Dongbo Xueying teleported through the void repeatedly, discovering several life-bearing planets along the way. He even probed the memories of a deity-level being! With his mastery, he could effortlessly delve into the mind of such a being without causing the slightest harm or alerting them.
“Whoosh.”
Dongbo Xueying appeared in the starry expanse, gazing at a massive planet in the distance.
“What exactly is going on in this universe?” The more memories he probed, the more perplexed he became.
“There’s a being on this planet roughly at the Three Heavens Realm God level. Given his higher strength, he should know more.” Dongbo Xueying observed the colossal planet before him, spanning nearly ten million miles in diameter—already sizable among countless celestial bodies. It housed sprawling palace complexes and was home to the native lifeforms of this universe.
“Only about ten thousand clansmen in total.” Dongbo Xueying shook his head slightly.
Previously, he had encountered many life-bearing planets, but the populations of native beings were sparse—some with only a few dozen, others a few hundred. This planet, though vast and hosting a Three Heavens Realm God, had merely over ten thousand inhabitants.
Yet there was one striking detail—even newborn infants here were all transcendent beings!
“Whoosh.” Dongbo Xueying vanished silently, infiltrating the planet.
…
On the planet, a group of children clad in shorts darted through the air at blinding speeds, laughing and roughhousing mid-flight.
“Bam!” One child kicked another, sending them flying over ten miles, taunting, “Haha, did you not eat enough? You’ve got no strength!”
Another child seized the moment to ambush the first with lightning speed.
Soon, the children were entangled in a chaotic brawl, their movements swift as lightning. Even a half-step deity from the Xia Clan World would likely be overwhelmed by these youngsters.
Meanwhile—
The planet’s strongest being, a green-scaled man, was deep in conversation with an elderly green-scaled figure. They bore striking similarities—both covered in emerald scales, their backs adorned with sharp spines, their eyes gleaming gold.
“Second Brother,” the elder said solemnly, “I don’t have much time left. I came to see you to ask for your protection over my family’s children.”
“Brother, it’s not over yet. Your bloodline could awaken again,” the green-scaled man replied. “You’re the last of my brothers. Don’t give up so easily.”
“I know, but my body is already aging—” Before he could finish—
An illusory realm descended.
Both the green-scaled man and the elder fell into a deep slumber as a black-robed youth—Dongbo Xueying—stepped forward. Standing beside the man, he commanded, “Tell me, who are the most powerful beings in this universe? Do not speak their names, lest they sense it.”
“The strongest are the Three Great Emperors!” the man murmured, as if in a dream.
“Emperors?” Dongbo Xueying’s eyes gleamed. Earlier, the memories of lesser deities had only offered fragmented glimpses of True Gods.
“Are the Emperors True Gods?” he pressed. His primary concern was whether this universe’s pinnacle power lay within the True God realm.
“The Emperors surpass True Gods!” the man continued.
Dongbo Xueying’s heart clenched under an invisible pressure, but he pressed on.
…
Far across the universe, in another tranquil star system, a figure soared into the sky—a green-scaled man exuding immense power. Clad in simple silver armor, the intricate patterns on his exposed scales shimmered, his golden eyes radiating authority.
“Why is the life state of my descendant so peculiar?” The silver-armored man waved his hand, summoning a sleek warship. He stepped inside.
“Riiip—”
The warship tore through a spatial tunnel, hurtling forward.
…
Back on the planet, Dongbo Xueying continued extracting information, growing increasingly astounded. This Three Heavens Realm God-level being clearly possessed extensive knowledge of the universe.
“So… this is how it is.”
Dongbo Xueying finally understood.
In this universe, power was attained through bloodline awakening.
Much like the “Primordial Bloodline Awakening” in the Xia Clan World, after eons of evolution, even the lowest lifeforms here carried traces of the most supreme bloodlines. Thus, all had the potential to awaken to extraordinary heights. The offspring of powerful fathers inherited denser bloodlines, making them stronger, though this potency diluted over generations.
A single supreme expert could spawn an entire lineage of power.
Here, factions were built around bloodlines.
The strongest were the Three Emperor Bloodlines.
Next were the King Bloodlines.
Then came the True God Bloodlines. Anything lesser was insignificant.
The Three Emperor Bloodlines each boasted an Emperor—beings who transcended even Paragons, surpassing True Gods to reach a higher realm. From the Voidwalker’s legacy, Dongbo Xueying knew this next tier was called “Void God”—a universally acknowledged title, as beings of this level could traverse the primal chaos with their physical forms.
Three Void Gods!
The King-tier beings were Paragon-level True Gods, likely numerous in number.
True God Bloodlines all had at least one True God, with their total count likely exceeding ten thousand.
“Heavens.”
“This universe’s collective strength surpasses ours by dozens, if not a hundredfold?” Dongbo Xueying was stunned. His home universe had zero Void Gods, yet here there were three!
Here, cultivation was secondary—battle was preferred.
In combat, their bloodlines awakened more readily, each awakening bringing a monumental leap in power.
Dongbo Xueying relayed all this to the Black Gourd’s artifact spirit, seeking its insight.
“A bloodline cultivation system?”
The spirit was astonished. “A universe with such a system has formidable origins. Best not to provoke them.”
“Oh?” Dongbo Xueying was puzzled.
“Bloodline awakening is immensely difficult,” the spirit explained.
Dongbo Xueying nodded. Even his own Primordial Bloodline awakening had been arduous. In this universe, while most beings were transcendent, the ten thousand-plus True Gods were still a minuscule fraction of the cosmos’s countless lives. Comparatively, his home universe had hundreds of mighty experts.
“But bloodlines must have an origin,” the spirit continued. “The progenitor’s bloodline must be extraordinarily potent for descendants to awaken. Like how the Xia Clan World once birthed Primordial Beings, whose presence enabled the Primordial Bloodline.”
“For an entire universe to adopt bloodline cultivation, even producing Void Gods… the progenitor must be terrifyingly powerful. I suspect they created this universe.”
“Thus, the countless lives here have formidable backing—their progenitor. The universe’s time acceleration at over 3,000-fold suggests the progenitor desires to nurture more powerful descendants.”
Dongbo Xueying listened intently.
A bloodline cultivation system…
His own bloodline granted his descendants strength, but it could never sustain an entire cosmic lineage. Yet this universe’s “Progenitor” had achieved it.
“Compared to your Rule-Oblivion system, bloodline cultivation offers easier breakthroughs but has a major flaw: reaching the progenitor’s level is nearly impossible. Still, given their progenitor’s might, even approaching that tier is immensely formidable.”
The artifact spirit’s words left Dongbo Xueying deep in thought.
