No, it’s not an inheritance at all.

But an outright lie!

The power of the Ancient God Clan is not inherited, but actively bestowed by the Primordial.

Just like how the Primordials created the Ancient God Clan when the universe first began.

The Primordial granted the possibility of awakening to people, but also collected their souls.

The so-called inheritance path itself is an alchemy matrix so profound it’s beyond comprehension. It has always operated on Earth, watching every soul qualified for evolution, granting them spiritual power to mature, and claiming them upon their death.

The purpose is for today!

Skylark turned and looked, as the Candle Light Divine Tree manifested the inheritance path, its majestic trunk collapsed again, and blood like magma surged out in torrents.

Under the intervention of the Third Law Power, the Candle Light Divine Tree was near death.

But the matrix of the inheritance path had already manifested, and at this moment, billions of souls opened their eyes, tore through the illusory Light Cocoon with their bare hands, like newborn infants.

Their eyes were fixed on Gangrenboqi Peak, empty yet devout.

This was the awakening ritual of the Candle Light God, with billions of souls as sacrifices. The world of the Ancestor Star would completely merge with Earth, whereupon the civilizations built by humans on that land would be turned to ashes, all life enslaved and controlled, becoming nourishment!

At this moment, the ethereal mist trembled again, deep within it seemed to light up a golden sun, soaring like a meteor to the sky, shaking the void.

"That child is truly stubborn."

Vermilion Bird Venerate sensed the most intense meaning, his eternally calm eyes showing a hint of shock: "Even if it’s mutual destruction, won’t let me have my wish?"

The shock was due to feeling the source of that power.

It was actually the power of Candle Light!

Indeed, sorrow and anger are the best nutrients!

Gu Jianlin in a brief moment comprehended the world’s most powerful mystery.

The Ancient Divine Language of the Candle Light God!

With a deafening roar, the mist was torn apart, as the burning young Supreme soared to the sky, his palm seemingly holding a burning sun, obliterating all obstacles, rushing fiercely!

The scorching wind rushed in, scorching Vermilion Bird Venerate’s long hair.

Skylark saw clearly that burning boy, those ebony eyes had vanished, no longer could anyone see the clean world in his pupils, including his loneliness and sorrow, only the burning anger remained.

In such a brief time, he seemed to have completely transformed into another person!

This world has failed all his expectations.

So the last bit of his humanity vanished as well.

Strictly speaking, Gu Jianlin had already disappeared from this world.

Only Qilin Venerable remained.

And the one who personally killed that boy, was precisely them!

"I think our struggle can wait until after resolving it."

Vermilion Bird Venerate said indifferently: "This is our common enemy."

Only to see him raise his right hand against the scorching wind, pointing one finger.

Skylark’s eyes flickered with strange light, making the same gesture!

Tens of thousands of souls turned to gaze at the soaring boy, uttering a syllable together, it was an ancient deep language, akin to Brahman sounds!

Boom!

Before the Candle Light Divine Tree, a barrier piercing the heavens gathered, seemingly composed of countless twisted branches intertwined, isolating the burning Qilin Venerable!

Qilin Venerable hovered in mid-air, his throat also uttering a strange syllable, his right hand slowly clenched into a fist, his five fingers piercing the illusory sun, pouring out billions of sunlight!

Boom!

A punch landed, and a crack appeared on that towering barrier!

Billions of souls trembled momentarily, their eyes empty and indifferent.

And at this moment, Qilin Venerable’s body burned into char, the charred flesh scattered like ashes, just like the bygone King of Qing!

His life was fading.

Yet the power of this punch reverberated through the entire world, causing even the two strongest beings beneath the Golden Tree to feel tremendous shock, their faces turning pale!

Vermilion Bird Venerate clutched his chest, feeling the soul-piercing pain. He raised a hand, touched the corner of his mouth, golden blood flowing out, so scalding.

"Have you completely abandoned reason?"

He whispered: "Qilin."

"The spirituality of the Seventh Rank isn’t enough to sustain such tremendous power."

