I Stack Attributes in the Apocalypse

Chapter 226: Departure

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In front of King Lin’s corpse were several items: a bottle of pale golden liquid, a white crystal, and three Source Power Sealing Balls.

Both Roda and Roxin stood still, and they just looked at Lu Ming.

Roxin spoke up from the side, “That crystal is a Memory Stone. It might contain some messages.”

This meant they wanted Lu Ming to take a look first.

After all, if there was an inheritance here, it was a promise made to Lu Ming by the siblings.

Lu Ming nodded gently and stepped forward to pick up the Memory Stone.

As Source Power poured into it, a message quickly transmitted from the

Memory Stone into Lu Ming’s mind.

After a brief check, Lu Ming sighed softly and shook his head.

“It’s an inheritance, but it’s useless to me.”

As he spoke, he tossed the Memory Stone to Roda.

This place was indeed the inheritance site of King Lin.

The few items in front of him were indeed inheritances.

Within the three Source Power Skill Sealing Balls were sealed three Ancient Realm Source Power Skills.

Breathing Technique: Breath of Flames.

Body Protection Technique: Three Flowers Crown.

As well as the Body Forging Technique: Divine Fire Indestructible Body.

But the problem was that there was a prerequisite to acquire King Lin’s inheritance—one had to possess the bloodline of the Flame Clan!

However, this matter was not unsolvable.

That bottle of pale golden liquid was the divine blood of the Flame Clan, and it only needed to be absorbed through a special method to transform an outsider into a full-fledged member of the Flame Clan.

The unfortunate part was…

Lu Ming definitely could not undergo this transformation.

It was not that he valued his human identity so much.

It was because he had a system within him. The origin and location of this system were unknown to him.

If he underwent the blood transformation and lost the system, or if he discarded his human identity and the system no longer recognized him… where would Lu Ming go from there?

Although the possibility was relatively small, when it came to matters involving the system, no matter how small the chance, Lu Ming did not want to take the risk.

So, he could only do Roda a favor and give these things to him.

Roda had accidentally completed the goal of entering the ruins this time, and was naturally overjoyed.

After quickly tidying up, Roda put away the inherited items and said to Lu Ming and Roxin.

“Let’s go.”

He did not have the intention to carry out the inheritance here.

It was mainly because the fungi carpet outside gave the three of them a very bad feeling.

Lu Ming had no objections to this.

The three of them quickly left, and there were no unexpected incidents until they left King Lin’s Mansion.

They returned to the inner city.

At the place where Uncle Lu was recuperating from his injuries, Lu Ming bid farewell to the three of them.

“This ruin doesn’t hold much value for me now, so I’m planning to leave.”

He would leave and return to Southern Mountain to farm his attributes.

This was Lu Ming’s plan for the next step.

Upon hearing Lu Ming’s words, Roxin could not help but ask, “Brother Lu, where do you live?”

As she finished her sentence, Roxin’s face turned red.

Lu Ming just shook his head gently and looked at Roda, “Where do you two plan to go next?”

Roda immediately said, “We’re heading back to Archean City to recuperate there and receive the inheritance.”

Lu Ming nodded and said, “If it’s possible, I have a presumptuous request…”

At the mention of a presumptuous request, Lu Ming seemed to be a little embarrassed. This made Roda smile and pat Lu Ming’s shoulder, saying, “If there’s anything I can help with, feel free to look for me.”

Lu Ming then smiled and said, “Alright, after I return, I’ll make arrangements, and in a while, I might bring a few people to meet you.”

Because Lu Ming suddenly remembered something Velo had said.

The Aeonians were happy to provide shelter to contemporary tribulation transcenders.

Their reputation within the Black Mist Zone was quite good.

Lu Ming thought that through Roda’s connections, he might be able to establish a connection with the Aeonians and improve the situation of the Southern Mountain people within the Black Mist Zone.

Of course, these matters were mainly handled by Huo Sheng.

After returning, Lu Ming would briefly mention it to Huo Sheng, and then it would depend on Huo Sheng’s decision.

Lu Ming was just asking Roda for a favor, and it would not be too much trouble.

After discussing these matters, Lu Ming, with his bags and bundles, was sent off by Roda and Roxin all the way to the exit of the ruins.

The news of the downfall of the Divine Dao Alliance spread very quickly.

Less than a day after Lu Ming killed Li De, the news of the Divine Dao Alliance’s dissolution had already become widely known.

Naturally, there was no entrance fee anymore.

The checkpoints near the entrance to the ruins had also been torn down by the heroes who were long dissatisfied with the Divine Dao Alliance.

Explorers came and went, and at this moment, the Flame Clan Ruin had returned to their former bustling state.

Just as Lu Ming was about to leave the Flame Clan Ruin, a familiar figure suddenly appeared before him.

“You’re… Quan Chao, right?” Lu Ming asked in recognition, and Quan Chao nodded respectfully, “It’s me, Mr. Lu.”

This was the person who had accompanied Lu Ming to the Divine Dao Alliance’s treasure vault before. After that, Lu Ming had followed the Roda siblings to King Lin’s Mansion and had forgotten about this person.

Unexpectedly, he was waiting for Lu Ming at the entrance of the ruin.

Lu Ming frowned, “What’s the matter?”

Sensing Lu Ming’s displeasure, Quan Chao hurriedly said, “Well, Mr. Lu, after your teaching the last time, I deeply realized how heinous my previous actions were! I have come to find you now because 1 want to serve you with and listen to your teachings up close.”

Look at what he was saying.

Clearly, Quan Chao had rehearsed them countless times behind the scenes.

But he was wrong about one thing.

Lu Ming was not some kind of righteous hero. He only displayed the attributes of one when someone provoked him. Otherwise, he was indifferent to what others did, focusing on his own business.

This meant that Lu Ming was not particularly interested in taking in underlings.

“There’s no need. You can go wherever you want. Just don’t follow me.”

Lu Ming waved his hand and continued walking towards the entrance of the ruins, bypassing Quan Chao.

Quan Chao did not dare to stop Lu Ming but bowed respectfully to his retreating figure, saying, “I’ll be in Archean City. If Mr. Lu ever needs assistance, just let me know, and I will serve you to the best of my abilities.”

However, Lu Ming ignored him and just increased his pace and quickly entered the gates of the ruin.

Even after Lu Ming had walked far away, Quan Chao still stood respectfully in the same spot.

Someone nearby could not help but say sarcastically, “He’s so eager to serve others, but no one wants him… I mean, seriously, buddy, if your strength is lacking, focus on improving yourself instead of trying to latch onto someone else. This is unorthodox.”

Laughter erupted from the onlookers.

Quan Chao slowly straightened his body and looked around.

He suddenly grinned strangely and released his spiritual pressure slightly, causing everyone to fall silent!

Only then did everyone realize that this man was a Spirit Realm expert!

Seeing the person who had spoken earlier turn pale and collapse to the ground, Quan Chao shook his head slightly.

If it was in the past, he would have snapped this person’s head off without a second thought.

However, after experiencing Lu Ming’s “earnest teachings,” Quan Chao had indeed changed…

He said loudly, “Serving Mr. Lu as a loyal follower is my good fortune. Those of you with weak wills and short-sightedness, how could you possibly comprehend Mr. Lu’s greatness?”

After uttering these words, Quan Chao shook his head and walked towards the entrance of the ruin.

Unbeknownst to Lu Ming, due to Quan Chao’s antics, his name had become widely known in the peripheral areas of the Hundred Thousand Mountains..
