With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

As he realized this, Lin Fan couldn’t help feeling more and more excited as he asked, “Does that mean that if I absorb the black flames, I’ll be able to use them in the future?”

The system didn’t respond this time, but Lin Fan took this silence as silent affirmation.𝒪𝓋𝓁𝒩xt.𝑐𝒪𝑚

So without any hesitation, Lin Fan went over to the black flames and started using his cultivation technique to absorb them.

The black flames were sucked up by him and soon they made their way into his dantian. It took up a section of his dantian separate from the Clear Water Bead and soon there was a little ball of black flames that was floating there.

Inducing it like he did with the Clear Water Bead, he found that he was able to create a flame at the tip of his fingers. However, that was the limit of what he could do with just this small ball of black flames in his dantian.

No matter how he tried drawing it out, there weren’t any more flames that would come out.

It was completely unlike Ming Ze who had covered himself in these flames previously.

But there was nothing that he could do since there were no more black flames for him to absorb. He had absorbed all of the black flames in the surrounding area.

It was at this moment that the system chose to chime in again.

“Host, you can absorb the Hell Flame Seed from individual ‘Ming Ze’s’ body. That will allow you to create large amounts of Hell Flames at will.”

Lin Fan couldn’t help turning to Ming Ze’s corpse on the ground when he heard this.

Taking something from a corpse like this was something that he had done with spirit beast corpses, but this was a human corpse. He had taken items from human corpses, but for something like the Hell Flame Seed, it was surely inside of Ming Ze’s body…

But after thinking about it, he still decided to take it.

He needed power to protect the people that he cared about, this was the lesson that he had learned after being almost killed by the Foundation Realm Cultivator last time.

So he would take whatever kind of power that he could get, even if it meant crossing a certain line.

So he took his sword and cut open Ming Ze’s chest to reveal the dark seed that was inside of him.

After hesitating a bit, he cut out the seed and then asked the system how to use it.

Following the instructions of the system, he held the Hell Flame Seed in his hand and absorbed it using his cultivation technique.

As he was absorbing, he noticed that something was off.

There was something that was coming into his mind, something that he had never seen before.

“Host, a fragment of the individual ‘Ming Ze’s’ soul was still inside of the Hell Flame Seed. It is currently being absorbed by the host.”

Lin Fan couldn’t help panicking when he heard this because he had read about these kinds of things in novels. When things like this happened, it would normally result in the soul fragment attacking the host soul and trying to take over the body.

But the system said, “Host, please don’t let your imagination run wild. This soul fragment is unconscious and only contains a few memories. It will not do anything like trying to take over your soul.”

Then after a pause, Lin Fan almost thought he heard the system mutter under its breath if it had one, “The host has clearly read too many novels.”

Lin Fan couldn’t stop three black lines from appearing on his forehead as he said, “System, it’s clear that you’re speaking much more fluently n…”

Before he could finish, he felt a strong exhausted feeling come over him and he couldn’t help closing his eyes. He fell deep into his own consciousness, or rather he fell deep into the memories that came into his mind from the soul fragment.

The memories that came into his mind were fragmented, but he was able to make out a few things.

These memories were related to the biggest regret that Ming Ze had, his little sister.

The reason why Ming Ze had suddenly agreed to work with the Yong Family on their project was because his little sister had suddenly gotten sick. It was an illness that couldn’t be cured by anyone that he knew, so he became desperate.

When he heard rumours that the Yong Family was researching something new, something that could possibly help him cure his little sister, he chose to work with them.

Even though he was disgusted when he found out what they were doing, he still had no choice but to cooperate with them because it was his only choice.

When he found out about the regeneration properties of the creature that Feng Yu Ze brought back, he was filled with excitement because that was a sign that their experiments were close to succeeding.

The main reason why the Yong Family had wanted to do these experiments in the first place was because they wanted to live forever.

They couldn’t cultivate because of the restrictions on their family, so they wanted to find immortality another way. They had found some things in the ruins that they had sent people to and that had given them that new path.

Genetic experimentation!

