The absorption and digestion of one's bloodline source was closely related to one's own strength.
Ordinarily speaking, the more powerful one was, the more robust one's bloodline source would be, and the faster one would be able to absorb and digest other bloodlines.
Of course, even though it was faster, the side effects were still the same.
As the bloodline source source was absorbed and devoured, Chen Heng opened his eyes.
Within his mind, all sorts of fragmented memories rushed into the depths of his mind.
Those bloody scenes, as well as the mating and squirming scenes of the mermen, flashed across his mind.
For ordinary people, this was a huge blow. If one's willpower was not strong enough, they might just collapse because of this.
However, this was not bad for Chen Heng.
After all, he was someone who had experienced this many times, and after the test of willpower from the hero's trial, he did not feel that this test was too difficult.
Time gradually passed, and after a while, he managed to calm down.
As he devoured the Fishmen's bloodline, his body started to go through changes.
Some parts of his body started to itch, as if new changes were about to occur.
Chen Heng shook his head.
A wave of dizziness washed over his mind.
After devouring, his mind was once again tainted by some impurities, and it was no longer pure.
However, Chen Heng had long since prepared a response.
Pure silver-white Moon God Power flowed out and started to cleanse Chen Heng's body, affecting his mind and slowly cleansing the impurities in his mind.
At the same time, a massive amount of faith energy turned into pure white holy light that covered his body, instantly calming his mind.
The impurities that filled his mind immediately disappeared.
Sensing this, a trace of understanding flashed in Chen Heng's mind.
As expected.
The power of faith had a great effect on the corruption of one's mind.
This was just like how Chen Heng had purified Ariel and the others, allowing them to regain their rationality from the Heart-Devouring Demon.
The power of faith could also purify the contamination of one's spirit.
This way, the side effects of the Heaven Devouring Scripture seemed to be a bit smaller.
In the past, Moon God Power could also suppress the side effects of the Devouring bloodline, but the effects were not as good as the cleansing from faith energy.
Now, it seemed that as long as Chen Heng paid attention to the number of times he used it, he would be able to use the Heaven Devouring Scripture without worry.
That was good news.
Chen Heng silently got up and took care of the Merfolk corpses before turning and leaving this place.
More than a month passed slowly.
Apart from that attack by the Merfolk, the rest of the time, Chen Heng's ship had been quite peaceful and had not encountered any accidents.
After traveling for more than a month, Chen Heng finally reached his destination.
Duo Lan area.
This was where Chen Heng's body was born, and it could be said to be his home.
A few years ago, Chen Heng had stayed here for a while and had even taken in a few students.
After returning to this region, Chen Heng brought Ariel and the others and headed towards the Doyle family.
Not long after, he returned to the Doyle Family's base.
After a few years, the Doyle family's base did not seem to have changed much, and many places had not changed.
However, although the encampment did not change, the people inside had changed a lot.
Chen Heng's body's grandfather, Griffin, had passed away.
Back then, Griffin had fallen into a coma because of a failed experiment, and it was Chen Heng who had used his Moon God Power to slowly heal him.
However, Chen Heng's actions had only temporarily healed his mental problems and had not changed his lifespan much.
As such, two years ago, Griffin had passed away and left this world.
Hearing this, Chen Heng could not help but fall silent.
In actuality, Griffin was not a good person, and from what he had done in the past, he could be considered an evil person.
However, no matter what, Griffin was Chen Heng's body's grandfather, and he was one of the people who had treated him the best.
His departure made Chen Heng feel quite moved.
Apart from Griffin, there were still others in the Doyle family.
The four students that Chen Heng had taken in back then were also in the Doyle family, and they had all become First Rank Apprentices. The most outstanding one was not too far away from becoming a Second Rank Apprentice.
They were all very happy about Chen Heng's return.
In actuality, after Chen Heng had gone to the Hemu region and disappeared, the entire Doyle family had been supported by Griffin.
After Griffin died, even though the situation in the surroundings had not changed, the surrounding Sorcerer families guessed that Chen Heng might return, which was why they did not act.
However, because Chen Heng had not returned for a long time, the surrounding Sorcerer families' attitudes towards him had changed slightly.
If Chen Heng did not return in a few years, the Doyle family's situation would be quite dire.
For the Doyle family, Chen Heng's return was good.
After returning to the Doyle family and calming down the emotions of his family members and students, Chen Heng started to act.
In the following few months, the Hunter's House's power went all out, destroying all of the surrounding factions.
All of the Sorcerer families and mortal kingdoms were destroyed under the combined efforts of a few true Sorcerers. Just like in the Faith World, they were fused together.
