Once that golden glow around Wang Jian was scattered, he didn't react at first as he looked down at his own hands like he wasn't sure of his own power.

However, after he was certain that it was his own power, he couldn't help revealing a faint smile.

Then once he was done checking the situation with his body, he turned to the transparent figure that was floating above the coffin. He cupped his hands and gave a slight bow as he said, "Thank you, master."

The transparent figure had opened its eyes the same moment that Wang Jian had opened his eyes and had been watching him the entire time. After hearing what Wang Jian said to him, he just gave a simple nod without saying a thing.

After that, the transparent figure turned around to look at the beast that had turned around during this time and asked, "Who's next?"

The beast raised his hand and pointed right at Mo Ze Chen as he said, "This one was ranked second place, so he's the next one to receive the inheritance."

The transparent figure gave a nod and then raised his hand again like last time, creating another small ball of golden light at his fingertip.

As he created this, he turned to look at Mo Ze Chen and said, "Are you ready?"

Mo Ze Chen looked at Lin Fan before turning back to the transparent figure and giving a nod.

Seeing this, the transparent figure didn't say anything else, it just flicked its finger and sent the ball of golden light at Mo Ze Chen.

The ball of golden light did the same thing as with Wang Jian and floated over to Mo Ze Chen's forehead before integrating into the golden diamond there.

As soon as the ball of golden light entered the diamond on Mo Ze Chen's head, the same thing happened to him as Wang Jian. The expressions on his face kept fluctuating until it finally relaxed, as he closed his eyes.

Once again the same thing happened with the face of the transparent figure as well as he stood there with his eyes closed.

Lin Fan had his suspicions about this inheritance and it had only gotten stronger since Wang Jian finished accepting his inheritance.

It was clear that there was something else going on based on how Wang Jian had acted earlier.

First, there was how right after Wang Jian had finished breaking through, the first thing he had done was cup his hands to thank the transparent figure. While it was normal to give thanks, but the fact that he had addressed him as master had been something that was strange.

For people like this, they only had one master in life and they would never betray that master, unless they were betrayed first. For Wang Jian to address the transparent figure as master, there must have been something that happened in the space that the transparent figure had set up for them.

Not to mention that while it had been faint, Lin Fan had been able to catch it. As soon as Wang Jian was finished, the transparent figure had lost all interest in him. While he had still nodded, it was clear based on the slight gestures that he made that he was completely done with Wang Jian.

All of these signs pointed to the conclusion that the transparent figure was doing something to the people that received his inheritance, but still Lin Fan didn't stop Mo Ze Chen from receiving it.

It was very simple, he was making a gamble.

While it was possible for them to escape if they used the pearl that they were given in the beginning, that would mean leaving behind this powerful enemy that would definitely come out now that he was discovered. With how powerful they were, they definitely would be able to establish their own space and gather people to track him down.

Right now he didn't have anything prepared in this realm and if he made such a powerful enemy, it definitely wouldn't be to his advantage.

Which meant that the only option for him was to take care of them here before anything else could happen.

While other people might not be confident in doing this with the large gap in power, Lin Fan was confident because he had something that no one else had. As long as he had this thing that couldn't be explained by the normal laws of this world, he was certain that he would be able to take care of this transparent figure. That was the main reason why he had sacrificed Mo Ze Chen even though he knew that this inheritance was a trap.

It was all to make the transparent figure let down their guard for him to make his move.

Mo Ze Chen naturally had been able to see that there were things that were wrong when Wang Jian finished receiving his inheritance, but when he saw Lin Fan give him that look, he chose to believe in Lin Fan and accept this inheritance.

It took the exact same amount of time for Mo Ze Chen to accept the inheritance as Wang Jian, but something happened during this time.

Wang Jian just blankly stood on the side watching over Mo Ze Chen accepting his inheritance, but based on the fluctuations that came from him, it was clear that he was stabilizing his realm.

That wasn't important since the beast had done something during this time.

The beast looked right at Lin Fan and after a slight pause, he suddenly asked, "What did she talk to you about?"

Lin Fan was taken aback when he heard this since he clearly didn't expect the beast to be this blunt, but he turned back and asked, "What do you mean?"

The beast looked at him before saying, "You can play dumb if you want, but you already know what will happen. So what will you do?"

Lin Fan looked right into the beast's eyes and said, "I'm here to accept the senior's inheritance. Is there something else I should know about?"

The beast narrowed his eyes since it was clear that he never expected Lin Fan to say this, but he didn't say anything else as he looked at Lin Fan for a bit before suddenly turning away.

Lin Fan acted like he didn't see anything as he continued to watch Mo Ze Chen.

In the end, Mo Ze Chen had the same reaction as Wang Jian as he was covered in that golden glow which first covered him before he released it. Right after he released this golden glow, he broke through to the high Embryo Soul Realm.

Mo Ze Chen had been slowly accumulating battle experience during their excursion in the ruins and he had reached the point where he was able to break through, but he never got the stimulus to do so. This time, the golden energy that had appeared had been enough to push him right into the next realm. 

Right after breaking through, he did the same thing as Wang Jian. Mo Ze Chen turned in the direction of the transparent figure and cupped his hands along with a slight bow before saying, "Thank you, master."

The transparent figure gave the same nod before finally turning to look at Lin Fan.

When his eyes fell onto Lin Fan, there was no way to hide the hint of excitement that appeared in his eyes.

But still, he played his role properly as he turned to the beast and asked, "Is he the next one who will receive the inheritance?"

The beast had knitted brows at first, but hearing the transparent figure's voice, he suddenly said, "Yes master. This person was the one who ranked first, so he will be receiving master's final inheritance."

The transparent figure nodded before raising his hand to gather that ball of golden light. The only difference this time was that the ball of golden light that was gathered was much bigger than the last two times.

Lin Fan could even feel a strange sensation coming from this ball of golden light that made his heart tremble, but his expression was calm on the surface the entire time.

The transparent figure looked at Lin Fan and asked him, "Are you willing to accept my inheritance?"

Lin Fan knew that at this point, this question was just rhetoric.

Even if Lin Fan were to say no, would that make a difference?

With how he controlled Wang Jian and Mo Ze Chen, Lin Fan was already truly alone here.

It was still possible for him to escape because he had that trump card from the system, but he wasn't willing to leave Mo Ze Chen here. As for Wang Jian, well that was a different question…

So Lin Fan just gave a nod in response.

The transparent figure clearly couldn't hide the excitement that he felt as his fingers trembled when Lin Fan nodded, but it was such a small tremble that no one had noticed it.

He didn't say anything else as he just flicked his finger, sending the ball of golden light out in Lin Fan's direction.

That ball of golden light came in front of Lin Fan, but it was so big that it completely covered his field of view and he was only able to see that golden light. It was just a good thing that the golden light that it released wasn't that strong, so he wasn't forced to close his eyes.

After that, the ball of golden light came to his forehead and entered it.

The moment it did, everything in front of Lin Fan had turned dark.
