The moment those two words left her mouth, everyone was stunned.
Divine... descendant? A descendant of a god!
Chen Rui recalled the Three Light Kings' strange attitude back then, how they had repeatedly asked whether Dodo was truly his biological daughter. At last, he understood.
"Dodo is a divine descendant? Then..." Catherine understood as well. She looked at Chen Rui in disbelief. "You..."
"Don't look at me like that. I can guarantee that I'm absolutely not some god." Chen Rui gave a wry smile. "Or perhaps, just as the Three Light Kings said, it's Dodo's own bloodline..."

Their starting point is destined to surpass others', their potential is limitless, and cultivation will yield twice the results with half the effort. Those with such bloodlines are generally called 'demigods.' This does not refer to the Demigod stage of cultivation, but to demigods in the true sense—those who possess a god's bloodline. However, the divine descendants I speak of may also be descendants who inherited it across generations, or descendants of demigods.
