"The master was once a mortal?"
Sebastian felt a flicker of sothing in his heart.
As an Elf who had lived for hundreds of years, he was not unfamiliar with the mysteries of the deities and was aware that so myths indeed portrayed mortals ascending to Divine Positions.
However, that a deity as mystical and ancient as the Blood True Ancestor also had a past as a mortal was beyond his expectations.
He had always thought that the Blood True Ancestor, like those Old Gods of Mireya, belonged to those born of mythical tales.
Sebastian was surprised by the secrets Lord Yulster spoke of.
Of course, it wasn’t just Sebastian who was surprised, Charlotte was as well.
"These Divine Halls were built by Lilith? To return? To bring about the resurgence of the Ancestor?"
Relying on the connection of the Blood Holy Scripture to "peep" at the two Favored, a certain ’Count’ looked perplexedly animated.
It was unclear whether she was overthinking or whether the reality was as fantastical as it seed.
Yulster’s words made it difficult not to lead her to so far-fetched speculations:
"Wait... Could it be that I really crossed over when I ascended, and that Lilith is indeed the historical Blood True Ancestor, and the so-called Ancestor is actually ?"
The bold idea was quite a leap.
But once Charlotte entertained this notion, combining it with the "dream" she had while asleep, there was a ridiculous sense that sohow everything might make sense.
Of course, this speculation was only based on the chance that she had truly traveled back in ti, that what she saw was indeed the later True Ancestor Lilith, that Lilith’s Ancestor was really her who had crossed over, and... that what Yulster said about the purpose of this Ancient Hall was indeed to resurrect the Ancestor.
Could it be such a coincidence?
Charlotte was uncertain.
However, no matter what secrets were hidden in it, there was one thing Charlotte could be sure of.
This Ancient Hall probably indeed buried sothing she needed!
The reason was simple; upon seeing this Ancient Hall through the vision of the two Blood Favored, Charlotte could distinctly feel the pulsation of the Blood Holy Scripture deep within her consciousness.
That feeling... it was as if sothing beyond this stone door was calling her.
Regrettably, it seed so force behind this stone door was severing her connection with Nisi.
Although she could feel that the Black Cat was still alive, and the other party had probably entered this Ancient Hall as well, she could not make any contact.
It must be so kind of power that could suppress the Soul Contract.
Luckily, the Position of the Blood Holy Scripture clearly ranked higher, and this force seed to have no effect on Sebastian and Yulster.
Even now, as the two stood before the stone door, Charlotte felt no interference in the connection between them.
"Heh, I now finally understand why Count Your Majesty specifically wanted to co here for support, it seems... Ancestor knew all along that there was an Ancient Hall buried here!"
"Let’s go, Lord Sebastian, let’s go in and take a look," Yulster said with a smile.
After speaking, Yulster took the lead and stepped forward.
Sebastian hesitated for a mont but then followed.
Even Charlotte, secretly observing, was on high alert, ready to use her connection to the two to invoke Divine Power for a "Divine Possession" at any mont.
Yulster reached out, a drop of crimson Bloodline Blood condensing at his fingertip, gently touching the stone door.
The next mont, the entire stone door blossod with a crimson glow and then opened by itself.
Charlotte curiously peered into the interior through their vision.
Behind the stone door was a dark space, an ancient and dilapidated floating stone path led to the depths, surrounded by broken floating architectural debris.
"This is... a different space?"
Sebastian felt a flicker in his heart.
"Yes, every Ancient Hall is built within a different space," Yulster nodded slightly.
Then, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and upon reopening them, his eyes burning crimson in the dark depths had an added fervor:
"Summon... I feel the call of the Bloodline! It’s in the depths!"
With that, he quickened his pace and walked toward the deep darkness along the stone path.
Charlotte also felt that the pulsation of the Blood Holy Scripture beca stronger.
A feeling akin to a call from the Bloodline, even through the Blood Summon, reached her heart.
Looking at Yulster quickening his pace, Sebastian’s brows furrowed slightly.
In his heart, he silently prayed for the True Ancestor’s blessing, and after making the sign of the thorny rose over his chest, he rushed to follow.
The two made their way down the stone path, deeper into the darkness.
As they moved forward, Charlotte felt the mysterious summoning grow stronger, and Yulster’s pace quickened.
His eyes turned a blood red, and his expression beca increasingly fanatical.
Sebastian sensed that sothing was amiss.
"Lord Yulster? Are you alright? Lord Yulster?"
He called out.
However, Yulster did not answer and instead spoke to himself with manic fervor,
"I’m coming! I’m almost there! O supre sovereign! The savior of the Descendants of Blood!"
Charlotte also realized there was sothing wrong with Yulster.
In her "vision," a dark red force gradually enveloped Yulster, and within her consciousness, the planet in the Crimson Star Sea that symbolized Yulster was being slowly covered by a dark red fog.
This was... Spirit Manipulation!
Charlotte was slightly shocked within her heart and quickly mobilized her Blood Divine Power to reach out towards the "star" that represented Yulster.
In an instant, Yulster felt a close and magnificent power brush past his heart, and all sorts of mad thoughts receded as rapidly as the tide...
His blood-red eyes soon cleared, and his forward progress slowed significantly.
"Lord Yulster, are you alright?"
Watching Yulster co to a sudden halt, Sebastian unconsciously gripped the hilt of his sword and asked cautiously.
Only then did Yulster realize what had just happened...
"Damn, it was the Blood Demon Duke’s specific temptation for the Bloodline to fall, and I got caught by it without noticing."
He spoke with a look of relief.
After speaking, he traced a thorny rose symbol on his chest and looked up at the sky with gratitude,
"Praise you, great Ancestor, you... saved once again."
Only when he saw Yulster make the thorny rose symbol, did Sebastian’s tense heart relax.
"Lord Yulster, let’s be careful. There’s sothing evil about this place."
He said with a grave tone.
This ti, Yulster did not disagree, but simply nodded,
"Indeed, it seems the Blood Demon Sect has taken over this place. I was too careless just now."
The two continued deeper along the stone path.
And as they moved further, one body after another appeared in their field of vision.
These bodies, so clad in armor or noble robes, were all facing the direction of the stone door entrance, as if they had been fleeing towards the entrance to the different space in their final monts.
Their faces were struck with terror, twisted in ferocity, completely drained of color.
Observing their lifeless crimson eyes and sharp fangs, Yulster’s gaze beca focused,
"Bloodline?"
Sebastian, who was very familiar with the Northern Land, noticed a common family crest on the bosoms of these bodies, which imdiately solemnized his expression,
"Not only that, they... all belong to the Legris Family."
A weak cough echoed from a distance, instantly catching their attention.
"There’s soone still alive!"
They quickly sought the source of the sound and soon found a dying Legris Family knight.
Yulster approached the knight, casting Dark Healing Technique and Mind Soothing, while softly asking,
"What happened here?"
"The Evil... Evil God, hurry... run away..."
The knight spoke in fits and starts.
Upon finishing, the light in his pupils faded.
Evil God?
Yulster and Sebastian looked at each other, both startled, seeing a hint of surprise and doubt in each other’s eyes.
At that mont, a sense of alarm instantly rose in their hearts. Almost simultaneously, they leaped backward, and in the instant they jumped away, a corrosive Dragon Breath descended from the heavens, striking where they just stood.
With a dragon’s roar, an imposing Black Dragon appeared before them.
"You have co faster than expected."
The Black Dragon spoke with a voice that was crisp and cold.
