[Hint: The player is awakening the bloodline.]

[Hint: The player’s current bloodline awakening progress is 0.06%.]

[Hint: Due to the awakening of the player’s bloodline, the player gains 0.1 basic strength.]

Fang Heng suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at the stone pillar.

The stone pillar was still continuously releasing energy.

So that was the source of the energy...

Fang Heng observed the flow of energy with his perception.

Upon closer inspection, he saw that the stone pillar was inlaid with small fragments of crystal.

The energy was leaking from those crystal fragments.

It wasn’t much.

It could even be described as scarce.

Even if he absorbed it all alone, it would barely push the bloodline awakening progress to 10%.

Fang Heng closed his eyes again to continue absorbing the energy.

Over ten minutes later, the stone pillar stopped releasing energy.

Just as he had expected.

The energy in the crystal fragments was depleted, and his bloodline awakening progress rose to 3.42%, increasing his strength attribute by 1.6.

The surrounding players also opened their eyes one after another.

"Amazing! If I’d known it would boost my stats, I’d have been more eager!" Zaka felt the change in his physical strength and sighed in satisfaction. "This ancestor is reliable—I’m sold!"

Liu Haiyang said, "Mr. Fang Heng, the stone pillar should be the inheritance we were looking for. The energy bodies released from within can awaken our bloodlines. This energy gradually accumulates in the stone pillar over time. The Eastern Federation needs some time to analyze and test it."

"Alright, of course."

Although they had found the so-called legacy item, the improvement was still quite limited for him.

But for the human race as a whole, it might have opened up a new path toward bloodline power.

The researchers were all very excited.

A major discovery!

If they could really develop a method to fully awaken the bloodline, humanity’s overall strength would see a dramatic increase.

While the researchers discussed follow-up research plans and tried to determine whether the stone pillar could be transported back, Wayne noticed something in a mural near the edge of the stone pillar, squinted his eyes, and pointed to the dark fog nearby.

"What’s that? Black Fog?"

Li Zixuan walked to the stone wall and looked up at the mural, falling silent for a moment.

Fang Heng followed her, studying the details depicted in the artwork.

The painting was weathered, but many distinctive elements were still recognizable.

For example...

The Titan race.

The migration of the Ancient Humans...

The invasion of extraterrestrial life forms.

And... the spreading Black Fog...

Fang Heng turned to Li Zixuan and asked, "Is that the Black Fog Game? I remember Su Guantong mentioned it to me. He said there might be clues here about the truth behind the Black Fog Game."

"I’ll explain."

Liu Haiyang stepped up and said, "When we first started researching the ’Ancient Humans,’ we also found records related to the Black Fog Game. Though the data was collected a long time ago, it wasn’t until recent years that we managed to complete the translations and understand the content."

"Yes, just as you’re thinking, the Black Fog Game already existed in the time of the Ancient Humans. They even tried to control it."

Li Zixuan continued, "But then certain events occurred, leading the Ancient Humans to believe that the Black Fog Game was extremely dangerous. They tried to escape its influence."

Fang Heng asked, "What kind of danger?"

"Based on our translations, we understand that the Ancient Humans believed that upon first entering the Black Fog Game, players could gain special abilities, but participants would also unknowingly be affected and gradually become part of the game."

"They believed the Black Fog was devouring the world in a bizarre, ritual-like manner, slowly transforming the entire world into another form—one belonging to the Black Fog."

The group listened, puzzled.

What did it mean to become part of the game?

And what was that about transforming the world into a Black Fog form?

"The Ancient Humans believed that deep participation in the game would cause them to be assimilated into the Black Fog. They once tried to stop the spread of the Black Fog, but clearly, it wasn’t so easily contained."

Wayne asked, "Are you saying the migration of the Ancient Humans was related to the Black Fog Game?"

"Very likely," Liu Haiyang said grimly. "They believed that assimilation by the Black Fog Game was terrifying. We still don’t know whether we’ve already begun to be assimilated, but our world is clearly under threat."

"Supervisor Liu!"

A voice called out from behind, filled with excitement.

"Please come and take a look! We’ve found something!"

"Excuse me."

Liu Haiyang gave a quick nod and hurried to the deepest part of the cave to join the team of researchers.

Fang Heng and the others exchanged glances and followed him.

"We found it! We found it!"

Several researchers were shouting excitedly.

Liu Haiyang quickly went over to inspect the find, unable to hide the smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

Zaka, curious, asked, "What did you find?"

"The Eastern Federation once initiated the New Human Project. In fact, besides the records of the Ancient Humans, we’ve also discovered a small portion of Titan-related technology."

Li Zixuan came up to Fang Heng’s group and explained softly, "That includes the spacefaring vessel of the Titan race and their spatial warp technology."

"Huh?" Zaka was shocked. "You mean the Titan ship?"

"Yes, you could call it that."

Not far away, a researcher suddenly shouted, "Wreckage of the vessel! Everyone, come look!"

A group of researchers immediately gathered around him.

"It’s the propulsion system of the Titan ship! With this, there’s hope of solving several issues with warp propulsion!"

Liu Haiyang instructed the team to carefully handle the wreckage. Only after it was securely packed in a metal container did he return to Fang Heng’s group.

"Fang Heng, we’ve confirmed that we’ve found a part of the Titan ship. With this, along with the technology we obtained from the spawns’ starships, it’s only a matter of time before we develop spatial warp technology."

"We still don’t fully understand the dangers of the game, but the Eastern Federation is already making evacuation plans. If an uncontrollable danger arises, we will use the Titan ship to escort a group of people off the planet and completely break free from the Black Fog’s control."

"As for the rest..." Liu Haiyang paused, his eyes filled with fighting spirit. "We will stay behind and see what the Black Fog really is. If it tries to consume us, we’ll fight it with everything we have."

"I understand."

Fang Heng got the picture.

No wonder the Eastern Federation had been trying to infiltrate the Western Federation. What they truly needed was the spawn starship technology from the Western Federation.

"Fang Heng, we need your help. The spawn system allows access to high-tier materials. Many of them are essential for building the Titan ship. The Eastern Federation is willing to cooperate and exchange for those materials."

"Please trust in our sincerity. We’re ready to make deals."

"That’s worth considering."

Fang Heng stroked his chin.

Using the full strength of the Eastern Federation to help him grind spawn contribution points?

That sounded great!

So the next mission objective was clear.

Start using the ship for short-distance transitions, grind hard for spawn contribution points!

Get the points up, level up the ship enough for the Eastern Federation to develop the Titan warp vessel.

At the same time, search for missions related to the Seed of Ouroboros, and by devouring them, rapidly enhance the Licker swarm’s strength.

So...

Fang Heng looked around at the gathered players.

Time to start grinding!
