Chapter 1649

Speaking of this, Director Ophiuchus paused slightly, then said with a hint of emotion:

"The two ancestors' idea should have been to hope to use these two items to constantly endow the descendants of the two kingdoms with fairness and heroism, to ensure their descendants would not 'deteriorate' and to make the two kingdoms better and better.

Unfortunately, although their thinking was good, people without enough courage wouldn't dare to do it even if they knew what fairness was, and people without a heart of fairness would just be reckless brutes no matter how brave they were. And with the physique of ordinary humans, without the blessing of the corresponding bloodline, it was impossible to accept two kinds of authority fragments at the same time.

So over the past many years, those who were anointed in the West Carlevin Kingdom, although they understood what was right, neither dared to do it nor could they do it, often spending their whole lives tormented by hatred for their own cowardice.

And those who were baptized in the East Carlevin Kingdom, although they gained the courage to challenge everything, didn't know what they should actually do. They either indulged in the slaughter in the gladiatorial arena or wasted their lives in confusion, and their ends were likewise not very good."

So that's it... no wonder so much ointment and pool water went unused.

Hearing this, Li Ang couldn't help but nod slightly subconsciously, then frowned and asked:

"So after discovering that anointing and baptism couldn't bring benefits but only brought pain and confusion, the ointment and pool water produced by these two things were slowly abandoned, and even these two things were stolen by you to be used as materials for the bloodline exchange ritual?"

No... what do you mean stolen? I took them openly, okay? Can you blame me if no one found out? Besides, I'm a direct descendant taking my ancestors' things, can that be called stealing?

Having been severely offended by Li Ang's question, Director Ophiuchus couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, then hummed with a hint of displeasure:

"In short, although these two things are useless, they have absorbed the beliefs of countless citizens of the East and West Carlevin Kingdoms over the past six thousand years and can barely serve as 'calibration objects' for the two kingdoms.

It just so happens that I need two things that can represent the East and West Carlevin Kingdoms, so I made them into the core of the bloodline exchange ritual and have maintained it until now... If the bloodline exchange ritual hadn't occupied a lot of my power, the two of you combined might not necessarily be able to beat me!"

"Enough, hurry up and get to work!"

Too lazy to bother with his old friend who was habitually stubborn, the red-haired Director moved closer to Li Ang, secretly sniffing his alluring "body fragrance," then urged:

"Hurry up and take out all that 【Heroic Water】 you collected and let Li Ang go in and soak."

"???"

"Are you crazy!"

Upon hearing the red-haired Director's words, Director Ophiuchus couldn't help but hiss, then pointed at Li Ang, his face full of disbelief:

"He's already brave enough as it is, and you're still letting him soak in heroic water? Are you worried he's not radical enough and won't be able to bear to wipe out the Cleanup Bureau in the future?"

"It's not as exaggerated as you say..."

After glaring at Director Ophiuchus, the red-haired Director explained:

"Although Li Ang hasn't chosen his authority yet, he has already crossed the threshold of a True God. And although the 【Heroism】 authority in the heroic water is vast, it's ultimately just fragments of authority and won't affect him."

"Then why are you..."

"I want him to make up for the missing authority fragments and add a portion of the 【Heroism】 authority bloodline."

Signaling Director Ophiuchus to take a look at Li Ang's hair, the red-haired Director continued:

"Don't you understand yet? Li Ang's bloodline exchange speed is similar to Vernon's, so his 【Heroism】 bloodline concentration shouldn't be low, perhaps even a line thicker than yours, a relatively inferior direct descendant."

"So when I imprint myself in the Origin God Platform, open the connection with the current world, and continue to exchange bloodlines, the 【Justice】 bloodline I exchange out will likely fall onto him."

"Oh, oh!"

Hearing this, Director Ophiuchus finally understood and said with a look of sudden realization:

"You're afraid that the 【Justice】 bloodline exchanged back will end up falling on me or someone else, and then be killed by the Slaughter King Society, leading to the severance of the West Carlevin Kingdom's bloodline. So you're simply using the baptismal pool to wash and strengthen his bloodline again to ensure it can finally fall on him?"

