Chapter 2404 Dealing with
"Source Land..."
Fang Heng murmured to himself.
Well then.
a.s.suming what Bai Mu said was true, if they trace it back, the tree spirit tribe accidentally discovered the White Abyss through their dimensional travel ability, found the Seed of Jealousy, and after making a deal with the Seed of Jealousy, brought back the Seed of Pride and used the power of the sacred tree to seal it.
The Seed of Jealousy thought the tree spirit tribe was too weak at first, so it gave them the power of the dimensional core to help them quickly enhance their overall strength.
Thus, the Nightfall Stone, used to enhance the seal of Pride, and the Nature's Heart Crystal, both of which were created from the dimensional core, were obtained from the Seed of Jealousy.
Got it, everything made sense.
Fang Heng couldn't help but bitterly smile.
This was bad!
He had initially planned to repair the Nightfall Stone to deal with the Seed of Jealousy, but after all this, he realized that the Nightfall Stone actually originated from the Seed of Jealousy itself.
It was a bit frustrating.
"Fang Heng, the information I can share with you is about this. The reason I came here in person is that I wanted to meet 'Greed' face to face," Bai Mu said, leaning slightly forward with sincere intent. "I'll be direct: are you considering cooperating with us?"
"With you guys?"
"Right, I've already found quite a few inheritors of the demonic seeds," Bai Mu said.
Fang Heng felt a spark of interest and continued to ask, "Alright, what are your thoughts?"
Bai Mu nodded, "We'll find a way to temporarily lure Jealousy away from the White Abyss. During that time, we can infiltrate the White Abyss."
"With our abilities, we shouldn't encounter too many threats once we enter the White Abyss. At that point, we can look for information about where the various demonic seeds are sealed by Jealousy, as well as the specific locations of these seals."
"We'll find a way to rescue the demonic seeds sealed in different worlds and unite to deal with Jealousy."
"I know that our current strength is negligible compared to Jealousy, but I believe that if we take our time and gradually free the sealed demonic seeds, we will eventually be able to confront Jealousy..."
Fang Heng listened to what Bai Mu said, lowering his head in thought.
Interesting.
He actually thought Bai Mu's plan was quite good.
The risks were manageable.
But the difficulty was too high, and the efficiency was a bit low.
If what Bai Mu said was true, finding the sealed demonic seeds would be quite challenging. Then they would have to figure out how to rescue the seeds and persuade them to cooperate...
Just thinking about the Pride seed they had encountered before gave Fang Heng a headache.
Each demonic seed had its own temperament, making cooperation a daunting task.
However, if Bai Mu could indeed manage to lure Jealousy away from the White Abyss as planned, it would be worth going to the White Abyss to take a look.
It wasn't really about Bai Mu's plan; Fang Heng mainly wanted to find a way to obtain some dimensional cores from the White Abyss.
After Bai Mu finished recounting the plan, he noticed Fang Heng deep in thought, so he also paused, giving Fang Heng ample time to consider until Fang Heng lifted his head again.
"What do you think? Are you interested?"
"Of course, I'm very interested. But..." Fang Heng smiled wryly. "You probably don't know the situation I'm facing right now. The Holy Realm has discovered my existence and is hunting me down..."
As he spoke, Fang Heng suddenly remembered something and looked at Bai Mu. "Hey, you're also inheritors of the demonic seeds. You must have similar troubles, right?"
Bai Mu glanced at Fang Heng and smiled slightly.
"Well, not really. We don't operate as recklessly as you do."
"Uh..."
Fang Heng felt a bit speechless for a moment.
Bai Mu had a point.
"Being a little reckless isn't so bad. At least it makes it easier for me to find you," Bai Mu said with a smile, nodding. "I'm already aware of your troubles, and I'll find a way to deal with them. If you have any new ideas, or if I find a way to temporarily s.h.i.+eld us from the Holy Court's interference, then..."
Fang Heng looked up at Bai Mu and nodded, "Yeah, of course. As long as you can help me temporarily s.h.i.+eld from the Holy Court's pursuit, I'm willing to join your plan."
"Thank you for your trust. I'm glad we reached a consensus. However, there's one more thing I need to clarify first."
"What is it?"
"It's about one of the inheritors of Pride. He's quite powerful and has a strong desire for control. His presence has led to a split within our ranks into two factions. Generally, we can still cooperate, but you know how it isthere can only be one leader in a team..."
"You want me to support you?"
Bai Mu nodded and replied, "Yes, I'm more suitable to lead the entire team."
Fang Heng curled his lip.
Since learning that he was a demonic seed, he had read quite a few books.
All the relevant records stated that the demon faction was an extremely chaotic race.
It seemed that they were absolutely right.
Having been torn apart by Jealousy, they were still thinking about infighting.
The good news was that it was only divided into two factions.
Fang Heng waved his hand and said, "No thanks. I'm not interested in your internal conflicts. It's exhausting. I just want to deal with Jealousy."
Bai Mu smiled and set down his coffee cup, saying, "Well, no need to make a decision right away. Let's leave it at that for today. By the way, I'll be staying here for a while, so feel free to come to me with any new ideas."
The negotiation had failed.
Fang Heng disliked taking orders from others as he watched Bai Mu stand up and leave.
Coincidentally, as Bai Mu was leaving, he brushed past Gu Qingzhu, who was walking toward Fang Heng.
Gu Qingzhu glanced in the direction Bai Mu had gone and sat down opposite Fang Heng, her curiosity piqued. She asked, "Who is he? His aura feels strange, and I can't shake the feeling that I've seen him somewhere before."
"His name is Bai Mu, and he is one of the vessels of Wrath."
What?!
Gu Qingzhu's heart jolted at the revelation, and she quickly turned to look again.
Bai Mu walked out of the caf under Gu Qingzhu's scrutinizing gaze.
"He has information about the White Abyss, and I just learned about his ident.i.ty," Fang Heng said, quickly summarizing the information he had just received and asking, "What do you think? What are your thoughts on Bai Mu's plan?"
Gu Qingzhu furrowed her brow slightly, trying to recall where she might have seen Bai Mu before.
"Be careful. He gives me a very dangerous vibe."
"Yeah, thanks. I'll keep that in mind."
"By the way, Sandy has been pestering to see you. I heard he's finished translating all the ancient books and claims to have made some important discoveries."
Fang Heng's eyes brightened.
"Great! Let's go see him together."
...
Zombie Apocalypse.
Underground Library.
Fang Heng was concerned that multiple entries into the World of Forests might lead the Holy Realm to track him, increasing the risk of them discovering its specific location. So, after obtaining the World Lord qualifications for the World of Forests, he decided to relocate all the books from the Soul Tribe back to the Zombie Apocalypse to study them at his leisure.
