[Hunter King]

In the 'previous life', there was no relevant information,

Despite Li Aozi always looking down on the arcane energy of [Bloodline], it is undeniable that as one of the most easily obtainable sequential arcane energies, [Bloodline] did indeed become something that nearly everyone possessed.

But precisely because almost everyone has a [Bloodline], yet not a single person had evolved into the [Hunter King], this is what's strange.

Why did tens of billions of [Bloodline] holders in the previous life not evolve into the [Hunter King], yet Li Aozi did almost nothing and this thing just evolved?

Naturally, there is a variable in this.

Upon careful review, it is not difficult to see what this variable is.

"[Secret Society]."

Li Aozi pondered for a moment and then said:

"Plus the bloodline of the Radiant Dragon."

"In general, [Bloodline] requires a racial lineage with extremely high quality, subject to deconstruction and camouflage in order to evolve."

"There is no need to mention the Radiant Dragon bloodline; no one even knew where the Radiant Dragons were in the previous life, while Ether Blood..."

The gold content of Ether does not need explanation.

Ether is divided into three forms: liquid free state (highly toxic), consciousness energy state (non-toxic and almost unobservable), and metallic state.

The consciousness energy state is the so-called Ether Theory, and even a civilian scientist knows how miraculous this thing is.

Ether Metal, in itself, is a weapon. In secret records, this Ether Metal only needs a thin coin-sized mass to render a planet the size of Earth secret—causing this planet to be independently stripped from spacetime, unnoticed by others besides the observer, while falling into a heavy state, where all movement stops but absolute zero does not occur.

And Ether Blood, which is secretly used, becomes the high-rank material for transforming secret citizens.

It has nearly incurable toxicity because, strictly speaking, the immune system simply cannot detect the invasion of Ether Blood. The fundamental reason for killing the host is because the cells polluted by Ether Blood repel and devour each other, with lung cells being killed first. Therefore, most victims of Ether Blood exhibit symptoms similar to suffocation.

In fact, the toxicity of Ether Blood is not limited to attacks on the respiratory system and the cellular level. According to Earthlings' own research on Ether Blood, it will equally attack anything that possesses the concept of 'life'.

Upon seeing this, Li Aozi could roughly understand why Gaia was able to defeat and even capture the power of Leviathandal back then.

Secret citizens, rather than saying they are Earthlings, they are a group of copies rebuilt with Poison Blood, after being destroyed by Ether Blood following Gaia's selection of legendary creatures.

Take Redd Gold as an example, the honest person who once worked as a child laborer in a machinery factory, working hard to raise his younger siblings, died the day Redd was transformed into a secret citizen.

In his place was the Speaker [Collector] crafted by Ether Blood using Redd as the blueprint.

Gaia would only choose people with talented traits to become her citizens, Redd Gold having the qualities of a [Collector], while Li Aozi matched the impression of [Blacksmith] in her records.

So, originally, upon contact with Ether Blood, Li Aozi should have been like Redd Gold, having his bloodline destroyed by Ether, his personality killed, and his will corrupted, becoming the representative of the [Blacksmith] occupation, bearing the strong collective will from the secret to tirelessly serve the Secret Council.

Yet, this step halted in front of the [Hunter King].

"The fundamental reason is that the [Hunter King] has absolute dominance over the concept of bloodline."

It denies bloodline, dominates bloodline, surpasses bloodline.

Everyone is a king; people are not inferior by birth. Are kings and nobles seeded differently? Any creature that has struggled and survived from ancient times to this day is a strong one, a true Overlord?

It is the king who makes the bloodline noble, not the bloodline that makes the king strong.

Li Aozi is very fond of Earth's Eastern culture; their philosophy is infused with a strong spirit of struggle and the belief in resistance. Particularly, this kind of thinking, which breaks all theories of bloodline origin, is the true source of strength for Earthlings.

He knew well who the three major speakers of the secret are.

[Collector] Redd Gold, born a child laborer.

[Emperor] Andrei Praladysievich Romanov, a security guard.

[Scholar] Lyle Sventler, a fraudster.

These three powerful speakers holding eminent positions, just below Gaia, above millions of others, with some even being the Starry Abyss Main God (albeit stolen), are none from royal or noble families, nor any elite clan offspring; all are without exception from the lower ranks of society.

Yet, in the Starry Abyss, virtually every spokesperson for a Narrative Civilization is either an elite or at the very least comes from a middle-class family or small citizenship.

Moreover, most speakers of [Society], before being corrupted, were not wealthy or powerful individuals.

What does this tell us? That Earthlings lack good bloodlines?

No, it precisely shows that Earthlings had long understood that origin and bloodline mean nothing.

Appoint people by their ability, and let the capable take the lead.

Li Aozi deeply agrees.

"With my ideological consciousness, it's no wonder I'm merely a senator in the secret... The more I study, the more I feel Earthly civilization is progressive."

But it is precisely such a progressively civilized species that chose invasion and war.

In this case, there's nothing more to say; Li Aozi has always been pragmatic.

"I need the power and wisdom of Earthlings."

Li Aozi spread his hand, and a knotted tumor floated in his palm. He spoke solemnly:

"Earth's power is so strong that the [Hunter King] can remain firmly in control, and even the abilities of the [Radiant Dragon] can be mastered. It's unimaginable, and this is only the first evolution of [Bloodline]... What will your ultimate form be like?"

Li Aozi recalled the previous [Fate] System.

Shortly after the [Bloodline] deconstructed the bloodline of the Radiant Dragon, the [Fate] System started.

——————————

[Eternity] Arstala—Fate Accumulation: 1.9%

Fate Competitor: Li Aozi (1.9%)

Mode of Competition:

1. Purify Earth.

2. Conquer Starry Abyss.

3. Enslave Society.

——————————

Each of these three conditions is extremely challenging, and he is unsure how beneficial this fate is to him.

But, to be honest.

If all three could be completed, what else in this world would there be worth doing?

Purify Earth, end the root of the secret crisis, and prevent the world from suffering Earth's invasion again.

Conquer the Starry Abyss, achieve great unity, the universe no longer divided, equality among all beings, with people in harmony.

Enslave Society, turn the monsters that trample on the starry sky and devour civilizations into tools and slaves.

If truly achieved—though called fate, it's actually more of a heartfelt wish, isn't it?

As for the [Desire] fate, Li Aozi felt he might not outcompete Redd Gold, the latter having been cultivating it for years; he could at most hinder Redd's progress merely a bit.

But—does Redd care?
