Chapter 156: The Fourth Progenitor's Observer, the Chaos Princess

What is a Familiar?

Is it a summoned beast raised within the blood of a Vampire, left to be driven by the Vampire?

No, the true existence of a Familiar is a weapon of the Heavenly Tribe, a tool of war, and the embodiment of true calamity.

It is a life form that exists like a Curse.

It is a beast of calamity that, merely by existing in the world, brings endless disaster upon it.

Even when dwelling within the body of a Vampire—who possesses negative life force—a Familiar is a terrifying monster that can easily drain the Vampire's life force, magic power, memories, and even their very existence.

And this is not even the true terror of a Familiar.

The true terror of a Familiar is less about its destructive power and more about the subsequent pollution it causes to memories.

A Familiar that has broken free from control will endlessly seize "information (memories)" from surrounding sentient life forms in order to maintain its physical form.

The very existence of a Familiar is an anomaly that should not have appeared in this world.

And rather than saying the Xuegui Yizu controls the Familiars, it is more accurate to say that the Xuegui Yizu restricts the Familiars, and even weakens them through constant reproduction.

As for the Three True Ancestors? They are nothing more than limiters for the Familiars.

Even though they have stood at the pinnacle of the world for thousands of years, the Three True Ancestors have never forgotten the sight of countless True Ancestor-level Familiars running rampant across the land, destroying this world.

The three of them are merely lucky ones who survived the original great war under the protection of Cain.

No one knows the terror of Familiars better than they do.

This is also the reason why they allow the Flame Light Banquet to be held time and time again, letting the Fourth Progenitor appear and die repeatedly.

It is simply to weaken the twelve Familiars of the Fourth Progenitor through each Flame Light Banquet.

Because the Fourth Progenitor has no blood descendants, he lacks the ability to divide the power of the Familiars through the reproduction of blood descendants to weaken them.

And what is even more desperate is that the Fourth Progenitor's Familiars were created by the Heavenly Tribe, the strongest Familiars made by relying on the guidance of the stars and the resentment of the Heavenly Tribe.

If the Familiars of other Vampires cannot be summoned once they leave Earth and go to an Otherworld, then the Fourth Progenitor's Familiars can be summoned at will without any restrictions.

This is also the reason why the Fourth Progenitor is called the strongest True Ancestor.

Twelve Familiars that act like natural disasters with no restrictions.

And now, something even more terrifying has happened: the Twelfth Familiar of the Fourth Progenitor has mutated, becoming a Familiar far more terrifying than those that originally destroyed the Heavenly Tribe.

As a civilization capable of spanning the universe, how could the technical level of the Heavenly Tribe be compared to that of the current Earth?

It is just a pity that at the time, Cain backstabbed the Heavenly Tribe for the sake of Earth, utilized almost all of the Heavenly Tribe's resources, and joined forces with the Three True Ancestors to initiate the Great Saint Annihilation.

They turned the six thousand four hundred and fifty-two True Ancestor-level Familiars on Earth at that time into Familiar warheads and sealed them within the Otherworld.

Furthermore, they sealed the other, less powerful Familiars into the bodies of the Three True Ancestors, forming the seventy-two Familiars of the First Progenitor, the nineteen of the Second Progenitor, and the twenty-seven of the Third Progenitor.

And through the Saint Annihilation, they twisted their race into Vampires, allowing this harmful power of the Familiars to be passed down through blood from generation to generation, thereby weakening the power of the Familiars.

Things had been going very smoothly, right up until the arrival of Su Nian, and until the Twelfth Familiar displayed terrifying power that surpassed the Three True Ancestors' understanding.

"The power displayed by the Twelfth Familiar is too strong; once it loses control, no one can predict what will happen."

The First Progenitor, Joy, said with great solemnity, for the sake of Earth's safety and the contract and promise made with Cain back then.

No matter what, he would guard this world.

"Moreover, I am very suspicious that the Primordial has already been completely devoured."

"The signals from the various countermeasures we and the Heavenly Tribe left inside the Primordial have all disappeared."

"Devoured by that man named Su Nian."

The First Progenitor recounted everything that had happened on Gozo Island to the other two True Ancestors in minute detail.

He spoke as if he had been there at the time, explaining every detail very clearly.

In reality, these details came from Akatsuki Gajo, who is currently in prison in Malta; he had obtained the memories of Akatsuki Gajo from that time on Gozo Island through certain means.

"Are you talking about that Fourth Progenitor, Su Nian?"

The Third Progenitor revealed an intrigued expression; she leaned her petite body forward, putting on an appearance of listening intently, and even her tone became much more excited.

"I have used all my power to investigate, and I am certain that this man Su Nian absolutely did not exist in this world before."

"He appeared in this world as if out of nowhere."

"Or perhaps, just like the Heavenly Tribe..."

Before the First Progenitor could finish his sentence, the Second Progenitor interjected.

"You suspect that man is not a life form from this planet, but comes from another planet."

The First Progenitor, Joy, nodded and said with some worry.

"I suspect the other party comes from the 'Eastern Continent'."

The humans on Earth are actually not the native humans of Earth; they are actually blood-food plundered by the gods of the Heavenly Tribe from the place where the Dragon Tribe lived, called the "Eastern Continent".

