Please be my partner.

Mellen twitched the corners of his mouth and resisted the urge to look back.

At this time, the crow said, "I will open a gate for you. Once you enter, just cross the forest and successfully reach the registration office of Divine Heart Academy. You will then pass the test."

As the crow spoke, the wall beside the gate twisted and turned into a door that slowly opened inward. There was a small path in it, with slightly gloomy woods on both sides of the path. There were wisps of mist floating in the woods, which looked very eerie.

Melen looked at the normal gate of the Divine Heart War Academy, where the sun was shining and people were bustling around, and then looked at the trial gate leading to the gloomy forest. They were two completely different extremes.

Mellen didn't step in immediately. Instead, he thought for a moment and asked, "Yesterday, I came here to inquire about the requirements for joining the Divine Heart Academy and obtaining the [Divine Heart Warrior]. The answer I got was a firm heart. So, the types of tests for both should be the same, just with different levels of difficulty, right?"

"Ok?"

The crow seemed a little confused. Suddenly, its body trembled slightly, and then it stretched out its feathers again. At the same time, the voice changed to the one that Melen was familiar with: "You again? I didn't expect you to be a saint. I was really disrespectful yesterday."

Mellen smiled and nodded.

The crow said, "Back to your question, indeed, the two tests are essentially the same, just with different levels of difficulty. What do you think?"

Melen said, "I don't like trouble, and I hate doing repetitive things. How about this... just increase my strength and let me take the [Divine Heart Warrior] test? What do you think?"

The crow shook his head and said, "Nothing!"

"Completing the Heart Test is only one of the necessary conditions for obtaining the [Divine Heart Warrior] inheritance, but not everyone can easily obtain the qualification for the test."

Mellen frowned and asked in distress, "Mr. Crow, could you be more specific? Don't be so vague like yesterday. How can I get the qualification?"

Crow said earnestly, "Young man, the [Divine Heart Warrior] is known as the strongest and most difficult Transcendental Class in the God's Front Arena. I advise you not to be so obsessed with Gao Wuyuan."

"Furthermore, this is also to protect you. The dangers you face as a [Divine Heart Warrior] are beyond your imagination, let alone as a part-timer."

“Only what suits you is the best!”

This lecture left Melen speechless.

Seeing this, the test door slowly closed. The crow showed a human-like look of regret and said, "It seems that you are not ready yet."

Just as the test gate was about to close completely and the crow spread its wings to fly back to the eaves, the silent Melen suddenly said, "Myth!"

The crow's movements suddenly stopped. It just hovered in the air, turned its head and looked at Mellen, a faint light in its eyes, and said, "What did you say?"

Crow's reaction actually made Melen breathe a sigh of relief. His expression became calm, and he said, "The War God World is already more famous than other worlds, and the God Arena is the core of the War God World. It attracts geniuses and powerful people from the War God World and even dozens of surrounding worlds."

"Under such circumstances, I really can't figure out what kind of inheritance could be called the strongest and cause countless talented and powerful people to return empty-handed."

"Now it seems that my guess was correct, or perhaps the name of [Divine Heart Warrior] itself already explains something. This inheritance actually involves mythical power?!"

In the starry universe, levels one to three can only be considered as mortals who have slightly touched the extraordinary. There are no bottlenecks in the process. As long as there is a formal cultivation system, anyone can reach it with time.

The reason why Melen encountered danger when he was promoted to the Blue and Green Realm was mainly because the Blue and Green Realm was in the period of the return of the spiritual tide and most of the inheritances were incomplete.

The fourth-level legend is the real threshold to the extraordinary, but to be honest, this "threshold" is not that high for the entire starry universe.

Only when one reaches the fifth-level saint stage can one have a certain reputation in the universe and become the head of a small or medium-sized organization, or a senior figure in a large force.

A sixth-order demigod is already at the pinnacle of mortals, possessing some mythological characteristics. The essence of life and even the way of thinking have undergone tremendous changes. They usually hide behind the scenes and have little reputation, but once they make any move, it may trigger a tsunami-like chain reaction.

Among these levels, the corresponding quantity will drop drastically with each step you cross.

