Chapter 107: Gods and demons

Moments later, they arrived at a mansion in the remote corner of the city.

After stepping through several layers of spatial formation, they reached a secluded wing room.

"So cold..." Feng Yun muttered as he entered.

The room was made entirely of ice crystals. The biting chill cut through even his robust spiritual body.

In the centre, resting atop a pedestal of frost, lay an ornate ice coffin.

Inside it—an eleven- or twelve-year-old girl.

Dressed in black silk. Eyes shut. Skin as pale as snow.

"This is the one you want to save?" Feng Yun asked.

The Crazy Sword Saint nodded gravely. "She is."

"What happened to her?"

"She’s alive... But her condition is special. Her bloodline has made her something between life and death—a living corpse. Her soul power declining gradually."

The Sword Saint’s tone was low, reverent.

"The Spirit Soul Ember helped her stabilise her fading soul... barely. But even that’s failing."

"Furthermore, her blood goes berserk constantly. I’ve had to transfuse my own to stabilise it."

"That’s why your cultivation has been regressing," Feng Yun concluded.

"Yes."

Feng Yun stepped closer and studied the girl.

"...She’s in a vegetative state," he muttered.

A sudden thought struck him. The living dead in this world were somewhat similar to the coma in Blue Star. All for unknown reasons, unable to wake up.

"Can she be saved?" The old man asked.

"She can be saved, but first tell me, who is she?" Feng Yun asked curiously.

"My granddaughter." The old man answered.

"Your granddaughter?" Feng Yun was taken aback. The old man was over three hundred years old; his granddaughter should not be so young.

"Why are you so curious about her? Just save her. I will answer your question later." The old man was impatient and said.

Just then, the system’s voice echoed coldly in Feng Yun’s mind.

[Host. Think carefully. If you save her, you may plunge the world into chaos.

"What do you mean?" Feng Yun frowned.

The timing was suspicious. The system had remained silent until now.

He had already signed the contract. If he bailed out now, the opportunity would be lost.

[She carries the blood of the Blood Demon Clan—a cursed bloodline that, once awakened, could destroy cities.]

Feng Yun’s expression changed.

[Her bloodline purity exceeds 90%. She is a true berserker heir. If she awakens without suppression, she won’t be able to control her emotion. Her soul power is weak to content against her bloodline.

"...So she’s a walking apocalypse," Feng Yun murmured.

[Correct. Once her blood awakens, she won’t be herself anymore. She’ll become a being of slaughter—driven only by instinct.

"...Then what should I do?" he whispered.

This wasn’t what he had expected. He came to save a life, not release a catastrophe.

"Old man, give me some time," he said solemnly. "I’ll find a way to save her." Feng Yun said as he walked out of the room, he needed some alone time to talk to the system.

And with that, Feng Yun closed his eyes and entered the system space.

What came next could determine the fate of the entire world.

"System, tell me, why does that girl have the blood demon bloodline?"

Feng Yun was familiar with the system’s routine; it wouldn’t come out unless there was something important.

If it’s not a big deal, the system won’t even bother to remind him. Once reminded, it was no small matter.

[The human race has a strong cultivation physique, but it can’t be passed on directly. The beasts and demons are different; they can graft the inheritance to others.

The system explained.

For example, if you are born in a human race, you cannot inherit your parents’s cultivation but at most inherit their cultivation talent.

[Host, in this world, the human race is not only a race. There are other races also, living in the different corners of the world. Before human, this world was dominated by the gods and demon race; although the era changed, some of the remnants were still living in the world.

[Gods and demons are different from humans; they have a very low birth rate, but they have a very high lifeline, almost immortals. And the higher the bloodline purity, the lower the birth rate.

Because the birth rate noble rank bloodline was too low, they have found a method to pass on their legacy. They would chose a newly born baby of lower-grade demons and pass on their legacy to the child.

[The battle between gods and demons resulted in the death of both sides. Both sides fought for Melenia, ending up destroying each other. But each side left behind a backhand to resurrect in the future.

Presumably that girl is the successor of the blood demon clan.

"Is the blood demon powerful?" Feng Yun asked curiously. He was baffled by the history of the world mentioned by the system. That was a tale of many eras past; in today’s world, nobody has heard of the names of gods and demons.

[Among the various demon clans that were born at the beginning, blood demons, heart demons, dark demons were the best among the demons.’

[Bloodfiend possesses the power of rage, and absorbing evil spirit will increase its powerful magic power.

[Inner demons can control spiritual thoughts as long as evil thoughts arise in the heart; they will be polluted and controlled.]

[Dark demon can devour any creature and increase its energy and strength infinitely.]

Like the divine bodies, each type of demon has its own unique skills.

But the skills of the demons were all related to darkness and full of evil.

"Fuck, I should have thought of it. This is a fantasy world, so there must be gods and demons. This is all an old routine." Feng Yun muttered inwardly.

What’s the matter? With the upgrade all the way, he finally reached the peak level of this world and then found that there is a sky beyond the sky; Feng Yun has a feeling of being cheated.
