Chapter 838: Long Haochen’s Ancestry? (III) (2/2)
“Shut up!” Long Haochen yelled out, “You’re lying! I don’t believe you!”
The Demon God Emperor smiled indifferently, “It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not. This is the truth. Think about all the times I’ve met you in the past. If it weren’t for my bloodline flowing through you, you would have died many times already. I met you for the first time in the Exorcist Mountain Pass, while the second time I met you was in the Moon Demon Palace. Back then, you were disguised as Yue Ye’s maidservant. I knew since then that you had an extraordinary connection with her. However, I never touched you, nor did I take you back to the palace, because I was waiting, waiting for you to grow. Once you obtained enough strength to raise my attention, your status as a second successor because established as well. However, I never thought you would grow so quickly and possess such surprising talent. It seems like combining the bloodlines of humans and demons really does make it even more excellent!”
“No, no! I don’t believe you!” Long Haochen’s heart surged with utter shock. Before he was even ten, he became determined to become a knight. In the past twenty years, he had gone through all kinds of hardships, falling over countless times and also climbing up, coming close to death constantly and growing through battles. He had reached today step by step, finally achieving greatness. He had become the chairman of the Temple Union and the Divine Knight of Glory and Leadership. It was possible to say that he had spent his entire life working towards this, finally reaching today with sufficient luck.
Now that the demons and humans clashed for one last time, when he believed he was about to face the emperor of the demons in a final battle, he learnt that his body actually contained the blood of demons, coming from the Devil Dragons. The impact was just far, far too heavy.
No matter how strong-willed Long Haochen was, he struggled to control his emotions then and there. If the Demon God Emperor was telling the truth, then what had he been working towards all these years? Before him, the demon who had brought countless calamities to mankind and started two holy wars was actually his…
Long Haochen was afraid of thinking any further. He only felt that his head was in pain. As he looked at the Demon God Emperor, his fighting spirit had been completely destablised. The aura of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation even struggled to keep his emotions under control.
Looking at Long Haochen, the Demon God Emperor was very satisfied, “You’ve done a lot and I’ve also committed many mistakes. However, one of them was right, which rendered all the efforts that the humans put in earlier void. I know you don’t want to believe it, but whether you believe it or not, it’s the truth.”
“I’ve investigated your history with great detail. You didn’t grow up in the Holy City or the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, right? You come from Odin Town, probably a human township close to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass. You and your mother depended on each other since you were born, while your father, Long Xingyu, was separated from the two of you for ten years. Only afterwards did he find and recognise you two. I remember that my subordinates had once reported to me that the Divine Knight of Adjudication and Trial appeared near Odin Town and killed a group of my powerhouses. That was probably when he discovered you. And when he began teaching you knight abilities, have you ever considered why your parents separated? Your mother knew Long Xingyu was a divine knight and that he happened to be at the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, so why didn’t she take you to go find him?”
Long Haochen’s face became paler and paler as he listened to the Demon God Emperor.
“Around thirty years ago, about a year before you were born, I accidentally discovered your mother and I brought her back to the Demon God Palace to live with me for a while. Afterwards, she threatened me using her own life, saying that she did not want to live among the demons any further. With no other choice, I sent her back to the Temple Alliance. Your mother’s one of the few women I’ve loved the most in my life, even surpassing my feelings towards Leng Xiao. If I’ve guessed correctly, she did not know how to face your father after she returned to the Temple Alliance, which was why she settled down secretly in Odin Town. The reason why Bai Yue was unable to face Long Xingyu until he found the two of you was because of me, and also partially because of you. If you don’t believe me, we can test our bloodline. Blood runs thicker than water. There is no such thing closer than bloodlines.”
As he said that, Fengxiu raised his hand and a droplet of deep, purple blood slowly oozed out from the wound on the back of his hand. He had purposefully prevented the injury from healing. The blood drifted over slowly and as it did, black and blue auras emerged and were severed from it. When the droplet of blood arrived before Long Haochen, all that was left was a transparent purple colour.
The Demon God Emperor had eliminated all the elements from his blood, only leaving behind the most pure power of the bloodline.
Long Haochen brought his index finger to his mouth and bit it rather blankly. Red blood that shone with a faint, golden colour dripped out and also flew into the air like the Demon God Emperor’s, removing all of the light element from it.
When the droplet of red blood and droplet of transparent, purple blood came into contact, the two droplets of blood produced a strange light at the same time. Afterwards, they slowly merged together.
Long Haochen was stunned. He knew exactly what it meant for blood to merge. Did it mean…
