There was only silence that filled the room after the key disappeared.
Everyone just stared at Lin Fan, waiting for him to react.
However, Lin Fan didn't have a reaction at all since he couldn't find anything different about himself.
Well, the one thing that was different was that there was now a black key that was inside of his dantian. It floated right in the center of the black hole that was there and it seemed like it was slowly being absorbed by it.
But there wasn't anything that really changed with the black hole.
At the same time, Lin Fan really couldn't feel anything different about his void laws.
He had thought that he would master some kind of new ability or it would become stronger than before, but in reality, it was only just a tiny bit stronger and that was because it had absorbed the void laws from the key. Other than that, there was no real change with his void laws.
He didn't know how long it would take the black hole in his dantian to absorb this key, but at the rate that it was currently going, it didn't seem like that would be for a while.
So he had no choice but to give up on having the key grant him some kind of magical power.
But he couldn't help feeling confused and a bit disappointed.
The voice had said that this was the Void God's inheritance, but there really wasn't much to inherit…
Could it be that he still had to do something special to unlock the powers of the key before he could use it?
Or was there something that he was missing?
Lin Fan really couldn't think of what he was missing, so he just gave a sigh and put all of this in the back of his mind.
Seeing that Lin Fan finally reacted, the Black Tortoise Race Great Elders took the lead.
One of them asked, "Void God's successor, are you alright?"
The other asked, "Void God's successor, is there anything that you need?"
Lin Fan looked at them and shook his head as he said, "I'm fine."
Hearing this, everyone around them let out a sigh of relief.
They had all been scared that something had happened to the precious Void God's successor that they had been waiting so long for. If that did happen, they really didn't know what they would do.
Especially since it was because of the stones that they gave him that this happened.
If anything did happen, they could only blame themselves and they wouldn't know how to fix it.
But nothing happened, so it was all good.
Seeing that he was fine, the Black Tortoise Race elders decided to forget about all of this and focus on something else.
So the Great Elders spoke again.
One of them said, "Then shall we prepare your quarters for you?"
The other one said, "You've come a long way, so we'll prepare a place for you to rest."
Their goal was to get Lin Fan to stay at the Black Tortoise Race for as long as possible since they wanted to keep Rocky here for as long as they could. There were many things that they had to arrange now that Rocky was here, so they wanted him to stay for as long as possible.
So they would try to show the utmost hospitality so that they wouldn't want to leave.
On the side, the elders of the four other sacred beast races revealed smiles of schadenfreude when they heard this.
That was because they already knew that the Black Tortoise Race elders would be disappointed by how Lin Fan reacted.
That was until they realized that there was something different this time.
There was no other sacred beast race for Lin Fan to visit anymore.
The excuse that Lin Fan had given for rushing to leave all of their races' homeworlds was because he needed to visit all five of the sacred beast races as quickly as possible. But now that he had already visited all of them, was there any excuse that he could give?
So could it be that he would stay on the Black Tortoise Race homeworld for once?
But Lin Fan didn't disappoint them as he said, "We won't be staying long."
The moment that he said this, the Black Tortoise Race elders all revealed distraught looks.
At the same time, the elders of the other four sacred beast races couldn't help knitting their brows. They should have had looks of schadenfreude on their faces when they heard this, but they couldn't help feeling confused.
After all, if Lin Fan wasn't going to stay on the Black Tortoise Race homeworld, where would he be going?
After thinking for a bit, they couldn't help feeling a bit of hope.
After all, there was the chance that he was heading back to the homeworlds of the other sacred beast races. There were still things that weren't done because he had rushed to leave, so perhaps he was going back to take care of them.
Lin Fan and his pets all had bonds in some shape or form with the other four sacred beast races. It was only the Black Tortoise Race that didn't have any bond since this Rocky had come out of nowhere.
He wasn't related to the Black Tortoise Race at all, or at least that was as far as the elders could remember.
So it didn't seem likely there would be anything that would keep Lin Fan here.
The elders of the Black Tortoise Race tried to talk Lin Fan out of leaving this quickly, but Lin Fan wouldn't listen to them as he insisted on leaving.
He said that he would leave this place in three days and he wouldn't change his mind.
But the elders of the other sacred beast races couldn't help finding this strange.
He gave the Black Tortoise Race the same amount of time as he did the other four races…well, he did give the White Tiger Race an extra day, but they couldn't understand what he was thinking.
So where was he planning on going?
Finally, one of the Dragon Race elders couldn't take it anymore and asked, "Void God's successor, where are you planning on going now? There's no more sacred beast races to visit, so you will be coming back to our Dragon Race, right?"
Seeing him take this initiative, all of the elders of the other races glared at the Dragon Race elder.
However, they didn't waste more time glaring at him since they knew that they couldn't fall behind.
So they all quickly started asking Lin Fan if he would come back to their races.
They held onto this hope and started listing all the different things that could possibly attract Lin Fan back.
For the Dragon Race, it was the Azure Dragon Tribe.
For the Phoenix Race, it was the Red Phoenix Tribe.
For the Qilin Race, it was Purple Qilin Tribe.
For the White Tiger Race, it was the Brown Stripe White Tiger Race.
When the elders of the Black Tortoise Race heard this, all of the revealed shocked and betrayed looks.
They had guessed that the other four sacred beast races had already made connections with the Void God's successor, but they never thought that it would be this deep.
They had already arranged engagements or had family members of the true descendant in their race.
Their Black Tortoise Race was the only ones who didn't have anything at all…
But none of these requests had even the slightest effect with Lin Fan.
That was because he didn't care about those things.
Perhaps it would have worked if there was a deeper bond between him and those places, or if they had appealed to the people related to them directly, but for Lin Fan…it didn't matter at all.
So he didn't plan on staying longer than he needed to.
Lin Fan just turned to the Black Tortoise Race elders and asked, "Where are our quarters? I want to rest after a long journey."
Hearing this, the elders of the other sacred beast races couldn't help feeling anxious.
So they tried even harder to convince Lin Fan…but all that did was annoy him until he finally said, "We're not going anywhere. I'm going home to take care of other business."
When they heard this, all of them couldn't help revealing ugly expressions.
It seemed that not a single one of them would be able to bring Lin Fan and the true descendant back to their race's homeworld. At the same time, it would mean that they would lose contact with them since Lin Fan was heading back to his own world.
Who knew how far away that was…
No, the Dragon Race did have an idea of where that was since…they had a clue as to who Lin Fan was from the act he had done at the Azure Dragon Tribe.
As for the other races, they all wanted to look for the people related to their races to find out where Lin Fan was from.
But Lin Fan knew that it was impossible to hide this in the first place.
So he was planning on using this to help the Lin Astral Empire once he returned.
After all, the Lin Astral Empire was still being invaded by the Beast Race.
If he could use the five sacred beast races to put pressure on the Beast Race, that would be for the best.
So while they were making plans, he was also making plans on how to use them.
