Myth: The Spiritual Dominator

Chapter 550 The Logic of the Abyss

The power of blood and the path of blood sublimation sound extremely similar to the divine blood flowing in the bodies of the descendants of gods in the human world.

But the Dragon Mother knew very well that both the life of the abyss and the blood of the dragon clan were completely different.

The divine blood of the gods is merely an external inheritance, while the blood of the abyss and the dragon clan has a highly consistent and upgradeable complete system.

The simplest manifestation is that the descendants of the gods will hardly change their appearance because of the divine blood, nor will they really possess the same lower-level divine power as the gods.

The sons of Zeus can be close to thunder and lightning, but they will never gain demigod power by manipulating thunder. They may even have no connection with thunder at all. The same goes for other descendants of gods.

After all, the authority of the gods is held through the priesthood, and the authority that comes from the world cannot be inherited or divided through blood.

In contrast, this is not the case with dragons and abyss demons.

Creatures with dragon blood will have their life forms increasingly approaching the state of their ancestor as their bloodline reverts to that of their ancestors, and their strength and abilities will change as well.

Different kinds of demons can also complete the changes in the essence of life in the process of blood sublimation, and even directly undergo racial leaps under chaotic rules.

The gods in the world cannot understand this situation. After all, in their view, it is impossible for divine power, especially the source of power that creates authority, to increase in volume out of thin air.

No matter how you look at it, the mere sublimation of blood in the realm of life cannot create a priesthood, or the unique abilities of great demons that are inherited from the great divine power and involve the rules themselves.

The Dragon Mother said that this was indeed the case, because source power would not be born out of thin air.

What the gods don’t know is that they can reunite and return the scattered ones to their original state. This is the essence of the sublimation of the bloodline of a god-level being.

For example, if the Mother of Dragons dies one day in the future, the blood shackles of the dragon clan born from her will be opened.

The most powerful among them may be able to achieve sublimation and transformation, and then step into the realm of Dragon God.

In this process, the power they gained was obviously not created out of nothing, but came from the part that was scattered deep in the dragon bloodline after the death of the Dragon Mother.

Scattered and gathered, with one race as the main body, allowing the power to be passed down from generation to generation in the blood. Even if there is no immortal essence, it is equivalent to allowing this race to obtain an alternative "immortal strong man". This is the path to blood sublimation.

In contrast, the gods are immortal and their divine authority is eternal, so for the gods, this is something they will never be able to understand or achieve.

"But this bloodline path is not without its drawbacks. On the one hand, as the source of bloodline, it is not easy to create a race on your own."

"On the other hand, as successors who enjoy the bloodline's preferential treatment, they cannot surpass the bloodline's source while it is still alive. And even if the source is dead, it does not mean that everything is fine."

"Just like those descendants with my blood flowing in their veins... If I really die one day, whether they inherit my power and become new dragon gods, or become the carriers of my resurrection after successfully sublimating their bloodlines, it all depends on their own abilities..."

He pondered in his heart, and there was a slight gleam in the depths of his narrow eyes.

In other words, the Mother of Dragons was able to confirm that her creator only provided part of the power. In fact, in her perception, she herself should be the true origin of the five-colored dragon clan's bloodline.

Otherwise, as a natural evil god like Hypnos, no one knows what she will do.

However, as the source of blood, although she no longer needs to worry about the pressure above her head, if the Mother of Dragons wants to continue to increase her strength, she can only ask for help from the outside world.

This is also one of her purposes for entering the abyss, because the bloodline path in the abyss is actually more twisted.

Many of the so-called 'bloodline sources' of the abyss demons can be traced back to the first six demon gods, while the rest are simply a collection of chaotic source forces from alien worlds.

[Wanyuan Plains] There was once a great demon who was about to unify the interface. The direction in which he chose to sublimate his bloodline was the foreign powers in Tartarus that Chaos could hardly digest, and he tried to use this to become a demon god.