When it comes to the seventh-level myth, it stands to reason that the number of such eternal and great beings should increase with the passage of time, but this is not the case.

Because, for anything to become a myth is truly as difficult as climbing to heaven!

There are more than ten world communities, tens of thousands of large, medium and small worlds in total, spanning thousands or even tens of thousands of years. The geniuses born in them can really be described as a multitude of fish in the river. Even if only eleven of them have been to the God's Arena, and only eleven of them are interested in the [Divine Heart Warriors], that is still an extremely exaggerated number.

There are not many people who can cause so many geniuses to fail.

The crow circled and landed in front of Melen, saying, "Even if you guessed it, it's true that the [Divine Heart Warrior] is indeed related to mythical power."

"Controlling mythology with a mortal body, I don't need to explain the difficulty and danger involved, right? Normally, every student entering the Divine Heart War Academy must first enlist as a [Divine Blood Warrior]. Only after cultivating this profession to the Saint stage and passing the spiritual test are they qualified to try out for the [Divine Heart Warrior]."

Melen pondered for a moment and decided to show off his real skills, so that he might be able to directly inherit the [Divine Heart Warrior].

Thinking of this, Melen unfolded the Saint's Territory, which had been integrated with the [Holy Temple]. The main purpose was to isolate the leakage of the internal aura.

Then, under the crow's puzzled gaze, Melen slowly stretched out a finger, and a ray of blood light slowly swirled around it.

Although the blood light was faint, it faintly emitted an essence that was enough to make the world pale in comparison.

The crow's feathers stood up in shock, and even its eyes were briefly confused. After the shock, it was confused and thoughtful. Then, its gaze towards Mellen became cold and playful. With a forced smile, it said, "I didn't expect you to be a divine messenger. Your presence at our academy is truly a great honor to us."

Mellen was stunned for a moment. He sensed from the crow's words that something seemed to be wrong. He retracted the blood light and asked, "Should I be qualified now?"

"Ha!" The crow scoffed, saying, "Lord Divine Envoy is still thinking about the [Divine Heart Warrior] inheritance? Are you so determined to betray your God?"

Melen suddenly realized that the problem must be the [Divine Heart Warrior] inheritance, which he was not familiar with. He frowned and asked, "To become a [Divine Heart Warrior], you also need to believe in a certain god?!"

The crow said, "Of course not. On the contrary, before you're successfully inaugurated, it's best not to believe in a particular god, to avoid interference. This is especially true for a divine messenger like you. If you inaugurate a [Divine Heart Warrior], the god behind you might consider it disrespectful."

Melen immediately understood the crux of the matter. He wasn't about to play the 'let me explain' or 'I won't listen, I won't listen' game. He immediately said, "Mr. Crow, you misunderstood. I'm not a messenger of a mythical being. I'm able to wield mythical power for other reasons."

Melen didn't expect that he almost made things worse, but he couldn't explain it. He couldn't just say, "The mythical strong man you thought was actually my dog", right?

Crow looked at Mellen suspiciously, thought for a moment, and then said bluntly, "The inheritance requirements of the [Divine Heart Warrior] are not a secret. The most crucial point is to resist the erosion of external mythological forces and thus activate a trace of one's own divinity."

"Once one's own divinity is activated, one will naturally reject all external mythological powers, let alone become a messenger of other gods."

"Young man, don't make the mistake!"

Melen nodded slightly, realizing the power of the [Divine Heart Warrior]. By activating his divinity in advance, he could kill people at will in the Saint stage, which might be of great help in his future breakthrough to become a demigod.

Mellen said seriously: "Mr. Crow, do I look like a fool to you?"

The crow pondered in silence.

Melen took the opportunity to say, "In my opinion, the [Divine Heart Warrior] was tailor-made for me. If I take the job, I'll definitely succeed. It's reasonable to give a genius like me some special treatment, right?!"

Crow glanced at Mellen. Although what the latter said was indeed correct, but...

The situation of the Divine Heart War Academy is different from that of the Madman War Academy. For the latter, the transaction with Mellen is a win-win situation, while the former is a unilateral gift.

Therefore, Melen continued to add, "I am very willing to make sufficient contributions to the Divine Heart War Academy in exchange for the inheritance of the [Divine Heart Warrior]."

