But even if he was still under the influence of alcohol, he couldn’t have forgotten what happened yesterday. He also began to feel puzzled. Tiness squinted her eyes slightly and commanded, "No need for you to speak anymore, capture him, and I will personally look into the memories in his head." As she spoke, a bloody gleam illuminated her eyes. At that moment, a flash of brilliance suddenly shot from Lu Heng’s eyes. His arms surged, breaking free from the sinew rope, exploding with tenfold speed in an instant. A booming explosion echoed, and the two Bloodline Demons beside were swept away by the shockwave of the sonic boom. The next instant, Lu Heng was already in front of the Supreme Beldam Tiness, the Aurora Blade piercing through her chest. The Bloodline Demoness and the servant outside the door screamed, but just as the sound came out, another Lu Heng cut off their heads, abruptly stopping the sound. Lu Heng’s doppelganger killed all the Bloodline Demons including Kalu, disposed of the bodies, and then closed the hall’s doors. Tiness’s chest was pierced by the long sword, her face full of shock. Lu Heng pulled out the Aurora Blade, walked behind her, and placed the sword at her neck. The Bloodline Demoness excelled in spiritual skills; when the weapon was already at their throats, they no longer had the right to resist. Tiness clutched the wound on her chest to stop the gushing blood, then gasped, "We can talk, what do you want?" Lu Heng said calmly, "Ask for some intelligence I need. Don’t try to lie, I also have spiritual skills, and after I ask I’ll use the skill to confirm, lying will only make your death more miserable." Tiness hurriedly agreed, "Understood, as long as it’s a secret I know, I can tell you." She could tell from the reaction of the Personal Guard Captain that he was clearly under a spiritual skill’s effect. She herself was also a Spiritual system banshee, and she understood well that when engaging in spiritual confrontation, if the opponent had a weapon on one’s throat, any resistance was meaningless. The prerequisite for engaging in spiritual confrontation is that the body isn’t threatened. No matter how strong the spiritual attribute is, when the body is threatened, the spiritual attribute loses its guarantee. If she chose to use spiritual confrontation, the result was a physical means that led to spiritual collapse, ultimately suffering both pain and the inability to keep secrets. Lu Heng began questioning, "First question, do you know about the Zero Civilization?" Tiness: "I do know, but I’ve never been there. I only know that a Great Demon from our Bloodline Clan has been there." Lu Heng: "Tell me in detail." Tiness: "It’s a very strange civilization, they didn’t kill our Summoners but gave compensation, allowing the Summoners to return safely." Lu Heng: "Do you know what the task of the Bloodline Summoners was?" Tiness: "Yes, the task of our Bloodline Clan’s Summoners in the Zero Civilization is mainly to disrupt its cycle, preventing it from entering the next cycle." Get full chapters from 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚑𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚑𝙣𝙚𝙩 Lu Heng heard the term for the first time and was momentarily unable to understand the relationship between the Zero Civilization and the cycle. Humans were summoned to investigate why the Zero Civilization’s progress was stalled and to help it break free from the state of civilizational stagnation. In contrast, the Bloodline Clan was summoned by the Abyss to prevent the Zero Civilization from moving to the next cycle. Usually, the goals of the Alliance Summoners and Abyss Summoners were opposite, or rather, antagonistic. In other words, according to the normal reasoning for Abyss Battlefield tasks, disrupting the cycle and breaking free from civilization stagnation should be two opposite goals. However, these two tasks, in terms of wording, do not have a direct antagonistic relationship. From the assignment details of the Bloodline Clan, the Zero Civilization is currently in some sort of cycle. And this cycle is something the Abyss needs to disrupt, which implies this cycle is beneficial to the Zero Civilization. The task information for Human Summoners, however, suggests that the Zero Civilization is in a state of civilizational stagnation. Cycle and civilization stagnation are apparently two different states. Could it be that the Summoning Will or the Abyss has misjudged the state of the Zero Civilization? Lu Heng quickly dismissed this possibility. From what is known of the Abyss Battlefield, any task issued by the Summoning Will is accurate. No reports of errors with the Abyss Battlefield tasks have been heard. Similarly, tasks issued by the Abyss shouldn’t be prone to errors either. Lu Heng couldn’t immediately figure out the connection between these two pieces of information and didn’t have enough time to analyze it slowly. Although the attack on the Supreme Beldam went smoothly, as soon as any patrol team passed by outside, it could discover the situation here. Lu Heng had to extract all intelligence as soon as possible and then leave. As for the connection between the intelligence, that could be analyzed slowly after leaving. Lu Heng continued questioning, "There appeared a Prince of Blood among humans, do you know about it?" Tiness: "I do know, but this Bloodline Prince is already dead." Lu Heng: "After this human Bloodline Prince died, did you still have contact with humans?" When the question was asked, Tiness hesitated and didn’t answer immediately. Without wasting words, Lu Heng directly sliced off her head with a stroke. "Don’t! I’ll tell!" Tiness immediately pleaded. The Bloodline Clan’s life force is tenacious; even if the head is cut off, as long as it’s reattached in time, they’ll survive. Lu Heng didn’t respond, as her hesitation indicated that the question touched upon something she needed to hide. In other words, there are hidden secrets of the Bloodline Clan in the Human World. Even if she were willing to answer, Lu Heng wouldn’t believe it, so he directly used [Subconscious Invasion] to interrogate her subconscious. Tiness’s head, having been cut off by Gordon Jacob, would suffer a drastic drop in spiritual power even if it was strong initially, resulting in a severe reduction, if not halved. Thus, Tiness struggled only twice before falling into a subconscious state. Lu Heng continued asking in the subconscious: "Are there still High-level Bloodlines in the Human World?" Tiness: "No High-level Bloodlines, but there is a Bloodline human overseer." Lu Heng: "Who is it? Someone from the Berg Family?" Upon hearing this response, Lu Heng’s first reaction was that after Will Berg’s death, a portion of his power was taken over by other Berg family members. However, Tiness’s response did not confirm this speculation. Tiness: "I don’t know, this Bloodline human overseer is very hidden, not contacted by me, and I haven’t seen them." Lu Heng: "What information do you have about this Bloodline human overseer?" Tiness: "He appeared after the Bloodline Prince died, directly contacting Bloodline Prince Moznis. Only Moznis knows the information about him." Lu Heng initially just wanted to know how much control the Bloodline Clan currently had over the Human World, unexpectedly uncovering a significant secret. The operation to eliminate Will Berg was very successful, eliminating the Bloodline Prince within humans in one fell swoop. Because of that operation’s success, the Bloodline transformation event that was about to break out in the Human World did not occur. If Will Berg hadn’t died, based on the previous era’s developments, the Human World would’ve faced a "Civilization Evolution Organization," initiating a Bloodline transformation plan. That plan would have led the number of Bloodline humans to expand uncontrollably, causing human civilization to enter a phase of internal strife. In this era, changes occurred; Will Berg’s death directly aborted the Bloodline transformation plan in its infancy. This has resulted in the current Human World having very few Bloodline groups. However, one certainty is that Bloodline groups within humans haven’t completely disappeared; occasionally, reports arise about discovering Bloodline humans. Moreover, Lu Heng thought of something else. Will Berg committed suicide when he died. Initially, Lu Heng intended to capture him and hand him over to the military’s intelligence department for interrogation. In that way, all of Will Berg’s secrets would have been revealed. However, Will Berg committed suicide outright. The only explanation for this act of suicide is that he was hiding some secret.
