Wei Chen smiled lightly and said, "Actually, I can't understand it either, but this Reprint is found in the Soul World. The Soul World is considered a very low-level Spatial Plane. Anyone from the Demon Realm, even a mere soldier, could dominate there. Yet, in such a low-level Spatial Plane, a divine artifact like the Reprint appeared. I was also quite surprised when I obtained the Reprint back then, even more so than you are now."
Red Boy shook his head and sighed, "Wei Chen, this Reprint is a top-tier artifact even in the Ancient World. It far surpasses the Red Demon Armor you are currently wearing. Even a million pieces of such Red Demon Armor couldn't be exchanged for a Reprint. The value of the Reprint cannot be measured by anything else. In the Ancient World, there are only ten divine artifacts in total, all formed during the early stages of the Ancient World’s creation, birthed by the earth itself rather than forged by its inhabitants. The people of the Ancient World have attempted to forge similar artifacts like the Reprint, but without exception, they have failed. Even the strongest Great Beings in the Ancient World could not create an artifact of such caliber. The Red Demon Armor is considered decent armor in the Ancient World, but under the might of the Reprint, it is as fragile as paper."
After finishing his words, Red Boy stepped closer to Wei Chen and gazed at the Reprint in his hand with an expression of fascination.
Wei Chen had heard about the power of the Reprint many times before, but unfortunately for him, it had little functionality in his hands. Even showing it off wouldn’t work; those who lacked knowledge wouldn't recognize its significance.
"Wei Chen, can I take a look?" Red Boy asked.
Wei Chen handed the Reprint to Red Boy and smiled lightly, "What’s there to hide? Feel free to hold it; this thing is practically wasted in my hands. I can't unleash its power at all."
Red Boy replied, "That's because your Ancient Bloodline hasn't truly awakened yet, so you cannot wield the Reprint's might. Once your Ancient Bloodline fully awakens, things will be very different; its power will surely satisfy you."
Pausing for a moment, Red Boy continued, "As far as I know, such divine artifacts can only be wielded by those with an Ancient Bloodline. Others cannot use them at all. In your hands, it may shine brilliantly, but if given to someone else, it would be completely ineffective. You can still exert a little bit of its power now, right?"
Red Boy examined the Reprint closely and asked casually.
Wei Chen nodded and said, "That's right; I can accumulate power within it. Once I reach my peak and throw it at someone, the effect is still quite noticeable."
Wei Chen expected Red Boy to criticize him for wasting such an impressive artifact by using it as a weapon against others. To his surprise, Red Boy slightly nodded in agreement and said, "The capabilities of the Reprint must be vast; however, no one knows exactly what it can do. The fact that you can demonstrate even a fraction of its power proves that it is still useful to you."
"What do you mean?" Wei Chen asked in astonishment. Could it be that even in such a legendary place as the Ancient World, more uses for the Reprint had not been discovered?
This was frustrating!
Red Boy said, "The Reprint is invaluable, but what it can specifically do remains a matter of debate in the Ancient World. After all, in the Ancient World, the Reprint is also considered something legendary; it has been lost for so long that it hasn’t returned to the Ancient World. Therefore, not many people know its specific functions. Your possession of the Reprint indicates that you were sent by the Ancient World to search for it; in the Ancient World, those individuals are called Missioners."
"Missioner?"
"Yes, Missioner. Of the Ten Great Artifacts of the Ancient World, three have fallen and cannot be found. To search for these lost artifacts, every so often, the Ancient World sends down Ancient Blood to various Spatial Planes. Those who receive this blood gain an Ancient Bloodline."
Red Boy looked deeply at Wei Chen and continued, "Those who possess the Ancient Bloodline have immense opportunities. Their cultivation will be smooth sailing, and their status will not be low. After all, the ancient beings personally control the birth of this blood; they wouldn't just seek out random individuals. Having a certain status is a key condition for the birth of the Ancient Bloodline. Those with such status will have more opportunities, and the chances of finding divine artifacts will be significantly higher. In contrast, ordinary individuals, even if they possess the Ancient Bloodline, will be lost in the crowd and find it difficult to stand out."
Hearing this, Wei Chen felt that Red Boy's words were reminiscent of Sword Mountain! This was simply too exaggerated!
Seemingly noticing Wei Chen's confusion, Red Boy sighed lightly and said, "Wei Chen, although it's hard for you to understand, that's the truth. The Ancient Bloodline does not inexplicably appear in other Spatial Planes; it can only be born through the control of Great Beings. You are the grandson of a Dark Mage, which gives you a respectable status in the Demon Domain. This is why the Ancient Blood chose you."
Wei Chen could only smile wryly; this was getting more and more bizarre—almost too outrageous.
