I Became the Progenitor Vampire

Time flowed ceaselessly, and under the rifts in the sky, the situation of Glory further deteriorated.

The breath of ancient days seeped into the Main Plane through those rifts, much like water leaking from a dam. As time progressed, the ancient powers grew denser, leading to more and more lives being corroded by this ancient force, making the situation increasingly unmanageable.

Crops failed, rivers were polluted, plants began to wither, and the worshipers of the Evil God became increasingly rampant, with order collapsing step by step.

The servants of the ancient Evil Gods and the creatures corrupted by the ancient days rampaged across the Main Plane. These chaotic and brutal monsters, knowing only slaughter, left ruins and desolation wherever they went.

Compelled by necessity, small cities began to converge towards larger cities, and the large cities also actively retracted their powers from beyond their outskirts.

The final scenario had the large cities as cores, forming isolated "islands" on land, with the traffic between cities resembling navigation at sea, always vigilant of the storm of ancient monsters that might strike.

But the worst had not yet ended, with the formation of city-islands, a major event shook the entirety of Glory.

The Sun Goddess, transformed into a saint, used her Divine Arts to convey a message to her followers—the fragments of the Destiny Tablet could dispel the breath of ancient days and restore normality to the rules.

This message, jolting countless forces, immediately captured everyone's attention.

At such a critical moment, the omnipresent erosion of ancient power had become a nightmare in everyone's minds.

Because no one knew if they would be the next person affected by the ancient power, or if their relatives and friends were being corrupted.

The fragments of the Destiny Tablet could restore everything to normal, which was a lifeline for everyone.

Before the ancient days descended, most people had little concept of order, but having experienced slaughter, death, and chaos, everyone deeply realized how precious the tranquility of the past was.

Only after losing it, did they cherish it.

News about the Destiny Tablet instantly became the top concern for all cities and superiors.

A storm began to brew.

And accompanying the news of the Destiny Tablet was another rumor that terrified the gods, making the already tense situation in Glory explode like cold water poured into boiling oil.

The Goddess of Commerce and Wealth had fallen.

Yes, a true deity had perished on the Main Plane.

The disappearance of the Goddess of Wealth might have been undetectable to outsiders, but her fervent and steadfast believers could not be deceived.

When the believers found the body of the Goddess of Wealth, tracing back its origin, it was shockingly discovered that the famous goddess in Glory had perished in a small coastal city with a population of only two hundred thousand.

Although the Goddess of Wealth was only a medium divine power deity, her special divine position—commerce and wealth—meant her influence on the Main Plane was even greater than many more powerful deities.

Yet now, this always-neutral goddess had died in an inconspicuous small city, and the god-slayer tracked by her followers was merely Extraordinary!

Yes, an Extraordinary being had killed a former medium divine power deity.

Moreover, this Extraordinary used the Divine Arts of the Goddess of Wealth during the believers' siege and successfully escaped.

This news swept through Glory like a storm.

Everyone was shaken.

God-slaying!

What a mad act, but now, it was starkly unfolding before everyone.

For the first time, people truly understood what the Life Goddess had said, that the deities would lose their power and descend to the mortal realm, was so literally true.

Previously, those who revered the gods, now after the fall of the Goddess of Wealth—an influential but not very powerful deity—their fear and reverence for the deities collapsed.

Gods were no longer high and mighty; they too could be killed.

The ambitions of many Extraordinary and Legendary beings grew wildly like weeds.

If even an Extraordinary could kill a deity, did they still deserve awe? Did they still deserve their exalted status?

The answer was self-evident.

And another thought inevitably rose.

"If they, like that Transcendent, could slay gods and then seize their divine status, could they have the chance to become the next deities?!"

Imagining this scene, countless people gasped for breath.

These were deities.

The beings they had always looked up to, worshipped, and feared were now potentially within their reach...

Even if it meant death, it was worth a shot.

Originally, the concerns and fears of those powerhouses about transcendent beings becoming saints and descending onto the main plane quietly transformed into excitement.

Many began to realize that this was not only a massive crisis but also an unprecedented opportunity.

Once they seized this chance, they too could become exalted gods.

Three days after the fall of the Goddess of Wealth, the fall of another god with powerful divine power completely ignited this storm.

The followers of the God of Wind and Rage, during their prayers, vividly sensed the demise and dissipation of their god.

