"Using the mechanism marked by the Starry Abyss Curse, when twins are born, only two children remain. Through spells and special magic potions, the entire talents and strength of the eldest son/daughter among the twins are transferred to his/her younger brother or sister."
"You may wonder, what's the point of this?"
"The point is: during the pregnancy, the mother will once again enter the Starry Abyss, use the mark of the curse, and the mechanism of sharing the curse along the same pathway to transfer all curses onto the eldest son, who is still in the embryonic stage and completely unconscious."
"The factors of curse, decay, and mutation, the interference of the Starry Abyss's strength, are utilized by mortal wisdom to be perfectly transferred onto the eldest son/daughter. Meanwhile, all blessings, complete talents, a healthy body, and all the love—all belong to his/her younger brother or sister."
Anweng pointed at Leoz, and said:
"Unfortunately, you are such a child."
"Your body is incapable of cultivating any pathway. Managing to cultivate even this small amount of Qi Energy is nothing short of a miracle. Perhaps it's because there's a trace of intense flame in your soul, which might be a blessing from some primordial soul, but it's only through this small spark, burning life, that you've cultivated it."
"Sadly, that force can only support you up to Mystic Kolon (15) level. That is her limit."
"Your body's Life Origin Force is depleted, your lifespan is lacking. As of now, you should be less than two years old, right? Do you feel your body grows particularly fast? If it does, then that's correct. If you continue to cultivate like this, you won't live to be 18; you'll burn to ashes before then."
"Think about it carefully, you should have such a brother or sister. His talents are far stronger than yours, hmm, and it appears to be a [Redemption] talent—surely became a famous physician early on. After all, that's two people's talents combined into one, the effect of which increases exponentially, and the later it goes, the more terrifying his talent growth becomes."
"In short."
Anweng, having said too much, was already exhausted. He crossed his arms, rested for a while before saying:
"If I were you, I would not consider accepting any more heritages and continue cultivating. Find a beautiful girl as a wife, have two ordinary chubby sons—just live a stable life."
"Your name is Leoz... isn't it?"
Anweng said with sympathy:
"Go back."
"Not only because you have no cultivation talents, your family's situation should be good. After all, to know the Life Sacrifice ceremony, and persist in drinking potions, and finally endure the pain of sacrificing a biological child, such a mother must be an iron-blooded, ruthless power duchess. In fact, I can unreservedly say:"
"You are an existence abandoned by the Starry Abyss, and also an existence abandoned by your mother."
"Leoz, you shouldn't exist in this world."
Snowflakes floated down gently from the sky, they made no sound when touching the ground.
Anweng slowly raised his head, noticing that the tomb had been breached by a huge pit at some undetermined time.
No sound, no trace.
It was as if a womanly figure, like a majestic and endless iron peak, stood silently before Leoz.
Silent, cold, chilling, unmoving.
"Isn't it going a bit too far to say such things?"
A leisurely and pleasant voice slowly sounded, the woman gently swayed her fan, completely shielding Leoz's petite form behind her.
Anweng slightly raised his head, a trace of mystery and surprise appeared through his helmet:
"You are—"
"See for yourself, look at what you've done to my lord, I've already had enough. So many runes affecting the mind are set around here, and without even stepping into the forest, they're constantly in effect. If one were truly to follow your advice and obediently undergo your legacy, they'd have long since been drained of their soul and their body possessed by you."
"How could you see through those things? Those are—"
"The specifications of this tomb aren't low, you must have called upon several demigod old friends for help, right?"
The woman said blandly:
"To one day soon enough absorb enough souls, possess a body, and make a comeback, exactly—after all, being still a legend of Feng Qing, you can communicate with the external world through the Border Abyss Will at any time, the idea isn't bad; but you didn't expect the energy leak to be this severe, did you."
"Ordinary people wouldn't be able to see through these things."
Anweng's tone was gloomy:
"Demigod? Or a guest of the Void? There's only Kappa in the aura, as well as the curse of the Layer Abyss—could it be someone from the narrative of Layer Abyss? Besides, with energy skewness, it shouldn't be visible to anyone below the demigod level."
The other gently shook Leoz's shoulder, rousing him from his daze, whispered a few words into his ear, then finally answered Anweng's question:
"Hmm? Perhaps, you didn't expect someone to specifically carry the Rock Ghost Phalanx, and also master Spikect's runes, did you? My lord is so vigorous and competent that you had to step out and communicate, trying to deceive with words, didn't you?"
"Deceive? How can it be called deception when it's consensual? It's merely a transaction."
"No, no, no, the purpose of a transaction is mutual need—you have a need, I have the goods, payment in one hand, delivery in the other, that is the free market. But if one uses the information gap, exploits risks and public opinion to hype goods for dumping or hoarding—that's disrupting market order."
The other merely raised a hand, placed it on Leoz's shoulder, turned her head slowly, and her dark gold eyes gradually took on a dazzling crystal hue:
"As for me... I'm just an unremarkable maid."
"Ignorant fool."
Anweng snorted, his aura changed, and in the next moment, his form swiftly became corporeal, and the momentum of a Sigma Order (18) demigod poured forth like an avalanche.
[Won't even pretend anymore, these old entities cursed into insanity are not quite right, surely.]
[Well, whatever.]
[After all, I'm not a good person either.]
The woman lightly shook her head, in her crystal dragon eyes flickered a sinister brilliance.
[Crystal Palace—]
"Rednaya, hold on."
Leoz suddenly said.
"Hmm?"
Rednaya was taken aback, turning her head to look at Leoz:
"Didn't I just tell you? Wait obediently until I've cleaned up, then I'll teach you a lesson about wandering off alone—"
"You foolish Earth woman!" Leoz growled low, "The fish are about to bite, and you snapped my fishing rod! If this continues, my trip here will be for nothing!"
"But—"
"Get out of the way!"
Leoz gripped the Rock Ghost Phalanx tightly, shoved Rednaya aside with a palm, and with his chest held high, strode towards the [Mysterious Rock Lord].
"—Tsk."
Rednaya blinked, her eyes reverted to dark gold, she pursed her lips, crossed her arms, and stood to the side, speaking irritably:
"Do whatever you want then—rarely do I show concern for you... fine, let me see how you intend to contend with a demigod."
