There is a passage on the stele:
"We give you power, you only need to do one thing for us. When you collect the legacy artifacts of the twelve Beast Gods, you'll know what to do.
Choose now, either abandon it or accept the power of Zi Shen?"
Ling Xiao knew that the rat sculpture he got was probably the legacy artifact of Zi Shen.
The most powerful legacy on the Xuanwu Continent, should Ling Xiao give it up?
Of course not!
After watching that battle, Ling Xiao could roughly guess that the task Zi Shen wanted him to do was definitely revenge.
This is fair. He gains the power of the Twelve Beast Gods, and then avenges them. It's a deal.
"Accept!"
Ling Xiao pressed his hand on the option to accept.
At that moment, Ling Xiao returned to the cottage, but within his body, a pain akin to when he activated the Strange Beast Cauldron suddenly erupted.
"Hiss—"
Tearing pain continuously spread throughout Ling Xiao's body.
Ling Xiao bit his teeth tightly but did not cry out.
