Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 1140 - 298: Kael’s Bloodline and the Buried Past (10K)

Perhaps it was fate's favor; in such circumstances, the Shadow Country surprisingly succeeded in creating miraculous results due to an unexpected experimental accident under the auspices of Fortune's Daughter.

[Heart of Essence]

This is a reversed version of the technique belonging to the goblin empire known as [Mercury Blood].

Unlike Mercury Blood, [Heart of Essence] is more a method than a technology.

Simply put, in the moment the world shatters, the power of the world's source material is briefly exposed to the outside world, a force so pure it can stand shoulder to shoulder with the divine source power.

However, the method to extract source material is, in essence, a manner of permanently destroying the continent's ecology.

If it ravages the land of the Shadow Country for too long, it will inevitably have irreparable effects.

When the national territory refining array is deployed to extract the source material, it can engulf the land and everyone on it entirely.

Where there's neither land nor people, the Shadow Country has no reason to exist.

Such a method is clearly unacceptable.

Thus, it must be done another way—by having someone else bear the cost.

So, the Queen of the Shadow Country came up with an utterly mad decision—

Go to the Abyss!

The Abyss constantly devours the endless fragments of the Dungeon; what method could be more secretive and rapid than extracting source material within the Abyss?

However... the researchers of the Shadow Country were all merely dabblers; even if the [Heart of Essence] technology was born of their hands, it didn't mean their scientific ability had improved.

Research outcomes hinge on capability, but luck is also a factor.

Clearly, in the realm of [Heart of Essence] technology, Fortune's Daughter wasn't just lifting her hem to them; she laid herself down, allowing them all the luck to do as they wished.

But no matter how much luck one has, a lack of strength is still a lack of strength; every offering from fate comes with a costly price.

Now, the researchers of the Shadow Country paid an unimaginably painful price due to their ignorance.

Did they really think the phrase "when you gaze into the Abyss, the Abyss also gazes into you" was a joke?

Predictably, accidents arose from the Shadow Country's research, and in the midst of chaos, the research members engaged in experiments in the Abyss found themselves suddenly swept into an Abyss Blood Battle.

Unprecedented waves of terror burst forth at that moment, and in an instant, drawn by the impact of the Abyss Blood Battle, the temporary space channels opened by the Shadow Country solidified into the Abyss Gate.

That day, demons poured through the Abyss Gate, inundating every inch of the Shadow Country's land.

For stealing all from the Abyss, use the entire Shadow Country as payment!

On that day, many high-ranking members of the Shadow Country finally realized they had made an irreparable mistake.

They were so focused on how to evade the view of the many nations on the continent, especially the holy Briania, they never considered another problem: the Abyss, feared by holy Briania, would it not pose a greater threat than the pressure from Briania?

What can make a great threat feel fear would be an even greater threat.

At the time, they did not understand this, or perhaps they did, but the high-level leaders of the Shadow Country harbored wishful thinking and resolutely carried out the plan.

Then, apocalypse descended.

On that day, the Queen of the Shadow Country turned sallow and gray overnight, her life nearing its end.

On that day, to save the Shadow Country from its imminent demise, the Queen made a difficult choice.

Yes, everything returned to the original plan.

Using the national territory refining array to refine the land itself, acquiring source material at the most brutal cost.

But this time, the target for extraction was no longer the Abyss, but all the Shadow Country's land and the demons ravaging it.

In that moment when the Shadow Country was about to be engulfed, the national territory refining array lit up.

The adjusted national territory refining array instantly devoured everything.

The land, now transformed by the Abyss, and countless demons became nourishment for the national territory refining array.

The Queen of the Shadow Country had set up a contingency to transform the remaining Shadow Clan into a demon race adapted to survive in the Abyss.

The characteristics of the Shadow Clan were fully inherited by the demon bodies, thus, from seven hundred years ago, the Abyss possessed a hidden race.

They called themselves Shadow Demons.

This group, risking their lives to save their country, saved nothing.

Everything is like ideals, unable to withstand the slightest storm, often shattering entirely with the slightest interference.

The national territory refining array, as the core technology of the [Heart of Essence] to condense [source material], after consuming the Abyss's source material, Shadow Country's source material, and the essence of countless demons, extracted power remained immensely strong but was no longer pure and clean.

These newly born Shadow Demons referred to the fusion of part world will and Abyss Will's source power as [Chaos Source Essence].

The chaos fundamentally arose from [the inherent chaotic power of the Abyss].
