Inside the ship, many aliens had also sensed something unusual and got up one after another to look out the window.
Captain Erko frowned slightly and quickly exchanged a glance with Pena. Both saw the same look of confusion in the other’s eyes.
Had the barrier disappeared?
Why?
Could it be related to the previous explosion?
Of course, with the current situation still unclear, even without the external barrier blocking them, they didn’t dare to rashly enter the End of the Void to investigate.
They observed from inside the ship for a while longer when, suddenly, a member of the Greyrock Clan pointed toward the depths of the void. "Look over there! Someone’s coming!"
Everyone turned to look in the direction indicated by the Greyrock Clan.
It was Fang Heng!
When Pena saw the figure clearly, a relieved expression appeared on her face.
That fellow!
As expected, he wasn’t so easy to kill!
Fang Heng quickly returned to the main control room of the ship, and everyone immediately turned their eyes toward him.
"Got lucky. Picked up a little something."
As Fang Heng spoke, he lightly flipped his wrist, and a small cloth sack appeared in his hand. He gently tore open the mouth of the sack.
"Chi!"
At once, sharp intakes of breath sounded throughout the main control room.
Void crystals!
The entire bag was filled with tightly packed void crystals.
Void crystals themselves weren’t large. A sack like this could hold at least fifty pieces.
Pena and Captain Erko’s faces showed clear astonishment when they saw the contents of the sack, and they both turned to stare at Fang Heng.
So many?
This amount was equal to several decades’ worth of production from their five Kings of Gods!
How did he get them?
"This is what you wanted, right?"
Captain Erko stared at Fang Heng, secretly nodding to himself.
He admitted he had underestimated Ouroboros earlier.
Pena was equally excited, though she kept a calm expression on the surface. "Not bad. How did you get so many?"
"A secret. I naturally have my ways."
Fang Heng said lightly as he put away the sack. He looked at Pena. "Looks like we’ll have to revise our previous agreement."
Previously, their deal was that if he helped her obtain one void crystal, she would remove the parasitic seed.
Now that he had obtained an entire sack of crystals, things naturally couldn’t be settled with the old terms.
"What kind of change do you want?" Pena asked.
"I need some things."
Fang Heng gestured toward Xia Xi at the side.
Xia Xi understood and handed Pena a slip of paper.
Pena took it and looked it over. At first glance, she saw it was filled densely with a list of energy crystal-source materials.
The list had been prepared by Fang Heng in advance.
Everything recorded on it was a type of material that he could absorb and convert into Qi.
Most of them were extremely precious.
"I need to trade for equivalent items. These listed here are what I want. You’re welcome to come and exchange anytime."
"I understand. I’ll report to my Lord and arrange it as soon as possible."
Pena put away the slip of paper.
"These five void crystals are the deposit," Fang Heng tossed her another small bag. "I’m tired. I’m going to rest."
"Of course."
Pena nodded lightly and immediately inspected the contents of the bag.
After Fang Heng left with Zane, Captain Erko stepped up and quietly asked, "Well?"
"I checked. They’re indeed void crystals. Judging from the aura, the other bag he has is also full of void crystals."
"Tch."
Erko looked toward the passage Fang Heng had taken, greed rising in his heart as he sneered, "Didn’t expect Ouroboros to actually have some capability. But how did he get so many void crystals?"
"No rush."
"Really, no rush?" Erko licked his lips lightly and chuckled. "I’m just afraid that brat’s appetite will grow bigger and you won’t be able to control him."
Pena put away the bag. "There’s still a Chaos Seed our Lord planted in his sea of consciousness. As long as the seed remains, he remains under our control."
...
Inside the ship’s guest room.
Zane was stunned for quite a while after hearing Fang Heng describe his experience with the Void Clan.
So he went to the Void Clan for a few hours and came back having subdued the entire Void Clan along the way?
Xia Xi, on the other hand, found it very normal.
Ouroboros was always destined to conquer the entire universe.
Most races, when facing Ouroboros, had only two choices—either be destroyed or submit.
The Void Clan was smart and chose the latter.
"Zane, have you heard of the void prism?"
"I’ve heard quite a few rumors, actually."
Zane recalled. "But I didn’t expect that the void prism was stolen from the Void Clan by the five Kings of Gods. There’s a rumor that the void prism continuously releases strong waves of void energy, and the Kings of Gods have always been trying to find a way to absorb its power, but it seems the results haven’t been great."
"Fang Heng, trying to make the Kings of Gods obediently hand over the void prism won’t be easy."
Xia Xi said coldly, "If they won’t hand it over, then we’ll take it ourselves."
"No, no, no, no."
Zane shook his head repeatedly.
He had a deep-rooted fear of the Kings of Gods.
Even though Fang Heng was terrifyingly strong, the Endless Domain was the Kings of Gods’ main battlefield. Taking on all five of them at once was unwise.
"Fang Heng, robbing them is possible, but I’m worried they might join forces. Then we’ll be in trouble. I suggest we steal it instead. The five Kings of Gods don’t trust one another, each with their own schemes. With a few tricks, we can make them suspicious of each other and then take the chance to grab the void prism. It’ll be easier."
"That does make sense, but there’s no need for tricks." Fang Heng waved his hand after hearing Zane’s suggestion. "We still need the Kings of Gods to help us, so let’s not make things too tense."
"Huh?"
Zane froze.
Not rob... not steal?
Was this still the Fang Heng he knew?
And he wanted help from the Kings of Gods?
Was he joking?
"I’ll be in seclusion for a while. We’ll talk about the rest later."
Before Zane could ask more, Fang Heng had already closed his eyes, focusing his mind and entering his sea of consciousness.
Earlier, through the external Ouroboros cycle and heart fusion, he had devoured and absorbed a huge amount of Void Power. Now he finally had time to refine it properly.
Fang Heng entered an introspective state.
Origin Power filled his entire sea of consciousness.
With the Void Bloodline fully tempered, his control over the Origin Power had increased thousands of times. With just a thought, the Origin Power quickly compressed under his spiritual pressure, condensing into countless Origin Power light spots.
The light spots merged into the still-forming origin source core in the corner of the sea of consciousness. Its outline quickly filled in and gradually became solid.
Rows of game hints quickly surfaced.
[Hint: The player’s current mission-Condense Origin Power mission completion rate has increased to 21.1%].
[Hint: The player’s current mission-Condense Origin Power mission completion rate has increased to 24.5%...]
Huh?
So fast?
Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat.
He suddenly realized that after fully activating the Void Bloodline, not only had the speed of absorbing Origin Power greatly increased, but even the conversion ratio when absorbing energy and experience points had sharply improved!
If so...
With a bit of luck, he might be able to condense the origin source core in his sea of consciousness fully!
