The will of a True God of a Spiritual Lord.
Having seen Primeval Troll's will doppelgänger, Long Chen naturally knew how terrifying it was. After all, a Spiritual Lord was many times stronger than a Primeval Troll.
Back then, the Primeval Troll's will doppelgänger had relied on Long Chen, all the peak experts, Yang You, and Lingxi's Earth Vein Heavenly Dragon Formation to defeat it and absorb it.
But now, if what Ling Huang said was true, then Long Chen had to face a disaster that was even more terrifying than a Primeval Troll's will doppelgänger alone. Ling Huang was right. Long Chen had defeated the Spiritual Puppet Divine Servants and the Seven Ultimate Spiritual Ladies, and it was only in the deepest part of the Spiritual Lord Residence that he encountered a truly difficult disaster. The difficulty of the Spiritual Lord Heavenly Palace must be very high, and the possibility of Long Chen passing through it was very low.
The difficulty of the Spiritual Lord Residence was very high. If Long Chen hadn't been lucky and had the Ancestral Dragon's inheritance, it would have been almost impossible for him to pass through it by relying on his own strength.
The previous few dangers were indeed a little easier for him. To be honest, the challenge of the Seven Ultimate Spiritual Ladies was even easier than the Dead Souls Cave, but the difficulty of the Spiritual Lord Heavenly Palace was almost ten times higher. So, hearing what Ling Huang said, Lingxi, who was in the Divine Kingdom, couldn't help but become nervous, and she even gasped. Even Kitten, who was usually careless, was silent at this time.
To be honest, excluding a miracle, the possibility of Long Chen defeating the Spiritual Lord's will doppelgänger, which was even more terrifying than a Primeval Troll's will doppelgänger, was almost zero.
That was why Ling Huang said in a matter-of-fact tone, "It would be a good thing if you could understand the horror of the last part. To be honest, it's already a miracle that you could make it here, but facing the will doppelgänger of my god, I can't control your life or death. If you were killed in there, I couldn't stop it either. You'd better think twice here. It's not easy for you to have the strength you have today, and even I admire it. You're still young, and it's not worth it to die here for a moment of anger."
After a pause, he continued, "This is your last chance to admit defeat. Otherwise, you won't have this chance after entering the Spiritual Lord Heavenly Palace. I'll also give you a chance. If you admit defeat now, I promise you that when my child is a thousand years old, I'll tell him that his parents are you."
Long Chen couldn't help laughing, and said, "Don't joke around. You've trained him for a thousand years, and he's been instilled with the ideas of you, Ling Huang. Even if he knows who his parents are, it won't be of any use to him."
In fact, Ling Huang still didn't believe that he could surpass Long Qinglan, and it wouldn't even take a thousand years. Long Chen was clear that with his current four Ancestral Dragon's inheritance, he would be able to completely crush Ling Huang within a year, and his child wouldn't even be born by then.
Of course, he could admit defeat for now, and leave with Lingxi after he defeated Ling Huang.
But the problem was that he didn't want to lose even for a moment.
Moreover, the matter of the Demon Star was imminent, and Long Chen didn't have the time to be entangled with Ling Huang here.
This was an extremely selfish person, or in his eyes, there was only himself.
Long Chen didn't need to respond to him. He directly stepped towards the end of the Rainbow Bridge, using this to prove his attitude. His footsteps were incomparably firm, and he wouldn't be affected by Ling Huang's words at all. Since the rise of the Eternal Dragon Emperor, this world was no longer the era of Ling Huang. Although it was much earlier now, Long Chen couldn't wait to drive this old guy off the altar.
In front of him was an illusory palace within the clouds. It was shrouded in colorful mist and emitted an oppressive light. This palace wasn't big and was built in the Primordial Era. There were many symbols that only existed in the Primordial Era. Although it had been through countless years, it still looked brand new.
"Heh, compared to Long Qinglan, he is indeed too bold. This is an advantage, but also a disadvantage, and also the cause of death …"
Ling Huang was very resentful. He snorted coldly and gradually disappeared. Whether Long Chen could pass the Residence of Spiritual Supremacy depended on this last time.
If he passed, Ling Huang's plan of inheritance would be ruined. But in fact, Ling Huang wasn't worried at all. He had roughly figured out Long Chen's strength, and there was still a long way to go before he could defeat the True God's will of the Spiritual Supremacy.
At the same time, the people outside hadn't heard any news from Long Chen for a long time. After the end of the third test, Ling Huang hadn't appeared again. The people who were at ease before became nervous again as time went by.
"Could it be that Long Chen died in the fourth test?"
"Normally, the further you go in the Residence of Spiritual Supremacy, the more difficult it is. It's normal for the fourth test to be several times more difficult than the third. If he barely passed the third test, it's normal for him to die in the fourth test."