Following this, a new academy was established.
As the Dean of the academy, Chen Heng took in some of the Sorcerer families who were willing to join the academy and started to recruit Apprentices.
He took out his achievements in the Faith World, which could be used to test a large number of Sorcerer talent, and gave them out.
From now on, the new academy's Apprentices would no longer be from Sorcerer families to ordinary people.
Under the examination stone slabs, a large number of new Apprentices were chosen and entered the newly established Dawn Academy.
Dawn Academy was the name of the academy that Chen Heng had established. Its full name was Dawn Sorcerer Academy, and it was mainly used to recruit Sorcerer Apprentices.
Chen Heng expected that when the conditions were right, he would open a Dawn Knight Academy to teach Knights.
Compared to Sorcerers, Knights were a path that could not be underestimated.
Knight Apprentices who grasped Life Energy were roughly equivalent to First Rank Apprentices.
True Knights who had awakened Life Seeds were roughly equivalent to Second Rank Apprentices.
As for Great Knights, they were roughly equivalent to Third Rank Apprentices.
Moreover, because of the nature of Knights and the power of their Life Seeds, under the same circumstances, Knights were much more powerful than Apprentices.
Even though there were no Knights who could compare to true Sorcerers because of the lack of legacies, just being Great Knights was already quite good.
This power could not be ignored, and it played a large role in Chen Heng's future plans.
Time gradually passed.
Soon, another ten years had passed.
During these ten years, the Hemu region was still embroiled in chaos.
Mogow Academy, Heart-Devouring Demon … Various factions fought in the Hemu region, and there were many conflicts.
The newly established Dawn Academy continuously developed in the Dolan region, and it even took in Apprentices who had escaped from the Hemu region to nurture its own power.
Just like that, new Apprentices were continuously nurtured.
In just ten years, there were hundreds of Apprentices who came out of Dawn Academy.
These Apprentices would become seeds to teach even more Apprentices and develop even more power.
Within the Faith World, the world continued to develop.
With the cooperation of a few official Sorcerers, new types of crops were constantly being cultivated. Using magic power as a stimulus, the varieties that were constantly hybridized and selected could grow in all kinds of harsh conditions, and there were good varieties with high yields.
With these things, the production of land increased, and the population started to increase.
Some children who were of a suitable age were gathered and sent to the Dawn Sorcerer Academy to learn Sorcerer courses.
These were the first batch of Sorcerers in the Faith World.
In the future, these Sorcerers would spread the seeds of Sorcerer.
As they continued to multiply and form families, the Sorcerer bloodline would also spread. In the end, people with better talent would continuously appear in the Dawn Sorcerer Academy.
However, all of this needed time to develop.
In the 15th year of Dawn Academy, Chen Heng brought Ariel and the others back to the Hemu region.
After 15 years of development, the current Dawn Academy's strength was far stronger than in the past.
As for true Sorcerers, he had recruited many Sorcerers from the Hemu region, and there were now eight of them.
As for Apprentices, there were even more.
With cheap and convenient testing methods, there were many Apprentices.
15 years was enough for these Apprentices to grow.
It could be said that Dawn Academy now had the confidence to devour other factions and take over those resource areas.
As such, Chen Heng officially declared war.
Another three years passed.
During these three years, Dawn Academy conquered many regions in the Hemu region. Many Sorcerers who had been controlled by the Heart-Devouring Demon were saved and joined Dawn Academy's faction.
Within three years, Mogow Academy and the Heart-Devouring Demon were all destroyed.
The Heart-Devouring Demon had fought with Dawn Academy's Dean Ed Doyle, and in the end, it had been nailed to a cliff, and it had been taken back to the Hunter's House as a precious trophy.
The Hemu region had been unified!
As all of this happened, the battles that had lasted for ten or so years finally came to an end.
As the old era ended, a new era arrived.
The Dawn Empire was established and appeared in the Hemu region.
According to the records of the Hemu region, this was the first time that the Hemu region had been unified by a faction, and it was the first time that all Sorcerers had gathered under a single faction.
All people and Sorcerers belonged to the Dawn Empire, and all other human Sorcerers were enemies.
Of course, by now, apart from some races like the Merfolk, there were almost no human Sorcerers who did not submit to the Dawn Empire.
From the extreme north of the Hemu region to the islands in the south, all human Sorcerers were united under a single flag.
The Dawn Empire's strength had reached an unprecedented level.
According to Ariel and the others' calculations, within the newly established Dawn Empire, there were at least 20 true Sorcerers. Most of them were Sorcerers who had been saved from the Heart-Devouring Demon.
