Wang Han put his hand to his face, a wide, manic grin still plastered on his lips as he began to laugh softly, before his laughter turned into hysterical giggles as he raised his head to the sky. "It seems this whole kidnapping thing was a complete fabrication, just as I suspected. You're really something. You managed to turn everything around with such audacity and an amazing plan." A massive man, nearly four meters tall, with bulging muscles and blood-red hair, appeared. A ferocity emanating from his being sent shivers down Wang Han's spine. The moment their eyes met, Wang Han lowered his gaze to his feet in fear. He felt his instincts and his entire being warning him that this was a creature not to be provoked. 'Is this the Beast Emperor? So terrifying! His aura is suffocating. I feel like I could die with just one look from him if he so desired.' "That boy, Wang Kai, actually possesses very good qualifications. He has a diamond-like physique and would have been the most suitable person in this mortal world to inherit my legacy. But you actually outwitted him and exploited his weaknesses. Although your qualifications are utterly worthless, you deserve my inheritance, boy." 'What did he say about my qualifications?! Worthless?! And Wang Kai's qualifications are very good?' The emperor struck a nerve in Wang Han's heart, causing him to ignite a fire within himself before he sighed, trying to calm himself. 'Ha, well, no need to be angry. I am the ultimate victor, the Chosen One. Wang Kai was merely the first obstacle on my path to the top.' At that moment, Wang Han clenched his fists and bowed reverently to the crimson-haired emperor before him, asking him cautiously. "It is an honor for this mortal to meet you, Beast Emperor. Forgive me, but I have a few questions I hope to have answered, if possible. Would you be so kind as to answer this mortal's questions, Emperor?" "Hmm, your manner is respectful for an ignorant mortal. Very well, ask what you will, and I will answer you." The Emperor replied with a hint of satisfaction in his voice as he snapped his fingers, and a chair appeared beside him, upon which he sat. "Thank you so much for your kindness, Your Majesty. Now, regarding my first question, was it truly just luck that Wang Kai and I appeared here? Such a magnificent inheritance cannot be bestowed upon just anyone at random, in my opinion." A slight smile of satisfaction appeared on the Emperor's face as he quickly answered the question. "you noticed that, you're really no bad. Then the answer is no. Did you really think for a moment that you were insanely lucky enough to fall off a cliff and get the chance to inherit the legacy of one of the most powerful entities even in the Heavenly Realm?" "No, everything was planned. I manipulated the fate surrounding this mortal world, so that the person closest to this cliff with one of the Three Thousand Physical Structures would have to come and fall into it within two years. All of this was for Wang Kai. You're not a Chosen One, just an extra person dragged here with the Chosen One. But what was the result in the end? The Chosen One was killed, and who survived and forcibly seized the title of Chosen One? It was the extra person. Truly, what an unexpected turn of events, but still... very exciting." A look of shock crossed Wang Han's face as he listened to the Beast Emperor's explanation. He had suspected that all of this was planned, but he hadn't expected to be just extra person dragged along with the Chosen One, Wang Kai. This left him feeling inadequate, yet simultaneously content with his ability to change his fate with his own hands. "Okay, I understand. But if you intended to make Wang Kai the heir from the start, why did you orchestrate this rivalry between us and give me false hope of inheriting the legacy?" Wang Han asked, though deep down he already knew the answer. "Why did I set up the competition? Simply for two reasons: to test Wang Kai's abilities, and to make
