The two succeeded in reaching a certain tacit understanding, and the remaining things to do became very clear.
The box containing the technology of the Seer Protoss was placed flat on the table. The remains of the great priest inside could be felt even through a layer of special materials, and its surging energy could be felt.
Tang Jiumin put his hand on the box, and when he heard the system prompts in his ears, he did not hesitate to spend the 2,200 mind crystals required for identification.
A magical scene happened.
A dark blue color dyes the entire box from the inside out, assimilating it into some kind of energy element.
The next second, the box that had just been used to isolate the remains began to turn into data fragments and disappear into thin air.
Soon, the skull belonging to the great priest slowly rose and floated.
Compared to humans, the skull of this skull is relatively wide, and like the box that was just digitized, it is also dyed with the dark blue energy.
Suspended in mid-air, it does not look like a wreckage, but more like a handicraft carved from crystal.
Surrounding the skull, some runes loomed in the air, which looked like the ancient language of the Seer Protoss.
Unfortunately, the information from the trial on Edge Star alone was not enough for Tang Jiumin to get involved in ancient languages.
But even if the meaning of the runes cannot be understood, the energy contained in these runes and the luster they exude make the blue crystal skull even more noble.
However, this nobility is also accompanied by mystery.
Because under the scanning of Tang Jiumin's consciousness, the skull identified was quite strange.
【Archon of Light and Darkness】
Grade: Grade A
Type: inheritance type, remains type, trial type
Characteristics: The trial of light and darkness stored under ancient runes is used by the ancient ancestors of the Purcell Protoss to select rulers who can fairly represent the people of light and darkness. Those who accept the trial must possess the spirit of the Purcell Protoss or older. Energy-like bloodline.
Explanation: The Seer Protoss ambushed and attacked Atnis, causing his dead body to be shattered. However, as the first-generation great priest, the trial runes were attached to his skull after his death. At present, the ancient runes have been cracked and the obstacles to entering the trial have been removed.
The ruler? just?
Tang Jiumin's eyes were stunned, and he glanced at Liu Ziyun subconsciously.
"Don't waste time. The sooner you get something like inheritance, the sooner you can improve your combat effectiveness, and the sooner you understand those skills."
As a result, the other party raised his hand to signal, urging him to quickly integrate the inheritance.
Tang Jiumin nodded slightly, no longer hesitated, and directly touched the skull with his palm.
Confirm and accept the inheritance.
Following the command given in his consciousness, the crystal skull suddenly burst into extremely dazzling blue light, illuminating the entire room.
Soon, the skull was filled with this light and turned into a liquid-like existence, melting directly into Tang Jiumin's palm.
Under the gaze of Liu Ziyun, the blue liquid spread from Tang Jiumin's palm, to his arm, and then to his entire body, turning Tang Jiumin's body into a being covered in blue light.
As for Tang Jiumin himself, just like Liu Ziyun back then, his consciousness entered the inheritance space.
However, the inheritance space of the two seems to be different.
Tang Jiumin was stunned for a moment, because the inheritance space described by Liu Ziyun was like a cloud and mist, with no other scenes.
But it was different here. Although there were clouds and mist in the distance, he was facing a magnificent palace at this time.
This palace seems to be made of a strange black and white crystal stone, which does not seem to have a metallic texture.
More importantly, this palace actually has 99 steps!
Tang Jiumin knew how safe this place was, so he looked around and stepped up. It didn't take long before he reached the end of the steps.
Here, there is a closed door.
Fortunately, it wasn't the kind that sealed it, so Tang Jiumin pushed it in with all his strength.
The inside and outside of the gate seemed to be two completely different worlds. The inside was very similar to the temple that Tang Jiumin entered in the dungeon, but it was different.
The temple-like place in front of it covers a larger area. The various sculptures of the Ser Protoss next to it are more detailed, but they have a more ancient feel.
This is not the most important thing.
Tang Jiumin's eyes fell on the center.
There is a high platform there. The high platform in the original church of Edge Star had their holy bell on it, and above their heads, there was the so-called divine book.
But here, it is not a high platform, but more like a round table council. A huge semicircular stone table is surrounded by 11 black and white stone seats.
However, these are still not the point.
Tang Jiumin noticed as soon as he arrived, there were five on each side, and they were all unoccupied, covered with dust, and looked very old.
But in the most central position, there was sitting a Ser protoss who had a weak body, looked old but had a serious expression.
The opponent was wearing a battle armor, but outside he was wearing a robe belonging to a priest. Wearing a headdress belonging to a priest, he carries two swords belonging to a warrior behind his back.
