"That's the legendary Primogenitor's Altar …"
Beside Adil, someone exclaimed in shock as they looked at the rising purple altar in the distance.
"Primogenitor's Altar?"
Hearing this name, Adil was stunned. He seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but ask, "What's that?"
"We're not sure."
The Crassus looked at each other and shook their heads at Adil's question. "We've only heard of the legend of this thing. We've never seen the real Primogenitor's Altar."
But in the legends, apart from this seal, our ancestors also left behind an Primogenitor's Altar before they left.
Only the Crassus acknowledged by the Primogenitor's Altar are the true descendants of the Primogenitor.
"A true descendant that I have acknowledged …"
Hearing these familiar words, Adil muttered to himself.
Before, Herrados, who had transformed into the Lord of Calamity, had said something similar.
Bloodlines were hidden in the descendants' bodies, so they naturally had ancestors. In particular, some powerful lifeforms had their own Primogenitor.
However, to the Primogenitor, ordinary descendants were not acknowledged by them. Only those with bloodlines and potential could be considered their true descendants.
To the Elf Primogenitor, this standard was perhaps pure-blooded Elves.
Pure-Blooded Moon Elves like Adil could reach rank 4 as soon as they reached adulthood, so they were naturally acknowledged by the Elf Primogenitor.
The primogenitor of the Crassus shouldn't have had such harsh standards for his descendants. However, only those with a certain level of bloodline and potential would be acknowledged by the primogenitor to activate the Primogenitor's Altar.
Thinking to there, Adil turned around and looked at Yana's bosom.
At this moment, in her arms, there was a young baby sleeping quietly. The baby's skin looked very tender, and there was a purple glow to it.
Under the stimulation of the Primogenitor's Altar, a bloodline light blossomed on her body, and a complicated mark appeared and was slowly changing.
Adil observed for a while. The mark looked similar to the Crassus' emblem, but it was much more complicated. There was a unique power blossoming within, making Adil feel uneasy.
Silence walked up to the altar, and a mark also blossomed on Thor and Yana.
However, compared to Suo Lanna's, the marks that appeared on their bodies were too simple. The power contained within them was clearly much weaker.
Standing before the altar, they looked at each other and slowly walked to the bottom of the altar, placing Suo Lanna on it.
As Suo Lanna was placed on the altar, a unique ripple spread out. the statues nearby all lit up, activating the power within the World Stone.
It was as if a purple world had bloomed, and a grand ripple flickered, forcefully suppressing all the power in the surroundings.
In Adil's vision, the purple World Stone was glowing crazily. A kind of power was slowly descending and covering the altar.
At this moment, two palms reached out and pressed against the altar.
As if they had agreed on it, Thor and Yana walked onto the altar together, letting the altar's power cover them.
"This is …"
Seeing their actions, Adil silently looked up, as if he had thought of something. However, he didn't say anything and just watched silently.
As the altar revolved, the faces of the two people closest to the altar became paler and paler under the influence of some kind of power, as if something was being sucked out of them.
Standing in the distance, Adil could clearly see the situation in front of him.
There was a mechanism on the altar that not only could draw out the World Stone's power and pour it into Suo Lanna's body, but it could also extract the bloodline of nearby people, purify it, and send it all into Suo Lanna's body.
Because they were of the same bloodline, this method would not cause Suo Lanna's bloodline to clash. Instead, it would silently increase her potential.
Moreover, as her parents, Thor and Yana's bloodline was extremely compatible with her, so the effects were much better than others.
This way, with the World Stone's power as a foundation and the bloodline of the same race as her, Suo Lanna's talent and potential would definitely increase after this ceremony.
However, in this case, Saul and Yana, who were the targets of the Bloodline Extraction, would not have a good ending.
Thinking to there, Adil's expression was still calm. He just silently looked at the two of them.
As the ceremony slowly progressed, the bloodline light on their bodies started to dim. The power was absorbed by the altar and poured into Suo Lanna's body.
If they waited until the Bloodline Light on their bodies was completely extinguished, it would be the time of their deaths.
Maintaining his previous posture, Adil observed the changes in their bodies in Adil's Silence.
In front of Adil's eyes, Thor and Yana's appearances were gradually changing.
It was as if they had gone through decades in an instant. Their faces grew older, and very quickly, they turned from youths to old people.
His originally smooth skin began to darken, and wrinkles began to appear on his face. His black hair began to turn white, and his powerful arms began to wither. Only his pure eyes remained, and they still looked as sharp and pure as before.
During this process, they didn't seem to suffer much pain. Their eyes kept looking at Suo Lanna, who was lying on the altar in Silence. Seeing the light on her body slowly grow stronger, a trace of gratification flashed through their eyes.
"You can stop now." In the distance, Adil's voice suddenly sounded.
