Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'

Bloodline

Sequence ranking 82, as the origin of [Physical Strengthening], represents the ultimate manifestation of strength and the physical body. The attributes it provides are rather unremarkable, merely increasing health points and providing [Strength] equivalent to [Charm]. However, it lacks various enhancements and does not possess any diversified output.

Only the [Conqueror] pathway utilizes [Bloodline] as a main force because [Conqueror] is inherently a statistical occupation that crushes everything with attributes and a force that breaks all methods with sheer power.

However, sequences ranked similarly to [Bloodline] are all highly destructive with various operations, not even needing to be in a sequence. In ordinary Omega (final) Arcane Energy, one could blindly find a bunch of Arcane Energy stronger than [Bloodline].

But why is it that [Bloodline] ranks at the 82nd place?

Sequences don't lie; the top ten sequences are unconditionally stronger than others, increasingly so as rankings ascend. Ranked 13, [Dark Light] has output capabilities far surpassing the 56th ranked [Canyue], and both summons are automatic and area attacks.

However, [Dark Light]'s output ability and performance are far inferior to the 9th ranked [Gravity].

[Gravity] can move mountains and fill seas, easily crossing spaces, but compared to altering material attributes at will, transforming into a humanoid nuclear power plant, polluting half a planet by merely standing in water, it still falls short compared to [Weak Force].

[Weak Force] ranks 7th, slightly higher than [Electromagnetic Force], because [Electromagnetic Force] requires massive knowledge accumulation; otherwise, it's just an electromagnet.

And Weak Force can turn stone into gold and cause artificial decay with just a move of the hand.

As for the top three Arcane Energies—Leoz has personally demonstrated them.

[Paradox] rewrites the laws of reality, simultaneously creating infinitely large and infinitely small, existence and void.

[Void] directly creates absolute 'nothingness,' a space where even the void does not exist.

[Chaos] compared to any Arcane Energy, lacks some diversity, but the chaotic fire thoroughly shatters all physical laws and reality, ignoring spacetime boundaries, purely piling chaos, which no other Arcane Energy can compare to.

It can be said that here in Li Aozi's place, he has already acquired five of the top ten Arcane Energies. In the civilization on the Starry Abyss Side, at least below the deities, no one understands the rules of Arcane Energy better than him.

For this reason, the peculiarity of [Bloodline] had early captured Li Aozi's attention.

Staring at this report, Li Aozi's mood wasn't very complicated; he was instead calmly contemplating the reasons, especially the connection with [Bloodline].

Undoubtedly, as a Primordial Species, Merid's ability to become pregnant is entirely due to [Bloodline].

Based on the data above, Merid will probably gestate after about 20 years, and completing the production will take at least 60 years. Li Aozi found some papers on the investigation of Ascender descendants and simply calculated that these children's maturation period should reference the Dragon Race, probably taking 200 years to reach adulthood.

That is to say, no matter what, it will take 300 years for Li Aozi and Merid's 14.8 million offspring to become adults, and by that time, Li Aozi estimates he would be at least Sigma Order (18).

Even so, for two individuals to create 14.8 million direct descendants in just 300 years, this data is explosive in the entire Starry Abyss.

"Is this the true effect of [Bloodline]... 'Your bloodline is supreme'—so even the older Primordial Species compared to Starry Abyss have no advantage before my [Bloodline]."

Li Aozi took the report, returned to his room, and immediately began thinking about this matter:

"No, or rather, [Bloodline] specifically targets genetic lineage—it's the ultimate Arcane Energy of the entire reproduction, self-replication, and transmission system."

The essence of Arcane Energy is the 'Ultimate Force,' the essence of all things.

Upon careful observation, the evolution of [Bloodline] is quite singular, possessing only Arcane Energy like [Physical Strengthening], [Speed Enhancement], [Resistance Enhancement] that enhance individual qualities. But in other words—the origin of individual life strength is [Bloodline].

Bloodline: is the mandate to control individual life.

And life is a constantly self-replicating system.

Throughout natural and human history, no matter how advanced life evolves, it is inseparable from the entanglements and inheritance of lineage.

On an individual basis, when on the brink of war, danger, and death, the instinct to reproduce activates, hoping to pass on genes.

But when the external environment is harsh, such as cold, unsuitable for juvenile survival, life will prolong individual existence, waiting for a more suitable time to spread the bloodline.

Life is selfish and pure; in a sense, genes and consciousness are opposed. Bloodline only focuses on continuation and replication, not caring about ideals or aspirations.

Strengthening power is for combating brutal enemies, enhancing speed is for hunting prey, enhancing resistance is for adapting to the environment—all these enhancements are for leaving offspring in any circumstance.

The individual's strength is forever for its own continuation.

So when Li Aozi looked at the introduction of [Bloodline]'s abilities again, he gained new insights:

"For hundreds of millions of years, all creatures have relied on physical and genetic inheritance. Everything the ancestors can give you has long been engraved in the genes."
