Chapter 831: Hecate's Jealousy?



According to the Everlasting Blood Mantra, reviving diluted yet powerful bloodlines was possible.

So long as the powerful bloodlines once existed within certain species, the user could locate them and strengthen them with the Everlasting Blood Mantra.

Even if only a single blood essence of that bloodline remained in the body, it was said that the Everlasting Blood Mantra could easily locate it.

In other words, even if the target was only some commonly found house rat, as long as it was a descendant of some rat god, the Everlasting Blood Mantra could pinpoint the source of its rat god bloodline and strengthen it in folds through the continuous blood refinement of its rat god blood essence.

Nevertheless, the Everlasting Blood Mantra was only most effective on beast bloodlines due to their inherent traits to record ancestral memories in their blood.

Honestly, the technique seemed far too powerful to be true.

After all, if Vaan could successfully cultivate it, he would be able to strengthen the Red Dragon Clan's Fire Dragon God Bloodline and not worry about depleting the reserve of the Fire Dragon God's blood essence.

"This technique seems a little too outrageous, does it not? If something like this was legit, it has to be the technique of some primordial god of blood..." Vaan commented.

In Pangea, the god term was loosely used to refer to any Rank 6 Divine Being. However, a True God was far more powerful than that; only a Rank 11 Divinity would be called a True God.

A primordial god normally referred to such a being or above.

"It indeed seems that way. However, my ancestors still obtained it from the Mysterious Primeval Secret Realm. So, there must be something special about it. Unfortunately, I have both failed to cultivate it and learn its secrets," Hecate said self-deprecatingly.

"Lady Hecate, you mentioned that the denizens of Chaos believed the Mysterious Primeval Secret Realm came from the very first era, the Primal Chaos Era?" Vaan mentioned.

"That's right, Sir Vaan," Hecate nodded.

"If the Everlasting Blood Mantra truly came from the Primal Chaos Era, could the heavenly laws of Chaos have changed since then, causing the technique to work no longer as intended?" Vaan guessed.

"I've also thought that might be the case, but I never really had the opportunity to verify its possibility until now. Honestly, I've also completely forgotten about it until very recently, Sir Vaan," Hecate smiled wryly.

There was a time when she studied the Everlasting Blood Mantra intensively in order to surpass the limitation of her soul.

However, she had already given up on it.

Furthermore, she was currently focused on the Nihility Law. After all, its concept had already shown her the path to Rank 7.

As such, it was a bigger priority than the Everlasting Blood Mantra.

"Maybe it was destiny that led me to give the Everlasting Blood Mantra to you, Sir Vaan," Hecate casually said.

"Perhaps," Vaan uttered, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. Shortly after storing all his gifts, he asked, "Are we conducting the contract ceremony now, Lady Hecate?

Hecate immediately looked offended as she gasped, "Are you in such a hurry to get rid of me, Sir Vaan? I did say I would perform it after passing you the gifts, but it didn't have to be literally after."

"I came bearing such great gifts, but you won't even show me the least bit of hospitality? My, this saddens me quite a bit," Hecate said exaggeratedly.

Vaan smiled wryly, pointing out, "Even if I wish to show you my hospitality, I'm afraid there isn't much to show around here, Lady Hecate."

There was nothing but hard layers of rocks around them.

Maybe if they returned to the moon colony, he could at least treat her to some dry biscuits and clean water.

However, that would be the extent of it.

After all, only a small part of the moon colony was recently rebuilt, and it was still far from a luxury stay.

As such, how could it possibly match the standards of a Great Devil such as Hecate? "Indeed, there aren't any fancy restaurants or cafes around here. Not even a single scenery or piece of entertainment. However, staying in this pure land is still far better than any developed city I know of," Hecate smiled before adding, "Moreover, I'm only asking to stick around for a bit."

"You see, I'm quite curious to watch how you bullied my Dreamcatchers, Sir Vaan. They don't even know how to greet me after seeing me anymore," Hecate sulked as she glanced in a particular direction.

In that instant, the space twisted before Seventh Dream and Ninth Dream emerged from their dream field, dropping to their knees.

"Mistress, we were wrong!" Seventh Dream and Ninth Dream pleaded guilty.

Evidently, they had been hiding in the area since Hecate arrived. No, they had been hiding in the area even before she arrived.

Nevertheless, Vaan already knew about their presence. Thus, he didn't pay them any mind.

"Whatever could you mean by bullying them, Lady Hecate? On the contrary, I think I've been treating them quite well, if I had to say so myself," Vaan smiled shamelessly before commenting, "It's strange, though. Is that a hint of jealousy in your tone I sense, Lady Hecate?"

"You must be imagining things, Sir Vaan," Hecate coolly played before turning to her Dreamcatchers. "You three, line up here right now."

"Y-Yes, Mistress!" the three Dreamcatchers quickly answered.

Even Fourth Dream was no exception. She joined up with Seventh Dream and Ninth Dream despite feeling great fear in facing her mistress. None of them dared to make eye contact due

to their guilt.

Fourth Dream felt even greater pressure when Hecate gave everyone a sweeping hard look.

"Looks like you have all made improvements in your cultivation," Hecate nodded with approval before asking, "So, who wants to return to Dreamdust Territory?"

|| ||

Surprisingly, all three Dreamcatchers hesitated to answer. Although they missed their home, they were reluctant to return so soon.

"What is this? Feeling reluctant to return already?" Hecate slyly smiled, mentioning, "I still remember how unwilling you all looked when I instructed you three to stay behind."

The three Dreamcatchers immediately felt ashamed. Indeed, they couldn't deny it, even though they were afraid to admit it.

"Are you seeing this, Sir Vaan? If you hadn't bullied them, how could they not dare to even look me in the eye?" Hecate mentioned.
