Chapter 309: Chapter 174: The Locked Level of the Human Tribe_2

---

Soon after, inside the space, on an ancient peak shrouded in darkness, the Bone Dragon ridden by the Dark Fire Envoy landed.

Lu Ran also fell from the Bone Dragon. At the cliff, a dark-robed elder was staring at the gloomy sky. Seeing this person, the Dark Fire Envoy gestured slightly and said, "Sect Hierarch, I have brought the individual."

Then, he rode the Bone Dragon and slowly withdrew, leaving Lu Ran baffled on the spot.

Huh? Sister, you’re leaving just like that?

Being left behind alone, Lu Ran felt a bit testy.

However, as the dark-robed elder at the cliff turned around, Lu Ran, after a moment of surprise, still stepped forward and said, "I pay my respects to the Sect Hierarch."

"No need for formalities, I already know everything about you," said the dark-robed elder. "Could you demonstrate for me the way you remove soul consciousness?"

"No problem, I need a Giant Rat Beast."

"Won’t other undead do?" The Necro Sect Hierarch fell silent, not understanding Lu Ran’s particular fascination with the Giant Rat Beast.

When the Dark Fire Envoy brought Lu Ran here, nearly every undead pet beast was mobilized to thoroughly investigate Lu Ran’s deeds in Midwood City and then delivered Lu Ran’s information to headquarters one step ahead.

Although it was their first meeting, the Necro Sect Hierarch was no stranger to Lu Ran.

Even more so, he knew that Lu Ran had an excellent reputation among the followers in Midwood City.

"That is also fine," nodded Lu Ran.

Immediately thereafter, the Necro Sect Hierarch waved his large sleeve, and a fainted Cow Spirit’s soul flew towards Lu Ran’s side.

Lu Ran took out his Soul-Slashing Kitchen Knife, first touched the Cow Spirit, and then slightly closed his eyes. Ten seconds later... he slashed down with his knife.

The moment Lu Ran made his slash, the light fluctuations of Intent suffusing the Soul-Slashing Knife were accurately locked onto by the Necro Sect Hierarch, who after confirming it was indeed a special Cooking Intent, revealed an approving expression.

"Is this all right?" asked Lu Ran.

"That will do," the Necro Sect Hierarch waved his hand and said, "Child, come here."

Lu Ran silently observed the old man, not understanding what he had in mind, but still chose to approach him.

"I ask you, are you willing to become the Saint Heir of the Death Divine Sect, do you want to become the successor of the Death Divine Sect, do you want to become a Legendary Necromancer, standing at the pinnacle of the continent?"

The series of questions from the Necro Sect Hierarch sent Lu Ran’s mind reeling.

However, despite imagining such a scenario, Lu Ran was very clear about why he had come here.

Information!

More important than resources or status was the information.

"To the Sect Hierarch, I am indeed very interested in Necromancy, and additionally, I have found that the actions of Missionary Gao Li and others do not match the deeds of the Cult rumored in the whispers, which is why I had the idea to join the Death Divine Sect personally to see for myself," Lu Ran replied.

"I just did not expect to meet the Sect Hierarch in person so soon. If my abilities can help the development of Necromancy, I am naturally willing to contribute, but what I want to know even more is why the Necro Sect was truly established." Lu Ran looked at him.

"Is the doctrine really just what it appears on the surface, ’to help Beast Trainers start anew’?"

"That..." In response to Lu Ran’s question, the Necro Sect Hierarch was not surprised. He looked up at the sky with an empty gaze and said:

"Since there’s an intention to make you the Divine Sect’s Saint Heir, you should indeed know more."

"Indeed, I founded the Death Divine Sect under the guise of helping Beast Trainers who lost their Pet Beasts to start anew, but in reality, it was for the future of the Human Tribe."

"The future of the Human Tribe??" Lu Ran was startled, never expecting the Necromancy Cult to have any connection with the future of humanity.

"Hehe," chuckled the Necro Sect Hierarch, knowing that someone like Lu Ran, a young lad, would not understand the true reality of the world. He said, "Do you know why on this continent, there are only Level Eight Beast Trainers and not a single Level Nine Beast Trainer?"

"Why." Lu Ran was once again taken aback.

"That’s because the Legendary Divine Beasts that govern this world do not allow humans to give birth to Level Nine powerhouses."

