Age of Adepts

Bloodlines, that's one of the most cherished issues in the wizarding world!

Bloodline determines your personal starting point and future potential, while pedigree determines whether or not you will be accepted by another group of people.

Sorcerer families were able to emerge by relying on a small, closed circle formed around a certain core bloodline.

Take Grim for example, he was already a Legendary Fire Witch with a rank up to 4th level. If he was able to leave behind a bit of his core bloodline, then the youngsters in his direct descendants who awakened these core bloodlines would have a far greater affinity for the fire element as well as weak law power than their peers.

This would also mean that Grim's bloodline descendants possessed far superior sorcerer talents and basic data from the moment they were born!

The probability of them advancing to a high ranked Sorcerer was also much higher than their peers.

These kinds of advantages were something that ordinary Sorcerers could never achieve!

However, like streams, bloodlines became increasingly muddy and mottled as the years passed and other bloodlines converged. Often, after several generations of transmission, the elixir and law breath of the core bloodline would be gone, gradually morphing into an ordinary bloodline.

Therefore, in order to preserve the concentration and purity of the core bloodline to the greatest extent possible, many sorcerer families had strict family rules that only allowed family members to combine within the family, and rejected the inflow of foreign bloodlines.

Therefore the larger the Sorcerer Family, the more common it was for inbreeding to combine. The direct result of this was that there were more and more deformed offspring in the Sorcerer Families, and geniuses and idiots always appeared along with them.

Many high-ranking shamans will continue to try to combine with a large number of the opposite sex in their long life journey, in order to be able to produce the next generation with their own original bloodline. However, with the increase in strength and the deepening of their own sorcery transformation, this hope has become more and more diminished.

By the end of the day, the terrifying energy radiation of the High Sorcerer herself was no longer within the reach of a mortal woman. I'm afraid that the other party will die in her arms before a romp is over.

As a result, the high ranked witches could only target middle ranked witches or some otherworldly female creatures to continue their offspring.

Some of the more radical sorcerers have even begun to consider breeding to 'make' their own offspring by bloodline synthesis, to avoid the inefficient and all-consuming success of hermaphroditic reproduction.

In the past, Grim was always busy with countless enemies to deal with, and didn't have much time to think about offspring or bloodlines.

However, today, as the situation in the middle of the continent became clearer, and the Crimson Family's strong rise to power was unstoppable, this deep-seated problem that was hidden amidst the victories and garlands slowly surfaced.

It was time to have a child of their own!

Somehow, as soon as the idea popped up, it instantly took over Grim's entire mind like a weed from birth, making him a bit distraught as well.

With his current situation, the path of trying to birth a baby with a mortal woman was completely cut off.

Human beauties were all over the place though, and no one would refuse his advances.

However, his life factor was as strong as a monster to a mortal woman. The terrifying flame radiation could kill most of the life forms in the world, not to mention those extremely fragile female eggs without the slightest ability to resist.

And he currently had dealings with two high-ranking witches, Mary and Alice.

Mary had an even stronger bloodline power, and anyone she crossed paths with to be born would only be a vampire and nothing more. Therefore, if one wanted to conceive the next generation, the only suitable person left would be Alice.

It was just that Alice had been hiding inside the Destiny Witch Tower for years, and it was difficult to meet her. I wonder if her identity as a Fate Witch would have any special effect on the conception of the next generation....

Grim held his chin in fascination, but in his mind he had given Chip a new task.

"Chip, begin a new study immediately...on how my bloodline descendants should be generated?"

"Drops, the research topic has been created...the target information has been extracted...the preliminary summary is as follows:"

"Massive data screening, targeting all known females..."

"It has been estimated that the females below order 2 have been ruled out and cannot withstand the subject's life factor energy radiation..."

"Reproduction of the bloodline with a female of order 2 as a gestation for the subject, with a survival rate of 3 or 6% for the offspring and 21% for the mother... with a female of order 3 as a gestation, with a survival rate of 8 or 1% for the offspring and 52% for the mother.... "

"The appropriate gestation bodies for the target area are Meryl, Emelia..."

"Among them, the Meryl Red Dragon bloodline has the highest compatibility with the main body, and conceiving a viable child will increase its base attribute by 32%, with a 34% chance of explicitly inheriting the Red Dragon bloodline (Note: for each failed conception, the mother will lose 7% of her power, and that loss is irreversible).... "

"Emelia has a plant-based gift, which conflicts with the subject's original bloodline... The recovery properties of the viable daughter will be significantly enhanced, with an 11% chance of explicitly inheriting the plant gift (reduced viability of the conception and deeper damage to the mother).... ..."

"Among 4th order females, it is strongly discouraged to use Mary as a gestation...the chance of a viable zygote explicitly inheriting the vampire bloodline is 100%, and the process is not adjustable..."

