Chapter 448: Godhead
"Please, Lord Beast God, save me!" Long Zun knelt prostrate on the ground, his gaze devout.
At this moment, his physical body was already destroyed; though his soul was strong, it would sooner or later perish.
That ghostly phantom in the air was vastly different from the ghost Chen Fan had seen just moments ago.
Rather than calling it a ghost, its form was actually closer to that of a human.
"You have served our race with unwavering loyalty and have made many contributions, so you may be granted the status of our race."
After the phantom in the air finished speaking, it slowly raised a hand and pointed a finger at the center of Long Zun's soul's brow, and gray Ghost Ions slowly injected into Long Zun's soul.
Long Zun wore a look of joy, trembling all over with excitement.
His soul was actually transforming toward a ghost under the influence of the Ghost Ions.
Chen Fan watched this scene, his heart shaken violently.
A human soul could actually be transformed into a ghost!
No wonder the Beast Worship Cult was so devoted to working for the Ghost Race; it turned out their ultimate destination was to become members of the Ghost Race!
The process of transforming into a ghost was fast, taking only a short ten seconds.
Chen Fan had been observing this scene the entire time and did not interrupt.
Although the Beast God phantom before him was strong, it was ultimately just a phantom, and Chen Fan was not afraid.
At this time, the Beast God turned back to gaze at the Soul Suppressing Bell, seemingly reminiscing: "Soul Suppressing Bell, hmm, I have some impression of it; in the previous epoch, I defeated its master. I didn't expect this item to fall into your hands."
The Beast God's expression showed neither joy nor anger; he remained unmoved, as if the Chen Fan before him were an ant he could manipulate at will, without needing to invest any emotion.
"Your physical body is quite good, emitting a fragrance that is intoxicating. Seizing your body to break through to the Martial God realm would definitely yield huge potential. Long Zun, this body shall be rewarded to you."
"Many thanks, Lord Beast God!" Long Zun was overjoyed.
"It's just a phantom; you don't think you can take me down, do you?" Chen Fan suddenly laughed.
"This phantom of mine indeed cannot take you down, but it will be soon. You only have three months of struggling time left. Three months later, our race will descend here in full force to wipe out the remnants of the Three-Eyed Clan in one fell swoop, and by the way... hehe... by the way, capture all the Martial Saints of your Human Race, including you!"
"What? Descending on Blue Star in three months!" Chen Fan's heart was shaken violently!
That the Beast God would speak of such important news so carelessly could only mean that the Ghost Race truly did not hold the Human Race and the Three-Eyed Blue Blood Race in their eyes!
No matter how well you prepare, it is absolutely impossible to reverse fate!
Chen Fan felt incredibly angry, yet inexplicably uneasy. What could he do in three months? He seemed unable to do anything. He might be able to advance to Martial Saint, but he would still be powerless against a Martial God.
"Then I'll start by beating this phantom of yours to death!" Chen Fan's murderous aura surged.
The Soul Suppressing Bell in his hand emitted powerful Mental Power, sweeping toward the Beast God phantom.
The Beast God's phantom instantly rippled, nearly shattering.
"Daring to make a move against a god, you have quite some nerve. Enjoy your final moments, young human."
The Beast God phantom let out a cold snort and instantly flew into the sea, taking Long Zun and the ghost named Dai with him.
Chen Fan could not block them, nor could he keep them!
"Master, you must improve your strength as quickly as possible, otherwise, when the Ghost Race descends on Blue Star, it will be a total catastrophe for the entire Human Race!" Guifuzi said cautiously.
"I know! With three months, I will do my best to charge toward the next realm."
Chen Fan sighed and looked at Long Zun's corpse; when he pierced Long Zun's skull, he clearly felt a hard object inside.
Chen Fan shattered the skull and took out a crystal the size of an egg.
After observing it carefully, he was immediately filled with disbelief.
"This... how could this be a miniature Space Spirit Stone!" Chen Fan was extremely astonished.
The crystal in his hand was quite a bit smaller than the one Long Zun had taken from the United States treasury, but it contained spatial fluctuations; it was definitely a Space Spirit Stone!
He felt deeply incredulous; how could there be a Space Spirit Stone inside Long Zun's brain!?
"Master, this is not a Space Spirit Stone, this is a Godhead!" Guifuzi exclaimed repeatedly.
"Godhead? What is that?" Chen Fan asked curiously.
"After an Ability User advances to Martial God, their Sea of Consciousness will solidify into a crystal; this is a Godhead! But a Godhead usually disintegrates on its own upon the death of the Ability User. Yet this Space Godhead in your hand is completely intact; this is too incredible!" Guifuzi's eyes were wide with shock.
"A Martial God's Godhead? Then how could it be inside Long Zun's skull?" Chen Fan was even more astonished.
"Master, I have thought of a possibility! The Ghost Race must possess the ability to extract a Martial God's Godhead, and Long Zun was not an Space Ability user at all; he was simply implanted with this Space Godhead by the Beast Worship Cult, which is why he could use Space Ability!" Guifuzi tried to explain.
Chen Fan widened his eyes; Guifuzi's idea was too incredible, but only this hypothesis could explain everything he had just seen.
"Is there anything in this world the Ghost Race cannot do?" Chen Fan felt his scalp tingle. The notorious Long Zun, who had shaken Blue Star, turned out to be nothing more than a pawn cultivated by the Ghost Race.
He finally understood why the Beast God was so calm; because whether it was the Three-Eyed Blue Blood Race or the Human Race, they were nothing more than livestock raised by them!
They could be harvested at any time!
"Sigh!" Chen Fan sighed in his heart.
Guifuzi saw Chen Fan's frustration and hurriedly said: "Master! Don't think too much. Becoming stronger is the only way. As long as you are strong enough, you will definitely be able to topple the Ghost Race."
"And this Godhead is definitely a good thing. With this item, your Space Ability will definitely undergo a qualitative leap! You will be able to possess the strength Long Zun had immediately, or even stronger, because you are an Space Ability user yourself!"
"How do I use this?" Chen Fan looked at the Space Godhead before him, eager to try.
"I don't know either. Perhaps place it against your brow and use your Mental Power to guide it into your Sea of Consciousness?" Guifuzi suggested.
"I'll try!" Chen Fan made a prompt decision and placed the Space Godhead against his brow, yet nothing happened.
"This... it doesn't work!" Chen Fan was annoyed!
However, the next moment, the system's notification sound suddenly rang out.
"System has detected the existence of a Space Godhead. Does the host wish to absorb it?"
"What?" Chen Fan was startled. The system had actually appeared, and it wanted to help him absorb the Space Godhead?
"Since when has the system been this kind?" He had no time to overthink and hurriedly agreed.
The next moment, the Space Godhead immediately decomposed into glowing white light, drilling into his brow and finally appearing in his Sea of Consciousness.
This Space Godhead, along with the Soul Suppressing Bell and the Chaos Golden Book, settled in his Sea of Consciousness in a triangular formation.
"Is it really possible?" Chen Fan was incomparably pleasantly surprised.
But when his gaze fell upon the value of the Killing Points, he could not help but be stunned.
The over one billion Killing Points he had originally accumulated had actually been wiped clean!
"This... could this be the price?" Chen Fan was not angry; instead, he felt it was incomparably reasonable.
At the same time, countless understandings regarding the Space Ability dissipated from the Space Godhead and surged madly into Chen Fan's Sea of Consciousness.
