Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2458: Chapter 2453: Bloodline Curse

...Ah?

This is no longer just a matter of strange names.

As a professional player, Fu Qian almost has more than his hands can hold when it comes to special rewards after completing tasks.

However, something this unique is still rare, as he observed.

On one hand, the new form of Decree Residue is quite a long-awaited reward, surprisingly found here at Elder Ji Feng’s.

On the other hand, this effect... is it really a betrothal?

The name just now had such a sense of déjà vu, and upon seeing the specific effect, Fu Qian believed his understanding was correct—the supernatural level bloodline concept being torn apart and even reconstructed.

The resultant bloodline connection will, in turn, affect the Extraordinary Form.

The implication seems to be that under the Scarlet Storm’s coverage, all life relationships would be thrown into chaos?

No matter if one can truly be born from a demon, saying you’re his biological mother means you’re his mother, while simultaneously someone else’s grandchild.

And if there are many people involved, this situation will directly cross into a network structure, forming a beautiful picture that could make ethicists’ blood pressure explode.

The term blood curse in the remarks feels rather fitting.

Furthermore, this process is continuous.

Meaning that the web itself is constantly being torn and repaired.

Each time a connection is made, it is a shock to the life form involved.

Until they are destroyed beyond recognition, an ”inhuman form” at the supernatural level, the remaining body will be abandoned, giving birth to the next generation to create a better self, then continuing to face destruction.

Though the effect appears relatively mild, the chaotic and evil degree is quite glaring.

Even this introduction suggests that victims have no real protection, and before you know it, parents and children are everywhere—

For instance, Mr. Ji Sr.?

Previously, it was mentioned that there is a need to conduct paternity tests for the Ji Family and Yuan Clan as reference for doomsday-related judgment.

Now, the content of the special reward has already provided more information.

...

The essence of the task reward is to exploit them.

Based on previous experiences, this statement mostly holds true.

So it can be said that the ”betrothed” halo effect probably originates from the Unseen Hillock or Old Master Ji Feng.

And once it involves bloodline, it is strongly correlated with Ji Feng.

The Ji Family has always been a significant case among numerous studies.

Including the classic question: if Extraordinary Power isn’t hidden within the bloodline, then how is it inherited?

Now the negative effects of the Scarlet Storm, upon careful consideration, isn’t it evidence?

Though the effect is negative, the mere conceptual bloodline connection can influence the Extraordinary Form, providing strong support for the abstract influence factors on transcendent inheritance that were discussed with Cass not long ago.

Great minds think alike; the two leaders of the Heaven’s Commencement Institute have always paved the correct path.

Of course, for the always confident Fu Qian, this isn’t the main point.

The core lies in extracting this special reward from the hands of the elder, isn’t it proof that he holds some control over related authority?

The authority of the Order of Blood.

Exactly, the further effect of the Scarlet Storm whereby distortion exceeds the carrying capacity of life forms, who will then be forced to transform into more resistant advanced entities as offspring, is indeed quite a vivid effect—

The cries from Em House Palace transforming Larea Family members into human cradles.

That task not only also involved bloodline power but was later almost confirmed, with help from old brother Luyi, that their transformations were influenced by the authority of the Order of Blood, with technical support provided by the great Lord Rom.

Now there seems to be reason to believe Ji Feng also possesses certain abilities in this area.

And thinking from this standpoint, why would Miss Liushuang say that there was no figure named Ji Feng in the prior grouping of the Ji Family? Now there’s an explanation—

Why bother sending out deoxyribonucleic acid, if you can just define an entire family as your offspring?

Even more so, why might the Yuan Clan also be Old Master Ji Feng’s offspring?

Because He might have defined them, or believes He has.

...

Learning without reflection leads to confusion—this feeling of connecting the dots is indeed wonderful.

With rather rich accumulation, at that moment, starting from the effect of a special reward, Fu Qian noted that many riddles over the days were finally beginning to converge into a system.

Speaking of which, as a predecessor who has come this far, how is there so much energy to create children, and it turns out the method is to betroth descendants?

But once this point is established, it inevitably spawns a new question—why betroth descendants?

What significance does this hold for Old Master Ji Feng?

Anchor point? Backup plan? Ceremony—or message board?

The former items are fairly conventional operations, and honestly speaking, the related evidence is currently too little to falsify it.

But the issue also arises here, with a lack of confirming content, it seems insignificant.

At a certain moment, Fu Qian remembered a Bronze Headband that ended up in his hands.

A headband worn on the head of a Ji Family descendant that lets you hear sounds.

Is this the goal?

Not for reproduction, not for survival, but merely to leave a timeless warning?

Thinking from this perspective, the elder’s image suddenly becomes grand.

Then the Ji Family’s rather irrational and exceptionally strict ancestral teachings also subtly become understandable—

Using bloodline power or even the concept of ”Family Head,” Old Master Ji Feng crafted a secretive and strict line, thereby preserving a secret, a sentence left by Him.

A message for the future gatherers in the warehouse.

...

So was using the research assistant for testing successfully a matter of slight coincidence?

Even though Ji Family descendants are not all able to interpret the headband?

Miss Liushuang turns out to be the chosen one, and he found her on the first try?

Indeed, never underestimate the wisdom of humanity.

If the speculation is true, Elder Ji Feng’s utilization of bloodline power can be considered very imaginative, no wonder he has such a rich inner world.

And validating it shouldn’t be hard; simply find another Ji Family person and toss them the headband to see if they can hear the sound...

What an exhilarating brainstorm, visiting the Unseen Hillock again is truly rewarding.

Even as knowledge preparation before the Sea of Ashes research expedition, it’s quite suitable.

Don’t forget the message in the headband from the elder is ”Divine Road severed, Ash to ladder.”

[Today’s task is completed, you may leave the warehouse, current week’s progress 1/4]

Filled with sentiment, Fu Qian stood up, as the prompt echoed timely by his ear.
