I don't want to come up with a funny book title anymore.

"This all starts with the origin of the Xuanyuan Sword."

"It does not belong to anyone in the tomb, so there is no corresponding trial."

"It appeared in the tomb on its own; when I found it, it had already become part of the rules."

"However, it has never appeared before any heir over the years."

"So I don't understand its intention either."

"Until you show up."

"You didn't choose it at first, but it just happened to fall into your hands."

"At that moment, I understood that it was made for you."

The spirit's voice rose and fell in cadence as it recounted the whole story.

As Xie Fengnan listened, he felt a strong sense of destiny.

For a long time, even Xia didn't know what he was thinking.

However, Xie Fengnan quickly regained his relaxed demeanor. "So, are we just going to watch the show? How about some sunflower seeds, peanuts, cola, and popcorn?"

"Watching a show? You could say that." The tomb spirit quickly agreed. "What are you referring to?"

Tomb spirits originated in ancient times; they didn't exist back then.

Those who enter the tomb obviously wouldn't bring these things with them, let alone take them out for amusement.

Xia helped me create this system, and all I can say is, the "group favorite system" is truly amazing.

These were Xie Fengnan's inner thoughts, but Xia, who heard them, certainly couldn't pretend she hadn't heard them.

"(?ˉ??ˉ??)"

As mentioned earlier, there are corresponding trials.

In the Baichuan Cemetery, with a few exceptions, almost every reputable lineage or treasured equipment has a trial designed by the mastermind behind it all.

This trial provides a competitive platform for everyone who wants an opportunity.

Based on their performance in the trials, this opportunity will be awarded to whomever they choose.

The process generally consists of three steps: projecting a physical object to entice everyone to participate in the trial—

A successor was determined after a contest.

The heir arrives at a grand, small space to obtain the physical object—

Therefore, Xie Fengnan skipped the first two steps and obtained the Xuanyuan Sword.

Moreover, when ordinary people come to the small space, they can only see the light that represents that opportunity, instead of being like Xie Fengnan, who comes to buy goods and can choose any item he wants.

So in fact, if the Xuanyuan Sword were willing, it could even allow Xie Fengnan to take everything away from here.

That's right, the rule that Xie Fengnan could only choose one item was set by Xuanyuan Sword using its rules.

Xie Fengnan himself was unaware of this, and the tomb spirit had no intention of revealing it.

Although she hinted at it, it shouldn't be considered an exposure, right?

The tomb spirit, munching on sunflower seeds, affirmed its own existence.

By the way, the "inheritance" setting in this article is not the kind of martial arts techniques or mental cultivation methods found in fantasy novels, but rather a unique skill or something like a certain fighting method or a certain wrestling method. It's too painful to come up with a name.

"Opportunity" is a general term for "inheritance," "treasure," and "equipment" in an uncertain timeframe. "Treasure" refers to herbs and the like in their original state. "Equipment" not only refers to weapons and armor but also items with special abilities. I wrote these two paragraphs to express that we are not following the traditional fantasy setting.

Back to the main text.

Xie Fengnan sipped his cola and then turned his gaze to the person who looked familiar but was actually a stranger.

The trial he participated in didn't have many participants, but they were all elite military academy students with their own strengths.

This trial...

"Sister, what is the significance of this light screen?"

"This is the Time Mirror."

(Xia, is there any science information available?)

"Searching, host."

"The Mirror of Time is said to know everything and understand everything."

Whether it's the past, present, or future, everything can be seen through the Time Mirror.

(Really? There's such a good thing?)

However, Xie Fengnan had a gut feeling that this thing was not simple, so he chose to activate his skill and ask questions when he didn't understand.

"Sister, what's it for?"

The tomb spirit's explanation was exactly the same as Xia's answer, but she paused for a moment and then said, "To activate the Time Mirror, you need to consume your own lifespan."

"The amount consumed is not something you can decide; rather, the Time Mirror weighs it according to the time you want to see."

"Once you agree to the exchange, the process is unstoppable and irreversible. In other words, there is a possibility that you could be completely drained without ever seeing the answer."

"Only its owner can activate this ability, but it does not only absorb the owner's lifespan, which is one of the reasons why it is classified as extremely ominous."

"Although the Time Mirror has a very high standard and disdains the lifespan of ordinary people, you understand the principle that quantitative change leads to qualitative change, right?"

Xie Fengnan realized that this thing not only cost him his own life, but also the lives of others.

But why would he want that? Does he think he has too much life?

Xie Fengnan frowned as he looked at the person in the light screen.

Tsk, how come their faces don't look alike at all? If they jump out to claim kinship, won't they be mistaken for idiots and get beaten up?

Then he performed a skit about not underestimating a young person's poverty, and not underestimating a middle-aged person's poverty...

As Xie Fengnan's mind wandered, a fragment of memory flashed through his mind: "A gentle breeze blows from the south, rustling through the thorny bushes. Baby, do you like the name Xie Fengnan?"

"Your older brother's name is Xie Xinghe."

"The Milky Way shines brightly, and the seas are calm and the rivers are clear."
