Beneath the towering Scarlet Tower, tens of thousands of black dots lay prostrate, these were the Blood Clan of the Holy City.
Its scale is vast and boundless, stretching as far as the eye can see!
His Blood Clan Progenitor Norton the vampires, dressed in a blood-red royal robe and wearing a scarlet crown, stood on the balcony at the top of the tower, his tall and perfect body, over two meters high, looking down at all the Vampire.
Two enormous bat-like monsters, each over three meters tall with their wings folded behind them, crouched on either side of him. The Pressure emanating from these two monsters alone made Abraham and Elizabeth turn pale, and they dared only stand cautiously in an inconspicuous position behind them.
Abraham lagged behind Elizabeth by half a step, cautiously peeking at the long-unseen ancestral body standing on the edge of the front balcony. The more he looked, the more horrified and terrified he became.
"It's only been two months, how come Old Norton has already started to rot?"
Norton, dressed in a blood-red royal robe, had noticeable ulcers and peeling skin. With each step he took, flakes of skin, resembling keratin, would flake off his body, making his already ugly appearance even more repulsive and horrifying to Abraham.
"What on earth is he turning into? Why is his back all hunched over?!"
This level of skin ulceration is so severe it's like a snake shedding its entire skin, a truly chilling sight.
Aside from his uglier appearance, the oppressive aura emanating from the progenitor Norton's body had become even more intense. Just standing there, he felt as if he were being stared at by something terrifying, experiencing a strong sense of suffocation.
Norton, dressed in royal robes and wearing a crown, looked down at the densely packed kneeling Vampire figures below and finally felt a sense of the passage of time.
Having lived a life of caution and fear within the Church, how could I have imagined that I too would one day enjoy such a high and mighty position?
The once timid and weak Little Norton has grown into the Norton Ancestor. If this situation were applied to Norton when he was imprisoned in the Church, he would have been overjoyed and cheered. But now, he only feels bored and indifferent.
"It's nothing like the carefree days of youth..."
His Majesty Norton sighed slightly, his indifferent expression perfectly illustrating what it truly means to forget one's roots!
A cold wind swept by, causing His Majesty Norton's blood-red royal robes to sway, revealing his long, slender legs that were neither underwear nor leg hair. Finally, he slowly spoke, and with Pressure that could cover half the land of Sesvia, he transmitted his will completely and clearly to the ears of every Vampire covered by the magnetic field.
"According to the books of the Holy Lord Church, God created the Garden of Eden. In the beginning, the order was disordered. The serpent mated with the elephant and produced ' Yindan '; the horse mated with the rooster and produced ' The Epoch '. The mating affected God's heart, and thus the human race was born. God mated with a woman and produced 'God 'Shenyin '; God mated with a man and produced ' Jonah '; God mated with the dead and produced ' Kuba '."
Kuba killed God, Shenyin stripped him of his body, but his immortal blood remained in the Church, which I obtained. With his Vampire blood, I forged the foundation of eternal life!
Therefore, I am the Blood Clan Progenitor, and also the god who created Blood Clan! The Blood Clan were created by me, so everything follows my will! Therefore, as my Existence Level rises, all other Vampire will also rise accordingly.
Any abnormality in my body will be reflected in the bodies of all Vampire, so if I, Norton, die, then all the other Vampire will die as a result.
This is a feedback from Existence Level, an oppression of one's level of existence, which is irresistible!
I am the very foundation of the Blood Clan's existence. All Vampire should do everything in their power to obey my commands and protect my safety...
The Primordial Pressure seemed to connect the brainwaves of all the Vampire within Pressure. His indifferent and ruthless words appeared clearly in the minds of the Vampire enveloped by his Pressure. Along with it, there was also an indescribable life force, making these Vampire feel like tiny ants seeing a towering giant. Terror, despair, insignificance, and a host of other emotions appeared in their minds at once.
Abraham, who was standing behind him listening to him speak, looked emaciated and his heart was ashen.
"Just as I suspected, that damned Old No... His Majesty Norton truly holds the fate of the Blood Clan in his hands!"
Therefore, we Vampire, who have been bred by him, are destined to be his slaves for eternity, with no hope whatsoever...
Abraham felt as if he were a worker ant produced by the queen ant, under the control of Norton, the queen ant, from birth to death.
He didn't even dare to bet on whether Norton was lying.
What if it's true?
Just like Adam never dared to gamble on people's hearts...
In the year 2257 of the Christian calendar, His Blood Clan Progenitor Norton, delivered a rough speech in Sesvia on the fundamental principles of the birth of the New-Type Vampire. He formally established the great identity of the Vampire Progenitor and laid the foundation for the rule of the Blood Clan: the Progenitor Power Supremacy System!
Therefore, the year 2257 in the Christian calendar is historically known as the Year 1 of the Blood Clan, or the Year 1 of Norton.
In order to better maintain its rule and to divide Blood Clan into different classes, so as to win over some, suppress others, and command others, Blood Clan Progenitor Norton, formally established the division of the Blood Clan status.
It still uses the 'Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, Baron' system of peerage, with Abraham and Elizabeth being Blood Clan dukes, and so on down the line until the Fourth-Generation Vampire are completely enslaved.
It still employs a merit-based advancement system to better maintain its rule and provide psychological comfort to all Vampire.
With Norton's coronation, his actions were not as wise and powerful as most founding emperors in history. Instead, he was more like a muddle-headed emperor. At the beginning of the Blood Kingdom, he was ambitious and set an unprecedented goal of subverting the Church in a hundred years.
Furthermore, their reasoning was extremely far-fetched, claiming that " the Church believes in God and has a restraining effect on my Blood Clan; if the Church is allowed to develop unchecked, then my Blood Clan will eventually have no place to stand!"
While these reasons are related to the Blood Clan, they are extremely far-fetched. Blood Clan have so many weaknesses; they fear not only the Church, but also the sun and silver objects. Although the Church's faith in God can inflict burning pain on the Blood Clan through its religious ornaments and images of God, its lethality is far less than that of sunlight and silver objects. So why doesn't Norton destroy the sun and collect all the silver in the world?
Leaving aside the hopeless ambitions set by the progenitor Norton, after he ascended to the throne, he initially worked diligently, establishing Blood Clan laws, planning the construction of the Blood Clan cities, setting up management systems at all levels, and formulating Blood Clan expansion plans... However, as time went on, the progenitor Norton began to work sporadically, and even gradually withdrew from the center of power, handing over all control to Grand Duke Abraham and Grand Duke Elizabeth.
He himself became increasingly obsessed with constructing wonders, frequently conscripting tens of thousands of Vampire slaves to build all sorts of strangely shaped and massive sacrificial structures, or digging out crypts to build vast cemeteries, burying the corpses of Vampire he had killed for their transgressions within them. He would then carve various murals and sculptures on the walls of these structures or tombs, using the murals to depict his own fabricated legends about the Vampire species, and even uttering nonsensical phrases such as "for future archaeological use"...
What a foolish and incompetent ruler, bringing disaster to the country and its people!
