Abyss Sequence

Chapter 42: Confession Session


Why mention these?

The reason is simple—

"Such matters being announced by the authorities might hold more credibility, but why didn't they directly announce these things after knowing them? Because once such matters are made public, they could cause immense panic among the populace! Imagine, even our ancestors who could terraform the moon chose to sever ties with the Abyss; how can we, so feeble, survive under the invasion of the Abyss?"

Yan Luo, with a piercing gaze, looked at all the cameras and said: "The archaeologists studying this issue have a hypothesis, mainly proposed by Professor Ximen Tiesuan from Celestial Sea University—keeping the Abyss away from Blue Star would reset the danger level of the Abyss, while we inherit the power of the Engravings. Facing the Abyss again wouldn't mean starting from scratch! Our ancestors didn't sever ties with the Abyss out of fear but voluntarily forsook their power to usher in a brighter future for our world!"

This wasn't Yan Luo's own conjecture.

When planning to hold a news conference, Yan Luo actively contacted various parties, including Professor Ximen Tiesuan who he had interacted with before, to ask them how to address the reporters' questions.

Professor Ximen Tiesuan handed him his research findings at that time, hoping Yan Luo could explain them publicly.

He always believed that their ancestors didn't sever ties with the Abyss out of fear but intended to offer a better future for this world.

Their ancestors had long foreseen Blue Star's recontact with the Abyss, thus willingly leaving behind many artifacts.

For instance, the metal plate and Jade held by Yan Luo are undoubtedly deliberately left behind by them.

Despite many twists and turns, when the Abyss returned to Blue Star, they indeed possessed the power to counter it.

"Due to various reasons, the authorities haven't managed to announce them publicly for many years, but after today, they'll reveal everything they know to the public. As for now, returning to the issue of my physique—everyone, in ancient times, there were people with physiques like mine; they were called 'Saints,' and it's known that our Sovereigns and Five Emperors were all Saints, as were Laozi and Confucius. Most of the philosophers were Engravers, and thereafter, Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu, was likely the last Saint.

"Saint's blood contains power. Upon ingesting Saint's Blood, those with low magic power adaptability can strengthen their bodies, while those with magic power adaptability gain the ability to automatically absorb magic power, which is why my blood allows Hunters to counter prohibitive magic abilities. Wu Zechuan and Chen Shan told me that the essence of prohibitive magic abilities is to stagnate the magic power within Engravers, preventing them from utilizing magic power to activate the Engraving. They are Advanced Hunters of Second Rank and Sequence Three and have significant authority on this matter!

"Hunters are all Engravers. After ingesting my blood, their bodies can automatically absorb magic power, and external magic power will revitalize stagnating internal magic power. With minor adaptation, they can counter prohibitive magic abilities. I know you're all curious now; my blood has such effects, then what about my bone marrow?"

Saying this, Yan Luo paused, deliberately teasing to arouse curiosity and anxiety.

"Magic power adaptability!" Yan Luo exclaimed, "My bone marrow can enhance the consumer's magic power adaptability, elevating it once to a 'very high' level! If someone's magic power adaptability is already very high, they can push it to the limit, becoming as powerful as a Demon!"

This statement astounded the crowd.

Even in the live chat, question marks began to appear, a screen full of question marks flowed past Yan Luo's eyes.

Unbelievable, does such terrifying things really exist in this world?

At this moment, many people thought of one thing—

Saint's Blood can allow automatic absorption of magic power, while the bone marrow can elevate magic power adaptability to a very high level. Consequently, isn't simultaneous ingestion of Yan Luo's blood and bone marrow enough to automatically enhance one's Engraving without entering the Abyss?

"Exactly, just as you thought!"

Yan Luo seemed to see through people's minds and their thoughts at the moment, "By simultaneously ingesting my blood and bone marrow, you can achieve automatic advancement of your Engraving without entering the Abyss. According to calculations by my research team, if someone ingests my blood and bone marrow upon maturity while undergoing Engraving, even without entering the Abyss, they can reach Second Rank by eighty years old!"

Upon hearing this, many people immediately lost interest.

The lifespan of Engravers is similar to ordinary people, perhaps slightly longer due to magic power circulating within, slightly nourishing the body, hence relatively, Engravers are healthier in old age and can live longer.

Eighty and reaching Second Rank, by then, they'd be stooped in old age, so what if they possess the power of Second Rank?

But soon, someone realized.

Reaching Second Rank by eighty, when could they achieve Sequence Three?

Sequence Three Engravers correspond to City-breaking Level Demons, possessing city-destroying capabilities.

People don't need to pursue the power of Second Rank; isn't the City-breaking Level power sufficient for them?

Thinking of this, their hearts heated again.

"Above all else, this is the summary of my physique, which the ancients referred to as 'Saint's' power! Now, let's start the second phase of questioning; who wants to ask questions?"

After speaking, Yan Luo looked at the crowd present.

One by one, hands steadily rose, looking like a forest.

Yan Luo casually pointed at a journalist, "You."

The journalist immediately stood up and loudly inquired, "Yan Luo, will you give your blood and bone marrow to the existing Second Rank powerhouses?"

"As long as they come to me, I'll give it." Yan Luo answered decisively, "Next one!"

The second journalist Yan Luo pointed at stood up and asked, "What price needs to be paid to get your blood and bone marrow, Yan Luo?"

Yan Luo nodded slightly; this question hit the point.

"To obtain those things, unless they're my friends, they first need to be a Hunter. My goal is to completely eliminate the Abyss, so only those sharing my ideals can receive my bone and blood."

This news conference was not only to announce his abilities and true history to the public but also to recruit comrades.

Yan Luo needs to recruit comrades to fight alongside him to completely eliminate the Abyss, for his power alone is insufficient to do so.

This statement surprised many.

Even their mighty ancestors didn't fully eradicate the Abyss; why is Yan Luo saying such words?

"Does anyone have more questions? If not, next we should address issues concerning the Abyssal Believers." Yan Luo scanned the journalists present.

They initially wanted to ask questions, but upon hearing Yan Luo mention 'Abyssal Believers,' they put down their raised hands, silently gazing at Yan Luo, hoping to learn more.

Seeing the journalists' response, Yan Luo nodded and began narrating his grudges with the Abyssal Believers.

"My grudge with the Abyssal Believers started nine years ago during that Magic Surge; initially, I thought it was an accident. Although many Hunters died, not everything in this world can go smoothly. It wasn't until months ago that an old Hunter who experienced the Magic Surge told me it was actually a conspiracy, a sacrifice by the Abyssal Believers!

"Then, not long after, on my nineteenth birthday, I received an email from a team member of my late parents. He had been pursuing Abyssal Believers and even achieved some results. Through his email, I discovered the existence of Abyssal Believers and obtained his relic, becoming a thorn in their side.

"Wen Chongwu seized two items from Abyssal Believers, one of which you've seen, a metal plate recording past history, and the other item is this Jade! It's also evidence supporting our belief that our ancestors weren't afraid of the Abyss!"

Seeing Yan Luo display the Jade, Liu Feiyu paused momentarily, then attempted to rush the podium to stop Yan Luo, but two hands reached from both sides, pressing down on his shoulders.

"Wu Zechuan, Chen Shan, what are you doing?" Liu Feiyu furiously questioned.

Wu Zechuan smirked and looked towards the podium.

Yan Luo held the Jade high, carefully explaining its function: "It can open a space portal, leading to another world!"

The crowd fell silent, all was quiet.
