High-Level Martial Era

"The Hall of Inheritance of the Fire System Divine?" Li Yuan thought to himself, not feeling too alarmed.

Based on his recent communication with Gu You, having become the direct disciple of the Ancient Torch Divine, the Boundary Spirit would surely treat him with great courtesy.

He might even be granted a certain level of authority.

Suddenly.

"Li Yuan, have you succeeded?" An excited voice came from not far away, followed by a figure clad in red, a striking silhouette who walked over from the corridors of the hall.

Li Yuan's eyes brightened at the sight.

It was Lin Lanyue.

But she had changed.

From high school to now, hardly a year had passed, and although they frequently met in the virtual network, especially around the time of Xu Bo's death, when they spent several days together.

Li Yuan had already noticed the change in Lin Lanyue's temperament, becoming more heroic, but that was still a subtle change.

Until today.

As they met again.

Lin Lanyue was not the kind of stunning beauty, but she had completely shed her high school immaturity, undergoing a profound transformation.

Her temperament was very special.

Subconsciously, Li Yuan thought of Gu You.

This was a completely different kind of aura. Gu You had the pure feel of a young girl with an additional touch of coldness that made people not want to profane... Lin Lanyue, on the other hand, was the opposite, standing there as if radiating endless fervor.

Of course.

Li Yuan had to admit that if he were to compare the two, Lin Lanyue still fell much short.

But she was far superior to many other women Li Yuan had seen.

Their gazes collided.

"Lanyue, you're actually here?" Li Yuan also smiled - his trip to the World within Worlds, where he received the Divine Being Inheritance, was an unexpected joy.

He had originally only planned to rescue Lin Lanyue.

But looking at the current situation, Li Yuan vaguely understood that she might no longer need his rescue.

...

It was a reunion after a long separation, and in such a scene, both of them felt something unusual.

"Lanyue, did you know I was coming?" Li Yuan thought of what Lin Lanyue had said earlier.

"Yes."

"The Boundary Spirit told me about you, said that you went to accept the Earth System Divine Being Inheritance... It seems that you have succeeded." Lin Lanyue revealed a smile, seemingly happy for Li Yuan.

"That Earth System Divine Being is even more powerful than my mentor." Lin Lanyue said.

"Mentor? You have taken a Fire System Divine Being as your master?" Li Yuan's eyes lit up.

"Mm, but just as a name-registered disciple." Lin Lanyue smiled, "In this regard, I am far inferior to you. I was able to become a disciple not because of talent or comprehension, but because of bloodline compatibility."

"Bloodline?" Li Yuan became even more puzzled.

Until now, he had guessed that Lin Lanyue might have received or was in the process of receiving the Fire System Divine Being Inheritance.

But only because of the bloodline? This was something Li Yuan had not anticipated.

"Come over and take a seat, I'll explain it to you slowly." Lin Lanyue said with a smile.

"Alright." Although Li Yuan had intentions of sending the news of his survival back to the Seven Star Alliance, he wasn't in a hurry to do so.

Lin Lanyue led the way.

Li Yuan followed, and the two quickly arrived at an auxiliary hall.

There was a cushion here – clearly a Quiet Chamber.

"You take a seat, I'll just sit on the ground." Li Yuan said with a laugh.

...

They both sat down.

Then, Lin Lanyue began to narrate her story.

"This Fire System Divine Being, is it a True Phoenix?" Li Yuan listened to Lin Lanyue's story, feeling an unknown shock in his heart: "Born a divine being?"

"Yes."

"She once followed that powerful Earth System Divine Being." Lin Lanyue spoke thoughtfully: "The True Phoenix is part of an extremely terrifying Divine Beast clan in the dimensional rivers."

"Each True Phoenix, after a thousand years, can rely on its bloodline to gradually grow into a divine being. They are innately Divine Beasts, destined to achieve godhood."

"Impressive, indeed." Li Yuan said earnestly.

Born destined for godhood?

Divine Beasts are truly something else.

"Don't worry too much about one's origin. Having a superior birth means innate potential." A gentle voice sounded around them: "But even those of humble beginnings can aspire to godhood, or even become one of the most powerful beings among the divine, like your mentor, Li Yuan."

"And like you, Li Yuan. If you become a god in the future, you will likely be much more powerful than my master."

"Boundary Spirit?" Li Yuan looked around instinctively.

The voice was familiar, indeed the voice of the Boundary Spirit he had encountered before.

"Boundary Spirit will not appear." Lin Lanyue said helplessly: "It only occasionally hears our conversation and drops a few hints."

Li Yuan nodded, understanding.

"In the beginning, when this Star Realm was newly created and unstable, my mentor was severely injured and unable to escape further, fearing pursuit from enemies... so she took the opportunity to control the World within Worlds, descending into this Star Realm." Lin Lanyue said: "She merged the World within Worlds into the core of the Star Realm... and thus concealed it."

"Before dying, my mentor stripped away her bloodline from her own body, splitting it in two, and preserved it."

"This is the Fierce Feather Star Realm."

"In an unstable Star Realm, Divine Beings could descend." Lin Lanyue continued: "Until a hundred years ago, when the Fierce Feather Star Realm finally stabilized, no Divine Beings could descend any longer... that's when the World within Worlds came into being."

Li Yuan suddenly understood.

A newly formed Star Realm, with its incomplete operating rules, cannot fend off Divine Beings.

"Ultimately."

"Among the first group of Prime Warriors who explored the Star Realm, the Boundary Spirit chose my ancestor 'Flame City', who naturally had a very high compatibility with the True Phoenix bloodline." Lin Lanyue said: "He inherited that incomplete 'True Phoenix Bloodline' and quickly rose to become a Demigod."

Li Yuan sighed.

So it turned out, the rise of the Demigod Flame City was due to inheriting an incomplete True Phoenix bloodline.

"And then."

"Feixing held the Blazing Flame Family, and what's known as the 'Blazing Flame Bloodline' actually contains a trace of the True Phoenix Bloodline." Lin Lanyue continued: "Even with just a trace of the bloodline, once awakened, it's enough to gradually turn us into Flying Heaven Level beings."
