’Good thing I have the Peeping into Secrets Talent.’

’Otherwise, I would have really missed this hidden inheritance.’

’But who could have thought that the way to open it was to destroy the Teleportation Gate?’

’Does it mean I’m supposed to maintain a combat mindset even when facing a completely harmless Teleportation Gate?’

’War God... you’re pretty unhinged.’

’But could this hidden inheritance be dangerous?’

Peeping into Secrets could see what was hidden and how to open it, but it didn’t reveal whether the hidden thing was dangerous.

This made the normally cautious Lu Cang hesitate.

’Maybe I should just focus on steady growth and forget about this inheritance?’

No... Based on the War God’s design, you couldn’t die in the Battle Arena, and you couldn’t die in the War God Tower.

Besides, the hidden thing was an inheritance, not a death trap.

"No... It’s best to be cautious."

After all, it was called a challenge, and challenges weren’t necessarily safe.

Lu Cang didn’t make a decision right away.

Instead, he sat down right in front of the Teleportation Gate.

He took out *Introduction to the Gods* and *On the War God* from his storage Space and began to read.

After quietly finishing the two books, he had a general idea that the War God had bestowed grand battle Miracles upon the world.

It also seemed to have left behind many inheritance Trials throughout the world.

But as for its personality or any detailed information about its inheritances, there were no records.

...

About an hour later, Lu Cang was still in the same spot.

He was thinking about the battle he had just fought.

He tried to recall the monster’s characteristics, wondering if they could offer any inspiration.

’Oh.’

’Flesh...’

’The Flesh Reshaping Magic.’

’It probably isn’t just for reshaping one’s appearance; it should also be able to heal some injuries...’

However, using Magic to heal injuries touched upon the domain of life itself.

The boundary of life was extremely strict. To this day, not a single Magic had any healing properties.

Only Healing Mages possessed the means to heal.

Other than that, there were potions.

As for why there was no healing Magic... Lu Cang had pondered this question before. As a Transmigrator, he felt that healing should naturally fall under the category of Magic.

The people of this world, on the other hand, were preconceived to think that Magic and healing were completely separate. How could Magic possibly heal?

He eventually asked Iz, who was very surprised that Lu Cang would even have such a thought. At the same time, Iz gave him a special answer.

It concerned the Authority over life.

Unless permitted, it could not be trespassed.

The answer wasn’t very clear, but he roughly understood that it likely had something to do with the so-called gods.

That was beyond his control.

...

Having finished reviewing the battle in his mind, Lu Cang gazed at the gate before him, deep in thought.

"I should have used Divination earlier."

’If I leave right now...’

’...will this hidden entrance still be here when I come back?’

"Even if I don’t get this inheritance, my growth is still predictable..."

’Will my life be a failure just because I missed out on one inheritance?’

’There are so many inheritances in the world that I can’t obtain. Doesn’t that make me a total failure?’

Finally, Lu Cang stood up and shook his head.

"Gains and losses are a matter of fate; let the heart remain unmoved."

"I’ll follow my heart..."

He walked directly into the Teleportation Gate, choosing not to destroy it.

Passing through the Teleportation Gate led to a pure white Space.

The rewards for clearing the Trials swirled around Lu Cang.

A Magic Book, a Magic Expansion Crystal, Cloud Spirit Wood, Muddy Entwining Silk...

The rewards from the first 60 floors might have been great for an ordinary person, but to Lu Cang, they were truly mediocre.

Starting from the 70th floor, the rewards became a bit more special.

The 70th floor reward was *The Beginning of Spirituality*—a book.

The 80th floor reward was Spirit Radiance Water, something that could actually enhance one’s Spirituality.

The 90th floor was a Spring of Origin (Tier Three), a spring that could provide inspiration. This time, it was Tier Three... ’Looks like I can use this one.’

’It’s true that Root Magic needs to be comprehended at every level.’

The reward for the 100th floor was called *Battle Secret History*—another book.

’Another book...’

’Why does this War God like giving out books so much?’

’Is it because I’m a Mage?’

Chi Cheng had said that when he cleared it, his rewards were powerful Combat Skills, precious materials for crafting Weapons, or potions that let one comprehend Extreme Battle Intent.

And yet, the rewards he got included two books.

However, Lu Cang saw that there was a Secret hidden within the book *Battle Secret History*.

Lu Cang stored all the rewards in his Space.

Before Lu Cang stood a stone stele, on which many names were carved.

Imina, You Ye, Beatrice, Shanna, Hao Juehao, Bunazes, Di Luo, Xiao Youya, Izparut, Chi Cheng, Lu Luwei.

’There are actually quite a few people who have cleared 100 floors.’

Lu Cang had thought that not many people would be able to clear up to the 100th floor.

’It seems I just haven’t met those truly powerful individuals.’

’No... I suppose I have met some. Iz and the others are among them.’

Lu Cang felt that he could leave his name on the stele before him, but he could also choose not to.

"Shanna."

"This name..."

Lu Cang remembered this name.

"Stored in the Cold Moon—Shanna."

"Could it be the same person?"

"It would be too much of a coincidence for two people with the exact same name to be involved in something like this."

’Iz and the others also left their names on this stele, so there’s probably no trap...’

Lu Cang touched the stele and left his name on it.

He glanced back.

’I hope it’s still there when I come back...’

’Otherwise, I’ll just have to accept that it wasn’t meant to be.’

It would be impossible to say he didn’t feel a shred of regret at giving up a hidden inheritance.

But recklessly approaching an unknown Secret related to a god...

...went against Lu Cang’s principles.