And Earth was merely used as a place to raise humans.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the Heavenly Tribe was no match for the Dragon Tribe; they had only plundered a portion of the humans before being hunted down to the point where they could only seal the 【Otherworld】, the different space that connects to the Eastern Continent.

And now, the technology of the Heavenly Tribe has suffered a rupture; because of the Great Saint Annihilation, there are not even many surviving members of the Heavenly Tribe.

However, in the development over tens of thousands of years, it is perfectly normal for the Dragon Tribe on the Eastern Continent to have had several technological breakthroughs.

Perhaps they have already found a way to cross the Otherworld and come to Earth.

What they are even more worried about is that Su Nian is merely the vanguard.

"If it were only Su Nian, we might still be able to cope, but if there are more..."

The First Progenitor did not finish his sentence, but the other two True Ancestors immediately understood his meaning.

Yet the Third Progenitor only laughed out loud.

"If more and stronger Familiars really appear, wouldn't that be even better?"

"Doesn't that mean they have found a way to completely control the Familiars? Perhaps the fate of us True Ancestors could be resolved."

"And even if that's not the case, wouldn't things become interesting?"

The First Progenitor was speechless; he could understand Gada's feelings, and even he himself, upon sensing the power of Su Nian's Familiar, felt his long-cold blood begin to flow once more.

Vampires—are they even vampires of the previous generation? They have lived too long, and their emotions have long since become tattered and worn away by time.

For many ancient vampires, death is not terrifying; they even look forward to it, because they no longer have any meaning to keep living.

And as the Three True Ancestors who have lived the longest, they have been worn down even more severely.

If it weren't for the fact that they still remember the mission they promised Cain, I fear it wouldn't just be Gada who was excited right now.

If they could, as those whose emotions have already been worn away to almost nothing, who wouldn't want to abandon everything to pursue that fleeting moment of passion?

Suppressing the restless hot blood in his heart, the First Progenitor Joy Zhulanbalada still said calmly.

"But that Familiar is truly too dangerous; we cannot imagine the scene if all twelve Familiars were controlled by him."

"I do not want the war that happened on this land back then, that tragedy which lasted for nearly a thousand years, to repeat itself on this land again."

"No one can say for sure where the limit of Su Nian's control over Familiars lies."

"Familiars have never been conquered by us; everything we have done so far has only been paying some price to make these Familiars a bit quieter."

Those 6,452 Familiar warheads are still sealed in the other realm.

The First Progenitor's words ultimately made the other two True Ancestors fall silent.

Even Gada, who had been active, said no more at this moment.

They seemed to fall into reminiscence, returning to thousands of years ago, the moment they became test subjects with a dauntless spirit and transformed into True Ancestors.

The long passage of time has made the three True Ancestors forget many things, but the only thing they cannot forget is the oath made after that, and the mission they possessed after becoming True Ancestors.

"We need someone to monitor Su Nian; if he acts strangely, we must join forces to resolve this trouble."

"The Flame Light Banquet can continue, let him continue to collect the other Familiars, but he is absolutely not allowed to let them go berserk."

"After thousands of years of effort, we have barely managed to reduce the threat level of the Familiars to the current controllable level; if we let the Fourth Progenitor's Familiar go out of control, then our thousands of years of effort will go down the drain."

The Second Progenitor was also rarely serious at this time; she sat up straight, restrained her lazy and decadent aura, and was about to righteously demand to become the monitor.

To make her own life a bit more interesting, so as to pass the boring time ahead.

But the Third Progenitor Jiada Kukoukan took a step forward first and said.

"Then leave it to me; I will go monitor Su Nian, and incidentally probe his background."

The Second Progenitor puffed up her cheeks in some anger, looking at Gada; she acted pitifully toward the First Progenitor, attempting to hope that the First Progenitor would speak for her.

But the First Progenitor Joy did not even look at Asodeguer, but instead nodded at Gada.

"Then let Gada handle this matter."

"Hey Joy, what about me?"

The Second Progenitor Asodeguer called out unhappily; why give such an interesting task to Gada and not to her?

Was there something wrong with her?

"Your promiscuous life should be forgotten; at least so far, those Su Nian is willing to contact are all pure young girls."

Joy looked at Asodeguer and rolled his eyes helplessly, retorting.

Although he has seventy-two blood companions, at least they are all top-tier beauties in appearance, and before becoming his blood companions, they were all pure young girls.

As a man himself, he still understands Su Nian's thoughts very well.

Pure beautiful girls—this is a very special bonus, and even the act of monitoring itself has a high probability of being considered some kind of special flirtation.

But what if it were Asodeguer, who swings both ways? Although she is very good-looking and is an out-and-out beautiful girl.

But her life is the most promiscuous among the Three True Ancestors, addicted to pleasure and unable to extricate herself.

It is estimated that when Asodeguer contacts Su Nian, or even has thoughts about Su Nian, Su Nian will likely not show any mercy.

But Gada is different; before she became a True Ancestor, she was a Huang Nu of the Heavenly Tribe. The pride of a Huang Nu makes her unwilling to contact any male whose status and strength are inferior to hers.

This has led to the fact that even in her Night Empire and Chaos Realm, there is not a single male among her blood descendants.

They are all female, or rather, pure beautiful girls.

For a man with normal thinking, this is simply a huge bonus.

After listening to the analysis of the First Progenitor Joy, the Second Progenitor Asodeguer couldn't help but click her tongue.

"Heh, men."
