Master of Kaidan-Chapter 503: Offspring is a Very Serious Issue

Feng Xue maintained the highest level of attention to the incident of the lost [beep—] fluid samples, even setting aside the thriving Heavenly Court.

It wasn’t that he was overly startled; rather, inheriting lineages for Kaidan could indeed be quite troublesome.

If it were born out of his own subjective operation, it would naturally be safe, but the issue was that those things might be used by someone for some unknown purpose.

Not to mention, his own Kaidan also came with such hidden dangers.

Kaidan itself shares considerable commonalities with gods from myths and legends, and the motif of offspring killing their parents is all too common across various mythological systems.

Greek mythology is rife with patricidal genes, while Norse mythology doesn’t feature the killing of fathers, the offspring are all monsters, and even in the mythologies of the Eastern System, being a father is a high-risk job. Though not killed by sons, any father with a powerful son is bound to meet an unsavory fate.

Not to mention the folk legends, where even King Arthur couldn’t escape a filial confrontation at swordpoint.

However, compared to these Kaidan, Feng Xue is of much greater significance because he holds the authority of the "Meme Power" of Masked Rider.

And "fatherly love and filial piety" is an age-old tradition inherited throughout the Masked Rider series.

In other words, for Feng Xue, the risk posed by rebellious offspring was fifty times higher than that of ordinary mythical Kaidan!

Taking a deep breath, Feng Xue steadied his mind and said,

"So you’re saying we have no leads at all now?"

"We do have leads, quite a few in fact, but at the end of the day, even if we knew, it wouldn’t help because the thing is just too small. You can’t be sure if what you’re retrieving is genuine, and no one knows where it might be sent for research. Not to mention whether the other party has something like a ’memorandum’ or not, they could even use different names to keep the researchers in the dark about the true source of their samples."

Chen Xiyao had naturally done her homework and relayed all the current leads to Feng Xue. However, just as she mentioned, [beep—] fluid itself lacks distinctive identifiers, let alone Kaidan’s [beep—] fluid. Any special agent could switch the samples en route and completely redirect the entire investigation.

Unless Feng Xue himself witnessed the flow of "Identity" to confirm whether it belonged to him, nobody could be sure if that thing was truly his.

After all, once Kaidan arrived in the real world, it would transform from an information state into something resembling a protein polymer. Although this protein-like substance could exhibit traits similar to biological proteins, its essence was still a temporary expression. Take Feng Xue, for example, he could draw a drop of blood now, run back and forth between Infinite City and the real world, and then draw another drop—both DNA expressions would be worlds apart.

Perhaps this was also the reason why, in those ancient myths, despite being in human form, gods often sired a myriad of strange and bizarre offspring?

After pondering for a moment, Feng Xue confirmed that none of his phantom items seemed to be effective in this regard. The Book of Life and Death could be useful, but firstly, it couldn’t be used in the real world without risking the revival of a series of Kaidan like the "Underworld." Secondly, the Book of Life and Death could only govern formed life, powerless against [beep—] fluid.

The only possible method would be to luckily come across a Cultivation Technique from the Supreme Martial Arts that could trace bloodlines.

But those techniques were mostly for tracing developed bloodlines, and by the time one was fully formed, it would already be too late, not to mention the slim chance of finding such a rare type among the vast number of Martial Arts. It might be easier to think of a way to draw a pie in the sky in another world.

However...

A sudden inspiration struck Feng Xue, and he immediately said:

"Anyway, you all should try hard to search for it. After you find it, bring it to me and I’ll go ask some acquaintances to see if there are any other solutions."

"This issue has become quite troublesome now, what was originally a single lead has now split into five, spreading towards Columbia, White Elephant, Ussas, Eastern Country, Victoria, with many smaller branches in between, and it seems there are even a few hidden labs within the country that are researching it. We can only sift through them one by one."

Chen Xiyao saw that Feng Xue was at her wits’ end and also had a headache. Counterfeiting something with virtually no identifying features was just too easy. Even among the samples that we’ve managed to recover so far, some weren’t even the [beep—] liquid but rather just a test tube with egg whites and coloring liquid, intended solely to confuse and distract.

Feng Xue, not having any more ideas, immediately took out a stack of new ghost-catching contracts and waved her hand, saying:

"Since there are no ghosts, I’ll go busy myself with other things. Notify me immediately if there’s any news."

"Got it."

...

By canceling the "contract" to end the Descent, Feng Xue returned to the Divine Enthronement world, but at this point, she no longer had the will to continue her efforts in that world. After issuing a series of orders to the Heavenly Court, she immediately returned to Infinite City through the door in Jizhou.

Without pausing in her own study, Feng Xue pushed open the front door and went to find Miss Ke of the Ke family.

There was no choice, talking about handling offspring, the Ke lineage was definitely the most useful tool. Even if it wasn’t about tracing bloodlines, just casting a Bloodline Curse and polluting the entire bloodline would be tantamount to rendering that batch of samples useless. After a while, once the curse was lifted, everything would be safe and sound.

However, the problem was...

"Knock, knock, knock; knock, knock, knock..."

After repeatedly knocking for a long time, Miss Ke’s door still showed no signs of opening, which undoubtedly meant that she was probably off enjoying herself in some other world.

"Stop knocking, the newbie is on her first traversal, how could she be back so soon?" Cain, appearing to be like an old man taking a leisurely stroll, never went out spreading faith, just wandering around Infinite City. Seeing Feng Xue knocking at Miss Ke’s door, he immediately came over to say.

Hearing this, all Feng Xue could do was spread her hands and say:

"No choice, do you know any friends who are good at casting curses? Ones capable of directly polluting bloodlines."

"Uh... Did your bloodline get out?" Cain bluntly pointed out Feng Xue’s problem which surprised her slightly.

Seeing her unexpected expression, Cain calmly said:

"What’s so strange about it? A few years back, a minor deity from a Divine System was resurrected and went around asking people for bloodline curse techniques, just to snuff out his deadbeat son, not knowing whether he was resurrected or not, and nip the problem in the bud. After all, in mythology, sons killing their fathers is a tradition. Your request is not that unusual."

"So, is there a solution?" Feng Xue brightened up on hearing it wasn’t unusual. There must be a standard procedure whenever there is a demand for such a thing.

"The solution is that there is no solution," Cain spread his hands, his face a picture of helplessness: ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"If it was a mortal, that would be another story, but for someone like you, who already has ’godly’ features, it’s way too easy to produce offspring. I’m not even talking about genetic material, some people could carelessly leave a footprint and someone stepping in it might get pregnant, making it impossible to trace.

"Moreover, the trouble is that even if someone does have this curse ability, they wouldn’t make this deal with you, because curses themselves are a dangerous business for both parties involved. If the other person is weaker than you, cursing you is essentially suicide. Even if you dropped your defenses, how could they trust you? Conversely, if they are stronger than you, would you dare let them curse at will?"
