Soon after the Nightmare Tapir spoke, Lin Huang sensed the tanned man's aura. Indeed, it was completely different from before.
He looked down at the deep pit with his guard up.
He was even more confused about what exactly Qi Muxiong was trying to do.
In the deep pit, the tanned man's aura soon stabilized.
Meanwhile, the lady in the black dress and the pale-faced young man who were fighting not far away retreated out of the battle all of a sudden and stopped fighting.
Nine-tailed Cat and the Destructive Divine Mammoth wanted to go after them, but Lin Huang stopped them. They retreated to his side and stopped fighting.
The lady in the black dress and the pale-faced young man stood where they were not far away. They did not even look like they were alive. Instead, they looked more like two puppets that had lost their controllers.
Meanwhile, an aura rose rapidly from the bottom of the deep pit.
Approximately two to three seconds later, the tanned man's silhouette shot into the sky from the deep pit. He only stopped rising when he arrived at the same height as Lin Huang. He hovered less than 100 meters away from Lin Huang.
The Shackle Serpent on Lin Huang's arm had a change of expression again.
However, the tanned man stretched his arm this time and blocked the Shackle Serpent's seal directly.
"Don't worry. You've passed my test. The God Figurine won't attack anymore. "
"Qi Muxiong?" Lin Huang stopped the God Figurine's Combat Souls from attacking and asked in a testing manner.
"You know my name. It seems like you've obtained the inheritance that I left in the gravel world." The tanned man then took a good look at Lin Huang. "I can also sense the inheritance in your body."
He spoke again after taking a good look, "To be exact, I'm not Qi Muxiong. I'm just a sliver of his consciousness that's left behind. I can't even be considered as a soul remnant. I'm just a remnant of his consciousness residing in the God Figurine now. "
"Young man, how should I address you?" Qi Muxiong asked after briefly explaining his identity.
"Lin Huang." Lin Huang did not hide his identity.
Before Qi Muxiong could speak again, Lin Huang asked first, "How do you prove that you're Qi Muxiong?"
"Proof?" The tanned man was stunned when he heard this, then laughed. "The inheritance I left in the gravel world wasn't complete, and some of the information was even fake. Now, I can give you the complete inheritance of memory. This should be enough to prove that I am Qi Muxiong, right? "
As the dark-skinned man's voice fell, he pointed his finger in the air.
A golden light quickly condensed on his fingertip, and then slowly floated out, floating in front of Lin Huang.
Lin Huang reached out and caught the thumb-sized ball of golden light. The golden light slowly seeped into his palm and then disappeared.
The moment the golden light entered his body, countless information appeared in Lin Huang's mind.
Even some of Qi Muxiong's information was overwritten.
Lin Huang closed his eyes and digested it for two to three minutes before he roughly browsed through the inheritance.
After opening his eyes, he looked at the tanned man with even more astonishment.
"Your combat strength is only on imperial-level?!"
"Are you surprised? Aren't you an imperial-level too? "The tanned man looked like it was only natural.
Lin Huang was speechless at that moment.
He had always thought that Qi Muxiong's real combat strength was on virtual god-level. Never had he thought that he would be on imperial-level just like him.
"I thought your first question would be what's a traveler or what's a Goldfinger." The tanned man looked at Lin Huang while smiling. "I didn't expect you to be more honest than I thought."
Lin Huang did not respond to that. He did not deny that he was a traveler, nor did he admit it.
The reason why he did not pretend that he did not know what a traveler was was because he guessed that Qi Muxiong might have sensed the existence of the Goldfinger in his body. Just like how he could vaguely sense the existence of Qi Muxiong's Goldfinger.
"Since your ability is close to True God, why didn't you disguise your combat strength as a Virtual God in the gravel world? Why did you disguise yourself as a demigod instead?" Lin Huang changed the topic after a moment of silence.
Fortunately, Qi Muxiong did not plan to pester him.
"There were only a handful of Virtual Gods in the era that we're in, but there were many demigods. Disguising as a Virtual God would attract too much attention. Since there were more demigods, they wouldn't receive as much attention. "
"Is your real self still alive?" Lin Huang asked the third question immediately.
The tanned man's expression finally turned rather serious upon hearing that question. "I'm not sure."
"Most probably, he's dead. However, we can't rule out the possibility that he survived through some special method. He might've been reincarnated. I've no idea about the exact situation. "
"What exactly happened to your real self? Theoretically, with your talent and potential and the help of your Goldfinger, it's only a matter of time before you elevated to lord-level. Why did he die all of a sudden? " Lin Huang was very curious about that, but there was nothing about it in the inherited memory that Qi Muxiong had given him.
The tanned man fell into silence for a moment before speaking slowly.
"When my real self was in the gravel world, I explored an ancient ruin and found a clue left behind by a traveler by accident. The clue made him unusually excited because he thought he might have the same kind. I didn't expect that this clue would be the beginning of misfortune. "
"He spent more than a year before he finally found a clue in another ruin. With this clue as his goal, he headed to the great world. Who would have thought that these so-called clues would lead him into a trap, a deadly trap woven by the Marauders … "
Lin Huang couldn't help but frown.
This was not the first time he had heard the word 'Plunderer'.
Yang Ling had mentioned about the Raiders before. According to Yang Ling's description, Marauders were not easy to deal with.
The Raiders were a group of dangerous Transmigrators who hunted other Transmigrators and stole their Goldfingers.
Yang Ling's golden finger was stolen by this group of people, causing her to be unable to recover for hundreds of years.
"In fact, transmigrators don't just come from the planet this body is on. There are also many other planets and civilizations, even at different points in time and in different universes. So, not all transmigrators are kind to others of the same kind. "
"The Raiders are a group of people who are malicious to all other transmigrators. They hunt transmigrators and rely on robbing other transmigrators of their Goldfingers to strengthen their own. To achieve this, they are willing to use all sorts of despicable means. "
"My real self followed the clues left behind in the ruins and encountered such a group of people in the great world. They looked extremely friendly on the surface, but in reality, it was all a disguise. Fortunately, my real self noticed something unusual in time and found a chance to escape from the gathering place of the Raiders. However, he was also hunted down and was severely injured, almost dying. "
"It wasn't until I returned to this virtual zone that I got rid of them. However, at that time, my injuries were too severe and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to make it back to the gravel world. I had no choice but to set up this ruin while I still had the strength to do so, and I left my remnant consciousness behind. "
"As for what happened after that, I don't know …"
"When did this happen?" Lin Huang quickly asked. "Do you know the specific year?"
"Era Calendar Year 5536." The Remnant Thought reported the Old Era Calendar.
"The Virtual Eye opened in Era 5538, which was two years after Qi Muxiong set up this ruin. This means that Qi Muxiong didn't have a Goldfinger in his body during the war over 800 years ago because he left his Goldfinger in this ruin. Moreover, it's highly possible that his injuries had yet to recover. He might even be at the end of his rope. Therefore, the rumor that Qi Muxiong died in that war might be true … "
