-30- Sebas's purpose in life
Regarding the origin of the blood clan, there are different opinions on the Miria continent.
It is said that it was the first time that the elves who fled their homeland set foot on the continent of Miria three thousand years ago, accompanied by the bloodline curse brought about by their intermarriage and fusion with humans.
It is said that it is an undead army created by an ancient god in the battle of the gods that has long been buried in history.
However, no matter what the legend is, there is a mysterious and great being mentioned in any origin.
He is described as the most ancient of the bloods, the source of all blood, a true myth.
He is the Ancestor of the Bloodline, a being who is revered by all the Bloodlines as the True Ancestor.
No one knew what the name of the True Ancestor of the Blood Clan was.
Some say His name is Cain, some say He is Lilith, some say He is an elegant man with a gloomy face, and some say He is a beautiful woman that even the gods would admire.
It is also said that the True Ancestor never had a name.
He is Him, and He is the True Ancestor.
In the era when the True Ancestor walked the earth, the Bloods controlled the pinnacle of secular power, and almost every country had their shadow behind the scenes.
Until the Bloodline Civil War.
No one knows what really happened to the Bloodline Civil War two thousand years ago.
Time can drown everything, it turns history into stories, stories into legends, and eventually legends are buried in the long years.
All it is known is that from then on the Bloodlines began to decline.
True Ancestors became a thing of the past, and the Blood Clan split into the Six Great Clans, beginning a long and brutal infighting.
At the same time, the Divine Court, which ruled the entire continent, also began to rise from this moment.
Today, there are only five of the six major clans of the bloodline left.
In the thousand-year holy war, the Holy Court buried the past and wrote a new history, and the blood clan was completely labeled as evil, and could only live in darkness......
The old woman's tone is gentle and vicissitudes, telling the secrets buried in history.
Sebas's expression grew solemn.
"So...... What about the True Ancestor of the Blood Clan? Where did He go? β
He asked.
"I don't know ......"
The old woman shook her head.
"Some say He was betrayed by the Bloodline and fell, others say He disappeared, others say He was discouraged and tired of being a god and went into self-exile......"
"However, there has always been an ancient prophecy among the Bloodlineβ"
The old woman paused, looked solemn, and said slowly:
"When the First Patriarch returns, He will return to His throne, and all those who betray will be punished!"
Sebas's heart jumped, and then he fell silent.
After a while, he suddenly said faintly:
That is to say...... Sooner or later, he will return? β
"That's not what I know, I'm just an old woman who is about to sink into the ground, as for this ancient prophecy...... To be honest, even many of the Bloods have long since stopped believing it. β
The old woman chuckled.
But as she spoke, she looked solemn again:
"However, even if a lost myth returns, it will not be easy, and in the process of regaining the throne, there will be all kinds of difficulties......"
"If you're not careful, you'll fail."
"Of course, if He does return, then...... In this era of the true God's retreat, a storm will be set off that will sweep the whole world! β
"Some will benefit from this, and may even follow in His footsteps to the throne."
"Some will be destroyed, even if it ...... It's a god on high! β
Listening to the old woman's words, Sebas's eyes flashed with a hint of essence.
His hands clenched subconsciously, then released again, and then clenched subconsciously.
And his mood was like a tsunami, with turbulent waves and stormy waves.
Returning gods!
There's a good chance the Night Lady is a returning ancient deity!
Sebas's heart was screaming, roaring, trembling!
At the same time, there seemed to be some kind of thought in his heart that was churning and growing......
Anyone has ambitions and pursuits.
With a long lifespan, Sebas has long lost his purpose in life, and apart from the troubles brought to him by the Adam Order, he only lives a boring life day after day.
It's boring, uninteresting, and tiresome.
He was not in the mood to intervene in any strife.
In his opinion, even if it is a myth that is high above, those demigods who are admired by all beings are just afterglow under the light of the true gods behind the scenes.
But now, it's different.
He suddenly realized that he had probably come into contact with the real majesty behind this world!
Follow the demigods and become a legend in the epic at most.
But following the true god has a chance to become a myth written on the murals!
I have to say that Sebas was a little moved.
Mythology!
That's a myth!
That means true eternity and the reverence of all beings!
If the desire in the heart is not strong enough, it can only be said that the temptation in front of you is not strong enough.
What temptation could be more appealing than following in the footsteps of a true God, witnessing Him return to His throne, and witnessing His splendor shine back on earth?
The gods never treat His followers badly.
And the story of following the gods to become a demigod or even a true god is not uncommon in the history and legends of the Miria world!
The more Sebas thought about it, the more excited he became.
He only felt as if there was a fire burning in his heart, and his heart was pounding.
It was as if he had seen a path that he had never thought of before, and that he had never hoped for.
