Chapter 159: Ancestors from 300,000 Years Ago
Translator: 549690339 |
This is the trace of Divinity that made up the Vampire Demi-god Incarnation, and the consequence of merging with a physical body is being bound by it. Once the body is destroyed, there will be a certain period of discomfort. During this period, it is quite easy to be captured, leading to the collapse of the incarnation.
That is to say, the incarnation of this Semi-god Vampire just bit the dust.
There wasn’t much communication, not like the villains in novels that have so much to say, they started fighting as soon as they arrived.
There weren’t earth-shattering battles either. Aside from the initial probing where Lin Xiao suffered a slight setback, the three of them seriously took on the Blood God Incarnate and easily finished it off.
After all, this isn’t a novel or a film, there’s no need for so many lines. They were already fighting here, who would have the time for idle chatter? Confrontation first, talk later.
They wouldn’t be far stronger than the opposing side and still drag the fight out before finishing it off.
This reminded Lin Xiao of a classic character from a movie in his previous life, Captain America, who was just a mortal but managed to evenly match everyone he fought, taking forever to beat a minor enemy and still managing to be evenly matched with the final boss, Thanos. It was ridiculous.
Naturally, the outcome goes without saying. It was just an incarnation of a demigod. The divine power invested wasn’t much; how could it withstand them?
Moreover, from this battle, one thing was certain: this Vampire Demigod was indeed just a Normal Demigod, not a High-Level Demigod. If it were a High- Level Demigod, the outcome might be difficult to say.
The combat power difference between a High-Level Demigod’s incarnation and that of a Normal Demigod is more than just a little. To put it this way, a standard incarnation of a High-Level Demigod could easily suppress a Normal Demigod who has just recently ascended. It’s like how the Sea God only sent an incarnation and ended up in a mutually destructive fight with the Snake People Demigod during the final exams.
The Sea God might have had the home field advantage of the ocean, but the Snake People Demigod wasn’t newly ascended either.
He reached out to collect the broken Legendary Vampire Corpse; this thing had been tainted with Divinity, making the corpse more valuable than that of a common Rank 8 Legendary Creature.
Carrying the Legendary Vampire Corpse towards the direction of the city, Lin Xiao raised his gun and shouted:
“Attack!”
Having witnessed their Deity slay an Evil God, the morale of Slarda, who roared and charged first, was immensely boosted. Lin Xu and Shen Yue Xin’s Clans followed closely, starting the final siege.
Several kilometers outside the city, Yu Xiu witnessed a tense, brief, and exciting godly battle. The spectacular display of power in each move of both sides left him so palpitating that he didn’t dare to do anything other than peek out from behind a small hill with one eye open, looking on with envy.
His Half Beastman subordinates were even worse off, cowering behind the small hill, not even daring to raise their heads.
Only after the Blood God Incarnate fell did he breathe a sigh of relief. He loosened his wide robe’s collar and exhaled lightly, sending the latest news to his superior.
After hearing the news of the Blood God Incarnate’s fall, the supervisor was overjoyed and hurriedly urged:
“Hurry up and find them. The company has just issued an order willing to exchange three Divinity Cards for that bit of Divinity from the Blood God.” “What the heck?”
Yu Xiu was surprised and asked instinctively:
“Why is that? Three Divinity Cards in exchange for a bit of Divinity? Is there a secret to this bit of Divinity from the Blood God?”
The supervisor glared at him and scolded:
“Don’t ask so many questions. Just follow the orders.”
Yu Xiu shrugged his shoulders, turned around to prepare his Half Beastman who had recovered from the Divine pressure, and casually asked:
“Speaking of which, our actions on this plane are not exactly legal. These elite students have big shots looking out for them. Is it appropriate for us to interact with them?”
The supervisor, who seemed to be busy with something, paused after hearing his words and replied indifferently:
“If we don’t talk about it, who will know whether our actions are legal or not? They are only here in this plane temorarily for experience and in no conflict with us. As long as our actions are not exposed, we are legal citizens of the Human Federation.”
Yu Xiu responded with a laugh:
“Right, I am now a legally registered adventurer of the Federation from the Outland, completely normal to conduct some trade with them.”
Alfonso, the war was nearing its end.
After the fall of the Blood God Incarnate, the battle was essentially decided.
The followers within the city didn’t mind the scene of the Blood God Incarnate escaping; they only saw the moment their worshipped Blood God was slain by the Evil God, their morale plummeted instantly. With the support of the three Magic High Towers, the remaining defenders immediately started breaking out.
At the same time, the residual Mage team, along with a few select elites, took advantage of the defenders’ breakout to distract their enemies and escaped to the castle. They found several descendants of the Duke of Vampires, Afonso, and used the Teleportation Array to transfer all the remaining elites away in one go.
Lin Xiao was aware of the spatial fluctuations caused by the activation of the Teleportation Array but did not stop them.
Firstly, he was discussing with Lin Xu and Shen Yue Xin on how to divide the bit of Divinity and other spoils of war, and was distracted at the time.
Besides, what escaped were just a small portion of the elites, with the main forces already trapped inside the city.
Their goal was to destroy the main faith of the Blood God, and it didn’t matter much whether they pursued the few who fled or not. The current priority was how to divide that bit of Divinity.
There was only a bit of Divinity, yet it had to be divided among three people. That could be tricky.
