Here is the English translation, polished into the style of a natural, flowing, and idiomatic novel, while strictly maintaining the original paragraph structure: The 10-chapter burst is coming the day after tomorrow, brothers, vote for the monthly pass!!! …… Hearing that voice, Ye Chen's gaze flickered, and he asked calmly, "Who are you?" The melodious voice, like a heavenly sound, smiled, "You can call me the System Main God.
Welcome, strong practitioners from later civilizations.
Will you accept the Inheritance Ceremony?" Bailong quickly asked, "What Inheritance Ceremony?" The System Main God said, "According to regulations, all who enter the ruins, unless they are foreign races, are eligible to accept the inheritance.
By completing the designated tasks, you can gain control of this city!" Ye Chen glanced at the square teeming with a thousand people and frowned, "Are all these people...?" "Yes!" The System Main God nodded.
Bailong cheekily added, "Um, beautiful lady, your voice is so lovely, could you let us see what you look like?" Yue Heng nearly strangled him on the spot. "Certainly!" The System Main God hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
A white light condensed before Ye Chen and the others, taking the form of an ethereal figure—tall, exquisitely delicate, with a slender waist and a beautiful melon-seed face, radiating a sacred glow.
Ye Chen shot Bailong a look, then addressed the System Main God before him, "What is the inheritance mission?" The System Main God smiled slightly, "You will know once you enter.
Now you have two choices: either withdraw from the ruins or accept the inheritance.
Please reply within one minute!" Bailong immediately piped up, "Are there treasure rewards?" The System Main God nodded. "Of course!" She raised her hand and pointed.
Everyone looked to see a staircase at the far end of the square leading to a platform piled high with treasures, including various firearms and armor.
The System Main God tapped a finger, and a translucent frame materialized before Ye Chen and the others, floating with numerous items, each detailing its function. "Fire God Fruit: For Fire Element Qi Master consumption, can advance one tier!" "Qi Power Firearm: Inject Qi Power into it, using Qi Power as ammunition to fire—" "Ninth-Tier Ice Shield: Absorbs air water molecules, compresses them into ice energy, releasing them to form an omnidirectional defense shield around the user! Charging Time: 48 hours!" "Dragon Fragrance Herb..." Item after item of rare treasures dazzled the eyes of Ye Chen and the others, especially the descriptions of their effects, which made their eyes gleam.
Ye Chen immediately set his sights on the Fire God Fruit; with his devouring talent, he could absorb anything related to the elements.
Once he consumed this fruit, he could reach the third tier of the Qi Master rank! Reaching the Qi Master rank, every single tier increase added 1000 combat strength! It was easy to imagine how terrifying the effect of this Fire God Fruit was! However, the Fire God Fruit was not his ultimate goal.
He glanced at the System Main God and frowned slightly.
If his memory of previous life's intelligence was correct, the true supreme treasure in this ruin should be something else...
For some reason, the System Main God had not listed it. "Wow..." Bailong’s mouth fell open.
Even Yue Heng and Zhuge Fan next to him were utterly stunned.
Even the usually cold and silent Mo Feng showed a flicker of emotion.
Many of these treasures were enough to drive people mad with envy in the outside world. "Please choose: accept or withdraw?" The System Main God snapped her fingers, and the illusory framework vanished.
Bailong and the others looked to Ye Chen, awaiting his response.
Ye Chen pondered for a moment, then asked, "If the mission is not completed, what happens?" "Death!" the System Main God stated.
Bang! Suddenly, a young man sitting on a circular dais slumped over.
Immediately, blue flames erupted from the edge of the dais, engulfing the young man's corpse and burning it to ash.
Seeing this, Ye Chen and the others were moved.
Bailong broke out in a sweat. "He failed?" The System Main God nodded. "He was killed by someone during the mission." Ye Chen frowned.
He didn't recall much about this ruin, only that it was occupied by Russia in August of the Dark Era.
He calculated that even Russia's strongest after August would barely reach 200 level strength.
If people of that level could complete the mission, there was no reason he couldn't! Unless...
This mission had no bearing on one's inherent strength. "Enter, or withdraw?" Ye Chen’s mood suddenly grew heavy.
Just then, his hand was grasped by a gentle, small hand.
His sister Ye Zhu’s voice whispered softly in his ear, "Don't worry about me.
I don't want to be your burden." Ye Chen turned to look.
He saw the girl with a gentle smile in the corner of her eyes, showing no hint of fear.
Her raven-black hair draped around her cheeks, accentuating her alabaster skin.
Her lips were slightly pursed, bearing a touch of stubbornness.
A hint of bitterness touched Ye Chen's lips, then his gaze hardened.
Looking at the System Main God, he said, "Enter!" Through this System Main God, he knew this ruin was highly complete, absolutely unlike the Atlantis civilization, which had been invaded by ancient dark creatures, leading even the system goddess to be sealed.
