Ace felt piercing pain as if sothing was drilling right into his true soul.
At this mont, the system's voice sounded,
=====
[A Dormant Soul Segnt had infiltrated Host's True Soul!]
--
[Please choose one of two options]
1. Destroy the Dormant Soul Segnt
-Cost: 10 Million TP
2. Create Fake True Soul for Soul Segnt
-Cost: 20 Million TP
---
[NOTE: Please choose within ten seconds, or the 1st Option will be selected by default!]
=====
'20 million?!' Ace was flabbergasted when he saw the price.
But when he noticed the context, he noticed that it was not 'soul conscious' this ti but 'True Soul!'
Both things were completely different and worlds apart.
So, Ace had no choice but to select and ask the system afterward what a Dormant Soul Segnt was and why it needed so much TP to destroy it!
"Active the second option!" Ace quickly said before that spirit noticed sothing while he kept pretending to be in pain.
=====
[The second option had been activated!]
---
[Thief Point(s): 33,880,000]
=====
Thereafter, Ace felt the piercing pain in his soul suddenly vanish, and when he checked his soul, he was astonished because a crimson-black crystal ball was hovering on top of his true soul.
Furthermore, Ace felt nefarious from this crystal ball, as if sothing was extrely sinister residing within.
But it wasn't over because that crystal suddenly shone in sinisterly before Ace felt sothing carving over the back of his hand.
He quickly looked and saw a vivid crimson tattoo of a tower had appeared on the back of his hand, and this tower was precisely the sa as the Regal Fiend Tower.
But the only difference was there were ten empty sections within the tower tattoo, like empty blocks. Although this tattoo looked completely normal, Ace could feel it was connected with the crystal in his true soul.
At this mont, the spirit's voice sounded again, "Congratulations, Contender NO. 10,203, you have successfully managed to form the Inheritor Crest!"
A cold intent flashed past deep within Ace's eyes before it changed into happiness, and he quickly bowed, "Thank you, senior, for giving this chance. But what do I have to do to complete the inheritance?"
Ace knew this Treasure Spirit was playing a sinister ga in the sham of this trial, and it had sothing to do with that Dormant Soul Segnt and this tattoo.
But he wasn't worried since the system could still tackle this dormant soul segnt with this fake true soul, and he could now destroy it with a thought, rendering whatever sche this thing was playing useless.
One thing was quite clear, though, it needed the other party willing to do its bidding, it couldn't force them against their will, and it was also where these trials co into play.
The Tower Spirit answered with almost what Ace had presud, "As you can see, there are then empty blocks in the Inheritor's Crest, which represent the ten floors of Tower Trials!
"As long as you can clear a floor, you'll acquire a 'Star' within the crest. As long as you acquire all ten stars, you'll be the true inheritor of this Holy Saint Tower! Now you'll be sent to the first trial floor. I bode you good luck and hope you'll be the true inheritor of the Holy Saint Tower!"
Ace was flabbergasted and then quickly asked a crucial question, "What about the rules?"
The voice, gently yet with a hint of coldness, replied, "There are no rules!"
The next mont Ace felt a suction force, and he was extrely familiar with this force, 'Teleportation?!' Thereafter, he vanished from his spot!
Just after Ace vanished, the soft and warm light suddenly dimd, turning dark and sinister.
An eerie voice sounded with a hint of uncertainty, "How did he appear outside, and where did that pet bird go? He didn't have innate pet space, or maybe he had Pet Storage Treasure which is quite unusual in this heaven.
"It doesn't matter anymore. Now he can either beco a vessel or catalyst…!"

At this mont, Ace's figure appeared right in the middle of a maroon grassland.
His expression was cold as he looked around, and as far as he could see, there was maroon grassland, and the grass was 1.3 ters tall at least. Furthermore, the sky was completely gray and dim without any clouds.
'Not only did it not tell the conditions to clear the trials, but it didn't even speak about the other contenders. Lastly, there are no rules which ans this place is lawless.' He thought grimly.
"System, tell about this dormant soul segnt?" He asked while he entered stealth.
"[The Ancient Soul Segnt Technique is an ancient secret soul technique where one can spread segnts of their true soul to create Soul Vessels. The Soul Segnt is like a parasite that will attach itself to a true soul and slowly grow while consuming the soul before nothing is left.]
"[Once a Soul Segnt completely consus the true soul, its host would turn into a soul vessel of the primal soul of the Soul Segnt!]
"[Then this soul vessel will be forever under the control of the primal soul, and it could even help revive the master if the primal soul was destroyed!]
"[But this thod is extrely dangerous because if the host sohow finds a way to destroy the soul segnt before it could take complete control the primal soul owner will suffer an extrely harsh backlash even death if the soul was already injured!]"
Ace felt a chill in his spine when he heard the true purpose of this soul segnt and finally understood just how nefarious this thod was.
But the system wasn't finished.
"[In the host's case, the Soul Segnt host was attacked by far inferior version of the real soul segnt. A Dormant Soul Segnt needs the help of an outer existence or a treasure to consu a true soul before turning it into a vessel. It is an extrely crude process, and the chances of exposure are very high, and the backlash is almost akin to death!]
"[Because if it was a soul segnt created by the Ancient Soul Segnt Technique then the current system level was not enough to destroy it nor Host would have the capital to even slow down the process!]"
