Lin Fan looked around himself and he found that there wasn't a single person with him.

He was sure that he had entered the gate at the exact same moment as Angela, yet somehow they had been transported into different locations. ​​

As Lin Fan was wondering what had just happened, there was a sudden sharp pain in his head.

It was just a jolt of pain before words began forming in his mind.

As one word formed, more and more words began forming in his mind until they formed a complete set of instructions. These instructions were detailed instructions on what seemed to be the first trial of this inheritance.

It read as the following.

"Welcome youngling to my Inheritance Realm."

"I never expected someone like me to fall in the Void Battleground, but here we are in the end."

"If you are deemed worthy of my inheritance, all I ask that you take care of my Xie Family and if you aren't, I hope that you will take care of my Xie Family because of your gains in my Inheritance Realm."

Then after that, there were the strict rules of the first round.

"The first round will last for 48 hours. It will consist of hunting beasts and surviving."

"How could one lack battle experience when it comes to being an expert? But the most terrifying thing sometimes in this world are other people."

The rules of the first round were simple. There were spirit beasts released all over this minor realm and each kill would reward one with points. The points were based on the cultivation of the spirit beast, going from one point for an Iron Beast to over a million points for a King Beast. But of course, the prerequisite for that was being able to kill one.

Lin Fan couldn't help thinking that whoever set these rules were crazy.

The age limit for this Inheritance Realm was fifty and it would be crazy to even think about a fifty year old Platinum Realm Expert, not to mention a fifty year old Legendary Realm Expert!

Yet, there were King Beasts running loose in this minor realm, wasn't that setting a wolf on a pack of sheep?

Thinking this, Lin Fan made his first priority finding Angela because if anything went wrong, he could at least have her protect him.

What he didn't know was that Angela was currently running all over the realm looking for him. She had sensed the King Beasts in the minor realm and knew that it wasn't a joke. She also knew that Lin Fan wasn't strong enough to face a King Beast and when she thought of this, she couldn't help feeling a bit anxious.

Then there was the part about people being the most terrifying thing.

That part meant that people could kill each other to steal their points, which meant that you couldn't truly trust anyone. But for Lin Fan, he knew that he could trust Angela since this inheritance didn't mean anything to her at all.

Lin Fan knew that he couldn't be negligent, so the first thing he did was have Brainy release parasite seeds into nearby beasts to scout the area.

As Brainy grew stronger, it refined its control over other living organisms with its parasite seeds.

Brainy had learned a new skill in its battles and had learned how to release parasite seed spores which allowed it to spread its seeds much further than before. Back then, Brainy could only spread its seeds to people it made contact with and the people that made contact with those with parasite seeds in them.

The spores spread on the wind and attached themselves to nearby beasts.

The beasts with lower cultivation realms were quickly taken over by the spores and Brainy sent them out to investigate the area.

After a few minutes, even the stronger beasts succumbed to Brainy's parasite seeds and soon fell under Brainy's control. In just a few minutes, Brainy had control over a hundred spirit beasts that went from the Iron to Silver Realm. As for the beasts in the Gold Realm, they would take some time and for beasts in the Platinum Realm, Brainy's parasite seeds had no effect on them.

As Brainy had the beasts scout the surrounding area, Brainy quickly found some people as well. These people were mostly alone since they were quite spread out and they were all focused on killing beasts right now.

When Lin Fan heard that there were people around him, he considered killing them for their points, but he quickly gave up that idea. The cultivations of these people weren't that high and the trial had just begun, so there was no point in killing them since they probably didn't have that many points yet.

In the end, Lin Fan chose a direction to head in and began heading off into the forest.

Along the way, Lin Fan also killed a few Gold Realm Beasts that Brainy had found with its spores.

Since Brainy had already infected them with its parasite seeds, even if it couldn't completely control them with the parasite seeds, Brainy could still stop their movements to a certain extent, making it easy for Lin Fan to cut them down.

Of course, Lin Fan didn't cut down every single Gold Realm Beast he met since he wanted to let Brainy control a few. If something did go wrong, they might become an important trump card.

One other feature that came attached in this Inheritance Realm was a ranking board that appeared in front of one's eyes whenever they thought about it.

One could choose to reveal their name and for obvious reasons, Lin Fan didn't choose to reveal his name.

Lin Fan looked over the board and found that he was in the top hundred from killing these Gold Realm Beasts.

The rules had stated that at least half of them would be eliminated, whether from a lack of points or from being killed. Since there were over ten thousand different people in this Inheritance Realm, being in the top hundred put Lin Fan in quite the good position.

Looking at the top of the rankings, Lin Fan found that the person on top already had over a million points while the person in second had less than a hundred thousand.

It was clear to him who was on top, there was only one person in this entire Inheritance Realm who could kill a King Beast…

He had told Angela countless times that they had to keep a low profile or it would be bad for his master if the experts of the upper realm found him here, but Angela continued to go on her rampage whenever her emotions took over.

The only solace that he had was that she had chosen to hide her name, which meant that no one knew it was her.

For Lin Fan, his most important goal in coming to this Inheritance Realm was to finish the mission from the system and find the Dragon Vein.

Lin Fan had asked Momonga about this Dragon Vein, but Momonga's explanation wasn't the best.

The gist of it was that a Dragon Vein was the crystallization of draconic energy that could be converted into powerful life energy if it was tapped into. Most Dragon Veins came from the remains of high grade bloodline dragons, whose bones contained most of their draconic energy.

As for whether there was a Dragon Vein in this Inheritance Realm or not, Momonga really doubted this since Dragon Veins only came from high grade dragons. They were things that even high grade cultivation realms like the World of Elements or the Lich's Necropolis considered rare, so it was very unlikely that a small world like the Blue Star Planet would have one.

But whether Lin Fan would be able to find it or not would all depend on how far he got in this Inheritance Realm.

Something as precious as the Dragon Vein must be a part of Xie Jun's inheritance, so if he wanted a chance to obtain it, he had to pass these trials first.

In the end, if he had to take the inheritance, he would just take it and give it to his friend if he didn't need it.

As for the karma to protect the Xie Family, he wouldn't need to worry about that since the Xie Family was currently doing well. Xie Jun must have left them a secret weapon to keep them safe, so unless they were truly threatened, Lin Fan wouldn't need to worry about them.

As Lin Fan continued forward, he suddenly stopped in his tracks as he heard someone call out.

"Help!"