Their god had also been hunted.

The fall of the God of Wind and Rage was even more terrifying than that caused by the Goddess of Wealth.

Because the fall of one deity could be explained as an accident, but the fall of a powerful divine force, especially one holding a combat divine position, made any excuse seem feeble.

The gods were no longer invincible; to slay a god with a mortal body was no longer just a myth spoken of by wandering poets.

Initially, the gods who manifested their majesty in various cities simultaneously went into hiding.

Many transcendents and legends, who already controlled substantial forces, began quietly using their power to search for these hidden gods, ostensibly to protect them...

The situation in Glory thus became increasingly chaotic.

---

As time passed in chaos, August 10, 3526, Era of Glory, in Dawn City.

The chaos outside had little impact on this city hidden among the mountains.

Strict law enforcement, a tolerant environment, and a prosperous life made this city a unique paradise in Glory.

At this very moment, the creators of this great city, the god revered by countless as the God of Dawn and Twilight, was sleeping.

In the Land of Bone-Burying, Emi, floating in the air, was overseeing the battlefield below, where millions of skeleton warriors were battling the demons continuously pouring in through the space gate.

Blood flowed in rivers, bones shattered into mountains.

Emi, the executor of the plan "Use a borrowed knife to kill the pig," had been relentlessly at work.

Using the Dark Sovereign's blade to butcher the pigs of the Abyss Plane.

This plan had been in operation for a full half-year now, and Emi had used the Land of Bone-Burying to secure a formidable ten planes for the Dark Sovereign.

As a result, the Dark Sovereign's fondness for Lide greatly increased.

Of course, correspondingly, 80% of the demons from these ten planes were killed in the Land of Bone-Burying.

At this moment, the dense power of death in the sky had formed nearly tangible dark clouds, the emanated aura making everyone tremble.

Emi, who had been observing the above battle, suddenly shifted his gaze to the ground; he felt that the core of the earth had started to change.

It was as if a giant beast of the abyss sleeping within was awakening. Although it was not fully awake yet, the terrifying aura emanating from it caused Emi's hair to stand on end.

Emi felt not fear but a flicker of surprise and excitement in his eyes.

"Your Highness... are you awakening?"

In the deepest part of the Land of Bone-Burying,

Abundant, this was the sensation conveyed to Lide.

Never had he felt so complete, extending beyond mere physical fulfillment to spiritual and soulful contentment.

It was like the comfort one feels lying on a sofa after a hearty meal, altogether transformed.

While devouring the divine body of the Snake Clan God, the residual divine status within was activated by him.

The origin power of the Snake Clan openly displayed before him, the energy embedded within the divine status plunged him once more into the state of comprehending rules.

The last time has been when he activated the Twilight Divine Status.

Moreover, as he had no intention of merging this time, he simply burned up the divine status, hence the process of rule comprehension was especially prolonged.

Under the influence of the divine status, the world's rules appeared like a disrobed being of the opposite sex, displaying all their perfections before him, mountains rose and valleys deepened...

While he was in the midst of comprehending these rules, the Divine Stone, under the devouring Power of Crimson, gradually dimmed.

The power within his body was like a dam collecting water, slowly filling up.

In this process, his bloodline, his body, and even his soul were undergoing a gradual transformation.

A rebirth from the ashes.

Half a year was enough to be considered lengthy, crops had gone through a season of growth, flowers had bloomed, withered, and fruited... Lide was in his chrysalis, also waiting for that moment to transform into a butterfly.

At this moment, his understanding of divine positions also deepened.

Twilight Divine Position, the cycle of day and night, the alternation of all things, everything approaches the day of twilight, the undying gods, the everlasting planes, even the multiverse that spans millions of years.

Blood Divine Position, representing life but also death, dark and bloody as well as bright and holy, blood knows neither darkness nor light...

The existence of blood is merely a rule essential for the majority of life, without which life is a mutation, incomplete, blood completes the rule of life.

Blood Clan Divine Position represents a race, from the birth of the race, to its flourishing, aging, and death, this is the transformation of the natural rules,

Just like the life cycle of plants from germination, growth, blooming, fruit setting, withering, to death, it signifies neither darkness nor evil nor light nor goodness, but merely a part of the original rules.

