“The Strongest Inheritance is within me!” the Golden Divine Dragon said with a smile.
“Within you?” Xing Chen showed a hint of disbelief on his face.
No wonder the Underworld God and others had searched for so long without finding the Strongest Inheritance. It turns out this Inheritance was inside the Golden Dragon, which was located within the Dragon Summoning Platform. Without access to the Dragon Summoning Platform, the Underworld God and his group naturally could not find the Strongest Inheritance.
“That’s right, it’s inside me. However, if you want to truly obtain the Strongest Inheritance, you must undergo a trial,” the Golden Dragon nodded slightly, its enormous eyes fixed intently on Xing Chen.
“No matter what trial it is, I Xing Chen can pass it!” Xing Chen declared without hesitation.
He was not afraid of trials; he feared losing everything about Meng Xiner. But for the sake of the Strongest Inheritance and to fight against the Underworld God, he had no other choice.
“Alright, come in and accept the trial now!” The Golden Dragon exhaled a beam of golden light that illuminated Xing Chen, then his entire body lifted off the ground and was drawn into the body of the Golden Dragon.
“Xing Chen, no matter what, you must come back!” Meng Xiner called out loudly as she watched Xing Chen’s retreating figure.
“Wait for me, I will definitely come back, and I will remember you…” Xing Chen’s form gradually faded from everyone’s sight as he entered into the body of the Golden Dragon.
“Xing Chen…” Seeing that Xing Chen had already entered the body of the Golden Dragon, tears finally welled up in Meng Xiner’s eyes and fell down her cheeks.
She was just as worried that Xing Chen would forget her, but she had no other way. Even if she were willing to sacrifice her life to become Xing Chen’s Heart Soul, he would still refuse this idea. Thus, like Xing Chen, she too had no other choice.
Inside the Golden Dragon, Xing Chen's figure slowly appeared, and the scene before him left him momentarily stunned.
Before him stood a towering mountain, reaching up to the clouds, seemingly endless at first glance. Xing Chen also discovered that within this place, his Demonic Aura was completely restrained; he could not use even a trace of it. His current strength was almost no different from that of an ordinary person.
"Golden Dragon, are you still there? What kind of trial is this? What should I do?" Xing Chen shouted into the sky.
"This is your first trial. As long as you can reach the top of this mountain, you will have passed the first test. However, you cannot turn back; otherwise, you will fail the trial and will not be able to obtain the Strongest Inheritance!" The voice of the Golden Dragon, like thunder, slowly echoed in Xing Chen's ears.
"Climbing a mountain?" Xing Chen was slightly taken aback. Although he felt that this trial was hardly a challenge, he still felt a bit nervous inside. Since this was a trial set by the Golden Dragon, it surely wouldn't be as simple as it appeared.
"That's right. Once you take your first step, there will be no turning back unless you want to give up the Strongest Inheritance!" The Golden Dragon's voice rang out again.
"I won't give up. It's just climbing a mountain; it's not difficult!" With that, Xing Chen stepped forward and onto the first step. Just as he set foot on the first stone step, the world before him suddenly turned into a realm of darkness.
"What is this place?" Xing Chen's expression changed slightly as he looked at the thick black mist before him. For some reason, he felt a strong affinity towards the mist.
"This is your initial memory. You were originally drifting as Negative Power in this world, but then countless Negative Powers were gathered together and given consciousness, allowing them to transform into a person—this is how you came into existence. As soon as you take a step forward, you will immediately forget this memory. So, do you want to take that step forward or do you wish to turn back?" The Golden Dragon did not hide anything from him because once Xing Chen took a step forward, his memory here would vanish; thus, there was no need for the Golden Dragon to conceal anything.
"I would rather not have this memory!" Xing Chen said as he continued to move forward. After stepping onto the second stone step, the scene before him changed again. A boy around four or five years old appeared—this boy represented Xing Chen's childhood.
However, Xing Chen did not linger on it but continued to ascend. With each step he took, he lost more and more memories. Yet, he did not notice this; all that occupied his mind was the single thought of reaching the mountain's peak to obtain the Strongest Inheritance.
"It seems like I've lost something..." When he stepped onto the fifty-second stone step, Xing Chen suddenly stopped, and a hint of confusion appeared on his face.
The scene that emerged this time was from when he first joined the Azure Cloud Gang. However, he paid no attention to it and instead focused on trying to recall what exactly he had lost.