"Mm."

The red-haired Director nodded.

"I told you not to undo the Anomalous Incarnation secret technique and to bring the Lumen Church and the baptismal pool together; that's what I meant... Li Ang, there will likely be a lot of trouble after taking on this bloodline. Are you willing to go in and soak?" "I'm definitely willing."

Li Ang answered without hesitation:

"I've long been at odds with the Slaughter King Society. Regardless of whether I have this 【Justice】 bloodline or not, they will always want to get rid of me. And going in for a bath can actually bring quite a few benefits... *mm*..."

When he reached this point, Li Ang paused suddenly. A sports star with the surname Du flashed through his mind, and he looked toward the red-haired Director with suspicion in his eyes.

"Mm? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Nothing..."

Feeling that it shouldn't be that outrageous, Li Ang was silent for a moment, then shook his head and turned to look at Director Ophiuchus.

"How should I soak in the pool? Can you find a place to bring out the baptismal pool?"

"No need, just soak right here."

Director Ophiuchus said, while suddenly shrinking by a head.

Under Li Ang's surprised gaze, Director Ophiuchus's shoes strangely sank into the ground... or rather, melted into the ground. The plain white floor of the inner palace, which was engraved with scale patterns, actually kneaded together with his feet like milk and water.

!

And as the black color on Director Ophiuchus's shoes spread rapidly, a small baptismal pool, about four or five meters long and wide, and deep enough to reach the waist, "flowed" out from Director Ophiuchus's body and strangely "flowed" onto the floor.

"Never seen it before, right? This is the Ophiuchus Palace's 【Anomalous Incarnation】 secret technique, which can merge oneself with an Anomalous Object. In the last thousand years or so, I'm the only one who has been able to use it to this extent."

Seeing the surprised expression of Li Ang, who was able to suppress him, Director Ophiuchus, who had a desire to show off, couldn't help but feel a sense of relief in his heart. Then, while pouring water into the baptismal pool, he boasted with a hint of self-satisfaction:

"The difficulty of my Ophiuchus secret technique has always been the highest among the thirteen secret techniques, and the level each person can reach varies greatly. The weak ones can only merge with the few Anomalous Objects they are most familiar with, and the strength of the Anomalous Objects cannot be too high.

But if you master it to my level, you can merge with Anomalous Objects stronger than yourself, you can split yourself up and merge into multiple Anomalous Objects, and you can even merge into Anomalous Objects controlled by others.

Olivia wanted to learn it back then too, but unfortunately, her talent was a bit lacking and she had too many messy thoughts, making it impossible for her to synchronize with the Anomalous Objects, so..."

"Stop showing off your secret technique!"

After interrupting Director Ophiuchus, the red-haired Director said with a hint of dissatisfaction:

"What talent or lack thereof? You're just able to maintain a state of thinking about nothing for a long time, without any thoughts, so you won't be rejected by Anomalous Objects that have no consciousness... to put it bluntly, you're just too stupid! Your brain is too empty!"

"Nonsense!"

A bit annoyed by the red-haired Director's evaluation, Director Ophiuchus stopped pouring water and argued with glaring eyes:

"My mind is relatively simple! Simple! How could a truly stupid person learn the Ophiuchus secret technique? You're just jealous of me!"

"*Hehe*."

"Although you act very disdainful, you must be jealous of me in your heart!"

After humming at the red-haired Director, Director Ophiuchus nudged Li Ang, who was waiting to take a bath, and then said with a look of certainty:

"The Ophiuchus Palace's secret technique can only be learned by someone with a sincere heart like mine. People like you two, who have seventeen or eighteen holes in your hearts and have to turn several corners in your intestines before you can even fart, wouldn't be able to get through the door even if you learned until you died!"

"..."

"..."

No... why are you two looking at me? Is this plot a bit too cliché?

Watching the two of them, who had suddenly looked at him in unison after arguing for a few sentences, Li Ang couldn't help but be silent for a moment, then, under their two gazes filled with a hint of expectation, suggested with a speechless face:

"How about... I try learning it?"
