Legend: One corpse-picking message per day

The Dragon Kingdom's First Line Bichon City Royal Palace...

Many guild players gathered here, waiting for the return of the second batch of Divine Trial inheritors.

Those waiting here, besides the high-ranking members of various guilds, are mostly the relatives of the three thousand players who entered the trial.

Everyone's face was filled with anxiety, anticipation, and a deep sense of unease, fear, and worry...

When the first batch entered, the families weren't so anxious because the rules of the world had changed.

Many people will feel much more relaxed.

However, after the first batch of results came out, the mortality rate reached 80%.

Such a high mortality rate made the second batch of players' families extremely nervous.

Although the vast majority of people do it voluntarily, who would want their child to die?
As the time drew closer, everyone stared wide-eyed with tension, biting their lips tightly, barely daring to breathe...

Time's up...

The first warrior player has appeared!

One dream determines three lifetimes!

This is a slightly handsome player from the Holy Dragon Guild. His face shows a mix of exhaustion and excitement, as well as a sense of relief after surviving a calamity.

"younger brother!!"

An excited exclamation!

A female player, also from the Holy Dragon Guild, appeared in front of the man as if flying.

She hugged him tightly!
"Waaaaah... Thank goodness! You're back!"

"Sis, it's okay, I did it! It's okay, it's okay... 555..."

"A Dream Predestined for Three Lifetimes" comforted her sister, but as she spoke, she couldn't help but start convulsing herself.

This was extremely dangerous; so many people died...

Seeing this, the people around them all showed joy; it was a good omen.

Then, the players started to come out one after another.

Instantly, countless players rushed forward, and upon seeing their loved ones, they excitedly embraced them...

"elder brother!"

"elder sister!"

"younger brother!"

"cousin!"

……

With each call, the players who had not yet seen their loved ones grew increasingly tense, clenching their fists tightly.

Once the last person came out and it was confirmed that there were no other players, the players who hadn't been waiting for their loved ones instantly broke down.

The sound of crying erupted instantly...

So many people have died, more than last time...

The mortality rate was 80% in the first batch, but this time it has jumped to 90%!

Three thousand players participated in the Trial of Divine Inheritance, but only three hundred succeeded!

Everyone else is dead...

The entire royal palace of Beech City was shrouded in gloom and despair...

Those players who were initially excitedly celebrating their loved ones' success no longer dared to show their joy and began to cry as well...

It’s so tragic…

He Sheng also learned of the news immediately.

It was Qinghong and the others who told him.

Of the twenty members of the Marfa Alliance, only three succeeded.

The entire army of the Xuanyuan Dynasty was wiped out.

Of the fifteen members of the Undying Dynasty, only one survived...

Only one-tenth of the Holy Dragon Guild members survived.

"How could this be? Are the odds so different?" He Sheng was secretly shocked.

No one could answer him...

Qinghong, Yujie, and the other girls also looked grim, after all, many of the dead were people they knew.

He lit one, took a deep breath, and was somewhat glad that he hadn't acted rashly and tried it.

Despite having a system, is he truly the protagonist of this era?

He didn't dare to gamble.

After a long silence, he solemnly instructed:

"You mustn't try it, I forbid you to go."

“Okay, I’ll listen to you,” Qinghong was the first to agree.

Qiao'er and Xiao Mei followed closely behind.

Yu Jie and Qian Qian nodded in agreement. They had capable men waiting for them, and their future was bright. There was no need to take any risks.

Saint Dragon Xiao Wan'er looked sad; this time, she had lost many friends.

After everyone sighed a few more times, He Sheng frowned and said:
Why are the odds so low this time?

All the women shook their heads, then looked at Shenglong Xiaowan'er.

Saint Dragon Xiao Wan'er shook her head: "I'm not too sure either, but inheriting the divine legacy is indeed very dangerous."

How dangerous?

He Sheng secretly instructed Qing Hong to inquire, "How did you inherit it?"

He Sheng couldn't ask directly, because everyone assumed he had inherited the divine legacy, and asking would expose his secret.

After a moment of silence, Shenglong Xiaowan'er looked at He Sheng, seemingly wondering why he wasn't speaking.
Seeing He Sheng looking away, she organized her thoughts.

After a long while, he finally said:

"The monsters in that map aren't too strong; if a skilled player is there to guide you, you'll be fine."

