“Thank you for your understanding.”

Fernando waved his hand and led his subordinate team into the headquarters of the Revolution Society for an inspection.

The Federation agents followed them inside to investigate as well.

Once in the hall, several personnel were left in bewilderment.

Goodness, the entire interior of the Revolution Society looked as if it had been ransacked.

And it had been done so thoroughly that nothing remained.

Every room was empty!

Soon, the members of the Occult Research Society and the Federation completed a thorough search of the Revolution Society headquarters.

In fact, there was really nothing for them to inspect.

They quickly swept through all the rooms but found nothing.

Naturally, there was no trace of the demonic seed either.

The Federation’s search yielded no results.

“Sir, we’ve conducted a thorough search and found nothing,” two Federation investigators approached the officer to report, lowering their voices to add, “The Revolution Society had been cleared out in advance; all useful items were removed.”

The Occult Union had also found nothing on their end.

After listening to his subordinates’ reports, Fernando stepped up to Fang Heng.

“How did it go? Have you confirmed everything?” Fang Heng asked.

“Indeed, there’s no trace of the Jealousy demonic seed.”

“Then that settles it.” Sun Zhaoyu scoffed from the side, muttering, “Do we really have a reason to lie to you?”

“Although the Jealousy demonic seed’s avatar has been temporarily dealt with, it could very well reincarnate in this world. When it regains its strength, it will rise again,” Fernando explained.

He clasped his fists toward Fang Heng and said, “Fang Heng, regardless of the outcome, your contributions in dealing with the demonic seed are invaluable. On behalf of the Occult Research Society Alliance, I thank you.”

Sun Zhaoyu, listening from the side, muttered quietly, “Don’t just talk, how about some real rewards?”

Fernando shot a glance at Sun Zhaoyu but didn’t respond. He nodded at Fang Heng and said, “The Occult Society has new courses related to various academic disciplines. Fang Heng, we know you have some interest in the occult. If you’re interested, you’re welcome to join us for further studies.”

[Hint: The player has received a reward-Occult Society’s advanced study invitation.]

[Hint: The player can choose to upgrade any high-tier skill (Level: Max) to master-level. Due to the special reward of the demonic seed, the player can choose two additional learning skills to upgrade (excluding bloodline-related learning)(excluding necromancy and sacred study).]

[Hint: When studying academic disciplines, the player must accumulate 72 hours to level up the disciplines.]

Fang Heng noticed the refreshed game hint and felt a surge of excitement.

Here it came—mission rewards!

“Great!”

He could choose any three academic disciplines to elevate to master level!

This reward was a significant windfall!

Under normal circumstances, leveling up any master-level skill was incredibly difficult.

Completing a side mission and suddenly being able to choose three upgrades was beyond his expectations.

The reward had exceeded his expectations!

However, as he snapped back to reality and thought it over carefully, Fang Heng felt a sense of realization wash over him, even silently lamenting, “What a pity.

This battle had temporarily eliminated the final boss in the advanced game world, and the only reward obtained was a triple reward for the selection mission.

If he had followed the main storyline step by step, he estimated he would have been close to completing it by now.

Unfortunately, he hadn’t entered the game through the ritual certification, so he couldn’t obtain the main storyline quest.

After all, under normal circumstances, once players completed the main storyline and became World Lords, they could no longer enter other games through the certification method. This usually meant there was no possibility of simultaneously completing multiple main storyline quests in advanced games.

The hidden game world was an exception.

He estimated that the mission rewards had likely incorporated part of the final rewards from the main storyline.

Oh well.

There would always be gains and losses.

Fang Heng reassured himself.

Regardless, he had achieved his goal in the Watts game world.

Abe Akaya had absorbed a significant amount of energy from the Jealousy demonic seed, and even the Gluttony entity had taken in a large portion. He had successfully obtained several mageweaths from the Jealousy demonic seed…

Now he could consider taking the time to study at the Occult Research Society and elevate his high-tier academic skills to master level.

That would yield a substantial boost in attributes!

Fang Heng could already foresee a significant boost in strength coming his way!

Meanwhile, Yu Jiayuan watched as the highest-tier boss, the Jealousy demonic seed clone, was defeated by Fang Heng, feeling a bit dazed.

So… was that it?

She observed the game hint indicating the completion of the mission line he triggered and even got some nice rewards alongside him.

However, there was still no sign of resolving the trouble with the demonic seed on her.

Yu Jiayuan felt a bitter pang in her heart. She took a small step forward and called out to President Fernando, “President Fernando!”

“What is it?”

“President Fernando, could you tell us what exactly happened? Why did the split form of the Jealousy demonic seed appear within the mage tower of the Occult Research Society? What is going on in this world?”

At her words, the surroundings fell silent, and everyone’s gaze turned expectantly toward Fernando.

Minister Dong Jihui of the Occult Joint Committee also stepped forward, looking at Fernando.

“Fernando, at this point, you truly owe us an explanation. We’ve always known that the Starry Tower held secrets, but we never imagined you were sealing away a demonic seed. If you had informed us earlier, we might not have faced the issues we do today.”

“The matter of the demonic seed is significant, and I cannot carelessly disclose it to outsiders,” Fernando said with a long sigh. He raised his hand and continued, “Everyone not involved in this matter should withdraw. Also, those who do not wish to deepen their pollution should leave as well.”

Dong Jihui raised his hand, signaling the Federation members to step back.

Soon, most of the people from the Occult Research Society and the Federation had withdrawn.

“Everyone present here is a witness to this incident. What I am about to say may increase your pollution. If you insist on staying to hear it, you may remain.”

Fernando paused for a moment and, seeing no one leave, continued, “You should all have heard the story of the three founders of the Occult Research Alliance. They were once fervent researchers of the occult. In their quest for advanced powers, they chose to cooperate with the demonic seed and discovered a special method to break the shackles of this world, allowing it to connect more easily with various occult realms and summon creatures from those worlds. They used these creatures as a basis for their research, elevating our world’s occult studies to a new level.”

“However, what you may not know is that these actions came at a cost.”

“In fact, these powers were granted to us by the Jealousy demonic seed. In exchange, the three founders of the Occult Research Society promised to help the Jealousy demonic seed establish a testing ground in this world and conduct various tests on the demonic seed.”
