Humans devour, and the proverb "living off a woman is eternal" holds true.

Out of curiosity, King Locking the Sky and King Desire naturally came to see for themselves.

They didn't feel like they were at a disadvantage. It was certainly nice to be able to personally appreciate such a young and incredibly talented young man.

Even someone as eccentric as the Phantom King was curious about what this wild young man had to rely on, so he came to help his best friend vet him!

Wang Yuewei, the "Locking the Void King," was the first to arrive.

Five years had passed since the last saintess received the inheritance.

Outside of the eight halls of inheritance that were initially shrouded in white light, the light curtains all disappeared.

Lin Hao didn't notice if anyone went out during that time, since the light screen restricted the detection.

It's unclear whether the inheritors of those eight halls took what they could and left, or whether they were completely buried inside.

Longyu personally brought Yuewei over by teleportation, since it wasn't appropriate to make a big fuss about this by using the Virtual Universe Company's channels.

As soon as Lock Sky King appeared, the space around the three of them rippled like solidified glass. His silver armor outlined his slender figure, and his brows carried the coldness of someone who had been through many battles.

Lin Hao nodded to himself—don't misunderstand, I'm not referring to her beauty and figure.

As expected of someone who once trapped and killed twelve alien kings, his control over spatial sealing alone is enough to suffocate ordinary experts.

"Longyu told me about you. Young man, your idea is dangerous. How dare you make a move on us 'older sisters'?"

Yuewei lightly tapped the void with her fingertips, and the light in the entire Hall of Inheritance suddenly twisted into a cage, seemingly similar to the white light shield from before.

Yuewei instantly transformed this space into a private place.

"Since you're here, why don't you try the limited-time trial version first?"

Since everyone had arrived and even proactively sealed off the surrounding space, Lin Hao didn't hesitate and casually activated a Dimensional Wave Chasing technique within Yue Wei's body.

A slight smile finally appeared on Yuewei's icy face: "You, Longyu, no wonder you mastered teleportation so quickly, why didn't you tell me sooner!"

(Details of the three people's discussion on the complementarity and integration of spatial laws are omitted below...)

After spending two and a half years to achieve a hundredfold increase in her genetic level, Yue Wei did not leave. Instead, she chose to stay and work with Lin Hao and Long Yu to comprehend the laws of space, striving to integrate the three branches and fully understand the laws of space.

In the plaza of the Hall of Inheritance, within the sealed space created by Yue Wei, the buzzing sound of colliding laws never ceased throughout the day.

It wasn't until the Desire King and the Illusion King arrived at Demon Mountain that the three reluctantly ended their conversation, and Longyu teleported out to fetch them.

When the Desire King and the Illusion King arrived, they were also extremely surprised to see that the Locked Sky King Yue Wei was also surprised.

They were mostly just there to see and learn, confident that with their skills and abilities, they could leave at any time; their main purpose was to broaden their horizons.

Surprisingly, there were other people besides them who actually came to keep the appointment!

It was still the ever-serious Lock Sky King, but look at the aura on the other side that was far greater than before—the rumors were actually true!

While the Illusion King was still curiously observing the Locked Sky King, the Desire King had already taken action.

Seeing Lin Hao, he wasn't about to be outdone, his lazy voice seeping into his bones: "Little brother, choosing me, are you really not afraid of being eaten alive, with not even bones left?"

A graceful silhouette appeared in the void, each curve seemingly echoing the most primal desires of the universe.

Golden peonies floated in the pinkish-purple mist, each petal a deeply enchanting temptation in Lin Hao's memory.

The moment Longyu removed the jade hairpin in the Hall of Inheritance, the water droplets dripping from Qinia's bath, Aichen, Qianshui, Yelan, and so on...

The King of Desire traced his fingertip across the boy's Adam's apple. "Little brother's sea of ​​consciousness... actually contains so many delicious fragments?"

Lin Hao looked completely entranced, as if he had been affected, but his words were perfectly clear: "Sister's 'Desire and Depravity' is indeed extraordinary! Coincidentally, I'm looking for a sparring partner to practice illusion techniques with."

He actually voluntarily sank into the illusion, and the dimensional waves eroded him in the opposite direction along the threads of desire.

The mist trembled violently, and the pupils of the Desire King, who had revealed his true form, gleamed with an unusual light.

Lin Hao's eyes also lit up as he looked at the beauty before him.

Noticing Lin Hao's gaze, she deliberately loosened her clothes slightly, and that indescribable area rose and fell with her breath, transforming into different alluring shapes.

She approached barefoot, shattering the void, and took the initiative to hug Lin Hao: "Interesting... I originally just wanted to play around with you."

(Details of their discussion and exchange about illusion magic are omitted below...)

Longyu, who couldn't watch the battle from afar, was filled with resentment: "Yuewei acknowledged his strength, and the Desire King discovered an even more interesting toy... This little rascal really is using the two kings as a whetstone."

Even as the alluring figure of the Desire King was still faintly visible in the pinkish-purple mist, Lin Hao felt a chilling, bone-piercing gaze lock onto him.

"Humph--"

An undisguised sneer emanated from the ripples in space.

A rich, dark purple light flowed around a woman dressed in a long black dress, with a face as exquisite as a porcelain doll yet devoid of life.

She exuded a terrifying aura that could freeze emotions, as if she were walking on a frozen abyss.

What's most chilling are those dark purple eyes—no anger, no hatred, only a deathly coldness and a deep-seated contempt for emotions.

Every strand of hair seemed to solidify an absolute denial of this filthy world of love and desire.

She stood there, like a living embodiment of the "law of abstinence from love," rejecting any emotional intimacy.

Phantom King!

