Guild Wars

Eva and Shuangtian were overcome with a heavy sense of empathy as they contemplated Lilith's situation. They stepped into her shoes, trying to imagine the anguish of being confronted by their own beloved Lucitera and Lucitian respectively. Just how devastating would it be to hear their own flesh and blood utter such painful words?

Dante shared in his wife's sorrow, yet he was aware that between the two of them she had always been the more emotionally intelligent one. Despite his past tendencies towards solving any issue with brute behavior, he recognized himself not as a muscle-bound simpleton but neither as a particularly insightful individual.

His true talent lay inspiring his fellow men with his actions or in protecting them from physical harm. Alas, that talent was useless in this situation.

Draco alone remained unaffected by the somber atmosphere, casually crossing his legs. He sized up his mother silently and had to admit that she was truly beautiful, and he could understand where his own taste in women came from.

Dammit Sigmund Freud, you win again!!

Draco stood up. "I will hold you to your words. However, I want you to understand something first. I harbor no feelings of hatred towards either one of you. Rather, I am thoroughly disappointed in you. Your actions leading up to my sealing might seem incompetent to others, but you know… I can admit that I doubt I would have done any better in your shoes."

Draco's eyes became glazed as he recalled his memories. "You guys could not see the future and every decision was made from your point of view. Even if there were mistakes along the way, who knew how they would culminate in the end? And it seems I really am your child because I committed an even worse mistake in my past by chasing the wrong person for over 8 years in hatred."

Saying this, Eva lowered her head while Shuangtian patted her back softly.

"I don't care about what happened before and I especially applaud you 'mom' for making a smart decision that allowed all of us to live till today. However, I will forever remain disappointed in you for the 21 years of waiting I spent, hoping to feel even a shred of parental love and be rescued, to which I was left with disappointment and had to rescue you instead."

"I admit you are my birth parents, but I will never call you 'mom' or 'dad'. I cannot stop my wives from caring for you, showing my children to you, nor will I stop my children from calling you 'grandma' or 'grandpa' should they wish to do so."

"However, I expect you not to call me your son, be it in public or in private. Should you ever wish to address me, do so only with my given name." Draco said before he turned his back and left the room, leaving Eva and Shuangtian behind.

Lilith's eyes were red while Dante looked lost and confused at what to do now. Draco had remained courteous, but that didn't change the reality that he had basically cut off his ties with them in the nicest way possible. Whether it was Dante or Lilith, they both only had one son, and that was Draco.

Even if they fostered a great relationship with their grandkids, it would never replace the importance they placed on their son, nor would it fill the hole that was left in their hearts.

Eva and Shuangtian did not hesitate to greet the two properly. They helped Dante up from the floor and healed him, restoring him to his peak state just before the conflict years ago.

The image of her younger, handsome and burly husband, helped in easing Lilith's pain by a little, yet she continued to cry as she hugged him. Dante comforted his wife gently for a bit before the duo took the time to get a better picture of their daughters-in-law.

Lilith was immensely fond of the two who were so beautiful and sexy, immediately recognizing that these two young women had to be the peak of female kind in the world… no, the universe itself had to offer.

"Come, come. Tell me about yourselves and about my… about Draco. He mentioned grandkids?" Lilith beckoned the two to sit by her, which Shuangtian and Eva shyly acquiesced.

Eventually, they began talking about the thing surrounding their existence, Draco, Boundless, the core members and the current state of the world.

As the four of them got to know each other, Draco sighed as his heart felt heavy. Among his thoughtstreams, one wanted blood, one wanted to forgive his parents for the circumstances outside their influence and one suggested apathy.

Eventually, they agreed that apathy was the best choice out of all of them. Still, no matter how logical this decision seemed to be, the heart would rarely follow the brain. Who knew how strong his convictions would remain in the future should he spend time with Dante and Lilith?

Draco left the back area of the clan grounds and teleported himself back to the main clan hall where everyone had remained, chatting in low voices. Many disillusioned clan youths were red faced as they questioned their elders who were trying to defend their actions during history.

