Supreme sect of all multiverse

A Path Revealed

As the last golden warrior crumbled into dust, the temple rumbled. A hidden passage revealed itself at the far end of the chamber, carved with glowing ancient runes.

Lin Feng wiped some dust off his robe and smirked. "Alright, that was a decent warm-up."

Zhang Wei cracked his knuckles. "I hope the next trial is tougher. That felt too easy."

Mei Ling sighed. "You really have a problem, you know that?"

The system chimed in:

"Next trial detected: Will of the Forgotten God. Success rate: 17%."

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow. "17%? That's lower than usual."

"That's because this isn't a physical battle. It's a test of willpower. Failure means permanent soul damage… or worse."

Mei Ling tensed. "Wait, worse than soul damage?"

The system remained silent.

Lin Feng smirked. "Guess I'll find out."

He stepped into the passage. The moment he crossed the threshold—

Darkness consumed him.

The Will of the Forgotten God

Lin Feng opened his eyes and found himself standing in a vast, empty void.

No ground. No sky. Just nothingness.

Then—a voice boomed.

"You seek my power?"

A towering figure materialized in front of him—a man cloaked in golden flames, his face obscured by swirling divine energy.

Lin Feng felt an invisible pressure slam into him. His body trembled, his very soul feeling like it was being torn apart.

The system chimed in:

"Warning: Supreme Soul Suppression detected! Host's soul is at risk of collapse."

Lin Feng gritted his teeth. "Tch… is that all you got?"

The Forgotten God's presence intensified.

"You think yourself worthy? You are but an insect before true divinity!"

Images flooded Lin Feng's mind—visions of countless cultivators falling before the heavens, their screams echoing in his soul.

He saw himself crushed beneath an invisible force, struggling, powerless—dying, over and over again.

A cold voice whispered:

"You will never be strong enough."

His knees buckled.

His mind screamed.

For the first time since transmigrating, Lin Feng felt true despair.

A Choice Beyond Power

But then—

Another voice rang out.

"Tch. So you're just gonna give up? That's lame, even for you."

Lin Feng's eyes widened.

It was… his system.

"Look, I trash-talk you all the time, but if you actually break here, I'm gonna lose all my fun. So hurry up and fight back, idiot!"

Lin Feng blinked.

Then, he started laughing.

His fear, his doubt—it all burned away.

He straightened his back, looking directly at the Forgotten God.

"I don't care if you're a god, a demon, or some celestial grandpa. If you want me to submit—"

He clenched his fist, Void Lightning crackling around him.

"—then try harder."

A surge of unbreakable willpower erupted from Lin Feng's soul, pushing back against the divine suppression.

The Forgotten God paused.

Then, he chuckled.

"Interesting. Perhaps… you are worthy after all."

The darkness shattered.

The Legacy Awakens

Lin Feng opened his eyes—back in the temple, standing before a glowing golden altar.

The system chimed:

"Congratulations! Host has passed the Will Trial! Reward: Partial Inheritance of the Forgotten God."

A surge of golden energy flowed into Lin Feng's body—his cultivation skyrocketing, his understanding of divine energy deepening.

Zhang Wei and Mei Ling ran over.

"You good?" Zhang Wei asked.

Lin Feng smirked. "Better than ever."

Because now—he had taken

his first step toward the power of the Forgotten God.

And this was only the beginning.