As the controller of this divine position, Lide could, to some extent, use the divine position to interfere and guide the development of the entire race.

Countless insights not only gave Lide a clearer understanding of himself but also deepened his understanding of the entire world.

In the process of comprehending the rules, he even clearly sensed the calling of his believers, praying, beseeching, repenting, blessing... He became a true divine being, overseeing all creatures.

Finally, when both his soul and body had transformed to their extremes.

Lide, with his eyes previously closed, slowly opened them.

In that instant, the world turned upside down.

In the Land of Bone-Burying, amid a fierce bloody battle, the undead and demons felt as though a terrifying life force had opened its eyes and was watching them.

That frightfully intense fluctuation caused everyone's hair to stand on end, the Soul Fire of the undead warriors trembled like candles in a strong wind, making one wonder if they might extinguish the next second.

The demons trembled violently, even their inherent lust for slaughter and brutality was forcibly suppressed, their eyes filled with fear.

That power exceeded their wildest imaginations...

Lide slowly extended his right hand, the Power of Crimson diffused out, demonic flames burning upon it, his fingers suddenly clenched into a fist, crackling—the Power of Crimson dispersed, the space around him warped at that moment.

Feeling the power emanating from within his body, Lide took another deep breath.

Powerful.

Unprecedentedly powerful.

And at this moment, he could even faintly discern the flow of rules around the Land of Bone-Burying, he could now see through the facade to deeper level rules!

Just then, the system notification sound rang out continuously.

"Ding~You have broken through to Legendary, your current level is 28."

"Ding~You have gained a deeper understanding of the world, and your control over blood and Blood Clan Divine Position has significantly increased, currently 15% control level."

"Ding~Your control over blood and Blood Clan Divine Position has exceeded 10%, and you have comprehended new Divine Arts—Blood Purification, Blood Clan Assimilation."

"Ding~You have gained a new understanding of the Twilight Divine Position, control level increased by 10%, currently at 40%"

"Ding~Your bloodline has transformed to Legendary Ancestor Bloodline, significantly increasing your strength."

"Ding~Your racial talents and skills have gained tremendous enhancement."

A series of system notification sounds invigorated Lide instantly.

His heart was also immensely excited.

Level 28.

Legendary.

When he had halted consuming the Twilight Godhood, now he finally obtained the best reward, if he had directly stepped into Legendary then, his level would merely be 25.

No need for any additional language to describe it, just the data on the attribute panel at level 28 says it all.

Even now, when the Divine has descended to the Main Plane as Saints, Legendary still remains a presence that stands at the summit of the mountain.

Before the descent of the Ancient, Legendary was the foundation of a nation, even the once vast Nolan Empire had only two or three Legendaries publicly known.

Now, he possessed this power, a power exclusively his.

Lide Kachar laughed heartily.

The previously suppressed emotions were swept away, he felt a boldness akin to daring to ridicule Huang Chao for not being a true man.

His gaze then turned to his own attribute panel.

Lide looked at his attribute panel and his smile did not diminish.

All his skills had been upgraded from the Extraordinary Level to the Legendary Level.

Whether it was Bloodline or passive skills and talents, it could be said that there had been a qualitative improvement.

But the one thing that surprised him was that many skills' detailed data descriptions had disappeared, and they also had fewer traits than before.

Apart from Bloody Storm still having relatively accurate data, skills like Bloodline Shackles, which previously could unlock a 500% increase in power, now only had a description of elevation to the extreme.

It appeared that the system could no longer precisely describe his power.

The combination of Talent and Bloodline, along with the overlay of the Power of Faith and Divine Arts meant that the power Lide now possessed, as displayed by the system, was in a rather ambiguous range.

Even Lide himself could not accurately estimate his own power.

He could only feel that if there were a Transcendent being like a Double-Horned Demon in front of him, he could kill it with a slap.

He had stepped into another level of life, a level that countless people would worship...

Even Lide could feel that if he wanted, he could even shatter the ground of the Land of Bone-Burying and, with all his firepower, breaking through this plane would not be too difficult...

The power to destroy planes... He had now become a human-shaped calamity.

"Although there's no detailed data assessment, I can feel the rich power flowing and settling in my Bloodline like magma...

I've stepped into a height that cannot be described with data.

Legendary..."

