This was Hodan's greatest gain besides the Sovereign Artifact. Even Oufu had wanted the blood essence of the Four Divine Beasts. If Hodan could successfully fuse the essence he now possessed, he might create four Asura-level powerhouses.
An Asura could protect a clan and ensure its prosperity for generations, so long as they didn't provoke anyone of equal or greater strength.
Hodan carefully placed the blood essence into separate jade bottles, labeled each one, and stowed them in the deepest part of his Space Ring. There was no safer place than keeping them close.
He had already decided how to use the blood essence. Aside from the essence of the Four Divine Beasts he kept for himself, he would use most of the rest to cultivate powerhouses within his clan.
He would set some aside as a reserve, in case the Destruction Sovereign suddenly needed it. That way, at least, Hodan wouldn't be put in a difficult position.
Although the Eight Great Clans had formed an alliance, there were degrees of closeness. Hodan belonged to the Renars Clan, so naturally he would put his own clan first. As for the other seven clans, he would at most put in a little extra effort when explaining the Mysteries. How much they learned would be up to them.
In the original story, Beirut had used mortals to fuse with the blood essence of the Four Divine Beasts because he had no other choice. At the time, the Radiant Overlord had him cornered, so he could only use the essence on mortals. Naturally, the success rate was low.
After all, mortals' bodies and souls were too fragile. But the powerhouses in the Renars Clan were different.
There were quite a few people in the clan with low-grade bloodlines, or even no Thunder Serpent