"This is forbidden knowledge. Thousands of years ago, after humans developed the power of Beast Training, they rose rapidly, but this also aroused the wariness of many Legendary Divine Beasts."

"Many Legendary Divine Beasts feared that humans would grow to the peak and obtain strength enough to enslave them. At that time, it can be said that the fate of humanity was at the whim of those Legendary Divine Beasts."

"Fortunately, not all Legendary Divine Beasts are hostile towards humans; some stand with the Human Tribe. Thus, humans and the Legendary species have established a rule..."

"What rule??" Lu Ran asked urgently.

"A part of the Legendary species modified the World Rules, cursing the bloodline of the Human Tribe to prevent them from breaking through to Legend."

"But if there is a Beast Trainer who, with a mortal body, can rival the gods, this restriction will be lifted, and humans will be able to beget Legends, regaining the potential to stand at the pinnacle of the world."

"However, contending with Legends with a mortal body is not so easy."

"Relying solely on the existing Beast Training system, it is simply impossible. Through the ages, countless mighty individuals have challenged the Legendary Domain... but all have failed."

"I founded the Death Divine Sect actually following someone’s guidance, and all this was to break this rule, to help the Human Tribe break free from this shackle."

"You just need to know this much."

"However, the development of the necro system is destined to be rugged. Although some talents are so strong-willed, they can practice Necromancy without being affected and grow into powerful Necromancers, but this is not enough!"

"For a Domain to develop to its peak isn’t something a handful of individuals can achieve."

"That’s why the Death Divine Sect wants to cultivate more followers, discover more talents, and augment this Attribute. But for the average Beast Trainer, to grow successfully by Devouring Souls is bound not to be easy."

"But now it’s different. The Divine Sect has been researching all along how to eliminate the side effects of Devouring Souls. Unexpectedly, something that the enormous Divine Sect couldn’t figure out, was thoroughly researched by you, a young man new to necromantic power."

"Truly, fate is unfathomable." The Sect Hierarch of the Necro Sect shook his head.

"Although your method is difficult to replicate, you have shown remarkable Talent. I want you to continue your research, to lower the threshold for ordinary people to become Necromancers. What do you say, kiddo, interested?"

"If, in the future, the Necro system truly becomes the Attribute that changes the fate of the Human Tribe, making them no longer subject to the whims of Legendary Divine Beasts, your name will surely go down in history."

Lu Ran’s heart shook. He had contemplated a myriad of reasons for the rise of the Necromancy Cult, but never expected to receive this kind of explanation.

The information spoken by the Sect Hierarch of the Necro Sect seemed quite reasonable, but inexplicably, Lu Ran always felt that the other party was hiding something. Was what he said... the truth?

"Would you be willing to take me as your master and become the Saint Heir of the Death Divine Sect?" The Sect Hierarch of the Necro Sect spoke again.

"Do you have the spirit of a mortal that can match the gods?"

"Master!"

At that moment, Lu Ran didn’t care if the other party was hiding anything or not; regardless of the consequences, he just called out.

He had to obtain the identity of the Necromancer Holy Son no matter what.

This concerned how much resource he could further glean from the Breakthrough Secret Realm in the next half month!

Moreover, only by obtaining the status of the Holy Son could he collect more information!

"Hahaha, good."

At that moment, hearing Lu Ran’s address, the Sect Hierarch of the Necro Sect also revealed a smile, nodding in satisfaction.

"From this day forth, King of Sudden Death, you are the first disciple of I, the Legendary Necromancer Los, and the Saint Heir of the Death Divine Sect!!!"

Lu Ran locked eyes with the black-robed elder, emotions churning within him.

Damn, damn, mum, dad, you guys made it to the upper echelons of Reaper, and here I am... somehow blundering into the upper echelons of the necromantic power on Star-Moon Continent... even at the level of an heir!

...

That day, within the Death Space, all the mountains experienced violent vibrations.

One after another, Necromancers proficient in various schools all received the news, then showed expressions of shock.

"What, the Sect Hierarch has emerged from seclusion? And he took a disciple?"

"Has the long-vacant position of the Holy Son finally been determined?"

The moment they received the news, although they didn’t know if the Sect would hold any special ceremonies, these Elders of Necromancy instinctively began to search for treasures like the Dragon Soul, Phoenix Soul... After all, when meeting the new Holy Son, they couldn’t go empty-handed.