Such prized possession is surely desired by all, but there is only so much…
The three of them were silent for a long time before Lin Xiao finally spoke:
“With only one point of Divinity, it definitely cannot be divided. How about this, I’ll give up on this point of Divinity and exchange it with other spoils of war. How about I take this Legendary Vampire Corpse?”
Just like he said, with only one point of Divinity that cannot be split, someone will surely give up. Rather than fighting over it and souring the mood, it’s better to take the initiative to give it up and take other valuable spoils of war.
For example, this corpse of a Legendary Vampire and those three Magic High Towers; Lin Xiao was quite interested in them.
Later, after dismantling the three Magic High Towers and moving them into his own Divine Realm, he would have the Wise Goblins study them to see if they could reverse-engineer the technology of the Magic High Towers.
Although these towers have a long spell cooldown, their power is immense. A hit on a typical Rank 6 Transcendent troop could mean instant death. Having a bunch of these towers in the Divine Realm could greatly increase its defense capability. In case of another invasion, the defensive power of the Divine Realm would be significantly enhanced.
As he relinquished his claim, Lin Xu glanced at Shen Yue Xin, about to gracefully give up as well, but it was she who waved her hand first and said:
“Then I won’t take it either, let’s exchange for something else.”
Her demeanor seemed rather contemptuous.
Lin Xu was stunned for a moment, looking at Lin Xiao and Shen Yue Xin with a strange gaze. Suddenly, he felt that the piece of Divinity in his hand was not as desirable as he thought.
After distributing the Divinity and the Legendary Vampire Corpse, they began to divide the other spoils of war, which included the vast Alfonso City that had been conquered, containing no small amount of resources.
Since Lin Xu got that point of Divinity, he could not participate in the distribution of the other spoils of war, meaning everything in the large city was his and Shen Yue Xin’s.
Yes, everything—all of the city.
It’s a rare opportunity to come across a major city from a civilized plane, so of course, they had to plunder it thoroughly. For them, the new recruits in the Divine Realm who lacked everything, even a pile of stones held value.
Of course, this was just a figure of speech; they weren’t really going to dismantle the entire city and move every stone into the Divine Realm—it was just an expression.
After all, the city was too large to dismantle and fit entirely; the Divine Realm had limited carrying capacity and couldn’t absorb too many foreign objects at once.
Having negotiated how to divide the spoils of war, what remained was to wait for their subordinates to completely overrun the city.
The trio stood atop one of the city’s Magic High Towers in the center, overlooking the battlefield. With the Mage team gone, the three Magic High Towers also ceased firing, and now that they were there, no one came to bother them.
A group of Supreme Naga guarded the perimeter of the Magic High Tower, while Lin Xiao allowed the Wise Goblins to enter one and scavenge it. In the neighboring Magic High Tower, many of Shen Yue Xin’s Wingmen were searching.
The scavenged items were all moved to the plaza beside the Magic High Tower and sorted. They would open the Divine Realm Gate and move them in once they had accumulated enough.
When the plaza was piled with goods, including several heaps extracted from the Magic High Towers and a small pile of books, Lin Xiao picked up a book with genuine interest and began to read.
In this plane, what’s called a ‘book’ is actually a long scroll, like parchment, vellum, or various exotic beast skin scrolls, with a vast number of words recorded on them. If the content is too extensive, it’s divided into volumes.
A quick review of these scrolls revealed some truly valuable finds, such as a complete foundational set of scrolls for the Blood Mage Extraordinary Profession.
Unfortunately, it’s not complete, only containing the basic subjects for the first three levels, offering education only up to a Level 3 Blood Mage. Presumably, the important scrolls were all taken away by the fleeing Blood Mage Group.
In that case…
It couldn’t be said to be completely worthless; for Divine Territory Players with clans of vampires, it’s quite valuable, albeit limited in value.
Besides, even if there were a full set of Blood Mage profession scrolls, it wouldn’t be of use to him. He didn’t have vampires under his command; he couldn’t leverage this Extraordinary Profession and would only be able to exchange it with others.
On the other hand, the search had yielded quite a few interesting items from both the three Magic High Towers and the Duke’s castle that piqued his interest, so Lin Xiao crouched next to the designated pile of scavenged goods from the castle and began his scrutinizing.
In a box cushioned with luxurious cloth, he found three unknown dusky-yellow beast eggs. Not knowing what sort of beast eggs they were, he decided to take them back to the Divine Realm to try hatching them.
Next, he found a scroll tied with a silver ribbon, intricately patterned, and Lin Xiao sensed a magical trap on it. With a thought, he tried to activate a wisp of Divinity, attempting to break through the magical trap. Then, with a ‘crackle’, sparks flew, and the scroll suddenly ignited into flames.
“Pfft!”
Turning around, he saw Shen Yue Xin covering her mouth with a light chuckle. He grabbed the burnt scroll in his palm, crushing it to ashes, and shrugged awkwardly. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly sensed something and turned his head, seeing his faithful follower, Slarda, swimming over and kneeling before him to say:
“Great Creator, there’s a human who says he has brought an extremely important message for you.”
“A human?”
Lin Xiao’s eyelids twitched upwards as he saw the nervous Yu Xiu standing not far away.
Feeling the sharp gaze that swept across his body like a knife, Yu Xiu hurriedly extended his hand and called out:
“Your Excellency, I am an adventurer from the Main World.”
“An adventurer from the Main World?”
Lin Xiao was quite surprised and waved his hand to signal him to come over.
Since he was an adventurer from the Main World, both Lin Xiao and Lin Xu Shen Yue Xin regarded him with different attitudes than they would a native human.
