Chapter 182: Crimson True Organization: Wait a Moment, Is My Ancestor Dating My Unworthy Descendant?

Three hours after Dian Huo left the Shadowlands.

The palace gates slowly opened.

Big Boss walked out slowly with his hands behind his back, his head held high, a smile of sunlight on his face.

He was dressed very formally today: a white high-collared shirt as an undershirt, a black double-breasted long robe over it, slim-fit suit trousers, and a pair of polished leather shoes.

His hair was not left down in bangs as usual, but combed up to reveal his forehead, looking like an adult.

There was no way around it; today was the day for dinner with his mother-in-law.

As Tata's master's disciple and master, he had to dress more solemnly.

"Cough cough."

After a light dry cough twice, all the demons in the entire Shadowlands put down their hoes in an instant.

They rushed over at the fastest speed and gathered together.

Nearly four thousand demons who had committed heaven-defying great sins stood neatly together like this, shouting loudly like a mob: "Welcome Shisi·Adult back to his post!"

Such a strange scene had not happened once before, except when the Abyssal Army invaded the Tianming Continent and the gods mustered their troops.

The Guard Captain and Wu Likun standing at the front of the line looked at these demons' demon speed and smiled with satisfaction.

Truly, these demon soldiers trained by the two of them for a day and a night were very characteristic of them.

A prisoner who does not want to improve is not a good demon soldier.

"Everyone, you did well." Big Boss said with his hands behind his back, praising them: "Not only did you complete the wedding venue for me and Transcendent Fire Lady in a day and a night, but you also exceeded my rude requirements."

That's right; after thinking about having dinner with his mother-in-law, Big Boss had Wu Likun and the Guard Captain lead these demons to draw a Blood Clan Sacrifice Array on top of the Territory Forging Array.

Of course, this array was given to him by the Crimson True Ancestor, the most concealed and rarest summoning array.

It was a secret transmission that only the leaders of the Blood Clan could know.

These demons had not yet reached the level to touch such forbidden arrays, so of course they could not recognize what this thing was.

Of course, Big Boss obtaining this secret transmission could not be considered undeserving.

After all, among the descendants the True Ancestor could currently contact, only Tata Master remained.

Rounding up, Big Boss was the leader of the Blood Clan.

Most importantly, this sacrifice array had an isolating effect; people outside the ritual could not perceive at all what happened inside the ritual.

It was most suitable for Big Boss to secretly eat behind Transcendent Fire Lady's back.

"Not hard, not hard!" Wu Likun hurriedly knelt on one knee: "These things are all what we should do."

"That's right!" The Guard Captain also knelt down together with his newly sworn brother: "Serving Shisi Adult, we would go through fire and water, sparing nothing!"

"Hmm, you two are quite loyal." Big Boss nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the other demons: "Alright, you all did well; then next, I should give you some rewards."

Hearing these words, the faces of these demons all showed expressions of ecstatic joy.

They worked so hard, wasn't it because Wu Likun and the Guard Captain promised that as long as they did well, they could obtain harvests they couldn't even imagine?

These demons who had just come to the Shadowlands had already begun to fantasize about what rewards they would receive.

Was it directly restoring their freedom?

Or reducing their sentences?

Or being able to unlock the handcuffs that restricted their strength? Of course, rewarding you to become my firewood, Big Boss thought to himself.

"Cough cough, then……"

He clapped his hands again, and Luo Tian, dressed in an attendant's outfit, carried a table on his shoulder and dragged two chairs in his hand, walking out of the palace.

He carefully arranged the tables and chairs, spread the tablecloth, poured red wine into a decanter, and then prepared to leave.

"Luo Tian, don't go yet."

"Ah, Brother Shisi... Master, do you have any orders?" Luo Tian stood aside trembling with fear.

Although the other demons all said he was already Shisi's close friend and would soon rise to great heights.

But he himself had no such feeling; in front of Big Boss, he simply did not dare to speak loudly.

Even now he hardly dared to call him Brother Shisi as he had before.

"Hmm, you don't need to go down; when I have dinner with that lady, I also need an attendant." Big Boss smiled gently.

"Yes, Adult." Luo Tian hurriedly stood respectfully aside.

Meanwhile, Wu Likun and the Guard Captain below, seeing this scene, had their mouths nearly turn sour.

In their view, being able to serve Big Boss at close range was a symbol of honor.

Just like now, they knelt below the stage while Luo Tian stood on the stage.

This was the gap in rank.

The two looked at each other and secretly made up their minds in their hearts that they must get along well with Luo Tian.

"By the way, Brother Kun, Shisi Adult said he would have dinner with that lady; it should be Dian Huo Adult, right?" the Guard Captain transmitted via voice.

