Chapter 10: Chapter 10: Completing the Assessment, Finally Meeting the God of Death!
Now, it had been six months since Liu Yuan left the Spirit City and headed towards the location of the Death God's inheritance.
Since that day, Liu Yuan had been tirelessly rushing towards the location of the Death God's inheritance.
But the distance to his destination was simply too far.
Although he could see the black pillar of light from a distance every time, what troubled Liu Yuan was that no matter how fast he traveled, the distance between him and the black pillar of light seemed to remain unchanged, as if it never got any closer.
At first, this greatly disappointed Liu Yuan. After all, he had been making such an effort to travel all this time, but the location of the Death God's inheritance remained so far away. It made him start to doubt whether he would ever reach the location and receive the inheritance of the God of Death in his lifetime.
But he eventually figured it out.
This must be a test from the Death God himself.
If not, with the abilities of the Death God, he could easily use the teleportation ability that had transported him from the underground to another place and directly send him to the location of the Death God's inheritance.
The reason he didn't do that was simply to test his patience and perseverance.
Just think about it, would the inheritance of a god be so easily obtained?
If he couldn't even pass this small test, then he would certainly not make a difference and would be unable to seek revenge on Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and the others!
With this in mind, Liu Yuan once again sank into a state of focus, inching closer to his target location.
...
After that, Liu Yuan's progress in the following days still showed no signs of success.
Because his mindset had become extremely firm, even if he didn't see any feedback, he stubbornly pushed forward.
As a result, he encountered many different sights along the way.
First of all, there was the warmth of the Martial Soul Hall.
In fact, Liu Yuan had already sensed this warmth from Bibi Dong before.
But after that, he sensed it several more times.
During the journey, there were many times when Liu Yuan couldn't bear it anymore because he had run out of money and had to travel hungry. At such times, it was not the so-called aristocrats of the Heavenly Dou Empire or other organizations who reached out to help him. The ones extending a helping hand to him were only the Martial Soul Hall.
Some people might think that the Martial Soul Hall was just putting on a show, trying to win over the people with such small gestures. But let's not even talk about how baseless this speculation is.
Even if this speculation were true, what then?
Even if it was a show, at least Bibi Dong and the Martial Soul Hall were willing to do it!
But what about Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and the various institutions of the Heavenly Dou Empire?
They callously sacrificed lives and bullied the weak.
Throughout the journey, Liu Yuan never received any favors from any institution of the Heavenly Dou Empire, but instead witnessed many instances where the nobles oppressed the people and forcefully took advantage of women.
This made Liu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
"It seems that Bibi Dong's approach wasn't wrong."
"Although it may seem radical, if these nobles continue to rule over the Douluo Continent, the common people will never have a chance to rise!"
He continued to move forward.
One day, he happened to encounter students from the Canghui Academy.
And coincidentally, it was the same group of people who clashed with Tang San and the others in the original work.
Influenced by the preconceptions from the original work, Liu Yuan instinctively didn't have a favorable impression of this group of people when he encountered them.
After all, he didn't want any trouble, so he planned to simply avoid them.
But he didn't expect the true nature of this group of people to be completely different from what he had initially anticipated.
First, they caught a thief to protect the people, and then they provided some assistance to the local impoverished residents.
Later, Liu Yuan asked the local residents and learned that the students and teachers of the Canghui Academy would go on expeditions every year. These expeditions took place in relatively poor areas within the Heavenly Dou Empire. These areas were essentially abandoned by the imperial family, who paid no attention to them. Only the local branch of the Martial Soul Hall would occasionally send them some supplies, but it was merely a drop in the bucket.
At such times, caring institutions or organizations like the Canghui Academy would take the initiative to lend a hand. They would send them some goods or the students' old clothes that they could no longer wear. These things were of no use to them but were like a lifeline to the impoverished people.
Upon learning this news, Liu Yuan felt deeply moved.
"Many times, unless we personally experience it, we will never know the true situation..."
"Before traveling through time, although Liu Yuan also liked Bibi Dong because she was beautiful, I have to say that the wars that followed were all provoked by her and the Martial Soul Hall. So, there's no doubt about that."
"But now, after traveling through the Heavenly Dou Empire, Liu Yuan understands that it's more accurate to say that Bibi Dong was leading a rebellion rather than provoking a war..."
"The entire Heavenly Dou Empire has become incredibly corrupt under the control of the imperial family. The common people are suffering. Bibi Dong's decision to send troops at such a time may be an attempt to create a better Martial Soul Empire..."
He continued on his journey.
After two more years of traveling, Liu Yuan finally arrived at the place where the inheritance of the Death God was located.
At that moment, Liu Yuan was filled with immense excitement.
Because on the previous night, while Liu Yuan was traveling, he realized that it was getting late, so he found a spot by the roadside to sleep, intending to resume his journey the next day.
But who could have expected that when he woke up the next morning, the surroundings had changed, and his location had changed as well. He had actually arrived directly within the black pillar of light!
Currently, Liu Yuan was still looking around in astonishment.
However, the figure of the Death God suddenly appeared before him.
The Death God was still wearing a black robe, carrying a large scythe on their back.
But upon seeing Liu Yuan, a strong smile emerged on the Death God's face that was difficult to suppress.
"Congratulations, young one. You have passed my assessment, and now you can receive the inheritance," said the Death God, looking at Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan was also somewhat excited and thought for a moment before asking the Death God, "So... everything before this was your assessment of me? What would have happened if, during that process, I couldn't hold on and chose to give up or rest?"
The Death God smiled and replied, "Giving up is equivalent to forfeiting. You cannot obtain the recognition of the Death God. As for resting... Resting once extends the assessment period by one year. The more you rest, the more it accumulates. If you don't completely consume the assessment time, you will never be able to come here."
Upon hearing these words, Liu Yuan couldn't help but be dumbfounded. He felt incredibly fortunate. Fortunately, throughout this journey, he had never rested, let alone given up. Now, he had reaped the rewards of his perseverance. Revenge was within reach!
