Chapter 3420 Activation
[Hint: Your skill - Void Body - is being enhanced.]
[Hint: Your skill - Void Body - is being enhanced...]
The game notifications on Fang Heng's retina were refreshing rapidly.
The infusion lasted for more than a minute before it ended.
[Hint: Your skill Void Body has been canceled, and you have gained the skill - Void Bloodline].
Fang Heng opened his eyes again, raised his hand and clenched his fist, feeling the changes within his body.
Void Bloodline...
The power of origin.
After activating his bloodline power, the most noticeable feeling was that he had a high degree of control over the primordial power in his sea of consciousness that he had not yet absorbed.
With just a thought, the primordial power in the sea of consciousness rapidly compressed.
Unfortunately, he is not currently in the game's black fog environment and cannot view the specific details of the Void Bloodline.
However, Fang Heng had already guessed most of it.
In addition to enhancing basic attributes, bloodlines also provide additional control and resistance to primordial power.
"I wasn't wrong, your talent is far greater than I expected."
Brutus looked at Fang Heng.
To help Fang Heng temper his bloodline, he had almost exhausted all his bloodline power this time. His face was terribly thin, but he had a look of relief on his face.
Brutus took a breath before continuing, "You have fully awakened the bloodline of my race, and can better control the power of the void. Next time you face the Void Beasts... cough cough cough..."
The elder couldn't stop coughing.
Upon seeing this, Fang Heng quickly helped him up.
He hadn't expected Brutus to temper his bloodline by consuming his life force, and seeing the elder's appearance, he felt a pang of guilt.
Given Brutus' current condition, he'll likely only live for another three years, and that's assuming he doesn't take any action.
"Elder, I..."
"No need to say anything more. Even without you, my life is about to come to an end. It would be my honor to do something for the Void Clan before I die. Fang Heng, can you grant me a request?"
Fang Heng said solemnly, "Elder, please speak, I will do my best."
“You have already met the young people in my clan. Homan is the strongest and most capable among them. I have put a lot of effort into him, hoping to train him to be the next successor.”
"But unfortunately, I'm finding him to be too impulsive and unfit for any important task. I'm not comfortable entrusting him with the task of sealing the Void Beast after I die."
"Fang Heng, I hope you can take over the Void Clan."
Fang Heng's heart stirred.
To be honest, the Void race is very strong in combat.
However, the people in the clan are all unruly and difficult to control.
Seeing Brutus's eager eyes, Fang Heng could only sigh inwardly.
Never mind, I'll just consider it repaying the elder's favor.
"I understand, Elder. I will do my best, but as an outsider, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win people's hearts."
"It's alright, leave this to me."
……
The main hall of the Void Temple.
Fang Heng followed Brutus out of the side hall.
All the waiting Voidlings turned to look at the two of them.
Elder Brutus had sunken eyes and a gaunt face, as if his life force had been drained away.
"Elder, you..."
Brutus raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. He looked around at everyone, straightened his hunched back a little, and said, "From today onwards, Fang Heng will take over my position and become the new elder of the Void Clan, in charge of the Void Clan."
Upon hearing this, the hall erupted in an uproar.
Homan was so surprised that he could hardly believe his ears and stood there stunned for a moment.
"Elder!"
Homan had always been groomed to be the next elder successor. Upon hearing this news, he was stunned and couldn't help but step forward, shouting, "Are you kidding me?! Let him lead my Void Clan? An outsider!? On what grounds?"
“Fang Heng is not an outsider. I have confirmed that he has the blood of my clan. This matter has been decided, Homan.”
"Elder!"
Homan clenched his fists and questioned, "So what if he is from my Void Clan? What qualifications does he have to lead our Void Clan? What has he done for our Void Clan?"
Brutus looked at Homan and said in a deep voice, "Homan, step down."
He could understand Homan's feelings.
Unfortunately, his time was running out. Entrusting the Void Clan to Fang Heng was a huge gamble, but he was even more worried about entrusting it to someone else.
Although he had only been in contact with Fang Heng for a few hours, he saw hope in Fang Heng.
Rather than a slow death, take a gamble!
Homan looked at the elder, his eyes full of confusion.
Seeing this, an elder from the clan sighed inwardly and gently pulled Homan aside.
"Elder, please calm down. Let me say something. Although Fang Heng is a member of our Void Clan, he has only recently returned to the clan. We have limited understanding of him. It is difficult to convince the people if you directly hand over such important leadership power to him."
Within the clan, a senior member stepped forward and said, "Elder, I also agree that the matter of leading the clan is of utmost importance and requires careful consideration. In my opinion, it would be better for Fang Heng to temporarily act as elder and manage various clan affairs. When the time is right, he can formally inherit the position of elder. What do you think?"
Brutus naturally knew that this was the safer approach, but he didn't have much time left. He could no longer suppress the Void Beasts or expend energy on internal clan affairs.
If you trust the people you employ, there's no need to create any acting elders.
"I think what you said is very good."
Fang Heng spoke first: "Elder Brutus, I am willing to act as elder for a period of time. It is not too late to formally inherit the position of elder after the clan members have accepted me."
Brutus sighed inwardly and nodded, "Alright then, if that's the case, it's settled then. Fang Heng, the rest is up to you."
"Thank you, elder."
Fang Heng glanced at Homan in the crowd, stepped forward again, and said, "Fellow clansmen, the Void Beast is on the verge of awakening. If we continue to delay like this, it will eventually awaken completely. I have just discussed this with Elder Brutus, and I will take the lead to work with you all to completely solve this problem and annihilate the Void Beast."
Another uproar erupted within the temple.
What a loud tone!
No one expected that Fang Heng's first act as acting elder would be to announce the formal confrontation with the Void Beasts.
Is it really possible to do that?
The Void Clan has been dealing with the Void Calamity Beast for so long, and most of its members have been guarding the seal of the Void Calamity Beast since birth. If it were so easy, would Fang Heng even have a chance?
An older clansman sighed inwardly. He thought Fang Heng wanted to achieve something as soon as possible and gain the clan's trust, but he had backfired.
"Elder Fang Heng, this matter may not be so easy. The Void Calamity Beast is extremely powerful. We have tried to seal it completely more than once, but each time we have failed. Moreover, the Void Calamity Beast's strength has recently increased significantly. Taking action rashly may awaken the Void Calamity Beast, which would be counterproductive." (End of Chapter)
