Chapter 4452: The Deathhowl Crypt

"..." Schleya and the others reeled back at the information they were provided with.

Too many thoughts filled their head for them to ask or retort. Besides, although they believed in Nadia, inducing forced death wasn’t something they could approve of without Davis’s opinion. If he knew, he might go mad.

Nyoran was quickly thinking she should return and explain.

Otherwise, what if her life tablet shattered? It would be a pandemonium back in the family.

The Patriarch looked excited, his eyes full of expectation, "She will achieve no one was able to in the past tens of billion years! It is not a small matter for the likes of you to interfere. You all should sit tight and wait for your sister to come back even more powerful!"

The other Nether Springs Death Wolves also cheered with low howls.

Finally, there was some change in their overly quiet and unchanging clan. It could not be understated how revved up they were, considering the bloodline curse haunted them without end.

"Wait... if Nadia needs to die in order to evolve, then would her life tablet break?"

"A life tablet...?" The Patriarch reeled back, "I know what it is, but we don’t use it, so I don’t know if it will break or not."

Vereina opened her mouth, "Dying will cause the life tablet to shatter, even if it is momentary before the life is somehow resuscitated or resuscitated by itself. I know this because I have played with my fair share of enemies, devouring their souls partly enough for them to die but also revive if they’re lucky and their Will to stay alive is high enough."

"Vereina is right." Rokushi Mirai nodded.

It caused Nyoran to decide, "We need to go back and inform. Otherwise... they might all try to find a way to intrude into this dimension and might result in losing all that we have built up."

"Alright, we’ll go back." Schleya nodded, becoming the leader at the moment. She turned to look at the Patriarch of the Nether Springs Death Wolf Clan.

"When would Nadia enter a state of death?"

"Hmm." The Patriarch’s eyes dulled as he looked into the distance, "For a powerful Emperor-Tier Beast like her- it would take anywhere between a million years to a billion years to lose all her energy in a state of hibernation, depending on what kind of environment she is in. Hibernating here would allow her energy to last for a billion years."

"...!"

"However, the Deathhowl Crypt hastens this process, so anywhere between two to four years."

"Oh, we have time..." Nyoran finally heaved a sigh of relief.

She was scared that it would happen immediately, but if it happened one billion years later, then they didn’t know other than to feel it was ridiculous.

Fortunately, it seemed like it would only take two to four years by their standards.

Schleya’s bosoms also heaved. She had always been following around and swinging blades, but now that she was in the leadership position, she felt an extreme burden that made her feel scared. Honestly, she didn’t feel this position fit her, but now that Nadia was away, by virtue of being Davis’s wife, she naturally inherited the mantle.

Now, she felt that she needed to respond to the call, causing her to take a deep breath.

She glared at the Patriarch for moving things without their permission, but Nadia was also Nadia, never listening to their opinions, just saying to believe in her and leaving without giving them many words. In that case, they could only support her.

"Fine, we’ll accept your hospitality and wait for Nadia. However, you need to answer a few of our questions."

"Speak." The Patriarch nodded smilingly, "I don’t think I will go back to hibernation since I’m also excited to see her emerge as a victor for the sake of our clan’s survival."

"What is this bloodline curse all about? Why can’t you all become a Deathhowl Revenant Wolf?"

"I can’t go into detail. But from what we have gathered, our bloodline curse disallows us to be intimate and evolve moderately but severely restricts our ability to have a progeny." The Patriarch sighed, "There are very few cases of us having become a Deathhowl Revenant Wolf, and they don’t stay here since this land is of no use to them. They have ventured out to seek their own gains, their life and death unknown."

"So it’s possible to become a Deathhowl Revenant Wolf for you all?"

"Yes, but as I said, we don’t dare try until we’re tired of living or we’re near the end of our lifespan, but at that point, the blood essence we carry is already at an extreme low, so evolution is unlikely, but still, that is our way of not going out easily."

"..." At this point, Schleya was incensed.

What was the need for Nadia to go there and put herself in danger in order to just evolve? She was sure that Nadia could evolve with Davis or Everlight’s help even without having to undergo evolution in the Deathhowl Crypt. She couldn’t understand why Nadia would just leave without understanding this simple fact.

Even if she failed at becoming a Deathhowl Revenant Wolf, she would have extreme support where she would never die.

Schleya could not think of a future where Davis would let Nadia die.

"Then is evolving in the Deathhowl Crypt really important?"

"Hahaha." The Patriarch laughed, "Weren’t you listening? The bloodline curse does not allow us to evolve. As far as I know, the Deathhowl Crypt is the only place where we can possibly evolve, as it is a place built by our ancestors to curb the bloodline curse. It is a special place where outside interference is minimal, and the laws of the Nether Dimension and the karma related to our clan are curbed. I heard it was built using an Exalt Stage Nefarious Darkwill Rakshasa’s Soul Core."

"...!"

Schleya and the others were shocked beyond compare.

Isabella and the others had sent back the Nefarious Darkwill Rakshasa’s Soul Core to them from the Elemental Dimension, so they were well aware of its uses. It took control of the region or space, allowing it to control the heaven and earth energy as it pleased and even change its nature through sheer Will.

Is that why the Laws of the Nether Dimension and the bloodline curse were managed to be curbed?

"It was a pity we couldn’t do the same for creating progenies." The Patriarch sighed, "The Deathhowl Crypt is the only place where we can evolve into a Deathhowl Revenant Howl. Otherwise, even if we luckily managed to evolve outside somewhere, our bloodline would just regress back to a Nether Springs Death Wolf almost quickly and cause a major backlash. Do you think the curse the heavens bestowed on us to be so easy to shatter?"

He shook his head, his voice full of exhaustion as though they had tried countless methods to break it.

"..." Schleya and the others were dumbfounded.

Then, even if Davis and Everlight managed to make Nadia evolve, she would just regress and suffer?

It was no wonder Nadia decided to head inside to evolve. But why didn’t she tell them? They were so confused.

The truth was that Nadia didn’t know. All she wanted to do was learn the source of the bloodline curse so she could destroy it in the future. The possibility of evolution was a mere added plus. However, somewhere in her mind, a variety of strange or selfish thoughts didn’t let her evolve.

One, there were no inherited memories of the next evolution. That was strange, especially strange for an Emperor-Tier Beast. She could tell this was because of the bloodline curse, so she figured it must also stop her somehow, causing heaven and earth to tremble if she tried to evolve.

Secondly, she had her children to take care of. She didn’t want to be too far apart from them both in terms of looks and bloodline, fearing that she might abandon or even remotely dislike them because of bloodline differences. She wanted to put evolution aside for as long as possible until they grew into teenagers.

Thirdly, she couldn’t evolve before meeting with the Nether Springs Death Wolf Clan, or she feared it might result in rejection and being unable to obtain the secret of the bloodline curse. Fortunately, they accepted her.

Lastly, she didn’t want to rely on Everlight to evolve. They were rivals. As a beast, where would she have her face if she kept asking for help? She didn’t want to imagine Everlight smugly smiling at her from afar more than necessary since she was already indebted.

This left only Davis, so she wasn’t in any particular hurry to evolve until she came across the Deathhowl Crypt. As an Emperor-Tier Beast, she also wanted to carve her own path, her Will swelling with pride as a Nether Springs Death Wolf. Then, she could brag about it to Davis and receive more praise.

Such childish yet endearing thoughts were going on in her mind, but it left Schleya and the others thinking that she had seen through it all.

Nonetheless, Schleya’s eyes narrowed, "What is a Mythical Tier Beast then?"
