Chapter 1101: Replacement

Ninety million kilometers was a breeze for Xu Fan; he covered the distance effortlessly.

Upon reaching the end, the once vibrant wide road had turned into a lifeless zone, with no living being surviving the catastrophe.

As Xu Fan headed to the next level, he didn’t look back but simply waved his hand.

The death worms floating above the wide road self-destructed, creating dazzling fireworks of Soul Flame.

The little light snake stared at the Soul Flame in the sky, a flicker of fear in its eyes.

"I checked this place before entering; it’s definitely not the Reincarnation of a Great Being. A fallen Great Immortal Emperor or Saint trying to re-cultivate is out of the question.”

"Everything is going as planned," the little light snake reassured itself.

Just then, Xu Fan suddenly turned around.

The little light snake’s eyes met Xu Fan’s deep, piercing gaze, which seemed to see through everything and reach the soul.

The little light snake shivered involuntarily.

"Does your spirit body feel cold?" Xu Fan asked with a knowing smile.

"Haha, I was startled by your power! I didn’t expect you to take down Nascent Soul beasts with just the Foundation Establishment Stage," the little light snake said, amazed.

"Just some minor tricks; nothing worth mentioning," Xu Fan said casually, waving his hand as he moved to the next level.

In the following period, Xu Fan breezed through the first 12,000 stages, with no challenge able to halt his progress.

As he advanced, Xu Fan’s confusion grew deeper.

"Congratulations on clearing the first 12,000 stages! Entering the next stage will make you a registered disciple of Supreme Light God, with a chance to inherit everything here," the little light snake said excitedly.

"Can I leave now?" Xu Fan asked abruptly.

He had started to ponder Supreme Light God’s motives for setting up this inheritance.

"You can leave, but once you do, you can’t return. It’s best to exchange all your points for treasures before leaving," the little light snake advised.

"What if I go to the next level? Will I still have a chance to leave?" Xu Fan asked after a moment of thought.

"Of course! After you clear 24,000 stages, you’ll have one chance to leave."

"But I doubt any cultivator in the Immortal Realm would pass up the chance to become a disciple of the Great Being. I’m sure you’ll make the right choice."

The little light snake went on to describe the perks of becoming Supreme Light God’s disciple.

"Two Primal Spiritual Treasures, all of Supreme Light God’s inheritance techniques and methods, along with insights into the wide road. Complete tasks for Supreme Light God, and you might even receive his innate supreme treasure, the Wheel of Time." Xu Fan mused, stroking his chin.

"Master, those two Primal Spiritual Treasures and the innate supreme treasure can be traced."

"Proceed with caution as you explore further," Grape’s voice echoed in Xu Fan’s mind.

Finally, Grape analyzed Supreme Light God’s intentions behind the inheritance, listing hundreds of possible futures.

Xu Fan glanced at the most likely scenario.

"Become a disciple and bear the causal power, obscuring the fate of the Three Thousand Realms, transferring all the causal power from me to him."

"Taking on the causal power for Supreme Light God is inevitable, so until I’m certain, I must avoid becoming his formal disciple," Xu Fan reflected.

With his current strength, even after becoming a Golden Immortal, matters involving the Great Being must be approached with extreme caution, always prioritizing stability.

So, Xu Fan decided to leave this place of chaos after passing the 24,000 stages.

"Have you thought this through?"

"Are you continuing or leaving now?" the little light snake asked beside him.

"Of course, I will continue. I was just daydreaming about the carefree days as a disciple of Supreme Light God and got a bit carried away," Xu Fan replied with a sincere smile at the little light snake.

"Once I become a disciple of Supreme Light God and inherit this entire place of inheritance, we will be partners."

"Please take care of me~"

After Xu Fan said this, he stepped into the next challenge.

At the 12,001st stage, the guardian was a person who looked exactly like Xu Fan.

"From this stage until the 24,000th stage, all your opponents will be yourself, or rather, the you from during the challenges," the little light snake explained.

"Interesting, challenging my own limits step by step."

At this moment, both the real Xu Fan and the guardian Xu Fan had the strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Xu Fan looked at the version of himself that had reached the peak of his power before the challenge, first smiling, then a large hand appeared from below that Xu Fan.

The Blood Mist exploded, and he passed the 12,001st stage.

At that moment, Xu Fan felt a strange energy merging into his body.

"These remaining challenges are indeed not simple; they want to slowly replace me through this method."

"By the time I become a disciple of Supreme Light God, I would become his stand-in puppet."

"This plan is quite clever; if I weren’t an expert in death, life, and the Path of Fate, I might really fall for it."

Thinking of this, Xu Fan pretended to know nothing and continued tackling the remaining challenges.

Afterward, under the increasingly shocked gaze of the little light snake, Xu Fan smoothly passed each challenge as if he were walking on flat ground.

One after another, Xu Fan’s avatars couldn’t withstand a single strike from the real Xu Fan.

However, when this avatar tried to test whether Xu Fan was skilled in the Path of Life and Fate, Xu Fan intentionally held back.

The little light snake, who had been in a state of shock, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As the challenges progressed deeper, the little light snake became more at ease.

Until they reached close to the 24,000th stage, Xu Fan had been replaced by 80%.

Theoretically, Xu Fan’s body and spirit no longer belonged to him, but rather were under the control of this place of inheritance.

The little light snake looked at Xu Fan’s increasingly numb expression, growing happier.

"I finally found the right candidate for the task entrusted to me by Supreme Light God. As long as I can complete the task, I can return to Supreme Light God’s embrace," the little light snake said with misty eyes.

Once, he had been Supreme Light God’s favorite, but unfortunately, he encountered that little Bi Chi in the outer realms; otherwise, he wouldn’t have become a discarded pawn waiting here to scheme.

23997, 23998, 23999, 24000 stages.

After Xu Fan passed the 24,000th stage, except for the trace of essence in his spirit, he had been completely replaced.

"Alright, once you pass the upcoming challenges, you will become a formal disciple of Supreme Light God," the little light snake said lightly, no longer speaking with the initial politeness.

"I want to exchange for treasures first," Xu Fan said dully.

"Okay~" The little light snake thought Xu Fan was still holding onto that last trace of essence.

What’s the harm in indulging him? It wouldn’t matter since he would eventually become Supreme Light God’s stand-in puppet anyway.

A light curtain appeared, and Xu Fan exchanged all his points for Time Treasures, completely depleting the inventory of the place of inheritance.

With the remaining points, Xu Fan exchanged for a Postnatal Spiritual Treasure.

"Alright, now that you’ve exchanged your points, you can tackle the challenges ahead," the little light snake said.

At that moment, Xu Fan’s previously dull gaze regained clarity, and he looked at the little light snake with a slight smile: "Please send me out~"
