Chapter 342: Seize the Power of Legacy

"Ten billion units of energy are needed to exchange for just one unit of inheritance power. What’s left? What are you thinking?" Telin looked at Xiao Feng with disdain.

Xiao Feng blinked slightly, remembering every word he said.

Every word he said was crucial information.

Ten billion units of energy?

It must be the total energy output by the free laborers outside.

Once this number is reached, one person can receive the inheritance.

However, Xiao Feng was now in Billy’s identity.

From Telin’s words, it seemed he had already given up on him.

Immediately, Xiao Feng showed a look of disappointment, with a trace of unwillingness.

Seeing this, Telin turned his head and warned, "From now on, don’t come here anymore. This is the most important secret base of the Eagle Empire. Do you understand what I’m saying?"

"President!"

Xiao Feng pretended to struggle with the idea of being abandoned and said.

"As long as I repair my crystal nucleus, I will still be the Golden Paladin standing at the peak. Even if you create more inherited heroes, their combat experience is not rich, and their strength is still vulnerable!"

"Combat experience can be developed through practical training, but once your crystal nucleus is cracked, it can never be repaired!"

This was a fatal issue.

It was akin to how people were helpless against tumors in the peaceful era.

At this moment, the massive machine suddenly emitted a beeping alarm.

Looking over, he saw that a gauge on the machine had suddenly reached its maximum.

Seeing this, Telin became excited and said, "Another unit of inheritance power! Quickly arrange the next person to receive the inheritance in front of everyone!"

Xiao Feng watched the machine intently. At that moment, Telin suddenly turned his head.

Seeing Xiao Feng’s intense gaze, Telin immediately threatened him viciously, "Get out of here immediately, and don’t get any funny ideas. Did you hear me?"

"Someone, delete all information related to Billy from this lab and completely revoke his access!"

Telin shouted angrily at Xiao Feng.

Helpless, Xiao Feng had to leave.

At this moment, Xiao Feng had a bright idea and remembered the woman who successfully received the inheritance yesterday.

"If I’m not mistaken, the inheritance power is released from this machine into the hall and then given to a designated person to confuse others!"

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng quickened his pace and prepared to leave.

When he reached the hall again, Xiao Feng immediately used his soul sense to cover every corner.

The next moment, Xiao Feng noticed something unusual.

A black man was excitedly staring at a sculpture.

He seemed to be studying the sculpture, but in fact, his whole body was trembling with excitement.

Xiao Feng slowly moved closer, noticing a strong energy gathering above the man’s head.

"It’s inheritance power!"

Xiao Feng’s pupils shrank, and his muscles tensed, ready to act.

The next moment, the energy exploded.

Golden light poured down.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng leapt forward, pushing the black man aside.

The force was so strong that it knocked the man onto the stone platform.

The next moment, the golden light fell on Billy’s body.

Xiao Feng immediately received a prompt.

[Hint: Unknown energy detected. Absorb it?]

[Hint: The body does not match the soul. Choose to absorb with the body or the soul?]

"Absorb!"

"Soul absorption!"

Xiao Feng quickly told the system.

The next moment, the golden light bathed Billy’s body.

It was quickly absorbed by Xiao Feng.

From the outside, it looked like Billy absorbed the inheritance power, but in reality, it was Xiao Feng’s soul that absorbed it.

[Hint: Absorption complete!]

Hearing the system’s prompt, Xiao Feng immediately chose to leave Billy’s body with his soul.

Thud!

Billy’s body fell straight to the ground.

Xiao Feng’s soul floated out of the Hall of the Gods and returned to the hotel.

At this moment, in the Hall of the Gods, after the black man was pushed away, a large number of security personnel rushed over.

They were always monitoring every person ready for the inheritance, and today, an accident had occurred.

Soon, Telin arrived.

When he saw that Billy was the one causing trouble, his face darkened, and he ordered, "Take him away!"

Although Telin was angry, he wasn’t overly so.

After all, the inheritance power hadn’t been taken by an outsider but by Billy.

If Billy could return to his peak, the loss wouldn’t be so significant for Telin.

But what the healer said next plunged Telin into despair.

"President, Billy is dead!"

"What!"

Telin’s eyes widened in shock.

He rushed over in disbelief to check Billy’s vital signs.