Although Ye Chen’s strength had greatly increased, he lacked the confidence to force his way through this sixth-tier ruin.
If the system initiated a self-destruct sequence, he would have no choice but to flee.
The System Main God smiled faintly. "Next, please proceed to the totem platforms in the square and sit down.
They contain consciousness linkers that will transport you to the Trial Space.
I wish you a safe return..." Ye Chen ignored the blessing, which sounded like a funeral send-off.
He had some theories about this inheritance trial; if it was related to his personal growth, they could easily complete the mission with their current strength! If it was another mode, he was confident too.
As long as it wasn't as morally reprehensible as the missions in that Ancient Martial Civilization...
The thought of the Ancient Martial Civilization he had entered in his previous life sent a shudder through him.
Soon, the six of them arrived near the circular platforms and each selected one to sit upon.
Ye Chen glanced at his sister, knowing that this stubborn girl would never agree to withdraw alone, so he said no more.
He looked at Bailong and the others and said in a deep voice, "If anyone wants to withdraw now, there is still time." Bailong chuckled lightly, "Little Chen Chen, why be so sentimental? We are all old comrades, why talk about quitting? Doesn't that make us look weak?" Zhuge Fan nodded proudly, "Exactly!" Yue Heng declared heroically, "Whether we live or die, at least we fought side-by-side!" Ye Chen looked deeply at the group, waved his hand, and commanded, "Enter!" The single word carried an indomitable resolve! The six sat down one after another.
A current permeated their bodies, and their minds went blank with a resounding boom, as if eons had passed... "Newcomers have arrived." "Heh heh, these six unlucky kids." Two relaxed laughs echoed.
Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes.
His vision was blurred, and only after a moment did the scene before him clarify.
It was a spacious room with two fluorescent lights on the ceiling.
Sitting at an office desk were two men.
One was young, about twenty, dressed in a military uniform, with two pistols tucked at his waist, looking quite capable.
The other had slightly curly hair, a patchy beard, and a somewhat melancholy gaze, possessing an artistic air.
He also wore military attire, with a sniper rifle slung across his back.
Ye Chen's gaze swept the room and he saw his sister and Bailong lying unconscious in the corners.
Their Dragon Scale Suits had vanished, replaced only by coarse cloth garments, as simple as they could be.
Ye Chen looked down at himself—the same coarse clothes, no weapons in hand, and...
Ye Chen suddenly realized his strength was gone! He slowly stood up from the floor, clenched his fist, and the suspicion in his eyes gradually disappeared.
He was certain: his power was truly gone, and his Super Mode was inaccessible.
He was now an ordinary person, completely unenhanced! At that moment, Bailong and the others also awoke.
They looked around and noticed their own strange circumstances, their expressions filled with uncertainty.
Yue Heng exclaimed in shock, "What's going on? My strength is gone, and I can't activate Super Mode either!" "Me too!" Zhuge Fan’s face turned grim. "Heh heh..." The two Russian men couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of Ye Chen and the others' dismay.
Then they said something in Russian, which Ye Chen and the others did not understand.
Bailong suddenly stepped forward and asked the two Russians, "Where is this place, and how did we get here? Who are you?" He spoke fluent Russian.
Yue Heng and Zhuge Fan’s mouths dropped slightly open, clearly surprised that this glib fellow possessed such a skill.
Bailong enjoyed their gazes, looking quite smug.
He was a top student from Tsinghua University, majoring in humanities, and had always enjoyed foreign languages.
However, the reason for his enjoyment was something that made people want to punch him: his stated ambition was to woo beautiful girls from every country on earth...
Shameless! The two Russian men looked at him with surprise.
The younger man smiled and spoke a few sentences.
Bailong nodded, then turned to translate for Ye Chen and the others: "He said this is the Reincarnation World, and we are new trial participants.
If we don't understand anything, we can silently call the System Main God in our minds to get an explanation." "Reincarnation World?" Ye Chen frowned slightly, then followed the instructions, calling out twice in his mind.
Immediately, a somewhat stiff, synthesized electronic voice responded, "Hello, how may I assist you?" "Is the Reincarnation World the Trial Space?" Ye Chen asked internally. "Yes!" the system voice confirmed. "In this Reincarnation World, for every mission completed, you will receive a certain amount of points.
When your points reach 5000, you can apply to leave the Reincarnation World, and your consciousness will return to reality." Ye Chen nodded.
This point was similar to the virtual combat tower in the Atlantis civilization, but that was just for fighting; this was a trial, and if you died in this world, the body on the platform outside would genuinely die too! The system voice continued, "No matter how dominant you are outside, in the Reincarnation World, you will start from zero, surviving slowly with an ordinary person's body.
Once your accumulated points reach 100,000, you can obtain control of the Reincarnation World, and the system will automatically recognize you as master; the Inheritance Ceremony will then conclude!" Ye Chen understood.
The so-called inheritance mission was to acquire 100,000 points within this Reincarnation World.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask, "What is this mission?"
