Jason hadn't expected the surroundings to change, let alone a pitch-black obelisk to emerge out of nowhere.
It hadn't been there when he and Jennifer traveled through the entire Island before, and it shouldn't have been constructed by any of the other present prodigies either.
Tremendous energy waves were being released by the obelisk which was too frightening to see. Thus, it couldn't have been the deed of any of the prodigies.
They were even more intense than the energy currents of powerhouses at the Specta stage.
This clearly showed that Jason was just about to enter the most dangerous Inheritance site.
The strong pulling force, followed by the energy currents and his gut feeling reaffirmed this.
But that also meant that it presented the best opportunities and rewards for him to grow stronger, much stronger than he was right now!
Approaching the pitch-black obelisk, Jason already figured that it was the place he was pulled to.
With that knowledge, he was not even surprised as he saw a bright blue gleaming portal on one side of it, looking like an entrance.
However, what astonished Jason were the engraved words on the obelisk above the portal.
Those words glowed in a blue light that contrasted against the pitch-black color of the obelisk, making it easy for him to read.
[Dungeon of the Primordial Descendant]
Countless symbols of all body parts surrounded these words followed by the three different cultivation veins symbols that were swept through the purest energy and many more signs.
"Just...what the hell is that?" He blurted out as his Celestia aura touched the portal.
All of a sudden, he felt a sharp pull that intensified, but Jason was rooted to the spot, unmoving like an ancient tree.
His golden eyes gleamed brightly while looking into the portal, only for Jason to ask himself.
'Primordial...where did I hear that?'
Somehow, Jason felt like he knew something, but no matter how hard he racked his brains, he just couldn't recall it anymore.
Whether he had heard or read it, his memory was hazy and his mind didn't allow Jason to remember anything.
This felt weird, and the uneasiness increased as he subconsciously took a step forward while his mind wandered off.
Forcing himself to stay in front of the portal, Jason wanted to take a good look at all emblems because they released strong energy currents.
Jason felt like this was a sign of whether the main inheritance for the specific body part was still present or not.
In the end, he was not sure what kind of dungeon had emerged in front of him, but just a few moments later, he heard voices from around him.
Because of that, he forcefully moved away, trying to see what others would do, first!
Oddly enough, it was Miranda and her group members that appeared in front of the Obelisk.
They didn't notice him because he concealed himself to the best of his capabilities.
Landing in front of the Portal, Miranda seemed a little bit concerned, while the other group members were smiling brightly.
"Let's enter the dungeon right now before anyone else finds it!"
"Yes, we shouldn't waste anymore time!!"
"We have made adequate preparations, nothing bad should happen as long as we work together!"
"Exactly, we don't need someone with a special eye trait. They're overrated, either way!"
"That's right. We are definitely strong enough to pass all trials, alone! Let's get the inheritance for all the pictured symbols! Afterward, we can show our masters that we are much better than anyone else.
If we find a strong inheritance, we might even be able to defeat our seniors, and show them how humiliating it is to be easily defeated in front of everyone!!
Nobody will ever dare to offend us again!!"
When Jason heard all of this, he couldn't help but think that they were a little bit full of themselves.
However, he didn't move a single inch or showed signs of being anywhere around.
Instead, his gaze was fixated on Miranda, who sighed deeply as she suggested,
"Let's just enter the dungeon, we should only be happy once we find something...what's the use of imagining all kinds of scenarios before anything happens?"
Her voice was filled with annoyance, and the other group members noticed this.
"Mira, why are you so frustrated? Is it because of that youngster? Just ignore him, we don't need him to pass the trials and be rewarded with treasures!!"
One of the young men in their group said, only for one of the older women to stare daggers at Miranda.
"Or do you think that we are too weak without that young boy? Did you really become that weak, or did you fall in love with him just because of his good looks?"
Ignoring their words, Miranda didn't take the bait, and she simply approached the portal while shaking her head as she asked.
"Is everyone ready, or do you want to waste more time?....it's not like I'm allowed to leave you guys behind...but can you guys please be less enthusiastic when facing dangers? It's like you guys want to die...rational minds will always find more rewards!"
Voicing out her frustration, she turned back to the portal, and jumped through it, leaving her group behind.
They could only stare at the portal for a second before rushing after Miranda, without saying anything else.
A moment later, Jason came out of his hiding spot, confused about the weird encounter.
"Just what happened right now? Miranda is really weird too...but those group members are truly...a disadvantage."
Jason was not sure why Miranda was with them, but there had to be a reason.
As such, he didn't think about it any longer.
Instead, he felt the strong pull around him and decided to enter the dungeon, following the others who had already disappeared into it.
However, just as he approached the portal, and was about to step through it, a robotic voice resounded in his mind.
[New Participant detected. Evaluation begins]
The voice sounded feminine to him and just after the initial words had been spoken, a mass of energy swept through Jason as he completely entered the portal.
[0%...10%..32%...65%..84%...100%. Scan Completed!]

[Difficulty determined- Calamity(Highest)!]
[First Candidate of the Primordials' Descendants has been found, difficulty increased!]
[Limitation of highest difficulty has been crossed due to participants' capabilities. New difficulty [Void] has been created]
With the sudden stream of information blasting in his mind, Jason had problems staying level-headed as he unintentionally cursed out.
"What the actual fuck...can I leave, please?!"
He didn't want to enter the Dungeon anymore, even less after the last three messages that rang through his mind.
'That's it...didn't I want to have a relaxing time to cultivate while advancing through the trials of an Inheritance site?!'
Unable to move a single inch, he was forced to look ahead, where he suddenly saw a ginormous tower that probably touched the sky, while its width was similarly shocking.
This caused goosebumps to appear all over his body when he realised that he was just about to enter the most dangerous dungeon at the highest possible difficulty.
However, how could he have known that his encounter with the dungeon was predetermined since ancient times and that his arrival had been awaited for eons, changing the fate of countless beings that would be saved by his grace and mercy.
A golden light emerged in front of Jason's eyes, dazzling him, only to appear right in front of the hundred-meter-tall gate that was actually the location for his first trial.
[First trial. Conquer the tower! Time left to advance to the first floor ]