Lide took a deep breath, his heart more exhilarated than the last time he broke through to the Transcendent.

In the great disaster of the Ancient Times, only by controlling powerful forces could he confront the situation.

As the Master of Dawn, relied upon by the faith of millions, he naturally had to step upon the mountain peak.

Turning his head to look around, at the Legendary realm, everything around him became vividly clear.

Seeing the rules in motion, Lide had an insight in his heart about understanding rules: the first layer is to see the mountain as a mountain, the water as water; the second layer is to see the mountain not as a mountain, the water not as water; and the third time back to seeing the mountain as a mountain, the water as water.

He was now in the second stage, where everything he looked at had changed, no longer resembling the previous world.

In his eyes, this underground world was no longer made up of accumulating bones, but rather, it was the rules of the Land of Bone-Burying that were in motion.

That feeling was fascinating, and after observing for a moment, Lide got completely immersed in it.

The world operates, everything converges...

The origin of the world was right in front of him, the only true way to explore.

After a long time, a thought suddenly arose in Lide's heart that he never wanted to leave this state... but in an instant, a strong sense of vigilance snapped him back to reality.

When he came to his senses, his forehead was sweating.

"Close call, experiencing the rules of the main world for the first time almost made me completely lost..."

After waiting for a moment, adjusting to the power inside him, he finally detached from that state of transcending things and overlooking rules, and his heart gradually returned to normal.

After calming down, Lide couldn't help feeling a bit strange.

"No wonder the gods are described as aloof and indifferent in legends.

This state, being able to see at a glance how the world's rules turn, is indeed fascinating and gives a feeling of being close to the origin of the world, making it hard to detach.

I should enter this state less often in the future, having no desires is even more exaggerated than turning on 'Sage Mode' afterward..."

Thinking this, Lide shuddered; that state was too frightening, he just felt like he had pulled down the pants of the truth of this world.

"But now it appears that beneath the truth's underwear are two hairy legs... unbelievable."

After steadying his spirit, Lide regained his excitement, glanced at the system prompt, and looked forward to his divine panel with anticipation.

This achievement wasn't just in him becoming stronger—his sect hadn't been idle over the past six months.

Dawn God—Lide Kachar (Fake God)

Divine Position: Blood Clan (control level 15%), Blood (control level 15%)

Divine Arts: 1. Soul Assimilation, 2. Faith Enhancement,

3. Blood Purification (can purify the bloodline, enhance bloodline potential, eliminate hidden dangers in the bloodline; the stronger the target, the more power of faith consumed)

4. Blood Clan Assimilation (transforms non-undead beings into Blood Clan beings, or partly into Blood Clan, inheriting Blood Clan traits; the stronger the target, the more power of faith consumed)

Lide's face lit up with a radiant smile.

He hadn't expected this breakthrough to bring such a significant increase in control over his divine positions.

From the previous 2%, it had shot up directly to 15%, and that was true for both divine positions—simply incredible.

And the understanding of these two divine arts was almost monstrous.

One could enhance the potential of a bloodline, while the other could transform non-undead beings into Blood Clan members.

This was absurdly powerful; now he could create Blood Nagas, Blood Demons, Blood Beastmen, Blood Giants… and so on.

Thinking about this, he was somewhat eager to see the situation after assimilating other life forms into Blood Clan—whether they could gain talents similar to the Blood Clan, whether their power could significantly increase in darkness, whether they could gain the ability to heal through bloodsucking?

"These two divine arts, the more I think about them, the more endless their potential seems…

If I first use Faith Enhancement, then Blood Purification, and finally perform Blood Clan Assimilation, what kind of creature would emerge?"

Lide thought and itched to experiment, but having no target at the moment, he had to suppress his eagerness.

His gaze continued downward, to the next attribute listed.

Number of Followers: Zealous Believers 45, Devout Believers 60k, Believers 350k, Nominal Believers 520k

Power of Faith: 3.25 million

The combined number of followers in the Dawn Sect had now reached 930k.

And with half a year of accumulation, the Power of Faith possessed a staggering over three million.

This phase really fattened him up a few hundred pounds.

"More than three million Power of Faith? My ancestors never had it this good!"

Lide became increasingly excited, "If that's the state of the Dawn Sect, what about the Twilight Sect?"

