It had only been less than a minute since Su Ping set foot on the stairs and reached the other side. Su Ping was so fast that it was as easy as walking on the ground.
Everyone came back to their senses when they saw Su Ping disappear into the mist behind the stairs. Jealousy and jealousy welled up in their eyes.
If the stairs were really a test of the Divine Residence, wouldn't the Divine Residence fall into the hands of the Star State kid?
"There are so many Star Lords here, and yet a Star State warrior took advantage of them?"
"It's hard to say. If this place is really a legacy, the three Ascendant State experts definitely wouldn't have missed it."
"Cut it out. The question is, how are we going to get there?"
The Star Lords had a headache.
On the stairs, the purple-robed young man was so angry that he was shaking. He had been defeated by Su Ping during the fight for the Tree of Laws, and he still had trump cards that he hadn't used yet. However, he had held back in the end after weighing the trade-off between the Tree of Laws and his trump cards.
But then, he had been utterly defeated in the aptitude test of the stairs!
This time, there was no objective reason; he had been utterly defeated!
…
Behind the stairs.
Su Ping looked at the Divine Residence in front of him. It had been so ethereal before, as if it were millions of kilometers away, but at the moment, it was right in front of him and within reach.
The Divine Residence was magnificent. Su Ping could see many hidden barriers in many places when he concentrated his Divine Power on his eyes.
They were all ancient barriers. Su Ping felt that he could crack some of them, but he couldn't understand some of them at all.
"This is the Divine Residence … I don't think there's any legacy?"
Su Ping looked around but didn't see any legacy that he had imagined. If there really was a legacy, wouldn't it have left a divine thought or some puppet to guide him after he passed the test?
He waited for a while, but nothing happened. He couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Still, Su Ping didn't think too much about it. After all, the three Ascendant State experts had entered the Divine Residence before him. If there really was a legacy, it might not be his turn.
Taking advantage of others … was just a thought. It was unrealistic to think of taking advantage of a Conferred God expert.
Su Ping shook his head. It didn't matter if there was no legacy. If he could find some other treasures, this trip wouldn't have been in vain.
It would be even better if he could find something more precious than the Path Tree of Laws!
Su Ping turned around and looked behind the stairs, but his vision was blocked by clouds. Astral thoughts couldn't penetrate the clouds, which seemed to contain some special energy.
Su Ping couldn't see the girl and the Star Lords. He shook his head. We're all there to hunt for treasures. It's good that you can't come in.
He looked away and walked toward the plaza.
The plaza was extremely vast, as if it were thousands of hectares in size, spotless. Outside the plaza were a mess of corpses. It was like hell, but inside the plaza, it was as white as jade, with clouds and mist drifting in the air.
"Hey!"
He had only taken a few steps when he suddenly heard a cold, angry shout.
Su Ping turned around and saw the purple-robed young man standing at the bottom of the stairs, glaring at him angrily.
The latter's current appearance was indeed a bit miserable. His originally luxurious purple robe seemed to be a secret treasure, but now it was in tatters. His neatly combed hair had also become fluffy, giving him a bit of a rock and roll style. The leather pants on his lower body were also torn, revealing his charred thighs, almost exposing his buttocks.
"Huh? What can I do for you? "Su Ping asked innocently.
The purple-robed young man's mouth twitched. What can I do for you? You're better than me!
"Remember my name. My name is Xinghe. Xing as in Star and He as in Milky Way!" The purple-robed young man said with a gloomy face, "One day, I will challenge you again, and I will defeat you!!"
"Oh."
Su Ping was a bit bored. He had thought it was something important.
Defeat me? That was impossible.
Also, why would I give you a chance to challenge me? Would I get anything if I beat you?
Oh … The purple-robed young man almost vomited blood after hearing Su Ping's reply. I've already sent you a challenge and this is how you react? Logically speaking, geniuses should appreciate each other. At the very least, you should have said, "I'll wait for you to challenge me!"
To be more arrogant, he should have added, "But if you meet me again, you will still lose!"
Of course, the purple-robed young man was angry to hear that. But he would still sneer and say, "Life is full of ups and downs. Just wait and see!"
But all you said was, "Oh?" What did you mean? You didn't care at all?
The greatest contempt was disregard.
"You will regret your arrogance today!" Xinghe said, gritting his teeth.
