I'm the emperor from the start, and you want me to keep the three-year agreement?

"You defeated the young True God?"

"One-minute speedrun of the Flame God Tower?"

The Flame Brilliance Clan's goat-men were dumbfounded upon seeing Lin Ning emerge.

"Huh? Is the Flame God Tower broken? Why did he come out in less than a minute, and with a completion sound effect?"

"Impossible! No one in history has ever cleared the True God difficulty of the Flame God Tower! Even the first Holy Master couldn't gain an advantage against his own mirrored clone!"

The crowd surrounded Lin Ning, their eyes filled with doubt and curiosity. They were very curious as to why Lin Ning was able to come out so quickly.

"I defeated him, and then I came out. It's that simple," Lin Ning shrugged, his tone calm, as if talking about a daily occurrence.

Elder Yan Yanxi reached out and placed a hand on Lin Ning's forehead, "Huh? He doesn't have a fever, so why is he talking nonsense?"

"Old Yan, go take a look and see if there's something wrong with the Flame God Tower."

Hearing this, Elder Yan nodded and entered the Flame God Tower.

As an elder, he was very familiar with the Flame God Tower. Except for the last floor, he knew how to speedrun all the other floors.

In just one minute, he arrived at the last floor.

"How strange, how did that kid clear it?"

"Could it be that the effect of the Flame God Tower created by the ancestor many years ago is gone?"

A moment later.

Bang!

A figure flew out from the top of the Flame God Tower.

Bang!

The crowd surrounded Elder Yan, the latter's body half-submerged in magma.

"The young True God, he exists!"

"He, he really defeated the young True God just now!"

Having said that, Elder Yan fainted, sleeping peacefully.

That day, the Flame Brilliance Clan witnessed what a true genius was.

The challenger challenged the True God difficulty, but it wasn't Lin Ning whose Dao heart collapsed, but these goat-men of the Flame Brilliance Clan.

"Master, please stop trying to persuade me! Isn't it enough that I don't cultivate anymore?"

"I'm not cultivating anymore either. What's the point? A Qi Refining cultivator defeated a True God, defeating the strongest genius in the history of our Flame Brilliance Clan!"

"The first Holy Master couldn't even beat an eighteen-year-old Qi Refining cultivator. My mentality has exploded!"

Seeing everyone going crazy, Lin Ning lazily found a place to sit down.

"The young True God is a bit ordinary," Lin Ning carefully recalled the scene that had just occurred.

The young True God stood at the peak of the ninth floor. Even after hundreds of thousands of years, even though he was just a projection.

However, the pressure of a True God was real. Others, upon seeing this young True God, were so frightened that they dared not attack.

However, Lin Ning defeated the young True God with just two punches.

"Elder Yan, are you awake?" Lin Ning smiled.

Elder Yan, upon seeing Lin Ning's face, was so frightened that he almost fainted again.

"Wake up, it's too cold here. Let's find another place to sleep," Lin Ning said with a smile, "Or would you like a cup of magma to warm yourself up?"

Elder Yan suddenly sat up and exclaimed, "How did you defeat the young True God?"

"Simple, I used a left hook, a right hook, and he lost," Lin Ning laughed.

Elder Yan cursed, "Damn it."

They were unwilling to chat with Lin Ning anymore.

It was too bullying!

What do you mean, two punches to blow up your ancestor?

Ancestor held on, my fists are very fast?

Beep beep beep!

Harsh sounds rang out one after another as Shen Nian and Xiao Yuxuan walked out of the Flame God Tower one after another.

After successfully clearing the level, they received the rewards from the Flame God Tower.

"Little Ning, haven't you gone to clear the level yet?" Shen Nian asked in confusion, "These are all the rewards the Flame God Tower gave me. How about it, amazing, right?"

"And me, I got a divine artifact forging hammer, which will make it easier for me to forge weapons in the future," Xiao Yuxuan said with a smile, hugging the divine artifact.

Lin Ning said, "I already went in, and then I came out."

"I knew you could clear it," Shen Nian said with a smile, "So, what rewards did you get after clearing it?"

The Flame Brilliance Clan members came over upon hearing this. They gathered around.

For so many years, Lin Ning was still the first to successfully clear the True God difficulty of the Flame God Tower.

With such an achievement, the things given by the Flame God Tower should be a lot, right?

"Yeah, kid, tell us quickly, what good treasures did our charming old ancestor give you?"

"The Holy Master likes to encourage disciples to cultivate diligently. The things he gives are very precious. You are the first to clear the True God difficulty, so the rewards must be plentiful."

"Can you lend them to us for a look? No other meaning, just curious about what rewards the True God level gives."

Under everyone's attention, Lin Ning said, "There are no rewards."

"I defeated the young True God too quickly, so he didn't even have time to react before I left."

Elder Yan Yanxi frowned and said, "What he said is technically correct, but why do I want to hit him after hearing it?"

"Me too," Elder Yan said, "This kid's words are too infuriating, I can't stand it!"

"Hey, look, the Holy Maiden has cleared it!"

Seeing the light flashing in the distance, accompanied by the harsh sound, everyone's attention was once again diverted.

The elders gathered around Nali.

"How was it? Did you see the projection of the Old Holy Master?"

"You cleared it so quickly, you must be the Holy Maiden, right?"

Nali's eyes were red, causing the elders to be at a loss.

"Don't cry, is there something dirty in that Heart-Devouring Flame God Tower? We'll help you get rid of it."

"I'm most afraid of girls crying, especially the Holy Maiden."

Nali said with red eyes, "Confirmed, I really am the Holy Maiden."

It turned out that just now, after Nali entered the last floor, she saw the relics of the Old Holy Master.

Those relics sensed Nali's aura, and the remaining phantom of the Old Holy Master appeared.

Nali also learned of her identity.

It turned out that she really was the Holy Maiden of the Flame Brilliance Clan. Her parents left the Flame Brilliance Clan to escape the pursuit of enemies.

Her mother gave birth to Nali on the way.

Under the circumstances of being hunted down by enemies, the two knew that they did not have the ability to take care of Nali. If they kept Nali by their side, the enemies would find her sooner or later.

So, they came to this unfamiliar place, the Barren Ancient Continent. After many observations and tests, they entrusted Nali to a kind family.

The couple joined forces to place a seal on Nali, sealing her terrifying physique, and cast a secret technique on this family, giving them a long lifespan.

It's just that the couple eventually fell. The secret technique they left behind gradually became ineffective, and the farmer's lifespan was dwindling.

"That's great, the Holy Maiden has really returned," the elders cried with joy.

"Thank goodness, the declining ancient race has finally welcomed back the Holy Maiden! We will teach you the Flame Brilliance Clan's techniques to help you grow quickly!"

At this time, Nali said with a firm gaze, "No, I will not stay."

"I want to return to the Barren Ancient Continent to look for clues about my parents."
