Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 404: Annihilation Throne

As Allen stared at the throne, a curtain of fire suddenly rose up from the back of the throne. The dazzling flames tore through the darkness and instantly lit up the entire world! Alan felt a pain in his eyes and quickly closed his eyes. Then, he felt as if he had fallen into a sea of hellfire. As he cried out in pain, a voice filled with boundless majesty sounded in his ears. It was a language he had never heard before, but the meaning of this sentence naturally surfaced in his heart.

After walking the path of burning blood, he ascended the Throne of Annihilation and became a supreme supreme being. Fulfill the responsibility inherited from the ancient times and let the universe return to the embrace of the abyss!

While the old voice was still echoing in his mind, Alan heard Adele's voice.

"What are you doing? Alan! Stop!"

Alan's entire body trembled as his gaze refocused. He discovered that his Origin Energy was soaring all over his body. The surrounding tables, chairs, and documents had already been burned to ashes, and a corner of the office had been destroyed. As for him, he stood in the midst of the flames, as if he hadn't noticed anything. josei

When he reacted and retrieved his Origin Energy, he discovered that he had already consumed more than half of it.

Adele was even more shocked. Earlier, Ellen's origin energy suddenly surged, activating the Liaoyuan Blade's inscription. A curtain of fire lit up around her, burning everything around her. Within the curtain of fire, a figure even faintly appeared. The figure was made up of darker flames, and the almost dark flames seemed to be its body. Those dark flames formed armor stomach, sharp horns, magical patterns, and wings, which combined the different temperaments of gorgeousness, majesty, and wildness.

That devil-like posture was only the slightest intersection of will, and one could feel the terrifying aura of that figure that was as powerful as a prison sea. It was as if under its control, destruction or survival was decided by it, and there was no room for discussion among all living beings!

The figure flashed through the flames, and Adele's heart was filled with enlightenment. That should be the source of Allen's gene, the beginning of the River of Life. If Allen was strong enough in the future and set foot on the path of rebirth. If nothing unexpected happened, most of them would transform into the posture displayed by that figure.

Adele's heart trembled. She could not imagine how powerful an ancestor would be to possess such a destructive posture!

The door to the study was pushed open one after another. Sensing Alan's origin energy fluctuations, Lucy, Edward, and the others arrived one after another. Everyone was shocked to see the tables, chairs and documents in the office and the carpet scorched black. Alan smiled bitterly, unable to explain what had happened just now. He could only say, "It's fine, it's just that the Origin Energy is out of control."

"Lost control of Origin Energy? That's no small matter." The color in Edward's eyes quietly changed. Obviously, he did not believe Alan's words.

Alan glanced at them and said, "Anyway, there's nothing wrong with me. Don't worry. I'm going out alone."

He lined up everyone and left the study. Adele, who could vaguely see Ellen's progenitor form, was also silent. She just called for the butler and asked his servants to clean the room and rearrange the furniture.

After leaving Storm City, they arrived at a mountain forest not far from the outskirts. Normally, there were only hunters here. At this time, most of the hunters were in the mountains, and the edge of the forest was quiet. Alan went to sit down in front of an ancient tree with luxuriant leaves and leaned his back against the tree trunk. After leaving the city, the crowd entered the mountain forest alone, giving him the feeling of returning to living with the pack of wolves. However, his rationality reminded him that many things were different.

He was no longer that lonely youth. Right now, he had his own territory, people, city, and subordinates. He needs to take responsibility for more people and more things. Therefore, he needed to figure out what had happened to him?

The afternoon wind blew softly through the woods, making rustling noises. An enormous figure quietly swam past the forest behind the tree. Alan seemed to feel it and raised his hand slightly. When it landed again, it had already landed on the head of the king snake. Gently rubbing the rough scales on Bai's head, Alan whispered, "We can't even go back, can we? Bai."

King Snake closed his eyes and did not respond. Ellen patted it with a chuckle and said, "I'll take you to the Wilderness Highlands later. You'll have to move. This place shouldn't be able to accommodate you anymore."

After this period of growth, Bai's body grew a few points larger. Even though the Deepblue Mountain Range was behind Storm City, it was clear that the Wildlands Highlands were more suitable for a crippled White to return to. As long as one thought about the giant beast in the lake that used the Great Lake near the base as its nest, they would know that the highlands were the ideal place to live.

Alan's mind turned back to the vision he had seen earlier.

The scene was still vivid.

The burning bloodline, the Fire Throne at the end, the seals on the bloodline, and the ancient voice. All of the scenes contained deep meaning and had a close relationship with Allen.

