“Ding! You have two imperial bloodlines within you. One is the Great Tang Imperial Family’s bloodline, and the other is the Great Qin Imperial Family’s bloodline. Please select which bloodline you would like to take the Legacy Trial for.”

“Warning! The Legacy Trial can only be attempted once, and upon failure, all qualifications to inherit a legacy will be made void.”

“Legacy Trial? Great Tang Imperial Family bloodline? Great Qin Imperial Family bloodline?”

At this moment, Zhao Fu was standing in a gray, foggy area. When he heard that announcement, he felt quite confused because he had no idea what was going on. He remembered that he had been holding the crystal before he fainted, and was in this space when he had woken up.

Even though he didn’t know what a Legacy Trial was, when Zhao Fu heard ‘Great Tang Imperial Family bloodline,’ he couldn’t help but grit his teeth and clench his fists. He would never forget what happened on that rainy day even until he died, and was filled with hatred and disgust towards that bloodline.

From what he knew, the Li family was a descendent of the Great Tang Imperial family, so the Great Qin Imperial Family’s bloodline was definitely from his mother. As such, Zhao Fu didn’t hesitate to choose the Great Qin Imperial Family bloodline.

“Selection complete!”

A one hundred meters or so tall altar slowly appeared in front of Zhao Fu. The altar was made of black stones, and each step was about twenty-five centimeters high and half a meter wide. The altar seemed to extend up into the clouds, giving off an ancient, majestic, and dignified feeling.

When Zhao Fu stepped onto the first step, he felt his body become heavy as a pressure weighed down on him. In the beginning, the pressure was not very great, but as he advanced step after step, the pressure pressing down on him became more and more intense.

By the time Zhao Fu had climbed up half of the altar, his body was covered with sweat, drenching him completely. He was barely able to stand firmly on the steps, and he swayed as if he was going to fall.

However, Zhao Fu gritted his teeth and continued, walking step by step up the altar. Soon, illusions started to appear. Some were incredibly beautiful women doing their best to entice him, followed by other illusions of power and money.

These illusions may have caused normal people to have chased after them, making them unable to extract themselves from them, but Zhao Fu’s cold heart was completely unaffected.

Finally, after much effort and hardship, Zhao Fu finally stood on the top of the altar. His mind felt empty and clear when countless images started to flash before his eyes, all of which were related to the Great Qin Empire’s beginning, rise, and downfall.

The scenes started to play before his eyes like a movie, starting from the Qin family’s ancestor ‘Qin Feizi.’ He was a skilled horse breeder who gained the favor of the King of Zhou and was given a small piece of land on which he established his fief.

Then, there were scenes of ‘King Ying Zheng of Qin’ destroying the six states in ten years, unifying China, and establishing the ‘Qin Dynasty.’

In the end, King Ying Ziying of Qin surrendered to Liu Bang, resulting in the end of the Qin Dynasty.

Zhao Fu stared at the scenes, feeling as if he was right there. The rise of Great Qin caused his blood to boil, while the fall of Great Qin caused him to feel desolation.
