On the day of the God of Frost and Chill's coronation, the entire Sky Beyond Heaven was sealed off, no humans were allowed to enter.
The coronation process was both secret and sacred.
No one objected.
Everything went smoothly.
Following the God of Frost and Chill's request, the Golden Flame Divinity personally helped him wear the Divine Crown.
Following that, the 16 Divinities cast a secret technique in front of the Grand Divine Palace and called out in unison.
After a few dozen seconds of chanting, the Divine King Scepter appeared from the void of space and hovered in front of the God of Frost and Chill.
— — -only on the day of the coronation of a new Deity would the Divine King Scepter appear, allowing the new Divine King to use it once.
This was a pure-white scepter that felt unexpectedly heavy in his hand, as if something was flowing inside.
— — -or as if the scepter was filled with flowing mystical power, giving off the illusion that it was full of something.
The God of Frost and Chill raised the Divine King Scepter up high with the crown in his hand.
All the Divinities praised and blessed him.
The new Divine King froze.
He looked at the lines of text that appeared on the War God UI:
[Item: Secret Storage Key]
[Grade: Unique Item]
[War God Skills: None]
[Doomsday Chronicles: None]
[Description: This is a special activation key for a normal storage — — from the Bygone Era]
Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath, turned around, and headed towards the back of the Grand Divine Palace.
He had to head to the inheritance vault to receive the true inheritance of the Divine race, then return to the Grand Divine Palace to announce to all the Divinities that he had learned the fundamental secret of his race and was willing to protect the Divine race.
At that point, the coronation process would be perfectly concluded, and he would truly become the Divine King.
Gu Qing Shan walked along the long hallway of the Grand Divine Palace until he reached the entrance of the inheritance vault.
This was a large metal door with countless complicated runes engraved on it, so much so that even a single glance at it would cause one's soul vessel to suffer a minor impact.
Any attack on the metal door would activate the counter measures on the door.
The attacker's soul vessel attack would directly destroy their consciousness and turn them into a fool.
Sixteen fully-armored Divine Guards stood in front of the giant metal door.
According to the established procedure, Gu Qing Shan walked in front of them and asked in a loud voice, "Loyal guards of the God Clan, servants who have been guarding the secret from birth to death, why have you stopped me from exploring the secret?"
The 16 Divine Guards spoke in unison: 「 If you are not the Divine King, please leave immediately, because you do not have the qualifications to learn the fundamental secret of the Divine Race 」
At this time, Gu Qing Shan showed the God King's Scepter to the 16 Divine Guardians.
When the Divine Guards saw the God King Scepter, they respectfully saluted the new God King and retreated to the two sides of the treasury door, making way for the new God King.
Gu Qing Shan strode in front of the metal door.
As if sensing the arrival of the God King Scepter, all the runes on the metal door lit up.
They formed a rotating vortex around the center of the metal door.
Gu Qing Shan raised the Divine King Scepter and thrust it into the black hole in the middle of all the runes.
Instantly, a beam of light shone down from the metal door and illuminated Gu Qing Shan's body.
His entire body disappeared from the metal door.
A second later, he appeared inside the inheritance treasury.
The God King Scepter also passed through the metal door and silently hovered in front of him.
Gu Qing Shan began to observe his surroundings.
The entire floor of the inheritance treasury was made from the same material as the metal door.
The treasury was about a few hundred square meters in size, but it was completely empty without a single thing.
Gu Qing Shan was stunned for a while.
Nothing appeared. Nothing happened.
The previous Divine King died so suddenly that he didn't have the time to teach him anything — — - or rather, even if the previous Divine King was still alive, he wouldn't have told Gu Qing Shan how to use the treasury.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then grabbed the Divine King Scepter that was hovering in the air.
Instantly, the Divine King Scepter gave off a blinding light.
A cold voice resounded from the Divine King Scepter:
[I have sensed the existence of the warehouse, please allow me to contact the host]
Host …
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the metal floor.
Sensing the light from the scepter, countless runes began to manifest on the floor.
Gu Qing Shan pondered and lightly tapped the scepter on the metal floor.
As soon as the Divine King Scepter touched the floor, layers upon layers of metal rose up from the ground, tightly embedding the scepter inside.
The cold voice resounded again:
[You have the authority to take away a storage item, the authority is determined to be random]
[You have the authority to read the storage image of this warehouse]
[Please choose between taking away the storage item or reading the storage image, according to the authority, you may only choose one of the options]
Gu Qing Shan was stunned.
I can only choose one between the storage item and the secret of the inheritance?
This means that I either have to take away a storage item to upgrade my Card, or I'll only be able to read the storage image of a storage image.
Once I upgrade my Card and obtain a second Lapis-Grade Card, I'll also become a Lapis-Grade Card.
Lapis-Grade Cards aren't as low as Grey Cards.
Little Dusk had also once fallen to the level of a Lapis-Grade Card, but Gu Qing Shan has seen her in battle.
— — -a Card of this level already has a lot of functions, so as long as Gu Qing Shan successfully advances, she'll be able to slowly construct her own Lapis-Grade Card deck.
But what exactly is that storage image?
Could it be the Divine race's most fundamental secret?
— — -but then again, who cares about the secret? I'll fight against the Divine race sooner or later and destroy them all.
So I can choose not to know the secret.
But …
What if that storage image is some sort of important information?
Gu Qing Shan scowled, still a bit unwilling.
Very rarely, he was hesitating.
After careful consideration, Gu Qing Shan still chose the storage image.
Once his coronation ended, the Divine King Scepter would disappear until the next King ascended the throne, then it would reappear.
— — -upgrading my Card can happen sooner or later.
But secrets can't be obtained at any time.
Let's choose the storage image.
That was Gu Qing Shan's decision.
As he was about to say something, a line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.
[If you don't want to regret this, please place both hands on the scepter]
Gu Qing Shan was surprised, then realized something.
He immediately placed both hands on the Divine King Scepter.
The War God System's voice came: [Remember, you owe me a sum of Soul Points. This sum came from my accumulation over a long period of time]
"How much?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
[When you have enough Soul Points, I will tell you] the System replied.
As soon as it said so, the Divine King Scepter began to shake.
Countless glowing runes began to appear on the metal floor.
Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[Currently deconstructing the warehouse's runes]
[Obtained the rune key's construction method]
[In accordance with the warehouse's lowest threshold of warning and kill line, recreating the scepter's runes and defining this time's authorization]
[Authorization has been changed]
[This time's authorization has been confirmed: Obtain a storage image, as well as the most valuable item in the warehouse]
All the notifications disappeared.
Inside the inheritance vault, countless sprites of light appeared from the ground and formed a screen in the air.
A man appeared on the screen.
He spoke: "Regardless, we're all going to leave. I'll leave these personal combat Soul Artifacts behind, after all, bringing too many useless things to the other side is a burden"
He stepped aside on the screen.
Behind this man, numerous balls of light were silently hovering in the air.
The man proudly explained: "These are my personal experiments, a combination of magic and technology, as well as a bit of Chaos element. Although they aren't very useful, they're still an interesting research direction"
"The only thing I need to keep in mind is that these things probably have an expiration date, I can't bring them to the other side of the door"
He lightly tapped one of the balls of light.
The ball of light turned into a miniature humanoid creature that gave off light.
