He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 535 The Origin of Vampires (First Update)

Li Chuan frowned:

"Master Boulder, why is this happening?"

"In this case, the second ancient scroll is probably not in our world. It may have been taken into the annihilation plane of a certain demon god, and it is because of the interference of the demon god's power that we cannot track it down."

Boulder paused for a moment before replying.

"In the realm of demons, this could be quite troublesome."

Li Chuan was well aware that even with his current strength, going to the Annihilation Plane of the Demon God was actually very dangerous.

The Demon God's power will be greatly enhanced in his own plane, while his power will be suppressed.

"Let's check the position of the next roll."

He was looking for the Ancient Scroll Dragon, but the one in the Demon God Realm might not be that specific scroll. He needed to find all the Ancient Scrolls first.

Boulder nodded and cast the object-finding spell for the third time.

"This volume is in the hands of a sleeping female vampire. Well, its location is in the cave beneath the Dagon statue in the Cangyuan Territory."

As expected, Boulder found the location of the third ancient scroll on the crystal ball.

"vampire?"

Li Chuan was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. He knew that there were vampires and werewolves in this world, but he had never actually encountered one in all this time.

The origins of vampires in this world are said to have been created by Morag Bal, the King of Plunder and Soul Reaper.

The demon god Morag Bal controls and enslaves the mortal realm. His greatest desire is to spread conflict and discord among mortals so that he can harvest their souls and bring them under his rule.

His annihilation plane is known as Cold Harbor, where the land is covered in silt, the sky is like fire, and the air seems frozen.

Morag Bal also invaded Nirn, attempting in the Second Era to devour the continent of Tamriel and merge it with his own plane, Cold Harbor, but ultimately failed.

Morag Bal hated most of all Akai, the god of life and death.

So one day he brutally raped a Nid woman named Lame, who was a follower of the Akhai, in Tamriel.

Latin America was found by some nomads, and despite their care, she ultimately could not escape death.

But on the day she was to be cremated, she suddenly woke up and cruelly murdered the nomads who had saved her.

Later, vampires like Lami, the first generation created by Morag Bal, were called the Daughter of Cold Harbor.

After that, she converted many more vampires and began spreading vampire diseases in Tamriel, as it was the greatest mockery of Akai.

However, Li Chuan had also seen this story in another book, though the details were slightly different, but he felt that the second version was more likely to be true.

The second account is that Lami did not die after being quashed; her wounds healed quickly, but this miraculous phenomenon terrified the local Neanders.

They feared the spread of diseases carried by Latin Americans, so they wanted to forcibly burn them alive.

Upon waking, Lami possessed the powers of a vampire, and she was not about to sit idly by and wait to die. Enraged, she slaughtered everyone.

But afterwards, she was terrified by what she had done and the changes in her body. She begged for Akai's forgiveness, but Akai still abandoned this believer who had become a vampire.

The desperate Latin American mindset began to shift, and they frantically spread the vampire virus among Akai's followers.

After that, many mortals began to voluntarily sign contracts with Moragbal to become vampires in order to gain endless life and supreme power.

"continue."

Li Chuan gestured for Boulder to continue searching.

He wants to find the locations of all the ancient scrolls and then acquire them all at once.

Boulder cast the object-finding spell for the fourth time, but this time the crystal ball did not react at all.

"It seems that only three copies of the ancient scroll exist in this era."

Before Li Chuan could ask, Boulder began to explain.

Just as legend has it, the number of ancient scrolls was not fixed at any given time.

Sometimes there's only one copy, sometimes there are a hundred, but in this era there are only three.

"There are only three portions, I hope my luck won't be too bad."

Upon hearing that there were only three ancient scrolls in this era, Li Chuan's lips twitched involuntarily.

Of the three choices, there's a one-in-three chance that the Ancient Scroll Dragon he needs most will be in the Annihilation Space of the Demon God.

That's a pretty high probability.

Winterhold, atop a snow-covered mountain in the far north, above several small brass towers.

"Is this the ruins of the Elf's Fang?"

Li Chuan slowly descended from the high sky onto the snow-capped mountain below.

After learning about the whereabouts of the three ancient scrolls from Boulder, he did not linger any longer.

His primary goal now is to obtain the Ancient Rolling Dragon and learn Dragon Soul Tear, a dragon roar he can use to deal with Dormammu in the future.

After learning it, I can take some time later to explore the true meaning of magic with Boulder and others on Artim Island.

Not only are there object-finding magic and time magic, but Boulder and others have also developed various rare magics such as person-finding magic, all of which are worth her time to learn.

"It seems this place has been discovered before, but the situation doesn't look too good."

On the snow-capped mountain, he saw some makeshift tents and frozen corpses, as well as a man-made boardwalk leading to the entrance to the Elf's Tooth ruins on the steep cliff.

Clearly, this remote Dalmatian ruin had been discovered by an expedition team, but the harsh environment there had cost them dearly.

Following the plank road built by the expedition team, Li Chuan pushed open the brass gate and stepped into the ruins.

The ruins of damask are filled with various large damask machines, most of which are powered by steam and have a brass color, giving them a rugged yet mysterious appearance.

It's somewhat similar to the steampunk style that was popular for a period of time in my previous life.

As he walked further into the ruins, he saw many traces of human excavation and various supplies that had been moved in.

After walking for a while, a cat-man holding an axe and looking dazed appeared before him.

Upon seeing him, the cat-man raised his axe and swung it at him, muttering nervously:

"Oh, who's there? A hairless fellow, trapped here by the storm just like poor Gizar. Did you steal Gizar's Skuma? Hand it over! Hand it over!"

"An addicted cat-man, let me see what's going on with your expedition."

Li Chuan frowned, raised his hand to knock the cat-man's axe away, grabbed his neck and used Soul Extraction to read his memories.

A moment later, he snapped the cat-man's neck and threw it aside.

"So it turns out they were tomb raiders sent by the old empire."

A look of understanding crossed Li Chuan's face.

By this time, he had roughly learned about the situation of this expedition team from the cat-people's memories.
