Island Master Wukang was laughing hysterically.
Although he was speechless in reaction to Phiroth’s prank of changing the shape of the Seed of the Ancestral God, what had to be absorbed has to be absorbed.
While the shape was like so, the content wasn’t…
Two of them sat on their knees as they face the crystal made transparent isolation box. They both reached out their palms and placed them firmly on it. Then, they closed their eyes and absorb the life force inside it through Secret Techniques.
The pure and strong life force left the isolation box like a small river and flowed into Garen and Lightless’ body.
This life force was much stronger than the air previously but it was very neutral, unlike the invasive air.
As both of them were absorbing it, they could clearly see that the green poop inside the isolation box had started to shrink.
Time passed slowly.
The night sky unknowingly turned brighter as the green light started dimming. Twilight had started to break in the sky.
After some time, Garen suddenly opened his eyes.
Roar!
The red dragon’s shadow flashed past his face.

Four dragon heads have merged…
He casually felt the changes of the Black Water True Technique inside his body. Four out of nine dragon heads had been absorbed by him.
The absorption of the dragon heads was not able to give him more strength as it was just a conversion of energy from the totem into Secret Technique.
The totem had weakened but in returned, the Secret Technique had evolved.
There was no change in the overall strength. However, as the strength was converted into the Secret Technique, he could apply this strength onto his actual body and evolve to a level he couldn’t have achieved previously.
The Black Water True Technique’s strength had undoubtedly become stronger again as there were only five heads out of nine left from the nine-headed hydra totem. The remaining heads were in high spirits and not on the verge of dying under the effect of the life force.
It was estimated that the convergence of the fifth head wouldn’t take long after this.
This was the benefit of the Seed of the Ancestral God.
Garen suddenly recalled the original ability of the Seed of the Ancestral God was to enhance the totem strength.
He closed his eyes as he felt the changes in his body and he could feel that his internal organs had become more active than before. Furthermore, he was able to control the Nine-Headed Hydra with his mind better and he felt that he still had more strength left in reserve.
He opened his eyes and glanced at the attribute pane.
‘Strength 14. Agility 10. Vitality 10. Intelligence 10. Potential 35124%. Possess the qualification of a Luminarist.
Seed of the Ancestral God Enhancement: Increased totem control limit by 1.’

An additional totem to control? Not bad.
Garen nodded in satisfaction. Compared to the increased merging speed of the dragon head, it seemed pointless to increase the totem’s strength.
He’d originally planned to obtain some small benefit but he didn’t expect to reduce the merging duration. It was indeed an accidental reward.
The sky had turned bright.
Garen and Wukang walked out of the stronghold after they finished absorbing the Seed of the Ancestral God. Although both of them obtained something beneficial, they had a strange look on their face.
As they walked outside of the stronghold’s forest, they saw a few guards patrolling in the area and didn’t see much totem users outside as they’re probably still absorbing the Seeds of the Ancestral God.
Before the seed appeared, the atmosphere here was very strict. Everyone was cautious against each other as conflict might occur at any given moment. However, the atmosphere had loosened a lot the moment the seed was condensed since one would have to wait until next year before the next one appeared.
Daniela had sent out a group of typically trained soldiers led by low-level totem users. Conflicts had been dramatically reduced and the typical argument could be settled by these patrols.
Garen and Wukang were walking outside and they didn’t think that the release of the seed of the Ancestral God would greatly affect the plants in the forest. Some of these plants had completely changed and some had been sucked dry by some parasites. It’s as if the whole forest had undergone a big change.
As the Ancestral God Tree was huge, both of them were almost lost as it was a no-fly zone.
As Wukang was about to wave his hand to the patrols and request for them to guide the way, Garen on the side stopped him.

There’s no need to rush. Let me handle it.

Garen glanced at the surrounding patrols and he grinned.

You! Come over!
He pointed at a short patrol.
This person was in an all-white armor and helmet. He was lowering his head as he followed his team from behind and seemed completely unwanted in any way.
Garen’s eye slightly turned red as he glanced at this patrol once more.
The leader of the patrol team heard their call and ran towards them.

Sir, what order do you have?
The team leader was a middle age man and he looked very humble.

We have lost our way as the geography of this place changed last night so we need a person to guide us around. There’s no doubt about it, let him guide us!
Garen pointed at the shorty standing at the very back of the team.

Alright alright… Garfield, you’ll now follow these two lords and guide them in their path. Report back to me when you’re done, understand!?
The leader talked to the shorty sternly.

Understood!
The shorty’s voice was quite coarse.

What happened to your voice?
The team leader was stunned and asked him softly.

