After activating its ability, it generates a Bloodthirst Mark above its head, which continuously absorbs blood loss from nearby targets and converts it into healing energy to repair bodily damage. The coverage area of the Bloodthirst Mark is influenced by its own blood strength (can be freely controlled, turned on or off).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The player squad that discovered the third-generation Source Monster struck without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this Source Monster proved extremely difficult to handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During combat, a rune mark would float above its head, unleashing a crimson light field with a 10-meter radius centered on itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any wound sustained while fighting within this field would continuously drain blood, healing the Source Monster’s injuries—akin to a cockroach that refused to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This squad consisted mostly of melee players, who struggled immensely against the Bloodthirst Source.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They eventually contained it at the cost of two players returning to Emperor Tomb Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The containment of the Bloodthirst Mark sparked wild excitement among Stone Statue Stream players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Soul Attribute had no effect against entities like the Black Black Tide or other energy-based lifeforms, it proved devastatingly effective against insect swarms and other flesh-and-blood enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Embedding the Bloodthirst Soul meant one could endure longer in specific environments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This new Soul was immediately regarded by many Stone Statue Stream players as a core Soul that must be embedded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This containment also granted the player's legion a new achievement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Testing Tower facility first launched, 729 Souls were available for testing; apart from previously contained Souls, all others were simulated Souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bloodthirst was the first Soul to transition from simulated to real and usable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before this, players had considered these simulated Souls unlikely to ever be contained—even if they lived out their entire lifespans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Monster World was boundless; finding a Source Monster matching a Soul in the database was like searching for a needle in a haystack, with an extremely low probability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This successful containment quickly drew the attention of strategy-focused players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New Star Vein combination streams began emerging through strategy players’ testing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many players still en route also joined the discussions, using them to pass the time during travel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, one Star Vein combination received a rapid surge in likes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This stream was named: Blood Demon Mark Stream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Star Vein combination centered on the Gargoyle, followed by Bloodthirst, Toxic, Shatter, and Forbidden Blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unique feature of this Star Vein combination was that even while standing still, it dealt continuous damage to nearby targets, and the blood lost from enemy wounds healed the player’s own body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Bloodthirst Mark was a slow, area-type skill, combining it with other effect-based Souls could generate a melee zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as a target sustained injury, the Bloodthirst Mark would drain its blood; the physical damage from blood loss could stack with the Toxic trait, which in turn automatically stacked the Forbidden Blade trait, further enhanced by the Shatter field’s physical penetration effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, injured enemies produced more blood, creating a positive feedback loop of damage output and self-healing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, this Blood Demon Stream’s Star Vein combination had extremely high potential, allowing future stacking of more effect-based Souls, granting both high defense and sustained damage output.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The testing results of this new Soul sent Stone Statue Stream players into ecstatic delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the game’s launch, one of the players’ greatest frustrations had been healing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lack of compatible healer Souls meant every healing required potions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Soul levels increased, the strength of hunted monsters also rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basic healing potions could no longer satisfy Stone Statue Stream players, often requiring multiple bottles to fully restore their health bars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To improve healing efficiency during combat, many Stone Statue Stream players switched to intermediate healing potions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daily spending on potions was a significant expense, requiring teammates to share the cost; otherwise, individual burdens became too heavy, severely hindering growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bloodthirst couldn’t replace a healer class, but it eased the early-stage healing problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stone Statue Stream players unanimously gave the new Soul an extremely high rating on the forum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the incident of containing the Source Monster, the player army crossed mountains and rivers to reach the Ji Le Grand Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, they discovered a domain node.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this domain node was guarded by a powerful monster clan that fed on the energy it produced, making it impossible for players to approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without organizing a coordinated assault, players dared not risk approaching the domain node.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One and a half days later, the first group of players arrived at the entrance of the Ji Le Grand Hall under the leadership of the Divine King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they didn’t rush in; instead, they surrounded the entrance to prevent any other players from sneaking in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason for this action had been explained by the Divine King in a forum post.