Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 961 - 449: Ancestral Blood, the Sealed Ancient Dragon Power_2
[Alas, even the amalgamation of blood essences from the ancestors of the five Dragon Clans was still unable to break through that unknown seal and restriction. Of course, it’s also possible that this was because the ancestral bloodline of the ’Dark Hermit’ was missing.]
[Only a shell that is physically strong can use this artifact.]
[After using the artifact, the shell’s physical strength and grade can be greatly enhanced based on the compatibility with the Dragon Clan bloodline. When the compatibility value exceeds the critical point, it’s even possible to improve the quality of the shell with this artifact.]
[When the ’Executor’ held up the glass vial, with the various colors of blood swirling inside, the temple seemed to be filled with the presence of five ancient dragons of different forms. They roared towards the heavens, exuding endless majesty!]
[The intense pressure caused a violent hurricane to arise, making the entire Demon Temple tremble slightly!]
[For a moment, the faces of the seven demon lords’ personal guards changed drastically; ’Lust’ and ’Sloth’ immediately stepped in front of you, while the other five demon lords formed a circle around the ’Executor’.]
[Should the ’Executor’ make any sudden move, the five demon lords would not hesitate to attack it together!]
Lin Xun’s eyes widened.
The Executor actually brought out the bloodline essence of each of the Dragon Clan ancestors!
[You immediately shouted to stop the demon lords’ reckless actions.]
[The ’Executor’ smiled faintly and said, "Do you think this ’Blood of the Five Ancient Dragon Essences’ is sincere enough?"]
[It seemed afraid that you wouldn’t recognize the value and took the initiative to explain about the vial in its hand...]
[The strength of the Dragon Clan is beyond doubt, but in terms of physical strength, many demon and Star Spirit races cannot compare to the Dragon Clan.]
[Before the end of the second divine war, that is, before the Omniscience Evil God sealed the Ancient Dragon Power, the six Dragon Clan ancestors were all divine level terrifying beings.]
[At that time, the six Dragon Clans together with human Scholars killed who knows how many Star Gods and Demon Gods, and slaughtered countless Star Spirits and demons...]
[But the reason why the Omniscience Evil God is called an Evil God is because the Divinity within contains extreme Evil.]
[After the bitterly won victory of the Omniscience Evil God in the second divine war, knowing that it would fall into a long slumber—far longer than after the first divine war, even lacking confidence in waking again—]
[The Omniscience Evil God, fearing that its Servants of God would fail to control the world during its slumber, sealed the Ancient Dragon Power, reducing the Dragon Clan ancestors, who were once divine level heroes of the divine war, to the laughably weak Demigods.]
[This is the pathetic outcome of those who served the Omniscience Evil God. Today, the remaining five Dragon Clans have wisely betrayed their old master and have submitted to the Stars, seeking refuge in their embrace...]
[The ’Blood of the Five Ancient Dragon Essences’ in its hand is voluntarily contributed after the five Dragon Clan ancestors joined the Stars...]
[As for the missing Hermit Clan of the ’Dark Hermit’...]
[Over twenty years ago, the Hermit Clan of the ’Dark Hermit’ had already secretly joined the embrace of the Stars, but the despicable Servants of God became aware, sending messengers to slaughter the entire Hermit Clan into oblivion, sparing not even the decrepit Primordial Hermit...]
[The previously divine level Ancient Black Dragon, the Primordial Hermit, died silently in a dark corner, at the hands of an old master they once trusted immensely—truly a lamentable tale.]
[It was for this reason that the remaining five great Dragon Clans sought the protection of the Stars upon learning of this, entering their embrace to avoid becoming the next victim...]
[Although the ancestral blood of the ’Dark Hermit’ Clan is missing, this vial of ’Blood of the Five Ancient Dragon Essences’ still possesses immeasurable value.]
[Once the ’Abyss’ revives and the ’Stars’ return to their places, slaying the Omniscience Evil God, the sealed Ancient Dragon Power will be liberated.]
[At that time, this vial of blood will no longer be the blood of Demigods, but the priceless blood of True Gods!]
[If you, the ’Child of the Abyss’, still think this vial of True God blood is not a sufficient gesture of sincerity, then it’s not the ’Executor’ lacking sincerity, but rather you, the ’Child of the Abyss’, who lacks it...]
The Dragon Clan ancestors possessed divine level strength?!
Lin Xun took a deep breath, the Executor’s words were loaded with information, containing many key clues.