His expression was constantly changing, his breathing was becoming rapid, his face was becoming rosy, and his eyes were becoming brighter......
It wasn't until a long time later that he gently closed his eyes and regained his composure.
And when he opened his eyes again, the pair of crimson pupils were full of unprecedented firmness.
He decided.
He must seize this golden opportunity to hitchhike with the Night Lady and see the never-before-seen scenery higher up!
At this moment, Sebas has never looked forward to the re-summoning of the Night Lady as much as he is now!
"Sebas...... Your eyes change. β
Looking at Sebas's expression, the old woman showed surprise:
"I can feel that your heart no longer seems to be as confused as it used to be......"
"You seem to have found your way."
"Can you tell me, what came to mind?"
Sebas's gaze slowly fell on the old woman.
He was about to answer, but suddenly paused.
After hesitating for a moment, he smiled slightly:
"Nothing, just little things."
With a change in thinking comes a shift in the way of thinking.
When he decided to follow the Night Lady, who was likely to be the resurrected True Ancestor of the Bloodline, Sebas found that many of his thoughts had changed.
For example, looking at the prophetic witch with the eye of foreknowledge in front of him, a trace of vigilance suddenly appeared in his heart:
"You can't tell her about the Night Lady!"
"At least...... Not now! β
"She's too mysterious, and she's too powerful."
"The Night Lady hides her identity, obviously not wanting more people to know about his return."
"As the object of the Night Lady's summoning, I have a duty and obligation to keep His secret!"
"Even if it's to tell Anna the secret of the Night Lady and pull her in...... That is also for the future, and it must be approved by the Great Being! β
"I am the summoning object of the Night Lady, and only I can become the first family member of the Great Being to walk on the earth!"
Sebas persuaded himself as if he were self-persuading.
Perhaps he himself couldn't fully tell if he was really just thinking about the Night Lady, or if he was also a little worried that someone else would rob him of the position closest to the god.
"The return of the gods must be accompanied by visions, maybe I should check to see if there is anything related to the continent of Miria recently."
"I can't just pin my hope on the re-calling of the Night Lady, but I should take the initiative to seek Him, to approach Him, and to offer Him my loyalty!"
"I want it as soon as possible, I have to do it as soon as possible! I'm not a Bloodline, and if the Night Lady finds a match among the Bloodline, I'll lose my advantage......"
"No, I need to go back quickly, investigate the news of the cursed pages as soon as possible, and find as many cursed pages as possible!"
Sebas quickly made up his mind.
And once he had made up his mind, he could no longer sit still.
I saw him stand up suddenly, put away the wine glass elegantly and briskly, and smiled decently:
"Ms. Anna, thank you for your doubts, this is the reward for this time, please accept it."
As he spoke, he took out another ornate ring and placed it on the table:
"I suddenly remembered that there were other things to take care of, so I'll be here today first, and I'll come back next time when I have time."
With that, Sebas hurriedly saluted the old woman, and then departed in style.
Looking at the back of the other party's departure, the old woman's gaze did not move for a long time.
After a long time, she sighed softly and scolded with a smile:
"What a rude old fox!"
Soon, however, she coughed violently again, and an unnatural pale appeared on her old countenance.
The maid Rena hurriedly greeted her, her red golden eyes full of worry.
"Rena, I'm fine......"
The old woman waved her hand lightly, and looked at the girl with a loving gaze.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, she gently took the girl's hands and said softly:
"Rena, you've followed me...... Ten years, right? β
The girl did not speak, but nodded obediently, and her cute appearance was pitiful.
"It's been ten years......"
The old woman sighed.
"Time flies so fast, ten years have passed in a flash, your appearance has not changed at all, but I am already old."
"Perhaps...... That's the price of the Eye of Foresight, it gives me magical powers, but it also takes away more hope from me......"
The old woman let out a long sigh and seemed to fall into memory.
After a long time, she regained her grip on the girl's hands:
"Rena......
This time, her expression became more serious than ever:
"If one day I'm gone, go look for Sebas."
Rena shuddered slightly.
She raised her head, her big eyes instantly filled with mist, and her eyes were full of pleading and reluctance.
The old woman was stunned for a moment, then smiled:
"What's that look on your face? I'm not abandoning you. β
As she spoke, she sighed softly:
"It's just...... I'm running out of time. β
"I can't be by your side all the time, let alone shelter you for the rest of your life......"
"But he's different......"
"I don't know exactly what happened to him, but ...... I saw in him a new prophecy, a possibility! β
"That's not just his hope, it's your hope."
"He must have met something, and your fate ...... Perhaps only the kind of power he encountered could change. β
"Rena......
"You must remember that when I'm gone, I'll look for him."
"I believe that the power to change him will also be ...... for you Bring a new lease of life! β