"Red Boy, how many Missioners are there?"
"Many, many. The ancient Great Beings cannot sense the existence of divine artifacts due to the vast distances involved; they certainly cannot detect where the artifacts are located. Therefore, they can only rely on numerous Missioners to search for the Three Divine Artifacts. Missioners with the Ancient Bloodline have a significantly increased probability of encountering these artifacts," Red Boy explained.
Wei Chen asked again, "Are those Missioners strong in these Spatial Planes?"
"Not necessarily. Many may perish midway, and many may become mediocre for various reasons. Just having the Ancient Bloodline does not guarantee growth; it merely slightly increases the probability of becoming strong. If one possesses formidable talent and works hard, along with an extraordinary background, then the chances of becoming powerful are greatly enhanced. In that case, the Ancient Bloodline becomes a significant advantage. To put it simply, the Ancient Bloodline grows stronger when paired with strength and weaker when faced with weakness; performance varies according to different individuals."
"There are Missioners every year, but across three thousand major worlds and countless others, on average, only a few dozen Spatial Planes produce one Missioner. Thus, hope for finding the three divine artifacts is quite slim."
After hearing Red Boy's explanation, Wei Chen felt even more confused.
"Red Boy, why don't people from the Ancient World create more Missioners? Wouldn't it be better to have dozens in each Spatial Plane?"
Upon hearing this, Red Boy shook his head with a bitter smile. "Do you think they don't want to? But they have no other way. Missioners require Ancient Blood, which can only be cultivated from the Ancient Ancestral Lands of the Ancient World. Each drop of Ancient Blood is extremely precious. The Ancient World has already invested heavily in searching for these three artifacts; many people have begun to oppose further supply of Ancient Blood due to excessive waste. Casting a wide net but catching nothing has instead shackled the development of the Ancient World. That kind of Ancient Blood is incredibly valuable and scarce; every year during extraction from the Ancient Ancestral Land, battles over it are extremely bloody."
"What exactly is so special about Ancient Blood?" Wei Chen frowned and asked.
Red Boy replied, "It has great significance. Those who possess the Ancient Bloodline can refine and absorb a drop of Ancient Blood to enhance their abilities significantly and cultivate smoothly toward becoming strong—this is a basic requirement. If those strong individuals refine Ancient Blood as well, they can elevate their cultivation level considerably. However, not everyone in the Ancient World possesses an Ancient Bloodline; less than one in ten thousand do. Many major forces have a slightly higher probability among their younger generations but still less than one percent. Even among top-tier powers, it's only about ten percent. Thus, those without an Ancient Bloodline must cultivate their own from Ancient Blood found in Ancestral Lands. Just think about how precious that Ancient Blood must be."
"In the Ancient World, a single drop of Ancient Blood can be exchanged for an entire city. Yet every year they need to supply this blood to create Missioners without seeing any results or finding those three artifacts. Therefore, debates over Missioners persist in the Ancient World; fortunately, its higher-ups are rational people who understand that finding those three artifacts is worth any amount of resources spent."
"So they want more Missioners to emerge, but since there is a limited amount of Ancient Blood—only about one hundred drops each year—the number of Missioners remains at about one per year."
Red Boy looked deeply at Wei Chen and continued, "You have a drop of Ancient Blood within you, but that drop has not truly integrated into your body yet, so you don't feel much. When it fully integrates, you will awaken the powers of the Ancient Bloodline, and then you will understand just how terrifying that power is."
Upon hearing this, Wei Chen was at a loss for words.
This was too fantastical!
The Demon Lotus Emperor listened quietly, his expression changing repeatedly. He never imagined that the so-called Ancient Bloodline would be so difficult to attain. He had thought that anyone from the Ancient World would possess an Ancient Bloodline.
To his surprise, even in the Ancient World, the Ancient Bloodline was rare and precious.
The Demon Lotus Emperor began to feel a twinge of jealousy towards Wei Chen. Why did so many good things happen to him?
Yet he could also understand that it was merely a matter of enhancement. If it weren't for the Ancient Bloodline, if it weren't for that drop of blood, would he have chosen Wei Chen to inherit the Demon Lotus Heart?
The answer was clearly no.
After listening to Red Boy's words, Wei Chen pondered, "So, I now have two powerful forces within me? One is Ancient Blood, and the other is the Demon Lotus Heart? They haven't truly merged with me yet. What will I become once they do?"
Wei Chen asked himself; with such terrifying advantages, if he didn't work hard to cultivate, wouldn't that be a disservice to his mighty opportunity?
"Red Boy, what kind of world is the Ancient World?" Wei Chen looked at Red Boy and asked calmly.
