Chapter 747: Three Tombstones

"Father!"

The Empress seemed to be overcome with emotion. She knelt before the tombstone and respectfully bowed three times to her father, the Divine King.

"Forgive your daughter for coming to see you so late. I know this must be a cenotaph you prepared in advance; you must have foreseen the future destiny of the entire God Realm."

This was the only time the Empress shed tears. Xu Yang gently patted her shoulder and helped her to her feet.

It was then that his gaze inadvertently swept across the surface of the blank tombstone on the far right. In the light reflected from the tombstone, he saw a human-shaped outline.

"Who's hiding in there? Come out now!" Xu Yang roared.

As Xu Yang roared, the fleeting soul light from the tombstone quickly materialized into a complete soul body: a mysterious old man radiating white light, with a benevolent smile on his face.

The old man glanced at Xu Yang and the other two, then fixed his gaze on the Empress.

"You are the only daughter of Divine King Beacon of Infinity, aren't you? I am the tomb guardian here. The Divine King entrusted a significant secret to me, instructing me to wait here for the appearance of his descendant."

After hearing the old man's words and discerning no hint of danger from him, Xu Yang felt relieved enough to allow the Empress to approach the mysterious elder.

Soon, the old man gently flicked his palm, and an incredibly brilliant silver gem landed in the Empress's hand.

"This gem was given to me by your father, who instructed me to await your arrival. According to him, this gem contains a crucial secret concerning the Angel lineage. I don't know the exact details, but the Divine King specified that his descendant who comes here must gain the power of the Angel lineage to facilitate the future search for the supreme artifact of the Angels, the Primordial Mirror."

Upon hearing the words "Primordial Mirror," the Empress instinctively exchanged glances with Xu Yang. Then, in front of the old man, she introduced Xu Yang's identity and explained the flawless Angel bloodline she possessed.

The old man heard this, looked deeply at Xu Yang, and finally let out a helpless sigh.

"Well, it seems this is fate. Divine King Beacon of Infinity was concerned that the Flawless Angel bloodline might fall into mortal hands, and it seems his words have indeed come true."

Xu Yang indeed showed a somewhat dissonant smile, looking coldly at the old man.

"What? Are mortals unworthy of possessing Angel bloodline?"

The old man helplessly shook his head: "That's not it. It's just that Divine King Beacon of Infinity instructed that this silver gem can only be wielded by a successor with the Flawless Angel bloodline, and that person must also cultivate their own unique Divine Spark to activate the Primordial Mirror artifact."

Xu Yang instinctively furrowed his brows: "How can this be? How can someone with Angel bloodline cultivate their own Divine Spark? Isn't that a joke?"

"No, you are mistaken, young man. The inability of the Angel bloodline to cultivate a Divine Spark is not a flaw. Rather, the Angel bloodline itself is like a vast vessel. Only after absorbing sufficiently powerful primordial energy can it autonomously form a Divine Spark. Throughout history, no one has ever achieved this.

According to Divine King Beacon of Infinity's judgment, only by truly reaching a realm comparable to the heavens can one achieve this unparalleled supreme accomplishment!

And to be comparable to the heavens, with myriad laws embodied, possessing the Flawless Angel bloodline is merely one foundational condition.

Because to be comparable to the heavens, one cannot be separated from the power of laws, and the strongest medium for wielding laws is the Divine Spark system.

In other words, to ultimately reach a state comparable to the heavens, the power of the Angels and the Divine Spark system inherited from the God Realm must be perfectly integrated!

And this, in the eyes of the world, is almost impossible to achieve.

How exactly this is done? None of us know, including Divine King Beacon of Infinity himself. These were merely his subjective judgments. However, after the defeat in that battle, Divine King Beacon of Infinity's Dao Heart became clouded, and he lost any chance of reaching a realm comparable to the heavens. This became his only regret in life.

Unable to fully comprehend the supreme mysteries of this heavenly world, he placed his sole hope on his daughter."

Only then did Xu Yang and the others realize the truth. However, the Empress knew that with her physical body gone, how could she ever reach a state comparable to the heavens?

The large number of old divine tribe subordinates that Divine King Beacon of Infinity had left for his daughter were quickly wiped out with the ascension of the new generation of Divine Kings. It was clearly impossible for him to fulfill this sole wish through his daughter. However, Xu Yang's appearance brought new hope to everything.

As expected, the Empress approached Xu Yang and placed the exquisite silver gem into his hand.

"You don't need to refuse me. You know very well that you are probably the only one in this world who has the chance to reach a realm comparable to the heavens.

Next, as long as we can successfully enter the Moonless Heaven and unlock the ultimate secret to activating the Primordial Mirror, all of this will become possible. This was Father's only wish, and it's only right that I help him fulfill it. Even if I'm not the one who accomplishes it, I believe Father will still be pleased."

Hearing the Empress's words, Xu Yang had no excuse to refuse and naturally accepted the silver gem.

After completing this, the Empress turned again to face the old man.

"Elder, I would like to ask where my father's original divine artifact is now."

The old man pointed to the tombstone on the far left.

"Below here is the location where your father's divine artifact is sealed. He also instructed that only after you fulfill the conditions to inherit this silver gem will you naturally be able to retrieve this divine artifact from deep within the first tombstone.

Likewise, if you do not meet these conditions, you naturally won't be able to wield this divine artifact."

After hearing the old man's words, the Empress finally smiled with relief and led Xu Yang directly to the tombstone on the far left.

"Try to communicate with this tombstone using your power! I believe if Father truly acknowledges you, he won't hesitate to bestow his divine artifact upon you."

Xu Yang did not decline. With one hand grasping the silver gem and the other gently caressing the surface of the leftmost tombstone, he allowed his flawless Angel aura to rapidly course over it.

Sure enough, before long, an incredibly brilliant silver light emanated from the gem's surface. When this light projected onto the tombstone, it produced an astonishing effect: the tombstone split in two, and the subterranean space where he stood was also opened.

"Heavens, I can't believe my father left a secret chamber here! Come on, let's go in and take a look immediately. If I'm right, his divine artifact should be sealed down there."