This is very common in the abyss, and not even necessarily the great demons on the verge of unifying the first level can be promoted in this way.

Perhaps it was just a blood mutation that turned a certain abyss demon directly into a new demon god with some of the chaotic origins of foreign gods, and then evolved into a corresponding demon race under the power of Tartarus, adding a new type of existence to the species diversity of the abyss.

Of course, the road to becoming a god in one step sounds good, but there can’t be any pure and beautiful things in the abyss.

Because these demons who chose the dangerous path are more likely to be killed on the spot by the conflict between the chaotic origins during the promotion process, and then they themselves will become a carnival of flesh and blood of low-level abyss demons.

Even though the demons who have unified a layer of the interface can receive the blessing of the will of the abyss during their promotion, thereby greatly increasing the probability of successful promotion, this probability is still not absolute, so the [Wanyuan Plain] is still ownerless today.

To put it more bluntly, according to the display in the Lord's Seal, the number of demon lords who have died in the war with Hell throughout history is probably not even a fraction of those who failed in their promotion.

The bottomless abyss is vast and endless. Although the Dragon Mother has the mark in her hand, she has no idea how many layers of the interface exist.

Almost every once in a while, a demon god would fail to advance, causing unrest in the space where he was located... and then strengthening the power of the entire abyss.

Yes, although Tartarus does not have a complete consciousness, he is not a complete madman.

This simple and crude way of promotion that He chose for the creatures in the interface is not without benefits, because in this process, whether successful or unsuccessful, the abyss can use this behavior to a certain extent to speed up the digestion of these garbage sources and make it obey its own laws.

If a demon is lucky enough to become a stable new demon god, he can absorb all these powers in one breath.

And if they are unlucky, it will just be that the demon who is about to become a god will use his life to help the Mother of the Abyss to resolve some conflicts between the chaotic source forces. As long as he eventually dies in his own world, it will not be considered a loss for the Abyss.

A chaotic world requires chaotic solutions, and garbage can be made less garbage by using violence.

This is the logic of the abyss, and it is a path that is completely different from the step-by-step advancement of the gods under the laws of the material world.

When this was first discovered, even the giant snakes in hell were amazed.

It bluntly stated that if the order of the world undergoes a drastic change one day in the future, Tartarus is likely to take this opportunity to become the undisputed end point outside the order of Chaos, and even gain power comparable to that of the mother tree.

Of course, if that day really comes, I am afraid that from now on, the "Will of the Abyss" will always be just a simple "will".

He will become an existence similar to the trumpet law of the present world, completely become a macroscopic world idea, and even be assimilated into one aspect of the world. There will no longer be a possibility for Him to walk in Chaos from the perspective of an independent god - although He has never had such a possibility since the creation of the world.

"Well, Master Colonides."

The thought only flashed through her mind, and the Dragon Mother did not intend to explain it in detail.

She simply raised her hand and shot a stream of light towards Zeus, which contained a little common sense about the abyss.

"After I sorted out the Lord's Marks, I have found the area and path that are suitable for us to go to next."

"It's just that according to our previous agreement, I need you to help me take the position of lord there. And after that, I will fulfill my promise."

He raised his hand to take the information, and the God King's mind passed through it.

However, seeing that the other party was well prepared, Zeus felt as if he had been tricked again.

I remember that when I was still on earth, I took the initiative to invite Erebus out of courtesy.

But at that time he never expected that the other party would agree to it right away. Even looking back now, it was probably not a spur-of-the-moment idea at all, but a long-planned one.

"...So, Your Excellency Dragon Queen, the reason you were able to completely conceal my presence and traces was not because of the Dark Lord's authority over the [Secret], but because you were planning to use the power of the Abyss from the beginning?"

"Yes."

"Didn't you ask this before? All great powers that do not belong to the Abyss will be rejected by Him. Only the power of the perfect God King can remain effective in Tartarus. Apart from this, even the original gods cannot avoid it."