He had previously learned from the Green Half-Dragon that the powers of the Dragon Clan were sealed.
He originally thought that the Dragon Clan ancestors, prior to the sealing of their powers, had at most the strength of false gods. He never imagined that their true strength reached the ’Eternity’ level.
It seems reasonable when considering the information known from Chapter Four: during the god wars, each of the Dragon Clans contributed significant power, and the Primordial Hermit even continuously gave birth to offspring, endlessly sending them to participate in the divine conflict.
If the ancestors of the Dragon Clan possessed only demigod-level strength, how could they be of any help to the Omniscient faction or influence the situation of the god wars?
"Sealing the power of Ancient Dragons... Can the seal be lifted just by causing the death of Almighty True Knowledge?"
Lin Xun’s Little Dragon Shell carried the ’Hermit Bloodline,’ originating from the Primordial Hermit, with a skill ceiling of ’Mythical+ Level,’ obviously under the influence of a power seal.
"No, many of the Executor’s words are half-truths, just like what was said about the Hermit Clan."
The Hermit Clan’s storyline is something Lin Xun had personally experienced, so he knew that it was indeed the descendants of the Hermit Clan that had betrayed, not the true Primordial Hermit...
The Primordial Hermit’s last breath of loyalty, sworn on his deathbed, left a deep impression on him.
If Almighty True Knowledge really sealed the power of Ancient Dragons out of fear of a trite ’hare perishes, hound cooked,’ there was no way the Primordial Hermit would still pledge undying loyalty to Almighty True Knowledge.
Moreover, according to information obtained from the Green Half-Dragon, before the second god war, Almighty True Knowledge had already agreed with each Ancient Dragon to seal their powers after the war.
This was absolutely not because of the Executor’s claim that there was fear of the six Ancient Dragons rebelling, nor was it due to a concern that the Servants of God could not control the world after His slumber.
The Executor’s words contained many inaccuracies, such as regarding the remaining five Dragon Clans. With the exception of the ’Golden Ruler’ Clan, who chose to betray actively, the other clans were forcefully suppressed by the Stars.
At this moment, the Dragon Clans were confined within the transfer painting, imprisoned at the headquarters of the Polar Star Association...
That the Executor could produce the ’Blood of the Five Ancient Dragon Essences’ meant that the information revealed by the Green Half-Dragon was essentially true.
[...]
[You gaze intently at the ’Blood of the Five Ancient Dragon Essences’, unaware that you carry the bloodline of the ’Dark Hermit’ Clan that had gone extinct over twenty years ago, the true lineage of the original ancestors!]
[If you could consume this bottle of ancestral blood essence with the ’Shell of the Primordial Hermit in Quest for Knowledge,’ and replenish the missing ’Hermit’ essence blood, you might be able to break through the seal’s restriction and gain the true power of the Ancient Dragon!]
[You offer the Executor a faint smile, sincerely stating that you’ve felt its earnestness; when a guest shows sufficient sincerity, the host should reciprocate with appropriate courtesy...]
[You decide to allow the Demon Clan to partake in the third god war!]
[The Executor exhales a long breath, finally able to achieve the desired outcome for the alliance negotiations.]
[The seven Demon Lords’ personal guards also secretly heave a sigh of relief. The pressure the ’Executor’ brought was tremendous, and as you stood toe-to-toe with the ’Executor,’ the terrifying aura of fury from the ’false god’ had to be borne by the seven Demon Lords.]
[Now that you agreed to let the Demon Clan fight, their wish fulfilled, they relaxed their guard slightly, no longer having to endure the pressure of a Divine Level being.]
[The Executor tosses the glass bottle in its hand to one of the Demon Lords’ personal guards. After inspection, it is handed over to you...]
[You have acquired the ’Blood of the Five Ancient Dragon Essences’ (Mythical+ Level Artifact)!]
[You take the glass bottle, carefully tucking it away...]
[The Executor speaks in a pleased tone, saying that since the ’Son of the Abyss’ has agreed to the alliance, you and it shall swear an oath witnessed by the ’Abyss’ and the ’Stars’...]
[Hold on!]
[You interrupt the Executor mid-sentence, causing its confusion.]
[You nonchalantly cross one leg over the other and continue, you had just promised to involve the Demon Clan in the third god war, but you never said you’d form an alliance with both sides...]
[The Executor, upon hearing this, is momentarily stunned, then its expression turns icy cold.]
[By now, it has certainly understood that you were playing it!]
[Its aura of ’Immortality’... erupts with terrifying force!]
