Chapter 1177: Chapter 531 The Real Blood Clan Ancestor_2
If the Blood God had been a purely benevolent deity, the Lamp God would certainly not have shown such a sigh.
"Later, the lineage of the Blood God became tainted..." the Lamp God said with a bitter smile.
"Tainted?"
"We are not quite sure of the specifics, but from a certain day on, Lilith’s disposition changed drastically, from good to evil. It is said that, in just one night, she killed her thirteen descendants and stopped researching how to use the Blood God’s power to heal and save others, instead focusing solely on studying combat techniques with Blood Rhythm."
"If it had been just that, it might have been alright. A deity’s attributes of order and chaos are determined by their Divine Power itself and do not shift with the current reigning deity’s will, while good and evil depend solely on the deity’s personality. For example, as a successor of the God of Order, you could freely choose to follow a path of benevolent order, malevolent order, or neutral order, as long as you stand on the side of ’order’, the Divine Power will not abandon you."
"Thus, historically, it is not uncommon for deities to switch from good to evil or vice versa; this is a personal choice of the deity, and there is nothing to be overly criticized."
"The problem is that after Lilith turned towards the path of wickedness, she became uncontrollable and soon showed signs of becoming possessed. The Path of Blood is different from other divine paths; progressing in the Path of Blood does not require faith, only blood. To further enhance her power, Lilith created the ’Red Sea,’ a sea entirely made of fresh blood, supplied by her believers."
"Whereas the relationship between other deities and their followers is usually mutually beneficial, the Blood God was unilaterally exploiting her believers and also used a ’Blood Bond’ to forcibly bind all believers in the lineage of blood, making it impossible for them to disobey or betray."
"Later, when the blood pool supplied by the believers alone was no longer sufficient for her, Lilith launched a ’Blood Plague’ within the realm of the Divine Race."
"Blood Plague?" Mu You asked.
"Yes, she transformed her own blood into a highly contagious strain, first transmitting it to her existing believers, who then secretly attacked ordinary divine beings. Those bitten by these Blood Clan believers were forcibly turned into Vampires, thus becoming Lilith’s descendants."
"Using this method, Lilith quickly expanded the number of her followers and her powers also rapidly strengthened, even surpassing all other deities, becoming the most powerful deity of that era."
"It goes without saying, though her strength increased significantly in a short period, she almost offended all other deities."
"To stop the Blood Plague and also to protect their own interests, deities of various factions came together, captured Lilith, and forcibly subjected her to Judgement!"
"In this Judgement, a total of one hundred and thirty-two crimes were charged against the Blood God, stripping her of all her rights as a deity, and all the divine beings spreading the Blood Plague were also captured and executed. After a great purge, the Blood Plague was finally eradicated..."
"However, the seeds of sin had already been planted, and the lineage of the Blood Plague had spread. Though these carriers feared the overt pressure and had to hide their true selves, the Blood Plague lineage within them would not simply disappear and could potentially become sources of new outbreaks. These carriers came to be known collectively as ’Vampires.’"
"In normal times, the Vampires hid among ordinary people, indistinguishable from ordinary Divine Race beings, but in the dead of night, they lurked in dark corners, attacking lone tribe members to consume their blood for energy."
"Fortunately, the Vampires, knowing they are parasites that should avoid the light, for fear of being collectively attacked again, specially established a ’reclusion’ pact among themselves. Without permission, they vowed not to spread the Blood Plague to expand their clan and always kept the population within a controllable range, taking care to discreetly feed on blood without revealing their Vampire identity in public."
"It is precisely because the Vampires remained low-profile enough and the other divine beings had their own concerns, unwilling to continually waste efforts on them, that everyone turned a blind eye, not eradicating the Vampires completely..." the Lamp God reminisced on his own.
After hearing all this, Mu You frowned, "What about after the trial? Was the Blood God executed?"
The Lamp God shook his head, "Originally, the plan was indeed to execute her, but when it came time to carry it out, there was a problem: by then, Lilith had almost become the most powerful deity in the whole world, having absorbed the entirety of the ’Red Sea’s’ blood, she had attained the ability of immortality. Even if we sliced her into pieces and reduced her to dust, she could quickly reassemble!"
"At that time, Lilith’s only weakness was sunlight, but even sunlight couldn’t kill her completely, it could only ensure that she lost her divine power..." The Lamp God recalled the scene with a sigh.
"What was the final outcome?" Mu You asked.
"We couldn’t subdue Lilith, and considering her many good deeds from before, we decided not to annihilate her completely. However, though she could avoid a death sentence, she couldn’t escape punishment. In the end, we divided her immortal body into six parts—torso, limbs, and head—and sent them to various hidden locations around the world, locking them in places where the sunlight never faded. This was both to seal her power and to punish her with the eternal torment of burning under the harsh sunlight as atonement."
"However..." the Lamp God suddenly paused, hesitating slightly.
"However, what?"
"The day after we completed the sealing of Lilith’s body, her head disappeared without a trace. At the same time, in the Star Spirit World, the server that originally belonged to Blood God also went into a hidden state and never appeared again until the Divine Race perished..." the Lamp God sighed.
"I see..."
Mu You took a deep breath, now fully understanding the encounters within the game.
Apparently, the woman in red in the game was Blood God Lilith, and the monstrous baby was Vampire’s Ancestor, Cain. She was using the story of the Flash Spirit Manor as a metaphor for her own experiences in reality.
Originally, Cain, as a mortal, was cursed by a deity, stripped of everything, and cast out to exile. On his journey of exile, he met Lilith. The benevolent Lilith took him in, not despising him, and treated him as her own child, feeding him her own blood in hopes of ridding him of the curse.
The ring that Mu You had found earlier was likely crafted by Lilith for Cain as well.
The subsequent story followed the same pattern as in the game; initially, Cain was attached to Lilith, viewing her as a mother, but Lilith’s other twelve successors wouldn’t accept him.
Mu You didn’t know the intricacies of the deception and betrayal that occurred between them, but the end result was that Cain drained Lilith, merging with her and acquiring the power of the Blood God.
After merging with the power of the Blood God, Cain became the first embryonic form of a vampire, making it not incorrect to call him the Vampire’s Ancestor.
But strictly speaking, the real ancestor of the Blood Clan was still Lilith; she was the source of all the Blood Clan’s power, while Cain was merely a "God Stealer."
The bloodline of the Blood Clan was originally noble, representing the warm, benevolent, and inclusive Savior’s blood, yet it was tainted by Cain into a parasitic line full of darkness and evil. All the descendants of the Blood Clan had to follow him, forced to forever endure the curse of fearing light and fire.
Mu You sighed. Having understood everything, he also figured out who the Admin was—none other than Cain himself.
This was also why Cain was so adamant about keeping the existence of Flash Spirit Manor hidden; it contained secrets he desperately didn’t want to be known.
After escaping from the gods years ago, Cain inherited Lilith’s admin privileges and hid in the server, evading other deities.
Only with the fall of the Divine Race did Cain dare to show himself from time to time.
Fortunately, now Cain was left with only a head, his limbs and torso still sealed under the sunlight in the Real World, which left him almost completely devoid of Combat Power. In the setting, he was the will of the world, in control of everything, but once he left the setting, he would become incredibly weak, and if caught, he could be easily manipulated.