“?”
Su Ping was confused. How am I arrogant? Who's the arrogant one here? You're at the Fate State and you're shamelessly challenging me, a Void State warrior, and calling me arrogant?
"If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way." Su Ping didn't want to waste his breath. He would rather hurry up and find treasures.
If it weren't for the fact that Xinghe had so many life-saving cards, Su Ping wouldn't mind killing him right there and then.
He didn't want to leave a source of trouble for himself. Of course, he didn't know if Xinghe would become a source of trouble.
"…"
Xinghe pulled a long face. He watched Su Ping leave. He clenched his fists.
He had never experienced such a feeling of being ignored. He had always been the one to respond to the arrogant geniuses that he had defeated. But now, he had become one of them.
Humiliation!
"Just you wait. When I reach the Star Rank, I'll step on your head and make you beg for mercy!" Xinghe stared at Su Ping's back and swore in his heart.
He didn't waste any more time. He turned around and left.
After a few steps, he suddenly remembered that he had overlooked something.
The stairs seemed to be a test. What about the legacy behind them?
Had Su Ping already obtained it?
That couldn't be right. Although he was a little late, he had also used a lot of his trump cards and soon caught up to Su Ping. He didn't see Su Ping obtain any legacy.
"It seems that the test of the stairs isn't to select a legacy, but a normal screening. Well, if there really was a legacy, how could the three Ascendant State experts have missed it?" Xinghe's eyes flickered and he was relieved.
If Su Ping had really obtained the legacy, then Xinghe's claim that he could catch up with the three Ascendant State experts might be an empty boast.
The more arrogant a person was, the less likely they were to brag.
On the contrary, the less capable a person was, the more likely they were to rely on bragging to gain a sense of vanity.
With that thought in mind, Xinghe didn't linger. He went in the opposite direction of Su Ping and flew to the other side of the plaza.
"Huh?"
Su Ping didn't go far when he suddenly felt his consciousness tremble. Clouds and mist appeared in front of him. When the clouds and mist dispersed, he found himself in a peach forest.
The peach forest was filled with the fragrance of flowers. Su Ping was surprised. Was that a hidden formation? A teleportation formation?
Or an illusion formation?
He looked around at the peach forest and felt that it was extremely realistic.
He walked forward tentatively. Soon, Su Ping saw a tombstone. The moment he saw the tombstone, the peach forest became strange.
Su Ping fixed his gaze on the tombstone. He couldn't recognize the ancient immortal text on the tombstone, but one of the characters was the word "Heaven"!
As Su Ping gazed at the tombstone, the peach forest suddenly lost its color. The pink peach blossoms lost their luster and turned gray. A strong aura of death rose from the trees in the peach forest, turning into shadows of the undead.
The pink peach blossoms withered instantly. They fell to the ground and quickly withered.
Without the petals, Su Ping could see the peach forest clearly. Apart from the withered tree trunks that looked like corpses, there were many graves in the peach forest.
It was a cemetery!
"Undead?" Su Ping frowned as he looked at the human figures formed by the aura of death. He summoned the Little Skeleton.
After all, this was an ancient residence. Su Ping couldn't afford to be careless. He only had one life.
As soon as the Little Skeleton appeared, it emitted a strong aura of the undead, as if it were the king of death. A crimson glow appeared in its eye sockets as the Little Skeleton looked down at the figures of the undead.
Those figures of the undead didn't seem to be deterred by the Little Skeleton. Gradually, they surrounded Su Ping.
Su Ping activated his astral powers. He was ready to fight at any time.
However, a feeble voice suddenly came over at that moment. "What year … is it?"
The voice was delivered through telepathy and acted directly on Su Ping's head. Therefore, Su Ping could understand what it meant.
After a brief daze, Su Ping looked at a stooped figure that looked like an old man. The voice came from none other than the old man.
What caught Su Ping's attention was the fact that the old man seemed to be an indestructible mountain, as if he could stop anything!
"It's the seventh era of the Federation Calendar, Year 5694!" said Su Ping.
That was what he had learned on Rhea with the Lord Badge. It was also the most common year for humans in the universe.
"Federation Calendar … What's that? Is the Immortal King Mu still alive?" asked the old man again.
