Chapter 246: I’m Getting Angry!
As the name implied, ancestral reversion physique was a re-emergence of long-lost ancestral traits —physical or physiological— in a descendant.
Despite the divide between their races, the human concept of ancestral reversion bore a striking similarity to that of the vampires.
This led Ji Bai to conclude, after analyzing the memories the pitch-black knight gave him, that the ancient vampire royalty and the God mankind worshiped shared close blood ties with each other.
In ancient times, all royal vampires, whether from main or branch families, could pass on their powers completely through virgin embrace. The fact that this ability had all but vanished in the present day had only one explanation: the [Primordial Vein] within the modern royal line was far weaker than that of their ancient ancestors.
This conclusion sparked a daring theory in Ji Bai’s mind.
He deduced that the only vampire in the current era capable of performing a virgin embrace may have just been a distant branch member from the second epoch.
After all, the true royal bloodline had been completely massacred by the allied army under the sway of the Lord of Sins, long before the calamity that destroyed the third epoch.
Of course, this was just Ji Bai’s speculation. The truth of what happened back then was likely far more complex.
In the present Fourth Epoch, vampires might have lost their former glory, but they had undeniably survived through two eras, rightfully earning their title as the most enduring noble race.
