The shuttle in the second dimension

　Not long after, a dark portal appeared above that space.

　The next moment, a fair-skinned arm stretched out from the portal. The fair arm first grabbed the edge of the dark portal, and then a young man with black hair and blue eyes walked out of the dark portal.

　This young man was Lin Xuan.

　"Hmm? The new batch of [Pseudo-Angels] isn't complete yet, so why are you here?" Ye Lai Xiansheng asked, glancing at Lin Xuan. However, he was thinking to himself, "His control over space has become much more adept. Before, there was a sound when he shattered space, but now it's completely silent. If I hadn't studied space magic back then, I probably wouldn't have sensed his arrival."

　"My purpose of coming here this time is indeed not to [Model Angel], but for other reasons." Lin Xuan said after glancing around the laboratory.

　"Others!?" He frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in the eyes behind Ye Sei's glasses.

　However, Lin Xuan didn't immediately answer Ye Sei Xiansheng's question. Instead, he began to tell a story. "Originally, a group of alchemists created their ideal [perfect human] and named him [Sage]. However, this so-called [perfect human] was afraid of beings more 'perfect' than himself. Therefore, he wanted to destroy any beings that could evolve to be more 'perfect' than him. The alchemists realized their mistake and planned to destroy him. However, as an immortal being, the [Sage] was beyond their reach. So, the alchemists changed their strategy. They drained all of the 'spiritual blood' in the Sage's body, using this method to seize his power."

　Listening quietly to Lin Xuan telling the story about the sage, Ye Lai Xiansheng probably understood in his heart the purpose of Lin Xuan's visit this time. However, he didn't understand why Lin Xuan knew that the thing would be in his hands.

　"I think I've made it so obvious, you should know the purpose of my visit this time, Mr. Ye Lai." Lin Xuan chuckled, narrowing his eyes slightly.

　"I'm really curious about how you knew I would be able to take the thing. However, I'm afraid you might not tell me even if I ask. So, can I ask what you want to do? Are you planning to revive the Sage?"

　"Huh? Resurrecting the Sage!? What a joke! How could I possibly go back and resurrect that utterly narcissistic guy? I simply want to awaken the alchemist who has lived for over 270 years—Nina Adilad." Lin Xuan said, curling his lips.

　"Wake her up!?"

　"Okay, I'm too lazy to explain so much to you. Just hand that thing over to me, and then try to make all of this batch of [Fake Angels] as soon as possible." Lin Xuan said unhappily, seeming a little impatient.

　With a soft sigh, Ye Xiansheng also understood that whether he gave it to Lin Xuan or not, the item would eventually fall into Lin Xuan's hands. So, Ye Xiansheng cooperated very well and walked to a safe in the corner of the laboratory. He took out a transparent crimson spherical gem with a diameter of nearly 15 centimeters.

　After taking the gem from Kensei Yease's hand, Lin Xuan nodded with satisfaction. He was not afraid that the one Kensei Yease gave him was fake, so he left directly.

　"I hope he really won't resurrect the Sage!~~~~~" Staring blankly at the direction where Lin Xuan left, Ye Ze Xiansheng (hx) murmured.

　——Yadirad Monastery——

　Lin Xuan, who had left Ye Zexian's laboratory, appeared here. In his hands, he was holding the "heart" of the "Sage's Spirit Blood" that he had just begged from Ye Zexian. This was also known as the "refined core".

　Lin Xuan's gaze was focused on a carving hanging on the monastery's wall. It was a metal relief, roughly the size of two or three straw mats. On it, the image of a woman emerged, an exotic beauty.

　Looking at the relief in front of him, Lin Xuan murmured, "Yase Xiansheng's idea is not bad. Instead of hiding it in a clumsy way, it is better to hang it up openly like this to make it look more inconspicuous."

　As he spoke, Lin Xuan pressed the dark red gem in his hand towards the relief.

　There should have been a crisp sound when they collided with each other, but the relief underwent a dramatic change when it came into contact with the dark red gem.

　The surface of the relief began to sway like waves, and like awakened tentacles began to stir, and then Lin Xuan's strength swallowed the gem into his body.

　The next moment, the originally gray relief turned into a bright red liquid and fell to the ground.

　The originally small chapel was instantly submerged in the bright red liquid metal.

　The scattered liquid metal turned into huge bright red droplets under the action of surface tension, and kept wriggling. After a while, the scattered liquid metal gathered together.

　This bright red liquid metal is the 'Sage's Spiritual Blood' that was originally extracted from the Sage.

　Gradually, the 'Spiritual Blood of the Sage' began to shrink, forming the outline of a young woman. As the outline of the woman slowly became clearer, Lin Xuan could also clearly see the appearance of that woman. However, judging from her appearance, she was simply an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl. With such a young appearance, it was hard to imagine that she had lived for more than 270 years.

　"The Great Alchemist - Nina Adilad?" Lin Xuan murmured as he watched Nina slowly reviving.

