Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 1138 - 298: Kael’s Bloodline and the Buried Past (10K)

Kael looked at the guy with an indifferent expression, sighed deeply, slightly withdrew his sword blade, and then swung it down again, lopping off a short arm that flew high into the air. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

He reached out and directly grabbed the Shadow Demon's neck. Soon, amidst the pain of blood spurting and the agony of suffocation, his condition became increasingly withered. Just as he was about to falter, he saw a pair of crimson eyes.

[Ah~ah~ it's those Incubus bitches' Seductive Demon Eye... This guy is even more cautious than I imagined. I thought I'd be able to exact a bit of revenge.]

Soon, the consciousness of the Shadow Demon was completely captivated by the Seductive Demon Eye cast by Kael. At that moment of collapse and submission, Kael saw the crimson glow emanating from the depths of his pupils.

He only began to release healing magic after confirming that this guy was under control and had no resistance left.

Quickly, after pulling the Shadow Demon's lifeline back to a half-dead state, he finally spoke, "Tell me everything you know."

The Shadow Demon struggled for a moment, but eventually chose to reveal what he knew.

...

The time the story begins is over seven hundred years ago.

At that time, the goblin empire was in its prime, and various forces had dealt with this top-tier Empire.

Suddenly, one day, the goblin empire made a rather important decision.

They attempted to initiate the Heavenly Ladder Plan.

According to the goblin empire's calculations, as early as seven or eight hundred years, at most within one thousand two or three hundred years, even if the entire continent's strength was united, there would no longer be any chance of threatening the deities' lives.

Those who knew of this matter at the time were none other than the high-ranking leaders of various forces across the continent.

Given the stature of the Shadow Country on the continent back then, it was practically impossible for them to be the first to know about these secret messages.

However, during that era, some of the top nations had a group of loyal followers surrounding them.

More precisely, these so-called followers were originally citizens of those great nations. After reaching their peak, some great nations found that wanting to further grow strong quickly via Dungeon conquests was a luxury, so they proactively performed personnel segregation within the nation.

Just like ant colonies dividing, this segregated group would take part of the grandeur of the great nation and head to barren regions that no one wished to go to. More accurately, these are wastelands left by nations that once flourished but ultimately were destroyed and became ravaged by Dungeon monsters in the Land of Lawlessness.

The Shadow Country was such a nation, because over these years the original nation actually had always been supporting the Shadow Country, so the relationship between the Shadow Country and the originating nation was almost like that of a brother to a younger sibling.

Relying on this incredibly close relationship, alongside the special characteristics of the specifically selected Shadow Clan, the Shadow Country blundered into participating in this meeting that only great nations were qualified to discuss.

Interestingly, numerous nations were in situations similar to the Shadow Country.

For example, under the umbrella of large force Tombyard, subsidiary forces like the Denizens' Underground Tomb, probably a dozen small nations participated in this meeting.

What shocked everyone was the unexpected generosity of the goblin empire.

Back then, the goblin empire proposed a point of discussion: "How to create a weapon that can move deities in the shortest time possible, preferably the kind that can directly erase ordinary deities."

After this point was proposed, it naturally drew criticism from various great nations.

Although they felt a strong pessimism about the imminent future where deities would reign, they quickly realized that regardless of how pessimistic they were, it was up to the future successors of their great powers to ponder.

The vast majority of them had no chance to live beyond 600 years, so expecting them to want to board the goblin empire's dark ship in this era was impossible.

It was not until the goblin empire presented part of the Heavenly Ladder Plan's research results that the upper echelons of various countries couldn't help but be tempted.

The research results of the Heavenly Ladder Plan were so formidable that the moment various forces saw these things, they were instantly captivated.

Whether the results of the Heavenly Ladder Plan were powerful didn't matter; we just feel it's necessary to consider it for the future of our nation in a millennium.

When the stakes are high enough, countless countries will go crazy for it, even at great risk.

Clearly, that was the case with the nations back then.

But this was also very normal.

The related research results of the Heavenly Ladder Plan indeed pierced through the hearts of the present countries; no one could restrain themselves from the research results. In fact, this was the goblin empire's objective.

Using related research projects to pull everyone onto their bandwagon.

Starting from this point, every country participating in this meeting acquired a part of the Heavenly Ladder Plan's related research results.

It wasn't just about having related research results; the goblin empire even thoughtfully provided a set of "teach a man to fish," and from this day, all countries bound to the goblin empire's bandwagon began to rapidly climb the technological ladder along the framework of the Heavenly Ladder Plan.