"You cannot turn back unless you want to give up the Strongest Inheritance. Otherwise, you can only keep moving forward until you reach the top of the mountain!" Just as Xing Chen was about to look back, the voice of the Golden Dragon echoed in his mind.
"I want to obtain the Strongest Inheritance, and I also want to go out and protect Meng Xin'er!" As Xing Chen thought of Meng Xin'er's expression, he became resolute again and did not think about what he had forgotten.
At that moment, as he took a step forward, an illusory bubble suddenly emerged from his body, leaving it on the fifty-second stone step.
If Xing Chen were to look back at this moment, he would discover that every stone step he had passed left behind such a bubble, which carried his memories.
As he continued to ascend step by step, more and more of his memories were lost. When he reached the one hundredth stone step, a scene appeared before him—his meeting with Xu Yuxi in Azure Cloud City.
"Yuxi..." Xing Chen looked at the image before him, his brows slightly furrowing. He felt that he should have seen Xu Yuxi somewhere before this moment, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not recall it.
Just as he was about to turn back, the voice of the Golden Dragon rang out again, urging him not to look back; otherwise, it would mean giving up the Strongest Inheritance.
"Yuxi, wait for me to see you again when I get out!" After a moment's hesitation, Xing Chen moved forward again. As he did so, his memory of meeting Xu Yuxi in Azure Cloud City was left on the one hundredth stone step.
Xing Chen continued onward. When he reached the one hundred thirty-fifth stone step, Xu Yuxi's figure appeared again—this time in Star City during their encounter on the way to the Ye Family.
"Is this our first meeting?" A hint of confusion appeared in Xing Chen's eyes. He felt certain that he had met Xu Yuxi before but could not recall any details.
"The Golden Dragon said that if I want to obtain the Strongest Inheritance, I must pay the price of my memories. I must have forgotten many memories while waiting for this body; that's why some things elude my mind," Xing Chen thought. After all, he was a clever person and finally understood the cause and effect of the situation.
"As long as I take another step forward, I will surely forget these memories..." At this moment, Xing Chen began to hesitate. He did not want to lose his memories, but if he turned back, then the Strongest Inheritance would be beyond his reach. Without the Strongest Inheritance, he could never be a match for the Underworld God.
"Are you hesitating? You can still turn back now. If you do so, all your lost memories will return to you. However, you will also lose your chance at the Strongest Inheritance. So think carefully about whether you should turn back!" The voice of the Golden Dragon echoed once more, making Xing Chen even more indecisive.
"I can regain the memories I've lost if I turn back, but I will also lose my ability to fight against the Underworld God. If I don't turn back, all my memories will definitely disappear." A struggle appeared in Xing Chen's eyes, but the next moment his gaze became resolute. He had to keep moving forward; otherwise, how could he contend with the immense power of the Underworld God?
Thinking this, Xing Chen couldn't help but take another step forward. At that moment, a voice suddenly called out to him.
"Xing Chen..."
"Meng Xin'er?" Xing Chen recognized the voice; it was Meng Xin'er. He could feel that the voice was right behind him, and if he turned around, he would see Meng Xin'er. However, recalling the words of the Golden Dragon, he knew he couldn't turn back, or he would lose the chance to obtain the Strongest Inheritance.
"Xing Chen, won't you look back at me? Have you forgotten me? You won't forget me." Meng Xin'er's voice rang out again, carrying a hint of inexplicable sadness that stirred a sense of pity in those who heard it.
"Meng Xin'er, I haven't forgotten you. However, I can't turn back right now. Once I obtain the Strongest Inheritance, I will come find you!" Xing Chen said as he took another step forward.
Then he closed his eyes and did not stop. He crossed dozens of stone steps, and when he couldn't help but open his eyes again, what he saw was a Blue-Clad Girl. This girl was Meng Xin'er; she was whom they had met on the ship to Guangyang Prefecture, marking their first encounter.
"Meng Xin'er..." Looking at Meng Xin'er appearing before him, a hint of infatuation sparkled in Xing Chen's eyes. He knew that if he took one more step forward, he would forget this memory of Meng Xin'er, so he hesitated once more.
"Xing Chen, please don't move forward anymore. With your strength, even if you can't defeat the Underworld God, you can still find a place to hide. As long as you want to hide, even the Underworld God won't be able to find you. Then we can continue to be together; wouldn't that be wonderful?"