With the ability to enslave Cave Dwellers, the propagation efficiency of the Twilight Sect is absolutely several times that of the Dawn Sect, he quickly looked at the Twilight Sect's panel.

God of Twilight—Lide Kachar (Fake God)

Divine Position: Twilight (already mastered 40%)

Divine Arts: 1. Twilight Radiance—releases a ray of light infused with Twilight Power that can deprive the opponent of life, causing the opponent's soul to age and decay, the stronger the target the more power of faith needed.

2. Twilight Barrier—releases a barrier, life within the barrier will have their lives plundered to supplement the barrier's power, the wider the range of the barrier the more power of faith consumed.

3. Twilight Approaching—releases a ray of Twilight Light, causing the opponent to temporarily enter old age, the stronger the target the more power of faith consumed.

Unexpectedly, although the Twilight Divine Position had an increase of 10% in control level, it hadn't triggered the activation of a new divine art.

However, Lide wasn't disappointed; he could sense a clearer understanding of Twilight, feeling he was close to touching the origin of the divine position, which would definitely bring a stronger enhancement than grasping one or two divine arts.

As his eyes moved downward, seeing the followers and Power of Faith of Twilight City, his hand involuntarily trembled, and his face displayed an ecstasy.

Number of Followers: Zealous Believers 1,236, Devout Believers 1.2 million, Believers 2.2 million, Nominal Believers 2.3 million

Dark Faith Power: 12.3 million

Even at first glance at these two attributes, Lide thought he might be blind.

The number of believers had reached a terrifying 5.7 million, and the Dark Faith Power had even broken through the sky—12.3 million!!

How exaggerated was this data?!!

Accumulating tens of millions of faith power in just half a year was insanely lavish!

Lide, feeling as if he had won a 500 million jackpot, began to breathe rapidly.

"I can't take it anymore, quickly bring in a hundred people for me, I want to elevate all of them to Transcendent!!"

He felt as if he was going to ascend to the heavens.

"Elevating a Transcendent seems to be 500,000 Faith Power, 10 would be 5 million, 20 would be... ahem, keep it low-key, I was just expressing my mood, I didn't say anything."

Lide did some quick calculations and promptly curbed his inflated mentality regarding the newfound wealth.

Thinking it over, tens of millions of Faith Power didn't seem very useful after all, only capable of elevating 20 to Transcendent... no, when did Transcendent become so cheap??

Those were powers that could dominate the Main Plane, a single individual ravaging a city was no big deal.

Lide thought about it; Transcendent really had rapidly devalued in Dawn City...

Setting aside Faith Power, having nearly 6 million believers still thrilled him immensely.

Believers were the foundation of everything, with 6 million believers, what was there to worry about regarding Transcendents? Using Faith Power to forcefully raise someone from Level 1 to Legendary wasn't a dream.

"Too thrilling, hahaha."

After reviewing the attribute panel from top to bottom over a dozen times, Lide reluctantly turned it off.

This time of seclusion had successfully transformed him from a poor farmer to a landowner.

Suppressing his inner excitement, he glanced at the cramped space he had lived in for several months.

At this point, the complete divine body had turned into a snake carcass, shrunk by hundreds of times, and those Divine Stones had all turned into dust, none left.

"Not bad, this snake carcass can be left for that foolish ox to chew on..."

Feeling the power within his body had completely stabilized, Lide no longer hesitated, his figure appearing in midair over the Land of Bone-Burying.

The moment he appeared, the intense battle below between millions of undead and demons caught his attention.

"This terrifying war, the abyssal pig farming plan seems to be going quite well..."

After glancing at the battlefield, Lide's awareness spread, instantly bringing everything at the Land of Bone-Burying into his mind.

Setting aside the battlefield for now, the Space Gate connected to the Spider Plane was shrouded in dense black fog, and the central area where the Fierce Half-Ratmen were being besieged, now had tens of thousands of the Death Flowers planted along the rock walls also covered in black fog, and the positions of several Space Gates in Dawn City were firmly protected.

Obviously, all these were Emi's masterworks.

Once these key positions were covered by the mist transformed from the Power of Death, the remaining areas of the Land of Bone-Burying turned into the battlefield for implementing their plans through indirect means.

The battle between the undead and the demons.

And shortly after Lide appeared, Emi, who was supervising the battle from afar, instantly teleported next to him, her eyes filled with surprise.