　As time passed, the beauty condensed by the 'blood of the sage' almost regained the posture of a human being. Her lustrous hair cascaded down from her shoulders, and her delicate brown skin began to slowly reveal itself.

　"It seems that the resurrection was successful~~~~" As Lin Xuan murmured, the woman condensed by the 'Sage's Spirit Blood' in front of him slowly opened her eyes.

Chapter 88 Nina Adilad

　"Woo~~~~" It seemed that because she had been sleeping for several years, Nina Adilade was not fully conscious when she was resurrected. Her eyes, like light red crystals, seemed to be sizing up Lin Xuan who was standing in front of her.

　Lin Xuan didn't care about Nina's stare, it would be better to say that he was also staring at Nina at this moment.

　Because she had just been resurrected, Nina was not wearing any clothes and stood naked in front of Lin Xuan. Her proud figure and the cherry red breasts were exposed to Lin Xuan's eyes.

　After a while, Nina seemed to have regained some consciousness and said, "Human? ...No, are you a vampire?"

　"Oh~~~~" Lin Xuan was actually a little surprised that Nina could see through his vampire identity at a glance.

　"Can you tell I'm a vampire? As expected of a great alchemist who has lived for over 270 years?"

　"But..." Having said this, Lin Xuan paused, and then continued, "I think you should use alchemy to make a piece of clothing now. Although I don't care about 623, it would be better for you to make one." Touching his nose lightly, Lin Xuan shrugged and said.

　"Clothes!?" Nina lowered her head, glanced at her body, and said as if she had suddenly realized something. "Oh~~~ I just woke up, so I'm still a little confused for a moment."

　Then, the remaining "Sage's Spirit Blood" on the ground suddenly followed Nina's feet and climbed onto her body. The next moment, the "Sage's Spirit Blood" began to change, and then, a simple and plain dress appeared on Nina's body.

　"Well, um~~~~ Although you are a vampire, it is surprising that your real age is just a teenager~~~~~" Nina said, looking at Lin Xuan.

　"Oh~~~~ Why do you think so?" Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked with a slight curl of his lips, "After seeing that I am a vampire, why do you still think I would be a teenager? Nina Adilad."

　"A woman's intuition and the scent that emanates from your body."

　"Breath?" Lin Xuan whispered with his eyes narrowed.

　"Although it is easy for vampires to maintain their appearance, even if the appearance does not change, the aura emitted from the body cannot remain unchanged." Looking at Lin Xuan, Nina explained.

　"But—young man," Nina asked, narrowing her crystal-like light red eyes slightly, "Why did you wake me up?"

　"Why~~~~" Lin Xuan said with a smile, narrowing his blue eyes, making it impossible to see the expression in his eyes.

　"What if I say that I want to recruit you, the great alchemist?" Lin Xuan smiled, an intriguing light flashing in his squinting eyes.

　"Oh~~~~ Recruit me? Young man, it seems that your identity is not simple~~~~~" Nina raised the corner of her mouth and stared at Lin Xuan and smiled.

　"About this question of identity~~~~~" Lin Xuan whispered, gently lifting the loose hair on his forehead.

　The next moment, a surge of magical power gushed out from his body, filling the surrounding space.

　Then, in Nina's astonished eyes, the space around Lin Xuan began to collapse. In a blink of an eye, Nina found that she was no longer in the ruins of the Adirad Monastery, but in the ruins of a certain location.

　The original noon also turned into dusk, and the dim light and the ruins gave people an indescribable desolation.

　"Nina Adilad, I--" Looking at Nina in front of him, Lin Xuan released the magic power in his body without any concealment.

　The released magic power violently disturbed the surrounding air. The tiny gravel and dust on the ground were directly lifted up by the disturbed airflow, and the khaki (hx) dust also spread, blocking Nina's sight. In fact, at this time, Nina could no longer see Lin Xuan's figure.

　"——I am just a True Ancestor who wants to build his own Empire of the Night~~~~~"

　In the smoke and dust, Lin Xuan's voice sounded, but at the same time as Lin Xuan's voice sounded, dozens of different voices also sounded at the same time.

　The next moment, a gust of air rose up, sweeping away the smoke and dust in the air, exposing Lin Xuan's figure to Nina's sight again.

　But it was not just Lin Xuan that was exposed to Nina's sight, but also the twelve huge beasts of different shapes behind him.

　The magical power emanating from the twelve beasts is unimaginable for ordinary people. At the same time, with the appearance of the twelve beasts, the air around Lin Xuan's body began to vibrate.

　"What is this!?" Nina looked at the twelve beasts behind Lin Xuan in shock. She never thought that the young man in front of her would be the legendary vampire - the Fourth True Ancestor.

　When she was looking at Lin Xuan before, she had been guessing Lin Xuan's identity. She originally thought that Lin Xuan was at most a vampire of the old generation, but the facts shocked her speechless.

