Chapter 236: Heart of Hearts 3
Chapter 236: Heart of Hearts 3
"Sonny..."
Fang Xing toyed with the sacrificial vessel, a broken candle holder, his fingers tracing the solar crown pattern on its surface, "Do you know the origin of these sacrificial tools?"
He had expected to receive the black cloth as before.
But to his surprise, there was an unexpected discovery.
Moreover, those fragments of stone tablets were not ordinary; they gave him a sense of the 'Creation Slate'.
This indirectly confirmed Fang Xing's previous speculation.
The evil god world he had visited earlier was highly suspected to exist in this universe, and its origin might even be an already fallen extra-universal evil god!
"I don't know..."
Sonny shook his head, his clear eyes revealing foolishness.
"Never mind."
Fang Xing waved his hand and put away these items, planning to give them to his true self later. He would feed them to the Gates of Many Worlds and burn the rest in the 'Great Sun Furnace'.
"Your loyalty to the sect is very satisfying to me."
He lifted his hand, and a black suitcase landed on the table: "This is your activity fund. Reconnect the lost network."
"Ac...activity fund?"
Sonny felt a sudden urge to shed tears of joy.
When would there be funds for evil god followers?
Shouldn't they be bewitched, no, be summoned, and then offer their wealth, lives, and even their children and families to the god?
"You shouldn't be so foolish as to use them directly. Well, I'm leaving now."
Fang Xing waved his hand and, after admonishing the importance of money laundering, his figure vanished instantly.
Sonny was stunned and quickly bowed in respect. Then he opened the black suitcase.
The neatly stacked stacks of Star Essence, emitting a unique ink fragrance, were almost too much for him to bear...
...
Not far away.
Fang Xing held an 'Invisibility Charm' and sighed:
"Alas... including Sonny, three out of the nine 'disciples' have been lured by other sects, one is an informant for the Police Department, and the others are from various strange agencies and factions, or giant corporations in the Federation..."
"I said... after the last incident and the Bluesphere's great purge, how could there still be so many evil god followers? It turns out they were all bait..."
Unfortunately, no matter how advanced the disguise technology is, in the face of the soul-searching techniques of the cultivation world, everything is revealed.
Even one's own 'confession' is unknown to oneself.
Among them, Sonny was the most 'clean'.
For those with multiple salaries, Fang Xing did not lavishly throw a suitcase of money at them. Instead, he took away their resources and let them work on their own.
"According to the memory of the leader of the Sect of the Gate, there's still one last chess piece on Bluesphere..."
As for the branches on other planets, they were truly beyond his control.
Fang Xing planned to use his advantage as the boss and let his subordinates handle it themselves.
Undoubtedly, these multi-faced spies would be very diligent.
'Hmm? I seem to have found a blind spot... these multi-faced spies can work without a salary, or even with their own provisions...'
'Furthermore, each of them will strive to get closer to me... to eventually betray me.'
'What kind of broken organization is this? The boss prepares to betray his subordinates, and the subordinates prepare to betray the boss?'
'Oh? It's my organization? Then it's fine.'
...
Fang Xing arrived at an underground bar.
Before entering, he couldn't imagine that such a place existed on the highly developed Bluesphere.
The surrounding environment was untidy, and several disabled drunkards lay on the ground.
Despite their disabilities, drunkenness, or madness, they were all Four Realms Professionals.
The alley was dimly lit, and even the surveillance seemed to be broken.
As he stepped into the bar, he smelled a strong scent of psychoactive drugs.
'Drugs that can induce a Four Realms Professional into a state of psychoactive intoxication... shouldn't these be controlled substances?'
Fang Xing cursed inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged. He entered the bar and saw several colorful lights flashing in mid-air above the dance floor.
Several scantily clad women were wildly twisting their bodies.
Some of their movements had clearly exceeded human limits.
Moreover, they seemed to be performing a 'sacred dance'.
Decadent and extravagant...
"Where there is light, there is darkness... Darkness may temporarily retreat, but shadows and gray areas will always exist..."
"Is this Bluesphere's 'trash can'?"
Fang Xing muttered to himself.
"Sir, what can I get you? We have the latest batch of Dragon Tongue Wine..."
A waiter approached.
Dressed in a black tailcoat, he was impeccably groomed and handsome: "Or... I can provide you with another 'me' to serve you."
"Hmm?"
Fang Xing's face showed confusion.
"I'm a special ability user... with the power to switch genders."
The waiter smiled.
"Whoa..."
Fang Xing gasped, "You're incredible... But give me a private room, I'm here for Heart of Hearts 3!"
"Of course."
The waiter smiled, "Do you want the Imperial Suite?"
"No, a regular one will do."
Fang Xing pulled out a stack of star essence.
When out and about, he always used cash for entertainment.