In the past, these Sorcerers had been controlled by the Heart-Devouring Demon's power. As such, after being saved by Chen Heng, they naturally joined the Dawn Empire and became part of it.
After the Dawn Empire was established, Dawn Sorcerer Academy became the only recognized official Sorcerer Academy.
All of the other Sorcerer Academies and Factions had disappeared.
Of course, as time passed and the number of Sorcerer Apprentices increased, Chen Heng began to consider opening other academies.
However, with the current number of Sorcerers, just a single Sorcerer Academy was enough to accommodate all of the Sorcerers. There was no need to set up a few more academies.
Time gradually passed.
Soon, another 30 years had passed.
In the Dawn Calendar Year 30, the Dawn Empire, which had unified the entire Hemu region, was quickly developing.
During this period of time, many Sorcerers were discovered and sent to Dawn Sorcerer Academy.
These Sorcerers were discovered from ordinary people, and their talent was not very high. Most of them only had Level 1 talent, and some of the better ones only had Level 2 talent.
Level 2 talent was the limit for ordinary people.
Ordinarily speaking, if there were no Sorcerer Academies, even if they had Sorcerer talent, they would only have Level 2 talent.
Level 3 aptitude and above could only appear if one possessed the bloodline of a Sorcerer.
This was also the reason why the Sorcerer Academies preferred to select apprentices from Sorcerer families in the past. On one hand, it was convenient, and on the other hand, it was because apprentices from Sorcerer families were generally more outstanding and had better qualities in all aspects.
An acolyte from an ordinary family would be much worse off.
However, this did not matter.
As these Sorcerers became Sorcerers, their descendants would also have Sorcerer descendants. With Sorcerer's bloodline, their talent would gradually become better.
After a few generations, there would be a large number of talented Sorcerers appearing in this region.
Chen Heng was quite patient about this.
In order to encourage Sorcerers to have more children, the Dawn Empire made a series of policies to encourage Sorcerers to have more children.
Those who could have more children would not only receive many benefits, but they would also be promoted first.
As such, the Dawn Empire encouraged Sorcerers to have more children.
While continuously developing, the Dawn Empire also started to explore the outside world.
In the Dawn Calendar Year 50, the Dawn Empire and the Merfolk went to war.
After 50 years, the Dawn Empire's strength had greatly increased, and the number of true Sorcerers had more than doubled.
Some of these true Sorcerers were Third Rank Apprentices, while others were geniuses from the new generation.
However, after adopting a new method of nurturing, these new Sorcerers used the safest and most scientific method to raise their battle power while minimizing the risks.
As such, even though they were new Sorcerers, their battle power was not weak at all.
Compared to them, the Merfolk did not have as many Sorcerers, but they had their own unique strengths.
After all, they were the Merfolk and naturally lived in the ocean, so they had the advantage.
Compared to them, the Human Sorcerers were at a disadvantage.
The battle gradually unfolded.
This battle lasted for another ten years.
Only in the Dawn Calendar Year 60 did the ten-year war come to a stop.
When the Merfolk Royal Court was destroyed, the Merfolk Tribes finally announced their surrender.
The royal family led the remaining Merfolk away from the current Merfolk and moved further away.
This declared the Dawn Empire's complete victory.
Time continued to pass.
In the Dawn Calendar Year 65, Chen Heng, who had stayed in Dawn City for a long time, finally set out. The group came to a place.
"Is this the place?"
A silver forest stood in front of them. A hazy radiance flickered, giving off an extremely beautiful vibe.
Beautiful, tranquil, ancient …
All sorts of unique things could be seen here, and the moment one saw this forest, they could not help but feel calm and comfortable.
"Mogaoyuan …"
Looking at the silver forest, Chen Heng muttered to himself.
The Mogaoyuan was a special place in the Hemu region.
It was the last Elf tribe in the Hemu region, and it was where they lived in seclusion.
The silver forest was a silver tree unique to the Elves. It was a unique magic plant and the symbol of the Elves.
There were not many other places, but there was a large pile here.
"Your Majesty, do you need me to go and notify them?"
The local Governor was a true Sorcerer, and hearing that Chen Heng was coming, he could not help but feel quite afraid as he said, "I have some relations with those Elves and have done a few transactions in the past."
"There's no need."
Chen Heng shook his head as he said, "They're already here."
Hearing this, the people in front of him felt quite startled and instinctively looked into the distance.
From there, a few figures slowly walked over.
Those figures were somewhat similar to ordinary humans, but their appearances were generally more handsome. They were thin, and their eyes were deep black.
They wore simple leather armor and strode over from afar.
