Why Am I a Priestess When I Reach the Maximum Level? Vol 3. Chapter 34: Bloodline from Ancient Times

“So, what did she say?”

Leila hesitated for a mont before speaking in a sowhat perplexed tone.

“She referred to us as descendants, and called us betrayers. But my sister and I have only been alive for a little over seventy years, and aside from the past few years, we’ve basically only interacted with our kin within the clan. How could we betray anyone? So, I was wondering if it might be because of the changes in our bloodline that she mistook us for sothing else?”

“Descendants, huh...”

That’s a bit intricate.

Violet still rembered that when she first awakened the Seth fragnt in the statue of the Sky Goddess, the other party ntioned that the scent of descendants was mixed with the priestess’s, leading to a misunderstanding.

Although she didn’t pay much attention to it at the ti, thinking back now, could it be referring to Leila and Rene?

Violet knew about the reversion of the bloodline on the sisters, perhaps inheriting to so extent the original ancestry of the winged people—the angelic lineage.

However, she couldn’t understand how this was related to the Goddess of Earth.

Angels, legendary creatures created by the gods and dispatched to the mortal realm to convey the divine blessings, although not comparable to true deities, were still powerful beings capable of reaching a pseudo-deity level.

As the era of myths ca to an end, with the gods silent and no longer directly intervening in the mortal world, the activity of angels began to rapidly decrease. Essentially, they vanished from records around the sa ti as the blood vampires. There were now very few detailed records about these creatures in the Human United Kingdom.

So Violet’s understanding was not very clear.

However, soone might know.

“Just wait a mont.”

The black-haired girl shifted her gaze toward the statue of the Sky Goddess on the table.

Since absorbing the essence from another fragnt, Seth’s perceptual range and mory had significantly expanded. Now she could observe real-ti scenes and sounds within a small range. Even without direct contact, as long as soone like Violet, who had established a certain connection with her, was within a one-ter radius, they could communicate directly across space.

Although it required a bit more effort than direct contact, it also had the advantage of being more discreet.

At present, Violet had no intention of letting too many people know about this statue and the secrets related to the Goddess of Earth.

【Seth, did you hear that? Can you recall anything?】

After a mont, a voice, slightly weaker than when in direct contact, entered Violet’s mind.

【Hmm, actually, I rembered so of this from the beginning. It’s just more complete now. Judging by the appearance of these two girls, they should be pure-blood winged beings. Violet, do you know how the original ancestors of the winged people ca about?】

【Wasn’t it a mix of angels?】

【Yes, but hybridization usually involves the combination of two different bloodlines. You’ve only seen one half. Have you ever thought about what the other half, aside from angels, might be?】

【Huh? Not humans?】

Seth chuckled lightly, seemingly pleased with Violet’s spontaneously incorrect guess.

【Of course not.】

Oh?

Winged beings... they aren’t actually a mix of angels and humans?

In fact, it wasn’t just Violet making assumptions. The main description of the winged race in almost all the records in the HumanUnited Kingdom considered them as hybrids of humans and angels. Even in the general knowledge of the grassroots in the Azure Sky Kingdom and most countries around the world, winged beings, aside from their wings, appeared almost identical to ordinary humans.

Without any suspense, Seth straightforwardly explained.

【Angels are the seventh-tier beings created by the gods. A few of them can even reach the eighth tier close to the level of demigods. On the other hand, humans are just the most common and lower-tier race in the world. The average strength, lifespan, tier, and cognition of the two sides differ significantly. They are not like dragons, which indiscriminately mate with other species. How could they possibly co together?】

Although the words were not particularly polite and even carried a hint of belittling humans, for so reason, Violet, who had once been human, did not feel much resentnt. Instead, she began to ponder the possibilities in Seth’s explanation.

Indeed... it makes sense.

From the perspective of humans, they might consider their race as the foundation of all things, the core of the world with irreplaceable intelligence and creativity.

However, the more Violet delved into understanding the various races in this world, the more she felt the inherent smallness and frailty of humans.

Short lifespan, poor unity, low average strength, and the difficulty of breaking through to higher tiers—all of these aspects made humans seem feeble. The only positive aspects were their short growth ti and relatively large population.

Although Violet didn’t quite approve of terms like “lower-tier race” or “inferior race” that carried a sense of disdain, it was undeniable that humans themselves were not the indisputable core of the world. They were looked down upon by many higher-tier races and even considered as food.

The exclusivity of the Human United Kingdom, in a certain sense, was also a ans of self-preservation.

She decided not to delve too much into this topic with Seth.

【From what you’re saying, do you already know the other half of the bloodline source for the winged beings?】

Seth didn’t hesitate.

【Godly beings, offspring born of gods. They are the true origin of the human race. Humans themselves are a race derived from the degradation of the bloodline of godly beings, or you could call them the foundational race. That’s why they look very similar in appearance, making it entirely possible to be mistaken.】

After so thought, she added.

【In fact, most races in this world likely originated from the nurous gods born through natural ans and gradually evolved. But truly being able to be called the children of gods, there’s only the godly beings, a bloodline directly created by gods through a special thod.】

Godly beings...

Contemplating this impressive title, what ca to Violet’s mind was the so-called usage conditions ntioned by Duke Julius Constantius back in the Blood Clan Manor.

Direct bloodline of gods... does that sound sowhat similar?

However, he ntioned at that ti that Lucine Constantius, this second-generation Blood Royal, also t the conditions for using the bequest of gods. Could it be that Lucine is also a godly being?

The concept of these godly beings seems quite broad.

There’s also Mr. Nicholas, who is said to have used the Wishing Spirit Treasure before. Violet is quite sure he is one hundred percent human. What’s going on with that?

Well, her thoughts are wandering a bit too far. For now, let’s focus on Leila and Rene.

【So, in your eyes, are these two sisters a mix of an angel and a godly being?】

To help Seth feel more clearly, Violet signals for Leila and Rene to co a bit closer.

【What do you an “in my eyes”? Never mind... Although many mories of this body are already blurry, I won’t mistake such a classic species obviously blending the aura of the earth and angels. But it’s a bit strange... why are there still such weak pure-bloods preserved in the world after a thousand years?】

【Well... I’ll explain it to you when there’s a chance. Thanks.】

Continuing this would be endless, so Violet temporarily interrupts the topic and turns to the sisters who have been waiting silently for a long ti.

If what Seth said is true, then Leila and Rene should now, in essence, be classified into the category of mythical beings. And the shattered scenes they ntioned in their minds should be unique mories of the inheritance of higher beings. But how should she explain this to them?
