“Sure enough, it worked.”

Shi Feng saw the azure glow of the key flow into the golden gate. Instantly, the golden gate burst forth with golden light, like the sun, illuminating the entire Eternal Garden.

The golden gate slowly opened with a creaking sound, and a wave of icy cold air surged out from inside. Shi Feng reacted quickly, leaping back immediately.

However, Shi Feng was in the water, and his retreat speed was significantly reduced. He was still touched by the surging cold air.

Shi Feng only felt a knife-like pain, instantly losing 2,000 points of health.

"The cold air here is so powerful."

Shi Feng looked at his health bar. Fortunately, his ice resistance was high enough, or he would have died just now. He took out an Intermediate Recovery Potion from his backpack, drank it in one gulp, and restored a lot of his health.

With his 60 points of ice resistance, he could instantly lose 2,000 points of health. One could imagine how cold it was inside the golden gate.

Fortunately, after the golden gate was fully opened, the cold air also dissipated, and it was no longer so cold inside.

After Shi Feng entered, the hall was filled with various golden sculptures, all depicting ancient gods.

Among the many sculptures, an imposing man holding a sharp sword was very eye-catching. The man stood upright in the center of the entire hall, and the surrounding ground was covered with swords, more than a thousand at a casual glance, as if all these swords were submitting to the man.

Even the Abyssal Blade, the demonic weapon in Shi Feng's hand, faintly lost a bit of his control, wanting to fly over and submit at the man's feet.

Shi Feng felt unbelievable.

It was just a statue, yet it could make the Abyssal Blade, a demonic weapon that even he was wary of, submit. How strong was that man when he was alive?

Below the statue was a deep blue crystal ball, radiating an astonishing chill.

Seeing the deep blue crystal ball, Shi Feng immediately understood.

The reason why the entire pool was so cold was all because of the deep blue crystal ball in front of him.

This made Shi Feng's heart stir.

Being able to make such a large pool so cold, it was definitely a treasure.

Immediately, Shi Feng quickly swam to the deep blue crystal ball, wanting to try to take it away.

Before Shi Feng's hand touched the deep blue crystal ball, an unbearable pain came from his fingers, and a thousand points of damage popped up above his head, forcing Shi Feng to give up.

Seeing such a powerful treasure, but not being able to obtain it, Shi Feng felt a pang of regret in his heart.

Just as Shi Feng was preparing to look for other treasures, the system prompt rang again.

System: The will of the ancient gods is scattered throughout the Eternal Hall. Are you willing to submit to this will?

Before Shi Feng knew what was happening, a series of majestic voices kept echoing in his mind.

"Submit to me, and I will grant you unparalleled power. Even the gods will tremble. From now on, you will be the strongest in this world!"

"Submit to me, and you can obtain eternal life, becoming the eternal master of this world!"

…

Listening to the alluring and tempting voices in his mind, Shi Feng was immediately lost in thought, seemingly about to choose to submit to this will.

But just as Shi Feng was about to speak,

Suddenly, Shi Feng's mind recalled the various experiences of the past.

In his previous life, he was kicked out of God's Domain by Xiong Ba Tian Xia because he did not submit, but he still did not give in and prepared to start all over again.

In this life, he faced the Martial Arts Alliance, faced Dark Star, faced the Underworld. If he had chosen to submit, he could have lived a better life, but he didn't.

It was because he didn't want to be controlled by others, his fate controlled by others, becoming a puppet on a string.

Now he was being asked to submit?

Just as Shi Feng was about to refuse, the majestic voice once again opened its mouth to tempt him: "Don't you want to become the master of this world? As long as you submit to me, I can give you everything you want!"

"If that's the case, I only want the ability to say 'no.' Can you give me that?" Shi Feng said, choosing to refuse submission.

"Foolish mortal!"

"You will regret your choice today!"

"Since you don't want to become my servant, then go to die!"

Unable to bewitch Shi Feng, the will was very angry, and the entire hall began to become unusually oppressive.

Instantly, the thousands of sharp swords stuck in the ground flew up, all aimed at Shi Feng, and shot away.

Shi Feng hurriedly wanted to use Doppelganger, but then discovered that he had been silenced and could not use Doppelganger at all.

Doppelganger was useless, and Shi Feng wanted to move to resist, but found that his body could not move either.

He could only watch helplessly as the sharp swords pierced through the air.

Just as the sharp swords were about to pierce Shi Feng, the deep blue crystal ball suddenly shone brightly with silver light, and all the sharp swords stopped in mid-air, motionless. At this moment, it was as if the time in the entire space had stopped.

After a second, all the sharp swords in mid-air shattered, like a mirror being broken, crashing and scattering all over the ground.

After that, the space in the entire hall also made a cracking sound, and cracks appeared, and then the space in the entire hall shattered. The oppressive feeling that Shi Feng had felt before disappeared, and his body could move freely.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

"How dare you ruin my good deed!"

"Although this Chosen One has rejected me, I can go and find other Chosen Ones. You can't stop me, and this lowly Chosen One will die here completely!"

The will was very angry, and then the entire hall began to tremble. The golden gate suddenly closed tightly, and the hall began to collapse.

The deep blue crystal ball, which had been radiating silver light before, was now like it had lost its power, dim and dull, with none of the previous coldness.

Although Shi Feng didn't know what was happening,

But hearing that the Chosen One would also die here completely, Shi Feng understood one thing very clearly.

Escape!

Shi Feng immediately grabbed the deep blue crystal ball, put it into his backpack, and used Doppelganger.

In the blink of an eye, Shi Feng appeared outside the pool.

There was only one second left before the Doppelganger disappeared. It could be said that it was a close call.

"That was close. Fortunately, I had a trick up my sleeve, or I would have really died." Shi Feng looked at the suddenly exploding pool, secretly rejoicing.

Doppelganger is truly a life-saving skill.

Although his life was on the line before, Shi Feng also obtained a treasure on this trip to the pool. It could be considered a worthwhile trip.

Thinking of the amazing power of the deep blue crystal ball before, Shi Feng couldn't help but feel happy.

That will was the will of an ancient god, and it could break through the seal of the ancient god's will. It was definitely not an ordinary treasure.

This made Shi Feng impatiently open his backpack, wanting to immediately see what kind of treasure the deep blue crystal ball was.

Even Legendary items probably didn't have that ability.

But when Shi Feng clicked to display the data, the result showed that it could not be read. Then Shi Feng used the Eye of Omniscience, and the result completely surprised Shi Feng.

Even the Eye of Omniscience, which could analyze items that surpassed eternity, could not analyze it…

He couldn't even touch it anymore. As long as he touched it, his health would immediately decrease by 1,000 points…

This made Shi Feng completely helpless and had to give up the idea of using it.

If he wanted to use it, he would have to wait until he raised his ice resistance to one or two hundred points in the future.

Although the deep blue crystal ball was useless, the Book of Inheritance gave Shi Feng a surprise.

Just as Shi Feng had guessed,

The Eternal Garden was indeed the place to increase completion.

Now the completion of the Book of Inheritance had reached 92%, and he had obtained an SS-rank evaluation.
