Chapter 884, Searching for the Darkness Ancient God
Translator: Silavin
As they spoke, Jin Zhan and Lu Fan had already returned to the Far North’s frontlines.
Indeed, the walls and fortifications had been destroyed, but fortunately casualties were not too severe.
Many people were actively working hard to rebuild the walls. Jin Zhan also went with them.
Because while the Fallen Corpse Ancient God temporarily had not sent Fallen Corpse Puppets to continue attacking Dragon Country, most likely to continue accumulating strength, who could guarantee that in the future, when the Fallen Corpse Ancient God was even closer to awakening, it would not send Fallen Corpse Puppets to make a comeback?
Therefore, taking precautions was not being overly cautious.
Heaven knew how long it would be before the Fallen Corpse Puppets’ Monster Tide attacked again?
After his battle with the Fallen Corpse Ancient God, Lu Fan himself had not been injured.
However, to escape from the Fallen Corpse Ancient God’s grasp, he still had to pay a certain price.
Facing the Fallen Corpse Ancient God’s palm strike at that time, with both the Devouring Dragon King and himself were greatly suppressed. Lu Fan’s only means of escape had been to place an Abyssal Node before himself, let the Abyssal Node swallow him, then summon a Projection to take his place.
After entering the Abyssal Space, Lu Fan knew that under the Fallen Corpse Ancient God’s strike, the Abyssal Node would be instantly shattered, and he and the Devouring Dragon King would be expelled from the Abyssal Space.
At that time, if the Fallen Corpse Ancient God struck again, he would absolutely have no chance of survival whatsoever.
Fortunately, the Devouring Dragon King had been quick, casting her Starry Space Passage Skill in time. She simultaneously transported herself and Lu Fan out of the Abyssal Space to a safe location several kilometres away.
Whether the Fallen Corpse Ancient God knew or not that what it had shattered were merely Lu Fan and the Devouring Dragon King’s Projections, along with an Abyssal Node, was unknown.
In any case, the Fallen Corpse Ancient God had not pursued them. This was why Lu Fan could chat and laugh with Jin Zhan.
If the Fallen Corpse Ancient God had been pursuing them from behind, Lu Fan would probably have fled with the Devouring Dragon King long ago. How could he have spared any thought for Jin Zhan?
As it now appeared, the Fallen Corpse Ancient God was indeed absurdly powerful.
But it truly had not fully awakened either.
Presumably, it could not strike too many times.
Its earlier attempt to kill Lu Fan and the Devouring Dragon King had probably considerably delayed its awakening.
In this way, Lu Fan had not only killed the Blood Moon’s Owner but also bought Dragon Country considerable time. His contributions were massive.
This trip to the Far North had brought Lu Fan abundant rewards.
The Blood Moon’s Owner had provided him with massive Experience Points, leaving him just one step away from his Fifth Profession Change.
From this perspective, if he could kill another Ancient God and seize its Divine Seat, he should be able to undergo his Fifth Profession Change.
It had to be said that Fifth Profession Change did not require a Profession Change Hall.
Lu Fan had previously discussed with Jin Zhan that to pass one’s Fifth Profession Change, the Profession Change Array could not help much.
As long as one’s Level reached 120, a Player could undergo their Fifth Profession Change.
The price to pay was that the World Mechanics would issue the Player a Mission.
Complete the Mission, and one could undergo their Fifth Profession Change.
This saved Lu Fan a lot of trouble. He did not need to bother Ouyang Bai Ge anymore.
Currently, Lu Fan has made achieving his Fifth Profession Change as quickly as possible his primary goal.
At the same time, he remained constantly prepared for any developments from Jin Zhan’s side that might provide him with the whereabouts of some unawakened Ancient Gods.
Before that, Lu Fan still had one Ancient God to kill: the Darkness Ancient God who had once sought out the Devouring Dragon King.
Such that there was an unawakened Ancient God on the platter, how could Lu Fan possibly pass it up?
After recuperating at the Far North’s frontlines for about a week, Lu Fan’s Ancient God Power finally recovered, once again granting him the ability to use Dive Into The Abyss.
Meanwhile, on Elder Jin and Elder Han’s end, there had been no further progress. Therefore, Lu Fan decided to first seek out the Darkness Ancient God first, using it to enable his Fifth Profession Change while also seizing the first Ancient God Divine Seat for Dragon Country.
The best candidate to inherit this Ancient God’s Divine Seat was naturally Jin Zhan.
Originally, the Ancient God Divine Seat should ideally be given to Elder Jin.
Because Elder Jin was Dragon Country’s strongest individual, having him inherit the Divine Seat would strengthen Dragon Country considerably.
However, Elder Jin was currently still in meetings and simply could not get away. Jin Zhan was the only one who could join Lu Fan in hunting Ancient Gods.
Moreover, the Far North’s frontlines was now no longer particularly demanding either. Tu Jing could oversee it.
Jin Zhan thus accompanied Lu Fan to the Darkness Ancient God’s location.
The Devouring Dragon King revealed where she had encountered the Darkness Ancient God, which surprised Lu Fan greatly.
Because the Darkness Ancient God was actually hiding in Feather Country, in Feather Country’s Blood Basin, no less.
Feather Country’s Blood Basin, much like Dragon Country’s Western Border, was also a Forbidden Area.
Ordinary people might not know, but in reality, many of Feather Country’s Ancient Families lay dormant within the Blood Basin.
Among them was even Andrei’s Family.
Andrei’s Family wasn’t the most powerful Family in the Blood Basin, but neither was it the weakest.
If one were to make a comparison, it would be equivalent to Dragon Country’s Second Tier Ancient Noble Families.
There were many Families more powerful than the Kodiak, but these Families had no interest in controlling national power. That was why Andrei’s Family wielded considerable authority.
Since the Darkness Ancient God was in Feather Country’s Blood Basin, this actually made things easier.
Lu Fan directly contacted his old friend Andrei and informed him of his goals.
Learning that there was suspected to be an Ancient God in the Blood Basin, Andrei was immediately shocked.
Because all of his Kodiak Family’s true experts lay within the Blood Basin.
If the Ancient God here made any moves and unleashed a cataclysmic invasion like those in Dragon Country or Star Strip Country occurred, wouldn’t their Kodiak Family be instantly annihilated?
Therefore, Andrei warmly welcomed Lu Fan’s arrival.
It just so happened that the two had a good relationship but had not seen each other for quite some time.
Now that there was an opportunity to meet and share drinks, that was good too.
Thus, Andrei took full responsibility, proactively having his Family help Lu Fan and Jin Zhan handle all the entry and exit procedures.
Legal border crossing actually held no meaning for people at Lu Fan and Jin Zhan’s level.
Because ‘law’ as a concept could no longer constrain them whatsoever.
Previously, Ye Wuxian had easily crossed Extremistis Country’s borders. How much more so could the two of them, whose strength was even greater?
However, because Feather Country and Dragon Country had good relations, Lu Fan and Jin Zhan didn’t intend to act too excessively. They still wanted to follow the rules somewhat.
Therefore, the two men waited for Andrei for two days. Once everything was properly prepared, only then did they set out for Feather Country.
Dragon Country and Feather Country shared a border. Lu Fan and Jin Zhan took a Transport Array and quickly arrived at the junction of the two countries, then boarded a regular, legal flight into Feather Country’s territory.
