Chapter 109: My Bloodline Cannot Be Damaged

Chapter 109: My Bloodline Cannot Be Damaged

No matter how much Lei Yaotian sighed, he could not change the fact. Although he now sat on a treasure mountain, he could not yet obtain the treasure, and could only endure for now.

“Luckily, there is still that energy source bringing me billions of Credit points every day, just enough to pay Bruce for the instruments and equipment purchased for building the Heavy Warship factory, otherwise I would have to sell ‘Sweet Potato’.” At this moment, the ‘sun’ was about to set, and the remaining light sprinkled on the lake surface, reflecting scattered golden glimmers. The fiery clouds at the horizon were so stunning they were intoxicating.

“Hmph, as long as I can endure for one year, I will become incredibly rich by then. With trillions of Credit points coming in every ten days, I could buy anything I want.”

Thinking about the profits that would come once he successfully cultivated Sweet Potato on this planet, Lei Yaotian could not help but grin foolishly.

“Young Master～”

Just as Lei Yaotian was daydreaming, Monica and Elder Mensa had finished their tasks and returned.

Monica called out softly, snapping Lei Yaotian out of his reverie.

“Is everything taken care of?”

“Yes, everything is taken care of. Elder Mensa explained it very clearly to the Ikto Race clansmen. The Ikto Race did not object and even supported it. They all readily pricked their fingers and pressed their blood prints.”

Monica reported.

Lei Yaotian nodded and shifted his gaze from Monica to Elder Mensa.

“I and this old man just have what we need from each other. They need revenge, and I need him to help me get a legal identity. But thinking about it, it seems like I am at a disadvantage, after all, the targets of revenge are so many civilized beings.”

Lei Yaotian curled his lip and thought.

But then he remembered that because of this, Elder Mensa’s branch of the Ikto Race, including their descendants, would have to serve as his ‘underlings’ for generations. At that thought, Lei Yaotian’s mood improved again.

“Teacher Mensa, since we have all signed the Contract, I think you can tell me now, what method will you use to make me a citizen of the ‘Divine Glory Empire’? Could it be that I just go to the Divine Glory Empire like this and tell their civil official, ‘Hey, I want to become your citizen, please process my documents?’ And that’s it?”

Lei Yaotian stood up, led Elder Mensa back to the sofa to sit down, and immediately asked about this issue.

“Hehe,” Elder Mensa chuckled, rubbed his three-fingered hand on the sofa armrest, and then said to Lei Yaotian, “Actually, it’s not that troublesome. In my plan, I want to give Young Master you a slightly higher starting point, so you won’t have to climb up from the bottom.”

Lei Yaotian made a sound of interest and showed a very interested expression. “Explain more clearly.”

“This is the situation.” Seeing that Lei Yaotian was very interested, Elder Mensa did not hold back anymore. After all, they had all signed the Contract with each other, and from this moment on, the Ikto Race, including Mensa himself, had become ‘underlings.’ So Mensa quickly adapted to his new role.

“Many years ago, I had a friend from the ‘Divine Glory Empire.’ We got along very well. In ‘human’ terms, we were very close. At that time, that friend was already very old, but he still fell in love with a woman from the ‘Norton’ civilization. After his earnest pursuit, my friend and that woman got together.”

Lei Yaotian listened in confusion, thinking, “What does this have to do with me?” But Elder Mensa seemed not finished yet, so Lei Yaotian could only patiently continue listening.

“My friend was an adventurous fellow. He longed to pilot a Warship freely across the Universe, exploring various annihilated civilization sites. So not long after he married that lady, they went together to explore a mysterious Star Sector. But the outcome was rather tragic, because they encountered space pirates.”

At this point, Elder Mensa’s expression became pained, as if recalling his old friend’s ordeal, and these memories reawakened his painful recollections.

“When I received his distress signal, I immediately took my merchant convoy guards and rushed to the scene in a Warship. But in the end, I was too late. The space pirates had already looted my friend’s Warship and killed everyone aboard. By the time I arrived, my old friend was already on the verge of death. His final request was for me to bring his remains back to the Divine Glory Empire, so he could return to his homeland.”

After saying this, Mensa took out from his chest a gold-edged cross badge with a ruby, and a round metal device.

“This badge is my friend’s family emblem. It seems he was even a Noble with a Baronet title in the Divine Glory Empire. It’s just that back then, his family had declined, and with few members and his dislike for social climbing, he ended up wandering in the Universe. Moreover, at that time, his family had no other relatives. Now that he is dead, I think you can take his descendant’s place, using their family member’s identity to enter the Divine Glory Empire and become a citizen.”

