Chapter 3473: Drawbacks

"You… what do you mean?!" Xiao Fan was taken aback upon hearing this.

"Hehehe… I was worried that this Godhead might have some issues, so I was just helping you check it…" the star chart chuckled.

"Hehehe… do you think I'd believe that? Are you planning to keep it for yourself?" Xiao Fan sneered.

Keeping things for itself was not something the star chart had done only once or twice.

"Kid, how can you say that about me?!" The star chart was annoyed and embarrassed. Being seen through by Xiao Fan made it feel very displeased.

"Hehehe… do you think I don't know what kind of character you have?" Xiao Fan sneered.

"Alright, enough. Tell me, what exactly is going on with this Godhead…" Xiao Fan was very curious as to why the star chart had previously told him not to provoke the Huai Family, and why it had just mentioned an evil Bloodline.

"Sigh… I'll tell you. The Ancestor of the Huai Family line was not simple. Their clan's Godhead is Heaven-Defying and possesses the power of devouring. This ability is too Heaven-Defying… When the Huai Family's Godhead reaches Level 3, it can devour the Bloodline of their own kin. And when the Godhead reaches Level 2, it can devour the spiritual energy of others to strengthen itself…"

"What? Level 2… You mean this Godhead can devour others to strengthen itself?!" Xiao Fan was shocked.

"Yes, the Godhead in your hand is a Level 2 Godhead. It can already devour the spiritual energy of others to strengthen itself…" the star chart said with certainty.

"However, there are many drawbacks to devouring the spiritual energy of others to strengthen oneself…"

"Drawbacks? What kind of drawbacks?!" Xiao Fan asked curiously.

"Hehehe… the Huai Family's Bloodline is evil. The more people you devour, the more Evil Qi and evil thoughts you will accumulate. If you cannot resolve this evil, you may eventually become corrupted, or even lose your original consciousness. Do you understand what that means? It means… you might end up not being yourself anymore!"

Hearing the star chart's words, Xiao Fan's expression instantly became vigilant.

Losing oneself—the level of evil in this Godhead far exceeded his imagination.

"The Ancestor of the Huai Family… what kind of person was he?!" Xiao Fan asked.

"A powerful figure in the Divine Domain. It was because of this Heaven-Defying ability that he was feared by the Upper Realm of the Divine Domain… and subsequently killed. Before he died, he left behind a vicious curse… that whoever destroyed the Huai Family's Bloodline would see their own Bloodline wither away… That is why the Huai Family line was preserved."

"However, although the Huai Family line was preserved, there were rarely any Prodigies with a Level 3 Godhead within the clan afterward. So… this special ability, as time passed, might not even be known to the Huai Family members themselves… Of course, the Huai Family might have left behind some ancient steles or documents; I am not clear on the specifics."

"This… I see." Xiao Fan nodded.

No wonder Xiao Fan had never heard of the Huai Family possessing any Heaven-Defying Godhead.

It turned out that so much time had passed that perhaps even the Huai Family members didn't know about it.

Huai Yushu was a rare Prodigy of the Huai Family, and it was only at Shijue Academy that it was discovered he had a Level 3 Godhead.

"So… the Ancestor of the Huai Family might be a Level 3 Godhead, it's just that no one knows about it…" Xiao Fan muttered, suddenly having a bold hypothesis.

The Ancestor of the Huai Family was a Level 3 Godhead, so he mastered the power of devouring. Then, after countless years, Huai Yushu, who possessed the same Godhead, was born…

Therefore, Xiao Fan speculated whether, at that time, the Ancestor of the Huai Family had devoured Huai Yushu's Godhead to become a Level 2 Godhead, gaining the ability to devour the spiritual energy of others!

"So that's it… No wonder that old dog from the Huai Family became so arrogant after reaching the Heavenly Saint Realm… He thought that by possessing a Level 2 Godhead, he could devour others, which gave him confidence?" Xiao Fan muttered, having figured out the reason.

"Kid, I've told you… this Godhead is very dangerous. It's easy for you to lose control of it. Give it to me…"

"Get lost. I'm not giving it to you. I almost lost my life for it, how could I give it to you?" Xiao Fan retorted sharply.

"You, you, you… Kid, don't go too far!"

"How am I going too far? Isn't what I said the truth?!" Xiao Fan bared his teeth in anger.

"Damn it… don't blame me for not warning you. You need to be careful when using this Godhead. Don't let anything go wrong, understand?"

The star chart reminded him. Xiao Fan had finally reached this step in the Divine Domain, and it did not want anything to happen to him.

"Hehehe… don't worry. It's just a tiny Godhead; what can it possibly do to me?" Xiao Fan said indifferently.