After a thorough examination, Telin slumped to the ground.

"He’s really dead! What on earth happened?"

"Investigate! Immediately find out the cause of his death!" Telin angrily shouted at all the healers.

At this moment, those nearby watching the scene couldn’t help but feel a bit moved.

"Look at how much the President cares for Billy!"

Little did they know, Telin’s real concern was for that unit of inheritance power.

However, after a series of checks, the healers could not determine the cause of Billy’s death.

His soul had been crushed to death, which these foreigners couldn’t possibly detect.

Then, several healers exchanged glances and said to Telin;

"Mr. President, Billy’s crystal nucleus was already shattered. This time, he might have died from not being able to withstand the inheritance power."

This explanation seemed the most appropriate.

Sure enough, Telin nodded, accepting this conclusion.

Afterward, Telin left without looking back.

...

...

Meanwhile, in the hotel, Xiao Feng continued lying in bed, appearing to be asleep.

But at this moment, Xiao Feng’s eyes were already open.

Xiao Feng was communicating excitedly with the system.

"What exactly is this energy?"

[Hint: The system is analyzing!]

[Hint: According to the system’s analysis, this energy is a special kind of inheritance energy. You can think of it as a unique energy taken from a certain creature. The system has not yet identified the specific creature.]

"It seems this must be energy from those higher beings!" Xiao Feng nodded quietly.

"So, what harm does it cause to the human body if absorbed?"

[Hint: According to the analysis, this energy is suitable for human absorption, but the system does not recommend absorbing it.]

"Oh? Why not?" Xiao Feng asked, puzzled.

[Hint: If absorbed, this energy will enhance and boost your strength, and you may gain some abilities of the original energy possessor. However, it is a special energy. If the host allows the system to catalog it, the system can use this energy to create a template for the related species. Would you like to create a template?]

"A species template?" Xiao Feng was bewildered by the system’s series of prompts.

"Absorbing the energy to enhance strength is certain, and it might even grant some abilities of the original energy possessor, which is the so-called inheritance power!"

"But what does creating a related template mean?"

[Hint: Simply put, it uses these unique energies to expand the system’s functionalities, allowing the system to create a biological template. This function, once established, can be utilized by the host.]

Half understanding, Xiao Feng nodded. The energy was precious, but expanding the system’s functionalities seemed more important.

With this thought, Xiao Feng decisively said to the system,

"Then use it to expand the system’s functionalities and create the template function!"

[Hint: Understood!]

In the next moment, the inheritance power within Xiao Feng disappeared, absorbed entirely by the system.

[Hint: Please wait, the system is expanding... ]

Hearing this, Xiao Feng sat up and pretended to stretch lazily.

After all, there were cameras, and he couldn’t let them notice that Billy’s death coincided with his waking up.

Better safe than sorry, it’s always good to think a bit more.

At this moment, Xiao Feng suddenly thought of a term: definition.

What is a definition?

It’s assigning a description to an unknown entity.

For example, naming a person.

Could these higher beings be the creatures from human mythology that were defined by ancient stories?

Maybe they are just deified beings, but they actually exist in reality.

The energy transmission machine in the Eagle Empire is an ancient relic from fifty-five years ago, from a time when extraterrestrial species crash-landed here and left this device behind.

Could it be that even earlier, a thousand or ten thousand years ago, extraterrestrial species visited Earth?

Maybe they visited before, knew about Earth, and later returned, leaving behind the energy transmission machine.

Perhaps they left even more behind, now held by different countries.

For instance, the mythical dragon in China.

If the Chinese had never seen such a creature, why would the ancestors include it in the twelve zodiac signs?

Could it be that dragons existed but disappeared due to some reason?

Just like the characters in mythological stories, they once existed but vanished for some reason.

Maybe those extraterrestrial species from the Dimon Galaxy originated from Earth.

Or perhaps they visited Earth and told the indigenous people about their world, which the Earth inhabitants then deified, turning into myths and legends.

Xiao Feng’s ideas are not entirely impossible.

Now that the Dimon Galaxy’s extraterrestrial species have appeared, it’s not far-fetched to see characters from mythology come to life.

As Xiao Feng contemplated various possibilities, a system prompt sounded.

[Hint: System functionality expanded, species template function activated.]
