The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 1641 In Search Of The Inheritance

If someone had found such an item, there would be nothing else for him to find. But there was a possibility that the spatial ring that Henricus Longus had left in this place was still around, so Minos wanted to at least check it out.

If it were, he would collect it and use it wisely, adding it to the resources he had already used from Henricus Longus' main inheritance.

He knew that man wouldn't mind this. In fact, that was his goal in leaving these memories to Minos. If others had not discovered his inheritances, it would be his heir's responsibility to collect and use them to the best of his ability.

If he found something, this would be, on the one hand, good, for he would have valuable resources for himself. But on the other hand, it would be bad since it would indicate that the members of the Longus family had probably disappeared from this world over the years, and he would have no help in his mission.

Henricus Longus had created these many legacies even before he had the prophetic dream about the catastrophic future when extraterritorial beings would invade the Spiritual World. But before his time in this world ended, he had revisited each of these legacies and left something else in them.

Because of this, these heirlooms could not only help talented and brave cultivators who discovered them but would also present them with a distant threat.

As payment for the items left behind, it would be the responsibility of those who conquered these heirlooms to do their best to help Henricus Longus' chosen one!

So finding the same thing such God left would be a terrible sign that he would have no extra help in the mission he was pursuing.

While he had things related to this in mind, Minos followed those two fish around this great city, swimming into the central area.

The City of a Thousand Races was so large that it would take half a day for Minos and those two to reach the innermost area of this place, where they would find ancient buildings different from those they had already seen in the outer area.

This was the city's core, which had been built millions of years ago and still had buildings more or less similar to those from the time of Henricus Longus!

Sapphire and Randall looked at the surroundings with shining eyes when they arrived there, for neither had ever gone so deep into this great city.

At the same time, it was in this area where some of the most powerful local leaders were, where these beings beside Minos could even sense the presence of cultivators at the end of the 10th stage.

Because of the pressure these beings naturally released, there were no beings weaker than Spiritual Saints in that area. Only those stronger than level 70 beings could be seen in the surroundings, shopping, selling, sightseeing, or working.

Minos was able to identify more or less where he was and then began to lead the way, heading for the statue of that human, which should be among the other statues in the area.

Even though he had been a human, Henricus Longus had a very good relationship with the City of a Thousand Races leader at that time. He had even saved this place from destruction once, having predicted an attack by powerful beasts that was only averted due to his advice.

Because of this, he had received the honor of having a stature of his built next to those of the warriors that ensured the survival of this place during a period of weakness of this city.

At the time, this place still lived up to its name and had only a few million inhabitants. As such, many kingdoms and sea empires attacked this place several times in the past, while this area had not yet become influential in the Spiritual World.

Knowing this, Minos would soon arrive in front of the central square of this city, where many local guards guarded the surroundings.

The statue of Henricus Longus was still there, relatively well cared for, but different from when such a thing was built.

Even though it was made of high-grade materials, time forgave nothing and no one, and even though the statue of that God had been well cared for by the locals, it had worn down quite a bit over time.

Sapphire and Randall saw Minos looking reverently at that statue. They understood that he must be proud to see what the first human God looked like.

"They say that the statue of Senior Longus is what he looked like back then..." Sapphire said, remembering the stories it had heard about this ancient God. "It's a pity that time has eroded some of it."

"Hmm, anyway, even after all this time, anyone who visits this city can see what Senior Longus looked like when he was still a Spiritual Demigod."

"Yes, he looked like that," Minos muttered, seeing that statue the same size as a Soul Avatar.

Inside each statue in that place were museums that one could enter if they shrank the size of their bodies to that of an ordinary human being. 

In these places, there were areas containing the stories of each of the beings represented by those statues in that area and their participation in events important to the City of a Thousand Races.

Minos then took the initial step towards the interior of the statue of Henricus Longus, where he could find the inheritance of this being near the statue's head.

The two fish followed Minos, once again having to pay entry fees, but unhindered by the many nearby guards.

The fee there was less than at the Ancestral Chamber of Commerce, so they saw no problem with the cost, even though it was stressful to pay to enter anywhere in the area.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them were climbing the stairs at the foot of the statue of Henricus Longus, following the path to the museum's beginning in memory of this man.

Immediately upon arriving at the second floor of this museum, at the height of the statue's calf, the three of them found themselves with some humans and beasts around, also visiting this place.

Meanwhile, there were paintings and artifacts around that level of the museum, particularly a golden armor that was supposed to have been worn by Henricus Longus in a battle in this city.

Minos saw that and knew it was fake armor since the real one was in his spatial ring!

"Ed, why don't we watch a little? It seems interesting that we learn a little more about his history." Sapphire suggested. 

"Hmm, but I'd like to go upstairs first. How about this? Why don't you guys see the area, and I'll meet you later?" Minos suggested.

"OK..."
