Mystery: She came from the Chaos Sea

Chapter 172 Bloodline Pollution

When Napolidisli walked out of the Monastery of Night, his figure gradually dissipated, leaving only wisps of black mist floating in the air.

Amanisis looked in the direction where the demon demigod disappeared and asked doubtfully, "Aren't you afraid that the demons will really let the Outer Gods in?"

Hermione chuckled and said, "Even if Phapti has the courage to let the Outer Gods in, the Mother Tree of Desire may not dare to set foot in this world."

Initially, the barrier was still very strong. Even Fabuti or Napolidisli attempted to use the uniqueness of the abyss to carry the power of the "Mother Tree of Desire" at the cost of sacrificing the entire abyss.

The ultimate limit it can reach is just barely the level of the "old days".

Hermione was not afraid of the Quasi-Old Ones who could not even bring Essence into the initial barrier.

On the contrary, she was looking forward to the "Mother Tree of Desire" making such an attempt.

But these Outer Gods have the courage to hide in the dark and do things secretly. If they really want to "slip in through the dog hole" alone in such a high-profile manner, except for the "Fallen Mother Goddess", the other Outer Gods will definitely blame each other.

After all, the "Son of Chaos", the complete predecessor of the "Uncertain Mist", was too confident and reckless, so he plunged into the earth alone, and was eventually sealed by the Heavenly Venerable and unable to return to the starry sky.

When mentioning the "Son of Chaos", Hermione's thoughts involuntarily drifted to the "Wishing Lamp Genie" left on Earth.

That is the core of the will of the "Son of Chaos". She has been sending people to search for the whereabouts of the "Wishing Lamp God", but there is no news so far.

The "Wishing Lamp God" itself corresponds to the two sequence paths of "Black Emperor" and "Judge" on Earth, and the body that seals Him is made of a "Miracle Worker" characteristic.

Therefore, the extraordinary people of the three paths of "Black Emperor", "Judge" and "Fool" are most likely to find the "Wishing Lamp God" by relying on the aggregate influence of their own characteristics.

At present, the surviving demon wolves protected by Amanesis and Amon's demon wolf clones are trying their best to find the whereabouts of the "Wishing Lamp God".

If she still couldn't find it, Hermione had a new plan in mind.

She planned to try her luck by taking advantage of the possible connection between Russell and the "Wishing Genie".

Compared to the five uniquenesses of "Judge", "Black Emperor", "Wheel of Fortune", "Red Priest" and "Original Witch".

Hermione was more interested in the "Wishing Genie".

Because in the last corrupt giant incident, she realized that the key point of the Outer Gods' unity was the "Uncertain Mist" that had the power of "communication".

The "Wishing Lamp God," which originated from the same source as the "Uncertain Mist," is therefore extremely valuable in the strategy against the Outer Gods.

However, these uniquenesses are crucial to completely fight against the Outer Gods, so Hermione is also actively tracking down the whereabouts of other uniquenesses.

The main task of the Moss Ascetic Order now is to find the uniqueness of the "Original Witch" and the man named "Chik" by tracking the activities of the witches.

Stiano has already chased the "witch" to the demigod level. According to the clues he sent, the "witches" have a tendency to gather into a secret organization, and he is chasing the person behind this.

Ouroboros and the original elven god "God of Luck" both embarked on the journey of pursuing "destiny".

However, Hermione could see that the original elves' "God of Luck" had complicated thoughts in his mind, and she just hoped that He would not go astray.

There is still no clue about the uniqueness of the "Judge" and the "Black Emperor". They seem to be hidden in a mysterious corner of the world. Hermione cannot be sure, and there is no interference from other forces.

But Amon knew a "Conqueror" who was a Red Priest Path Sequence One, a natural mythological creature. And from what Amon had said, his friend admired the "Sun God's" style of doing things.

However, the whereabouts of this "conqueror" are currently unknown, and no one knows where in the world he is wandering.

Hermione actually hoped that person would encounter the uniqueness of the "Red Priest" during his journey, because that person's character was still very reliable in the face of the threat of the Outer Gods.

The uniqueness of the final "Eternal Sleeper" is what Hermione is most concerned about, but there is no clue yet.

Hermione could only place her hopes on Amon, expecting that Amon would bring new clues after he found the underworld.

Hermione had thought that if she could come into contact with the forces of the Underworld in the Western Continent, she might be able to obtain clues to the uniqueness of the Eternal Sleeper.

Amanesis asked at this time: "Then should we continue to suppress the living space of high-sequence demons?"

