Chapter 2803 Crystal
"I understand. So, regarding cultivation?"
"Accelerating cultivation won't be a problem," Qiu Yaokang replied. "As the aura in the Vampire Apocalypse World intensifies, the speed of soul crystal generation will also increase significantly. By the way, the one you're holding is one that we cultivated in the Vampire Apocalypse World."
That's great!
Fang Heng felt a weight lift off his shoulders.
The Dark Clan had always been reluctant to leave the Death Realm. Aside from their long-held beliefs, a significant reason for this was the soul crystal.
The Dark Clan couldn't survive without the soul crystals!
Now that the soul crystal issue was solved, it would be much easier to persuade at least part of the Dark Clan to come to the Vampire Apocalypse World.
First, deceive a few of them, then gradually convince more.
As Fang Heng was thinking, a sudden flash of insight struck him.
"Hmm? Wait a minute, Qiu Yaokang, you said the soul crystal's formation is related to a soul energy field? When did this energy field appear? Did it start after the altar orb was activated?"
"Yes, roughly seven days ago, the energy field started to gradually form," Qiu Yaokang confirmed.
Fang Heng squinted slightly, his mind racing as a smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
Interesting.
It turned out that the soul crystals needed the existence of the Death Realm Orb to function properly.
How convenient!
Now that the soul crystals had been transported to the Vampire Apocalypse World, wouldn't this mean that the Death Realm would no longer have any soul crystals?
Just as he had been worrying about how to complete the Underworld Lord's advancement mission, Qiu Yaokang had just handed him the perfect opportunity!
...
The Death Realm.
At the entrance of the Black Stone Mountain teleportation passage, Kotal and the accompanying clan members were gathered, working together with Fang Heng's zombie clones to transport materials.
During this time, the morale of the Dark Clan had been extremely low.
Since seven days ago, the entire Death Realm underwent drastic changes.
The aura of the Death Realm was steadily depleting.
The Dark Clan had discovered that the environment they relied on for survival had drastically changed. The strength of the Death Realm was continuously waning, and even the soul crystals, unique to the Death Realm, had begun to stop growing.
The situation had worsened drastically in just seven days!
Even the soul crystals that had been stored in the past were starting to shrink.
Without the continuous supply of soul crystals, the Dark Clan would not only be unable to fight against Disaster creatures, but even their survival would be at risk!
With the shortage of soul crystals and the weakening aura of death in the Death Realm, the defense line the Dark Clan had established against the Disaster creatures was now in a dire and inferior position.
The Dark Clan didn't understand the true cause of these anomalies and mostly believed that it was related to the spread of the Disaster.
With the front line losing ground and retreating, a sense of pessimism had spread throughout the Dark Clan.
Just as this wave of hopelessness began to take over, Kotal's eyes brightened as the light from the teleportation passage appeared. He led a few trusted subordinates forward and greeted Fang Heng respectfully.
"Mr. Fang Heng, you've returned."
Fang Heng cupped his hands in return and said, "Kotal, we've been relying on your help these days. Without you, we wouldn't have been able to transport materials so smoothly."
Kotal had indeed been reliable.
Over the past few days, it was thanks to Kotal's clan that various buildings in the Death Realm had been disassembled by Fang Heng's zombie clones and continuously transported back to the Vampire Apocalypse World.
Now, Kotal's clan had already begun moving materials from Dragon Grave Mountain.
Fang Heng thought for a moment, planning how he would later convince Kotal's clan to help take care of Dragon Grave Mountain in his new Death Realm.
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Fang Heng raised his head and noticed that Kotal seemed troubled.
Kotal hesitated for a moment, sighed inwardly, and said, "Mr. Fang Heng, you may have heard, but during your absence, we ran into a huge problem."
Kotal didn't know the exact cause of the crisis.
When the crisis first occurred, the first person he thought of was Fang Heng.
It was a strange intuition.
At that moment, Kotal believed that only Fang Heng could help them.
Now, Kotal was anxious. The upper echelons of the Dark Clan were in a state of panic.
Fang Heng's heart sank, and he asked, "Has the Disaster mutated again?"
"No, it's the soul crystals and the aura of the Death Realm that are changing. We've run into a huge problem."
Kotal quickly explained the recent mutations in the Death Realm.
As Fang Heng listened to Kotal's account, he suddenly felt a sense of unease.
What a coincidence.
The changes started seven days ago.
It was exactly when he moved the Death Realm Orb from the Death Realm!
As he had suspected, without the Death Realm Orb, the Death Realm would change.
But he hadn't expected the changes to happen so quickly.
Fang Heng hesitated for a moment, then decided to keep this information to himself.
If the news leaked out, there would be trouble. The Dark Clan might demand that he return the Death Realm Orb, and that would create unnecessary conflict.
There was no need to create tension with the Dark Clan.
In fact, when Fang Heng took various things from the Death Realm earlier, most of the Dark Clan members were already dissatisfied.
The Dark Clan's four great empires were generally wary of outsiders, and only the Vanni Empire had been closer to him.
Kotal stood quietly beside him, noticing Fang Heng deep in thought, a bad premonition rising in his heart. He softly asked, "Mr. Fang Heng?"
Fang Heng raised his head and looked at Kotal, "By the way, Kotal, listening to you, I just realized that I haven't formally invited you yet. What are your thoughts? Would you and your people be willing to join me in the new world I'm establishing?"
Kotal, hearing Fang Heng's words, felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. He shook his head.
What was going on?
At a time like this, was Fang Heng still thinking about that?
Without the soulstone, the Dark Clan would be facing extermination. Was it really the time to drag his people, who were on the brink of destruction, to a new world?
"Mr. Fang Heng," Kotal said, his voice heavy with concern, "Even if we are willing to follow you to the New World, without the soulstone, the Dark Clan's combat strength will drastically decrease. Our survival will be at great risk..."
"Kotal," Fang Heng interrupted, locking his gaze on Kotal. "I'm asking about your intentions, first and foremost."
Kotal sighed, realizing there was no easy way around this.
He had anticipated this moment for some time.
Most of his people were hesitant to join the New World.
But he knew deep down that if they stayed in the Death Realm, they would likely be consumed by the spreading disaster.
What other choice was there?
They could choose freely.
With a resigned sigh, Kotal decided to be open with Fang Heng, "Mr. Fang Heng, there's still considerable resistance within the clan. I'll continue trying to persuade my people, but given the current situation, I can assure you that I'll be able to convince some of them to follow you to the New World. As for the others, I can't guarantee I'll be able to sway them."
"And what about you? What do you think? Are you willing to go to the New World with me?"
Kotal nodded without hesitation.
"I understand. Your words alone are enough for me. Without your support, I wouldn't know what to do," Fang Heng said, patting Kotal's shoulder with a faint smile. "Let me share some good news with you, too."
"Good news?"
"Thanks to your help, the concentration of death aura in the New World has increased significantly. And as a result," Fang Heng paused for effect, then added, "We've successfully cultivated soulstones in the New World."