The hesitation on Crow's face vanished, revealing a teachable expression. He said, "Not bad, not bad. I can see that you are indeed a good candidate to inherit the [Divine Heart Warrior]. In that case, we will discuss it in detail after you enter the academy."

Following the crow's words, the previous test door opened again, and the forest seemed to become even more gloomy.

Mellen's mouth twitched, and he said, "This... do I still need to take the test?"

The crow said matter-of-factly, "A firm heart is a crucial prerequisite for becoming a [Divine Heart Warrior]. If you can't even pass the test and stand before me, then there's no point in even considering this."

Mellen sighed resignedly and said, "Okay, okay, we just need to follow the forest path, right? There won't be any mazes or anything like that in between, right?"

The crow smiled without saying a word, flapped its wings and flew onto the roof, turning into a sculpture again.

Mellen curled his lips and walked into the test gate.

The gate was closed, thick fog rose, and the forest was quiet and eerie. Mellen walked in it as if he was strolling in a garden, and he even had time to appreciate the scenery on both sides.

The trees in the forest were tall and dense, not the species that Melen was familiar with. It seemed as if something was peeking out from the shadows, and occasionally there were rustling sounds.

As we went deeper, the sounds became more chaotic, mixed with indistinguishable mumblings that were enough to drive people crazy.

His thoughts were disturbed, his mind was obsessed, and ancient memories were stirred up one after another, but in a trance, Melen could not tell whether they really belonged to him.

A trace of confusion crept into Mellen's eyes, and his steps became stiff and slowly stopped.

A breeze blew by, and the forest swayed with a rustling sound, as if mocking Mellen's arrogance.

Chapter 514: A deal is reached and inheritance is obtained

Just as Melen's thoughts and consciousness gradually became silent, a leisurely soul fire ignited deep in his heart, cleansing the surroundings and dispelling the haze and fog.

At the same time, the [Wolf Tamer] anchor point also began to play a role, constantly stabilizing Melen's spirit and placing it in the correct position.

Melen breathed a sigh of relief. The effect of the strange forest on the spirit and soul was completely different from the spiritual reflection area of the Tunan world.

The latter is to build a mental cage, and then bind and imprison you according to your own memory. In this process, all the good wishes or extreme desires from the depths of your soul can be infinitely satisfied.

The former is more like the distortion and erosion of high-level forces. Its influence is silent and difficult to detect at the beginning. By the time it breaks out, the mind has already been twisted and riddled with holes, becoming something weird and unable to be reversed.

Faced with this distortion and erosion, Mellen was fooled at first. He was not aware of the changes in his own mind at all. This concealment even deceived the [Wolf Tamer] anchor point's protection of its own mental state, making him think that everything was normal and not affected at all.

Of course, the reason for this situation is also related to Mellen's own carelessness. In his instinctive cognition, mental resistance has always been his absolute strength. Any such challenge is a piece of cake for him, and he will never fail.

Who would have thought that the twisted and corrosive power in the forest would use this knowledge of Mellen to bypass many of his mental defenses and almost succeed.

Fortunately, in addition to his research, Nasus always worked tirelessly to build a defense line for Meren at the mental and soul levels. The twisted power in the forest eventually touched the protection left by Nasus and was wiped out by the light of the soul.

After regaining normal self-awareness, the anchor point naturally began to function normally, and the strange forces in the forest no longer had a chance to take advantage.

Mellen closed his eyes and remained silent for a long moment before slowly opening them. He muttered to himself, "Things have been going so smoothly that even I've become a little lazy. I should take this as a warning!"

When Melen first traveled through time, he was able to clearly realize that he was not a wise man, but just an ordinary person, so he set a lot of conditions for himself, such as making plans for his future and planning actions every once in a while, and doing self-reflection every once in a while.

The former has actually always been implemented and has now become almost instinctive, while the latter will gradually change with the passage of time and the relaxation of mentality.

When Melen just got the Fairy Tale Kingdom, he was very excited. Then he almost suffered a loss in Farsail Port because of the power of the Endless Sea of Blood. This is the second time.

After some self-reflection, Mellen breathed a sigh of relief and continued on his way.