"Target creature: Alice, 4th order, human female... This target is the best conception within the subject's sampling range, and the creature possesses a destiny gift that perfectly blends with any of the fae gifts... Note 1: Destiny gift to the zygote. Possesses positive effects, with immeasurable effects... Note 2: This target creature requires a small boost to its physical attributes before it can be used as a gestalt..."

"Also attached, the prescription for improving the physique is as follows..."

Northland, Destiny Gauntlet.

In a spacious and bright witchcraft hall, Lucia and several other witches were sitting around a wooden table, listening to Alice's lecture seriously and carefully.

The woman who was standing in the middle of the hall was wearing a soft silk robe that showed off her exquisite figure, with a jade white belt around her waist and long, satin silver hair falling behind her. Her face unusually soft and quiet, narrow phoenix eyes in the pair of azure eyes is particularly dazzling and deep, the hands and feet are giving people a kind of mysterious taste.

It's obvious that just as Alice was carefully explaining the manipulation of the fate sorcery to a few people in a delicate voice, a sudden chill came over her heart.

Without using a divination crystal at all, or a prophetic scepter, Alice detected the source and cause of this intense 'malice' almost with a slight gaze.

"Grim, you're just a bastard..." one moment was gentle and serene Alice the next moment became a fried Persian cat, casually gathered a purple light and threw it into the void.

The void tore, and the purple light flickered in and spiraled away.

However, at the moment when the void was about to close, the several women faintly heard a miserable scream from the opposite side.

The voice was somewhat familiar... it seemed to be that legendary Fire Witch Grim who reigned in the middle of the country!

Several of the women were fiercely startled, then secretly squeezed their eyebrows together.

At the suggestion of her companions, Lucia quietly put her small hand under the table, took out the crystal ball of prophecy from her sleeve and started to slowly fight with it.

The thick and tumultuous fog of fate inside the crystal ball began to gradually dissipate, and the moment some strange images were about to be shown, a scream of Alice gnashing her teeth suddenly came from inside Lucia's ear.

"If any of you dare to use prophecy indiscriminately, I'll punish you with three years of being a witch's instructor!"

Lucia's heart was shaken, and in a moment the sorcerous power dissipated, and the destiny prophecy that was about to take shape evaporated. The crystal ball was once again clouded with fog, and not even a ghost could be seen.

'Fiercely' shocking a few disciples, Alice reached out and grabbed it, and the prophecy scepter silently emerged.

Grasping the Scepter of Prophecy, Alice breathed a sigh of relief as she quickly cast the Fate Banishing Technique, completely messing up the events leading up to that scene.

The interdiction technique she cast with the Fate Scepter, other prophets even if they had the intention to probe, but as long as their power couldn't break Alice's seal, it would be impossible for them to peek into the slightest bit of the scene just now.

Seeing this scene, several of the witch disciples along with Lucia revealed a disappointed and lamenting look.

The teacher was befriended by that Grim... this secret was known to almost everyone of the Fate Witches!

But to what extent were the two parties interacting, what intimate actions did they have... these were all things that the curious ones were unusually interested in.

Unfortunately, the teacher was worthy of being the leader of the Fate Witches, and the Fate power play was much more proficient and pure than them, never revealing any flaw. This also made the witches' gossips' hearts burn with gossip, but they couldn't find any cracks to peek through.

Teacher's 'shame and anger' just now must also have something to do with that legendary fire witch... I don't know what that guy did to provoke Teacher so....

A few of the female witch disciples raised their heads in stunned disbelief, looking at their teacher's face, which was shyly turned into a red apple, and their inner gossip couldn't help but burn even hotter.

What exactly had that fire witch done?

...................

Alice's casual strike was nothing to her, but on the other side, a human tragedy nearly brewed!

The purple light passed through tens of thousands of miles of bit space, ignoring the protection of the layers of witch formations and exploded directly in the room where Grim was resting.

The ferocious lightning turbulence caused Grim to be in disarray in a matter of seconds.

And this 'attack' on him immediately triggered a strong chain reaction.

The Worm Wizard Billis, who had been guarding the door, sensed that something was wrong inside the room, and while quickly transmitting the message of the attack to the Crimson Fleet outside, his body was filled with black fog, and his body exploded into a pit full of valleys of black beetles, which rushed into the door like a black wave.

Every move of the Grim Residence undoubtedly affected the hearts of all the 4th rank witches as well.

As soon as they sensed the bursting ripples emanating from the Grim Residence, all the Level 4 Sorcerers were immediately moved and couldn't help but bet their suspicions on where the Milva Sorcerer was.

The Crimson Fleet that was hovering over the Annemado Academy also instantly held up their energy shields, and the magic cannon that represented the giant ship's strongest attack slowly protruded out, its muzzle aimed towards the direction of the academy.

The screeching sound of energy gathering resounded throughout the sky!

The 4th rank Thunder Lord Ames cursed repeatedly as he soared up from a floating giant ship, and the mercurial and violent dragon power spilled down....

The whole scene was on the verge of tension!
