Chapter 2402 Skill
Chapter 2402 Skill
Jeno, the Great Elder of the Soul tribe, let out a gentle sigh, feeling a bit emotional.
Who would have thought that Shaluba, which had troubled the tree spirit tribe for so long and nearly led to their extinction, would be resolved in just a few days at the hands of Fang Heng?
It almost seemed unbelievable.
Perhaps...
Fang Heng's appearance was truly meant to save their tree spirit tribe?
"Prepare yourself. Wait for two more days. If there are no signs of Shaluba, the Soul tribe will officially pledge allegiance to Fang Heng."
"Yes, Great Elder."
A glimmer of determination shone in Tippy's eyes as she nodded lightly.
...
Two days later, inside the temple of the Soul tribe, Fang Heng took the scepter representing the leader of the tree spirit tribe from Jeno, the Great Elder.
The next moment, a flurry of game hints rapidly refreshed across Fang Heng's retina.
[Hint: The Soul tribe has pledged allegiance to the vampire faction.]
[Hint: The player's overall support rating from various major clans has reached 100%, meeting the mission conditions.]
[Hint: The player's control over the Inner World has reached 100%, meeting the mission conditions.]
[Hint: The player has completed all conditions for the hidden main storyline-The Inheritance of Blood.]
[Hint: Calculating...]
[Hint: The player's progress in the main storyline has reached 100%. The player has qualified as a World Lord.]
[Hint: Detected that the player has controlled part of the game world. The current world-World of Forests is in a stable state, but may be attacked by other worlds.]
[Hint: All entrances to the World of Forests are currently closed (the player can still enter this world using special means).]
[Hint: The player has completed the hidden main storyline. The player receives a reward of 1 million King of Gods' points and a special hidden reward (unique): Eternal Tree Realm, Year Ring.]
[Skill: Eternal Tree Realm.]
Skill Level: Unique.
Skill description: The player summons an eternal tree domain around himself (corresponding to the World of Forests in the Inner World). A special domain area is formed within a 2000 x 2000 area (the area can be increased by consuming additional spiritual power). The temporary additional sealing effect of the tree spirit tribe's sacred tree (corresponding to Abe Akaya) is increased by three times. All attributes of all unnatural enemies within the domain area are reduced by 30%.
Special description: This skill needs to be bound to the tree spirit tribe's sacred tree (current tree spirit tribe's sacred tree-Abe Akaya). If the tree spirit tribe tree dies, this skill will be ineffective.
Skill duration: 1200 seconds.
Skill cooldown Time: 12 hours.
Fang Heng's pupils constricted.
It was actually a domain skill!
From the game description, Fang Heng understood that he summoned an entire entity domain of the Inner World. Therefore, to some extent, if he could find a way to gradually enhance the strength of the Inner World, the skill's power would also improve correspondingly.
Conversely, if Abe Akaya's strength gradually weakened, the strength of the summoned corresponding world would also diminish significantly.
Overall, Fang Heng believed this was a positively growing skill. He felt confident that Abe Akaya's strength would only increase in the future!
Most importantly, through this skill, he could summon Abe Akaya to fight at any time.
The 12-hour cooldown time was acceptable. At least it was much better than the 72-hour cooldown of the Everlasting Moon.
How should he put it...
Fang Heng rubbed his chin thoughtfully. The skill was powerful, but it didn't feel overwhelmingly strong. Compared to the Everlasting Moon and the 'undying body', it still seemed a bit lacking in prestige.
Well, it was still a major ability, compensating for his lack of damage output.
Since the Soul tribe had already pledged loyalty to him, he could delegate the construction of the Inner World to them. He would establish a magic array to summon Abe Akaya within the Inner World, allowing him to use the domain skill to summon Abe Akaya for battle whenever he wanted...
As Fang Heng pondered this, he turned his attention to the second additional passive skill—Year Ring.
[Skill-Year Ring (Passive).]
Skill level: Unique. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Skill description: When the player casts the Eternal Tree Realm skill, he gains 12 layers of Year Ring imprints (the number of imprints gained is related to the player's levels in natural science and spatial science). The player could choose to consume one layer of Year Ring imprint to briefly accelerate, decelerate, or halt time within the domain. The Year Ring imprints would become invalid once the Eternal Tree Realm skill ended.
Fang Heng's pupils constricted sharply.
Year Ring!
It seemed that this skill was designed to complement the Eternal Tree Realm. Controlling the flow of time within the domain?
Fang Heng mentally assessed the skill's potential. Well, it was difficult to determine the strength of the skill just from the description; it would be best to find an opportunity to test it out in practice.
Setting the skill aside for now, there was still a rather tricky problem at hand.
The World of Forests was different from the protected zones of the beginner game world. As an advanced game world, it was at risk of being invaded at any moment. For example, the pursuers from the Holy Realm could easily use him as a spatial anchor point to pinpoint and track this location.
He had to remain vigilant.
As for how to defend against this...
He could only have the vampires, the Federation, and the tree spirit tribe conduct thorough searches for any unknown individuals.
Fang Heng had already decided that, aside from a few companions, no other players were allowed to enter the World of Forests, and even the slightest information about it should not be leaked to ensure maximum safety.
...
Seven days later.
Holy Realm.
The adjudicator Orkney, along with several Purifiers, worked together to seal the artifact of Pride, temporarily storing it within the Temple of Faith.
Inside the Temple of Faith, the magic array slowly operated.
Under the illumination of the divine starry sky, one of the Artifacts of Pride, along with the entire sealed wooden casket, slowly levitated into the air, enveloped in the dim golden divine light of the Temple.
After completing the sealing teleportation, Orkney took a deep breath.
He had finally sealed the demonic seed artifact.
That could be considered a good deed.
Sensing someone approaching from behind, Orkney slowly turned around.
"Great Sage."
"Mm."
Aladdin looked at the artifact of Pride levitating beneath the divine starry sky of the Temple and nodded gently, saying, "You've worked hard during this time."
"For the glory of the Holy Realm, it was my duty," Orkney replied, pausing for a moment. After hesitating, he continued, "However, based on my recent observations, Fang Heng's rate of progress is alarming, and he has already gained mastery over holy power, making him even more difficult to deal with. I'm concerned that if this continues, the power of the demonic seed within him may gradually awaken, and he could very well become a second Jealousy..."
"Indeed..." Aladdin looked up at the sky. "Unlike the other artifacts, Fang Heng is a true demonic seed. If we allow him to continue growing, even if we manage to seal him temporarily, the Temple of Faith won't be able to keep him contained forever."
"Orkney, I need you to accelerate your efforts."
"Great Sage, Fang Heng possesses a special ability that allows him to traverse various dimensional worlds quickly, making him very hard to handle." Orkney expressed his frustration. "Currently, Fang Heng is hiding in Punoze, under the protection of the undead forces. If we don't want to escalate the war with the undead, we cannot enter Punoze to capture him."
"Mm." Aladdin pondered for a moment and replied, "We can't delay any longer. I've received word that two months from now, there will be a lull in the storms outside the Empress's mausoleum. At that time, the undead faction will certainly seize the opportunity to explore the death realm. This will be our best chance to capture Fang Heng. I permit you to enter Punoze to take action. There is only one opportunity, and it must not be missed."
Orkney's expression turned serious. "Understood! I will make it happen!"
