Above the altar, the middle-aged woman's expression became even more complicated as she watched Lin Yan climb the stairs.
He is an artifact spirit with no parents or sisters, no friends or relatives.
He was an artifact spirit from the Star God Sect who was born emotionless.
But after millions of years of living, he gradually gained a bit of the emotion that humans had.
"What will he get by doing this?"
When he saw the finished boy climbing up to the middle of the altar, but behind him, the bloody path was marked with blood red.
However, the boy still carried the young girl into his arms.
…
Even though his body had long been exhausted and unsteady, Lin Yan was still holding Xiao Yanran.
After taking each step, he would stop to rest for a long time.
Blood continued to flow out from under his feet, even under such circumstances, he still continued walking.
At first glance, he seemed on the verge of death.
Especially since he was holding Xiao Yanran in his hand at the moment, it was obvious that Lin Yan's arms and eyes were already trembling now.
And the tremors are getting worse and worse.
However, no matter what, he never let go of his hand and he remained tightly holding Xiao Yanran in his hand.
One step!
Two steps!
Three steps!
.
.
As Lin Yan climbed up, he had to endure the immense pressure that was accreting at every moment.
Looking at his condition, everyone felt that Lin Yan could fall at any moment.
But his expression was calm and his eyes were still like water and looked calm.
Time passed bit by bit, and Lin Yan's speed, although slow, he never stopped.
And finally, he managed to appear above the altar.
When he stepped onto the last step, Lin Yan's calm face showed a hint of a relaxed expression.
However, he immediately fell to the ground with a thud.
“Please...please..”.
"Now.now can..you, quickly.cure my sister."
Lin Yan, who was on the ground, spoke with a heavy and claustrophobic breath.
Instead, he waited for Lin Yan to catch his breath, and then spoke, "To receive the power of the Star God, you still have to pass the last level."
"Last level?"
Hearing this, Lin Yan's eyes revealed a hint of unwillingness.
He no longer had the strength to go any further.
The middle-aged woman seemed to look into Lin Yan's mind and shook her head.
He then pointed to Xiao Yanran at the side and said, "For the last level, you don't need to continue climbing the altar anymore, but that is to choose an heir between you and him."
"What?"
Lin Yan looked at the middle-aged woman, and a low voice came out from his mouth, "You mean, between my sister and me, only one can receive the power of a Star God?"
The middle-aged woman nodded: "Yes, the remaining resources of the Star God Sect are only enough to nurture one disciple. Even though the two of you have ascended to the altar, only one of you can become the successor of the Star God Sect."
"P*rsatan with you!"
Lin Yan's red eyes exploded with anger, and for the first time he started cursing people.
"Why didn't you say this before."
The middle-aged woman looked calm and said, "Letting heirs compete with each other is also one of the rules, and I can't break the rules."
"...Only one can be the successor."
Lin Yan suppressed the anger in his heart, and while lying on the ground with all of his strength exhausted, he looked up at the sky.
And
Just a moment or less from that, Lin Yan had regained his usual composure, sighed and said, "Save my sister and let her become the successor of the Star God Sect."
…
Outside the Linglong Treasure Mirror.
The people who were planning to see Lin Yan made himself look foolish, at this moment all fell silent.
Even after Lin Yan ascended to the altar, they still thought that the artifact spirit would find out that Xiao Yanran was more talented and also had the highest bones, so he firmly left Lin Yan.
This way, they would be happy to see such a scene happen where a future Heavenly Emperor was troubled.
But they never expected that even in such a life and death situation, the Young Heavenly Emperor actually let go of the opportunity without hesitation.
Even if the great saints (a great sage) and the immortal (an immortal) were given this kind of opportunity, they would easily choose to become the successors of the Ancient sect, rather than giving it to others.
"Yanran, if it were you, you would definitely do the same." Lin Feng said with a determined face.
When Lin Yan said these words, however, Xiao Yanran actually already did not want to look into the Linglong Treasure Mirror in front of him.
After all, he knew clearly in his heart that it was the moment when his Farthest Bone would awaken and change everything.
“When my highest bone woke up back then, I thought I would be able to make her a little happy so she wouldn't have to worry about me all the time. "Xiao Yanran silently said in her heart.
