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.
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.
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?'
