With the help of Tower Spirit and Earth Elf.
Lin Suo was finally rescued from the lifelong career of "Daddy".
Little Thea became the little mistress of the Earth Elves and also the group’s darling.
No need for Lin Suo to attend to her meticulously and laboriously.
She is still young, and when she grows up a few more years, then she can be personally tutored to prevent going astray.
Little Thea is like a human with "super male 47XYY genes", naturally possessing negative factors. Without proper guidance, she would truly become a Reverse Girl.
This point, he would never be careless with.
The moving method of the mobile Wizard Tower underground is quite interesting. It’s as if it has harnessed the Power of Earth, turning everything it passes into sand soil that divides automatically.
The Element Pool silently provides energy.
Lin Suo arrived at the nearest space fluctuation point.
This is a forest terrain, the ground covered with thick blood-colored soil and leaves, giant maggots squirming their greasy bodies, arching in search for decaying food.
This reminded Lin Suo of the pets of the Giant Beast Family from the North Sea.
Besides these maggots, there are plenty of demon wolves wandering about, and the tree canopies are home to temporary nests of Blood-sucking Demon Birds.
Bloody and emitting a stench of decay.
Lin Suo activated the All-Purpose Ball and swiftly flew out.
Hunting these demons, Lin Suo wasn’t actually doing it for points, but to collect some demon tissues for genetic analysis.
That will definitely be useful in the future.
Gathering points on a large scale will have to wait until the Synthetic Beast Army has matured.
The Wizard Tower has just been constructed.
Mainly here to practice, to check if there are any deficiencies in the circulation system.
Enough for him to roam.
As for his own Rank, there is no rush; his physique is soaring as if sitting on a rocket, while the Wizard’s Rank takes much longer to rise, but that’s also sufficient. When the Demon Spirit Shark awakens, that’s when he’ll truly exert his strength.
Scorching flames spew from Lin Suo’s mouth, quickly killing a large swath of maggots with a high-temperature fan-shaped area. The Blood-sucking Demon Birds are startled, flying to evade, then gathering a bloody storm to attack him...
At the old site of the Tasu Capital.
Three Nine Ring Wizards from Tasu stand above the great abyss, faces extremely unsightly.
The Tasu people have six Nine Ring Wizards in total.
A month ago, they were obliterated by Duke of Disaster with a Forbidden Curse without any resistance.
This made them, who have been guarding the Elemental College, feel fear and fury.
"How could he dare..."
Hiding for a month, seeing that Duke of Disaster didn’t come for them.
Only then did they dare to come to the Capital to check the situation.
"Even the ordinary people have been killed to the last..."
"Desulom this fellow has committed a taboo! So willingly slaughtering his own kind!!"
"The Wizard General Association has clear regulations against massacre of cities."
"That... esteemed seniors, may I say a word?"
Among these three, two are white-haired old Wizards, one appears as a middle-aged Wizard.
Hearing this, the two old Wizards nod in agreement.
"Shane, although you’re not a high-born of Tasu, now Tasu has only three Nine Ring Wizards left, this is our true foundation."
"I and Bai Jia can decide to raise your status to high-born, the future of Tasu still depends on you!"
"Right, right, right, feel free to speak your mind."
Shane, the middle-aged Wizard.
His body shows utmost respect, but the indifference in his eyes is hardly hidden.
"I was thinking... is there a possibility..."
"I mean, possibly, that Desulom, and maybe Ice Plain, Silver Star, Thousand Islands, never considered us as humans at all?"
Bai Jia and the other old Wizard, Tusoc, became somewhat annoyed.
As if someone had lifted their last veil of modesty.
"How is that possible!"
"They will seek justice for us!"
Shane was speechless, if he weren’t part of Tasu, he really wouldn’t want to be involved with these two who relied on their seniority to assert themselves.
Without any real power, yet still fond of playing the seniority card.
He couldn’t help but shout out loud.
"Stop dreaming, they never saw us as human in the first place, don’t you know the situation for Wizards?"
"But... but we are after all Nine Ring Wizards, truly standing at the pinnacle of the continent!"
"Nine Rings? Hehe... still mere ants."
"Those elite graduates from the Four Great Colleges, where did they go, can’t you guess a bit?"
"Shane! Don’t be too presumptuous, you are but a low-born."
"Continue and you can forget about being promoted to high-born for the rest of your life!"
