Chapter 5: I Am Father Earth’s Favorite Child?

“It’s the twentieth time. It’s still a familiar recipe. A familiar smell.” Yan Chong muttered softly after looking at the scene before him.

This was a place similar to an altar.

The sealed stone chamber was paved with grayish-white bricks. In the middle was a square stone platform about two meters in diameter and one meter in height. Yan Chong was standing in the middle of the stone platform.

The stone platform was engraved with a mysterious and strange pattern. The ravines on the lines flowed with black and red unknown paint, filled with evil and terror.

The floor beneath the stone platform was also engraved with a similar pattern. However, it looked like an enlarged version. The reason why Yan Chong believed that this was the altar was because of the person kneeling beneath the stone platform.

A guy in a black cloak was kneeling on the ground and praying to Yan Chong.

This was the entirety of Yan Chong’s strange dream. This was the scene in his dream. He could not move and just stood quietly on the stone platform. Then, a strange person knelt below the platform and kept mumbling something to him, but Yan Chong was very sure that he was praying.

This was an evil prayer ritual!

“But things have changed.”

It was just like how his vision had suddenly recovered today. Previously, in the dream, Yan Chong could clearly understand that he was dreaming, which was the so-called lucid dream. However, he could not move at all. He could not understand what the other party was saying or what he was doing.

Today, however, he could feel that there were no restraints on his body and he could move freely. Additionally, he understood what the other party was saying. It was a foreign and familiar language, completely different from Chinese and English.

He said it was foerign because Yan Chong was certain that this was the first time he had heard it. The familiarity was because Yan Chong had somehow understood this language. It was as natural as the mother tongue.

“The great Lord of Hell, the noble Demon God, Lady Lilith’s sweetheart, Mr. Satan…”

…

“I am your humble and faithful believer, the poor lamb lost in the world, Richard Miller.”

…

“Please respond to my call. Please respond to my call and awaken the hidden bloodline in my body.”

…

“For this, I am willing to give up everything I have, my family, my friends, all my wealth, even my soul.”

…

Activate [Reading]!

Facing this scene, Yan Chong decisively activated his ability. He wanted to know if he could use his ability in the dream, or if this was not a dream!

Name: Richard Miller

Race: Black Iron Race

Occupation: None

Battle Power: D-

Power: 0.9, Agility: 1.1, Intelligence: 0.8.

Constitution: 0.9, Spirit: 0.7, Charm: 1.5.

Sure enough, he could do it!

He looked at his stats.

Skills: Reading D, Absorption D, Learning D, Demon Eye Inheritance Knowledge D, Transcendent Space Traverse XXXX.

As expected, the Transcendent Space Traverse XXXX was no longer sealed. At the same time, a stream of information flowed into his mind.

Transcendent Space Traverse XXXX: The ability to travel between two main worlds is a gift from the World’s Consciousness. Cooldown time: 23 hours 58 minutes 66 seconds.

“Looks like I did transmigrate. Also, this Transcendent Space Traverse ability is very high-level. It’s a gift from the World’s Consciousness. Does that mean I’m Father Earth’s favorite child?”

As if he had discovered something, Richard Miller, who had been keeping his head lowered, suddenly raised his head. His hood was also flipped open, revealing an extremely old face. Deep eye sockets, dense wrinkles, and a bald head with only a few gray hairs left made one feel as if they had encountered a demon.

“You, who are you?!” A hoarse voice of doubt sounded.

When he opened his mouth, Yan Chong seemed to see an abyss.

“No, you are not His Majesty Satan. Who are you?” Richard observed Yan Chong carefully and shouted excitedly.

Yan Chong shrugged and said, “Hello, sir. Would you believe me if I said I was just passing by?” For some reason, Yan Chong felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to this old man. It was as if they were related by blood.

At this moment, through their gazes, a message appeared in Yan Chong’s mind.

Bloodline: Human D, Demon Eye Warlock D- (Deprived, a trace of it remains).

“Deprived! This fellow’s Demon Eye Warlock bloodline has been stripped away! And I just happened to obtain the bloodline of the Demon Eye Warlock! This means that this old man gave me his Demon Eye Warlock bloodline through a strange and evil ritual.

“However, from the Inheritance Knowledge, combined with his previous prayer, his original intention was to make a deal with Satan, the Devil God, and pay something else. Then, he would awaken his hidden bloodline. This bloodline is definitely not a human bloodline, but the bloodline of the Demon Eye Warlock.

“Unfortunately, his bloodline was seized and given to me. In other words, this old man sent Satan a parcel, but it turned out that I was the one who received the parcel, and he had sent the wrong thing.”

Yan Chong pondered silently.

“Damn it, this is clearly my secret chamber. How did you appear here? Are you one of those jackals from the Radiance Church?” It seemed that Richard didn’t believe Yan Chong’s words. He stood up and slowly walked toward Yan Chong. Just like the zombies in the Plants vs. Zombies.

Although he felt very close to Richard and felt an inexplicable sense of guilt, his sharp five senses told Yan Chong that this old man was up to no good.

Sure enough, when Richard was still five steps away from Yan Chong, the old man changed from his decrepit appearance and took out a cold dagger from his chest pocket. He jumped up and rushed toward Yan Chong like an NBA player breaking into a forbidden zone.

“F*ck!” Yan Chong cursed silently as his hair stood on end.

As a high school student who grew up under the red flag, he had never encountered such a ferocious thug in such a harmonious environment in China. Moreover, it was not that he did not have a premonition that this old man was up to no good, but who knew that this old man, who was about to die at any moment, could suddenly erupt with such a powerful strength?

In an instant, his hair stood on end, and the blood in his body seemed to have frozen. Death was getting closer and closer! But the situation didn’t seem that bad.

While Yan Chong was concentrating, Richard’s movements seemed to slow down. Everything in the world seemed to slow down by 0.5 times. At this critical moment, Yan Chong suddenly turned to the side and took a small step back. In the end, Richard waved his dagger in the air and passed by Yan Chong.

Bang! As the two of them passed each other, Richard seemed to have used up his last bit of strength. He lay on the stone platform and did not move. Perhaps it was a coincidence, but the dagger went through his chest, and the tip of the blade penetrated Richard’s back.

Yan Chong stared blankly at Richard, who was lying on the ground. He was standing at the edge of the stone platform and almost fell down. The person in front of him had refreshed his understanding of this new world.

He broke out in a cold sweat. “This is such a dangerous world! It’s a good thing I reacted quickly. Otherwise, I would have died. His status is so low, yet he can still make such an action. Could it be that he knows some explosive secret skill?”

He noticed Richard’s status:

Power: 0.9, Agility: 1.1, Intelligence: 0.8.

Constitution: 0.9, Spirit: 0.7, Charm: 1.5.

Although he did not comment on the Charm of 1.5, the other status were pitifully low. If 1.0 was the benchmark for the status of ordinary adults, then Richard was weaker than Yan Chong. However, with Yan Chong’s status, it was impossible for him to leap onto a one-meter platform from a distance of nearly three meters without running.

One had to know that jumping three meters was considered a long jump. Basically, 99% of adults could not do it. If he neglected Richard’s walking speed, the fact that he jumped a distance of three meters on the spot and jumped up one meter was surprising.

The fusion of the Demon Eye Warlock’s bloodline had only given Yan Chong some improvement in his five senses and mind.

“It seems like it’s easier to obtain XP in this world. At least, this is a world similar to the Middle Ages. There is also the legendary battle Qi and magic. Battles should be common.”

“So—”

Yan Chong slowly calmed down from his adrenaline rush. He rubbed his hands and activated [Absorption] on Richard’s corpse.
