The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 520 Bloodline Heritage (I)

Cain couldnʼt help but show a complicated expression as he saw the way in which Lord Kabuto looked at him. The manʼs offer was indeed amazing, and the titles of Sun Avatar and Foster Son of the Patriarch of the Solis Clan were statuses that anyone in the Deus Behemoth Empire would give their right arm to attain, but it was not so simple.

For one, after embracing Order, Cain could not easily develop an emotional attachment to a person, especially if he knew a goal was behind that relationship.

Of course, the fact that Lord Kabuto sought to bind him by goodwill and his goal was to protect his race, which was an ally of Godslayer Humankind, factored in Cainʼs decision, but still, he was not so keen on accepting it.

”Mmm, a bloodline with your power would indeed be beneficial to me, and I will honor the titles I earn, but the thing about a concubine is not something I can accept.”

Titles and even a bloodline could bind Cain to a certain point, but attaining a concubine was not something he was very eager to do. After all, the goal of such a relationship would be a child. That was the type of soft spot that Cain would not accept, or at least not before reaching the peak of Aether.

”What, why are you so prude? At your age, I already had three wives!”

Lord Kabuto immediately reacted, but this time, there was no chaos or confusion in his mind. He spoke as an older man trying to guide the younger generation. And the Patriarch of the Solis Clan was not alone.

”The madman is right, brat. You are young and virile, yet you have no one by your side nor descendants on the way. People might start thinking that your thing doesnʼt work correctly.”

Lord Zanginis showed a solemn expression as he uttered those words. He acted as if he was only looking out for Cainʼs well-being.

”It is as Wildebeest says. And it is not just about your reputation. If you do nothing, people might think that Godslayer Humanʼs virility is weak.”

A truly strange and bizarre scene appeared as esteemed Patriarchs of two of the Ten Great Bloodlines began to advise Cain, both hinting that the young man should go ahead, bed all the women he could, and make as many children as possible during his stay in the Hyperion Continent.

All in the name of his reputation and that of all Godslayer Humans.

Cain didnʼt really know how to behave in such a situation, but he did not get angry since he understood that the duo would have done this even if the prophecy of the darkness and red light had not appeared. After all, it was common in the Deus Behemoth culture to want powerful bloodlines to assimilate into their clans.

Actually, for the Deus Behemoth Race, relationships did not really need a romantic component. If it was present, all the better, but most of them were done with the goal of propagating their bloodline and siring more children.

Cainʼs talent and power were already off the charts, and it made sense that the duo would want his descendants in their families. Of course, if not for the prophecy, they would not have been so eager, and the Patriarch of the Solis Family would not have offered the proud daughter of the clan as concubines but wives.

”Enough, enough. I already have a partner on Gaia, and while I do not refrain from engaging in new romantic relationships, I will not have a child when an apocalypse-like event is looming over my head. I cannot afford such a distraction.”

Lord Kabuto and Lord Zanginis saw the seriousness in Cainʼs face, and the duo could only give up as they understood that they could not change his mind. Besides, his reason made perfect sense as it would be irresponsible to distract himself with a son when he was at the apex of his cultivation time.

”Fine, fine, it is your choice. However, you say you were fine with my bloodline and titles, and Wildebeest is our witness. We will have a ceremony to make it official, but I should pass my bloodline to you now.”

Lord Kabuto immediately carried on, ensuring Cain would attain his bloodline as if he feared the young man would back down.

Cain, on the other hand, could only shrug his shoulders. Since it would provide him with great help, there was no reason to refuse. As for the idea of saving the continent in the future, he would have done that even if Lord Kabuto had not assisted him since he had friends in this place, not to mention he was a member of the Godslayer Imperial Army, which would obviously help an ally in case of need.

”Great. Then there is nothing stopping us from carrying on with the Bloodline Heritage.” At this point, Lord Kabuto paused and stared at Cain with a complicated expression.

”The transfer of my bloodline will put immense stress on your body, especially your heart, making the process incredibly painful and dangerous since your Rebirth Heart is crippled.”

Cain knew that Lord Kabuto was not making an excuse, and the process would indeed generate immense pressure on his circulatory system. Nevertheless, his Rebirth Heart had already healed long ago, so there would not be a problem.

”There is no need to worry. My Empyrean Sun Visualization Technique has a formidable healing ability, so I should be fine.”

”Brat, you should not underestimate the pressure of a Bloodline Heritage. Besides, even if you follow the Essence Evolution Path, your body is not something you can neglect, as it could have a detrimental effect in the future. Remember that the Laws will be engraved in your flesh in the future.”

Lord Zanginis spoke solemnly, and there was a flash of concern in his eyes as he understood the danger the Bloodline Heritage would pose to Cain.
