Strictly speaking, there were quite a few people in this world who possessed divine bloodlines. Like the Second Divine Lord Ye Xiwen had killed before—he possessed the bloodline of the legendary Titan Clan. Even in the Myth Era, the Titan Clan had been a powerful race of gods.
But even so, he could not be considered a Child of God. At most, he had merely awakened some Titan bloodline; he was far from qualifying as a Child of God.
Apart from the first-generation offspring of gods, only descendants who could awaken their divine bloodline to more than fifty percent could be considered Children of God.
Do not underestimate that fifty percent. According to the records in ancient texts, aside from descendants born between gods and mortals, who naturally became Children of God, it was exceedingly difficult for other descendants to awaken their bloodline beyond fifty percent. For many people, it was simply impossible.
Of course, some descendants were born with genetic mutations and possessed bloodlines exceeding fifty percent from birth. For example, Ye Xukong before them.
Presumably, the original Ye Xukong had never intended to reveal that he was a Child of God. Once exposed, who knew how many people would eye him like tigers watching their prey? No one knew how many years it had been since anyone had touched the legendary realm of immortality possessed by gods. Now that a Child of God had suddenly appeared, Ye Xiwen could imagine how terrifyingly alluring that would be to those old monsters on the verge of perishing or dying of old age. If Ye Xukong had not been born into the Ye Family, but into some minor faction, that faction would likely have been wiped out on the spot, and Ye Xukong himself taken away as a guinea pig to
