Chapter 1377: A Request
Frost Desolation Abyss.
A grand palace as tall as a mountain stood proudly at an empty, barren land of the Arctic Ice Field.
This place was the territory of the Great Lord of the Abyss, Dawson. The grand palace was made out of ice and stone, and it was where Dawson and his descendants lived.
A huge tornado suddenly appeared right above the palace. It hid Dawson's gigantic body partially.
“Swoosh!”
A figure flew out of the tornado and fell straight towards the palace below.
Enos was standing at a corner of a plaza inside the palace. Sinister-looking demonic statues that were at least several hundreds meters tall adorned the building.
“Bang!”
A figure landed heavily on the rock floor, but the impact failed to crack the rock even a little.
“Enos!” Qin Lie’s expression changed the second he noticed the girl on the plaza. He immediately tried to activate the Eight-eyed Demon Spirit’s bloodline in an attempt to teleport out of the Frost Desolation Abyss instantly.
Enos was Dawson’s bloodline descendant, and daughter of the Great Lord of the Frost Desolation Abyss. From Cadak’s memories, he had learned that Dawson was also the highest ranked.
The rank ten Great Lords of the Abyss were ranked according to their true combat strength.
Any Great Lord of the Abyss who had successfully reached rank ten bloodline would challenge others to a battle.
The rankings were very important to the Great Lords of the Abyss!
Enos’s father, Dawson was the highest ranked Great Lord of the Frost Desolation Abyss. As the strongest expert of his Abyss level, he had the power to draw power from the most basic of laws of the universe present there..
The moment he saw Enos, Qin Lie knew immediately that the demonic figure on the sky he had seen back in Cadak’s territory was Dawson.
“Oh no…”
Right after he activated the Eight-eyed Demon Spirit’s bloodline, a dull roar suddenly resounded from the center of this palace.
His star door instantly shattered like a mirror before they could completely form.
“My father is looking for you,” Enos said.
Enos had purple hair and purple eyes. She was standing alone in the plaza filled with demonic statues, and her eyes were currently filled with a strange and incomprehensible emotion.
“He wants to see me?” Qin Lie was caught off guard.
Enos was a high rank Abyss Devil, so her appearance didn’t differ too greatly from that of a human, a Spirit Race clansman or a God Race clansman. In fact, her unique hair and eye color gave her an exceptionally charming appearance.
Unlike their past encounters, Enos wasn’t in a hurry to threaten or attack him. In fact, she seemed to look embarrassed for some reason.
Not only that, Enos seemed to have dressed herself up specifically for their meeting. The purple dress she was wearing fitted her body and accentuated her womanly features nicely, greatly enhancing her natural charm.
However, her unnatural actions had only made Qin Lie feel more and more worried.
“My father has been watching Cadak’s territory for a very long time already. You may have successfully refined the soul mark he had left inside you, but that doesn’t mean he can’t detect you when you cross over from another realm. All he needs to do is to pay attention to Cadak at all times,” Enos explained.
Qin Lie frowned. “I haven’t broken a single rule since I showed up at the Frost Desolation Abyss, right?”
“That is correct. You may visit the Frost Desolation Abyss anytime you wish as long as your bloodline hasn’t reached rank ten,” Enos explained.
“Then why is your father keeping an eye on me?” Qin Lie smiled wryly.
Enos bit her lower lip and tried to say something. Her embarrassment seemed to get the better of her, however.
It was at this moment purple shadows suddenly gathered next to Enos. A few seconds later, they transformed into a huge middle-aged man who looked as brawny as a mountain.
The middle-aged man had purple eyes that were as big as a bronze bell. He had a bald head, a boorish face, and a laugh that was endlessly rude and forceful. “I am Dawson.”
Qin Lie sucked in a deep breath and activated his bloodline power, his hair and eyes turning red in an instant. It was the only way he could resist Dawson’s incredible presence, and even then it was just barely.
He subconsciously closed his eyes.
When he closed his eyes and probed Dawson with his soul consciousness, he saw a gigantic, thousand-meter tall Silver Armored War Devil with sinister-looking horns on his head, natural silver armor around his torso and sharp barbs around his shoulder area instead of the middle-aged man Dawson had presented himself as.
He immediately figured out that what he could see with his soul was Dawson’s true appearance.
Dawson was originally just a low rank Silver Armor War Devil. But after fighting countless battles, consuming boundless flesh, evolving his bloodline power and awakening new bloodline abilities, he ultimately succeeded in reaching rank ten and become the highest ranked Great Lord of the Frost Desolation Abyss.
A low rank Abyss Devil who survived countless battles and evolved to become a Great Lord of the Abyss were collectively called the First Devils.
Right now, almost all the Abyss Devils who stood at the top of the food chain were the First Devils. They were the true rulers of the Abyss.
The rank ten First Devils were the synonym of fear in the Abyss. They were in every sense of the word the overlords.
There was nothing more the God Race, the Spirit Race, and the Soul Race feared more than running into the First Devils every time they invaded the Abyss. It was because these Abyss Devils had successfully deciphered most of the laws of the Abyss and were working on understanding even deeper and greater secrets. They were unafraid of any transcendent challenger at the same level as them.
The five great families of the God Race weren’t victorious every time they invaded the Abyss.
In fact, in the history of the Abyss, the number of times the God Race, the Spirit Race, and the Soul Race were utterly routed by these powerful First Devils was about the same as the number of times the former.
Qin Lie opened his eyes with a bitter look on his face. “May I ask why you’ve waited for me on purpose, sir?”
The middle-aged man standing in front of him was definitely the Great Lord of the Frost Desolation Abyss, Dawson. After confirming that not even the Eight-eyed Demon Spirit’s bloodline could save him, he turned obedient and stopped struggling.
“Haha!” The bald-headed Dawson laughed loudly before explaining, “The reason I’m looking for you is because I have good news to share! I think you’re an excellent boy, and I want you to take my daughter, Enos, as one of your wives! I have only one request to make, and that is you must give Enos a child no matter how many wives or women you pick up in the future!”
Qin Lie was stunned.
He could never have imagined that the reason that Dawson, the Great Lord of the Frost Desolation Ayss had lay in wait for him and kidnapped him the second he entered the Frost Desolation Abyss was for something like this.
“You want a… child?” Qin Lie looked completely confused.
“That’s right, I wish for Enos to bear a child of yours. It’s that simple!” Dawson didn’t bother to hide his intentions. He said directly, “If the third generation of my blood is able to own even a portion of your bloodline, he will definitely become the strongest ruler in the history of the Frost Desolation Abyss!”
Dawson pointed at the giant demonic statues on the plaza. “These fellows over here are just like me. They were all the former Great Lords in the history of the Frost Desolation Abyss. Unfortunately for them, they ultimately died and became part of the Abyss despite living for over millions of years. If I cannot break through my limit and exceed rank ten bloodline, then my fate will be the same as theirs.”
“However, I’m not confident that I can surpass them and succeed where they had failed.”
“From the looks of it, the second generation of my blood didn’t have the power to realize my dreams either. Therefore, I have no choice but to put my hopes on the third.”
“And you… are the hope that may greatly increase my third generation’s chances of success.”