Skylark wiped away the dragon blood from her vermilion lips, raised her right hand and clenched it into a fist again, leveraging the power of the Candle Light Divine Tree: "Give up, if you continue, you’ll die."

Vermilion Bird Venerate glanced at her, surprised.

Because this woman forcibly changed his control over Candle Light Power!

With a deafening roar, billions of souls uttered a syllable again. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The branches of the Candle Light Divine Tree twisted and reversed, like a cage that could imprison the heaven and earth. No matter where the Qilin Venerable fled, it was meaningless; he could only be trapped within!

The Vermilion Bird Venerate could only clasp her hands and utter a syllable again.

Blood seeped from the tightly clenched right hand of the Skylark, and the domain of the prison shrank violently!

Under the cooperation of two Supreme Levels, the Qilin Venerable was about to be swallowed by endless light!

However, in the midst of it all, a cold voice rang out.

"I don’t need your mercy."

Bam!

Another punch blasted out, shattering the prison of Candle Light with a single strike!

This punch of the Qilin Venerable was like the toll of an Ancient Bell, echoing in the silent desolate world. Every soul in the Inheritance Path felt the shock and became illusory!

In the shattered light, a boy burning to the extreme dived down with decisive killing intent.

As if to perish together with the jade and stone.

The Candle Light Divine Tree instinctively sensed the threat and released an intense sunlight, bursting towards the falling boy in the sky. The entire world was enveloped in endless light.

Amid the violent rumbling, the Qilin Venerable tore light with light. Even though his body was scorched to ashes, he did not retreat, and within his terrifying burning eye sockets brewed boundless rage!

Skylark raised her head, gazing at that familiar yet unfamiliar figure. The rushing scorching wind singed her bangs. Such complete and utter killing intent even made her have to be moved.

It was the killing intent that wished to destroy everything, to perish together with the jade and stone.

Towards her.

Towards the Vermilion Bird.

And towards this world.

Unleashing fury.

Yet despite this, she showed no intention of backing away, only staring at him intently.

As if she wanted to remember his appearance until death.

"Then let’s perish together with the jade and stone."

The Vermilion Bird Venerate surprisingly revealed a faint smile and raised her right hand again.

The Candle Light Divine Tree’s light shone, but then abruptly went out.

He turned around, looking at the woman who raised her hand, and spoke not a word.

"Even now, you still can’t bring yourself to be ruthless?"

He asked softly.

Skylark did not pay him any mind. Clearly, this was the opportunity of life and death, the best countermeasure was to mobilize all the power of the Candle Light Divine Tree to prevent the descent of the angry God.

But the power the Vermilion Bird Venerate attempted to summon was blocked by her.

They jointly orchestrated the Primordial power, despite being stronger or weaker, they ultimately influenced each other.

"It seems it’s time for everything to be revealed."

The Vermilion Bird Venerate gazed at her exquisitely beautiful profile and enunciated each word: "The time has come."

With a rumble!

The collapsing earth unexpectedly ceased its roaring at this moment.

The Xuanming Venerable actually stopped damaging the Candle Light Divine Tree.

And in the sky, a sigh echoed.

Above the endless mist, Bai Ze Venerable used his ethereal wings to shield against the sunlight descending from the sky. His body, however, began to shatter inch by inch at this moment, turning into ashes.

At this moment, there was no pain or despair in his eyes.

Only tranquility.

Calmly accepting all this.

"Indeed, this path is not feasible."

A vague wind blew, and the body of Bai Ze Venerable, disintegrated in the void!

Everything has already been revealed.

The Vermilion Bird Venerate spoke indifferently: "To adapt to the Third Law, one must undergo an even greater rebirth, like returning to our initial human form. Bai Ze and Xuanming attempting to defy heaven was merely a foolish act of violating the rules."

"We are the final answer."

He paused: "Sister, it’s time to wake up from your life."

At this moment, Skylark finally felt herself being devoured by another soul.

No, it was not devouring.

But awakening.

Just like Gu Ci’an’s awakening in that storm.
