Capítulo 49: Elf Bloodline

3 months had passed since the day they conquered the Batak moon. The Liberation army in conjunction with Axolot was able to end the war entirely and bring about an era of peace to Hazmit. Liberation city became the capital of the new world and stood as a model of what the next cities would become in the near future. The population of the city grew to 100 million in those three months and as a result, although there wasn't anymore battle or bloodshed there were still many problems to solve. Society had been warped far beyond its limit and had effectively broken into pieces at the hands of the Batak and Yamir. There was deep seated distrust and hate for the other side that was ingrained into their minds. This was solvable however since no one had any deep hatreds since no one had any family or lovers in the first place.

Jessica and Michael capitalised on this by establishing themselves as the new king and queen. It was a powerful move thought up by Axolot to gain the peoples trust and began to establish a sense of normalcy. This wasn't an easy task though, as the people of Hazmit believed that the Batak and Yamir were gods and they were their servants. The common consensus was that the other side had attacked their respective gods and that was the reason for the war. This was only solved when Axolot stepped forward and explained the truth to the world. Even then many still kept their prejudices and hatred towards the other side. Only time would be able to quell such segregation.

For now though, they had decided to effectively split the world into two and designate each side to one of the races so that there wouldn't be trouble for now. Liberation city was moved into the centre of the border of the two sides and was crowned as the capital. The Liberation city was open to anyone from either side and was the beginning of the emergence of a new era in Hazmit.

While this was all happening the trio was also going through their own major changes too. Johnny was nearly finished with building the clan and was completely absorbed in this project. Delilah was preparing for when they would have disciples by setting down vital formations such as the affinity testing formation that was a degraded version of the one in the Garden. The Garden's formation could show any affinity that one had in a written form that was highly accurate but the formation that Delilah could put down was only barely a 3rd tier formation and was thus far weaker. This formation could only tell the 5 basic elements and not any special types like gravity, chaos or mind. It was also more rudimentary and showed its results in the rudimentary form of an elemental apparition. This meant that if one had a fire element affinity then this would be shown as a flame of various sizes, a water element affinity was a water ball and so on. This was a less accurate form and could only tell someone their greatest affinity instead of all of their affinities' gradings. If Johnny were to use this then only a towering tall tree would appear to show his divine wood affinity and not his other affinities, for example.

They also began to create cultivation grounds for the 5 basic elements by growing certain elemental herbs in different sections. Delilah consulted Orion and Acacia and found that when it came to building a lower levelled clan, the most important factor was resources, time and environment. Talent didn't matter at all until one reached the 4th tier, and even after it was still inferior to elemental affinity. This was shown by how although Lucius was a great cultivation talent, Johnny was able to catch up to him because of his divine constitution that gave him a divine level affinity. If ones affinity was great enough, talent was irrelevant. Another way to think about it was that talent was a measure of how fast you could reach a destination but elemental affinity was the scope of the destination itself. Someone with high elemental affinity could reach a higher stage of cultivation than someone with great talent, albeit they would reach there a lot slower.

This was all in preparation for the next world they would be going to, a high grade tier 5 world! They had been given the mission by Orion to completely conquer this next world and only once they owned the entire world could they continue on!

For 2 of those 3 months though, Lucius had been in a coma! After the drop of red blood from the formation seeped into his forehead, he had collapsed and fell into a coma. Delilah had rushed up and brought him to Orion straight away, crying and screaming along the way, afraid that he was dead or something. Orion on the other hand was only surprised and not worried. After calming Delilah down he began to explain that this merely was the procedure for bloodline absorption. It was a sign that Lucius had already unlocked his royal bloodline ability, bloodline absorption! The process of absorption was the initial phase of this bloodline ability though, as once one had absorbed it, one would then have to assimilate it into oneself in order to utilise it. Lucius was currently going through the assimilation stage so his body had automatically shut down his mind to let him go through this process pain free, after all he was rapidly changing his body in various ways.

The elf bloodline Lucius absorbed was actually quite weak though so once he woke up two months later he only found some minor changes. In total, the changes were: increase in lifespan/longevity, increase in wood elemental affinity, increase in beauty and finally increase in archery skill level. Lucius was a genius so the longevity was useless, the increase in beauty was marginal since he was already truly handsome and the archery was minor because he never used the bow normally. The best change was his increase in wood affinity but it didn't really matter as it would only take Lucius some time to reach that anyway. After he found all of the changes, Lucius was quite upset that he had wasted two months for something that didn't really affect him but Orion assured him that this was only the beginning. Next was the most important phase of the royal ability, Bloodline Enhancement! With time and various techniques and treasures, Lucius would be able to increase the bloodline level and thus increase the corresponding effect.

There were three main ways to increase bloodline level: 1) Absorb more blood. 2) Dual cultivate with someone of that bloodline (preferably someone with a high grade of that bloodline). 3) Natural treasures and pills. Out of these three ways, the most effective was the blood absorption while the weakest was the dual cultivation. Hearing of the 2nd method, Lucius asked Orion if he had the Lazarus bloodline in him but he responded that it was a different thing. The dual cultivation could only enhance a bloodline and not help someone gain a bloodline. Since Orion had never slaughtered the Lazarus to begin the bloodline absorption he didn't have the 'bloodline base' as he called it. He explained that usually the first and third options where the most available since it was hard to find a woman that was willing to dual cultivate with a man that just slaughtered her clan.

After that, Lucius had begun to put his focus into forging. He had to create the training apparatus, the water condenser, the heating system and some weapons. He didn't do this all personally but made factories that created them by utilising qi instead of fossil fuels. The clan grounds was at the level of tier 5 ambient qi so the factories' production would not affect the future disciples. The next thing he had to do was create pill making factories, the pills that he would manufacture would be healing pills, qi gathering and qi replenishing pills and body cleansing pills. The body cleansing pills were a newly thought up pill that he created using the golden apples and his knowledge of marrow cleansing pills and blood refining pills. The marrow cleansing and blood refining were tier 3 pills but Lucius could use their recipes to create his own with the help of Acacia and the methods in the Cosmological Art. The resultant product was a yellow pill with a light shine that could cleanse the body of impurities and help enhance muscle growth. The pill wasn't as effective at cleansing marrow as the marrow cleansing or as good at refining blood as the blood refining but in the overall effect, it was nearly equal! This made the pills a top grade tier 2 pill!

PENSAMENTOS DOS CRIADORES

The 2nd volume is coming to an end now.

This volume was mainly for me to explain bloodline abilities and to bring in higher forms of technology which will be the driving force that helps them conquer the tier 5 world in the next volume.

I started the new year of college so I've been swamped with work so, sorry for the late release. I'll probably stop releasing as much as I did in the summer now but I'll try my best to get out a good amount of content at least.

Thanks for reading guys, much appreciated.