Even if killed by a monster, you can revive.

"Ah, how could someone die?" Immortal Qianqian asked in confusion.

Saint Dragon Xiao Wan'er continued to explain: "Most importantly, there are multiple altars inside."

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth; Wind, Thunder, Light, Darkness! Chaos!

Ten Great Altars!

When players choose to sit on the altar, they will receive divine blessings.

The pain was worse than death during the ordeal...

Those who can withstand the pressure will succeed.

Failure, death.

The entire transmission process takes twelve hours.

The corpses will reappear one day later outside the world they were in before entering it.

So this is ah……

Now, He Sheng finally had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Previously, Sweet Orange said she would show him a video, but it turned out that it couldn't record.

He was so engrossed in his relationship with Qinghong at the time that he didn't ask any questions, nor did he feel comfortable asking.

Now I finally have a general understanding.

Yu Jie and the other women, including Qing Hong, also had drastic changes in expression upon hearing this. After all, the inheritance of gods was a new thing, and it was the first time they had heard about the specific process.

Imagine the feeling of being infused with immense power; everyone couldn't help but shudder.

"It really hurt a lot, but I gritted my teeth and endured it."

"Are you... alright?" He Sheng asked softly, extending his hand.

Saint Dragon Xiao Wan'er was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a second, and then grabbed his hand.

She leaned against his shoulder and murmured, "I'm fine, but I'm still a little scared every time I think about it."

I had a nightmare last night.

At that time, I was completely numb with pain, my mind was blank, and all I could see was your image. I don't know how I managed to get through it.

After saying this, Shenglong Xiaowan'er closed her eyes, her face burning and flushed...

It really hurt at the time.

But the image of He Sheng being reduced to mere shadows in pain is a lie.

He Sheng seemed to want to take things to the next level, so she went along with it.

Since she was looking for a husband anyway, she had already decided on He Sheng...

“It’s alright…it’s all over now…” He Sheng gently hugged her.

"Hmm... I heard you are a dual-divine inheritor, your will is truly..."

At this point, Shenglong Xiaowan'er didn't continue, but her eyes were full of endless admiration as she looked at He Sheng.

A single divine inheritance nearly cost her her life.

This man succeeded twice, that's amazing!
Yu Jie and the others also looked at He Sheng, their eyes filled with overwhelming, passionate love...

He Sheng touched his nose and chuckled foolishly.

He certainly wouldn't deny it, otherwise there would be no way to explain it.

However, the high mortality rate this time is both a good thing and a bad thing for him.

The good thing is that in the future, not just anyone will be able to receive divine inheritance.

This will result in a significant decrease in the number of skilled individuals.

Then the threat to him wouldn't be so great. The downside is that he'd be even less likely to test the waters.

We'll just have to wait and see.

Yes, I had previously completed a portion of the power of the rules, which led to the update of this world and reduced the difficulty of divine inheritance.

If the power of rules is added later to complete the puzzle, will the difficulty be further reduced?

If it's lowered...

Well, it would be best to reduce the risk to zero...

If outsiders knew his thoughts, they would definitely be a little confused as to whether he preferred high or low risk.

What He Sheng truly hoped for was:

Either the risk is too high, because he dares not go, so naturally he hopes for the highest possible outcome, which results in fewer inheritors of divine power.

Either there's no risk!

In a risk-free scenario, a large number of divine inheritors will emerge.

But by then, He Sheng himself could also become a successor of the divine spirit.

With the system's VIP features, he can still dominate and be invincible among his peers!
Unlike now, when a large number of divine inheritors have emerged, although he could easily handle dozens of them.

Even with hundreds or thousands of people, he wouldn't be able to handle it.

Therefore, he is very concerned about the chances of divine inheritance.

After thinking for a moment, He Sheng still privately messaged Lao Zhou, guessing that he might know something about the situation.

"You found out so quickly? Oh, Yu Jie and the others told you, right?" Zhou Xiangbo asked curiously, then understood.

"Hmm, does Master know the reason?"

"Yes, we have a general idea."

"How so?" He Sheng asked curiously.

"The divine transmission inside only lasted twelve hours, so they carefully investigated those who died and those who were still alive."

Something unusual was discovered.

"Ah? What's going on?"

