Suddenly, players flocked to Vampire Apocalypse, rushing in crazily. So even included veteran players who had already entered mid-tier and advanced ga worlds. They gritted their teeth and bought rebirth stones to enter Vampire Apocalypse.
After all, many players in advanced ga worlds had fought for decades, yet their attributes were still not as strong as a new player who had just obtained the Vampire Bloodline.
Who could withstand such a blow?
Fang Heng hadn’t expected the players to be so frenzied and couldn’t help but sigh.
The Western District Federation’s move to recruit contractor players had proven quite effective. He simply copied and modified the template without needing to pay anything, acting purely as a middleman profiting off the margin.
He could even pick so outstanding human players from the ordinary player pool to inherit the Vampire Bloodline.
A triple win!
Grind!
Fang Heng barely needed to manage anything. He just had to dispatch vampires to operate the ships that entered different worlds, and every day brought in a large number of contribution points from the spawns.
As the spawns gradually leveled up, psychic skills of an extraordinary level began appearing in the spawns’ personal exchange column.
Continue!
Grind!
...
A bit over half a month later.
Outside the Vampire Temple, Arkley and a group of vampires waited patiently.
Seven days had passed since that battle.
Seven days ago, a ship under Fang Heng’s command had been carrying out a reconnaissance mission in an alien domain. During ore mining, they had a conflict with a supposed allied race, which escalated when the Shadow Clan intervened, and fighting broke out.
The battle kept escalating.
Later, the Shadow Clan and their reinforcents arrived quickly.
Both sides took damage.
Fang Heng’s fleet lost over thirty ships, with hundreds more suffering various degrees of damage.
Since Fang Heng was still in seclusion at the ti, the commander of the Federation’s Eastern region decided to withdraw to avoid an even larger-scale conflict.
Later, they learned that the allied race they encountered had deliberately picked a fight, and the Shadow Clan had already been spreading word among various spawn factions that they intended to target humanity.
"Your Majesty."
As Fang Heng stepped out of the cultivation room, Arkley and the vampires all saluted in unison.
"Rise."
Fang Heng raised his hand slightly.
Upgrading to master-level psychic required a massive amount of experience points, and it couldn’t be delegated to zombie clones. Even with non-stop absorption of spirit crystal energy, it had taken nearly a week.
Seeing Arkley’s serious expression, Fang Heng asked, "What is it? Sothing happened?"
"Yes. While you were in seclusion, two issues occurred that require your decision."
Arkley took a deep breath and first explained the encounter with the Shadow Clan.
Fang Heng’s brow furrowed slightly.
He had just been debating whether to continue grinding contribution points from spawns to see if there were demigod-level psychic skills available, or to first go deal with the Jealousy demonic seed.
Now the Shadow Clan had made the first move.
The Shadow Clan was a particularly troubleso race.
First of all, they didn’t have blood in their bodies.
That made them immune to blood manipulation. Second, they possessed the ability to shift into shadows. In this state, they were immune to physical damage, and even magic attacks rarely affected their shadow form.
While Fang Heng was pondering this, Prince Buller, having heard that Fang Heng had erged from seclusion, hurried over with a few others.
"Your Majesty."
"Hmm, Buller, what is it?"
"Three days ago, Prince Carl was seriously wounded and fell into a coma. We cannot determine his condition. He’s currently recuperating inside the Vampire King’s Coffin."
What?
Fang Heng’s eyelid twitched slightly.
Ever since acquiring dinsional power enhancents, the strength of the vampires had greatly increased. He hadn’t placed many restrictions on the dinsional power of the vampire princes.
A prince’s strength could be considered top-tier even in an advanced ga world.
Who could have injured Prince Carl so severely?
"Co, take to him."
"Yes!"
...
Vampire Elder Council.
The Vampire King’s Coffin, soaked in the blood pool, slowly rose from it.
The coffin opened.
Prince Carl’s face was pale, and he remained unconscious.
Looking closely, a wriggling gray life form clung to Carl’s chest, gradually fusing with his body.
Buller explained, "Your Majesty, we found Prince Carl already unconscious. There were no signs of enemy intrusion. The life form on his chest is extrely strange—we’ve never seen anything like it. We didn’t dare take further action, so we temporarily placed him in the coffin."
Fang Heng stared at the life form.
It was Ouroboros!
Fang Heng raised his hand and grasped the gray life form.
*Chi, chi chi...*
The life form slowly tore away from Prince Carl’s chest.
"Bang!!!"
The life form exploded mid-air into a cloud of blood mist.
"Ding!"
Amid the blood mist, a dark-colored key-shaped object dropped to the ground.
As the worm body gathered around Carl’s heart was destroyed, Carl gradually regained consciousness. He forced himself to stand from the King’s Coffin and bowed to Fang Heng, "Your Majesty, I apologize. I was incompetent."
"Who did this?"
"She called herself Xia Xi. She told to deliver a key to you. I sensed sothing odd about her and tried to stop her, but she attacked first."
Carl recalled the situation with a look of guilt as he spoke, "Your Majesty, I didn’t expect her sudden assault and fell into her trap."
Fang Heng frowned.
Xia Xi.
Unable to reach him, so she attacked a Prince of the vampires directly?
Fang Heng picked up the key that had dropped from the Ouroboros worm and examined it.
[Item: Ancient unknown key].
Description: An unknown key is said to guide the way to a lost path.
"Ah, this key..."
Arkley, who stood among the high-tier vampires, suddenly seed to recall sothing when he saw the key.
Fang Heng asked, "You know what it is?"
"Your Majesty, it’s the Key of Heaven Enlightennt. It’s recently beco very popular among the players."
"Hm?"
"Lately, so elite teams have obtained similar keys through various ans. Rumors say the real world is about to open the Gate of Heaven Enlightennt. Teams holding these keys will be able to enter and search for the Enlightennt treasure."
"Xia Xi... treasure..."
Fang Heng murmured and placed the key into his backpack.
The strange Gate of Heaven Enlightennt...
Was this Xia Xi’s ssage for him?
Buller frowned and said, "Your Majesty, speaking of the Key of Heaven Enlightennt, several vampire players in the clan have recently been invited to join outside teams in search of the Enlightennt’s power. Should we intervene?"
"No need." Fang Heng looked up and asked, "When will the Land of Enlightennt open?"
"It is estimated to begin in three days."
"Alright, I understand."
Fang Heng waved his hand and fell into contemplation.
Only three days.
By comparison, Xia Xi’s guidance was more important and ti-sensitive. Since there was no good solution for the Shadow Clan yet, he might as well set that aside for now.
