Su Xue's heart was pounding in her throat. She knew that if Ye Ningze were to have an accident here, she might be trapped forever.
Su Xue had no desire to stay in this place, which was nothing but emptiness. Only when Ye Ningze fully accepted the inheritance could he take her away. Su Xue was perfectly clear about this.
Therefore, she could only hope that Ye Ningze would accept the inheritance and successfully take her away from this place.
So, when she saw Ye Ningze's increasingly pained expression, Su Xue became utterly flustered.
How she wished she could help Ye Ningze bear some of the burden. But it seemed she couldn't help him at all; in fact, her presence might even be a hindrance.
Thus, Su Xue could only stand rooted to the spot, letting events unfold.
Now, the only one who could help Ye Ningze was Ye Ningze himself. About an hour later,
Ye Ningze finally calmed down, but Su Xue's heart remained unsettled.
Because Su Xue knew that what appeared calm was often the most turbulent, a raging storm.
Therefore, no one knew what state Ye Ningze was in at the moment.
At this time, Ye Ningze was in a rather mystical state. Originally, humans had only one spirit, or rather, humans possessed only one spiritual body, which was their self-awareness.
But now, Ye Ningze possessed a primary consciousness and a subsidiary consciousness, meaning Ye Ningze now had two selves.
He couldn't be sure which was the real him, but he could clearly feel that both selves were constantly providing him with perceptions of the entire world.
As Ye Ningze's mental strength greatly increased, he felt the power within his body also grow. This enhancement was different from how others experienced self-awareness through their senses.
Instead, he could better integrate with the surrounding world and environment. In short, the feeling was quite strange, like a sense of unity between man and nature.
It was precisely this unity that allowed Ye Ningze to more skillfully merge his own power with the surrounding forces.
After an unknown period, Su Xue suddenly felt an ancient behemoth appear before her. This ancient behemoth was opening its massive maw, its lantern-like eyes staring directly at her.
Su Xue knew clearly that the so-called behemoth before her was Ye Ningze. She hadn't expected him to possess such terrifying power immediately after awakening.
It seemed he had finally received the inheritance. Ye Ningze receiving the power inheritance was a good thing for him.
But at this moment, Ye Ningze displayed such a chilling aura that, for a moment, Su Xue thought the person before her was no longer Ye Ningze.
Otherwise, how could he emanate such a presence that seemed to devour everything?
So, Su Xue was unsure if the Ye Ningze before her was the person she knew.
She remembered that the Ye Ningze she knew had a good relationship with her, and she was sure he would ensure her safety in any situation. But if this guy had already been consumed by the other party's mental power,
then she might be killed by the person in front of her. Thus, Su Xue maintained a certain distance from Ye Ningze.
After a moment, Ye Ningze opened his eyes and looked at Su Xue, who was on guard.
Su Xue's wary expression perfectly indicated her fear of Ye Ningze. After a brief thought, Ye Ningze immediately understood why she was so afraid of him.
So, Ye Ningze smiled slightly and said to Su Xue before him,
"Don't worry, I'm still the person you know, so you don't need to fear that I will attack you."
With Ye Ningze's assurance, Su Xue gradually began to relax.
"Do you have any special feelings?"
Su Xue was eager to know how receiving the inheritance would bring different sensations to Ye Ningze's body and overall condition.
After a moment of sensing, Ye Ningze responded to Su Xue before him:
"I feel like my body isn't like it received an inheritance, but more like it received a key, a key to unlock higher realms."
When Ye Ningze said this, Su Xue was utterly stunned.
Such an answer was like a strange question receiving an even stranger answer.
The question was strange because they had never encountered such a situation, and the answer was strange because they had never imagined such a response.
After a long while, Su Xue slowly shook her head and said to Ye Ningze,
"I don't know what kind of inheritance you received, but I believe this inheritance is definitely a good thing for you. That's enough. Setting aside the inheritance for now, how do we leave this place?"
Ye Ningze was silent for a moment, then looked at the palace formed by mental energy before him and finally said to Su Xue,
"I remember telling you earlier that what I obtained is a key, and this key is precisely the key to opening and closing this secret realm. This means I can come and go freely."
When Su Xue heard this, she was completely dumbfounded. She never imagined that this secret realm would become Ye Ningze's personal property.
If that were the case, then Ye Ningze would have gained all the power of this secret realm.
After all, if Ye Ningze truly obtained all the power of this secret realm, it would mean that Ye Ningze could summon this secret realm to his side at any time.
Such a massive secret realm, with such abundant resources, it would be impossible for the people led by Ye Ningze not to rise in the Sun Base.
Therefore, this was an excellent opportunity for Ye Ningze. After all, with resources, it was quite simple to establish oneself in a place.
However, this also meant the emergence of another problem: innocent possession of treasure invites disaster.
Ye Ningze possessed such immense resources, and the number of people who would want to seize these resources from Ye Ningze would certainly not be small.
Therefore, Ye Ningze needed friends, needed people who could stand behind him and fight against these individuals together.
And Su Xue's family was the best choice. For Ye Ningze, Su Xue's relationship with him was closer than that of ordinary people.
