"The next level is the 85th level, and there's a high probability that the second Ghost Heritage will appear!"

Mercury checked the state of his soul, feeling increasingly restless.

The appearance of the Ghost Heritage was an immense opportunity for him—Mercury's family had integrated the Shadow Evil Dragon bloodline into their family lineage to carry on the Dark Magic faction. It took hundreds of years of selection to form a stable bloodline heritage, but even so, they still needed to consult the Gospel Book to find the best days for reproduction, otherwise, the deformity rate was as high as 80%.

As compensation, members of the Mercury family not only had a natural affinity for Dark Magic, but their soul growth rate also far exceeded that of ordinary people. A typical Mercury had a three-person soul, Silver a ten-person soul, Gold a twenty-five-person soul, and Holy Domain a fifty-person soul!

It was precisely because of such a solid soul foundation that Mercury's Dark Magic was unstoppable, just like how the Body Technique Series required a strong physique as a foundation, Dark Magic needed the soul as its casting medium.

In fact, there was also a partly complete soul faction heritage within the Mercury family, but it was incomplete. It was fine for soul cultivation, but insufficient for offense and defense, which was why it remained obscure. Furthermore, although the Mercury family had a high soul growth rate, they were not Elves.

Not being Elves made it extremely difficult to enter the Soul Faction.

However, according to Mercury's investigation, while Elves had an easier time entering the Soul Faction, their souls were more sensitive and fragile, so soul cultivation had to be done cautiously. Perhaps it was precisely due to these soul defects that Elves could sensitively perceive souls.

But in the Ghost Heritage, Mercury's powerful soul was almost like cheating; not only did the soul spirit enhance his abilities, many levels could be forcefully withstood! And the rewards from the Ghost Heritage made up for Mercury's shortcomings in the Soul Faction, allowing him to progress by leaps and bounds!

So upon seeing the Ghost Heritage under attack, Mercury was almost the most anxious among them. He was quite sure that he was in the first echelon of the Ghost Heritage, possibly even the most promising candidate to seize the Ghost Heritage seed!

If the Ghost Heritage were dismantled in the chaotic battle involving the Divine Lord, it would be nearly impossible for him to claim that part of the heritage meant for him!

"The progress is a bit strained now... but there's probably only two or three days left!" Mercury furiously resolved in his heart: "Today at least reach level 90, only then can I possibly get ahead of everyone and seize the Ghost Heritage!"

"The Ghost Heritage I've obtained is good, but it lacks the most crucial 'Concept'! If perhaps the concept is in the Ghost Heritage... Becoming a Demigod is within reach!"

"By that time, the mere Kingdom of Gospel, and that wet-behind-the-ears Empress..."

As Mercury pondered, black fog engulfed the hall. Facing the unprecedented change, he was somewhat astonished but still first used the soul Miracle to protect himself, with a gauzy garment like flowing water appearing on his body.

This was indeed the Ghost Heritage Legendary Miracle 'Sea Soul Garment' he had obtained! With this Miracle protection, almost all external influences could be weakened!

However, once the black fog dissipated, Mercury's face immediately changed dramatically!

In front of him were over twenty 'corpses' lying all over the ground!

And four mysterious figures in black robes!

Zzzt!

Before he could make any move, chaotic threads firmly locked him!

The next second, a sword was laid across his neck.

"You can first try to see if the Ghost Key works." The figure in black said, "Do you recognize your situation?"

Finding himself unable to leave the Ghost Heritage, Mercury quickly calmed down: "What do you want?"

"Show all the rewards from both external and internal Ghost Heritages that you have obtained." The figure in black said, "We will choose one Technique Spirit."

"And then you'll let me go?"

"Not only that, we'll also take most of your soul to repair the Ghost Heritage."

The figure in black kicked one of the 'corpses' on the ground, saying, "Then you'll end up like them, needing a few hours to reconnect with your physical body—but at least you can survive."

Repair the heritage!?

Mercury's expression was stormy, "Who exactly are you? Why repair the Ghost Heritage?"

"Isn't it simple? They think they can't compete, so they want to flip the table and ruin the Ghost Heritage, giving them a chance to seize the core rewards. But since there are those who can't compete, naturally there are those who can." The figure in black said, "The test of the Ghost Heritage has already begun. To ensure the test runs smoothly, during this period, the Ghost Heritage cannot collapse."

Mercury murmured, "The Ghost Heritage... is it already over?"

"Not quite, but we've already gained partial control of the Ghost Heritage's authority." The figure in black shrugged, "So, will you cooperate? If you don't, we'll take all your soul."

Mercury smiled bitterly, "How can I trust you? Just because of the dozens of lingering souls here that you can trample to death at any time?"

"Just because we don't know which kingdom you belong to." The figure in black said.

Mercury was stunned, then understood their implication, sighing, "Which Divine Lord is behind you?"

"First tell me which kingdom you're from." The figure in black retorted, with a mocking tone, "Maybe we'll let you go."

Mercury naturally did not dare to say.

Indeed, he had seen the Divine Lord send people to attack the Ghost Heritage and should have known that the Ghost Heritage had long been predetermined. How could an ordinary Holy Domain like him possibly touch the Ghost Heritage? He was just complacent about reaching level 85, not knowing that the Divine Lord's participants were already inheriting the Ghost Heritage.
