"So, have you grasped the content hidden within this place?"
The entity inside Jie Tianran asked.
"Bloodline. At the very least, the information this room reveals boils down to just two words: bloodline," Jie Tianran replied.
"Do you want to confirm it again?"
"After all, you only get one chance."
The entity inside Jie Tianran said.
"No need. I trust my own observation."
Jie Tianran rose to his feet, picked up a brush, and inscribed the two words for "bloodline" onto the stone tablet.
Immediately, the stone tablet responded.
"So it truly is the word 'bloodline.'"
"Could it be that this is the power contained within the Divine Era—the enhancement of bloodlines?"
"Or perhaps what lies hidden here is the most powerful bloodline in all the world—the Bloodline of the Gods?"
The entity inside Jie Tianran spoke.
And the moment those words left its mouth, Jie Tianran's expression became quite something to behold.
"Senior, is the most powerful bloodline in the world called the Bloodline of the Gods?"
The entity inside Jie Tianran replied.
"No, that is merely my own speculation. After all, this place is called the Divine Era, and since its power is related to bloodlines—if it truly does contain a bloodline, then it must be the most powerful one in existence. Calling it the Bloodline of the Gods would only be natural, wouldn't you agree?"
The entity inside Jie Tianran said.
"That's true. It is possible."
Although it was only a guess, Jie Tianran found it entirely convincing.
This only deepened his yearning for the Divine Era.
After all, his weakness lay in his bloodline not being powerful enough—it was precisely why he had become so obsessed with bloodlines.
If the Divine Era truly contained the most powerful bloodline in all the world, then obtaining it would be like adding wings to a tiger. His future would be boundless.
Hummmm—
At that very moment, the stone monument burst into light, identical to what Chu Feng had experienced before.
When the light faded, Jie Tianran found himself standing within a vast world.
This world, too, had visible boundaries, and the Divine Era could still be seen beyond it.
However, the structure of this world was completely different from Chu Feng's.
The world Chu Feng occupied was extremely flat, without any obstacles.
But in the world Jie Tianran occupied, while it was recognizably a world and the scenery of the Divine Era was visible, it was filled with countless sealing formations. Those sealing formations were layered one inside another, and Jie Tianran was trapped within the innermost one.
It was clear that unraveling these formations was the trial Jie Tianran faced.
However, at that moment, Jie Tianran had no mind for any of that, because he had noticed the change occurring in the Divine Era.
Before him, within the third gate he stood in, a beam of light had appeared and was forming a connection with the phantom above the Divine Era.
He naturally saw the elevated platform at the phantom's crown, as well as that coveted throne.
But at the same time, he saw that the second gate had already established its connection with that crown.
Moreover, from the very base of that connection, a nine-colored staircase radiating with light had already emerged.
"Damn you, Chu Feng!!!"
Jie Tianran's fists clenched involuntarily inside his sleeves.
He had entered the Divine Era first, yet Chu Feng had still managed to seize the advantage.
And just then, the voice that Chu Feng's world had heard also echoed throughout Jie Tianran's domain.
That voice offered Jie Tianran guidance: his world contained countless formations, and as long as he deciphered them, he could forge a staircase. The strength of that staircase, however, would depend on how perfectly he cracked each formation.
After the voice faded, Jie Tianran did not hesitate. He immediately began condensing energy and setting to work breaking the formations.
He was, after all, the Master of the Seven Realms Holy Palace. Although his attention had initially been captured by the changes in the Divine Era, that had not prevented him from surveying his surroundings. While the voice was speaking, he had already figured out how to unravel the formations before him.
The moment his barrier power coalesced, it took only an instant for the decryption to be complete.
The two forces intertwined, and the sealing formation that had been trapping Jie Tianran collapsed in an instant.
It had been broken.
But what awaited him next was an even more powerful sealing formation.
Jie Tianran did not observe the second sealing formation, but instead immediately turned his gaze toward his own passage.
He wanted to know what kind of ladder he had forged.
And within the passage, a ladder indeed began to materialize.
However, this ladder was formed from earthen bricks, and it radiated not a single glimmer of light.
In stark contrast stood Chu Feng’s ladder, possessing nine colors and exuding a faint, ethereal glow. The difference between the two was striking.
