What! Our family is actually the descendant of the evil god?.

After turning several forks in the road, they finally stopped in front of a pitch-black door carved with mysterious patterns.

Duke Lenka stretched out his hand, pushed open the door and walked in, then turned back and motioned Eros to follow him.

The door slowly closed, and Eros looked around the room curiously.

The room is big but there are not many things in it, just a table and a few chairs. The largest object is a bookshelf placed against the corner.

Just when he wanted to see what books were on the bookshelf, he found that the names of those books suddenly turned into strange and twisted tentacles.

It began to squirm non-stop, and along with it came waves of creepy whispers that rang in my ears.

Eros swallowed his saliva and tried hard not to scream out. At this moment, a light cough was heard from the side.

Instantly! The whispers that were still ringing in my ears disappeared immediately.

Looking at the bookshelf again, books of different colors were neatly arranged on the bookshelf, as if those strange and twisted tentacles just now were just illusions.

Eros was very sure that he had not seen or heard anything wrong just now, but what was going on now?

He looked up at his father, hoping he could explain it to him.

Duke Lenka cleared his throat and said, "You didn't see or hear anything wrong. This is what I'm going to tell you about. It's the forbidden knowledge hidden under civilization..."

As his father told his story, Eros gradually began to have a general understanding of the mysterious side of this world.

Sure enough, there are gods in this world, and there is more than one.

The nine major churches that have occupied the Croatian continent for several epochs, each of which believes in a real god. They regard themselves as righteous gods, sitting high on the throne of heaven, looking down on the countries on earth with their heads lowered.

In addition, there are many gods of small churches that actually exist, but their status is not as high as the nine true gods.

Sometimes he would even be called a false god by people from the nine major churches, and his believers would be purged as heretics, and his situation would be extremely miserable.

But as he listened, Eros felt something was wrong. It seemed that his father was very disdainful of those righteous gods, and it could even be said that he was hostile to them.

This made him feel a little strange. Wasn't his family a loyal believer in the God of Death and Reincarnation?

Not only do they donate a huge amount of money to the church every year, they also hold sacrificial activities to praise the gods during certain festivals. Could it be that this is all just superficial?

At that moment, he considered his words and said, "Dad, it seems that you don't respect those gods very much."

He couldn't help but be curious. After all, in this world where imperial power was granted by God, if anyone was found to be disrespecting the righteous gods, they would be arrested and taught a lesson, not to mention being hostile.

Hearing Eros' question, Duke Lenka said with some sarcasm: "They are just a bunch of traitors, claiming to be righteous gods."

Any melons?

Eros immediately grasped the key point: "Traitors? Why do you say they are traitors? Who did they betray?"

"Our ancestor, the Goddess of Night, was once their companion, and two of them were even her students."

"But they betrayed their ancestors, killed him with some dirty tricks, and devoured his essence, which made them the most powerful gods in the world."

"But the ancestor was a great being after all. He would not be killed so easily. Before he died, he left a prophecy saying that he would eventually return."

“When the traitors learned of this prophecy, they became afraid, so they slandered the ancestor as an evil god and frantically slaughtered the ancestor’s followers and bloodline, attempting to wipe out the ancestor’s faith and completely prevent his return.”

At this point, Duke Lenka's tone changed from angry to heavy, and Eros was stunned at this moment.

Duke Lenka calmed down and continued:

"For tens of thousands of years, we have been hiding from each other. We were once the most noble and honorable bloodline in this world, but now we are called the remnants of the night and have become like rats crossing the street."

Eros felt sweat on his forehead. It turned out that he had a grudge against the nine most powerful forces in the world right from the start.

Tens of thousands of years of massacre, this hatred is irreconcilable. What kind of hell mode is this? He is a little panicked now. Is it too late to reincarnate now?

Of course, this last sentence was just a joke he made to make himself feel good despite the misery.

As if he had noticed his son was secretly wiping his sweat, Duke Lenka consoled him:

"Don't worry, we are safe now. Three hundred years ago, our ancestors made a decision to split the family into two. One part took the initiative to sacrifice itself in exchange for the opportunity for the other part to join a certain church."

"The plan is going very successfully. Even the nine major churches probably didn't expect that we would join the church and become a family power under the church."

This wave of reverse operations is awesome. It seems that the ancestor knew that the most dangerous place is the safest.

I guess the church never imagined that such a blood feuding enemy would be hiding right under its nose.

Not only do they donate huge amounts of supplies to themselves every year, but they also hold festivals during festivals. This is simply a model believer.

But he was still a little curious. Wasn't there any other way for the church to find people?

After all, this is a mysterious world where gods really exist. How could there not be some strange abilities to find people?

He immediately asked this question, and Duke Lenka quickly gave an explanation:

"Our ancestors hold the power of the secrets. Once our bloodline has been baptized, it will definitely awaken an ability called the Servant of Secrets."

"Combined with the artifacts left by our ancestors, as long as we don't expose ourselves, it will be difficult for the church to discover our identities. This is why we have been able to hide for tens of thousands of years."

"Blood baptism?" Eros continued to grasp the key point.

"Well, only after you have been baptized can you truly step into the door of the mysterious side. This is also the reason why I brought you here today."

"This is the world created by our ancestors, covered by His power. Even if we say the names of those traitors here, He will not notice it, let alone just a baptism." Duke Lenka said calmly with a hint of pride in his tone.

"Is it okay after the baptism?"

Duke Lenka shook his head and walked out of the room, motioning as he walked:

"After baptism, you can only become Sequence 9 - Peeping Secrets. If you want to advance to Sequence 8 - Listener, or Sequence 7 - Light Chaser, you will need to accommodate more spirits yourself."

“How many sequences are there in total?”

"There are ten sequences in total, but even the royal family of the Chris Empire only has a way to advance from Sequence 9 to Sequence 4."

"Except for those churches with gods, we are the only ones who have a complete path to advancement."

Well, this is like a rat crossing the street holding a gold brick in its arms. He feels that his future is even more worrying.
