"I'm confident that we can succeed if we use that thing as bait, but is it necessary? If I could choose, I'd prefer to not do that." Feng Qing'er muttered.

"That's true. Regardless, that thing is an important asset. Having it with us will guarantee us far more safety than if we have to place it elsewhere for bait." Qing Tan agreed.

That item wasn't something they could handle so casually. Since it was readily available when they were first thinking of the plan, it was naturally what they first thought of using as bait. But with time, they realized they had been rash.

To use that thing as bait, they needed to place it in a position where they couldn't easily access it. They had to make it look as if it was a natural treasure instead of something they arranged. If they did it like that, then it would be difficult for them to use it if the situation became dire like it did back in Acier.

"Do you have something else in mind?" Qing Tan asked. With the way Feng Qing'er brought it up; it seemed like she had an idea.

"Right. While I was waiting for you to return, I suddenly remembered something my mother told me before I entered this realm." Feng Qing'er responded.

"Not only her, but even the Elf Queen had told us that there would be treasures and opportunities within the Primordial Undying Realm besides the tree itself. In fact, my mother was one of the participants in the previous opening 10,000 years ago.

"She wouldn't tell me much about the realm no matter how much I pestered her, but I at least got a bit of information out of her. That is, within this realm, there are other inheritances besides that of the Primordial Undying Tree."

"Other inheritances?" Qing Tan's interest was piqued. Originally, she had thought that the promise of other benefits was a ruse to attract more people to the realm. Hearing that it was true made her curious.

"That's right. Although I don't know the level of those inheritances, I know that my mother found one back then and it greatly helped her in improving her strength.

"Right now, we still have a little less than half a year within this realm. The timeframe of an entire year seems to be far too long when you consider how things have been until this point, but if you put those inheritances into consideration, it makes more sense.

"We have plenty of time left, so we should split up and put our focus into finding an inheritance site. Not only will we be able to gain benefits if we can get our hands on the treasures within, we can also create a natural opportunity to get rid of our enemies. Plus, we won't have to do all the work ourselves. We can borrow a knife to kill them."

Qing Tan fell into thought. "Using an inheritance site this way is truly much better than our original plan. Plus, if they die within the inheritance we'll be able to preserve our strength for the coming trials instead of risking so much. It's a much better idea than our first one."

"Let's give ourselves 2 months. Obviously these inheritances are well hidden or else we'd have stumbled upon one already with how much we've been traveling around the realm, but there's still plenty left unexplored. 2 months gives us plenty of time to explore, but also leaves us 3 months in case the inheritance site is more difficult than expected.

"As a matter of fact, those few geniuses that remained missing until now might've already received their own opportunities.

"If we can't find an inheritance site within 2 months, we'll build our own fake inheritance and use that thing to draw people. If we can find one, then we can spread the information and end our time within the Trial World with a bang!"

Qing Tan pumped her fist in the air excitedly as she finished her words. The only benefit she'd gotten with all the dangerous stuff they'd been through so far was the advancement of her star. She wasn't like Damien with his devour ability.

But since she'd already reached the White Star level, this didn't matter much to her anymore.

Now that the prospect of treasure had been reintroduced into the conversation, it was like killing two birds with one stone. It was only natural for her to get excited.

The two girls talked over a few more points before exiting the natural hot spring and getting dressed.

"Good, then let's meet back up in Darknorth in 2 months. At that time, we can decide how we want to move forward."

"Alright. I'll see you then."

With one final nod, the two girls took off in opposite directions, each with their own thoughts and plans in mind.

***

Within the infinite void, Damien calmly sat in his Mind Prison and observed the fruits of his labor.

"Finally, I've made substantial progress."

After his first attempt at merging ten floating islands at once, Damien had used the same method until he fused 100 of them into his fused spiritual land. After that, he had increased the number he merged to 50 at once.

Learning from his past experience, he no longer dared to challenge the upper limit, lest he end up killing himself by exerting more than he was capable of.

"Still, now that I've gotten to this point, another problem has arisen."

Looking into the distance, Damien's eyes landed on a flickering greenish-white light. Underneath that light's glow, there was actually a second fused spiritual land!

"That thing must be what helped me retain my life after I encountered the Demon God. But why does it seem like it's opposing me instead of cooperating?"

Damien's fused spiritual land had long surpassed the size of a city and was similar to the size of a country already.

With the second fused spiritual land having a similar size, there weren't many floating islands left within the infinite void.

In fact, Damien could clearly feel that the repairs made under that greenish-white light would also contribute to the regaining of his mental power, only, to a lesser degree than when he did it himself.

The problem stemmed from the fact that there seemed to be an invisible game of tug of war between him and the light, as if he had to battle it for control over his mindspace.

But at the same time, he could feel that the light held no hostility towards him. Instead, it emanated a kind of encouraging feeling.

"Sigh, things keep getting more and more complicated. Next thing I know, I won't be able to leave my mindspace even after I fully merge all the floating islands into a complete fused spiritual land."

The tug of war was fine if it was just for floating islands. It didn't have much lasting effect. But if it happened between two fused spiritual lands…

Damien didn't want to imagine the kind of damage his mind would suffer during the process.

"All in due time."

But he didn't find himself troubled by this. He had been concentrating on the task in front of him for what seemed like years on end, and his mind had gained a certain tranquility that it didn't possess before.

Even facing such a situation, he didn't desire to act rashly and he didn't try to come up with any crazy solutions to immediately solve the problem. Instead, he simply sat back down and closed his eyes, extending his control to the remaining floating continents and continuing his task.
