Chapter 3 - the inheritance

Li Feng was in a world of light. It was the inner world of the God's Eye, where the inheritance of the ancient god was kept. Li Feng saw a human figure in front of him. He was a middle-aged man, with a white robe and a black beard. He had a noble and majestic appearance, and his eyes were the same color and shape as the Eye of God. "Greetings, young man. I am the god of space and time, the creator of the God's Eye. "I have been waiting for you for a long time." The man spoke with a deep, resonant voice that filled the space. Li Feng gaped, and knelt on the ground. He couldn't believe that he was facing the god of space and time, one of the most powerful existences in the universe. What did you want from him? Why had he chosen him as his heir? "Why do you kneel, young man? I am not your master, nor your enemy. I am your benefactor, and your friend. Get up, and listen to what I have to tell you." The **** of space and time waved his hand at him, and Li Feng stood up with difficulty. "What do you mean you are my benefactor and my friend? What do you want of me?" Li Feng asked cautiously. "I want to give you my inheritance, and help you reach the pinnacle of cultivation. "I want you to be the new god of space and time, and to continue my legacy." The god of space and time responded seriously. "Your inheritance? The new god of space and time? What are you saying? Are you not the god of space and time? Are you not immortal and omnipotent?" Li Feng felt confused and scared. "Not young. I am not immortal, nor omnipotent. I am just a cultivator who managed to reach the divine realm, and who created the God Eye as my supreme treasure. But even the gods have a limit, and I have reached mine. My life is ending, and soon I will disappear from this world. Therefore, I need a successor, someone who can inherit my power and my will. And that someone is you." The god of space and time explained sadly. "Because I? What's special about me? I am the weakest disciple of the Divine Eye Sect, and I have a defect in my left eye. "I have no talent or merit to be your heir." Li Feng refused to believe it."Don't underestimate yourself, young man. Your defect in your left eye is not a defect, but a blessing. It is a mark that identifies you as my descendant, and that allows you to connect with the Eye of God. You have my blood in your veins, and my soul in your heart. You are the only one who can activate the Eye of God, and obtain its power. You are the only one who can understand the mystery of space and time, and master its laws. You are the only one who can be my heir, and the new god of space and time." The god of space and time stated proudly. "Your descendant? Your blood? Your soul? What do you mean?" Li Feng was surprised. "I'll explain it to you. Many years ago, when I was a mere mortal, I traveled the world in search of the truth. On one of my trips, I arrived at the continent of Zhen, and I fell in love with a woman. She was the daughter of the patriarch of the Divine Eye Sect, and was the most beautiful and talented of her generation. We got married, and had a son. He was your ancestor, and the first possessor of the Eye of God. I passed on my blood and soul to him, and taught him everything I knew about space and time. He became a peerless genius, and founded the Divine Eye Sect. However, he was unable to follow me on my way, and stayed on the Zhen Continent. I continued traveling, and exploring other worlds. Eventually, I reached the divine realm, and created the Eye of God as my supreme treasure. I left it on the Zhen continent, as a gift for my son, and as a test for my descendants. I hoped that one day, one of them could activate the God Eye, and obtain my inheritance. And that day has arrived. You are the chosen one, young man. You are my last descendant, and the only one who can inherit the Eye of God." The god of space and time narrated wistfully. Li Feng listened to the story of the god of space and time in disbelief. He couldn't believe that he was his ancestor, and that he had his blood and his soul. How was it possible for a god and a mortal to have a relationship? How was it possible that he was the only one who could activate the God Eye? How was it possible that he was the heir of the god of space and time? "You don't believe me, young man? I do not blame you. It's a difficult story to accept. But you can check it for yourself. Look at your left eye, and tell me what you see." The god of space and time said to Li Feng.Li Feng did as he was told, and looked at his left eye. He saw that his left eye had a symbol in the center, which he had not seen before. It was a symbol that represented space and time, and was identical to the one the god of space and time had on his forehead. "This is the seal of my lineage, the seal of space and time. It is proof that you are my descendant, and the heir of the Eye of God. Only those who have this seal can activate the Eye of God, and obtain its power. You're the only one who has it, young man. You are the only one who can be my heir, and the new god of space and time." The god of space and time explained to Li Feng. Li Feng was speechless. He couldn't deny the evidence before his eyes. It was true that he was the descendant of the god of space and time, and the heir of the God Eye. It was true that he had incredible power, and an extraordinary destiny. It was true that he was the chosen one, and the new god of space and time.