First of all, Alan was sure that most of this phenomenon came from the call of the bloodline. As the Origin Energy gradually grew stronger, some people could sense some strange phenomena. These phenomena originated from the origin of genes, the imprint of some will left behind by the ancestral life at the beginning of the river of endless time. To be able to leave behind an imprint that one's descendants could feel, such ancestors were often extremely powerful.

To be able to feel the brand of an ancestor, such a descendant was also unparalleled. The ancestral imprint was also known as the Ancient Call. Those who could feel it would often end up on the path of returning to their ancestors, as well as their ancestral descendants. It was a completely different path from advancing to become a ruler. One was searching for the source, while the other was forging ahead. However, regardless of which path it was, it would ultimately lead to the peak of power.

However, as far as Alan knew, those who could feel the ancestral imprint had to be at least at the Awakened Stage. Few people like him could feel the existence of the ancestral will at level 17.

Secondly, aside from this, the ancestral will he sensed was also very strange. Among them, the strangest thing was that besides him, there were other engravings that appeared. Including him, all the imprints originated from the same ancestor's gene. In other words, the owners of the seals were all Ellen's blood relatives!

Alan calculated carefully, adding on himself, there were a total of seven imprints on the path of burning blood. In other words, he had six siblings? This was too ridiculous. He clearly remembered that his mother, Lanny, only had one son. How could there be six other blood relatives?

But what if the ancestor's genes came mainly from the father he hadn't met yet? In that case, it would make sense for him to have six more half-blood relatives.

Alan's heart tightened. If that was the case, Archimedes would not only have his mother's wife. In that case, what was Lanny's waiting for? Thinking of this, Alan snorted heavily and felt uncomfortable.

A moment later, he regained his focus and returned to the path of burning blood. Without a doubt, there was only one end to the path of bloodshed, the Throne of Annihilation. If he wanted to ascend to the throne, he would have to compete with other blood relatives. A throne should be a symbol. Once one ascended to the top, they would obtain the power that the ancestors called "supreme beings". In this way, even if they were blood relatives, no one would be humble.

Moreover, they didn't even know who the other party was, so the path of burning blood should be a path of competition and even bloodline slaughter. Using the blood of one's closest relatives to pave the way to the throne, this might be the true meaning of the path of burning blood.

This was all Allen could deduce, but there were still many things he didn't understand. For example, what kind of creature was their ancestor that dared to call his own strength a "supreme being"? Furthermore, what was the responsibility of the Ancient Era? What does it mean to return the universe to the abyss?

Allen didn't have any answers to these questions, so he could only slowly dig them out in the future.

He raised his head and looked up at the blue sky. His mind left the path of burning blood, and he didn't know which void he was floating into. This afternoon, Alan did nothing but sit quietly. To him, this kind of tranquility was already a luxurious enjoyment.

Horn was also looking up at the blue sky, but from an open-air platform in Castle Ugarte, he could see the sky above Babylon. Horn didn't show any expression, but his hands behind his back were tightly clenched from time to time. Obviously, the Beth Cord's family's heart was far from calm as it was on the surface.

Not long ago, Federal President Robert Morbit had secretly summoned him. When he arrived, he didn't expect that there would be another person besides Mobius.

Maine!

By the time he saw Maine, Horn had more or less guessed why Mobbit had met him. As expected, the development of the following events was similar to what he had expected. Maine probably couldn't hide the fact that he had ambushed the Dawn anymore, so he just stood up and told Mobbit the truth. The Alexandrian family must have paid a high price, so Mobius stepped forward as a peacemaker.

More than once in his conversation, Mobius vaguely pointed out that if Horn didn't let go, it would affect the internal stability of the Federation. This was definitely not a good thing for the current volatile Federal Government. In other words, he could make the necessary arrangements to stabilize the federal government. For example, no one dared to question Mobius' decision to suppress Bescort's forces under the guise of overall righteousness.

In the end, after considering his family and Alan's fate, Horn finally agreed to compensate the Alexandrian family. However, when he left, Horn said, "If Alan is confirmed dead, I will consider leaving Beth Cord as head of the family."

Mobie and Maine naturally recognized the meaning behind this sentence. During his expedition to Nether Domain Star, Horn had already squeezed into the forest of top-notch combat power. Now that so many years had passed, as long as he hadn't retreated, it would be enough to give the two of them a headache. Removing the position of Patriarch meant that nothing could bind Horn. The threat of losing top-notch combat power was no less than the political alliance between Morbit and Main, and it was a more substantial threat!

Mobie was surprised by Horn's persistence in this matter. However, he didn't know that part of Horn's hardness came from his awareness of Lanny's debt.