Hermione squinted her eyes at the outline of the abyss outside the monastery and said slowly:

"Napolidisli has come to negotiate on his own initiative, it seems he's a bit impatient. As I told his clone, he has no choice. Bringing his 'uniqueness' with him is his only chance of survival."

If Napolidisli was really willing to voluntarily hand over the uniqueness of the "Abyss", Hermione would not have carried out a just judgment and insisted on taking his life. In some cases, "the merits do not outweigh the faults" applies, but in other cases, "a horse's bones are worth a thousand gold coins" applies.

Those uniqueness and high-level characteristics that have so far had no clues may have catalyzed the emergence of some powerful angels and archangels.

If there is a successful example of Napoleon Disili's surrender, those angels hiding in the dark and having doubts in their hearts will also increase the possibility of taking the initiative to surrender to her.

This will undoubtedly help Hermione eliminate the hidden dangers inside the earth, so that she can focus more on fighting against the spiritual imprint of "God".

In the chaotic Western Continent, for the so-called dynasties and the martial arts world, those who received the ordination certificate were extremely powerful.

Zhou Mu followed the clues around her and, with Hermione's occasional reminders, found the traces of the Luo Sect. Then, after some effort, she actually rescued a female Taoist disciple from the Luo Sect gathering place.

"What's your name?" He handed over the coat. The inner lining Zhou Mian was wearing was quite covering, at least much more covering than the shabby appearance of the black-haired woman in front of him.

Compared with the Taoist disciple in front of her, Zhou Mu was slightly taller in terms of height, so the coat fit her well.

Soft moonlight poured into the woods.

The black-haired woman and Zhou Min worked together to deal with the ordinary people from the martial arts world who were chasing them, and the wild woods became quiet for a while.

The black-haired woman in Zhou Mu's coat softened her edge a bit. "I'm from the Daoist sect, Pang Jingqiu. Thank you for saving my life. What's your name, sir?"

Seeing the suspicion in the heart of this Taoist disciple, Zhou Mu bowed and said, "Anlu, Zhou Mu."

After hearing this, Pang Jingqiu's expression softened slightly. After all, the Dao Sect and Anlu were still allies. Zhou Mu also breathed a sigh of relief.

But Hermione, observing Pang Jingqiu's change in attitude, felt deeply impressed by this Daoist disciple's shrewdness. If placed in her care, he could undoubtedly become a master of psychology. From Zhou Mu's perspective, Hermione could see that the Daoist disciple had initially displayed wariness and suspicion toward her, then deliberately lowered his guard and adopted a more subdued demeanor.

With this kind of attitude tug and change, it is easier to get close to Zhou Mu.

Just like someone who owes money is more careful than someone who borrows money, no matter what year a person is rescued, he feels much heavier in his heart than his savior.

This is a very interesting psychological phenomenon - the party who bestows a favor often feels that the relationship between the two has become closer than the party who receives the favor.

Therefore, in interpersonal communication, some people deliberately accept favors from others in small matters in order to get closer to others.

This is the case with Pang Jingqiu now.

Hermione would not have any prejudice against the entire Taoist sect because of the Heavenly Master and the ordination scriptures of the "Heavenly Master" lineage that the Heavenly Master told her.

Under the influence of the source elements, the situation in the Western Continent has become even more chaotic. This chaos is not the same as the chaos outside the Western Continent when human tribes were oppressed by alien races during the Dark Ages.

Rather, it's a struggle between several major human forces and dozens of human kingdoms. Therefore, in such a chaotic world, people's hearts become more complicated.

Take Pang Jingqiu as an example. The Taoist disciple's attitude tug-of-war may not necessarily mean that he has no good intentions towards Zhou Mu.

But the other party's mind is really meticulous. Even the one who is rescued is thinking about taking the initiative in the relationship between the two into his own hands.

Hermione did not remind Zhou Mi that everything that had happened to her since she leaned over her had been smooth sailing, so that her original vigilance had become more lazy.

"You can just call me Jingqiu. If you have any questions for me, please feel free to ask me. I will tell you everything I know." Pang Jingqiu's tone had the coldness of a Taoist priest, but his words expressed intimacy.

Although he said he knew everything, Pang Jingqiu showed a puzzled look and asked Zhou Mu:
"How did my benefactor find out that I was trapped in the secret cell in the Luo Cult stronghold? Moreover, it seems like my benefactor came here specifically to rescue me?"