The armor of the Cyr Protoss will not completely cover the body, and with the defense power of the Cyr Protoss, there is no need for this.
From this, Tang Jiumin could see clearly...
The opponent's exposed skin outside the armor.
It was skin formed from countless old wounds, with pits and pits, but it revealed an incomparable power of blood, making Tang Jiumin's breathing slow down.
This is a powerful warrior.
But what is even more awe-inspiring is the aura that this old man exudes.
Deep and restrained, calm and angry, just looking at each other made his hair run cold.
This aura cannot be possessed by a warrior.
It is the power that can only be formed by those who are powerful and have been in the upper position for a long time.
At this moment, Tang Jiumin only felt invisible pressure, making it difficult for him to move even an inch.
test? Or is it the old man in front of him who won't let him get close?
But no matter what the reason was, Tang Jiumin became more determined. He came to obtain the inheritance, and of course he couldn't stop there.
Thinking of this, Tang Jiumin slowly raised his steps.
However, just as he was about to exert force, he felt that it was difficult to lift the heavy iron lump on his feet.
Cold sweat ran down Tang Jiumin's forehead and cheeks, and finally gathered on his chin, dripping to the ground.
Under his own gaze, the raised foot moved a little bit.
I don't know how long it took before I finally took a step forward.
Half step, one step, two steps...
Tang Jiumin stepped forward, getting closer and closer to the Ser protoss with a terrifying aura.
At this moment, the old Ser Protoss in the seat suddenly raised his head.
A pair of sharp eyes stared straight at Tang Jiumin!
The momentum of the warriors and superiors on the opposite side was completely overwhelming!
Tang Jiumin, who was being watched, instantly felt as if his legs were filled with lead, and his whole body's joints were stiff and trembling, which was even worse than at the beginning.
But Tang Jiumin didn't stop.
This is a trial, and it is also blocked by the system.
Now, in principle, it cannot stop itself.
It's nothing more than the conscious body in the inheritance making things difficult for itself.
After thinking about this, Tang Jiumin adjusted his breathing, focused on his feet, and continued to move his steps again and again.
The steps are not big, but the stone table opposite is getting closer and closer.
In the center seat, the old man from the Seer Protoss frowned.
Apparently, he wasn't satisfied.
Not knowing how long it took, Tang Jiumin finally came to the stone table as his toes touched a stone chair, and looked at the old man closely.
The real pressure suddenly disappeared.
Finally, Tang Jiumin felt the relief he had not seen for a long time.
"You're still here." Faced with the established facts, the old man from the Seer Protoss still spoke, his hoarse and low voice full of traces of time.
"You don't want me, right?" Tang Jiumin, who had just relieved himself of the pressure, couldn't help but ask back when he heard this, "Also, you are the great priest Atnis, right?"
The old man nodded, his identity confirmed.
"Yes, it's me."
"You are right. I don't want you to come, but I also understand that there is a high probability that I can't stop you. On that planet, your performance is too strong. I didn't expect that a human being could do this."
"In such a short period of time, you actually memorized the teachings so clearly."
"Although they don't have a deep understanding of the doctrine now, they are priests after all. You, a human, defeated them in the field they are good at."
"That's really cunning."
The great priest stopped abruptly when he said this, and it took him a while to think of a suitable adjective.
Tang Jiumin laughed.
"Am I not telling the truth? I just abide by your teachings and refute them."
When he was about to accept the inheritance, this man was not afraid at all, and even smiled and told the other race's failure.
However, the high priest was not angry and even nodded.
"You are right to argue based on doctrine."
"But all this is not to follow the teachings, nor to maintain the justice of the teachings. You are just doing it for your own selfish desires and to achieve your escape plan."
The three reasons came out of the mouth of the great priest, full of dissatisfaction and rebuke.
Tang Jiumin was not afraid at all. He smiled and asked the question in the face of the rebuke.
"In order to survive, shouldn't I do this? I succeeded. This is the fact."
Unexpectedly, facing such rhetorical questions, the great priest spoke again.
"The body is just alive. For a person without faith, life is meaningless. It is just a shell with no ability to move!"
It was obvious that this great priest was very disapproving of Tang Jiumin coming to his inheritance place, and was so full of resentment and anger.
"Alive" and just after the other person finished speaking, Tang Jiumin suddenly said, "Can't it be faith?"
This time it was the high priest's turn to be silent.
"You have everything when you are alive, right?"
After finishing his words, Tang Jiumin looked at the other person up and down, paused for a moment and then spoke.