"And that is indeed the case. Even the great Lord of Darkness has no way to deceive His laws within the body of the Abyss. So my initial plan was to become one of His 'own' people."

The Dragon Mother spoke lightly, with a cold expression.

The Lord of Darkness once joked that the present God-King devoured his wife who possessed wisdom, but he seemed to have only used this wisdom in certain places, and it was not known whether this was some kind of backlash of fate.

Although she had never met the God King, she knew from the preparations of this Olympian god that there might be some truth to what Erebus said.

"Let's go."

"With the mark of a secondary lord, the passage to the abyss is open to me."

"But if I use it to cover up for you, you can only hide it from those with the authority of a secondary lord or below."

"If I want you to be able to freely travel to and from the Abyss, then you must first help me become a true lord of the abyss. Then you can go and find out the news about the mysterious great man in the abyss, and we will part ways there."

For the Mother of Dragons, becoming the Lord of the Abyss is certainly not her only mission on this trip.

In fact, before she actually entered Tartarus, she didn't quite understand that the way to become one of the Abyss' own was so simple.

The abyss of chaos did not reject her ideas at all. As long as there were no priests under the laws of the world, Tartarus would welcome all outsiders.

But it is always better to have a simpler task. After mastering one level of the abyss, she should go to complete the real order of the Lord of Darkness.

"……it is good."

"...According to the agreement between the God King and the Lord of Darkness...I will provide you with 'military' assistance as promised."

"When that time comes, I hope your 'Lord's Mark' will really be as you said, and can conceal it from all beings of the same level."

Taking a deep breath, even though he felt like he was being led by the nose, Zeus had no choice but to accept it for now.

The abyss is not the real world, and this is not a place where the authority of the God-King can reach.

Besides, it’s better to separate. After all, finding out the news and whereabouts of the big snake is only one of Zeus’ goals. Besides that, he has other things to do.

The attraction that has been vaguely present in his heart since the end of the last era has not yet ceased, as if the mysterious laws of the world have been reminding him that there is something in the abyss that is closely related to him.

"Erebus is really smart. Even if the dragoness didn't tell me, I wouldn't have continued traveling with her."

'So he included my departure in this, or was it just a coincidence?'

With an unchanged expression, Zeus browsed through the interface information given to him by the Dragon Mother in his mind.

The other party does not seem to intend to occupy the [Wanyuan Plain], even though it is a very powerful level in the entire abyss.

After all, as the outermost interface of the abyss, it is not only connected to the outside world, but also has spatial connections with nearly a hundred large and small levels.

A place where four wars collide and a strategic gateway are formed. If there is no one as powerful as Oceanus, Coeus or even Athena in such an important place, occupying it would only be asking for trouble. The Dragon Mother would obviously not be so stupid.

What surprised Zeus was that the layer of abyss chosen by the other party did not seem to be the other powerful levels.

Even with a free helper like herself, she still chose an existence that looked ordinary.

"...According to the information, this is a level that is obviously affected by the power of the alien world. Or it is just like 078-2 [Molten Pillar] and 116-3 [Land of Burning Silence], which are fragments of the alien world that were shattered and absorbed by Chaos."

"I know. The Land of Fire, Muspelheim."

"The previous demon seemed to have inherited the power associated with it."

Recalling the documents of Asgard, Zeus spoke slowly.

"Yes, and so are the ones I chose."

"If nothing unexpected happens, its predecessor might be a corner of a prison... and its name obviously inherits the style of that place."

She spoke softly, and the Dragon Mother's right hand clenched in mid-air.

"It is the remains of the Land of Mist... the remains of a foreign land..."

"Interface 338-0, its name is [Nibelungen]."

The information provided by Erebus did not contain too many details, and he did not know that the way the Dragon Queen accepted the transformation of the Abyss was to become a Pit Lord.

Therefore, the decision on which floor to occupy is entirely up to the Dragon Mother herself.

And just like Zeus felt the attraction in the abyss, the moment she saw the name, her intuition told her that this was her best choice.
