Chapter 936: The Secret of the Snake Lord

Bloodline Conversion?

Upon hearing the rejection of what seemed like the most plausible explanation from the Taurus Director, Lyon couldn't help but furrow his brows and ask, "So, what you're saying is..."

"I mean, this might truly be a bloodline exchange ritual."

"???"

As Lyon showed a hint of bewilderment, the Taurus Director closed her eyes briefly, then opened them, her face filled with regret as she explained, "Normally, such a thing is impossible, but the exception is the abnormal Bi Secret Art of the Snake Lord Palace... Now, I highly suspect that the Snake Lord Director didn't die in the Thirteen Ant Nests but managed to survive."

"If this was indeed his doing, then he must have temporarily replaced the missing 'One Hundred and Twenty Million Materials' with something else and forcefully initiated the bloodline exchange ritual, intending to gradually swap the bloodlines of the two countries. But I haven't figured out what his ultimate goal is..."

The Snake Lord Director?

Hearing the name from the Taurus Director's mouth, a name he had heard countless times before, Lyon couldn't help but ask thoughtfully, "What was it that he wanted to do during the Snake Lord Erosion incident back then? If the low-grade fever syndrome this time is indeed his doing, is there a possibility that he wants to try again?"

"Back then..."

After a brief hesitation, the Taurus Director's expression became complex as she spoke, "The cause and effect are quite complicated to explain... The official internal statement is that he initiated a rebellion, planning to sacrifice all the citizens of the Eastern Carleva Kingdom to ascend to godhood and turn half the world into his divine kingdom."

"But that's not the truth. It's just a statement made to avoid chaos. There are many hidden details about that incident, and only the directors who made the decision at the time and Oliviah, who was in charge of the operation, know the full story."

Indeed, the director had not shared the truth with Lyon in the past but only disclosed the surface-level statement internally.

Lyon's eyes revealed a hint of understanding as he stared intently at the Taurus Director's eyes, listening to her continue, "The Snake Lord Director was actually Oliviah's cousin. Due to the close relationship between the Twin Realms, although he was born in the Eastern Carleva Kingdom, he grew up in the court of the Western Carleva Kingdom and was close to Oliviah from a young age... Oh, and there's something else."

At this point, the Taurus Director hesitated again, then turned to Lyon and said softly, "He's a bit like you."

"???"

The Snake Lord Director and I... are a bit alike?

Lyon unconsciously touched his face, his eyes filled with bewilderment, upon hearing this.

"I'm not referring to physical resemblance, but there's a similarity in the impression you both give off."

After glancing at Lyon's peculiar expression, the Taurus Director shook her head and explained, "You both have that special 'drive'—a strong dissatisfaction with the status quo and various issues, and whenever there's an opportunity, you always try to change something."

"Additionally, you both have immense confidence in yourselves, believing your judgments to be absolutely correct and that you can completely transform everything... It's something like that."

"Moreover, he also became a director at a young age, just like you, and his attitude towards outsiders is equally as tough. However, his personality is much more extreme than yours, and his methods are more excessive... Well..."

The Taurus Director paused for a moment, then couldn't help but glance at Lyon before continuing, "In terms of methods, you are more excessive. In this aspect, he can't compare to you. But compared to you, who knows how to draw a line, he doesn't consider the consequences as much when taking action."

"..."

Seeing Lyon's slightly speechless expression, the Taurus Director sighed and said, "Although he was from a branch of the Eastern Carleva Kingdom's royalty, his parents passed away at an early age, so he had a rather difficult life. He witnessed many unpleasant things from a young age."

"Even after joining the Bureau, he didn't meet a director like you, such as Oliviah, but instead encountered... some officers with less than stellar work ethics. As a result, he also came to despise many aspects of the Bureau."

"So, after becoming a director, he was like you now, attempting numerous large and small reforms. For example, the investigations you underwent for accidentally injuring a large number of nobles were rules he established back then."

"Laine, was it a Blood Night?" She asked, her eyes narrowing slightly. "It wasn't an accident, but it doesn't matter now."

Lyon, slightly perplexed, blinked and asked, "So, he doesn't sound like a bad person?"

"He's not a bad person, but he's too impulsive."

Looking at Lyon, who seemed younger, more energetic, and more talented than the former Snake Lord Director, yet seemingly more ruthless in his actions, the Taurus Director couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt. "His intentions are good, but many of his measures were poorly thought out. Our Cleanup Bureau, with just a small action, can affect hundreds or even thousands of ordinary people, causing chaos and casualties."

"So, when we realized this, a few of us old-timers, more conservative, started to intermittently reject his proposals, hoping he would slow down and avoid overly radical changes. We wanted him to at least test it locally, confirm there are no major flaws, and then implement it."

"But after rejecting his proposals multiple times, he probably felt restrained and started to complain about us, even the Bureau. So, he began searching for alternative methods."

Alternative methods? Lyon's heart skipped a beat at this revelation. He asked, struggling to keep the disbelief out of his voice, "He chose to sacrifice the citizens of Eastern Carleva to ascend to godhood and then forcefully push his ideas with absolute power? Is he insane?"

"Something like that..."

The Taurus Director sighed, "He does want to impose his will with absolute power, but the method he chose is slightly better than a sacrifice. His approach is closer to a transformation."

"Transformation?"

"Yes, using the secret technique of the abnormal birth of the Virgo Bureau, connected through bloodlines, he would unite with the stolen Crimson Blood and use their combined form to replace the blood of every citizen in Eastern Carleva.

At that point, the entire kingdom's citizens, wealth, society, land, and even the existence of the nation itself would become a living anomaly. With his power rivaling that of the current Olivia, he would likely gain strength surpassing the Pillar Deities."

Lyon couldn't help but hiss in response. Merging oneself with a pile of blood to become the blood of a nation with over a hundred million people, using it to achieve one's goals... Cleanup Specialists were indeed a crazy bunch.

After a moment's hesitation, Lyon cautiously asked, "His methods are extreme, but he seems to be on the Bureau's side. If that's the case, why would the Bureau use the Thirteen Ant Nests to erase him and all the citizens of Eastern Carleva?"

"Yes, if that were the case, it wouldn't have come to that."

The Taurus Director closed his eyes briefly, his eyes filled with pain. "The key lies in the blood he used... It was drawn from the corpse of one of the Supreme Four Pillar Deities, the Crimson Ruler. Only the 'Red King's' truth has the supreme power to connect with the will of one hundred and twenty million red blood cells."

"Pillar Deities never truly die, but human lifespans are limited. Will and soul can be worn down, even for those who ascend to the Palace of Observation. Over time, even the souls of those who sit in the palace will be gradually eroded."

"Even if the Snake Lord's self is strong enough to suppress the will within the blood, over time, with the impact of countless different wills, he will eventually lose himself completely.

And when that day comes, the unbound Crimson Ruler will revive within the bodies of one hundred and twenty million humans and countless more with their bloodline! Even if he firmly believes he can maintain his self, even if he assures us there won't be any problems, we can't gamble the future of all humanity on this!"
