Chapter 199: Amazing Efficiency! (Combined five into one, 10/10) _5
"You've all seen it; the Blood God Altar has been destroyed. Obviously, the negotiations were successful..."
"What?! Did the Dominator of the Undead destroy it?"
"Yes."
"So quickly?! Didn't you just return?"
At this, Cha Kuku was speechless. "Thankfully, he was magnanimous and didn't seek to annihilate us. Given his power, our Beast-man Clan would have been in grave danger otherwise! After all, our Lord Beast God is already disappointed in us. If the Dominator of the Undead were to come again, no one would be left to protect us."
"That's great! How did your negotiations succeed?"
"We exchanged the Legendary Heart, left behind by our clan's hero, for this outcome. You mustn't spread word of this; it must be kept confidential, as disclosure could have negative repercussions."
At these words, the assembled beast-man masters didn't know what to say.
Indeed, to trade the Legendary Heart from the body of their clan's hero in exchange for peace was a tremendous insult to the Beast-man Clan, which had always valued honor above all else.
For the sake of their survival, they had no other choice.
Seeing that Chen Mo had already concluded his business, while he himself had yet to deliver the agreed item, Cha Kuku dared not delay any longer.
What if the other party gets angry and comes to kill us?
He immediately flew into the Priest Cottage, retrieved the Legendary Heart, and then sped towards the Land of the Undead.
Meanwhile, in the Land of the Undead, Chen Mo was surprised to find that the Fear Collector's collection speed had increased considerably.
Of course, it has sped up, he thought. My actions thoroughly terrified the upper echelons of the Beast-man Clan. How could this fear Energy not accumulate quickly? The fear Energy from masters is far more valuable than that from rookies. However, it's not easy for a master's level of fear to intensify so drastically all at once. My first assault on the Beast-man Clan instilled the first layer of fear in them. This time, instantly destroying the Blood God Altar pushed their fear to a second layer.
Whenever the beast-man leaders merely considered Chen Mo destroying their tribes at such a pace, a chilling sense of powerlessness rose from the depths of their hearts.
Naturally, their fear deepened.
With the deaths of numerous leeches and the deepening fear of the Beast-man Clan, the recovery rate of death energy in the Land of the Undead soared. It soon surpassed 75% and was still rapidly increasing.
Now that the death energy recovery had reached the required level, the Undead's Secret Realm could finally be opened; it was ready to receive new power!
However, the Legendary Heart hadn't arrived yet. Chen Mo, fearing the instance dungeon would end once he completed the main quest, decided to wait a little longer.
Soon, Cha Kuku arrived at the Land of the Undead.
Upon hearing of his arrival, Chen Mo immediately had him summoned.
Cha Kuku rushed forward in a great hurry, terrified that any delay might anger Chen Mo.
"Lord Dominator," he said, "this is the Legendary Heart that our tribe has preserved. Please verify it."
This time, Gu Daofu didn't even need a signal from Chen Mo; he directly took the item for him.
Chen Mo examined it with his senses. Indeed, it was the Legendary Heart. He nodded in satisfaction and said, "Good. From now on, your Beast-man Clan should conduct yourselves well. Don't always think of causing trouble in our Land of the Undead. We are merely defending our own territory and have never intruded upon your lands. Yet your Beast-man Clan attacks us based on mere whims, disregarding all reason. Don't you think that lacks a certain degree of fairness?"
"Yes, yes! I will educate them thoroughly when I return. I guarantee that in the future, no beast-man will harbor malice towards Ghosts."
"Alright, you may go now."
Chen Mo didn't really care about the Beast-man Clan's attitude.
After all, only when you have strength will others reason with you. Without strength, they wouldn't even give you the time of day. All that talk is pretty useless, he mused.
He had only said those words to lay some groundwork for control, in case he returned to this world after his second-transition.
Having obtained the Legendary Heart, Chen Mo wasted no more time. He rose and directly entered the basement in the rear hall of the palace.
There was a large, hidden door here.
It required a sufficient Undead Worship Degree to be opened.
Chen Mo now met this requirement.
When Chen Mo arrived before this massive, hidden door, he initially assumed it needed to be pushed open.
However, when he reached out, his hand passed right through the door.
This genuinely surprised Chen Mo.
He walked directly through the door and into the world beyond.
[The Heavenly Path's Hint: Congratulations on reaching the Undead's Dominator's Inheritance Space. The previous Dominator of the Undead has left his power for you. Do you wish to accept the inheritance immediately?
Upon acceptance, the tasks in the current instance world will be automatically concluded. Please confirm!]
So, there's a chance to confirm before the inheritance, Chen Mo thought.
With the Profession Specific Artifacts' fragments secured and no reason to linger, Chen Mo immediately chose to confirm.
The instant he confirmed, a majestic surge of Energy flooded into his body.
Chen Mo felt as if something deep within his soul had been unlocked, and Energy continuously poured in, wave after wave.
Just as he was reveling in the sublime sensation, feeling as if his soul were about to ascend, the inheritance Energy was completely depleted.
[The Heavenly Path's Hint: Congratulations! You have accepted the inheritance of the previous Dominator of the Undead. Your current profession has changed to 'First-Transition Dominator of the Undead – Ten-Star'!]
[The Heavenly Path's Hint: Due to your successful profession transition, you have been granted an opportunity to reset your attribute points. Would you like to do so?]
It's about time to reset my points, Chen Mo mused. I allocated so many points to Constitution before. Now that my overall attributes are so high, there's really no need for that much in Constitution. I should consider a reset and reallocate those points evenly to Wisdom and Spirit. That would maximize the combat effectiveness of my summoned creatures.
