Swallowed Star: The Original Secret Realm

Chapter 224 The Battle for Succession

On that scenic island, the Spaceship.

The general, who had been listening in, couldn't help but speak up in support of his old comrades.

When Gan Yan heard the general mention him first, he couldn't help but feel a surge of pride, thinking to himself that "he was the first to speak."

But the general's second half of his sentence.

"Having just entered the realm of Eternal True God, my inheritance isn't very good!"

It directly pulled him back to reality from his beautiful imagination.

His face immediately turned awkward, and his already gaunt cheeks became even more sallow.

This scene was witnessed by a group of eternal true gods nearby. Then, they burst into unrestrained laughter.

"Hahaha……"

Laughter echoed across the island.

Even the general himself couldn't help but smile.

"Young King, please don't be offended. This group of people has long since perished. Their virtual consciousnesses would have given up long ago if they hadn't been searching for a good successor."

"They usually have a good relationship. Only by constantly teasing and joking with each other can they find some fun and keep going until now."

“Yes, I understand.” Zhang Yi nodded; he could empathize with her.

It had already perished, and if it weren't for a lingering sense of conviction in its heart, even its virtual consciousness would have given way long ago.

"However, although Gan Yan's inheritance is the weakest among this group of eternal true gods, his requirements are probably also the lowest," the general added.

“Yes, young king, my requirements are very low. You still need to find someone for me first, preferably the most outstanding person in your clan besides yourself, and bring them over so I can take a look.” Gan Yan quickly chimed in.

Zhang Yi glanced at him, and having already gained some understanding of Gan Yan's personality, he didn't say anything more.

"And then there are the others." The general then introduced the lineages of several other eternal true gods.

Overall, the quality of their inheritance is very high, with several reaching the Chaos Realm.

It should be noted that even on the Origin Continent, ordinary Eternal True Gods have no way of accessing the Chaos Sovereign's legacy, let alone finding a successor for it.

"As for the last one," the general had already reached the corner of the stone table and stood in front of a blue-haired man. He paused for a moment before speaking, "Although this one is also only an Eternal True God, he is no ordinary person."

"Not only is its strength not far from mine, reaching the limit of the Eternal True God, but its lineage of Duan Donghe once produced a super strong person who was even considered a super strong person in my civilization. He was one of the most outstanding people in my Wu Kingdom, the right-hand man of the King of Wu, and was even given the title of 'Holy King'."

Even the general looked on with admiration when this person was mentioned.

He had sought the title of 'Saint' for countless years without success. As for being granted the title of 'King,' that would truly be the pinnacle of achievement.

“He must be the third-generation patriarch of the Duan Donghe lineage.” Based on the general’s description, Zhang Yi had already determined the identity of this being.

"As for the one in front of me, he is the 192nd generation successor of the Duan Donghe lineage, and he has been given the title of 'Wu', which is very rare even among the Eternal True Gods."

His full name is Duan Donghe Zhenkan Wu.

The general continued, "Indeed, it's the Duan Donghe lineage!"
I never expected to meet Duan Donghe here, in this kind of setting.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yi took the initiative to speak, "I can't guarantee anything about others, but don't worry about Duan Donghe, I will choose the most suitable successor for you."

He thought to himself: "Once Luo Feng is born and grows up, I'll bring him here to receive Duan Donghe's inheritance. This way, I can leave this divine king's legacy among the human race and also fulfill Duan Donghe's wish—a win-win situation."

“Then I thank you in advance, Young King,” said the blue-haired man, Duan Donghe, then paused, “However, let me make this clear: if he cannot pass the basic test I set, I will not pass on the inheritance to him.”

"Don't worry about that, I guarantee you'll be satisfied." Zhang Yi smiled mysteriously, offering no further explanation.

"Young King, you can't be biased. Find some for us too."

"Yes."

"Our lineage may not be as strong as that of the Duan Donghe lineage, but our requirements are also lower."

Hearing Zhang Yi promise to find a good successor for the Duan Donghe lineage, the others also began to get anxious.

"Seniors, don't worry, you'll all get it," Zhang Yilian said. "Here's what I'll do: I'll send you a copy of the information on talented individuals above the Immortal level in my human race. Take a look first."

Soon, Zhang Yi obtained a document through his teacher, the Chaos City Lord, in the virtual universe. It contained information on almost all the powerful beings above the Immortal level.

Looking at the list, Zhang Yi felt a headache coming on. Although he did not explain the specific purpose of the list, each of the five major powers' universe lords was a shrewd person. They knew that he was probably up to something, so they all tried their best to put the strongest people in their respective powers into the list.

The Lord of Chaos City couldn't very well refuse outright, which resulted in almost all of the human race's immortal-level powerhouses being on the list.

"Forget it, let those eternal true gods have a headache," Zhang Yi thought. The Chaos City Lord had thrown the problem at him, so he could only pass the buck.

A light screen appeared above the stone table, displaying information on the strongest members of the human race. The information was extremely detailed, including their strength, cultivation time, and the laws they were proficient in, along with specific battle scenes and images of them comprehending the laws.

Although this list contains countless powerful figures, making it incredibly vast, all those present were eternal true gods before their fall. Even a virtual consciousness could only review this information in a moment.

“This one called the Chaos City Lord can create a complete set of top-tier fifth-order secret techniques. He has good potential. He can try my inheritance test.” said an Eternal True God with long black eyebrows.

Zhang Yi's eyes lit up; this person possessed a Chaos Overlord-level inheritance.

“No, I’ve also taken a liking to this Chaos City Lord. Try him out here first.” A voice rang out.

Zhang Yi looked up at the owner of the voice, who also possessed a Chaos Overlord-level inheritance.

"Young King, summon the Lord of Chaos City to me. I will give him the inheritance directly," Gan Yan shouted, looking smug. "Their inheritance has many restrictions, so their word doesn't count. My inheritance is up to me."

"You, Yan, are so shameless."

"Having a good successor is more important than saving face," Gan Yan retorted.

Watching the group of Eternal True Gods frantically vying for the Chaos City Lord's teacher, Zhang Yi couldn't help but sigh. No wonder Shi Lun had praised the teacher before; the teacher's potential was indeed great.

Among human races, he is second only to him and the progenitor.

"I want this Lord of Darkness." After arguing for a long time without any result, Gan Yan changed his target again.

"And that guy called Master Peng is not bad either."
