Chapter 408: Bloodline and Authority
Chapter 408: Bloodline and Authority
The black abyssal tide permeates the entire Endless Abyss, and Qin Muye maintains it to prevent it from leaking out.
He is no longer the same person as before. If the abyssal tide were to leak into the Underworld, it would likely cause a lot of trouble.
After all, this isn't air freshener. Even though the Underworld is vast and sparsely populated, it cannot be casually harmed.
Besides, Hades has helped him a lot, and although Qin Muye is ruthless, he has never been ungrateful.
"The system is integrated, but the passive abilities are too strong. I need to find a way to turn them off."
After analyzing the Black Abyss Emperor, a Mythical-class profession, Qin Muye gained a lot. The carrier of this profession is not text but a very abstract black gas. Both Epic and Mythical-level professions have special carriers.
As for using it, he won't. Not to mention that he can no longer use some of the items from Lord Era normally, even if he could, he wouldn't risk it.
Ordinary or rare items might be fine, but anything Epic or higher could cause problems, especially since he is no longer semi-digitized. Who knows what might happen if he uses them.
However, that doesn't mean he can't use it at all. This is a tangible thing, and in-depth analysis is still possible.
Thanks to the Black Abyss Emperor's profession voucher, Qin Muye was able to quickly reorganize himself, forming his own abyssal system.
Like magic, what he has now is very different from what he started with during his initial meditations. However, Qin Muye still uses the same term.
He no longer meditates, as it serves no real purpose. If he were to rely on meditation to level up, he might never reach his current height in a lifetime.
"Master, Hades has arrived," Black Hand reported through the magic network.
"Let's meet," Qin Muye didn't refuse. Although the final touches on his system integration were not yet complete, a little more time wouldn't hurt.
Hades soon walked in, looking at Qin Muye with a serious expression. "You've changed a lot. It's been so long since we last met, and your Titan bloodline and authority have grown to be on par with mine."
"Rushed, but it can't compare to you. Sit down," Qin Muye stretched, his body encased in Xuanjun's shell. His current form is more like that of a primordial deity rather than a Titan.
Like Gaia, whose true form is the earth.
"Seems like you've regressed to a primordial deity? That's quite rare. Was it Lord Era that brought this about?" Hades sat down and accepted a drink from a sprite, asking with curiosity.
"Yes, it is. I've also opened up new authority, similar to Tartarus, but it's not a hell. It's pure chaos," Qin Muye explained briefly.
"It looks a bit strange," Hades wasn't particularly concerned.
Qin Muye raised an eyebrow. "Do you want to try it?"
"Become a primordial deity? I have no interest in that. Why do you think I need it?"
"Among the Titans, bloodlines don't have tiers."
"Being older doesn't necessarily mean being stronger. My father, the second-generation god king Cronus, is powerful not because he is Gaia's offspring, but because of his authority."
"Titan bloodline is something everyone has. Heracles is half-man, half-god, yet few can match his valor."
"What truly defines us is the authority that comes with our duties. In the Underworld, even Zeus cannot shake my position."
Hades sensed Qin Muye's understanding of the Titans.
"That's interesting. Bloodline has such a different meaning here," Qin Muye showed curiosity, as in his understanding, bloodlines in fantasy and mystic worlds are naturally stronger the older and closer to the source they are. However, Hades revealed more.
Then Qin Muye realized that, while this world is based on Greek mythology, its true name is Fairy Tales. In other words, what seems logical and reasonable here is often not a concern.
Typhon and his wife have been dead for countless years, yet they can be resurrected at will.
This completely defies logic, but it fits perfectly within a fairy tale.
Hades continued, "If we were to evaluate a fairy tale using the standards of a mystic world, you would be completely at a loss on how to handle this uncontrollable hierarchy. The so-called bloodline is just you; there is no high or low. Perhaps the offspring of the Titan gods seem a bit strange, but there is no such thing as a decrease in bloodline concentration. Even Heracles, who was once half-man, half-god, became a Titan god after his death."
"Have you ever seen a mortal's offspring with a diminished mortal bloodline? Assuming there is such a thing as a mortal bloodline."
Hades added, "If the farther you are from the bloodline's origin, the weaker it becomes, it would mean that the race is mutating. For example, if humans started to show a decrease in bloodline concentration after three to five generations, would they still be human? So, as Titan gods, whether third-generation Titans or primordial gods, their bloodline remains fundamentally unchanged. The only thing that changes is their authority."
"Oh, I see. Bloodlines themselves have no distinctions; the true difference lies in authority. The primordial gods are powerful because their authority and responsibilities are too strong," Qin Muye finally understood. No wonder the bloodline enhancement he created seemed strange among the Titan gods. One reason was that it was self-made, and the other was that his authority wasn't fully established at the time.
Later, when he became a human bloodline, his authority was fully established, which is why he developed such powerful abilities.
Just like Tartarus, who is synonymous with hell, and Hades, who is the king of the Underworld. They seem similar but are entirely different. Tartarus is the hell itself, while Hades is its ruler. Therefore, Hades' position and authority far surpass Tartarus'.
"But that doesn't make sense. How do you explain those strange creatures, like Cerberus or the monsters killed by Heracles? They should have Titan bloodlines, and under normal circumstances, they should have authority," Qin Muye suddenly realized, wondering about the nature of these creatures.
"Of course, they do. Cerberus is the guardian of the gates of hell, which is his duty and authority. As for the others, is causing disasters enough?" Hades replied.
Qin Muye was speechless: "So, being a menace is their authority, and then they get killed by passing heroes."
He was about to say he was envious, but upon reflection, few of these monsters had good endings. After causing chaos, they met their end.
"So, I don't need to enhance my bloodline because from the beginning, I was the same as them, with no difference in bloodline," Hades explained.
Qin Muye thought for a moment. Why do mystic worlds have bloodline decline? The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became.
"Alright, I came back this time because my server crashed again, so I'm thinking of switching to a new server," Qin Muye said.
Hades looked at him oddly, "I remember your last server also crashed?"
"No, the previous one wasn't a crash. A powerful figure awoke, forcing me to retreat. This time, it's truly crashed. The rankings and the Point Shop are all offline," Qin Muye explained.
Besides, he always had a solid plan. At most, it would be a crashed instance world, not the server, as the server is the foundation.
Although he now has two transfer vouchers to run away at any time, it doesn't mean he would act recklessly.
As a villain, he generally has lofty ambitions, such as ruling the world, eliminating pain, or reshaping the entire world. Qin Muye has been working towards these goals, like ruling the world, not exploiting but liberating the oppressed workforce.
"Alright, I believe you. This wasn't your fault. When do you plan to leave? Your territory has caused some changes in the Underworld. Next time you come back, I suggest you come alone," Hades said.
"..." Qin Muye felt a bit embarrassed. Well, it seems like he was being asked to leave. He knew his territory wasn't exactly a pleasant place, but it didn't have to be said so bluntly.
