Chapter 1258: The True Pride of the Heavens! (1/2)
Qin Lie was shocked beyond belief.
He could never have imagined that Indigo, the peerless descendant of the Spirit Race, would be the baby girl Seine was holding back then.
It was so absurd that he simply stared at her and forgot to speak for a very long time.
“You don’t believe me?” Indigo asked softly.
Still wearing a shocked expression, Qin Lie shook his head and replied, “I believe you. How can I not, when you know Seine and what happened back then?”
“Is there anything you’d like to ask then?” Indigo said.
“Anything I’d like to ask…” Qin Lie frowned and pondered for a moment. “Even if you’re that baby girl from back then, what does it have to do with me? I don’t understand why you stopped your clansmen from attacking me earlier.”
He couldn’t help but recall the bloody battle against the Eight-eyed Demon Spirit at the eastern barbarian lands back then. At the time, the Eight-eyed Demon Spirit had sucked much of his blood. In a fit of madness, he responded by consuming its blood in return.
After that, the Eight-eyed Demon Spirit had perished completely. Seine was the one who carried Indigo — who was just a baby at the time — into that bluish realm.
Thanks to the Eight-eyed Demon Spirit’s blood, Qin Lie obtained the bloodline ability “Star Door” and began his venture into the arts of space.
Of course, the Eight-eyed Demon Spirit was the key to Indigo’s survival.
Technically, the the invading Land of Chaos martial practitioners and him were the Eight-eyed Demon Spirit’s enemies, so he counted as Indigo’s enemy as well.
Since they were enemies, it didn’t make sense for Indigo to stop her clansmen from taking his life.
Moreover, Indigo clearly knew who he was back when she met him immersed in cultivating the Tombstone Fusion Art.
He had nearly killed her in a rampage, but not only did she not take revenge against him, she even forbad the Spirit Race clansmen from harming him as well. It was simply illogical.
“Do you remember the Eight-eyed Demon Spirit sucking much of your blood back then?” Indigo suddenly asked.
“I do.” Qin Lie answered.
“Your blood is the reason I came to be. Your blood is the real reason I survived.” Indigo looked completely serious when she said this. “Your blood is different from others. It is thanks to your blood that I awoke to space, time, life, and fate attributes all at once after I had returned to the Spirit Race. And just now, your blood was once again the reason why I could soothe my bloodline. I can sense from your bloodline that you possess five strange beasts, am I right?”
“It’s all because of my blood?” Qin Lie was astonished before realization struck him.
His blood was the so-called Perfect Blood. It could absorb nearly every bloodline there was.
The Eight-eyed Demon Spirit had wanted to absorb his blood because he was mixed-blood of the God Race, but it didn’t know that his blood was different from all other God Race clansmen!
Obviously, the Eight-eyed Demon Spirit had poured all of the blood it absorbed into Indigo’s body.
It probably had no idea just how miraculous the blood it absorbed for Indigo was right up till the moment it passed away.
“After returning to my homeland, I gradually realized that the reason I was able to awaken all four bloodline attributes was thanks to you.” Indigo paused for a moment before continuing somewhat timidly, “I know it’s a little strange, but technically speaking you’re… like half my father?”
“Fa… father.” Qin Lie muttered blankly.
“Mn.” Indigo nodded slightly. “A big part of the blood that flows inside me is yours, so you and I are definitely blood-related.”
Qin Lie was absolutely flabbergasted.
