"Are you really Meng Xin'er?" A glimmer of light flashed in Xing Chen's eyes as he looked at Meng Xiner, who was embracing him from behind.
"Yes, of course I am Meng Xiner, Xing Chen, turn around and look at me!" Meng Xiner said playfully.
Xing Chen could even feel her delicate body pressed against him, but he dared not turn around. If he did, everything he had worked for would be in vain.
Moreover, he had a question in his mind: how did Meng Xiner get in here? This was inside the body of the Golden Dragon. How could Meng Xiner possibly appear here?
The answer was obvious; this was not the real Meng Xiner, but an illusion. The real Meng Xiner was outside and could not possibly come here.
"Although you are not the real Meng Xin'er, I still don't want to hurt you, so..." Xing Chen said as he lifted his leg to step forward.
As he took that step, the scene before him vanished, and the Meng Xiner behind him also disappeared.
"I need to forget this place..." As Xing Chen's voice fell completely, he murmured to himself and then stepped onto a stone staircase, where he had first met Meng Xiner on the one hundred seventy-second step.
Then Xing Chen did not linger. With each step he took on the stone stairs, the people and events he had forgotten became more numerous.
Until he reached the eight hundred eighty-eighth step, where he saw Meng Xiner again, just before she was cursed by the Blood Fiend Hall Master with the Blood Curse.
"Meng Xiner, she is the one I like, but I clearly remember our first meeting wasn't here. If it wasn't here, then where was it?" Xing Chen couldn't help but want to look back, but at that moment, he suddenly recalled the words of the Golden Dragon: as long as he turned back, the Strongest Inheritance would no longer have anything to do with him.
"My memories must be left behind. As long as I turn back, I can retrieve them. As long as I turn back, I can know when I first met Meng Xiner. As long as I turn back, I can return to everything I want to know..." At this moment, Xing Chen's heart truly wavered. He wanted to look back to see what memories he had lost, but he could not turn back. He still remembered his purpose for coming here: the Strongest Inheritance!
"Meng Xin'er, I will not forget you..." Xing Chen murmured as he took out a dagger. Although it looked ordinary, it was a Divine Rank Divine Weapon, incredibly powerful.
"Meng Xiner..." Using the dagger, Xing Chen carved her name into his arm. Then he stepped forward once more.
However, what he did not notice was that with this step forward, the three characters representing Meng Xiner on his arm also vanished at that very moment.
Xing Chen moved forward for more than ten stone steps before stopping. During these steps, he didn't even know what kind of scene appeared before him.
“Xing Chen…” Just as Xing Chen stopped, a voice sounded behind him. This time, it was not Meng Xiner's voice, but Xueqing's.
“Xueqing Senior Sister!” Xing Chen trembled slightly and then gritted his teeth, walking forward without pausing. His intuition told him that he absolutely could not stop at this moment; otherwise, it would definitely lead to trouble.
“I must obtain the Strongest Inheritance…” Xing Chen muttered to himself as he walked forward, not even glancing at the scene before him. Any image merely flashed before his eyes and then vanished.
Obtaining the Strongest Inheritance was the only belief in Xing Chen's heart. He kept moving forward, unaware of how much longer it would take to reach the end, but he dared not stop; he simply closed his eyes and pushed himself onward.
“I will definitely obtain the Strongest Inheritance!” Xing Chen thought, and he was no longer just walking but had started to run.
As he stepped on each stone step, memories in his mind were rapidly disappearing.
Finally, Xing Chen stepped onto the last world, and Meng Xiner's figure reappeared before him.
He saw Meng Xiner looking at him with tearful eyes as he was absorbed into the body of the Golden Dragon, and she seemed to be shouting something. Unfortunately, the distance between them was too great for Xing Chen to see what she was saying. Otherwise, he would have been able to read her lips and realize that she was saying, “Don’t forget me…”
However, at this moment, Xing Chen felt little towards the image of Meng Xiner, as he had almost completely lost all memories except for this segment. Thus, without much hesitation, he stepped onto the final step.
With that last step taken, aside from knowing that his name was Xing Chen and that he was here for the Strongest Inheritance, he had forgotten everything else.
