Ji Xue knew more about Canglan Star than Baiyu had anticipated. He said in a deep voice, "To leave Canglan Star, the problem of spiritual essence must be solved. But to solve this issue, the gods on Canglan Star should take action."

Baiyu replied in a deep voice, "How much do you know about the gods?"

Ji Xue shook his head, "Not much, naturally not as much as you natives of Canglan Star know. However, there has always been an ancient legend within the Empire that there is a secret to becoming a god on Canglan Star."

Baiyu furrowed his brows.

Ji Xue continued, "Over the years, the Empire has been studying the spiritual essence outside of Canglan Star, trying to break through it and liberate this planet.

After all, it was once the human home planet, and surely many secrets are hidden on it."

"All these years, Canglan Star has been battling with demons in the Spirit Realm, and the overall situation isn't great. Of course, many people do not know that there is a Human Imperial outside."

Baiyu and Ji Xue exchanged information calmly.

The other party used various information from the Empire to trade insights from Canglan Star.

This discussion lasted till the afternoon.

In the evening, Ji Xue extended an invitation to dinner and invited him, "Would you like to come to the Ji Family? In the Tornado Star Realm, our Ji Family is the most powerful."

"No, thank you."

Baiyu politely declined her offer.

"Alright, if you change your mind in the future, feel free to come to Giant Beast Star in the Tornado Star Realm to find me. This is my Communication Crystal.

Because of the distance, it cannot send too much information.

However.

As long as you crush it, I will know your location, and this crystal has my family's emblem, which is very useful in the Tornado Star Realm.

I always welcome you."

After saying this.

Ji Xue then placed the crystal in Baiyu's hand.

Baiyu accepted the crystal without hesitation.

After dinner, Baiyu returned to his room. Since Ji Xue knew about Baiyu's special identity, she naturally didn't treat him to an ordinary soldier's accommodation but directly offered him a comfortable luxurious single room.

However.

After returning to the room, Baiyu carefully checked and ensured there was no surveillance, then took out the Seven Coiled Stone Token from his embrace.

"Come out, what exactly are you plotting?"

He stared intently at the Seven Coiled Stone Token.

But the stone token showed no reaction.

Helplessly.

Baiyu could only punch the Seven Coiled Stone Token, using Black Moon Divine Power and Golden Power, instantly shattering the stone token into pieces.

"Young man, do you not fear bad karma for dealing with an elder like this one day?"

From the shattered token.

A snake-like virtual shadow emerged.

It stared at Baiyu, smiling, completely unfazed.

"Are you the remnants of Seven Coils?"

Baiyu stared at it.

This challenge was evidently arranged by Seven Coils deliberately to transmit the news from Canglan Star outside.

As for its actual intentions, Baiyu didn't know, but he could vaguely guess some.

"Don't be in a hurry, why are you panicking? Seven Coils died long ago; even if he was a divine spirit, death prevents revival. Moreover, he wasn't a true god, just an exceptionally strong cultivator who comprehended rule power.

I am I, and Seven Coils is Seven Coils.

Don't confuse us; I am not the same as that corpse."

The snake-like shadow proudly stated.

Baiyu coldly stared at it, "So you can only use Seven Coils' Divine Power to send us out.

Speak.

What plan do you have?"

The snake smiled and said, "Seven Coils was once the leader of the Multi-headed Race, known as the God of Wanse. However, the Multi-headed Race was exterminated by the Extreme Star Realm's Dragon Son, and Seven Coils, for some reason, escaped into the Ancient Blue Star.

Afterwards.

The spiritual essence of the Ancient Blue Star erupted.

Completely isolating from the entire universe.

Seven Coils was eventually killed by those native gods of Ancient Blue Star, and we split from his powerful spirit.

Everyone carries a part of His ability.

I am 'Sloth'.

It said in a deep voice, "After Seven Coils' death, his spirit divided into us seven, the Seven Deadly Sins in human terms.

Our mission is to choose an inheritor.

To inherit everything in the Seven Coiling Treasure Vault."

Upon hearing the snake's words.

Baiyu held a skeptical attitude, "Then what does this challenge mean?"

"It is to test your strength and qualify you as an inheritor. When the Spiritual Qi Revival of Ancient Blue Star reaches the third stage, the lock of spiritual essence will break, and Ancient Blue Star will reappear in the universe.

And the Empire.

Will undoubtedly reclaim Ancient Blue Star."

The slothful snake stated, "You still don't understand; the human empire is vast and boundless with countless strong warriors. If the inheritor lacks strength, even obtaining the Seven Coiling Treasure Vault won't allow survival.

After all, as strong as Seven Coils.

Would fall utterly."

Baiyu asked, "So the seven selected by Seven Coils are all inheritors?"

"Yes, but many may lose their inheritor qualification. The Seven Coiling Treasure Vault is in the Extreme Star Realm, while Ancient Blue Star is in the Central Star Realm, with a colossal distance between. The weak may struggle even to reach the Extreme Star Realm.

According to my estimation.

About a year's time remains before the spiritual essence of Ancient Blue Star dissipates. When that time comes, the human empire will inevitably contact this planet, and merging into the empire is certain.

Take the opportunity now.

First, accumulate strength, even build ties with some powerful families in the Empire, which benefits you.

I think Ji Family is already quite good.

Although a small family tens of thousands of years ago, surviving until now and becoming a noble house in the Tornado Star Realm shows real capabilities."

The slothful snake continued its analysis.

However.

At this time, Baiyu interrupted it, "Wait, are you saying everything you're doing, including issuing the challenge task, is helping me?"

"Of course, I see potential in you. If I don't choose you as the inheritor, I don't know how long I'll wait. I'm running out of time to wait.

Waiting for Ancient Blue Star's spiritual essence to dissipate may bring unknown changes.

No choice.

I can only be slightly wronged, choosing you as the inheritor, otherwise, I'd be left behind by the other six."

Baiyu asked, "Then what do you need?"

"Me? Simple, once you successfully inherit the Seven Coiling Treasure Vault, my mission will be complete, and of course, what I truly want is to devour the other six Divine Thoughts."

The slothful snake said in a deep voice.

The other six Divine Thoughts.

Naturally refers to the other six snake-like shadows split from Seven Coils' Divine Thought after his death, showing that the seven brothers' relationship isn't harmonious.

"Wouldn't the inheritors chosen by your brothers come to oppose me?"

Baiyu suddenly considered this.

The sloth wants to devour the other six, so the other six surely want to devour him as well.

The inheritors chosen by them are clearly the most powerful allies.

"You are essentially competitors; the Seven Coiling Treasure Vault is one, but there are seven inheritors. Do you think anyone is willing to share the treasures inside with you?"
