the Core Altar that was emitting blue-yellow light.

In front of him was the first layer of stairs.

The altar's stairs were only a foot high, with numerous patterns visible on the surface of each step, exuding a faint, exotic aura, making him feel quite comfortable. The higher he would go, the stronger the aura emitted.

Without hesitation, Lin Yue stepped onto the first layer of the stairs.

An invisible aura immediately permeated around him, embodying a solid, boundless weight, yet brimming with endless vitality.

Looking up, he could see that the Core Altar had a total of nine hundred and ninety-nine layers.

On his way here, he had noticed that the Basic Inheritance Altars only had three hundred and sixty-five layers.

Lin Yue started ascending, taking one step at a time.

With each step, the aura on the stairway intensified, gradually exerting a growing pressure on him.

As he got closer to the top, this invisible pressure increased even more.

When he reached the five hundredth layer, he could feel the pressure become quite noticeable, causing him to slow down considerably as he continued to move upwards.
