Irving slowly unfurled the parchnt scroll, upon which mysterious symbols and carvings identical to those on the rock paintings were recorded—presumably the language of that ancient race from millions of years ago.
Moreover, when his gaze fell on the very left side of the parchnt scroll, he suddenly seed to discover sothing.
The line patterns depicted in the scroll were identical to the terrain near the volcano in one particular spot.
"No wonder this scroll was hidden in a secret compartnt. That Duncan fellow must have known sothing, too bad he's already dead..." Irving muttered to himself.
Ti was running out, and he frowned, intently studying the contents of the parchnt scroll, searching for a way to approach the platform in the center of the magma.
However, he couldn't understand those mysterious symbols at all, and after searching for a while, he still found nothing.
Just as Irving was shaking his head in resignation, ready to give up, the system prompt suddenly sounded.
[The "Lost Legacy Scroll" has been activated!]
The next mont,
The mysterious symbols on the parchnt scroll suddenly flashed with a golden light, and Irving could clearly sense that these symbols seed to contain a vast power.
At the sa ti, the mysterious symbols discovered earlier on the rock walls inside the volcano, as if sensing sothing, also began to emit golden light.
In an instant, the interior of the volcano was bathed in dazzling golden light.
[Congratulations, player, for reaching the ruins of the "Taikoo Divine Clan" and completing the first round of trials!]
The system prompt in his ears was very clear, and a spark flashed in Irving's eyes, his originally disappointed mood suddenly becoming excited.
Imdiately afterwards, The crimson gem on the platform in the center of the magma seed to be attracted by sothing, slowly drifting towards this side.
After a mont, The crimson gem appeared before Irving.
He could clearly see that The crimson gem was densely inscribed with similar mysterious symbols to those on the scroll and the rock paintings, but the energy contained within was even more imnse.
Irving suppressed the excitent in his heart and subconsciously slowly extended his hand.
Hum... The crimson gem vibrated slightly a few tis and fell into his palm, and a flood of information surged into his mind.
The Taikoo Divine Clan!
An ancient and powerful race that once ruled the Earth millions of years ago.
However, with the arrival of the "Dark Overlord" on the Blue Planet, disaster swept across the continent. The power of the Dark Overlord was incredibly strong. It greedily devoured all life and light, intending to envelop the entire world in eternal darkness.
In this catastrophe, countless races perished, but the Taikoo Divine Clan stood up, fiercely resisting the invasion of the Dark Overlord, but ultimately were swallowed by this dark force.
Yet, before the Taikoo Divine Clan was annihilated, they condensed their power and wisdom into a crimson orb—the Taikoo Fla gem .
...
This information was not a system prompt but was recorded in the Taikoo Fla gem in Irving's palm.
A few brief sentences seed to sketch out the ancient battle that occurred millions of years ago. Irving's face gradually took on a complex expression as he absorbed the overwhelming amount of information.
First of all, the ntion of the Taikoo Divine Clan from millions of years ago implied that, long before humans, there had been other intelligent races living on the Blue Planet. This revelation was far beyond the understanding of ordinary people.
Secondly, there was the ntion of the Dark Overlord.
"So, this ans that the Dark Overlord had already descended upon the Blue Planet millions of years ago, and at that ti, all races, including the Taikoo Divine Clan, were completely annihilated." Irving murmured, furrowing his brows tightly.
For so unknown reason, he had a vague feeling that his own rebirth was not rely a coincidence.
At that mont, the system's prompt sounded.
Information about the Taikoo Fla gem in his hand appeared before Irving's eyes.
[Taikoo Fla gem ]
[Description: A legacy item left behind by the Taikoo Divine Clan. This gem not only contains the light power of the Taikoo Divine Clan but is also inscribed with ancient runes. These runes are the marks of the wisdom and power the Taikoo Divine Clan used to combat the Dark Overlord.
Only by mastering the power of this gem and rekindling the light of hope might one be able to save the world from darkness...]
[Auxiliary Skills: None.]
Irving's gaze lingered on the [Auxiliary Skills] section, finding it hard to hide his disappointnt. "There should be sothing. This gem holds the power left behind by the Taikoo Divine Clan. How could it have nothing?"
This ti, to enter the secret realm and contend for the Taikoo Fla gem , the Green Ivy Group had paid a huge price, and Irving himself had nearly lost his life at the hands of the Night Blades.
But as a result, the Taikoo Fla gem in his hand seed to be of no use at all...
