Time passed at ten times the normal speed.
After that, everything proceeded smoothly without any disturbances or suspicions regarding the conflict between Fang Yuan and the Mo Family. Since there were no further fights and they outwardly cooperated, no one suspected the hidden alliance between them.
Fang Yuan dedicated most of his time to refining his aperture, spending almost 16 hours a day on it. The remaining time was allocated for rest, as even though his mental fortitude was high, his physical body still required sleep to maintain efficiency.
Every day, he received a fresh supply of corpses from the Wild Boar's kills, storing them in his inventory. Additionally, he collected the bodies provided by Mo Chen, ensuring a steady stream of resources for his refinement process.
His soul foundation continued to grow stronger, reaching a point where he could control another individual with ease. He already had a target in mind for his next subjugation. His cultivation also advanced significantly, thanks to the System granted by Li Tian, which provided him with advantages beyond what he had in his previous life.
Despite all this progress, one question continued to linger in Fang Yuan's mind—what did Li Tian truly want from him? He was, in essence, just an insignificant character in the grand scheme of things. While other Venerables had used him as a pawn before, what purpose did he serve to Li Tian? Through observation, Fang Yuan had deduced that Li Tian was a true otherworldly demon, capable of easily destroying the Fate Gu. So why hadn't he done it yet?
He pondered over this mystery and eventually arrived at an answer—if Li Tian acted, the other Venerables would awaken. But even with this knowledge, another question gnawed at him. Why, after all this time, had Li Tian still not destroyed the Fate Gu? What was he waiting for? A being like him should have already surpassed everyone in this world—it had been over a 300,000 years since his era. The uncertainty of Li Tian's motives left a deep impression on Fang Yuan's mind, making him all the more wary of his true purpose.
He had been cautious about it from the moment he obtained the inheritance, never allowing the question to leave his mind, even with the many tasks demanding his attention in the outside world. It had now been half a year since his rebirth, and for the first time, he felt somewhat satisfied with his progress—unlike in his previous life, where he had still been stuck at Rank 1 Initial Stage.
Thanks to the system, his plans had accelerated beyond his initial expectations. Originally, he intended to leave the clan once he reached Rank 3, but after gaining future memories, he decided to remain hidden until he attained Rank 4 or 5. The reason was clear—he desired the Blood Skull Gu from his ancestor, a crucial tool to enhance his aptitude. Even though he possessed the system, it had not provided him with such resources. The system had never given him anything like relic Gu, only Primeval Stones which are normal rewards and Immortal Stones as S-rank rewards.
Right now, Fang Yuan sat in the hut he had been given in the academy, having just broken through to Rank 3 Initial Stage. It might be hard to believe that he had advanced so quickly, and indeed, it should have been difficult—but with nearly a million Primeval Stones in his possession, he had resources far beyond what an ordinary cultivator could dream of. It was as if he were a privileged heir, nurtured with endless wealth by a Sugar Daddy.
However, Fang Yuan cared nothing for such comparisons. He only valued the benefits he could extract from the situation. He had amassed this wealth through the Gacha System, but obtaining such an amount required an astronomical number of Kill Points.
To achieve this, Fang Yuan had slaughtered countless beings, both on the mountain and beyond. The number of creatures he had killed exceeded a thousand, a staggering amount. He had relentlessly driven the Wild Boar and Mo Chen to their limits, treating them as expendable tools. The Wild Boar eventually perished from sheer exhaustion, while several members of the Mo Family also met their demise as a result of his ruthless efficiency.
Even though the reputation of the Mo Family was greatly diminished due to this, Fang Yuan remained indifferent. As long as he achieved his goals, the fate of others was of no concern to him.

When he reached a certain level of physical strength, the system introduced a new ranking system to measure his raw power. Now, with his cultivation increasing alongside his physical capabilities, the system should be ready to update, unlocking the next tier of rewards for him to claim. This meant access to stronger Gu, and better resources.
With his status confirmed, Fang Yuan closed the panel, already setting his sights on his next move.

The next chapter, the meeting of BNB, the three clans war, and all that stuff will be finished by the 100th chapter, and then I will speed up to the fate war from then on. If you have any suggestions, give them to me.
Edit: Yo guys, I need some time to review a few chapters of Reverend Insanity, so please be patient.
