Ed saw no related news, nor did he notice any signs of a blockade similar to the location of the sheep, which should tell us something.
Moreover, he could see that as the infection progressed with each generation, the Blood Poison seemed to be diluted, and the effectiveness of the infection gradually decreased.
The earliest sheep mothers had the most severe Aberration, almost turning into completely different creatures.
By the fourth and fifth generation infected, not only did they still look like sheep overall, but even their fangs were barely visible.
Ed certainly didn't believe that ordinary livestock in the real world had any resistance to the Blood Poison from another world, so the answer could only lie in the world itself.
After careful consideration, he quickly arrived at an answer similar to that of the professor and others.
Blood Poison, which uses Psionic Energy as a carrier and medium, requires the participation of Psionic Energy in its spread. Without Psionic Energy, there is simply no theoretical basis for its widespread spread in reality.
But another question arises: if the death of the Blue Dragon briefly tore open the barrier between the real world and the World of Disorder, transmitting the aurora containing a large amount of Psionic Energy to another world, then why did the Blood Poison pass away?
No one saw any Blood Corpse appear, right?
Or is it because the battlefield is located in the Demon Realm?
That's quite possible.
According to Gray, Xilǐ'er, and Duma, the Demon Realm is now a paradise for Blood Corpse and vampires.
If there were Blood Corpse near the Blue Dragon when the two worlds were torn apart, or if the Blue Dragon was not killed by the Twin Kings but was hunted down by one or more vampire grand dukes, then it would not be surprising that the Psionic Energy transmitted to the real world contained Blood Poison.
Most of the Blood Poison probably dissipated the moment Descent the real world due to the scarcity of Psionic Energy. Only a small portion contaminated an unfortunate sheep that happened to be injured, which led to the series of events that followed.
Ed, lost in thought, rubbed his temples a couple of times.
If the material channel between the real world and the World of Disorder were opened, and given the Psionic Energy that connects the two worlds as a foundation, then the Blood Corpse would undoubtedly be the greatest threat to the other world.
From the perspective of World of Disorder, vampires received the blessing of the Demonic Tide, which then swept across the entire continent.
From a real-world perspective, no one wants this kind of thing to happen again in another world.
Therefore, regardless of the circumstances, vampires are currently the Second Holy See's greatest and most terrifying enemy.
After calculating the time, Ed realized that spring was just around the corner for the World of Disorder.
Given the world's equally disordered climate, it can be said that the spring of the Second Holy See is just around the corner.
The plants are about to revive, the earth is about to thaw, and even the Blood Corpse that have been killed and trapped by the low temperature and frozen soil are about to attack again.
Compared to the Blood Corpse that appeared in the second half of last year, next year's Corpse Tide horde will be visibly more ferocious.
In any case, now that he has completely occupied the Aduolin Province, he feels more confident in facing the Blood Corpse that will appear in the spring.
In March of the year 909 in the Royal Calendar, the world ushered in the 98th spring after the Demonic Tide.
Xilǐ'er is battling Blue Dragon the size of a small mountain.
Logically speaking, killing someone would be no easier than a human crushing an ant.
But the truth is, he had been fighting this enormous monster for a very long time, so long that even Xilǐ'er himself could hardly estimate the length of this time.
But for Xilǐ'er, as long as he was alive, as long as the battle was not over, and as long as the enemy had not surrendered, he would continue to launch attacks.
Finally, in a near-eternal lull between battles, he heard the Blue Dragon speak and ask:
Why did you trespass into my territory and fight me?
Unexpectedly, Xilǐ'er understood the Blue Dragon's language.
But he found it difficult to give a clear response at this moment, as if his logical thinking would inexplicably break down whenever he thought of this.
And at times like these, only one thought comes to his mind—
loyalty!
"I have come by the command of the eternally existing Twin Kings to punish you, you wicked beast."
Blue Dragon took a few breaths and continued to ask:
Why did the Twin Kings want to kill me?
"Naturally, it's because you are an enemy of both His Majesties."
"I've never even seen the Twin Kings' you're talking about."
"That means your existence threatens the Eternal Domain."
"I've never been to the Eternal Domain, nor have I ever heard of it."
"That means you committed an unforgivable crime here, perhaps robbing a caravan, assassinating a nobleman, or destroying a village for amusement..."
The weakened Blue Dragon looked around and said:
"This is the Demon Realm; there's nothing here but Blood Corpse."
Xilǐ'er was utterly speechless. He couldn't very well say that he was there to avenge the Blood Corpse. To be fair, the Blue Dragon living on the edge of the Demon Realm realm had probably killed more Blood Corpse than he had.
At this moment, his instinct as a knight of justice drove him to think about the true answer to this question, but a kind of pressure from the depths of his soul forced him to stop thinking.
"By the command of the eternally living Twin Kings..."
"Hahahaha, cough cough cough..."
The Blue Dragon's roar carried an undisguised smile, but his heavy coughing only accentuated his dejected state.
Before they knew it, the pale blue hill had arrived in front of Xilǐ'er.
The enormous dragon head lowered, its gaze meeting the knight's through the narrow, dark helmet's observation window.
"May I have your name?"
" Xilǐ'er."
As a knight, Xilǐ'er was never afraid to make his name known to the public.
Hello, Xilǐ'er.
The claws swept past with a powerful gust of wind, and the knight's vision suddenly opened up. His helmet had already vanished into thin air in that instant when the claws struck.
With his messy brown hair hanging down, the knight met the Blue Dragon's eyes.
"You are special and interesting; your willpower far surpasses that of ordinary people."
The Blue Dragon circled Xilǐ'er once, or more precisely, its neck and head circled Xilǐ'er once, while its body remained almost completely still.
The behemoth's eyes flashed with Psionic Energy, and Xilǐ'er felt as if his body was being frantically infused with a special kind of Psionic Energy, like a balloon.
A lofty and majestic voice echoed in his mind:
"Therefore, in the name of the last descendant of the Blue Dragon Clan, I bless you! May you see the path ahead clearly and find your true self."
The knight awoke from his slumber to find himself surrounded by an intricately patterned ceiling and grand, imposing walls.
He slowly rose to his feet, and a dark curtain came into view.
Xilǐ'er immediately knelt on one knee, filled with trepidation, and bowed to his lord.
" Xilǐ'er, you have advanced to the Middle Tier."
A hoarse, deep voice came through; it was the Immortal King calling out to him.
Almost habitually, Xilǐ'er gave the most standard answer:
"All this is thanks to the grace of Your Majesties; your loyal knight awaits further orders."
"It's your own strong will that allowed you to get through this. But now that you've made it through, a new title, serfs, and territory will be allocated to you."
The Immortal King waved his hand:
"You can tell me the rest."
The two-faced throne slowly rotated half a circle before Xilǐ'er, and his hoarse, deep voice became low but gentle:
Xilǐ'er, you certainly didn't disappoint me.
"Now that you've reached the Middle Tier, I have a new task for you."
"I humbly obey His King of Domination's command."
"Spring has arrived outside. Take your private army and go to the Wilderness of Chaos to wipe out those damned beasts that are reviving."
"Yes, sir!"