Su Ping was confused. "The Immortal King Mu? Are you talking about the master of this divine residence? "
"Yes."
"Well, I don't think so. This divine residence has been abandoned for a long time. I'm told that some of the seals were loosened, so it emerged from the deep space. This place has been in ruins for a long time," said Su Ping honestly. Since he could communicate with the dead aura, he didn't want to fight recklessly. After all, it would consume his astral power.
"Abandoned?"
Su Ping's words shook the dead aura around him. They seemed to be looking at each other in bewilderment.
The black aura around the old man seemed to be rather emotional. He finally calmed down a moment later and said, "So, you're an intruder who's here to hunt for treasures?"
Intruder?
Su Ping found those words offensive. He had a bad feeling about this. "I'm not an intruder and I don't mean any harm by coming here. I apologize if I've disturbed your eternal rest." Su Ping felt that those words were offensive.
"I can see pure divine energy in your body and you're a human. Don't worry. We won't make things difficult for you," said the old man.
His voice was filled with a strong sense of death, but his tone was kind and gentle. "The human race is on the decline. We should be united. How can we fight among ourselves? Since you're here, you must be destined to meet the Immortal King Mu. If he left any legacy behind, I hope that someone can inherit it and carry it forward. Someone can become the Immortal King of the human race again and lead the human race to rise again! "
Su Ping was a bit relieved to hear that the old man didn't mean any harm. He asked curiously, "The human race is on the decline? Humans are the most powerful race in the universe. Our footprints are all over the universe and we've colonized countless planets. Beasts, undead creatures, as long as they're alien races, they're our battle pets. We're no longer weak. "
"The universe? The most powerful race? "
The old man wasn't the only one. The other auras of death were stirring as well. Su Ping didn't understand what the word "universe" meant, but he could translate it with his mind.
The most powerful race was easy to understand. Humans had become the most powerful of all races.
"You, you're telling the truth?" The old man's body trembled and his voice trembled a little.
Su Ping was surprised. "Yes."
He had learned from the Lord Badge that this was indeed the case.
Humans were the dominators of the universe!
"So, such a day really will come …"
"We've waited for this long, long time to come …"
"Our sacrifice has not been in vain!"
"The Mu Xian King is gone. He must have used his life to block the pit at the last moment. It's him who brought us this long time. Ha, ha …"
The surrounding Death Qi figures began to tremble violently. Some of them let out sounds that sounded like crying and laughter. It was hair-raising, but the words that came out of their mouths were shocking.
There were also people who laughed maniacally, as if they had gone mad.
"We humans are no longer as humble as ants. We will no longer be at the beck and call of the other races. Ha, ha, ha …"
The old man burst into laughter. Then, he reached out to wipe his tears. He had no more tears, but that was a subconscious action.
Su Ping stared blankly at this scene. He was surrounded by the auras of death. He could feel the atmosphere and emotions as he watched them cry tears of joy.
This long time … didn't come easily?
"Thank you. Thank you for bringing us such good news …" the old man said to Su Ping gratefully after he calmed down a bit.
The other auras of death expressed their gratitude as well.
All of a sudden, Su Ping was at a loss for what to do. He had thought that he would have to fight them head-on.
"I didn't know that I would be able to witness such a long time in the future. We can die with … no regrets!"
"Yes, no regrets!"
"It was worth it!!"
The auras of death were filled with excitement.
"This is the peach garden where the Immortal King Mu buried us. It's a pity that the peaches here have withered in order to nourish our souls. We will dissipate soon and enter the cycle of reincarnation," the old man said to Su Ping.
Su Ping looked at the withered and charred tree trunks around him and understood.
"Sir, do you know how to leave this place?" Su Ping asked politely.
"That's easy." The old man raised his hand and a crack appeared next to him. Outside was the Immortal Palace. He glanced at the majestic Immortal Palace, and there was some nostalgia in his eyes. "Unfortunately, we are all dead souls. We will not tarnish the Immortal King's palace. You can leave from here.
Su Ping was relieved and thanked the old man at once.
"Since you can come in, it means that the Immortal King Mu is indeed gone. But his divine residence is still there. I know where the Immortal King Mu's storage room is. You can go there and look for it. I don't know if those treasures have decayed over the years. Go find them and let them shine again. At least those treasures will not be buried." The old man sighed.