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stated that although he hadn’t entered the Ji Le Grand Hall last time, he had watched the livestream footage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having learned from experience, the Ji Le Clan’s reaction speed would be much faster this time; it was safer to wait until more players arrived together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, latecomers could still profit from the event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Divine King’s actions earned praise from many “short-leg” players, and his high reputation made early arrivals willing to grant him deference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although some players still resented this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Divine King’s guild was the number one guild in the game, and his friends were all top-ranked guild leaders, so no one wanted to oppose him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, this idea had gained massive player support; opposing it now would only provoke widespread resentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time reached noon of the second day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The charge horn sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spatial runes behind the ancient tree flickered continuously, ferrying wave after wave of players to the Ji Le Grand Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After passing through the first gate, players, having shaken off the spiritual corruption of Ji Le Power, resumed their Joyful Salvation campaign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With several major guilds joining, many previously untargetable high-level Fallen Ones became focal targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The efficiency of sacrificial power generation from Salvation rose significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, an amusing incident occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Gate of Greed scenario, a peculiar monster suddenly spawned—its body massive, roughly as wide as two horses side by side, limbs powerful and muscular, skin a deep gray-brown covered in rough, ancient-tree-bark-like textures; most striking were the enormous ram horns atop its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, it had entered the Ji Le Grand Hall scenario via spatial runes from another region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering, it was immediately corrupted by Ji Le Power, yet its eyes still held clarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players who witnessed this immediately performed Salvation on it—within less than a minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The player who killed it justified it by saying this was a being on the verge of falling into darkness, helping it achieve early liberation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was precisely the nature of the Ji Le Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each branch node scenario connected to multiple spatial passages to the Monster World, constantly allowing new lifeforms to enter and become vessels for Ji Le Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The passage discovered by players was merely one of many such connections between this node and the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Le Main Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless spatial ribbons wrapped around the main hall, continuously feeding it Ji Le Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ji Le Lord, standing atop the altar within the main hall, resembled a spider at the center of a web, able to perceive and precisely locate the status of every node on the web through consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the Ji Le Lord suddenly opened his eyes, a flicker of confusion crossing his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the third time, he sensed an anomaly in the third spatial node of the Pale Continent—the output of Ji Le Power was steadily declining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Evil Speech.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your servant is here.” A purple figure materialized from twisted air not far ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go again. Something’s wrong there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evil Speech bowed respectfully, then dissolved into a streak of light and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty minutes later, Evil Speech returned, kneeling on one knee before the Ji Le Lord:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My Lord, it’s those players again—they’re nearly exterminating all the Fallen Ones in the three spatial nodes of the Pale Continent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the Lord of Bliss became somewhat unsettled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first occurrence might have been coincidence—an accidental entry into the Ji Le Dadian scene—but the second was clearly deliberate and targeted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Xie Yu’s description, the Player Clan’s strength was weak; he could not understand why they dared challenge him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even just Xie Yu was already a being beyond the Player Clan’s capacity to resist. Every time the Player Clan entered the Ji Le Dadian, they suffered heavy losses of clan members and carried away nothing. What was their purpose?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it merely to satisfy their desire to slaughter without restraint?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, a strange expression flickered in the Lord of Bliss’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recalled a new force ravaging the Monster World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This force’s characteristics were extremely similar to the behavior of this group of players: they delighted in bloodshed and slaughter, unafraid of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unlike the Player Clan, this was a force with limitless growth potential and immense underlying strength—other races called them the Battle Insect Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lifeforms of this race had also been captured by the Ji Le Dadian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, it had shocked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He discovered that captured Insect Clan warriors, upon entering the Ji Le Dadian, immediately launched bloodthirsty attacks on the fallen, completely unaffected by the power of Bliss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The investigation concluded that Insect Clan warriors possessed no memory or logical thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their memories could not reconstruct any images; they acted solely on commands issued by the Insect Clan’s central brain. When no command was received, they attacked all targets under the drive of bloodthirsty instinct—even if those targets were far stronger than themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, all Insect Clan warriors were emotionless monsters, their eyes filled only with slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon learning this, he attempted to decipher the signal by which the Insect Clan’s central brain issued commands to its warriors, hoping to gain control over them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But lacking understanding of the Insect Clan’s biological structure, he found himself utterly incapable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, during a chance encounter, a spatial node scene captured a low-level Insect Clan central brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This discovery led him to believe he had found an opportunity to control the Insect Clan—he intended to study the central brain to understand the signal characteristics for controlling the warriors, then simulate command issuance through illusions created by the power of Bliss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this research filled him with bone-chilling dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could almost certainly conclude that the Insect Clan’s central brain possessed no intelligence of its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire race shared a single brain resource.