It’s nothing. I had a flu last night…
The shorty Garfield answered immediately.
The team leader patted his shoulder and whispered.

Go ahead. Do your best. Perhaps these lords would reward you greatly.

The shorty Garfield nodded seriously.
Garfield stayed back with Garen and Wukang after he gave him his orders. The patrol team then continued their patrolling.
Garen looked at the shorty Garfield when the team was further away from them.

Alright. We planned to look at the Ancestral God Tree in a close distance. You have no problem with leading the way right?

Garfield was always lowering his head and immediately answered as his body kept shivering.
No problem! Of course, there is no problem in that.

Wukang who was at one side noticed something was wrong but he didn’t say much as he saw Garen’s expression. He was wondering what Garen had in his mind.
The three of them walked into the dense forest and increased their pace.
The totem users in the stronghold started to appear due to the change in the landscape. Most of the totem users were cautious towards Garen and the others when they saw them and would act in such a manner that they didn’t know them and avoid them completely.
Only small amounts of totem users who were confident in their strength would walk past them.
As the distance to the Ancestral God Tree grew shorter, the area of the stronghold became larger and the population of the totem users gradually increased as well.
They could see a totem user in the strongholds every few ten meters. These totem users were in all kinds of clothes and they’re obviously outside guests from different backgrounds.
Soon, the trio arrived at the second layer of the triangle and they headed straight to the first layer of the triangle.
A team of men in red shirts were guarding the passage up front and the leader’s eyes were glowing as he stared at the totem users who passed by.
The core of the first layer wasn’t as on alert as before after the condensation of the seed, and anyone could freely enter and exit the place. Many people had the same intention as Garen as they purposefully tried to get closer to the Ancestral God Tree. The Ancestral God Tree Pillar’s totem user was also walking inside the gap within the stronghold.
They had created a wall at the core layer and there were only three entrances and exit.
However, they weren’t sure when this group of red-shirted people had appeared at the entrance of the passageway.
They weren’t on guard but they were guarded by the side as they stared at the passers-by, as if they were looking for something.
Garen and the other two walked towards the entrance as they followed the totem users in white robes in front of them.
As they got closer to the men in red shirts, Garen could feel that the patrol Garfield who was leading the way started to tense up.
He was anxious.
Fortunately, the trio walked into the passageway without any issue. The leader of the red-shirted men stared at the trio and paid extra attention towards Garfield.
After they passed the tall walls, up in front was the zone where it was shaded by the Ancestral God Tree. The giant tree was like a giant green umbrella planted onto the ground as the branches draped over a clear small lake. A group of small mushrooms was making noises as it jumped and collided with each other. The air was filled with green light dots, the same green lights they’d seen last night.
Giant crystal butterflies were fluttering about as they flew around the branches. There were transparent ones, yellow ones, white ones and black ones. There were many of them stopping at the bush which was four to five meters tall.

Hold right there!!
A voice broke from behind the trio all of the sudden. The voice was deep like thunder as it deafened a nearby totem user in white robes.
A lightning sound was heard and deep blue lightning landed in front of them. The red-shirted man appeared in front of them.
The man was tall, tanned and his gaze was of lightning as it gave off a tingling sensation like a sun. His red robes were like a tight suit on him as they outlined his strong and muscular body.
What was most interesting was that there was a blue-black glowing light on his right side of the neck, as if a firefly was resting there. It was the size of a bean and it could be clearly seen.
The man glanced at Garen and Wukang before he focused his attention on the patrol Garfield.

This man seems very suspicious. I suspect him to be the spy who had escaped away from the Cthulhuism Society. Men!


Yes!


Take the spy away for interrogation!
The man raised his hand as two men in red shirt went up against the patrol Garfield.

Oh? How dare you to take away my guide right in front of me! The Cthulhuism Society sure is imposing!
Garen glared as he suddenly appeared in front of Garfield.

Nine-headed Snake Garen, I have yet to approach you for the old matters. Looks like you don’t plan on leaving Daniela alive…
The black-skinned man’s expression changed as he stared at Garen.

Since you know who I am, perhaps you people from the Cthulhuism Society haven’t learned your lesson yet…
Garen’s expression changed as well as he knew the man in front of him was not a simple character.

Thunder God Havana, the person you want is me! Don’t drag the others into the situation!
Unexpectedly, the patrol took away his helmet, revealing his white hair. He was a short youngster with the character Chuan imprinted on his forehead.
He faced the Thunder God head-on without any sign of fear.
Surprisingly, Island Master Wukang grinned as he walked to the front.

All of you step back. Today, I want the Cthulhuism Society to learn the reason for which I’m famous!!