“I must obtain the Strongest Inheritance…” After reaching the summit, Xing Chen murmured softly.
“Congratulations on passing the first trial. The next is the second trial, which is…” The voice of the Golden Dragon slowly emerged, and then Xing Chen saw intense flames suddenly erupting ahead of him.
“It’s so hot!” The scorching sensation made Xing Chen take half a step back. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked toward the depths of the flames.
“Next, you only need to pass through this Fire Sea, and then you will complete the second trial.” The Golden Dragon spoke slowly.
"You sealed my power, how can I pass through the Fire Sea? Wouldn't I be walking to my death?" Although Xing Chen had lost his previous memories, it did not mean he was a fool.
"No, you won't die. As long as you have enough courage in your heart, you can break through the Fire Sea. But I must give you one piece of advice: do not look back, and ignore anything else you see; otherwise, you will die a terrible death," the Golden Dragon reminded him.
Xing Chen hesitated for a moment but then stepped into the Fire Sea ahead. As soon as he entered, he felt a wave of scorching heat rushing toward him.
"I can definitely break through! I want to obtain the Strongest Inheritance; I want to transcend!" With gritted teeth and this belief in mind, Xing Chen charged forward.
At the same time, an invisible flame appeared around him, blocking the surrounding waves of heat.
"As long as I reach the other side, I will pass this trial!" Using all his strength, Xing Chen ran forward. However, with only his physical strength available now, the short distance of five hundred meters felt like an insurmountable chasm to him.
"This is..." Just as Xing Chen was about to completely run out, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. It was a girl bound tightly. She had an exquisite face and skin like snow, but under the burning flames, he could see the painful expression on her delicate face.
"Xing Chen, save me!" The girl seemed to recognize Xing Chen. Upon seeing him, her beautiful eyes lit up with joy, and she hurriedly spoke.
"Why do I feel a pain in my heart? Who is she? Is she important to me?" A trace of anguish appeared on Xing Chen's face as the invisible flames around him suddenly diminished, allowing him to feel the external heat once more.
"Xing Chen, please save me!" The girl cried out again, her voice laced with pain.
"Why? Why does my heart hurt? Who is she to me?" Xing Chen kept asking himself this question in his heart.
"Child, hurry and leave now; there's still time. Otherwise, you will perish here," the Golden Dragon's voice slowly emerged, as if reminding Xing Chen.
"Leave?" Xing Chen was momentarily stunned. Looking at the girl's painful expression ahead made his heart feel as if it were being cut by a knife. No matter how hard he tried to think, he could not remember who this person before him was.
"Xing Chen, don't you recognize me?" The girl looked at Xing Chen with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
"Who are you? Did we know each other before?" Xing Chen hesitantly asked the girl before him.
"Ha ha, you really don't remember me. Since that's the case, you should just leave here quickly! Don't worry about me anymore," the girl said with a hint of a bitter smile on her pretty face, then looked at Xing Chen.
"I'm not leaving. I want to save you!" Xing Chen said as he walked towards the girl. At this moment, he had completely disregarded the advice of the Golden Dragon; he only knew that if he didn't face this girl, he would definitely regret it. Therefore, no matter what, Xing Chen had to save her.
"Don't come over!" The girl shouted loudly when she saw Xing Chen approaching, as if she was very afraid of him coming closer.
"I want to save you!" Xing Chen did not listen to the girl's words and took a few steps forward until he was in front of her. He then took out a dagger from his possession and cut the ropes binding her.
However, those did not seem like ordinary ropes. Even with Xing Chen's Divine Rank dagger, it took a great deal of effort to cut through them.
"Why are you saving me? You shouldn't have come over!" The girl shook her head as she looked at Xing Chen.
"I don't know. I just know that if I don't save you, I will regret it. So, I must save you," Xing Chen said after a moment of silence. At that moment, the flame shield around him completely disappeared, and he was once again fully exposed in the Fire Sea. The scorching heat made him feel as if he were suffocating.
"Do you still remember my name?" The girl looked intently at Xing Chen and asked.
"Your name is..." A hint of confusion flashed in Xing Chen's eyes; clearly, he did not know the name of the girl before him.