"That's naturally the case; Shisi Adult being able to attach himself to Dian Huo Adult is already a blessing cultivated for a hundred lifetimes. If such a thing happened to me, it would truly be the pinnacle of glorifying the ancestors!" Wu Likun said without hesitation:

"Since it's like this, Shisi Adult, surely he can't be secretly eating behind Dian Huo Adult's back and dating other women, right?"

"Hmm, what you say makes sense." The Guard Captain also nodded.

After all, this was Dian Huo Adult's territory; even if Shisi Da Er had more guts, he wouldn't dare to secretly eat in this place, right? The two were pondering when suddenly they felt a dizzying sensation.

Immediately, a gray-white thick mist spread from beneath their feet; this mist was different from ordinary mist—sticky, heavy, damp, and warm.

It was as if they were not in the mist, but in the silent deep sea where they could not open their eyes.

Their brains were captured by the mist; they could see nothing and hear nothing.

Only an inexplicable fear arose, making them tremble and shiver.

The surge of adrenaline covered Wu Likun's forehead with beads of sweat; he laboriously opened his mouth and panted heavily.

His blood-filled eyes almost swelled out of their sockets; that heavy breathing, together with the other demons', formed a terrifying symphony.

Just like that, in the midst of this melody, Wu Likun spoke up.

He tilted his head back, hands clawing at his own eye sockets, voice trembling: "I, I seem to see the starry sky, a blood-colored starry sky……"

"Brother Kun, what are you saying, what starry sky could there be, this is the Shadowlands, it's a cave in the Abyss's bottom layer——" The Guard Captain's words stopped halfway, coming to an abrupt halt.

Because his raised head, too, saw that horrifying sight——

A starry sky composed entirely of crimson.

Countless brilliant stars, scattered like chess pieces, emitting a dazzling yet gentle light.

But under the rendering of that entire crimson expanse, that light appeared so eerie and bizarre.

The most terrifying thing was, in the midst of such a blood-colored starry sky.

A lady wearing a blood-red long robe was gazing at them.

That gaze held no emotional color whatsoever.

But merely at the instant of being seen, the trembling on their bodies expanded countless times over.

Goosebumps covered their whole bodies, numb scalps rendering them almost unable to think; amidst the hair-raising horror, they couldn't even see that lady's face clearly, and just like that unconsciously prostrated themselves on the ground.

"This…… this exactly, is what……"

"Such divine might…… this is…… a god……"

"Damn it……"

"Has the Shadowlands been breached……"

Although Dian Huo is powerful, her rank has not reached Demigod.

Therefore, the demon race looking directly at her would not produce much in the way of side effects.

But the Scarlet True Ancestor is different; she is a true Demigod, not much distance remaining from a True God.

And the Sacrifice Array Li Cheng used today is the most terrifying Summoning God Array in the Blood Clan's secret transmissions.

It can be said, what he summoned today was not the Scarlet True Ancestor's ordinary projection, but a projection carrying divinity.

In other words, judging from the entrance alone, it was not inferior even to the Scarlet True Ancestor's true body.

The demon race's sobbing voices rose and fell continuously, and that lady also walked down from the blood-colored starry sky.

That's right, not flying down, but walking down.

Her high heels lightly stepped in the void, each step stirring ripples.

Elegant like a cat.

And the direction of her advance, besides the dining table where Li Cheng was, where else could it be? She stopped right in front of Li Cheng, a look of doubt and surprise on her face.

And Li Cheng looked at her too, slowly walking to the other side and gentlemanly pulling out a chair for her: "Then, Scarlet True Ancestor Adult, thank you for honoring the appointment."

Down below, Wu Likun and the Guard Captain, having perceived this scene, were completely stunned.

Not Dian Huo Adult?

Not Dian Huo Adult!

This Outer God, visiting here, actually came to have dinner with Xiu Si Da Er?!

A Demigod coming to honor a mortal's invitation, what that means, all the demon race know.

At this moment, not merely Wu Likun and the Guard Captain.

All the demon race, felt their worldviews suffer an impact.

They originally thought, Li Cheng clinging to Dian Huo Adult was already his limit.

Never expected, he actually clung to a deity as well!

Although she's an Outer God, she's still a genuine, bona fide deity! The most terrifying thing is, this Xiu Si Da Er, on the eve of his wedding with Dian Huo, actually openly invited such a deity as a guest.

What are you doing? The Ultimate Bachelor Party Plan?

Others' bachelor nights, at most just go to a bar for an impart, but you……

You actually……

Want to f*ck a deity! At this moment, Wu Likun no longer knew what expression to use to look at Li Cheng.

He suddenly realized, the Progress Method he had pondered before had already become obsolete.

Sucking up to leaders, sucking up to superiors, is it useful? It's useful.

But compared to Xiu Si Da Er, it's completely useless!

The true Progress God should be like Mr. Xiu Si Da Er, a genius capable of clinging to two ladies simultaneously!

