Inheriting a Lost Bloodline, My First Task is to have heirs?!

Chapter 55: Chapter 55 - The New World Tree Realm 2

Location: Aeterdumnox, Land of Blood Demons and Dark Elves

In this world of eternal night, though only two races live in it, the peace was only superficial. The two races drew a clear line between two territories and they did not speak to each other unless the situation was dire. They all have their problems to handle and they don’t have the energy to meddle with the lives of others.

Currently, each race was already very few in numbers. There’s less than 100 for each race and a fight will just further decrease that number so it was deemed useless. There is also not much that each race owns so what is there to fight about. Their mana and healing abilities are not that strong anymore and this made them miserable.

For the first time since their births, they started to feel pain, they get wounded and bleed, the healing process was extremely slow, they get sick and feeding has been almost impossible. Their mana isn’t enough to hide their real countenance and walking in the places where other races live will simply be suicide.

Blood demons feed with blood and life essences of other races while dark elves feed with desires and mana of other races. For both of these races, lust from intimate relations is specifically the best for satiety and the best way to get it is through consensual sex but that in itself is not readily available. It was hard since their food has to be given to them with consent. They have been barely surviving from scraps while hiding in this place.

Some of them who were more desperate sold themselves as slaves and pets for other races. Some started working in the red light districts just to survive. They don’t even try to reproduce anymore due to this situation and they have been in this desperate situation since the previous World Tree Realm disappeared.

When the world tree was still there, just the amount of mana it produces is enough to satiate all the races that live in its realm. Now that it was gone, they are just living day to day, literally almost starving to death. Would this earthquake signify that a savior has come to get them out of this desperate and filthy cycle of their lives?

Location: Zanahavre, Land of Fairies

The young fairies, pixies and sprites just held hands, hugged each other, closed their eyes and cried while the huge tremors were happening. The elders formed a circle around the young ones protecting them from whatever dangers may come, not that they can do much if this is really the end for this world. Honestly, the first thing that came to their mind was the world is ending and everybody will die. Luckily, the tremors stopped after a minute or so.

The place they were living in is technically in another realm separated through the space mana attribute. It was created using the mana and lives of their ancestors. They created this world to ensure that the other races will not be able to find them and further decimate their numbers.

Being small and cute has always attracted slave traders and evil collectors, human and other races alike. Adding to the fact that they can use elemental magic, those that were kidnapped before never came back. Their life orbs that exist in their garden of life dissipated gradually one by one which means that wherever they were taken, they suffered, their life essences leaving their bodies gradually until they died.

After the tremors stopped, they secured their people back into their homes while the elders among fairies representing each family had a meeting to share their thoughts about this phenomenon. They couldn’t help but think of that prophecy that their ancestors have written in the old records.

They hurriedly went back to their library of ancient scripts to confirm their guess. After going through several records, they confirmed that this tremor is the first sign of the prophecy coming true. Is Eieneos rebuilding itself? Is the new empress finally here? Is there hope of a new haven to appear for their young ones and families?

Location: Gollmortha, Land of the Giants

They are no longer the giants from the myths and ancient stories. For one, their previous ethereal strength and size has greatly decreased. They still have the bulky and muscular bodies as well as their tall statures compared to most of the other races averaging from at least 6 feet tall and up but beyond that, they are as human as anybody else.

They get sick and die. They starve and suffer. They have felt desperation as their numbers dwindle year after year. Without their vitality and will to live, their race would have ceased to exist a long time ago.

They have learned different crafts and jobs to earn money to feed their families. They used their huge bodies for labor intensive work such as mining, farming, hunting, and lifting cargo at the ports. They have done everything just to live.

They are still lucky that once every few decades, a child is born for their race but still, their lifespans have been shortened so it doesn’t help that much. The children born have become smaller, weaker, some even sickly. Whether they admit it or not, they know that they are withering away.

This earthquake has shaken the hopelessness and their toxic thinking of just surviving day-to-day out of their weary bodies. This is the first sign mentioned in the prophecy.

******** ******** ********

I honestly do not know how long I was knocked out. Pushing out 90% of my mana in one blast that goes ”BOOM” is definitely not the best of my ideas in both lives. I am not defending my stupidity (well, I guess I will still try) but giving it my all than doing the bare minimum then not being able to open the new realm is worse in my mind. I did leave 10% to save my life at least.

When I opened my eyes, all I can see was nothingness around me. My eyes can only see up to 3 meters around me and it seems like my body is the only thing that emits light here. Not that I am expecting a marvelous realm with the current mana I have fed it but there isn’t anything but the ground, huh?

I tried walking forward for about a few meters but the area did not change, whether its the terrain or the surrounding atmosphere. The source of light which was me, simply shifted and lighted a different area. The place where I was standing before is already pitch black.

Since this is how horror movies start, just to be sure, I used my mana to probe the place around me. I was able to reach about ten kilometers out but this territory doesn’t seem to have a border or an end. There was not a single being except me in this realm.

While trying to venture further, as if protesting about me saying that nothing else is alive here, I felt my body heating up and then something in my storage started vibrating like crazy. I closed my eyes, raised my hand forward with my right palm up and called to whatever was vibrating to come to the palm of my hand.

When I opened my eyes, I could see the world tree seed glowing in golden light, illuminating my surroundings to about five meters around. I was finally able to see the scorched earth and rocky ground. It totally looked like land that died after a dragon breathed fire into it. Not a single grass is around. Is this realm even able to support my little seed?

After the world tree seed came out, it floated from the top of my palm on its own and then pushed more light to the surroundings. This time, it is about 10 meters out and I can see more of the burnt ground. The seed then suddenly floated back to my palm and kept nuzzling it as if it wants to go inside my hand. It doesn’t hurt but it was a bit itchy and it is starting to make me feel ticklish.

I closed my hand a bit to keep it in place and talked to it like a child, ”Hey, little guy. What are you trying to do?” I then poked the seed with the index finger of my left hand.

It nuzzled my finger this time. I talked to it again, ”You’re naughty just like me, aren’t you?” It moved up and down like nodding to my question. I couldn’t help but giggle because of it.

After giggling for quite a bit, I talked to the seed and said, ”I think I know what you need from me. You want us to be able to talk right?” The seed nodded again.

I conjured about 5 of my blood orbs since I don’t know how much it would need. I then popped all of the orbs on top of the seed. Even before the seed could be stained red, it absorbed it in a blink of an eye. I felt a connection to it like how my soul connected with Ioannis and Kayden through the wooden plank.

Afterwards, I heard a cute young boy’s voice that said, ”I like this new realm you made for me, wife.” Huh? Did I mishear it? Did it just say WIFE?
