Summon of the Bloodline

In a towering seven-story pagoda, surrounded by nine sharp metallic peaks, a soul began to stir. At the center of the pagoda, a massive crystal block, resembling a melting iceberg, continuously dripped liquid. The crystal was embedded in the middle of a wall inscribed with intricate patterns, pierced through by a deep purple sword.

What was peculiar was that the liquid dripping from the crystal flowed like dense mercury, forming an indistinct shape. As dark energy gathered, a tall, slender figure began to take form. The liquid from the crystal solidified, transforming into what looked like a statue.

The surrounding dark energy was absorbed, and the statue began to crack and crumble. From within, a young man emerged.

"Dark energy! My bloodline has advanced!" the young man exclaimed, gesturing towards the crystal. "Show me the recorded memories."

A sharp light emanated from the crystal, and images of the entire event replayed. The young man watched intently, then pointed his right hand towards the crystal. Roots emerged from the crystal and fused with his right hand.

"Chosen one... how intriguing," he murmured.

Meanwhile, Zhen Chen (Jian Chen) closed his eyes, focusing his spiritual energy on his body. His body was now capable of absorbing spiritual energy, but the energy in the air was so thin that the absorption rate was barely noticeable.

Zhen Chen opened his eyes. The current environment was not suitable for cultivation.

Yu Xue Yin , exhausted from their journey, had fallen asleep on Zhen Chen's shoulder.

"Ah... if my uncle sees me like this, he might get jealous and go crazy..." Jian Chen thought, smiling to himself. But as he was lost in thought about the beautiful woman, his mind suddenly went blank, and he fainted.

In reality, Jian Chen's soul had left his body and entered a small pendant.

When Zhen Chen regained consciousness, he found himself in a strange place. The ground was entirely blue, and in the distance, he could see a towering pagoda surrounded by nine sharp peaks resembling shark fins. Each peak was connected to the pagoda by massive chains.

As Zhen Chen stared in awe, a shadow suddenly appeared beside him. It was a young man.

"Chosen one... surprised?" the young man asked, laughing at Zhen Chen's bewildered expression.

"This... this is inside the pendant , isn't it?" the young man continued. "For high-level bloodlines, this is normal."

Zhen Chen, still shocked, stammered, "Is the pendant alive? Are you the pendant's spirit? Are you going to take me to my death?"

The young man frowned.

"Well, I am the Pendant's spirit, but I'm different. After many years, I've gained a free spiritual body."

Zhen Chen stepped back in fear.

"But you're still the Pendant's spirit!"

Seeing Zhen Chen's fear, the young man waved his hand reassuringly.

"Don't worry, I won't harm you. I want us to work together for mutual benefit."

The young man suddenly appeared in front of Zhen Chen and grabbed his hand, placing a bracelet on it.

The bracelet emitted sparks of yellow, red, blue, and silver, followed by a bright blue light.

The young man muttered in amazement, "A mutated bloodline?"

After carefully examining the bracelet, his eyes widened.

"It is a mutated bloodline... how astonishing!"

Zhen Chen, confused, was about to ask about the "mutated bloodline," but the young man stopped him.

"I'll explain everything if you agree to work with me. Otherwise, I won't say anything more."

Zhen Chen thought for a moment, then asked,

"If I work with you, what benefits will I get?"

"As long as you gain benefits, I'm fine with it. But I won't help you with anything dangerous,"

The young man replied with a smile.

"I accept!"

"Good. I'll explain some things to help you understand," the young man said, beginning his introduction.

"My name is Zimo. I'm a warrior from the Dark Butterfly lineage. Our race resides in the Sea of Destruction, a place rich in dark energy and filled with black holes. It's a difficult place for enemies to attack. I'm not sure if my home still exists, but I truly love the Sea of Destruction. Actually, I died in a battle which fought the Royal fairy race . They purified my body and turned it into the core of this pendant. After being trapped in this pendant for so many years, my bloodline evolved on its own. My unconscious soul was compressed and nourished by the dark energy, allowing me to revive."

"This is the unique bloodline evolution of our Dark Butterflies. Even after death, we can revive under the pressure of dark energy. It's rare, happening to maybe one in a million. I was lucky. That's my story. As for yours..."

"Humans are not as weak as you might think. In the past, high-level humans were incredibly powerful. Their main advantage was the continuous refinement of their bodies with the support of spiritual energy. Their reproduction rate is also terrifying. The human bloodline has been continuously purified by spiritual energy, evolving and even able to mix with other bloodlines. Over the years, many powerful bloodlines emerged, marking the golden age of humanity."

"But when a strange race from the other side of the black hole invaded, humanity's misfortune began..."