"You have faith. The Ser Protoss regards you as the spiritual symbol of the entire race, but so what. They killed you and hid your head in a box for fear of being discovered by others. This is what you call Faith?"
"Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
The high priest showed no anger at all.
Compared with the excitement just now, when Tang Jiumin mentioned this matter, he seemed to be detached and indifferent.
"That's because they betrayed me, betrayed the doctrine, betrayed their faith and their own souls."
"They only killed my physical body, but my spirit is still alive in the minds of every tribesman who truly believes, and will never die."
"All this is beyond the physical body and cannot be understood by humans."
"No" the other party's majestic voice paused for a moment and then spoke slowly.
"Maybe some humans can understand, but not walking zombies like you."
During the trial, Tang Jiumin realized that in order to survive, he had both good and bad tempers.
Just like now, when the other party slandered him so much, he was very angry and wanted to retaliate and ridicule him.
but……
But he felt keenly that the great priest's words contained unfulfilled meaning.
This sentence……
Tang Jiumin immediately thought of something. He raised his head to look at the other party and suddenly smiled.
"It seems that you are indeed waiting for someone, but it is not me."
"Let me guess." Tang Jiumin's expression turned playful, "The one next to me? Liu Ziyun?"
The high priest suddenly fell silent.
His chest was rising and falling violently, and he was obviously emotionally unstable. After a long time, he took a long breath.
"The first time that person touched the box, I felt that he was a real life with a soul. He was also a person qualified to enter the trial."
"But he is a human being. Even though he has a good power in his body, it still conflicts with the energy system of our tribe."
"It's such a pity, because since you brought me into this space of consciousness, I have realized the infinite possibilities in this space. I have been waiting for him to get in touch with me again."
Mentioning this point, the high priest denied it again.
"He is completely different from you! He can't even be said to be a human being."
"His will, his determination, and his faith are like those of the pioneers among the original tribe. He has a will that is no less than that of any great priest. This is life, this is spirit."
Having said this, the great priest raised his chin and faced Tang Jiumin and spoke dissatisfiedly.
"The walking dead wouldn't understand something like this."
Originally, when he heard the great priest's words, Tang Jiumin was very impatient, but when the great priest commented on Liu Ziyun, Tang Jiumin couldn't help but nod his head, and was strangely not angry anymore.
"Perhaps everything you said is right. Unfortunately... Mr. Great Priest, it's me who's here, not him."
"Although this makes you a little disappointed, according to the rules, am I supposed to take something?"
When it comes to this, Tang Jiumin is really not angry at all.
He slowly exhaled a breath and said very calmly: "After all, I'm not here to waste time arguing with you, let alone discuss Liu Ziyun with you."
Be decisive, concise and clear.
This attitude directly poked the high priest in the eyes, making him clenched his fists again in anger, and it took a while before he loosened his fists.
He looked at Tang Jiumin.
"It's really ridiculous that the last Archon of Light and Darkness would fall on someone like you."
"There are a total of 11 seats here. Including me, everyone who has ever sat on them is a powerful priest and a warrior."
"On my left and right sides are the leaders of the light and dark camps, the ten direct tribes."
"According to the inheritance rules, you are qualified to obtain these ancient inheritances."
After the words fell, the great priest slapped the table.
Suddenly, phantoms appeared on the 10 seats, all of them looked like the Ser Protoss. Immediately afterwards, each shadow turned into a stream of light, floating in front of the stone table.
Soon, 10 ancient runes suspended in mid-air were neatly arranged in front of Tang Jiumin.
"These runes represent the honor of the 10 leaders. They contain the inheritance you want, but now you can only choose one of them."
Looking at the runes that were somewhat similar to the characters of the Saier Protoss, Tang Jiumin frowned because the characters were not something he could recognize.
But soon, as the old man across from him finished speaking, he found that when he looked at the runes, he could actually identify the meaning.
It seems that although the great priest is making things difficult for him, the existence of the system still has the highest authority.
Creation, Shurgun.
Jump, Bastian.
Storm, Jermaine.
Light and shadow, Dison.
Guard, Fabian.
The above are the honors of the five so-called light camp tribal leaders on the left.
The runes representing their honor emit a soft white light in mid-air. Just looking at them makes you feel calm and respectful.
Although I don’t know what kind of power is contained under the runes and what skills can be learned, I can guess some based on the title.
However, compared to the softness of these five, the other five runes on the right look particularly gloomy.
As a dark camp, their runes are not darker or emit a black light.
Their runes are blood red, and just by looking at them, you can feel the tyranny contained in them.
And the 'honorary' titles representing these five great priests filled the air with the smell of blood.
