Chapter 503: Offspring is a Very Serious Issue
Chapter 503: Chapter 503: Offspring is a Very Serious IssueFeng Xue maintained the highest level of attention to the incident of the lost [beep—] fluid samples, even setting aside the thriving Heavenly Court.
It wasn’t that he was overly startled; rather, inheriting lineages for Kaidan could indeed be quite troublesome.
If it were born out of his own subjective operation, it would naturally be safe, but the issue was that those things might be used by someone for some unknown purpose.
Not to mention, his own Kaidan also came with such hidden dangers.
Kaidan itself shares considerable commonalities with gods from myths and legends, and the motif of offspring killing their parents is all too common across various mythological systems.
Greek mythology is rife with patricidal genes, while Norse mythology doesn’t feature the killing of fathers, the offspring are all monsters, and even in the mythologies of the Eastern System, being a father is a high-risk job. Though not killed by sons, any father with a powerful son is bound to meet an unsavory fate.
Not to mention the folk legends, where even King Arthur couldn’t escape a filial confrontation at swordpoint.
However, compared to these Kaidan, Feng Xue is of much greater significance because he holds the authority of the "Meme Power" of Masked Rider.
And "fatherly love and filial piety" is an age-old tradition inherited throughout the Masked Rider series.
In other words, for Feng Xue, the risk posed by rebellious offspring was fifty times higher than that of ordinary mythical Kaidan!
Taking a deep breath, Feng Xue steadied his mind and said,
"So you’re saying we have no leads at all now?"
"We do have leads, quite a few in fact, but at the end of the day, even if we knew, it wouldn’t help because the thing is just too small. You can’t be sure if what you’re retrieving is genuine, and no one knows where it might be sent for re
"Got it."
...
By canceling the "contract" to end the Descent, Feng Xue returned to the Divine Enthronement world, but at this point, she no longer had the will to continue her efforts in that world. After issuing a series of orders to the Heavenly Court, she immediately returned to Infinite City through the door in Jizhou.
Without pausing in her own study, Feng Xue pushed open the front door and went to find Miss Ke of the Ke family.
There was no choice, talking about handling offspring, the Ke lineage was definitely the most useful tool. Even if it wasn’t about tracing bloodlines, just casting a Bloodline Curse and polluting the entire bloodline would be tantamount to rendering that batch of samples useless. After a while, once the curse was lifted, everything would be safe and sound.
However, the problem was...
"Knock, knock, knock; knock, knock, knock..."
After repeatedly knocking for a long time, Miss Ke’s door still showed no signs of opening, which undoubtedly meant that she was probably off enjoying herself in some other world.
"Stop knocking, the newbie is on her first traversal, how could she be back so soon?" Cain, appearing to be like an old man taking a leisurely stroll, never went out spreading faith, just wandering around Infinite City. Seeing Feng Xue knocking at Miss Ke’s door, he immediately came over to say.
Hearing this, all Feng Xue could do was spread her hands and say:
"No choice, do you know any friends who are good at casting curses? Ones capable of directly polluting bloodlines."
"Uh... Did your bloodline get out?" Cain bluntly pointed out Feng Xue’s problem which surprised her slightly.
Seeing her unexpected expression, Cain calmly said:
"What’s so strange about it? A few years back, a minor deity from a Divine System was resurrected and went around asking people for bloodline curse techniques, just to snuff out his deadbeat son, not knowing whether he was resurrected or not, and nip the problem in the bud. After all, in mythology, sons killing their fathers is a tradition. Your request is not that unusual."
"So, is there a solution?" Feng Xue brightened up on hearing it wasn’t unusual. There must be a standard procedure whenever there is a demand for such a thing.
"The solution is that there is no solution," Cain spread his hands, his face a picture of helplessness:
"If it was a mortal, that would be another story, but for someone like you, who already has ’godly’ features, it’s way too easy to produce offspring. I’m not even talking about genetic material, some people could carelessly leave a footprint and someone stepping in it might get pregnant, making it impossible to trace.
"Moreover, the trouble is that even if someone does have this curse ability, they wouldn’t make this deal with you, because curses themselves are a dangerous business for both parties involved. If the other person is weaker than you, cursing you is essentially suicide. Even if you dropped your defenses, how could they trust you? Conversely, if they are stronger than you, would you dare let them curse at will?"
