Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 1264  The Cursed One Title (Part 2)

Anastasia listened to Evan's words, a frown on her face. However, after a few seconds, the frown disappeared, and she returned to her usual demeanour.

"It's unclear whether that individual is the Progenitor of the Elves or not, but just in case, let's avoid going to the Primordial Shadow Realm for the time being," She said calmly. "As for how to deal with him, we will have to make a detailed plan about it."

Evan nodded at her suggestion, as he was thinking along the same lines. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

At the same time, a thought crossed his mind, and he decided to ask.

"By the way, from the way you spoke earlier, it seems like you have a general understanding of the Origin Universe, the Primordials, and the other Progenitors. Am I correct?"

Hearing his question, Anastasia nodded.

"I do have a general understanding of these things due to the information contained in my bloodline," She replied.

"Bloodline..." Evan raised an eyebrow at her mention of it, but then he quickly remembered that the bloodlines of species such as Dragons, Phoenixes, and other high-level monsters often carried information tied to their lineage and power level.

For instance, an offspring born from a Rank Five Fire Dragon would inherit its bloodline. Depending on the purity of the bloodline, the offspring would also gain many insights from the Rank Five Fire Dragon.

If the bloodline's purity is one hundred percent, there is a very high chance that with effort, the offspring can also reach Rank Five without significant difficulty.

This is because the bloodline will contain all the knowledge passed down by the Rank Five Fire Dragon, including its understanding of the conceptual energy of fire and law seal that can significantly help the offspring.

Of course, if a monster doesn't inherit a pure bloodline, it doesn't mean they can't reach a high level. In such cases, the monsters can't rely on their bloodline but have to work hard like normal Core Evolvers to increase their strength.

Anastasia was the Progenitor of the Shadow Dragons, a fact Evan had never questioned before. Now that she had brought it up, however, he found himself curious.

Since she is the Progenitor of the Shadow Dragons, does that mean there are other Progenitors among the Dragons?

For instance, a Progenitor of the Void Dragons, a Progenitor of the Fire Dragons, and so on?

It is well known that there are hundreds of different types of Dragons. If each type has its own Progenitor, doesn't that mean there are hundreds of Progenitors within the Dragon Race alone?

And if this is the case for Dragons, what about other races? The Demon Race, for instance, has hundreds of different types of demons.

Does that mean, in addition to Lesenetra—whom he had encountered in the Blood Dungeon—there are other Demon Progenitors as well?

The more Evan thought about this possibility, the more startled he became as he had always assumed that Progenitors, like the Primordials, were extremely rare.

But if his thoughts were correct, then Progenitors might be as common as vegetable sellers in a crowded market.

When Anastasia noticed Evan's doubts, she shook her head and began to explain.

"It's not like that. For each species, there can only be one Progenitor, regardless of their type. For example, my race is Dragon, which means that aside from me, there are no other Progenitors within the Dragon Race—not even in the Origin Universe. Only after my death could a new Progenitor be born among the Dragons."

Evan raised an eyebrow at her explanation, though another question formed in his mind.

"If there can only be one Progenitor in a race, then why is your title the Progenitor of the Shadow Dragons instead of the Progenitor of the Dragons?"

Anastasia smiled lightly at his question and replied, "That's because I am not the first Progenitor of the Dragon Race."

"Not the first Progenitor…" Evan's confusion deepened. "What do you mean?"

Anastasia took a moment to organize her thoughts before she began to explain.

"The first Dragon born among the Dragon Race was given the title of Progenitor of the Dragons. However, according to the information contained in my bloodline, the first Progenitor of the Dragons fell during a war between the Primordials. After his death, there was no Progenitor in the Dragon Race for several thousand years," She paused briefly before continuing.

"But, similar to Monarch Physique Holders, just as a new Monarch is born after the death of a previous Monarch, the same principle applies to Progenitors. Thousands of years after the death of the first Progenitor of the dragons, a new, random Progenitor was born within the Dragon Race."

"And that was you," Evan concluded after hearing her explanation.

"Yes," Anastasia confirmed. "Since I wasn't the first Progenitor of the Dragon Race and was born as a Shadow Dragon, I was given the title Progenitor of the Shadow Dragons instead of Progenitor of the Dragons. And before you ask, if you are wondering whether I was born in Utopia or the Origin Universe, the answer is the Origin Universe. As for how I ended up in Utopia, I'm not sure yet. I recently started exploring the memories contained within my bloodline. I couldn't access them before because my core was heavily damaged, and it only recovered after the Shadow Realm evolved into the Primordial Shadow Realm."

Evan was surprised to learn that Anastasia had been born in the Origin Universe. But upon reflection, it made sense. After all, Utopia had once been part of the Origin Universe before Azroth destroyed the Universal Tree, separating them.

'Could it be that, like Utopia, she was swallowed by the void when the Origin Universe shattered and somehow ended up here?' Evan speculated, feeling his guess was plausible.

At the same time, his mind drifted back to one of Anastasia's earlier statements.

'The first Progenitor of the Dragons fell during a war between the Primordials…' He thought to himself.

'Wasn't the war between the Primordials the same conflict involving Azroth and the other Primordials?'
