Ophiel's eyes flickered as she said:
"In ancient times, before the Eternal Night, the outer gods that invaded our world seemed to have used a certain method to create a batch of vessels belonging exclusively to them. Once those vessels were successfully cultivated, their bloodlines would remain highly compatible with the outer gods that created them, even after hundreds or thousands of generations."
"At the very beginning of the War of the Gods, they actually used this method to project themselves into our world. Only after killing several gods through a series of lightning offensives did they tear open that great rift leading to the Warp."
But she soon shook her head again.
"However, after the Vessel Families were hunted down in later ages, that method should have been lost long ago."
She instinctively looked at Lin En, only to freeze. The boy sitting before her had slightly dilated pupils, as though he had slipped into a trance.
"My lord... what's wrong?"
Lin En instantly snapped out of it and said with dead-fish eyes:
"Nothing. So if what you said is true, and vessels can be created using the outer gods' method, you would have trouble seeing through them even if they stood right in front of you?"
Ophiel nodded.
"That's right. That's why those vessels are the most terrifying kind. Once they've been created, as far as I know..."
"No one but their masters can tell them apart."
She took a deep breath.
"That's why I said that if they really are that kind of vessel, we probably won't discover them until their masters personally descend into their bodies... but by then, what would any of it matter?"
Lin En understood.
Then his gaze fell on Hana Ye in his arms, who had looked utterly bewildered the entire time.