"Doesn't that mean that Long Chen lost the first bet, and his child will be given to Ling Huang, so that Ling Huang can raise it alone?"
The Grand Demon Lord, the Holy Sorcerer, and the Sea Emperor were more here to watch the show. The human experts couldn't tolerate Long Chen losing, so they were contacting other top experts to put pressure on the Spirit Tribe. Yang You was prepared. If Ling Huang could hide in the Residence of Spiritual Supremacy for the rest of his life, Yang You and the others wouldn't be able to do anything to him, but the Spirit Tribe outside would definitely suffer.
Yang You had always been a lawless person. If you provoked her, she would break into the Residence of Spiritual Supremacy, or slaughter the Spirit Tribe. In any case, she would force Ling Huang to come out.
Of course, she still hoped that Long Chen could accomplish all of this himself. She knew that Long Chen had made up his mind for this challenge.
While almost everyone was making guesses and had a bad premonition in their hearts, Long Chen had already entered the Spirit Elder Heavenly Palace and arrived at the most dangerous place.
The Heavenly Palace of Spiritual Supremacy was like a temple.
As soon as he pushed open the door and stepped in, Long Chen felt a sense of awe and fear. This strong feeling was a hundred times more dignified and heavy than what the Seven Ultimate Spiritual Ladies had given him. This was the true will of a god. Compared to the will of a fake god, it was like heaven and earth.
After that, his eyes saw the whole world inside the Heavenly Palace of Spiritual Supremacy.
The inside was at least a hundred times bigger than the outside. It was boundless and spacious, like a big world. In front of Long Chen was a light golden passageway, which was not very wide. It was formed by floating divine stones. It led to the depths of the Heavenly Palace of Spiritual Supremacy. Presumably, Ling Huang's will of a true god was in the deepest part of this place.
At the bottom of the passageway was a multi-colored mist. Long Chen sensed that there was something down there. His gaze pierced through the layers of mist, and he discovered that there was actually a picture below. The picture was as big as the entire Spiritual Elder Heavenly Palace was. On the picture, there were countless vivid and lifelike little people. Although they were very small, and their heights were not even a centimeter, each one of them was different. Moreover, they were vivid and lifelike, as if each of the people in the picture was a real living being.
As Long Chen moved forward, he looked around. The picture under his feet was still densely packed with people. Everyone seemed to be alive, and some were even looking at him with curious eyes.
Judging from their appearances, these people were all from the Spirit Race. There were the Holy Spirit Race, the Dark Spirit Race, the Flower Spirit Race, the Tree Spirit Race, and so on. Every single one of them seemed to be alive. They were even talking and moving about. It was very strange. After all, this was just a painting.
Long Chen did a rough calculation. According to the area of the Heavenly Palace of Spiritual Supremacy, there were about two billion living beings in the picture. This number was about the same as the current number of the entire Spirit Race.
"What is this?"
Lingxi was also very confused. She understood the Spirit Race very well, but this picture was a little too strange.
Kitten was even more clueless.
Only Shi Jiangling was startled. She said, "It seems to be the legendary Spirit Race … The Picture of All Beings … Impossible, how could such a thing exist in this world."
It was obvious that she was very shocked.
"What are the details?"
Long Chen couldn't help but ask.
Shi Jiangling said, "To the people of the Spirit Clan, this is a baseless legend. It is said that the Spirit Clan itself does not exist in this world. It was the two Ancestral Gods, Venerable Spirit and Mistress Su, who came to this world with a copy of the Picture of Life. All of the Spirit Clan came out of the Picture of Life and then reproduced in this world. The Picture of Life is closely connected to the Spirit Clan. When we die, our souls will be retrieved by the Picture of Life. When we are born, the Picture of Life will bestow a new soul and record it in the Picture of Life. It is said that as long as we have the Picture of Life, we can bring all of the Spirit Clan back to the Picture of Life."
"Tightly connected."
Long Chen took note of the phrase.
Shi Jiangling was talking about a legend, but in Long Chen's opinion, it was very likely the origin of the Spirit Race. After all, the legends said that the Spirit Race had suddenly appeared in the Immortal God Realm. He studied the Picture of All Beings closely, and found that the back of the picture seemed to be connected to the outside world. There seemed to be countless threads extending outwards, one of which was connected to Shi Jiangling.
On the front of the picture, there were countless threads that converged into the depths of the Spirit Sovereign's heavenly palace.
The countless threads left Long Chen in a daze. He remembered that every time he ascended the Dragon Stairway of Inheritance, he would be connected to tens of billions of lives on the Draconic Sacrificial Continent. Even now, those trillions of lives were still connected to Long Chen. As long as he focused, he could sense the living conditions of countless people. He could see Yang Lingqing, Feng Zhilin, and even converse with them. Unfortunately, Long Chen hadn't done so yet. After all, he had a lot of questions about the matter.
It was as if they were a part of him.