"All those who become the inheritors of the divine have one thing in common:"
That is, in the past, it was much easier for them to receive divine blessings than for those who died.

In other words, these people are all geniuses.

Those who died also had much weaker talents.

Can you understand what I'm saying?

He Sheng nodded: "Yes, I understand. This place is like a cultivation world, with divine blessings, divine skills, and even equipment drops, just like cultivation talents."

He had heard Yu Jie and the others talk about this idea before.

"Okay, I'm glad you understand."

In other words, a certain level of talent is required to inherit the divine legacy.

Otherwise, the mortality rate would be extremely high.

Those who entered last time were all players carefully selected by the guild; although it was by lottery, they were all elites.

This time, many of those who entered were not particularly talented.

They are just ordinary players who want to try their luck.

Many of them lack talent.

Therefore, after screening and comparison, the mortality rate was much higher.

"Oh, no wonder..."

He Sheng finally understood completely.

At the same time, a weight was lifted from his heart.

It seems that not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can become a successor of the gods; otherwise, that would be too beneath them.

What he feared most was that there were no talent requirements, so those big guilds would treat people like dirt and force them to join.

That would create many inheritors of divine power...

Things are different now...

With this thought in mind, his mood instantly improved, and he continued fighting monsters with the women...

……

Meanwhile, in the Beech City Palace on another route...

A series of deafening roars...

"Grass!!"

"what happened?"

"How could so many people have died?!"

"Two thousand people, and only 20 succeeded?!"

"Twenty alive?!?"

"Oh no!!!"

……

The anger was vented by the higher-ups of the "gentle pleasure quarters"!
This time, their organization forced two thousand people to enter the inheritance process, but only twenty survived.

Such a low probability completely terrified them!

Not knowing what the problem was, all I could do was keep yelling and cursing.

The most frustrating thing is that the dream of becoming a master strategist has been shattered...

Soon, they also learned the real reason from the authorities.

"Not talented enough? Damn it!!"

The higher-ups at the "gentle haven" were speechless.

They can force a large number of ordinary players to enter, but their ultimate goal is to cultivate a large number of divine inheritors.

But now there's still one person who doesn't have enough talent.

This stumped them.

Keep going, there aren't that many geniuses to waste.

If I don't do it, the world will change in the future, and I still want to reach the top of the thirteenth-level guild.

We can't do without a strong reserve force...

……

At the same time, all the major powers in the world were completely dumbfounded.

Their losses this time were equally enormous, almost on par with those from the "gentle pleasure quarters."

Because many of those who voluntarily take the risk are basically not very skilled and are disappointed with the Legend of Mir.

Thinking of taking a gamble and turning a bicycle into a motorcycle.

Little did I know there was a talent hurdle involved...

And this news spread like wildfire throughout the world, reaching He Sheng's ears...

"Hehe, honey, the foreign inheritors of the divine power have suffered even greater losses."

"Of the more than 1500 people in the Western Alliance, only a little over 50 succeeded," Qinghong reported first, as if seeking credit.

"Oh, that's terrible?!" He Sheng and the women were shocked.

"That's right, the talent they went to wasn't of high quality," explained Shenglong Xiaowan'er.

"Tsk tsk, do they dare to send more people later?" He Sheng said with a hint of schadenfreude.

"It will definitely continue. As long as you are here, they will have to keep sending people to take over."

He understood.

Indeed, those people all regarded him as a potential enemy.

It's not impossible that if the higher-ups disregard the lives of others and create a large number of divine inheritors.

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye...

Over the past three days, various online platforms have been discussing the matter of divine inheritance.

The mortality rate is extremely high!
90%!

This data is enough to terrify countless people!
Many people tremble when this issue is mentioned.

so horrible!

Many people say they wouldn't try anything no matter how good it is.

Even in each country, player alliances were formed to oppose inheriting divine legacies.

They strongly opposed the upper echelons demanding that those below inherit the mantle.

He Sheng was speechless when he heard the news, although he was happy to hear it.

Players are living too comfortably.

In the legendary world, the guaranteed resurrection after death has extinguished the true fighting spirit of many.

However, upon closer reflection, it makes sense, as lifespan is indeed very long.

There was no immediate crisis...

Although alien races and black rain have appeared in the outside world, the majority of humanity is actually safe under the protection of top experts.

This makes many people unwilling to fight to the death...

"Good night"