If this identity, which the Master of the Gate Sect had obtained with great difficulty, were to attract the attention of the police due to some inexplicable reason, it would be utterly ridiculous.
...
The private room in the bar was quiet.
After closing the door, all sounds from the outside world disappeared.
However, Fang Xing had no trust in the owner of this place. He scanned the room with his spirit sense but found no surveillance equipment.
He then produced several small flags and casually waved them, causing them to disappear into the four walls.
Instantly, Fang Xing formed a hand seal, and a layer of hazy gray mist appeared, enveloping the entire room.
The gray mist then vanished into the walls, disappearing from sight.
After a few minutes, the door to the private room opened, and a young girl entered.
She had an innocent appearance, like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl next door.
But on her cheeks was a 'Heart of Hearts 3' sticker, and she wore purple eyeshadow and lipstick, giving her a rebellious air.
The most striking feature, however, was her body, which had undergone several mechanical modifications, as evident by the metal components on her arms and thighs.
'Some people have such peculiar tastes, preferring mechanical maidens over the cuteness of beast ears and tails.' Fang Xing thought to himself as he waved his hand, causing the door to slam shut.
Then, he uttered a different incantation from the one he had used to subdue Sonny.
The 'Heart of Hearts 3' girl's expression changed instantly, and she looked Fang Xing up and down, "Are you the chosen heir of the old man? No, has he succeeded in possessing you?"
"How dare you! Is that how you address the Sect Leader?"
Fang Xing snorted coldly, but his heart stirred.
This 'Heart of Hearts 3' seemed to know many secrets, and she was the most important person in the memories of the Master of the Gate Sect.
It was no wonder he had left her for last.
"The Master of the Gate Sect?"
'Heart of Hearts 3' suddenly took a few steps forward, and her delicate, petite nose sniffed at Fang Xing, "A strong aura of an overlord... But compared to the Master of the Gate Sect, I feel like you're more like the Pope of the Sun Worship Sect."
"Sun Worship Sect?"
Fang Xing searched his memories and quickly found the relevant information.
Although he had killed the Master of the Gate Sect and devoured much of his information, most of it was merely 'stored' and needed to be searched for using 'key information' when required.
The Sun Worship Sect was a small demon god sect that had been extinct for several hundred years.
However, in the memories of the Master of the Gate Sect, there was still some impression of it.
Because... some fanatical followers of the Gate Sect had once claimed that the Gate of Void had killed an unknown overlord worshipped by the Sun Worship Sect.
The true name of an overlord held power. Even the names of extinct overlords had a certain corrupting influence and could even resurrect them! Therefore, not even the Master of the Gate Sect knew the name of the overlord worshipped by the Sun Worship Sect.
The Master of the Gate Sect had even gone to great lengths to erase that overlord's name from various records and history! Now it seemed that the cloth with the Great Sun Secret Mantra and the golden candlestick might have originated from that fallen overlord.
'Among the overlords, there is indeed chaos, and they even kill each other...'
'Did the Gate of Void kill that overlord and even gain control over a portion of his 'sun' authority?'
Fang Xing felt that the overlord of the Gate of Void might be even more terrifying than the Moon God!
"The Great Sun now belongs to my master," Fang Xing said, speaking with the air of a charlatan.
"Yes... The Gate of Void is, after all, one of the 'pillars'..."
'Heart of Hearts 3' lowered her voice and then looked at Fang Xing, "You're not him, it seems the Sect Leader's final plan has failed..."
She seemed to know a lot about the Master of the Gate Sect.
And... this didn't seem like a subordinate.
"A trap?!" Fang Xing's heart raced, "Did the Master of the Gate Sect set up a trap in his own memories, creating a false narrative for himself?"
'Damn, fortunately, this technique seems to require a high level of skill. Otherwise, those nine disciples might have fooled me today...'
"Who are you?" Fang Xing asked as the Ten Thousand Dharmas Demonic Infant in his Dantian suddenly opened its eyes. The Great Sun rotated between his eyebrows, and its crimson gaze also fell upon 'Heart of Hearts 3'.
'Heart of Hearts 3' revealed a mysterious smile, "I'm just an ordinary demon god follower... I worship the Gate of Void and also believe in another great existence."
"Impossible! Faith in only one!"
Fang Xing shook his head. Even those demon god followers who had been turned had simply transferred their faith from the Gate of Void to other extradimensional demon gods.
He had never heard of anyone being able to worship two extradimensional demon gods simultaneously and remain unharmed.
"Of course, it's not possible with two overlords... But all overlords originate from 'Him'... 'He' is the Father of All, encompassing everything."
'Heart of Hearts 3's' eyes became slightly dazed, "Although we failed in our last endeavor... we have already laid a good foundation, haven't we?"
