Chapter 85: Chapter 74: Under Specific Conditions, Deities Can Also Be Killed

As Kajimi spoke, Spiritual Power surged in their hands.

They drew a rune on the Treasure Chest in front of them that Fang Xiu couldn’t understand.

"This is the unlocking rune for ancient chests!"

Kajimi explained, knowing Fang Xiu wouldn’t understand.

Fang Xiu nodded slightly.

’I still don’t get it!’

But with Kajimi here, Fang Xiu wasn’t too concerned about whether he understood or not.

Soon, the rune was complete.

Fang Xiu had lost interest in how to kill Deities.

Besides the Bright God, there weren’t any other Deities that Fang Xiu particularly wanted to kill right now.

Even with the Bright God, it was merely dislike or disgust.

It hadn’t reached the point of wanting to slay a god.

At the moment, Fang Xiu was far more interested in what was inside this locked Treasure Chest.

"CLICK!"

As Kajimi finished drawing the rune,

a clicking sound came from inside the chest.

Then, a puff of black smoke wafted out from the seams of the chest.

Fang Xiu frowned slightly and gestured for Kajimi to step back.

He waited for the black smoke to dissipate.

As the smoke cleared, Fang Xiu could finally see what was inside the chest.

The top of the chest wasn’t a lid; the contents rose directly from the center.

It was a black crystal ball.

Fang Xiu looked at the crystal ball before him, which radiated a sinister aura.

"What is this?"

Fang Xiu’s brow furrowed.

Admittedly, the Evil Dragon Fafnir wasn’t exactly a benevolent deity.

But for him to send something so filled with a sinister aura...

...it left Fang Xiu at a bit of a loss.

Fortunately, in this world, the Awakened could at least see simple labels on things.

[Inheritance Crystal Ball: ???]

"What the hell?"

Fang Xiu realized this "simple label" was a little *too* simple.

There was only a name; the function and everything else were just question marks.

Still, he could infer a few things from the name.

"Inheritance Crystal Ball. Kajimi, have you heard of it?"

Fang Xiu had his own theories,

but he still asked Kajimi, who was beside him.

"Ah? Yes, I know about this!"

Kajimi was taken aback by the question.

They continued, "Legend says these Inheritance Crystal Balls were left behind by the Deities of the old era for the purpose of passing on legacies."

"For passing on legacies?"

Fang Xiu’s brow furrowed.

Fafnir himself is a deity.

It made perfect sense for him to possess an Inheritance Crystal Ball.

But to trade an Inheritance Crystal Ball as a reward for a set of Liu Bei... that didn’t seem to add up, did it?

"Yes. These Inheritance Crystal Balls are controlled only by the Deities. A single deity can control quite a few of them, since they can’t master every single legacy themselves!"

Kajimi explained.

’So there are a lot of them!’

Fang Xiu had originally thought that if a deity only left behind one Inheritance Crystal Ball, it would be an incredibly precious item.

He never expected that each deity would have many such crystal balls.

In that case, it seemed Fafnir must have thought it was a worthy trade for a set of Liu Bei.

Of course, Fang Xiu thought it was worth it, too.

"What’s inside this Inheritance Crystal Ball?"

Fang Xiu was a little curious.

"Hmm, sometimes it’s a Skill, or some combat experience. It could also contain stories about past events. In short... it’s a mixed bag!"

Kajimi said after a moment of thought.

Fang Xiu: ...

’So this thing is basically just a cassette tape or something.’

However, if it contained a legacy Skill,

that would be the best possible outcome for Fang Xiu.

After all, he had no desire to listen to the last words of some old-era deity.

That kind of thing wouldn’t offer him any tangible benefits.

"How do you activate the inheritance from this thing?"

Even if there were no tangible benefits, Fang Xiu still wanted to give it a try.

After all, it still presented an opportunity for him.

This was Fafnir’s "tremendous reward," after all.

Perhaps the Evil Dragon knew what was inside.

Even if he didn’t, Fang Xiu suspected the system did!

"You just have to place your hands on it, channel your Spiritual Power, and establish a connection with the crystal ball. Then you’ll receive all the inheritance within!"

Kajimi was quite familiar with these things.

Just placing your hands on it to receive the inheritance—it was very simple.

Hearing this, Fang Xiu closed his eyes and placed both hands on the Inheritance Crystal Ball.

He channeled his Spiritual Power.

Soon, Fang Xiu felt a faint connection to the Inheritance Crystal Ball.

And everything within it flooded into his mind.

"Hiss!"

The powerful surge of information

made Fang Xiu feel a wave of dizziness.

His vision went black.

When he opened his eyes again,

Fang Xiu found himself in a different space.

"Is this... the void?"

Fang Xiu looked around. Weren’t those flickering lights in the distance just stars?

Fang Xiu seemed to be floating in the void.

"Hehehe!"

Just then, a voice entered Fang Xiu’s mind.

Or maybe it was all around his body.

"Finally, someone has entered my Inheritance Crystal Ball!"

Before Fang Xiu could react,

the voice spoke again.

"Hm? You see a deity and you don’t even kneel? You’re not even going to say hello?"

Fang Xiu was just listening to the voice.

He had thought it was a "recording."

He never expected the voice to actually demand he greet it.

Could it be? Did the deity who left this Inheritance Crystal Ball know he was coming, and know all of this?