　With such imposing beasts, and more than ten of them at once, she really couldn't think of anyone else who could have such ability except the True Ancestor.

　"It seems that I underestimated you, boy, no, the Fourth True Ancestor." Nina chuckled as she squinted her eyes at the boy in front of her.

　"If possible, I don't want you to call me the Fourth True Ancestor. By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet." Lin Xuan said with a smile after putting away the twelve beasts behind him.

　"Lin Xuan, this is my name. I'm a magic attacker on Genshin Island. I'm also the leader of a small organization called the Founders, which has emerged in recent years. Of course, I also have another identity that you know, the Fourth True Ancestor."

　“A demon master!?” Nina raised her eyebrows and looked at Lin Xuan in amazement. The fourth primogenitor, who stood at the top of the demon clan, was actually a demon master specifically designed to deal with demons! This seemed quite amusing.

　"Yes, the magician."

　"Hehe - you, a True Ancestor with ill intentions, came to the Demon Special Zone of Genshin Island to work as a magic attacker. I'm afraid you have some hidden secrets, such as incorporating this place into the territory of your Empire of Night." Nina spoke out her guess about Lin Xuan without any reservation.

　"You're right. So, what's your answer?"

　"I……"

Chapter 89 Conversation

　"So, what's your answer?" Lin Xuan asked, squinting his eyes at Nina.

　"Hmm~~~~~" Nina frowned slightly, supporting her chin with her right hand.

　The next moment, she looked at Lin Xuan helplessly and said.

　"It seems that I have no other choice."

　As if not surprised by Nina's answer, Lin Xuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and smiled, "I like to talk to smart people. Obviously, you are a smart person, Nina Adilad."

　"Oh~~~ Chief, are you bragging about me?" Nina raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled.

　"——" A hint of satisfaction emerged in his blue eyes. It was obvious that Lin Xuan was quite satisfied with Nina's sudden change of address.

　Suddenly, Lin Xuan said, "By the way, as for the Sage and Tianzhong Mercury, I will help you deal with them. You don't have to worry about this."

　"Oh~~~~I didn't expect that you, the leader, also knew this. Woo~~~That's right, since you know where the 'Sage's Blood' is sealed and resurrected me, then it's not difficult for you to know those things." Nina said with a look of sudden realization, supporting her chin.

　"But—" After a pause, Nina asked, "Chief, what exactly is your purpose in recruiting me? Are you short on funds and need to use alchemy to obtain a large amount of gold?! Or is there some other purpose? Look at the Maoxian Chinese website."

　"Purpose~~~~~Anyway, it's not a funding issue. Besides, gold? I have no shortage of that thing." Lin Xuan said, raising his eyebrows slightly.

　As soon as he finished speaking, a dark red ripple appeared about ten meters away from him. The next moment, countless gold fell from it and landed on the ground.

　"Look--" Lin Xuan shrugged and pointed at the pile of gold on the ground.

　"!!!!" Compared to the pile of gold that fell to the ground, Nina was more interested in the dark red ripples that appeared in the void. Obviously, as a great alchemist who had survived for more than 270 years, it was not difficult for her to see that the dark red ripples were the exit of a space, and from the aura emitted from the dark red ripples, it was an independent space.

　Moreover, the space she is in now does not seem to be the world she originally lived in. Although this space gives her a feeling similar to a barrier, it is different from the barriers she knows. Compared with a barrier, this place gives her the feeling more like an independent space.

　This idea could not be dispelled after it appeared in her mind, which made Nina even more curious about Lin Xuan. Whether it was the independent space just now or the independent space-like barrier she was in now, they were not something that ordinary people could possess. Even the True Ancestor might not be able to possess them.

　However, not long after Lin Xuan put away the gold, the dark red ripples that appeared in the void also disappeared.

　As the dark red ripples disappeared, Nina withdrew her gaze. No, it would be better to say that she shifted her gaze to Lin Xuan rather than withdrawing it.

　After all, the unknowns about this leader made her curious. Not to mention anything else, his identity as the Fourth True Ancestor made her curious. For her, who had survived for more than 270 years, she knew quite a bit about the Fourth True Ancestor. According to the information she had learned at the time, the Fourth True Ancestor was not a male, but a female. This alone made her curious.

　Glancing at Nina, whose eyes were filled with curiosity, Lin Xuan curled his lips and said, "If I really have to give a reason, one is that I am curious about alchemy and want to learn it. Finding an ordinary alchemist can't satisfy my needs, but a master alchemist is not that easy to find, so I thought of you. And—" Lin Xuan continued with a slight smile.

　"As someone who has transformed his flesh into an immortal metallic life form—the 'Sage's Spiritual Blood'—you possess magical power that rivals that of a True Ancestor. While magical power doesn't fully represent strength, a vast magical power zone provides a foundation for formidable power. For someone like me, who is accumulating strength to establish my own Empire of Night, you are a formidable force."
