Chapter 761
Under the drive of loneliness, Cain used animal viscera and his own blood to create the second generation of vampires, which is believed to consist of five individuals. There are few historical records about the second-generation vampires, and I don’t know much either. Only that the second-generation vampires bred their own 13 descendants, the most powerful third generation in vampires. They became the main leaders of several generations of vampires afterwards. They established their own clans, and as a result, the thirteen clans were born. These 13 leaders discovered that the blood of the vampire clan could grant immortality to mortals and widely embraced them to enhance their own and their clan’s power. Thus, they began the legacy of the wicked bloodline of vampires.
Those thirteen leaders eventually turned against each other, waging continuous wars and indiscriminately spreading their bloodline. The victims of the war were mostly ordinary people. Following this, a colossal flood occurred in the world, changing the heavens and earth with mountains and rivers reversed. The former oceans turned into mountains on the land, while the former continents buried deep underneath the sea. The thirteen leaders suffered heavy losses from that flood and went into hibernation one after another.
Our Atlantis Empire fell into the sea bottom more than 20,000 meters deep during that flood. Since then, only those who could adapt to life at the bottom of the sea survived and continually evolved to become sea dwellers.
The reason I tell you all this is to let you know that among us sea dwellers, there are also many descendants of the thirteen clans. That same flood which obliterated our Atlantis Empire, ironically, only a few ordinary people could survive while those embraced by vampires became the exceptional ones that could live at the bottom of the sea. Isn’t such survival of the fittest cruel?”
Ye Junqing said nothing; indeed, it was cruel. Ordinary people died in the flood while those embraced by the thirteen clans became survivors living at the bottom of the sea. Survival of the fittest, how tragic is that?noveldrama
Ye Junqing squinted his eyes: “So all the people of the Atlantis Empire are vampires?”
Sweat covered Leng Chenmo’s back. If that were the case, wasn’t Shen Mo sent into the vampire’s lair? Leng Chenmo was now worried about Shen Mo’s safety!
Bai Xiao hadn’t finished yet: “The ancestors of our Atlantis Empire who were able to survive at the bottom of the sea were indeed mostly fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, or eighth-generation vampires. There was also a small part of ordinary people with good physical conditions that could adapt to life at the bottom of the sea, becoming another part of the sea dwellers. The proportion of people was roughly 3:1.”
Leng Chenmo said: “So, among the first sea dwellers of Atlantis, out of every four people, three were vampires, and only one was an ordinary resident?”
Bai Xiao nodded: “Yes, that is almost the ratio. However, vampire embracing has a characteristic: each generation gets weaker. With the passage of time, the vampire bloodline in the bodies of the people of the empire has gradually faded. It has diluted to the extent that they can’t obtain eternal life like the third and fourth generations, nor can they gain superior abilities like the fifth to the eighth generations. They can’t even live for more than a hundred years like the fifteenth and sixteenth generations… It has basically diluted to the same level as ordinary humans, it’s quite useless.”