An idol, this is a real idol.

Blood tears of extreme envy flowed from the corners of his eyes.

And the Guard Captain held a different view from Wu Likun.

He lay prostrate on the ground, his peripheral vision scanning Li Cheng and the Scarlet True Ancestor.

The deity's oppression made his soul tremble incomparably, but simultaneously, another thought surfaced in his mind.

Is it really Xiu Si Da Er who clung to Dian Huo Adult?

If that's truly the case, how would he dare go on a date with another deity behind Dian Huo Adult's back? A mortal, is he really not afraid of being burned to ashes by flames?

He recalled, the first time meeting Xiu Si Adult, what he sensed from him was that killing intent only possible from slaughtering countless lives.

And looking at him now, elegantly smiling, inviting a deity to dinner. A thought even more terrifying, one he didn't even dare face, welled up.

It's not Xiu Si Adult who clung to Dian Huo Adult, but Dian Huo Adult who clung to Xiu Si Adult.

This Adult has actually been hiding his strength all along.

He is a deity who games the mortal world; whether Dian Huo or this Outer God before him, in reality, are both his playthings.

He is the one……

With the highest identity and status in this Shadowlands.

If that is the case, then everything can be explained.

Master Xiu Si wants to date this deity, so Dian Huo Adult doesn't even dare to fart, and leaves here in a dejected manner, giving the two of them space.

That Outer God Adult is the same; with one summons from Master Xiu Si, she must come over immediately, without the slightest negligence.

The moment this thought emerged, it was branded into his mind, and could no longer be dispelled.

At the same time, his gaze toward Big Boss also became incomparably reverent.

That was not the reverence for a big shot, but a devoutness as if looking at a god.

And, fear, from the deepest part of the soul, an indescribable fear.

He reached out his hand, tugged Wu Likun beside him: "Brother Kun, kneel properly, don't raise your head."

"You, what's wrong with you?" Wu Likun was puzzled.

"Kneel properly, that's it." The Guard Captain's whole body was trembling, as if saying these few sentences had already used up all his strength.

"Uh, okay..." Wu Likun didn't dare ask further, and also prostrated himself on the ground.

On the other side, the Crimson Progenitor has already taken her seat.

"Progenitor Adult, today you are even more elegant and beautiful than usual." Big Boss shakes the decanter, pouring that blood-like red grape wine into a high-stemmed glass.

He is not flattering, but sincerely praising.

Today's Crimson Progenitor is indeed very pretty.

If using mobile game player terms, it's that the Crimson Progenitor changed into a limited skin.

She wears a blood-red evening dress, tailored entirely to her figure, completely fitting her graceful and juicy body curves while not being overly astringent, instead carrying an elegant contrast.

On a pair of fair arms without any visible veins, she wears a pair of black lace sleeve cuffs, and below the slit hem of that evening dress, is also a pair of stockings of the same material.

Her slender beautiful legs, set off by the red evening dress and black silk stockings, appear so captivating, not to mention those juicy beautiful toes stepping inside high heels.

On the face above such an elegant and captivating beauty, the expression is also more solemn than usual.

Those features, seven or eight parts similar to Tata's, have clearly undergone meticulous grooming; outside ruby-like eyes are paired with black half-eyeliner and earth-toned eyeshadow, the nose bridge deliberately highlighted and contoured to look more three-dimensional, cute canine teeth revealed outside vermilion lips,

completely lacking the usual dissipation and playfulness, instead incomparably dignified.

With Big Boss's acting experience, he sees at a glance that this one put a lot of thought into this getup.

But this is a game after all; I just sent the invitation, and this one completed the transformation.

If placed in the real world, without ten-odd hours, there's simply no way to pull off such a look.

The Crimson Progenitor put so much thought into dining with me, Big Boss is very satisfied.

But she put so much thought into dining with me, Big Boss is very dissatisfied.

No, you are my mother-in-law, why dress up so nicely? You wouldn't be trying to seduce Disciple Tata, would you? So disappointing! And the Crimson Progenitor looks at Big Boss, big eyes, big doubt.

That's right, today she indeed dressed up specially; this outfit took nearly twenty hours.

Almost tired to death.

As for why she was already dressed the instant she was summoned.

It's because she has a relic called Time Pause Makeup Room; as long as she does makeup inside, the time flow is different from outside.

As for why she applied such solemn formal makeup, carefully selected the evening dress on her body, even the underwear was meticulously chosen.

Of course not because she wants to seduce her stupid descendant, but because when she was summoned, she perceived an aura that should not exist.

That is a feeling.

A feeling, as if she was born because of that aura.

As if it is the feeling of the origin of all Blood Clan.

At that moment, the Crimson Progenitor trembled.

Before her, the Blood Clan had a total of seven Progenitors, who shed mortal shackles and became True Gods.