Just then, the system's clear prompt sounded again!
[Does the player accept the legacy of the Taikoo Divine Clan?]
Irving seed to understand sothing and unhesitatingly nodded to confirm, "Yes!"
In the next mont.
The Taikoo Fla gem in Irving's hand, with its densely inscribed mysterious runes, suddenly burst with blinding light, swiftly flying towards his heart.
"This..." Irving had originally thought that by accepting the legacy, he would imdiately unlock the auxiliary skills of the Taikoo Fla gem. He had not expected this to happen.
Before he could react, a heart-wrenching pain erupted from his chest.
The light emitted by the Taikoo Fla gem, carrying a scorching temperature, easily pierced through Irving's chest and embedded itself into his heart.
"Ah!" Irving's entire body wavered and then collapsed to his knees. The veins on his forehead bulged, and beads of sweat the size of beans erged, as if he were enduring imnse pain.
In the belly of the volcano, his anguished screams echoed.
Even when Irving had been targeted by thirty or more mages of the Night Blades, causing his skin to tear open with hideous wounds, he had not made a sound. Yet now, he was curled up on the ground, his entire body trembling uncontrollably.
This excruciating pain lasted for over a minute.
[Congratulations, player, you have acquired the legacy of The Taikoo Divine Clan!]
[The Taikoo Fla gem has fused with the player and is now permanently bound.]
[As the player's level increases, the hidden powers within the Taikoo Fla will gradually be unlocked. This will not only grant additional attributes but also bestow specific special skills and statuses.]
[The legacy power is activating...]
[Congratulations, player, you have acquired the auxiliary skill: Blessed by Light (Passive Skill). Description: When the player engages in combat, the passive skill - Power of Light - will be triggered, creating a protective shield around the player to ward off external attacks.]
[Auxiliary Skill 2: Heart of Light (Passive Skill). Description: The player has fused with the Taikoo Fla gem. During combat, when injured, the player will benefit from the Heart of Light's healing abilities, accelerating wound healing and restoring physical and ntal strength while also dispelling negative states.]
[Auxiliary Skill 3: Soul Link (Active Skill). Description: The player can establish a temporary soul link with a designated person, allowing insight into their true thoughts. However, this consus a significant amount of ntal energy. The skill activation lasts only two seconds and is limited by the strength of both parties.]
[Auxiliary Skill 4: Not yet unlocked.]
[Auxiliary Skill 5: Not yet unlocked.]
[...]
When Irving painfully struggled to get up from the ground, there was no longer any trace of pain on his face. Instead, he looked extrely excited.
[Blessed by Light] and [Heart of Light], though auxiliary skills that automatically activate during combat, significantly enhance Irving's defense and sustained combat capabilities.
Especially now that his heart had fused with the Taikoo Fla gem , the healing ability he gained, coupled with the support of a healing mage like Vicky, made it nearly impossible to kill him unless struck down in a single blow.
"However, the healing capability provided by [Heart of Light] should be relatively weak at this stage, considering my level is still too low." Irving sighed and continued.
"As for [Blessed by Light], while it offers so protection, it certainly can't compare to the passive skill of the Sky Guardian Necklace…"
Yet, beyond these, what Irving valued more was the sole active skill activated within the Taikoo Fla gem – [Soul Link].
[Soul Link], akin to mind reading, could swiftly reveal the true thoughts and intentions of the other person when necessary.
This skill was not only imnsely useful in daily life but could also help make certain preemptive judgnts in combat.
"Unfortunately… it lasts only two seconds, and if the other party is too strong, the insight ti might be further reduced." Irving seed a bit dissatisfied with this.
If other players knew about his thoughts, they would undoubtedly be infuriated.
Although many guilds and players outside the volcano had given up on the treasure hunt and instead hunted Poisonous Fang Paralyzed Spiders in the forest, gaining substantial equipnt and materials, it was insignificant compared to the Taikoo Fla gem .
The crucial point is that the power hidden within the Taikoo Fla gem is far more extensive. It is the legacy of the Taikoo Divine Clan, the rulers of the Blue Planet millions of years ago. It's just that Irving's level is too low to activate it yet…
At this mont, the ti for the Flowing Light and Dense Realm's opening was about to end.
At the foot of the volcano,
Those players who had given up on the treasure hunt had gained substantial equipnt from the forest. Just as they were feeling quite pleased with themselves, they suddenly heard a system notification.