At such a time, still joining hands to suppress this newcomer, Shane was speechless.
When conversation failed, and seeing as these two fools didn’t know what’s good for them, there’s no one else to blame for their seeking a path to their own demise.
He was still young, with more potential to realize.
How could he be willing to accompany a foolish race towards extinction?!
Just when he was about to leave,
An extremely horrifying fluctuation descended.
A blood-colored mist slowly rose from the depths of the abyss, gradually coalescing into a tall and handsome humanoid species.
It was the Vampire Ancestor, an existence above the Ninth Ring!
Eternal Night King— "Byron Herbert Eternal Night"
The last name was added by himself,
To prove his independence from his original identity and to establish his own clan.
His sudden appearance
Caused the three Nine Ring Wizards of Tasu to be filled with panic because... this was his true form.
The Eternal Night King had truly awakened from his slumber!
"Eternal Night, sir!"
This guy was the only one who had left the Wizards, achieved Legendary status, and founded Crimson Witchcraft on his own.
Both his strength and wisdom were extraordinary.
The power of the Blood Clan was much stronger than Tasu, and had there not been the condition of his slumber, conquering the land of Tasu would have been easy.
In the face of their reverence, Byron seemed quite pleased.
"You’re called Shane, right? You’re somewhat clever. How about you join the Blood Clan and work for me?"
The two elderly Wizards exchanged glances, immediately starting to fawn.
"Eternal Night, sir, we two are also willing to serve the noble Blood Clan."
But Byron didn’t even bother to look at them, talking to himself instead.
"A month ago, I received a message from your Emperor, rushed over from the Nightfall Sea Area, but unfortunately, I was too late."
"You’ve always wanted to know the hidden secrets of those overlord forces, haven’t you?"
"I can tell you for certain."
"Padolon... is about to be destroyed; traveling to the starry sky is the only way to survive."
Shane struggled, mustering up the courage to question.
"I know about the starry sky, one can leave Padolon alone, so why must one join the Blood Clan?"
The two old Wizards nearly kneeled on the spot, afraid that Shane would continue his retort.
But Byron was not angered.
There were too many in the Blood Clan who flocked to the powerful; occasionally seeing one or two who dared to speak for themselves was quite appreciated. He faintly explained,
"I come from the starry sky; without a Star Gate, you can’t leave the elusive Star Sea, in the silent expanse of Ruins, the solo journey of the ignorant is but a joke.
You’ll reach the end of your life and not encounter another living being."
Shane was stunned, exclaiming in disbelief,
"You come from the starry sky?!"
"For four thousand years, I was but a droplet of Original Blood, captured by the old fellows of the Silver Star Alliance, sent to Padolon for research. After my escape, I destroyed their communication equipment."
"It caused them to be unable to establish contact with the starry sky for two thousand years. By the time communication was restored, I had already broken through to become Legendary and they couldn’t hold onto me anymore."
So it turns out, the legends are utterly unreliable.
Not even a single punctuation mark is true.
"Then your purpose in wanting Tasu..."
"When the demonic surge fully erupts, follow me to invade the main city of the Silver Star Alliance and snatch away a Star Gate."
Shane’s eyes flickered indecisively, and, biting the bullet, he agreed.
The rule of the Blood Clan was like a pyramid.
Moreover, once the top stone is removed,
The whole pyramid collapses.
The moment the Eternal Night King dies, all his descendants will be severely weakened, unable to live much longer and will naturally perish.
Under the current circumstances, he simply couldn’t refuse; the three of them were definitely going to be transformed into the Blood Clan.
The two old Wizards still wanted to speak.
With an awkward laugh, the two gave up the thought and became docile.
Byron, with the blood mist dispersing, left behind his last words,
"Wait for the Crow-man and Dan Dong to start a full-scale war; the Silver Star and Ice Plain will surely send support. Seize this moment to initiate an attack from the west first."
"Your subordinates understand, bidding farewell to the Ancestor!" ×3
After sending Byron off, the three looked at each other.
The people of Tasu... were likely to become cannon fodder to attract the main forces of the Silver Star.
Shane pondered for a moment, feeling that he couldn’t just drift along.
"Dean Bai Jia, Vice Dean Tusoc, the Thousand Island Country is relatively fragmented; how about we go and raid part of the population, using them as the vanguard when the war begins?"
"Try to minimize Tasu casualties, Shane, you truly are born with the makings of a great leader!"
