Lin Fan just gave a nod of acknowledgement when he heard this since this was what he had already expected when he was sent to this place.
So far, everything went the same way as when he met the Dragon God fragment.
So he could even expect what would happen next.
Before the Phoenix God fragment could say it, Lin Fan said, "You want to give your inheritance to Xiao Huo?"
The Phoenix God fragment was caught off guard when asked this by Lin Fan, but in the end, she gave a nod in response. Then she couldn't help looking at Lin Fan with a curious look, as if she was trying to figure out how he already knew this.
Lin Fan just revealed a bitter smile when he saw this since it was hard for him to explain this.
Instead, he said, "I have some conditions before that happens."
The Phoenix God fragment couldn't help knitting her brows when she heard this, but she gave another nod of acknowledgement.
After all, she knew that there was nothing in this world that was free.
While she was trying to give something that would without a doubt benefit Xiao Huo, she knew that it was impossible to erase the doubt that Lin Fan had towards her. After all, they didn't have an existing relationship, so it wasn't as if there was a reason for him to trust her.
At the same time, they hadn't interacted with each other long enough to build that kind of trust.
But it wasn't as if the Phoenix God fragment had that much time in the first place.
There was only so much power that was left in this place and there was only so long that she could maintain her form. So if she stalled for too long, she might miss her chance to pass down the inheritance.
So she chose to go along with Lin Fan's request.
If there was something for both sides to gain, then it would make it easier to come to an agreement.
She didn't believe that this Void God's successor would have too high of a requirement for her that she wouldn't be able to pass down the inheritance. So it was very likely that she would accept any request that Lin Fan had.
After seeing her nod in agreement, Lin Fan revealed a smile and said, "I want the herbs that are in this place."
The Phoenix God fragment couldn't help being surprised when she heard this.
She couldn't help looking at Lin Fan with a doubtful look, as if she didn't believe what he had just said. But seeing that he had a serious look on his face and it didn't seem like he was kidding, she nodded in agreement.
She had no need for the herbs that were here in the first place. These herbs had grown because of the life energy that the Phoenix God fragment naturally released when she was in hibernation.
So it wasn't as if she had any sentimental attachments to them, even if they had formed spirituality.
When the herbs around her saw this, they couldn't help revealing bitter looks.
This place was a paradise for them, but now they have been sold off by the owner of this place. It was hard for them not to feel some kind of bitter feelings towards this.
Of course, it wasn't as if they could say anything about this since they knew their place.
Since the owner had agreed to let Lin Fan take them, that meant that their only path forward was to go with Lin Fan.
Lin Fan wasn't surprised that the Phoenix God fragment agreed to this so easily. It had been the same with the Dragon God fragment, so he had expected this answer from the Phoenix God fragment.
But he didn't move after receiving confirmation from the Phoenix God fragment.
The Phoenix God fragment looked at him for a bit before saying, "Is there something else?"
Lin Fan nodded and said, "I still have another condition."
The Phoenix God fragment knitted her brows when she heard this, but she said with a nod, "Alright, tell me what you want."
Lin Fan looked right into her eyes and said, "I want to ask you a few questions. If you answer honestly, then I'll allow Xiao Huo to accept your inheritance."
The Phoenix God fragment couldn't help revealing a surprised look again when she heard this, but then she knitted her brows once more. She looked at Lin Fan with a serious look for a bit before saying, "I can answer your questions, but what if there is a question that I can't answer? Will you go back on your word if there's a question like that?"
Lin Fan shook his head and said, "If there's a question that you can't answer for any reason, you don't have to answer it. I hope that you will tell me the reason, but I know that there are certain things that you can't say."
The Phoenix God fragment couldn't help looking even more confused when she heard this.
She just couldn't figure out what Lin Fan's goal was…
No matter how she looked at this, this didn't seem like he would be gaining anything from this. No matter how she looked at this, it almost seemed like he was playing with her.
But she could see the seriousness in his eyes and knew that he was serious about this answer.
So she couldn't help feeling even more confused.
In the end though, she agreed to Lin Fan's terms.
She was curious what questions he would ask her.
The first question that Lin Fan asked was, "Have you ever heard of the word 'system'?"
When the Phoenix God fragment heard this question, she couldn't help revealing a confused look.
She thought about it before shaking her head and saying, "I've never heard of this thing before. What is it?"
Lin Fan gave a sigh before saying, "I'm sure that you should have heard some kind of rumour about this before. Can you think of anything?"
The Phoenix God fragment was even more confused when she heard this, but she tried thinking about it like Lin Fan wanted. After thinking for a while, she finally said, "I heard some people in the world of gods talking about it before…"
The answer that she gave in the end was just the same answer that Lin Fan had received before. It was that there were some gods that had been experimenting with something like this.
Lin Fan would have asked more about it, but he figured that she would give him the same answer as the Dragon God fragment. Since she wouldn't be able to give him any more information, then there was no need for him to ask anything.
Instead, he asked, "Do you have something similar to the Dragon Stone?"
When the Phoenix God fragment heard this, she immediately revealed a serious look as she turned to look at Lin Fan.
Seeing the look on her face, Lin Fan couldn't help being taken aback.
The Phoenix God fragment then said, "Since you're saying this, does that mean that you have already collected the Dragon Stone?"
Lin Fan just gave a simple nod in response before waiting to see what she would say.
Seeing this, the Phoenix God fragment just said, "This was an agreement that we made with the Void God all those years ago…" Then her voice just drifted off as she didn't say anything else.
Lin Fan just calmly waited for a while, but it didn't seem like she would say anything else.
So he suddenly gave a cough as if he wanted to draw her attention.
But in the end, the Phoenix God fragment just said, "This isn't something that you should know now. You still have to find the true descendants of the five sacred beast races and get the five stones. Only then will you learn about the true past between us and the Void God."
Lin Fan knitted his brows when he heard this.
While this wasn't the information that he wanted, there was some new information that he obtained from this answer.
He at least confirmed that there was indeed one stone for each of the sacred beast races and that there would be a place that was similar to this for the three remaining sacred beast races.
That meant that he would have to go to those places as well to obtain them.
He had already planned on this, but there was still a wrench in that plan…
He didn't have the Black Tortoise bloodline.
He only had pets with four of the five bloodlines, he had never obtained the last one.
So what would he use to meet the Black Tortoise God fragment?
Still, he threw this thought out of his mind and turned back to the present.
Since she wasn't willing to give him any more information, there wasn't anything else that Lin Fan wanted from her.
So he just turned around to look at the herbs around him before taking out a pair of scissors.
Seeing this, all of the herbs felt a chill run down their spines as they knew what Lin Fan was planning on doing.
At the same time, Xiao Huo ran up beside Lin Fan and looked like he was planning on helping him.
But Lin Fan turned Xiao Huo back to face the Phoenix God fragment and said, "You go with her for now and accept her inheritance."
Xiao Huo revealed a sad look, but he still gave a nod when he heard this.
The Phoenix God fragment let out a sigh of relief before looking at Lin Fan with a grateful look.
At the very least, he kept his promise.