Zhou Mu waved her hand and said, "Fellow Daoist Jingqiu, there's no need to keep calling me benefactor. When you're out and about, just call me fellow Daoist."

Zhou Mu was no naiveté either. She then explained how she had come down the mountain to train and had stumbled upon a Taoist temple where she discovered that a Taoist disciple from the same faction had been murdered or abducted by the Luo Cult. Following this lead, she wanted to investigate further for any traces of the Luo Cult's presence.

"...Based on the records in the sect's miscellaneous journals about the Luo Cult kidnapping members of the Taoist sect, I speculated that there might be survivors among the disciples guarding the Taoist temple."

"It was only by chance that I was able to save Fellow Daoist Jingqiu."

Hearing Zhou Mu's words, Pang Jingqiu let out a sigh and thanked him again, "If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Zhou Mu's vast knowledge and meticulous thinking, I would have been kept captive by the demon woman of the Luo Sect as a slave..."

Obviously not as a slave...

Not only Hermione, but even Zhou Min could see that Pang Jingqiu's words were a bit stiff.

"It's not that I intentionally wanted to hide this from Fellow Daoist Zhou Mu, but this matter concerns the sect's secrets..." Pang Jingqiu said with a slightly lowered tone and a wry smile:

"Never mind, it's not that secretive. The demon girl from the Luo Sect covets the bloodline of my Taoist disciples."

"Once we, the disciples who have received the dharma seal, fall into the hands of those evil women of the Luo Sect, we will be forced to give birth to children with them."

"Even female disciples like us are forced to give birth to children... and they are the children of those Luo Sect witch women."

Zhou Mu was surprised and asked, "Is this really true?"

Pang Jingqiu smiled bitterly and said nothing more.

Hermione listened to the conversation between the two and deduced that this was the method used by the "Mother of No Birth" to actively pollute the source material "Knowledge Wilderness".

In her heart, she asked Zhou Mu to inquire about the whereabouts of those offspring.

Although Zhou Mu felt that asking such a question was inappropriate and was like rubbing salt into the hearts of these Taoist disciples, she knew that since Senior "Yuanchu" took the initiative to ask, this question probably involved something very important.

So Zhou Mu asked, "What about those children? Were they harmed by those evil women of the Luo Cult?"

Pang Jingqiu sighed:

"The Luo Cult doesn't intend to use these children for blood sacrifices or other evil things. They might even let us, who have received the dharma ordination, go free and allow us to return to the Dao sect."

"Some of these children will return to the Daoist sect with the released Daoist disciples, while others will be adopted and raised by secular families. However, those who grew up in the secular world will also join the Daoist sect through various coincidences."

"Because these children have excellent talent in cultivating the Dao, they can basically all successfully receive the Dao ordination certificate and become our direct disciples."

"So even the head of my Taoist sect, who has passed down the teachings from generation to generation, cannot tell how many of the disciples who have received the dharma seals in the Taoist sect now possess the bloodline of the Luo Sect's demon women..."

"Even I probably have the blood of Luo Sect... Luo Sect disciples."

No wonder the "Knowledge Wilderness" is affected by the "Mother Nest", and even by the "Fallen Mother Goddess" because of the relationship between the "Mother Nest" and the "Fallen Mother Goddess" -

Even the uniqueness of the "Hermit" was revitalized, making him the child of the "Fallen Mother Goddess".

Hermione was "amazed" by the "Birthless Mother's" method of forcing a marriage.

Hermione thought of the child of Tianshi and Luo. Even the contemporary Hedaoists in the "Wild Knowledge" had suffered the same fate...

Hermione took the initiative to understand Pang Jingqiu's state in front of her, thinking about the scriptures taught to her by the Heavenly Master, and even deduced a reality that shocked her -

With the bloodline of the "Mother of No Birth" eroding from generation to generation, Taoist disciples now have to possess the bloodline of Luojiao disciples if they want to successfully receive the ordination.

Otherwise, those wandering Taoists who have already merged with the "Wildness of Knowledge" will not recognize those disciples who are not of the Luo Sect bloodline to be in charge of the source of the "Wildness of Knowledge".

They will even use negative emotions such as resentment to actively stop disciples who are not of the Luo sect's bloodline.

If it continues to reproduce like this, even if the "Knowledge Wilderness" gives birth to its own will or is controlled by a descendant "Heavenly Master", it will inevitably become the child of the "Mother of No Birth"!

If possible, Hermione really wanted to sit down and discuss with this "Mother of No Birth". The current prerequisite was that she would not be favored by the other party and become the target of blood infection.
