Inside the dark and ancient palace, there were only nine crystal balls giving out dimming light, illuminating the entire palace. When the 299 great beings flew into the palace, Duan Dong River was already sitting in the throne and looking down with a smile on his face. "You can start to know the real inheritance now that you've arrived here," he said.
"Inheritance?"
"Real inheritance?"
Every power knew that only one could receive the complete inheritance. However, even if one could only receive part of the inheritance and bring back the information, it would be worth it.
"Even part of the inheritance might provide a way to transcend incarnation. Once I find a way, I'll self-destruct," said some. "I have other bodies, so I can still live... But if I'm attacked by Duan Dong River, I might die forever." Many great beings who had overcome the first obstacle thought this way.
There were 299 great beings. Two of them had overcome the third obstacle, and five had overcome the second obstacle. There wouldn't be any chance for those who had only overcome the first obstacle. If they were smart, they should have just gathered some information and left immediately.

Duan Dong River, seeing those great beings excited, said, "Don't hurry. Theoretically, you can all start the real inheritance. However... I have something to ask."
"Ask?"
Everyone was anxious. They all cursed Duan Dong River for creating so much trouble.
"I'll spare the other candidates, but I do want to ask the seven universe supreme masters..."
Duan Dong River looked down at the seven universe supreme masters. Out of the seven, six were from the first universe era while one was from the second. They were way behind this time, and they had been crushed during the Rhinoceros Game.
"If you don't answer appropriately, you lose your chance to receive inheritance," said Duan Dong River.
The seven universe supreme masters were shocked.
"It's not that I'm not giving you a chance, but Duan Dong River has special requirements for miniature universes," said Duan Dong River. "Once a miniature universe is formed, the path will be restricted. If the structures of your miniature universes cannot meet my requirements, you won't be qualified to receive inheritance."
"Ah!"
"The structures of miniature universes?"
All the universe supreme masters were dazed.
"Universe masters and universe knights are relatively weak and haven't formed miniature universes yet," said Duan Dong River. "They don't have this problem. The one who receives the inheritance from Duan Dong River will be instructed how to structure his miniature universe. However, they are already fixed. Let me ask you this. What are your miniature universes like?"
"Well..."
All the supreme masters were hesitant. They all desired to answer with the kind of miniature universes Duan Dong River wanted, yet they could just invent an answer; Duan Dong River wasn't dumb enough to accept it. At the same time, other 292 great beings were all relieved, as it was the universe supreme masters who had to take the bullet.
No wonder, thought Luo Feng. He understood now. No wonder the two holy lands didn't send any universe supreme masters. It seems that Duan Dong River allows universe supreme masters to become inheritors, but he has set an extremely high threshold, as well as special requirements for the structures of miniature universes. The universe supreme masters don't even have miniature universes anymore, so there aren't any structures. But there are requirements for miniature universes.
