Chapter 2864 The Speculation

The Blood-storing Seed was an intricate way to preserve blood.

There was a tricky conundrum that had arisen with every great clan in the Source World continuing their bloodlines.

Since the blood was passed down from generation to generation, over time it became diluted.

For example, Lorena was an esteemed member of the Nine Li race, while Mike was an outsider. So it was inevitable that their children's blood would be diluted.

However, this crisis was abridged by the Blood-storing Seed.

With the Blood-storing Seed, descendants of the clans would be able to ensure the purity of their blood.

However, there was a class system in play for the Blood-storing Seed. For common people, an ordinary Blood-storing Seed would suffice.

In the Source World, the One-Pattern and Two-Pattern Blood-storing Seeds were quite commonly and easily acquired, but the Six-Pattern Blood-storing Seed was more of a rarity and harder to find.

Therefore, when Emily heard Lorena mention the Six-Pattern Blood-storing Seed that had been given by the Snake Goddess, her ears instantly perked up. This meant that one of her children had been gifted with the blood of the Snake Goddess race. If the Six-Pattern Blood-storing Seed had really been made by the Snake Goddess herself, then this child had a chance of possessing the purest blood of the Snake Goddess race.

Of course, there was no doubt that Zen and Yan were Lorena and Mike's children. The Blood-storing Seed carried the blood, which was its special ability.

"The Blood-storing Seed of our race was used on Zen, right?" Timotheus asked, staring wide-eyed at Zen.

Mike nodded.

"Small wonder then that the Blood Stone broke into pieces." Leopold smiled woefully.

They had tested Zen's blood strenuously at the Sky Spirit Bone Tower, but they hadn't known its limit. They only knew the imperial-grade bloodline flowed in Zen's veins. Now it would appear that they had underestimated him.

"What is the Infinity Ruler?" Timotheus probed Mike.

"What is your view on the merging of Godly Ways?" Mike asked hesitantly.

"The merging of Godly Ways? You mean the theurgy that Zen has been cultivating? I don't know who instructed him to cultivate it, but I dare say it will prove a failure." Leopold shook his head disapprovingly.

Timotheus supported his opinion by saying, "That is a road to nowhere,

to fill the three thousand scales marked on the Infinity Ruler.

Of course, no one was aware that Zen was talking with No. 9527. After hearing Emily's response, Timotheus and the others found it difficult to further doubt things. After all, Mike's assumption sounded somewhat reasonable.

"Zen once mentioned those Yellow Emperor Guards. What are they like now?" Timotheus asked.

The Nine Li Guards never busied themselves with the bizarre idea of Grand Chieftain. But they were concerned about the real threat. The Yellow Emperor Guards were potentially the biggest challenge in the divine land.

"Someone has taken control of the Abyss Demon Region. It won't be long before they break through the Mixed Element Seal," Lorena reported.

Timotheus' eyes flashed as he offered, "In that case, you must stay outside the divine land, and we'll protect you."

Emily agreed, "Right. Since you can't oppose the powerhouses at the Other Shore Realm, you can place your family members in a small world and bring them here. You can return once we are able to enter the divine land."

She longed to verify Yan's blood. Although she was in the dark about what the Snake Goddess thought, she felt obliged to verify it since Yan possessed their race's blood. Besides, she was willing to stay here because of Zen.

"I'm afraid that will not be possible," Mike said, shaking his head.

"Why not?" Timotheus asked, frowning. He felt this was the safest means available to them.

"Zen has a mission of his own now. The Mountain of Holy Beings is about to emerge," Mike explained.
