Chapter 1544 - 1544 The Reason
1544 The Reason
It was normal for Fang Heng to say that he did not feel anything.
After being implanted with a demonic seed through the ritual, most hosts would not notice that their personalities were affected.
To be precise, the human host body that was suitable for the demonic seed to live in was compatible with a certain sin, and the demonic seed magnified the sin in the original body.
However, since it was their first meeting, Luo Xu and Sun Zhaoyu didn’t know Fang Heng’s temperament yet, so they didn’t dare to say anything.
If Fang Heng was enraged and if they speak nonsense, they might be in trouble.
Sun Zhaoyu suggested carefully, “You can try asking your friends about their opinions about you. You should be able to find some clues.”
“Hmm.”
Fang Heng nodded and tried to clear his mind. He said, “So I went through some kind of ritual and now there’s something like a demonic seed in my body, right?”
“Yes.”
“So, as days go by, the demonic seed gradually grows stronger and then one fine day, I will also be devoured?”
“Hmm?” Luo Xu revealed a puzzled expression and could not help but ask, “Sir, why do you have such thoughts?”
“What do you mean?”
“After the ritual is completed, you will have fused with the demonic seed. You are the demonic seed, and the demonic seed is you. There is no such thing as being devoured. This strength is under your control, but when you use it, it will also subtly influence some of your actions.”
Luo Xu nodded very seriously and said, “Even if you’re affected, the final decision is still under your control. Everything is decided by your will. To be precise, it’s because you received the recognition that you passed the ritual of the demonic seed and accepted it.”
Hearing this, Fang Heng heaved a sigh of relief.
It seemed that the demonic seed did not have any negative effects.
For a moment, Fang Heng’s mind was in turmoil.
“I understand. You guys get up first.”
“Thank you, Sir.”
Luo Xu stood up and said, “Lord of the demonic seed, there are still many things that we need to report to you one by one. Now is not the time. Please leave this place with us.”
“Call me Fang Heng from now on. Also, are you referring to the Fallen Ones and corrupted creatures outside? What about the specifics? Who wants to deal with me? Was Sheng Tao also sent by that person?”
Luo Xu sighed in his heart and said in a deep voice, “The one who wants to deal with you is also a Lord of the demonic seed. To be precise, it’s your sister, Essekelina, the Lord of the demonic seed who has mastered the strength of the Tongues of Jealousy.”
Fang Heng fell into a short silence. After a while, he asked, “So why did she want to deal with me?”
“Demons that live in the abyss are creatures of Chaos. They might not need any reason to deal with you.” A bitter smile appeared on Luo Xu’s face as he spoke, “If you want to know the reason, it’s probably… because of jealousy.”
Fang Heng was speechless.
[Hint: The player has triggered a special main storyline mission-Seed of Jealousy.]
Mission title: Seed of Jealousy.
Mission description: You have found the servants of the abyss and learned from them about the rumors about the seven demonic seeds. You have realized that you have been contaminated by the strength of the demonic seed ‘Jealousy.’ Please survive under the corruption of jealousy.
Mission requirement: Clear the contamination of the Tongues of Jealousy in your body.
Mission reward: Hint for the next phase of the mission.
Fang Heng fell silent again.
Looking at the mission description, coupled with the conversation with Luo Xu and Sun Zhaoyu, Fang Heng suddenly found that many of the questions that had troubled him in the past had answers.
He was a demonic seed.
Then who was the one who planted the demonic seed in him?
The answer was already obvious
Xia Xi!
So she was also from hell?
Fang Heng felt a little confused and continued to ask, “How did you find me? Do you rely on the positioning?”
Luo Xu and Sun Zhaoyu looked at each other and thought to themselves, “You’ve already caused such a huge commotion in the slums. It’ll be strange if we can’t find you!”
Fang Heng saw the strange expressions on Luo Xu and Sun Zhaoyu’s faces and said in a deep voice, “Tell me, what’s the situation?”
“It’s like this. According to our current understanding of you and the information we collected from various sources, we have roughly made a guess.”
“Okay, you guys go ahead.”
“We know that you came from the Otherworld, but we don’t know how you obtained the demonic seed. We know that you found a fusion tree in Edoma Cervantes’ villa that night. Is that true?”
“Not bad.”
“There was originally a demon sealed under the fusion tree by Edoma.”
“You unintentionally weakened the strength of the seal and came into contact with the demon. This triggered the power of the demonic seed in your body, causing it to be further awakened.”
Fang Heng recalled the situation during his cultivation that night and frowned, “Wait, what did you say? Awakened?”
“Yes, awakened. The awakening in your sea of consciousness. The demonic seed was once in the seed state. Once the awakening is completed, the demonic seed in your body will successfully germinate. Only then you will be able to sense the existence of the demonic seed. If you have practiced occultism, you should be able to find traces of it in your sea of consciousness.”
Fang Heng unconsciously clenched his fists.
Awakening was the corruption that he had felt back then!
He had already vaguely sensed it.
It was very likely that he had been tricked by Viona!
When the two of them saw Fang Heng’s expression suddenly turn extremely gloomy, they could not help but shut their mouths.
“Yes, both of you, please continue.”
Sun Zhaoyu continued, “But the demon didn’t find any trace of you after breaking through the seal. Later, the people from the Occult Committee also discovered the explosion and came to the villa to provide support. The demon had just escaped the seal and was extremely weak, so it could only choose to hide for the time being.”
Fang Heng understood. At that time, because he sensed the explosion, he chose to go offline and hide, so the demon couldn’t find him.
“And then?”
“After that, the demon told us that he had found you. When we learned that you had been taken away by the Occultism Investigation Committee, we immediately created chaos in the city. We wanted to protect you before the Revolution Society found you. In order to hide our true purpose, we tried our best to make a scene.”
“It’s just that we didn’t expect that you weren’t imprisoned by the Occult Committee. We came up empty-handed again.”
“After that, we have been secretly following the Federation in search of you. Not long ago, we discovered explosive fluctuations at the periphery of the slums. The fluctuations in strength were extremely powerful, and even the demonic seed of the Tongues of Jealousy, Essekelina, sensed it in the Otherworld. She intervened from the outside world and placed an octagonal seal over the slums.”
“Yes, the eyes in the clouds above the slum are the eyes of your sister.”
Luo Xu was also very confused about this.
“We believe that the strength of the demonic seed in your sea of consciousness has been affected by a huge external force. The power of the demonic seed in your body has been suppressed to the limit, so the power of the demonic seed has backfired. This will stimulate the potential power of the demonic seed in your body to a certain extent, but it will also cause a huge power fluctuation.”