At that moment, her gaze swept across the scene:

Desire King, her friend who enjoys manipulating people's hearts, leaned lazily against Lin Hao at this moment. The look in her eyes when she looked at that cosmic-level youth was no longer purely playful. Instead, it was as if she had discovered some extremely interesting and worthwhile treasure. It was a kind of... unsatisfied possessiveness.

The young man named Lin Hao even had a self-righteous, even slightly irritating smile on his face.

"Ho..."

There was not a trace of a smile on the Phantom King's lips, only a chilling mockery. His voice was like a biting winter wind. "A pretty boy who rose to power by pleasing women, is this the 'interesting' thing you came here so eagerly to see? I thought it was some earth-shattering opportunity, but it's nothing more than this! A filthy, vulgar thing, utterly disgusting!"

Her words were like icicles, each one piercing the heart.

The lazy smile on the face of the Desire King faded a bit.

She knew about the Phantom King's past and how much she loathed the word "love".

The pressure Lin Hao felt was not an energy-level pressure, but a spiritual aura composed purely of negativity and contempt, as if it could freeze any positive emotions into ice.

He seemed oblivious to the chill, instead looking at the Illusionary Spirit King with interest: "Sister Illusionary Spirit King, you're mistaken. Everyone comes here to become stronger, to reach a higher level of life and a broader path of laws. As for the process? There are countless paths to enlightenment; who says it has to be filled with bitterness and hatred, with severing all emotions and desires? Can't we cultivate joyfully? Sister, you deeply abhor the word 'emotion,' perhaps because... you have a mental block that's hard to remove?"

"Shut up! You ignorant ants!"

The Illusionary Spirit King's icy voice suddenly rose a notch, the first time she had shown any emotion since her arrival, still filled with chilling anger, "Do you think you can deconstruct the meaning of life with just a glib tongue and a few crooked tricks? The Great Dao? In your eyes, the Great Dao is nothing more than wallowing in superficial flesh games?"

She turned to look at the King of Desire, her tone filled with incomprehension and a barely perceptible disappointment and worry about her friend's "fall": "You, a king, have been seduced by such shallow things? How pathetic!"

The Desire King then smiled and lazily walked towards the Illusion King: "My dear sister~ 'Filth' or 'superficial'... what if this 'filth' could loosen the bottleneck of your laws that has been stagnant for countless epochs? What if this 'superficiality' could multiply your genes and allow your bloodline to leap forward?"

Her beautiful eyes shone with an astonishing light. Her red lips approached the Illusionary Spirit King's ear, and she lowered her voice, which carried a bewitching magic: "We know the Locked Sky King Yue Wei better than anyone. She has a hundredfold increase in genes now! A true sublimation of life! To exchange your most despised 'fleshly desires' for a smooth path to the peak? This deal... is much more worthwhile than severing all feelings and desires!"

The Phantom King's pupils trembled violently!

She stared intently at the King of Desire, then suddenly looked at Lin Hao, and finally her gaze swept sharply towards the nearest palace of inheritance that radiated holy golden light.

A hundredfold increase in genes?!

This was beyond her understanding of "heretical methods"; it was a heaven-defying creation that could overturn any limitation of talent!

A crack finally appeared on the cold mask.

The disdain remained, but mixed in with it was an incredulous shock, and a very slight wavering that even she herself could not perceive?

What she seeks is power, absolute control to isolate herself from all harm, and for this she is willing to deny all "weaknesses".

But what if this "weakness"... becomes a shortcut to greater power?

A huge cognitive contradiction collided within her frozen heart!

The Phantom King's expression shifted constantly, his silence as solid as ice enveloping the surroundings.

After a long while, she suddenly flicked her sleeves!

"Utterly absurd!"

The cold voice seemed even louder than before, but the pure contempt it exuded... had faded?

"Your mind is clouded! You'd better watch yourself!"

After she finished speaking, she stopped looking at anyone and turned to step into the void to leave—the movement was somewhat hasty, unlike her usual cold and composed demeanor.

But the next second—buzz!

A soft yet incredibly strong spatial barrier, shimmering with water, silently formed before her, blocking her path!

Lin Hao smiled and stood in front of her, saying, "Since you're already here, Sister Phantom King, why not... give it a try?"

"Go away!"

The Phantom King's eyes shone brightly, and pure killing intent based on the laws of nature erupted for the first time!

However, her mental shock struck that seemingly fragile curtain of water, only to vanish without a trace!

This barrier, which was initially formed by the fusion of the laws of water and space, was difficult for even her to penetrate for a while!

Lin Hao remained unmoved: "Sister will wait here until the Desire King's gene modification is completed. If you still insist on remaining unmoved by then, I will not stop you from leaving. How about that?"

"..."

The ice layer in the eyes of the Phantom King has finally been completely broken! Want to witness your friend's transformation? Sure!

……

Three years later.

"From now on, call me Sister Xinyao! This name hasn't been mentioned for countless eons."

Subsequently, in front of Lin Hao, the King of Desire personally sent a mass email to all of her male confidants and then blocked them.

Don't contact me again, I'm afraid Lin Hao will misunderstand!

The gentle and unassuming Wang Xinyao and the Illusionary Spirit King got into a fight.

Then, with a deeply conflicted expression, and amidst the teasing glances of Longyu, Yuewei, and Xinyao, the Illusionary King walked towards Lin Hao and entered the last inheritance palace.

Chapter 104 Thank you for the invitation. I just left Demon Mountain and heard there are assassins! (A long chapter of 10,000 words, please subscribe and vote!)

The four sisters finally left satisfied, this time without needing to rely on anyone else, teleporting away on their own.

Two and a half years have passed since everyone received the inheritance!
