On the walls of the ancient castle, faded tapestries tell of past glory. In this dim hall, a carved wooden bench stands alone next to the fireplace, and the firelight reflects the heavy traces of time on it.

On the stool, a man sat upright. He was wearing a black tuxedo. Although the clothes were classic, the cut revealed an unusual sharpness.

His face was pale, with a barely perceptible smile on his lips. His deep eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts. His slender fingers tapped lightly on the stool, making a low and rhythmic sound, which was his habitual action when he was in deep thought.

The man's ears suddenly moved slightly, catching the movements around him. Even in this secluded corner, he remained alert, and any slight changes could not escape his perception. His eyes suddenly froze, as if he sensed something. After turning his head and seeing Tang Nian, he quickly regained his composure.

The air was filled with the faint scent of red spider lilies, which formed a sharp contrast with the damp and moldy atmosphere in the castle. The man seemed to appreciate the scent very much. He took a deeper breath, as if savoring this elusive fragrance.

The woman led Tang Nian to the man's side, bowed, and then slowly said, "Sir."

Tang Nian's gaze immediately fell on the man. The fact that the woman in front of him was so respectful to him meant that this man was the one in charge here.

The man waved his hand and said casually, "Get lost."

The woman bowed again, then turned around and quickly walked out, disappearing from view.

The man's teasing eyes fell on Tang Nian at this time and said, "You are worthy of being the chosen one. Your martial spirit, Higanbana, is different from those outside."

Although Tang Nian was puzzled, she did not show her curiosity at all. She looked at the man calmly and said, "Who are you? What is your purpose in calling me here?"

The man waved his hand slowly and said slowly, "I didn't ask you to come here. God chose you. Whether you like it or not, you will accept God's will."

After a pause, the man's voice became a little strange, as if he was mumbling to himself, or as if he couldn't figure it out, and said, "I really can't understand why you were chosen."

Tang Nian frowned and looked at the man in front of him in confusion.

After a long while, the man seemed to calm down and slowly said, "I am Haier, and I am also the person responsible for helping you pass this divine test."

Tang Nian looked at Haier in confusion, she had no idea what the divine test meant.

Haier seemed to see Tang Nian's confusion. He stretched out his hand and waved it gently. Suddenly, nine soul rings appeared behind him, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, and red.

Tang Nian's eyes trembled slightly, and he looked several times before making sure that he was not mistaken. The man in front of him actually had nine soul rings. The first eight were black ten thousand year soul rings, and the last one was the rarest one hundred thousand year soul ring.

But Tang Nian's sight at this time was not on the last hundred thousand year soul ring, but on the first black ten thousand year soul ring.

As a spirit master, the age of the spirit rings that can be absorbed is limited. Although the first spirit ring of her first spirit, the Blue Silver Emperor, is 100,000 years old, it is the bloodline inheritance of the Blue Silver Emperor family.

But how many people are there like this? In the entire Douluo Continent, there are not many people who have fallen in love with a hundred thousand year soul beast and given birth to children, not to mention that the probability of having a bloodline like hers is extremely small.

But the man in front of him actually had a first soul ring that was a ten thousand year soul ring, and was not affected by the age of the soul ring at all. This showed that Haier was not an ordinary person.

Following Haier's movements, Tang Nian felt a very powerful pressure, which instantly made her unable to move. It was a very strange feeling, different from the feeling of thousands of troops rising up that erupted from Tang Hao.

Tang Nian felt a sense of suffocation, but he couldn't help but indulge in it and sacrifice his life under this pressure.

Seeing that Tang Nian's face was getting redder and redder and he was about to suffocate, he retracted his soul ring, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Tang Nian was still weird.

The moment she was released, Tang Nian felt as if she was reborn, and she gasped for breath.

Although he didn't know the strength of the man in front of him, but with nine spirit rings and being a Titled Douluo, the pressure he released was even stronger than that of Tang Hao.

It’s terrifying to think about how strong Haier’s real strength is.

Haier did not make things difficult for Tang Nian. He just said lightly, "Follow me," and turned to walk inside.

Tang Nian just felt as if she had walked through hell. She controlled her limp body, stood up, and followed Haier. The two of them walked towards the depths of the castle.

The further he walked in, the more eerie Tang Nian felt it was inside. It was clearly daytime outside just now, but once he entered the place, there was no light at all.

Only the candles on both sides of the corridor were occasionally swayed by the rushing air currents, and the light and shadows danced with the movement of the candles. Tang Nian followed Haier and gradually stepped into the depths of the basement.

The sound of dripping water echoed in the empty space, and the damp smell mixed with the musty smell hit him in the face. In every corner of the basement, and even with every step he took, Tang Nian felt an indescribable sense of depression, as if time had frozen here.

Tang Nian did not dare to be careless and remained very defensive throughout the whole process.

Finally, Haier stopped and said, "This is the inheritance pillar. Whether you can accept God's inheritance depends on you."

Tang Nian looked up, and saw eight towering black inheritance pillars standing in front of her like guardian gods. Each pillar was engraved with patterns that Tang Nian could not understand. Upon closer inspection, they seemed to be red spider lilies, but also seemed not to be.

Although this place is deep in the castle, it seems like another paradise. Although we are clearly in the castle, we cannot see the roof, and when we look up, all we see is the night and the stars.

At this moment, Haier began to walk slowly around the pillar. His steps were solemn and slow. He circled around the pillar in circles. No one knew what he was doing.

But with Haier's actions, blood-red red spider lilies suddenly appeared all around. They emerged little by little and bloomed brightly.

At this moment, the two middle pillars of the eight pillars, although still black, glowed red.

Haier said calmly, "Release your martial soul and input your soul power into the holy pillar."

Tang Nian frowned but did not refute Haier's words. She stretched out her hand, and was surprised to find that her soul power and martial soul had been fully restored.
