143: Analyzing Bloodlines, the Truth of Antiquity

His consciousness sank, losing track of time.

Under the guidance of the mysterious power of the Gene Laboratory, Chu He felt as if he had turned into a speck of dust, drifting in a vast river composed of billions of golden runes.

This river was his Bloodline.

The Origin River of the Primordial Dragon God Bloodline!

He saw countless shattered images and heard countless roars and wails from ancient times.

Those images were intermittent and blurred, as if they were afterimages left behind after being forcibly erased.

Yet, he could still catch a glimpse of that long-lost, glorious yet tragic Primordial Era from these afterimages.

He saw golden divine dragons, each larger than a galaxy, roaming the dark Universe.

They were the darlings of the Universe, the Incarnations of Law.

When the dragon's roar rose, worlds could be created.

Wherever the dragon's breath reached, life could be nurtured.

They were the undisputed supreme Dominators of that era, revered by all races as the—'Ancient Dragon God'!

However, the scene suddenly changed.

Endless darkness spread from the edge of the Universe.

It wasn't ordinary darkness, but a pure 'Nothingness' that devoured and destroyed everything.

From within the 'Nothingness' emerged an endless tide of hideous monsters made of bone and flesh.

They formed fleets of unimaginable size, like locusts, frantically devouring everything in their path.

Planets, stars, galaxies... everything turned into cosmic dust under their gnawing.

They were none other than the—Star-Devouring Demon Clan!

War broke out without warning.

The Ancient Dragon God race, in order to protect the order of the Universe, engaged in a life-and-death struggle with the Star-Devouring Demon Clan.

That battle shattered the heavens and earth, causing the Universe to lose its color.

Countless worlds were turned to powder in their conflict, and countless Laws completely collapsed under the terrifying power.

Chu He saw a majestic golden divine dragon use its own body to smash a mobile Demon Hall larger than a star.

He also saw a hideous Star-Devouring Demonic Beast use its sharp claws to tear open a divine dragon's throat, greedily drinking the scalding dragon blood.

This war lasted for countless ages.

In the end, it concluded with the tragic defeat of the Ancient Dragon God race.

The last and most powerful Ancient Dragon God, while heavily wounded and on the verge of falling, exhausted his final strength to burn his Divine Soul and Bloodline Origin to do two things.

First, he also heavily wounded the sovereign of the Star-Devouring Demon Clan, the 'Star-Devouring Demon Emperor', and sealed him in an unknown part of the Universe, gaining a slim chance of survival for the remaining cosmic lifeforms.

Second, he took his last spark of Bloodline fire, fused it with his supreme understanding of the Universe Origin, turned it into an immortal brand, and cast it into the endless cycle of space-time Reincarnation.

This brand was—the 'Many Children, Many Blessings System'!

And he, Chu He, was the lucky one who, after countless Reincarnations and by a stroke of Luck, carried this final spark!

The System's purpose was never to make him invincible alone.

Rather, it was to use him, through the most primitive and fundamental method of 'Procreation', to re-sow the Bloodline of the Ancient Dragon God race across the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms!

It was for the revival of the entire race!

The 'aberrations' appearing in his offspring finally had an answer.

That wasn't a mutation, but a form of 'Atavism'!

During the war with the Star-Devouring Demon Clan, countless dragon gods fell, and their Bloodline Origin fused to some extent with the destruction Origin of the Star-Devouring Demon Clan under the environment of the Great Cosmic Destruction.

This fused power turned into 'Marks of Destruction' hidden deep within the Laws of the Universe.

When Chu He's Primordial Dragon God Bloodline combined with other powerful Bloodlines to give birth to sufficiently excellent descendants, it was possible to activate these hidden 'Marks of Destruction', thus giving birth to special Physiques like the 'Chaos Annihilation Dragon Body', which possessed both the dragon god's power of creation and the Demon Race's power of destruction.

