Above the altar, the middle-aged woman's expression became more and more complicated as she saw Lin Yan climb the steps.
She was a weapon spirit with no parents or sisters, no friends or relatives.
She was an artifact spirit of the Star God Sect who was born without emotions.
But after millions of years of lifetime, she gradually got a hint of human emotions.
"What will he get …by doing this?"
When she looked at the boy who had already finished climbing to the center of the altar, but behind him, the path was marked red with his blood.
Yet, he carried the young girl in his arms.
…
Though his body had long been wavering, Lin Yan still held Xiao Yanran.
After taking each step, he would stop to rest for a long time.
The blood continued to flow out from under his feet, even in such a state, he still took the trail.
At a glance, he appeared to be on the verge of dying.
Especially since he was holding a Xiao Yanran in his arms at the moment, it was clearly visible that Lin Yan's arms and eyes were already trembling right now.
And the trembling was getting more and more severe.
Yet, no matter what, he never let go of his hands and held Xiao Yanran firmly in his arms.
One step!
Two steps!
.

As he climbed up, he had to undergo great pressure every time.
Seeing his condition, everyone felt that Lin Yan might fall at any moment.
But his expression was calm and his eyes were still like water and looked collected.
Time passed little by little, and Lin Yan's speed, although it was slow, he never stopped.
And finally, he managed to appear above the altar.
When he stepped onto the last step, Lin Yan's calm face showed a hint of a relaxed expression.
However, he immediately fell to the ground with a thud.
"Now... now can ...you, quickly ....cure my sister ."
Lin Yan, who was on the ground, spoke with a heavy breath.
But the middle-aged woman standing before him didn't move in the slightest.
Instead, she waited for Lin Yan to catch his breath, and then spoke, "To receive the Star God's power, you still need to pass the last level."
"The last level?"
Hearing this, Lin Yan's eyes revealed a bit of reluctance.
He no longer had the strength to go on any further.
The middle-aged woman seemed to look into Lin Yan's thoughts and shook her head.
She then pointed to Xiao Yanran at the side and said, "For the last level, there is no need for you to continue climbing the altar anymore, but it is to select the inheritor between you and her."
"What?"
Lin Yan stared at the middle-aged woman, and a low voice came out of his mouth, "You mean, between my sister and I, only one can receive the Star God's power?"
The middle-aged woman nodded: "Yes, the remaining resources of the Star God Sect are only enough to nurture one disciple. Even though both of you have ascended to the altar, only one of you can become a Star God Sect successor."
"F*ck you!"
Lin Yan's eyes burst out with anger, and also cursed for the first time.
"Why didn't you say this earlier."
The middle-aged woman looked calm and said, "Letting the inheritors compete with each other is also one of the rules, and I can't break the rules."
"...Only one can become the successor."
Lin Yan suppressed the anger inside his heart, and while lying on the ground with all his strength exhausted, he looked up at the sky.
And
Just a breath of time or less, Lin Yan had regained his usual calmness, and said, "Save my sister and let her become the successor of the Star God Sect."patreon.com/noicetranslations
…
Outside the Linglong Treasure Mirror.
Those people who were planning to see Lin Yan make himself a fool, at this moment, turned silent.
Even after Lin Yan ascended the altar, they still thought that the artifact spirit would find out Xiao Yanran was more talented and also had the supreme bone, so she decisively abandoned Lin Yan.
In this way, they would enjoy seeing such a scene happen where the future Heavenly Emperor was annoyed.
But never did they expect that even in such a life-and-death situation, he actually gave up the opportunity without hesitation.
Even if the great saints and the immortals had been given this kind of opportunity, they would readily choose to become the successor of the Ancient sect, instead of giving it to others.
"Yanran, if it were you, you would have definitely done the same." Lin Feng said with a determined face.
When Lin Yan said these words, however, Xiao Yanran actually didn't want to look up to the Linglong Treasure Mirror before her.
After all, she knew clearly in her heart that it was the moment when her Supreme Bone would awaken and change everything.
"When my supreme Bone awakened at that time, I thought that I can make him a little happy so he won't have to worry about me all the time. " Xiao Yanran silently said in her heart.