"Your Majesty, have you broken through?"

Lide looked at his earliest conquered Bloodline, his expression quite pleased.

"Yes, I have stepped into the Legendary."

"Legendary!!" Emi's eyes were filled with deep admiration; back in Dawn City when Lide first embraced him, his level wasn't even as high as his.

But in just a few short years, he couldn't even see Lide's shadow anymore.

Lide smiled slightly, not dwelling further on this topic, and gestured towards the battlefield below where over three million troops were engaged in mutual slaughter.

"How is the plan progressing?"

Emi, upon hearing this, grew even more excited, speaking with a hint of thrill.

"Your Majesty, the plan is progressing very smoothly. The Dark Sovereign has not suspected our scheme.

Before conquering other abyss planes, I always open the Space Gate at the key locations where demons are most concentrated in the target plane. Then, I lure them into the Land of Bone-Burying for the undead to battle with the demons.

After dealing with most of the demons, the undead construct a Transmission Array on that attacked abyss plane and transport high-level undead to fully occupy that plane.

This past half year, we've used this strategy to aid the undead in conquering a total of ten abyss planes, with at least twenty million demons and an equal number of undead perishing in the Land of Bone-Burying."

Lide nodded in satisfaction.

The brilliance of the Abyss Slaughter Plan lies in its ability to aid the Dark Sovereign in conquering other planes, yet still garner a significant share of the profits.

Indeed, whether it was the undead or the demons who died, the Land of Bone-Burying reaped a considerable amount of the Power of Death.

And crucially, the high-level undead and demons battling each other in the Land of Bone-Burying provided much more Power of Death than the previously encountered Fierce Half-Ratmen.

"Good, now that we've gained the trust of the Dark Sovereign, we can initiate the second phase of the pig-raising plan."

The plan for the second phase—to use the undead army to target the resource-rich demon-inhabited abyss planes. Once the demons are wiped clean by the undead, secretly close the Space Gate to that plane, and send Dawn's army alone.

Meanwhile, the unsuspecting undead tools keep attacking the next plane.

With each opening in the Land of Bone-Burying having as many as ten Space Gates, creating battlefields on two planes simultaneously poses no problem.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Emi nodded, about to speak but suddenly held back, hesitating for a moment before saying,

"Perhaps, Your Majesty, you should consider taking command personally, and leave this place to me.

Many significant events have occurred this past half year; Dawn City is currently under tremendous pressure."

Lide's eyebrows raised, and he spoke in a stern voice.

"Many significant events?"

"Yes," Emi's expression grew more solemn.

"Recently, the Half-Elves of the Underworld have begun crossing boundaries to provoke us. According to the intelligence we've gathered, their god seems to have issued orders to initiate a war for control of the Underworld against us."

"And the situation in Dwarf Valley is even more critical. Just over a hundred kilometers away from Dwarf Valley, a space that seals an Ancient Evil God unexpectedly appeared on the wasteland a few months ago.

Countless Ancient Monsters poured out from that space, much too close to Dwarf Valley, which is now under the attack of millions of these creatures. Even more terrifying, the seal of that Ancient Evil God seems about to break, creating a dire situation."

"On Dwarf Hills, Guido Blackwind led millions of Centaurs to attack Gale City a month ago, attempting to take over the entire Centaur population by conquering Dwarf Hills.

Yet, just when they were about to breach the city, traces of the Centaur God appeared in Gale City.

To aid Guido, we initially dispatched thousands from the Bloodline, with hundreds perishing in this war. It's highly likely that the Centaur God, having noticed traces of Dawn City through Divine Arts, has now declared us mortal enemies..."

"Meanwhile, in Green City, Dawn Sect's proselytization has also faced challenges. The high-level nobles collectively resist Dawn Sect, even the city guards suppress it. According to our analysis of gathered information, the hidden mastermind is likely the God of Nobles."

Emi's barrage of information prompted Lide to fall silent.

A glint of cold light slowly rose in his eyes, sharp as a drawn sword, ready to cut through steel.

"Since war is approaching, let them taste the edge of Dawn."

"Order all troops to prepare for war."

"This time, all territories we've marked, will become lands under Dawn's rule."

"The Underworld, Dwarf Hills, Green City..."

"Let them be flattened."