Meanwhile, Dominic was holding up Gremory and spinning her around while Isabella looked on with a gentle smile, her younger brother red eyed as he finally was able to witness his kind older sister able to move freely.

However, everyone froze once Draco returned to the hall. Dominic placed down Gremory while Isabella's face changed to one of extreme worry. After all, she could have saved the situation back then by returning him. Ultimately, she had chosen revenge, making his mother pluck out her eyes. What's more, it was none other than her who had sealed Draco.

However, there was one person in the room who was not moved by the pressure, and that was Gremory. She simply skipped over to Draco and hugged him happily, looking extremely cute.

This simple gesture washed over Draco like a refreshing breeze, coaxing a faint smile onto his lips as he gently patted her head. Yet, as he lifted his gaze, the warmth dissipated, replaced by a glacial stare that left everyone else feeling a chill in the air. He released Gremory and whispered that she should go and stand beside her family while he handled something, which Gremory obediently did.

Then Draco walked up the dais towards the seat of the clan chief. Without any flair or drama, he sat down on the seat and gazed down on everyone in the clan hall, especially those elders who participated in that old event.

Immediately, Draco unleashed the potency of his bloodline aura wantonly, causing the sky in this region of the world to darkness as if it was nighttime. To those in the clan hall, they simply saw the area they were in blackened completely while light miraculously remained, but Draco on the clan leaders' seat was like a giant tree of humongous power.

Each person sensed the branch of the tree that related to their Inheritance and saw that it was only a small part of the huge tree of great power. Seeing this, even though their minds couldn't understand, their bloodlines could as they felt a great warmth.

Everyone at this moment felt the same way Gremory did on a normal, that Draco was their greatest reliance and protector, their source and the one who would lead all of them to a very blissful future.

Their minds, their bodies and their souls told them this, causing everyone to subconsciously kneel down before the might of the power they were beholding. Most importantly, they had fully imprinted on Draco at this moment, their bloodline purities rising crazily.

Only those like Dominic or Gremory could reach 99% like the core members. The rest of the youths of this generation reached 70% while the other generation reached 50%. And yet, even this was enough to make some people feel reborn, some molting or undergoing the rebuilding process on the spot as their bodies were refined.

Satisfied with the scene before him, Draco retracted his bloodline aura and the world returned to normal. As for the regional phenomenon, he had concealed it using a spatial blockade to prevent normal people from taking note.

Once everyone finished their changes and their attention were focused on him, Draco noted that there was now true respect and reverence in their eyes. Whatever they had felt before, fear, confusion, distrust or even hate, it was all irrelevant now.

Lucifer was no longer their progenitor anymore. Now, it was Draco who represented them and their bloodline, as well as their future.

"From henceforth, I will be the Eternal God King of this Clan. You will refer to me as God King Draco, and our Lineage shall no longer be known as the Lucifer Lineage, but as the Morningstar Lineage."

"Our mission is to dominate the world and lead the sub-humans to greatness, restoring the galactic glory of our human race. To do this, we have three objectives we must achieve."

"First, we shall destroy all the Primordials of this world, including Gaia, and return Worldly Energy to our atmosphere. Until we do this, humanity cannot take its first step into Transcendence and you will never be able to unleash the full power of your bloodlines."

"Second, all of you need to enter Boundless World and excavate all your full potentials using its help. I, Eva and Shuangtian stand before you so powerful precisely because of this game's help. Let me correct myself, thinking of it as merely a 'game' would do it injustice. It is the future of humanity and the secret to our Transcendence."

Draco paused here and glanced at everyone. "Third and finally, we must restore the control of the Lineages over the mundane world. Every single Lineage, regardless of friend or foe, must be restored, starting from our own!"

"Xela Stone!!" Draco called out.

"Yes!" Xela exclaimed as she stepped forward with a surprised expression.

"You represent the creation power of our Lineage with Nuwa. It is time to fulfill your destiny. Resurrect everyone who has died unjustly in our Lineage!"