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every action of the Insect Clan’s central brain required uploading to a superior central brain, passing through layers of feedback, until the supreme central brain processed it and issued a response—only then could lower-level central brains issue commands to the warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that unless the supreme Insect Clan central brain was directly controlled, control over the Insect Clan was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this was merely his speculation, he felt it was infinitely close to the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because even the low-level Insect Clan central brains were unaffected by the power of Bliss—like machines breeding killing soldiers, they began frenziedly breeding Insect Clan warriors and launching massacres upon entering the Bliss dimension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he not intervened promptly, the Insect Clan central brain would have utterly destroyed that branch node.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emotionless killing machines perfectly countered the strongest mental control abilities of the Bliss Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also regarded the Insect Clan as one of the greatest future challenges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Contact with the Insect Clan gave him a new idea—or rather, inspiration—for the future development of his own clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He noticed that several superpowers shared a common trait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They concentrated wisdom in only a few individuals, while their warriors were emotionless killing machines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Terror Black Black Tide was no different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tiny number of intelligent evil spirits controlled the vast Black Black Tide legions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Insect Clan’s example was even more extreme: likely a single supreme central brain directing warriors spanning multiple worlds, engaging in multi-front warfare through unimaginably fast information transmission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This discovery led him to ponder a question: why did these calamity armies construct such a war structure?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After deep contemplation, he conceived a possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the eyes of these calamity-level powers, wisdom was merely a tool—not a trait beneficial to survival or development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wisdom gave rise to emotion; emotion gave rise to feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When a group of intelligent beings gathered, numerous unstable factors emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Power, conspiracy, desire… these emotions were all factors influencing a faction’s growth, even potentially causing internal strife and self-destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Insect Clan’s military structure effectively avoided this problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wisdom was concentrated in a single individual; all others were perfect machines executing slaughter commands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no internal conflicts born of emotion—no infighting, no betrayal. The clan’s development efficiency was like a precision instrument, impervious to internal collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling his time ruling the Five Worlds, he remembered how many small factions had collapsed under accumulated internal contradictions, ultimately destroyed easily by enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This reflection taught the Lord of Bliss a lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too much wisdom within a clan could become a developmental burden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, a military structure with minimal wisdom was ideal for super-calamity armies like the Insect Black Tide and Black Black Tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he understood this principle, he began planning the reconstruction of the Bliss Clan, aiming to emulate the military structures of the Black Black Tide and Insect Black Tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this stage, the plan was still in its infancy; he had yet to see any results, and many unsolvable problems remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, how could a single individual easily command a vast war army, as the Insect Black Tide and Black Black Tide did?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Information transmission efficiency and range were difficult problems to solve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second was the creation of killing machines: how could he replicate the multi-tiered combat unit structures of the Insect Black Tide and Black Black Tide?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were long-term goals he wished to pursue, yet he had found no solution path whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming back to himself, the Lord of Bliss looked at Xie Yu, kneeling on one knee before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Player Clan described by Xie Yu was entirely different from the Insect Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They possessed wisdom and emotion, yet could still block the influence of the power of Bliss—this was clearly unreasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how unreasonable the observed phenomena, they could only be attributed to his own shallow understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was clearly a special biological structure beyond his comprehension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not dwell on this question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weak Player Clan could be easily slaughtered by Xie Yu alone; even if they possessed traits perfectly counteracting the Bliss Clan, they posed no threat to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xie Yu, withdraw.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Yu nodded and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lord of Bliss suddenly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xie Yu, the third spatial node of the Pale Continent…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon receiving another message of Player Clan invasion into a spatial node, the Lord of Bliss finally lost his composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the third time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Player Clan clearly treated the Ji Le Dadian as a playground for slaughter and amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this pleasure was not granted by the power of Bliss—it only harmed his interests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the same node scene facing crisis again, he even considered stationing Xie Yu permanently at the third spatial node.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after careful thought, he abandoned the idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Yu and his other thirty-one trusted subordinates were vital forces for monitoring the vast Ji Le Palace network; it was unnecessary to station a top general for the security of a single scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In comparison, there was a simpler solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply shut down the spatial passage through which the Player Clan entered the Bliss scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the passage was closed, the third spatial node of the Pale Continent could still operate normally, and other passages could continue capturing fallen beings to generate power of Bliss for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The loss from closing one passage was negligible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, each node scene had dozens of spatial passages connecting to the Monster World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third spatial node of the Pale Continent, where the Player Clan entered, had sixty-seven external spatial passages;