The forest is quiet, the path is deep, the mist is thick, and there are eerie sounds.

But none of these could stop Mellen. He continued to move forward calmly. About an hour later, the fog gradually dissipated and a bright light came from the front.

When I walked out of the forest, the sun was shining brightly, making me feel warm.

Mellen looked back and saw that the forest was still there, but it seemed to have lost its gloomy and eerie feeling.

Just then, a little squirrel ran up to Mellen and climbed onto his shoulder in a few seconds.

Melen did not sense any ill will, so he let the other party do what they wanted. However, what he was thinking at this time was that fortunately Little Red Lotus fell into a deep sleep and Nasus was far away in the Mountain and Sea Realm. Otherwise, his shoulders would always be the private territory of these two little guys, and he would never allow other beings to "touch" them.

The little squirrel came close to Mellen's face and sniffed it, then said, "Come with me, Mr. Wudi wants to see you."

Under the guidance of the little squirrel, Mellen moved along the road.

On the way, the little squirrel showed his extremely talkative side, and Melen was happy to talk to him in order to learn as much useful information as possible.

From the little squirrel, Melen also learned that Mr. Wu Di was the previous crow and the vice president of the Divine Heart War Academy.

Soon, Melen, led by the little squirrel, came to a villa, which was surrounded by various green plants and looked like a miniature natural scenic spot.

After thanking the little squirrel, the latter jumped onto a tree and disappeared.

Mellen arrived at the door of the villa. Before he could knock, the door opened directly. An old man looked at him with a smile and said, "Please come in."

When he came to the living room, Melen found that there were quite a few people here. In addition to Vice President Wu Di who opened the door for him, there were also six college tutors. They looked at Melen with surprise, as if they were appreciating some precious work of art.

Wu Di shrugged and said, "Don't get me wrong. It wasn't me who initially guided you through the entrance exam. It was Instructor Nick, who was on duty today. So, word of you spread among the instructors. They all wanted to meet you, so they came to me."

Mellen didn't care about this.

After introducing each other, they sat down and exchanged a few simple greetings before starting to talk about business.

Mellen said straight to the point, "I think you all are clear about my purpose. I want to obtain the inheritance of the [Divine Heart Warrior]. What are the conditions?"

The other mentors remained silent, looking at Wu Di, who smiled and said, "Young man, you're really impatient. But before I propose any conditions, I'd like to confirm one thing..."

"You said before that you weren't the messenger of that mythical being, but you were able to use his power. Was it because of some special reason? Could you elaborate on that?"

Mellen shook his head and said, "I have no comment on this."

Wu Di nodded, not being too surprised, and continued to ask, "Then could you please tell me what is your specific relationship with the mythical figure behind you?"

Mellen was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Friend."

Wu Di's pupils suddenly shrank, and the other mentors also looked horrified. It was obvious that the answer given by Melen was really beyond their expectations.

This is much more outrageous than Wu Di's guess that Melen is a descendant of a powerful mythical figure.

Resisting the urge to reconfirm, Wu Di exchanged glances with the other instructors and said, "Our request is simple. We hope to establish a connection with the mythical power behind you, so that we can receive the gift of mythical power at certain moments."

Melen raised his eyebrows. Combining what Wudi had said about the [Divine Heart Warrior] before the test, he immediately understood what he meant. He said, "You want to obtain the power of myth without believing in it?"

Wudi nodded in affirmation.

This condition was also negotiated within a short period of time after they contacted the dean, and it is the most favorable condition for the college.

The inheritance of the [Divine Heart Warrior] requires the use of mythical power. Although the Divine Heart War Academy has also obtained some mythical power, after so many years of use, that mythical power has become extremely thin.

The Divine Heart War Academy had long been preparing for a new source of mythical power, but had made no progress over the years.

Although there are remnants of mythological powers in those legendary places of war between gods, these mythological powers are complex and violent and cannot be used for the inheritance of [Divine Heart Warriors] at all.

Originally, the Divine Heart War Academy placed its hopes on the Temple of War God, but the latter could not disturb the slumber of the God of War because of this matter, so it kept dragging it on.

Now, Mellen has come to the door himself.
