Vanguard!

First of all, not everyone can go to another world.

Going to that world is pointless for anyone below the fourth rank; you have to be at least at the fourth rank.

But it's a bit too early to throw people over there now. The top powers of that world haven't shown up yet. If we have to say that the few powerful people Qin Leng summoned before were the strongest in that other world, then...

Chen Ye didn't believe it.

He felt that there must be other experts who hadn't yet shown themselves.

Some even say that a so-called God exists.

Then, Chen Ye thought of a suitable candidate.

However, it may need to evolve once more before heading to the other world.

This person is 008, the true ancestor.

The forgotten True Ancestor has found his second spring; he has been found by Chen Ye, who has given him a bottle of magic potion.

However, the approach to this potion began to change.

Chen Ye didn't need him to develop immortality; instead, he used the Blood Clan as a springboard to grasp the concept of alchemy.

That is, equivalent exchange.

That's right, the name of this potion is Philosopher's Stone.

If the calculations are correct, then this potion should not boost the True Ancestor's combat power in the short term.

After that, Chen Ye sent the True Ancestor to another world.

But there is one thing: there are vampires in another world, and the vampires in the two worlds are somewhat similar.

So, what would it be like if the progenitors of vampires from two different worlds met?

In a city in another world.

Recently, a plague, or rather a disease, called Frozen Disease has been spreading in the city.

People infected with Frozen Disease will experience their bodies becoming increasingly stiff until they die.

And this disease, without a doubt, was brought about by those monsters who tread on frost.

Inside the town's church, a group of stiff-limbed people lay sprawled on the ground, while the church's pastor was covered in sweat.

"What should I do? Holy water and healing spells aren't working at all!"

"This is not a disease... nor magic, but an unknown mystery that we have never seen before, or even that has ever appeared in the world."

"Have you thought of anything?"

"I'm afraid... only the one who brought him here can solve this problem."

"You mean those Undead Creatures?"

"They are not Undead Creatures; they possess intelligence and consciousness, which cannot be simply summarized as Undead Creatures."

"Where they went, the sky darkened, the earth frosted, and fire could not melt it, nor could the sun extinguish it. This was not magic, but something more fundamental."

"Something more fundamental?"

What is that?

"I don't know either, but it definitely wasn't magic."

"The Aaron Empire's battle lines are retreating again and again. At this rate, we'll be there soon too..."

"Is there really no way to deal with those monsters?"

An old man shook his head. "I don't know... at least, I can't think of any way to do it."

"Perhaps only that paladin riding Winged Horse can truly suppress those monsters."

"You mean the Holy Sword?"

"Yes."

"But... the Holy Sword has been missing for many years."

"No, the Holy Sword did not disappear; it simply remained dormant within the church for several years."

"Why?"

"Do you remember that time the church organized a large-scale campaign of slaying, and the Elder of the Styx of the Dark Assembly was their target that time?"

"They clashed in the Wornal Marsh, where the Elder of the Styx, riding a black dragon, killed hundreds of the Church's paladins with an ancient, forbidden technique."

"That campaign failed because the Holy Sword suddenly lost itself during the battle."

"Six months later, the Dark Assembly began to expand rapidly, and the conflict between the church and them broke out again."

"The Holy Sword itself disappeared during that conflict."

"And when he returned, Elder Styx disappeared again without any reason."

"After these two disappearances, the two seemed to have seen something terrifying, and they both left and never appeared again."

"So what did they see?"

"The Holy Sword said he saw towering castles on all sides, a huge sun he had never seen before, and even a Celestial Creature with countless wings!"

"He retrieved his lost Steel-Slaying Sword there, and he believed he had arrived in the heavens."

"There is a terrifying being in the Heavenly Realm who can bring them there at will, but the Holy Sword didn't even have time to see what that person looked like before it was sent back."

"After that, the Holy Sword prayed before the statue of the god day and night, hoping that the existence of the heavens could summon him once more."

"But there was no response for a long time."

Just as the two were talking, a man suddenly walked into the church.

The old man looked up and immediately picked up his weapon!

Not for any other reason, but because the man had white hair!

White hair, pale skin—isn't that exactly how people describe the White Walkers?

But... his eyes don't seem to be blue?

Instead, it was blood red.

"Who are you? No, what are you?"

The old man raised the heavy mace, and the priests around him tensed up immediately.

The white-haired man cleared his throat, a red light trembling within his chest. "I'm very interested in the holy sword you mentioned. Could you... tell me more about it?"

The man's tone was very strange, and his accent didn't sound like a local, despite his best efforts to hide it.

The old man glanced at the priest beside him, gesturing for him to cast a prayer spell to see if the other party was a monster.

The priest understood the old man's meaning and quickly cast the Radiant Light spell!

When the light fell on the white-haired man, black smoke appeared on his skin, and his face immediately became terrifying and ferocious!

The pungent smell of blood hit him, and the old man immediately understood what was in front of him!

"It's a vampire! Quick, get the mithril..."

Puff!

Before the old man could finish speaking, a blood-red thorn suddenly pierced the vampire's chest and plunged into the old man's heart!

The next second, the old man's body was pulled directly towards the vampire!

Immediately afterwards, the old man was compressed into a ball and merged into the vampire's body!

At the same time, the vampire closed his eyes.

"Indeed, this is more convenient."

The visitor was none other than Sequence 008 True Ancestor.

What he just demonstrated was the ability he had acquired.

The ability known as the Philosopher's Stone allows it to transform all flesh and blood in its path and integrate it into its own body.

It can also access those people's memories, knowledge, skills, and magic.

This is the first ability of the Philosopher's Stone, and the Philosopher's Stone also has another ability, which is to analyze the essence.

After consuming these people, 008 immediately learned the language of this world.

At the same time, he also learned about the world.

Using this method, 008 has swept through the world and gained a fairly good understanding of it.

The task Chen Ye assigned him was to gather intelligence.

Ideally, we should be able to determine how many hidden powerhouses exist in this world.