He looked at Thor and Yana, who had become old people, and the bloodline light on their bodies that was about to disappear. He couldn't help but say, "This is enough. Even if you continue, you won't be able to absorb much power."
"With my medicine, you can last for at least three more months."
Looking at the two in the distance in Silence, Adil said quietly.
However, the two didn't respond to his advice at all. Silence continued to lie there, not moving at all. It seemed like they didn't want to come down at all.
In other words, even if they wanted to come down, they wouldn't be able to do so now.
The altar in front of them had a powerful binding force that firmly bound Thor and Yana in front of it. They wouldn't stop until the ceremony was over.
Since Adil couldn't get close to the altar, it was almost impossible for Thor and Yana to break free with their strength.
Time slowly passed.
When the light from the ceremony gradually faded, Thor seemed to sense something. He slowly raised his head and turned with some difficulty, looking at Adil in the distance.
Their gazes met, as if their lives were about to come to an end. Adil could feel that in Thor's heart, a pure emotion was rising.
At this moment, many scenes silently appeared in Adil's heart.
From when they first met, to when he helped Thor beat back that black-clothed monster, to when they came here …
With his powerful memory, all of these scenes became incredibly vivid, as if they had just happened yesterday.
As time passed, they just looked at each other like this, until the faint purple light on Thor's body completely disappeared.
"It's almost time …"
Silently looking at Adil in the distance, looking at that familiar figure, Thor thought to himself.
Perhaps because it was his own choice, at this moment, he didn't feel any fear or pain. He just looked at Adil's reassuring figure and felt a bit of regret.
"It's a pity … even in the end, I still won't be able to repay you."
His deep gaze moved from Adil to Yana, and then to Suo Lanna, and he didn't move.
In the next moment, his entire body started to fade, turning into dust and dissipating.
A wave of dust started to fill the entire hall.
The purple light started to dim, and the Sorcerer Formation that had been operating gradually stopped, ending the ceremony.
A trembling, withered arm picked up Suo Lanna from the altar, and then, with trembling steps, slowly walked out.
It was Yana. She had become extremely old, as if she had used up all of her lifespan in an instant.
Just like Thor, the bloodline light on her body had completely dimmed, and should have disappeared just like Thor.
However, on her forehead, the bloodline mark that Adil had left behind was still there. Right now, it was the last bit of strength that kept her alive, so she still had the strength to carry Suo Lanna and walk over to Adil with shaky steps.
She slowly walked over to Adil, and then handed over the baby in her arms, placing it in front of Adil.
Looking at the child in front of him, Adil fell silent for a moment before reaching out to take him. His gaze then fell on Yana.
With her bloodline extracted, Yana was almost at the end of her rope. No matter if it was her life force or spiritual force, she was completely drained. Right now, she was only relying on the bloodline mark and her tenacious spiritual force to keep herself from collapsing.
Facing a situation like this, even Adil could not save her.
He could create medicines that could extend one's lifespan, but he could not do anything about spiritual force, or even spiritual force, being drained.
There were too many things at this level, and unless one was a Rank 4 Sorcerer, there was nothing they could do.
As such, he did not say anything. He just took Suo Lanna from Yana's hands, and then looked at her in Silence.
Under his gaze, Yana's expression was calm, and she did not speak. However, her eyes were still on Suo Lanna in Adil's arms, and there was some reluctance in her eyes.
In the next moment, the light from the bloodline mark on her forehead completely disappeared, and under Adil's gaze, it completely disappeared.
Just like Saul before, her figure began to fade, turning into smoke and dust that filled the entire hall with a gentle breeze.
"It's over …"
Looking at this scene in Silence, Adil turned and looked at the child in his arms as he sighed.
Everything in front of him started to fade. After appearing, Heraldos had once again been suppressed by the Sorcerer Formation's power, and he could not appear for now.
For the sake of their child, Thor and Yana were willing to sacrifice their last moments and let the altar extract their bloodlines.
In the end, only Adil was left on this journey.
Thinking to this point, he looked behind him. There, the others were still standing, and when they saw the scene before them, they were also somewhat silent.
"Let's go."
Looking at the people in front of him, Adil shook his head and said to them.
Hearing Adil's words, the others did not have any objections, and they started to slowly walk out.
When they reached the village, perhaps because of Adil's prestige, the horses and carriages they had left behind were still there, and they had not been taken away by the natives.
"I can help you suppress your curses, but the price is that your lifespans might be reduced."
Outside, looking at the silent people and Suo Lanna in his arms, Adil said, "If you don't mind, you can follow me in the future."
These people were from Thor's clan, and they also had curses on them. It was just that they were not as deep as Yana's, and to Adil, if he was willing, he could get rid of them.
It was just that the sealing process was quite troublesome. Not only did it take a lot of time and effort, but it also required some precious materials. It was not worth it to use them on people he did not know.
However, now that he had seen Thor and Yana die in front of him, he could not help but sigh.
