The First Vampire

Chapter 732: 728 Secrets of the Druid_3

He was torn to shreds by four demi-god Druids and completely eradicated, but he was so remarkable, he managed to blend his legacy into the bloodline of humans in such a way.

From that moment on, humans had a small chance of awakening, mastering the ‘Blood Bat’s’ innate skills, and becoming the inheritor of his legacy….”

Colin, thinking of the Emperor Gana who made him feel exceptionally close, immediately realized:

“So before me, was Gana St. Lorenzo the first human to awaken the ‘Blood Bat’ legacy?”

“No. He was not the first, there were several before him.” Silver Serpent smiled slightly, “But their outcomes were naturally terrible.”

Seeing Colin’s puzzled expression, Silver Serpent continued to explain:

...

“After the death of the ‘Blood Bat’, humans were fragmented. Groups of Druids, including me, began to carve up human faith, but the four demi-god Druids, not wishing to see another ‘Blood Bat’ birthed, monitored human activities at all times, blocking human unity.

Moreover, they were always vigilant for the births of strong humans. If someone who might carry the ‘Blood Bat’ lineage was found, they wouldn’t hesitate to kill them!”

Colin couldn’t help but ask:

“So how did Emperor Gana survive? And how did he establish a unified human empire?”

With a bitter smile, Silver Serpent said:

“Because, a new problem arose in our path to godhood through faith…”

Colin looked at the weak demi-god in front of him and said thoughtfully:

“Could it be… this method has a backlash?”

“Yes.” Silver Serpent struggled to move, immediately showing a pained expression.

Moreover, Colin noticed that Silver Serpent’s body was truly fused with the pillar. Any slight movement caused their flesh to tear.

“You see, don’t you? The faith system has given us power, but it has also firmly shackled us. Moreover, as time goes on, these shackles become more and more terrible, even beginning to assimilate us!

It’s not just me, all Druids who have adopted this method are facing this problem, and it can’t be solved!

In the long run, we will only be overwhelmed by the vast Power of Faith, becoming mindless puppets.

Perhaps, this is the real appearance of divine beings…”

Colin recalled the Holy Pools bustling with the Power of Faith under the church, and immediately realized: “No wonder you no longer absorb the Power of Faith.”

“Yes, we dare not absorb any more. However, even if we no longer actively absorb, this assimilation process is still continuing, just at a reduced speed, it won’t be long before we are completely swallowed by this faith system.” Silver Serpent sighed, and then added, “But there is one exception!”

“Who?”

“The Goddess of Fate, Elan Seraph!”

“Why?”

“Because she absorbs the faith of the Elves.”

Colin instantly understood: “So the key to not being assimilated by the faith system is to absorb the faith of your own kind?”

“Yes.” Silver Serpent nodded, “When we discovered that Elan Seraph was the only Druid not affected by assimilation, we initially thought she had discovered a secret, so we once again united to question her.

She blatantly said that she didn’t have any secrets, that the secrets of the faith system had already been publicized.

At first, we naturally didn’t believe her, so we teamed up to attack her.

Elan Seraph was stronger than us, but she was outnumbered and was soon severely wounded and on the verge of death.

In the end, even when we destroyed her Altar of Faith, making it impossible for her to continue absorbing faith, we still didn’t get the ‘secret’ that we wanted.

Only then did we realize that there was no secret.

Elan Seraph was not assimilated because she absorbed the faith of her own kind, while other Druids, who absorbed the faith of different races, had the problem of assimilation.”

Hearing this, Colin finally understood why the Goddess of Fate was so externally strong but internally weak, and why the Elves had declined to their current state.

Subsequently, he thought of another question:

“So, why did she repeatedly mislead and deceive me? And what was the deal with Emperor Gana? Is it also related to Elan Seraph?”
