Swallowing the Stars: My Comprehension is Beyond the Heavens!

Chapter 420 Duan Donghe's Favoritism

Seeing that no one was retreating, they did not back down.

Duan Donghe nodded. "Alright, since you're all willing to stay, then come with me."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards another side door of the Misty Hall.

wow...

The side door opens automatically.

Duan Donghe went inside.

Luo Xia and the others followed them inside.

After entering through the side gate, walk straight along the wide passage. Before long, a gate will appear in front of you.

The Duan Donghe River only stopped in front of the sluice gate.

"Wait a moment, the gate will open, and then you can continue along this corridor."

Duan Donghe looked at Luo Xia and the others, and continued:

"As long as the five of you can keep moving in a straight line along the corridor until you reach the next hall alive, you will have passed the most basic screening and can begin to learn about the inheritance."

inherited!

Luo Feng and the others were startled, their eyes lighting up.

The Lord of Deer and the Lord of Ryuju were both very excited.

However, despite their excitement, they did not relax.

The Lord of the Deer and Insects knew this very well.

The inheritance of the Broken East River is exceptionally powerful. The selection process it is about to undergo is definitely not simple. It may contain true terror and danger. It may require all efforts to avoid perishing.

"You three!"

"Go in first. On the way, you may use weapons and any means necessary."

"As long as you make it to the next hall alive, that's enough."

Duan Donghe pointed to the Lord of the Deer Insects, the Lord of the Golden Square, and the Lord of Liu Jiu, and told them to go through the passage first.

The three, including the Lord of Deer and Insects, exchanged glances, none daring to disobey Duan Donghe's orders.

"rise!"

Duan Donghe turned to look at the sluice gate and pointed.

wow...

The heavy, wide gate slowly rose, revealing a broad, deep passage that seemed to stretch endlessly.

The three of them, including the Lord of Deer and Insects, all looked into the passage.

But there was no danger in the bare passageway at the moment.

However, they were all extremely cautious.

Just before entering the passage, Lord Liu Jiu asked Duan Donghe, "My lord, should we split into two groups to pass through this passage separately?"

Duan Donghe shook his head slightly and said coldly, "No, only the three of you need to enter together. As for the other two..."

He looked at Luo Xia and Luo Feng, "They will enter one by one later."

Why?

Even the Lord of Deer and Insects couldn't help but feel confused. From the very beginning, Duan Donghe's attitude towards Luo Xia and Luo Feng was different from how he treated them.

Could it be that this ancient being, who has long since perished, has truly taken a liking to Luo Xia and Luo Feng's youth and talent?

Duan Donghe glanced coldly at the Lord of Deer and Insects and said in a cold voice:

"What, you don't want to go in? Then leave. You can still leave alive. If you don't leave... the three of you should go in quickly. Those who don't will be eliminated."

The three, including the Lord of Deer and Insects, couldn't help but glance at Luo Xia and Luo Feng. They dared not ask any more questions and walked directly into the passage.

wow...

After they entered, the heavy, wide gate fell again, sealing the entire corridor once more.

On this side of the sluice gate... only the Duan Donghe and Luo Feng brothers remained.

"Once you enter the corridor, there is no turning back."

Duan Donghe glanced at Luo Feng and Luo Xia and gave them a reminder.

Luo Feng and Luo Xia both nodded.

They didn't dare ask Duan Donghe any more questions.

On the other side, inside the passageway.

The Lord of Deer Insects, the Lord of Gold Square, and the Lord of Liu Jiu did not look very good.

They moved forward cautiously, chatting as they went.

"It seems that the Rubik's Cube device can not only detect races, but also examine aptitude and age... Compared to a universe master who has lived for countless epochs, Luo Xia and Luo Feng have a greater advantage than the two of us!"

The Lord of Deer and Insects spoke to the Lord of Liu Jiu and the Lord of Jin Fang.

Lord Liu Jiu frowned and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. If it were only the Galactic Lord, we could find a way to prevent him from passing the test, but the Ancestor of Reincarnation is also involved..."

The Lord of Deer and Insects wore a helpless expression.

The key to the problem is Rorschach!

The Lord of Ryuu came later; we haven't seen the Lord of Shadow and the Lord of Witches fall yet.

The Lord of Deer and the Lord of Gold witnessed the entire process.

Narosha's methods are too terrifying and bizarre; he can even kill the Lord of the Universe in an instant.

They wouldn't dare to cause trouble for Rorschach.

So at this point, all he could do was vent his frustrations to Lord Ryuu.

As for causing trouble for Luo Xia and Luo Feng...

The Lord of Deer and the Lord of Gold do not want to die.

"Now we can only take it one step at a time. Although Luo Xia and Luo Feng have a short cultivation period and extremely high talent, inheritance is not just about these things. There are also advantages to living a long life."

The Lord of the Golden Faction spoke.

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Deer and the Lord of Ryuju nodded.

That's all they can tell themselves for now.

……

On this side of the passage, Luo Xia and Luo Feng were chatting telepathically.

"Xia, why do you think Lord Duan Donghe separated us from the Lord of the Deer and Insects?"

Luo Xia thought for a moment and said, "It's very simple. Whether it's the Lord of the Deer Insects, the Lord of the Golden Square, or the Lord of Liu Jiu, they are all at the level of the Lord of the Universe. Although you, brother, have the combat power of a Lord of the Universe, your true level is only that of a Venerable of the Universe."

Luo Feng asked in confusion, "Is it divided according to cultivation level? If so, why didn't Lord Duan Donghe let you go in with the Lord of Deer and Insects? After all, you are now a Universe Lord, aren't you?"

Duan Donghe suddenly spoke:

"Luo Xia is different. Although he is a Universe Lord, his life gene has reached 89663 times! Such a level of life gene is extremely rare even in the inheritance of my Duan Donghe lineage! Therefore, although his realm is Universe Lord, his combat power has far exceeded that of a Universe Lord, and he can no longer participate in the assessment with the Deer Insect Lord and the others."

So that's how it is!

Luo Feng suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Luo Xia in shock. He had never imagined that Luo Xia's life genes had reached such a high multiple!

"Rorschach, do you have a way to enhance your own life genes?"

Duan Donghe asked Luo Xia with great interest.

"Mm." Rorschach nodded.

"Hahaha! Truly remarkable! No wonder the general has taken a liking to this genius!"

Duan Donghe laughed heartily, completely devoid of his previous indifference. He looked at Luo Xia with delight and said:

"With your qualifications and talent, you are already qualified to inherit the legacy of my Duan Donghe lineage. However, this inheritance process has been passed down in my Duan Donghe lineage for a long time, and every successor must go through it... The upcoming assessment will also be of great benefit to you!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng asked with a smile, "Lord Duan Donghe, are you planning to designate my younger brother as your heir?"

Luo Feng wouldn't feel any jealousy towards Luo Xia, since Luo Xia was his younger brother.

On the contrary, they were happy to see him directly inherit the Duan Donghe lineage.

Duan Donghe shook his head slightly, "An assessment is still required..."

The succession test passed down by one Duan Donghe after another is something Duan Donghe has no intention of violating—even if Luo Xia's talent is good enough, it won't work.
