Looking at the violet-gold crystal on the altar in the distance, Chen Heng hesitated.
Unless he had no other choice or was sure that it was safe, he did not want to touch the things on the altar.
However, right now, he did not have any other choice.
The mystic realm in front of them seemed huge, majestic, and extremely mysterious, but in reality, most of the area was shrouded by the golden flames.
The golden flames burned intensely, and Chen Heng did not know if they were mysterious or not, but they seemed to contain some sort of special power.
Chen Heng did not want to use his own body to see if these flames could burn him to death.
Apart from the golden flames, the only thing left in this place was the altar and the purplish-gold crystal on it.
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Heng slowly walked up to the altar.
He walked incredibly carefully, and even though it was only a short distance, he walked for a long time.
However, even though he walked incredibly carefully, when he reached the altar, he did not hesitate to stretch out his hand and grab the violet-gold crystal.
A warm feeling rose up from his palm and became hotter and hotter.
Holding this violet-gold crystal, Chen Heng could not help but frown.
At this moment, he had an inexplicable feeling that what he was holding wasn't a crystal, but a fireball.
The searing fire burned, and the crystal in his hand had become an orb of flames.
The violet-gold flames madly spread, starting from Chen Heng's palm and covering his entire body.
Finally, he stood in front of the altar, his body covered by the violet-gold flames. At a glance, he looked like a person made of fire.
Searing heat, pain …
The intense pain battered Chen Heng's body and mind, making him feel incredibly uncomfortable.
However, he did not panic and calmly stood there.
He felt that the owner of this secret realm would not have set up all of this just to send people to their deaths.
There had to be other arrangements.
Otherwise, if he wanted to kill someone, why would he go through so much trouble?
He endured the pain all over his body as this thought flashed through his mind.
The flames continued to burn around Chen Heng's body, seeming to burn him from the inside out.
The intense pain continued for a long time.
Chen Heng endured the pain, but his consciousness gradually became hazy.
"Is it going to end?"
The thought flashed through his mind.
Looking at the situation, if the fire continued to burn like this, even if his body could withstand it, his consciousness would collapse and he would die from the pain.
He didn't know what went wrong. Perhaps it was because the owner of this mystic realm was waiting for Song Qi and not him?
But no matter what, at this point, he was almost unable to hold on any longer, and he was most likely going to fall here.
Death?
Chen Heng was not afraid of death.
It was not like he had never died before. In fact, he had died quite a few times.
Including the few simulations, it had been quite a few times.
To him, even if he died again, it wouldn't be a big deal.
The only unfortunate thing was that he had spent 500 Points on this simulation.
That was his only regret.
But now, it seemed like there was no other way.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind as he calmly waited for the final result to arrive.
However, what surprised Chen Heng was that at that moment, a voice sounded out from the void.
"Appraisal passed …"
A cold voice sounded out from the void, sounding like a machine. It was incredibly cold and emotionless.
After this voice sounded out, the violet-gold flames around Chen Heng's body instantly disappeared.
His body returned to its original state, and even the clothes on his body were not damaged.
It was just that the feeling from before was deeply engraved in his body.
"Just a test?"
Chen Heng half-knelt on the ground, panting.
Unknowingly, his back was already drenched in cold sweat, and he looked rather disheveled.
However, Chen Heng did not mind and only breathed heavily.
He continued to look ahead, waiting for the next change.
Since it was a test, after passing it, it would either be the end of the test or a new test.
As expected, there was a sudden change in front of them.
A faint mist drifted away and continuously condensed, finally condensing into a hazy figure in front of him.
This was a man in a white robe. His white hair was soft and smooth, and he wore a mask on his face. Everything was hidden under the mask, making him seem especially mysterious and extraordinary.
"So it wasn't the King who came here but the General …"
Ahead of him, the man sat on the altar. He opened his eyes and looked at Chen Heng, who was half-kneeling on the ground and gasping for breath, looking quite surprised.
"The King and the General?"
Chen Heng raised his head and thought about the murals from before, and he quickly understood what she meant.
The so-called King was most likely Song Qi, and as for the General, that was him.
Song Qi's identity was Great Qi's Prince, the Liunan Prince. As for Chen Heng, he was Song Qi's General.
King and General, these two titles were very suitable for their status.
"So what if I'm the General?"
Looking at the man in front of him, Chen Heng said with great difficulty.
"It won't matter."
The man did not move and only said, "I set up this altar here to leave behind my legacy and find someone to inherit it …
"Do you know what needs to be fulfilled to inherit my legacy?"
He asked as he looked at Chen Heng.
Chen Heng shook his head and asked in a probing manner, "Talent? Will? "
"Will is indeed required."
The man nodded, "However, it's not too important.
"Talent, aptitude … these things are important to others, but to me, they are not.
"If you want to inherit my legacy, you don't need exceptional talent or a powerful background. You just need to fulfill one thing …
"Only those who break free from their original fate and break free from their restrictions can inherit my legacy …"
He looked at Chen Heng and spoke in an ethereal voice.
Chen Heng's body froze.
"Only those who break free from their original fate and break free from their restrictions can inherit my legacy …"
Those words continuously echoed in Chen Heng's mind.
"Everything in this world, all living beings, have their own destiny …"
Looking at Chen Heng, the man said calmly, "Mortals cannot break free from their fate and can only follow their own fate.
"However, the world is vast and full of wonders. There will always be some people who will break free from their fate and become variables in the world.
"Only variables can inherit my legacy and become my legatee."
He said as he looked at Chen Heng.
Standing there and hearing these words, Chen Heng frowned.
"All living beings in the world have their own fate?"
He muttered to himself. At this moment, these words kept flashing through his mind.
In the past, Chen Heng had never believed in fate and had never thought about this question.
He had never believed that everything a person did could be explained by fate.
As such, he looked at the man in front of him and said, "If a person's fate has already been decided, what use is their hard work?
Of course it has its uses. "
The man once again nodded and said, "A person's fate is like a line, and there are many things that they will experience.
"Just like how mortals will definitely die …
"But there are many things outside of this that can be changed."
"However, no matter how they change, they are still within their fate.
"So you set your eyes on the Liunan Prince?"
Chen Heng frowned as he asked, "Because he fits the requirements?"
Song Qi had gone back in time.
Since he had gone back in time, he naturally would not follow his original path. According to what the man in front of him said, he had broken free from fate and met the requirements.
Perhaps this was why the other party had made such arrangements?