This was both a curse and an alternative form of evolution!

"So... that's how it is..."

As the last image dissipated, Chu He's consciousness slowly returned from the river of Bloodline.

He opened his eyes, his gaze complicated to the extreme.

There was shock, there was realization, but more than anything, there was an unprecedented weight.

He had always thought he was just fighting for his own small Family.

Only at this moment did he understand that on his shoulders rested the hope for the revival of a long-lost, great race!

He was the last... King of the Ancient Dragon God race!

[Ding! Bloodline analysis complete!]

[Host's 'Primordial Dragon God Bloodline' Origin Awakening degree increased to 10%!]

[System Ultimate Module—'Dragon God Hall' unlocked!]

[Detected that the Host has realized his mission and his will for racial revival has awakened. Unlocking new function—'bloodline armament'!]

['bloodline armament': The Host can consume family fortune value and special Materials to custom-build exclusive 'Dragon God Armaments' for Family members who possess the dragon god Bloodline. Dragon God Armaments can perfectly synchronize with Bloodline talents, significantly boosting their combat power and growing alongside their Bloodline.]

Looking at the new function appearing on the System panel, Chu He's breathing became somewhat rapid.

bloodline armament!

This was practically a tailor-made cheat for his 'Army of Divine Children'!

He could already imagine how their combat power would soar to a terrifying level when his exceptionally gifted children put on the Dragon God Armaments custom-made for them.

"Star-Devouring Demon Emperor..."

Chu He softly uttered this name.

From the Bloodline memories, he learned that although the dragon god ancestor of that year had heavily wounded and sealed the Devil Emperor, that Seal was not eternal.

As time passed, the power of the Seal was constantly weakening.

The reason why the demon generals and demonic sons and grandchildren under the Devil Emperor were frantically searching for and devouring special Bloodlines in the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms was, on one hand, to strengthen themselves, and on the other, to accumulate power for the Devil Emperor's return!

The time left for him was not much.

He had to quickly increase the strength of the entire Family.

"Forging bloodline armaments requires consuming Luck and Materials..."

Chu He glanced at his remaining thirty-thousand-plus points of family fortune value, then thought about the massive amount of resources he had looted from the Lingxuan Realm, and his brows furrowed slightly.

It seemed like a lot, but to arm his large Family, it was likely far from enough.

Especially those top-tier divine golds and immortal irons, which were even scarcer.

"It seems the Lingxuan Realm has been squeezed dry; it's time to go back."

Chu He stood up, ending this long period of secluded cultivation.

In the outside world, only a short month had actually passed.

But for him, it felt as if he had experienced a Reincarnation spanning several eras.

His state of mind had undergone an earth-shaking change.

Just as he was preparing to leave the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda and return to the Lingxuan Realm to arrange the matters of his return, he suddenly remembered another function after the System upgrade.

[Family Summoning]!

"Since I'm going back, why not... call a few people over to help first."

A smile curled at the corner of Chu He's mouth.

As a powerhouse at the Late Void Refining Stage and the 'Supreme Emperor' of the entire Lingxuan Realm, he no longer needed to do some things personally.

It was time to let the children come out to see the world and gain some experience.

"Who should I summon?"

Chu He pondered for a moment and quickly made a decision.

"System, activate Family Summoning!"

"Target One: Eldest Son, Chu Tian!"

"Target Two: Wife, Su Qingxue!"

One was a battle maniac with the 'Chaos Annihilation Dragon Body', perfect for practice.

The other was the possessor of the 'Myriad Formations Dao Body'; letting her set up the grand teleportation formation across worlds couldn't be more appropriate.

[Ding! Family Summoning activated, consuming 2000 points of family fortune value.]

[World passage under construction...]

As the System prompt sounded, the Void Realm in front of Chu He slowly tore open a silver spatial rift.

The other end of the rift was exactly above the Chu Family Mansion in the Xuanhuang Realm.
