#2400 - Skills
Soul Clan Elder Jieno sighed softly, feeling a sense of melancholy.
Who could have imagined that Xia Luba, who had troubled the entire Tree Spirit Clan for so long, even almost leading to their extinction, would be dealt with by Fang Heng in just a few short days?
It sounds almost too good to be true.
"Prepare yourself, and wait two more days. If we confirm that there are no traces of Xia Luba, the Soul Clan will formally pledge allegiance to Fang Heng."
"Yes, Elder."
Dipper's eyes flashed with determination, and she nodded lightly.
… …
Two days later.
Inside the Soul Clan's Holy Temple.
Fang Heng received the scepter representing the Tree Spirit Clan's leader from the Soul Clan Elder Jieno.
The next moment, a dense stream of game notifications rapidly refreshed on Fang Heng's retina.
【Notification: The Soul Clan has pledged allegiance to the Vampire Clan.】
【Notification: The player's current comprehensive support rate among all major clans has reached 100%, fulfilling the mission requirements.】
【Notification: The player's current control over the Reverse World is 100%, fulfilling the mission requirements.】
【Notification: The player's hidden main quest - Blood Inheritor has met all conditions.】
【Notification: Calculating…】
【Notification: The player's current main quest progress has reached 100%, and the player has obtained World Master qualification.】
【Notification: Detecting that the player has controlled a portion of the game world, the player's current world - the World of Forsaken Woods is in a stable state, and the player's current world may be attacked by other worlds.】
【Notification: The World of Forsaken Woods has currently closed all entrances (the player can still enter this world using special methods).】
【Notification: The player has completed the hidden main quest, and the player has received a 100W Main God Point reward, and the player has received a special hidden reward (unique): Eternal Tree Realm, Annual Rings.】
【Skill: Eternal Tree Realm】.
Skill Level: Unique.
Skill Description: Summons the Eternal Tree Realm domain around the player (corresponding to the Reverse World of the World of Forsaken Woods), forming a special domain range within 2000×2000 (consuming extra mental power can increase the range), temporarily gaining a three-fold strengthening effect of the Tree Spirit Clan's Divine Tree (corresponding to Abe Chiye)'s sealing ability, and all non-natural enemy units within the domain range have all attributes reduced by 30%.
Special Note: This skill must be used in the state of binding the Tree Spirit Clan's Divine Tree (current Tree Spirit Clan's Divine Tree - Abe Chiye). If the Tree Spirit Clan's Divine Tree perishes, this skill will become invalid.
Skill Duration: 1200 seconds.
Skill Cooldown Time: 12 hours.
Fang Heng's pupils contracted.
It's actually a domain-type skill!
Judging from the game description, what he summons is the physical domain of the entire Reverse World, so to some extent, if he can find a way to gradually increase the Reverse World's strength, the skill's strength will also be correspondingly increased.
Conversely, if Abe Chiye's strength gradually weakens, the strength of the corresponding world summoned will also be greatly weakened.
Overall, Fang Heng believes this is a positive, growable skill.
He has confidence.
Abe Chiye's strength will only increase in the future!
Most importantly, through this skill, he can summon Abe Chiye to fight at any time.
As for the 12-hour cooldown time, it is acceptable.
At least it's much better than the Perpetual Moon's 72 hours.
How should I put it…
Fang Heng stroked his chin.
The skill is strong, but it doesn't feel that strong.
At least compared to the Perpetual Moon and the Undead Body, it still feels a bit lower in rank.
Oh well.
After all, it can be considered a big move, making up for his own lack of output ability.
Now that the Soul Clan has pledged allegiance to him, the construction work of the 'Reverse World' can be handed over to the Soul Clan, and then a summoning magic circle for Abe Chiye can be established in the 'Reverse World', so that he can use the domain skill to summon Abe Chiye to fight at any time…
While Fang Heng was pondering, he looked at the second attached passive skill - Annual Rings.
【Skill - Annual Rings (Passive)】.
Skill Level: Unique.
Skill Description: After the player casts the skill Eternal Tree Realm, the player gains 12 layers of Annual Ring imprints (the number of imprints obtained is related to the player's Naturalism level and Space-time level). The player can choose to consume one layer of Annual Ring imprints to briefly accelerate, decelerate, or stop time within the domain. After the Eternal Tree Realm skill ends, the Annual Ring imprints will become invalid.
Fang Heng's pupils suddenly shrank.
Annual Rings!
It seems that this skill is used in conjunction with the Eternal Tree Realm?
Manipulating the flow of time within the domain?
Fang Heng secretly estimated the skill's strength in his heart.
Well, just looking at the description can't confirm the skill's strength. It's best to find an opportunity to actually test the skill's strength.
Putting the skill aside, there is still a more thorny issue at hand.
The World of Forsaken Woods is different from the protection zone of the novice game world. As a high-level game world, it is at risk of being invaded at any time.
For example, the Divine Domain's pursuers can easily use him as a spatial anchor point to locate and pursue him here.
He must be prepared.
As for how to prevent it…
He can only let the Vampire Clan, the Federation, and the Tree Spirit Clan carefully search for unknown personnel.
Fang Heng has decided that, apart from a few companions by his side, no other players will be allowed to enter the World of Forsaken Woods, and even a single piece of news is not allowed to leak out, to ensure maximum security.
… …
Seven days later.
Divine Domain.
Sacred Arbiter O'Kneer and a group of Purifiers worked together to seal the Container of Arrogance, temporarily leaving it in the Faith Temple for safekeeping.
Inside the Faith Temple.
The magic circle slowly revolved.
Under the illumination of the sacred starry sky, one of the Containers of Arrogance, along with the entire surrounding sealed wooden box, slowly floated into mid-air, shrouded in the dark gold sacred starry sky of the Faith Temple.
After completing the seal transfer, O'Kneer took a deep breath.
Finally completed the sealing of the Demon Seed's container.
It can be considered a good deed.
Sensing the person behind him, O'Kneer slowly turned around.
"Great Sage."
"Mm."
Alreddin looked at the Container of Arrogance floating under the sacred starry sky of the Faith Temple, and nodded lightly, "You have worked hard during this period."
"For the glory of the Divine Domain, O'Kneer is duty-bound, but…"
O'Kneer paused as he spoke, hesitated for a moment, and continued, "From my recent observations, Fang Heng's strength is improving at a terrifying rate, and he has now mastered the power of dimensions, making him even more difficult to deal with. I am worried that if this continues, the power of the Demon Seed within him will gradually awaken, and he may very well become the second 'Jealousy'…".
"Yes…" Alreddin looked up at the sky, "Unlike other containers, Fang Heng is a true Demon Seed. Perhaps if we let him continue to grow, even if we can temporarily seal him, the Faith Temple will not be able to serve as a cage to imprison him forever."
"O'Kneer, I need you to speed up your pace."
"Great Sage, Fang Heng has the special ability to quickly traverse various dimensional worlds, making him very difficult to deal with." O'Kneer felt a headache, "Currently, Fang Heng is hiding in Prunose, under the protection of the undead forces. If we don't want to expand the war with the undead, we have no way to enter Prunose to capture him."
"Mm." Alreddin pondered for a moment, "We can't delay any longer. I have received news that the storm outside the Queen's Mausoleum will have a period of respite in two months. At that time, the undead camp will definitely not give up this opportunity to enter the Death Realm to investigate. This is the best opportunity for us to catch Fang Heng. I allow you to enter Prunose to take action. There is only one chance, and absolutely no mistakes are allowed."
O'Kneer's face showed solemnity, "Yes! Understood!"
