Devouring: Starting with an innate sacred body and Dao embryo

Chapter 77 The Final Test, The World Ring

"Aren't you afraid that I'll break my promise and not keep my word?" Jiang Chen asked.

"I had given up all hope of killing my enemy, but your appearance has given me a glimmer of hope."

The God Lord Guangyu looked at Jiang Chen with hope in his eyes: "I have no other choice. For this sliver of possibility, I am willing to give everything."

Hearing the powerful words of the God Lord Guangyu, Jiang Chen was deeply moved.

He raised his head and met the gaze of the God of Light Feather: "In that case, I will agree to this deal."

"Once I have enough strength, I will definitely go and find Marquis Die Meng to kill him and avenge you."

"I can sense the sincerity and earnestness in your words."

The God of Light Feather, whose demeanor was as aloof as snow, revealed a smile, as stunning as a plum blossom blooming in the snow.

"That puts my mind at ease."

A mark of inheritance condensed and appeared between his eyebrows, slowly flying to Jiang Chen's front.

"Open your heart and mind to receive this mark of mine, and you will receive my entire legacy and all my wealth."

Despite the extremely tempting words of the God of Light Feather, Jiang Chen remained unmoved.

"My Lord, please forgive me for not being able to accept your inheritance mark with an open mind. Is there any other way of inheritance, such as books, secret manuals, or electronic catalogs that can be used to assist the optical computer?"

Opening one's mind means abandoning all mental resistance; if the other party has malicious intentions, one can easily kill them with a mental attack.

Or they might use methods of enslavement to control his mind and soul, keeping him a slave for eternity.

Although the Primordial Chaos Beast's innate secret technique, the Origin Mark and I think, therefore I am, allows him to be resurrected from death and avoid being controlled and enslaved through soul splitting.

But this is a last resort; Jiang Chen won't use it unless absolutely necessary.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, he should try to avoid the possibility of such a crisis.

Even if the God of Lightfeather seems trustworthy, he wouldn't risk his life to believe him.

"My method of inheritance can only be obtained through the inheritance mark; otherwise, the inheritance cannot be received."

The Goddess of Light Feather frowned slightly and questioned, "What, do you doubt that I would attack you?"

"I wouldn't dare. With the power of the Divine Lord, killing me would be a matter of a single thought."

Jiang Chen had a clear understanding of the strength of the Immortal level.

Immortality, plucking stars from the sky and seizing the moon, shattering the void, faster than light travel...

One by one, miracles and great powers, like those in mythology, are gathered in one body.

Therefore, they are called immortal gods.

Don't be fooled by Jiang Chen's domineering attitude at the planetary level; he can even defeat Huang Yan, the avatar of the God of Light Feather.

But that's only because the other party limited the strength of their avatar to the same level as him.

Otherwise, with the true strength of the Light Feather God Lord at the Immortal level, he could crush him with a flick of his finger.

"Have you thought this through? If you are unwilling to open your heart and accept my legacy, then I will have no choice but to abandon the deal with you and find a new successor."

"At that time, my secrets and wealth will no longer belong to you."

The Divine Lord Guangyu asked, "An immortal-level powerhouse, and a treasure about to enter the Marquis-level immortal realm, are you... willing to give it up?"

Faced with this temptation, Jiang Chen hesitated slightly, but ultimately remained steadfast in his belief.

"If I must open my heart to obtain these treasures, I am willing to give them up."

To entrust one's life and death to others is, in Jiang Chen's view, undoubtedly the most foolish thing to do.

No matter how rich the God Lord Guangyu was, he would rather not have it.

Upon hearing Jiang Chen's answer, the God Lord Guangyu was not angry at all; instead, he showed a satisfied expression.

"Congratulations, you've passed my final test."

"What?"

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, and then realized that the God Lord Guangyu had not really wanted him to open his mind to accept the inheritance, but rather it was a test he had set for himself.

"A true strong person is one who takes responsibility for themselves, especially their own life, which is the foundation of everything. They must never give it up because of external wealth or false trust."

The God of Light Feather said, "Oriko, you did well in not opening your mind and abandoning your right to life and death because of my temptation."

"What if I opened my mind just now and failed your test?" Jiang Chen pressed.

"That proves that your mind is not mature enough. Giving you a huge amount of wealth rashly would not only be useless to you, but also harmful."

"At that time, I will deposit my assets in the Cosmic Galaxy Bank and give them to you in three phases."

"The Hengxing level will give you one ten-thousandth of my total assets, the Universe level will give you one hundredth of my total assets, and the Domain Lord level will give you all of my assets."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen suddenly thought of Hu Yanbo.

He also divided his bank account assets into three levels: the Eternal Level, the Universe Level, and the Domain Lord Level, from least to most.

Presumably, they were afraid that their disciple's mind was not mature enough, and that giving him too much wealth rashly would harm his cultivation and growth.

"But I never expected that you would be able to pass my test."

The God of Light Feather was actually quite surprised that Jiang Chen was able to pass her test.

After all, this was all the assets and wealth of an immortal being, and the God Lord Guangyu thought about it from his perspective.

If she were at the planetary level, facing the inherited wealth of an immortal god, she would definitely be unable to resist and would probably open her mind directly.

"This child is not only incredibly talented, but also has such a steadfast mind. If he doesn't perish in the future, he will definitely become a top expert in his own right."

The God Lord Guangyu's thoughts raced: "It seems my great revenge may indeed be within reach!"

With a slight lift of his fair, jade-like hand, a world ring appeared and landed in front of Jiang Chen.

"This world ring contains all my secret techniques and wealth; I hope you will use it wisely."

"Thank you for your blessing, Lord God."

Jiang Chen first bowed to the God Lord Guangyu in gratitude, and then used his mental power to probe into the world ring to take a look.

This world ring contains a world that is approximately one million kilometers in length, width, and height—it is incredibly vast.

At the center of this world, various items are placed.

On the far left are books containing various secret methods of cultivation.

"The Myriad Transformations", "Flowing Light and Fire", "Time Slowing Down"...

Jiang Chen quickly flipped through the pages before looking at the middle section.

In the center was a bank card from the Cosmic Galaxy Bank. As soon as Jiang Chen touched it with his mental power, a message entered his mind, informing him of the bank card's balance and account password.

"Huh? There are actually 103 million Mixed Yuan Units!" Jiang Chen was slightly surprised after learning about the balance in his bank card.

Generally speaking, an ordinary Immortal Army Lord possesses only about ten to twenty thousand Mixed Yuan Units of wealth.

The wealth possessed by the God Lord Guangyu was dozens or even hundreds of times that of an ordinary Immortal Military Lord, making him undoubtedly one of the wealthiest among Immortal Military Lords.