Elder Mensa’s idea was good, but Lei Yaotian felt there were still many difficulties in carrying it out.

“Teacher, first of all, if the Empire checks Genes, I think I will definitely give myself away. And look at my appearance—what part of me resembles your friend’s descendant?” Lei Yaotian pointed at the golden crystal on his forehead. “I don’t think people in the Divine Glory Empire have this thing, right?”

These were just the two main flaws; if counted carefully, there might be more.

But these two flaws were already very telling, so Lei Yaotian wanted to see what Elder Mensa had to say about this.

“Hahaha,” Elder Mensa laughed heartily upon hearing Lei Yaotian’s concerns. “Young Master, do you know what coincidence means?”

Lei Yaotian shook his head, not understanding.

“Bzzzz～～～～”

Elder Mensa placed the round metal object in his hand on the ground and pressed a hidden button. Then, a three-dimensional image appeared before Lei Yaotian and Mensa.

In the image, an elderly man with graying hair, dressed in noble attire similar to seventeenth-century France from Lei Yaotian’s original World, lay pale and dying, giving his last words.

“I, Baronet Leipengte, came with my wife to explore the Gor Star Sector, but unfortunately encountered space pirates. Sadly, everyone on our Warship was brutally killed, and I, too, am about to perish. I leave this last message, hoping my friend Mensa can bring my remains and my child back to my homeland, so my child can inherit my title…”

The scene shifted, and a child with a golden crystal embedded in his forehead appeared in the image.

This Baronet Leipengte rambled on for a while longer, then collapsed into Mensa’s arms.

In the image, Baronet Leipengte also appointed Elder Mensa as the child’s guardian.

“What happened to that child?”

Lei Yaotian asked.

Elder Mensa sighed and said, “At the time, it wasn’t discovered, but that child was already dead. There was a tiny hole in the back of his head, probably from being hit by the space pirates’ laser weapons. Leipengte didn’t realize it either at the time; I only found out later.”

“Why did that child also have a crystal on his forehead?” Lei Yaotian was curious about this.

“That’s not strange; this child had both Norton and Divine Glory bloodlines.” Elder Mensa said. “Didn’t I mention earlier? This Leipengte married a Norton woman, and all Norton people have such a crystal on their foreheads.”

“Norton people?”

Lei Yaotian smacked his lips. “Teacher, if members of this child’s maternal family come looking, do you think it could cause trouble for me?”

Elder Mensa shook his head and said, “That’s impossible. Last year, the Norton people went to war with the Zentraedi. The Norton people have been wiped out, so what you’re worried about cannot happen.”

Huh! Wiped out!

Lei Yaotian never imagined a civilization could be destroyed just like that.

But then he thought, this is the Great Cosmic Era after all. So with that in mind, Lei Yaotian was not so shocked anymore.

“Alright, even if the issue of the crystal on my forehead can be solved, I don’t have the Baronet’s bloodline. If they check Genes, I think I’ll definitely be exposed. How do we solve this problem?”

Elder Mensa took out a bottle of blood-red liquid from his robe pocket with his three fingers.

“This is Baronet Leipengte’s blood. As long as we find a way for you to Fuse with this bottle of blood, then wouldn’t you have Baronet Leipengte’s Genes?”

“No!”

Lei Yaotian sprang up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

He was extremely resistant to the idea of Fusing with Leipengte’s blood.

The blood flowing in his veins was given to him by his parents. This bloodline must not be changed, no matter the reason.

If he Fused with Baronet Leipengte’s blood, it would inevitably damage the original bloodline within him.

At this thought, Lei Yaotian became very agitated.

Seeing Lei Yaotian so suddenly agitated, Elder Mensa was stunned. He opened his mouth but for a moment didn’t know what to say. And because Lei Yaotian was too agitated, his entire small face turned bright red.

I cannot Fuse with Leipengte’s blood; I must preserve the purity of my bloodline. This was given to me by my parents. Even though I can never see them again, I will pass on my bloodline…

Lei Yaotian muttered to himself, his words very chaotic; even he might not know what he was saying now.

But Elder Mensa grasped a bit of the meaning—essentially, Lei Yaotian did not want to compromise the purity of his own bloodline.

“It seems Young Master values his bloodline greatly, perhaps to remember his parents.” Mensa thought of this and understood Lei Yaotian’s feelings. But without Fusing Leipengte’s blood, how could he gain the Empire’s recognition?

Elder Mensa found himself in a dilemma.

At that moment, “Young Master, it’s actually not that troublesome, you know.” Monica, who had been quietly standing by Lei Yaotian’s side, suddenly spoke up.