Those Progenitors have all ascended, left this dimension, and can no longer be contacted.

Among these ancestors, the Sixth and the Seventh, the Crimson Progenitor has met; the others, she never had the chance to know.

But she is very clear, the Blood Clan race originated from the First Progenitor who went to another dimension.

In other words, the person summoning her.

Is very likely that First True Ancestor.

So, she dressed so formally, applied makeup so thoroughly, and didn't even use the form larger than the world to descend.

You must know, the Crimson Progenitor most likes to descend in that state.

After all, from that perspective, the person summoning her can only see the parts above her neck.

So, she doesn't need to dress up, doesn't need to wear shoes.

Can even not wear pants.

Simply too easy.

Unlike now, dressing up for twenty hours, going out only to stay a few minutes.

If not for feeling that when meeting one's ancestor, having one's head larger than the ancestor's body is really too inappropriate, the Crimson Progenitor would definitely still have descended in that posture.

At the same time, she is also very doubtful, very curious.

All Progenitors who went to another dimension have never returned.

So, the Crimson Progenitor really wants to know, that other dimension, the dimension where that True God resides, what kind of world it is.

And why, this origin of all Blood Clan, the First True Ancestor, would return to this world.

Could it be, that the world where that deity resides, something happened? Carrying such doubts, she answered the summons.

And then...

She saw Big Boss.

Honestly, the moment she saw Big Boss, the Crimson Progenitor collapsed.

Her first reaction was that her curiosity about the world where the gods resided had affected her judgment, causing her perception to go wrong.

She gave a self-mocking smile, sat down, prepared to say a few opening lines, then finish dinner, and hurry back to remove her makeup.

But after sitting like that for a while, the Crimson Progenitor felt something was off.

The Bloodline Origin emanating from Big Boss not only did not weaken, but instead grew stronger and stronger.

Staying by his side, the Crimson Progenitor not only felt he smelled very fragrant, but also felt a nervousness when facing a superior.

Correct, a Demigod facing a Third-Rank Mage actually felt nervous.

The Crimson Progenitor really couldn't hold back anymore.

She didn't even dare to look directly into Big Boss's eyes, only daring to steal glances at him from time to time, using her perception.

At the same time, the doubt in her heart grew stronger and stronger.

Could this Big Boss really be her own ancestor? This... impossible? And if he really was her progenitor, why didn't he tell her?

That doesn't make sense either.

And Big Boss also couldn't hold back anymore.

This was the most awkward time since he summoned the Crimson Progenitor.

This mother-in-law, putting on such solemn makeup was one thing.

But she didn't know what was going on; ever since arriving here, she had been stealing glances at him like a maiden in love.

And blushing from time to time...

No, what are you blushing for like a bubble teapot?

In your eyes, shouldn't I be your descendant's boyfriend, an Important Figure carrying the Bloodline Prosperity Plan to make the Blood Clan greater? What are you doing now? Are you trying to sleep with your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-granddaughter? You despicable thing! Even if you want to sleep with her, wait until I've learned all the Abstract Magic on her before you sleep with her!

By then, I'll reluctantly not resist.

At worst, just treat it as being * by the * dog back then.

"Um, Progenitor Adult." "Um, Big Boss."

Two voices sounded at the same time, and stopped in unison.

Li Chenghe and the Crimson Progenitor looked at each other, both inexplicably a bit embarrassed.

Finally, Big Boss broke the silence first: "Um, Progenitor Adult, it's time to eat; are you satisfied with the dinner I prepared for you?"

"Mm..." the Crimson Progenitor looked at the Demon Race members prostrating below the stairs and said slowly: "Nearly four thousand Demon Race members, hm, all at least Fifth Rank, heh, I have to say, I am very satisfied."

"Satisfied is good, shall we eat now?"

"Mm... before that..."

The Crimson Progenitor thought for a moment, and still decided to figure out exactly what happened, figure out exactly what Term Art Big Boss used to affect her.

Or was there something in this Place affecting her judgment?

This was very important to the Crimson Progenitor.

She worried that a hostile Demigod was trying to destroy her possibility of ascending to godhood.

As for Big Boss being her ancestor...

Heh, that was absolutely impossible.

Thus, the Crimson Progenitor suddenly reached out and gripped Big Boss's arm.

【Concept Art · Peep Fate · Origin】

【A Concept Level ability to seek the source of life; when used, requires paying lifespan as a price.】

The next moment, surging waves rose in her mind.

A Crimson Giant Dragon soaring endlessly under the Blood Moon opened its Vertical Pupils toward her.

It was a pair of blood-red eyes carrying infinite oppression and terror.

It was the Origin Eye of all Blood Clan.

In that instant,

the Crimson Progenitor's Soul trembled.

Her thoughts went numb.

Her existence was interfered with.

Her mouth trembled open:

"Tr... truly..."

"You."