When Ming Ze learned of this, he immediately volunteered for the experiment himself and got these augmentations to his body in hopes of finding the cure to his little sister’s illness sooner.

But in the end, it was all ruined by Lin Fan.

After Lin Fan learned all of this, while he didn’t feel sorry for Ming Ze for the fate that he received, he did feel sorry for Ming Ze’s little sister. She didn’t know anything about what he did for her and she would have no one else left after he died. It was certain that with her illness, she would die without Ming Ze’s support.

She was just a victim in all of this.

So it wasn’t fair for her to die because of Ming Ze’s mistake.

Not to mention that Lin Fan owed Ming Ze for this Hell Flame Seed…

So he couldn’t just let her die.

After seeing all of Ming Ze’s memories, he said to himself, “I’ll take care of your little sister for you. I don’t know if I can cure her, but I’ll do what I can.”

He didn’t know if he was just hearing things, but he heard a faint whisper that sounded like Ming Ze’s voice saying, “Thank you.”

The rest of the process of absorbing the Hell Flame Seed went very smoothly and soon there was a strong flame that appeared in Lin Fan’s dantian where the small black flame used to be.

When he opened his eyes again, with a thought, Lin Fan was able to summon black flames that surrounded him just like they had done for Ming Ze. However, unlike Ming Ze, he had perfect control over these flames and they didn’t burn him like they had done with Ming Ze.

After all, he perfectly integrated the Hell Flame Seed into his dantian while Ming Ze was forcefully drawing out the power of the Hell Flames.

Tian Xue who had been silently watching on the side saw that Lin Fan was finally done with whatever he was doing and slowly came over to ask, “All done?”

Lin Fan nodded before taking out the pendant and asking, “Do you know about Ming Ze’s little sister?”

Tian Xue was caught off guard by Lin Fan’s sudden question, but she still gave a nod in the end and said, “I’ve heard some things about her. Why?”

Lin Fan was about to say something, but then he suddenly remembered that there was a more pressing matter to deal with.

The creature that was heading towards the village!

He hadn’t heard anything about it being defeated during this entire time, so he was worried that the expert that the owner of the bar brought wasn’t able to defeat it.

If that was the case, he had to take care of it before it could reach the village.

So he waved his hand at the Flying Feather Organization members on the side for them to come over and he asked them to contact the owner of the bar to learn about the situation.

But before they could use the Thousand Mile Voice Transmission Talisman to contact the owner of the bar, there was a sudden boom that rang out in the distance.

Both Lin Fan and Tian Xue immediately turned in the direction that the sound came from. As soon as they looked in that direction, they immediately knitted their brows.

That was because that was the direction that the village was in.

Could it be that something had happened in the village?

Without waiting for the Flying Feather Organization member to reach the owner of the bar, both Lin Fan and Tian Xue immediately headed out. They were both heading in the direction of the village because they were afraid that something had happened.

Tian Xue had recovered a bit during Lin Fan’s fight, so she was able to move at her normal speed, but even then, she still couldn’t keep up with Lin Fan.

She couldn’t help revealing a bitter smile as she watched his back getting further and further away and thinking to herself, “Just how strong has he gotten?”

At the same time, she also couldn’t help thinking to herself, “He’s gotten much more reliable now…”

When she thought of how he had carried her in his arms, her face was covered in a blush once again.

Lin Fan quickly moved through the forest, not holding back his speed at all. However, it didn’t take long before he saw something strange.

The trees in front of him had disappeared and there was a large clearing that was there.

He didn’t remember this clearing being there before, so where did it come from?

Could it be that it was formed from the expert the owner of the bar invited fighting the creature?

If that was the case, could the creature still be here?

As this thought passed through his mind, he quickly dashed out of the trees and into the clearing, looking for any signs. However, when he came out of the trees, he was shocked by what he had found.

There was the creature lying broken on the ground right in the center of this clearing.

There were no signs of anyone else here at all.

There weren’t even any signs that there had been a fight here, there was only the corpse of the creature left behind.

What had happened here?
