Big Capitalist

The church was in a dilapidated state, with the walls covered with mottled cracks and the paint peeling off, revealing the rough bricks and stones inside.

There were several holes in the roof, and sunlight slanted in from the holes, forming beams of light with dust flying in them.

The corner is filled with worn-out tables, chairs and sundries, as if it were a corner forgotten by time.

There were dozens of figures gathered inside, of various races.

There are tall, muscular orcs with rough skin, thick hair, and a wild aura; there are agile elves with long pointed ears, lively eyes, and innate elegance; there are short but agile goblins with a unique green skin and cunning eyes; there are also several stern-faced humans with serious expressions and the vicissitudes of life they have experienced.

When Daisy and Gibberne arrived, everyone looked at them.

Standing in the middle of the statue is a bishop wearing a robe made of animal skin. There are faint mysterious patterns on the animal skin, as if telling an ancient story.

Next to him stood a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar, wearing a pair of exquisite glasses and holding a thick book in his hands, giving people a sense of wisdom.

When Daisy and Gibbon appeared, the bishop was startled at first, but soon regained his composure. He walked forward with steady steps and asked with concern, "What happened?"

When the scholar saw Daisy and Gibbon appear, he nodded and said softly to the bishop, "There are still some things that need to be dealt with when we return."

Then he gently pushed the door open and left, his movements graceful and quick.

Daisy and Gibberne told each other the whole story.

After hearing this, the bishop nodded, then turned his gaze to Merlin and asked, "Who is he?"

Merlin looked at the bishop. Daisy first introduced him to him: "This is Bishop North. He believes in Gaia, the Earth Goddess. He is also the one who leads us in the fight against the forces that hunt the bloodline of the God of War."

Then Daisy turned to introduce Merlin to Bishop North, but suddenly froze: "Huh?" She didn't seem to ask Merlin's name.

Seeing this, Merlin took the initiative to say, "My name is Leo Merlin, and I'm from the Leo family."

"The Leo family!" Upon hearing this, those in the church who had the blood of the God of War all turned their eyes to Merlin.

The Leo family is famous for the inheritance of the God of War bloodline, and Merlin is even more famous in many fields.

Bishop North looked at Merlin in shock and asked, "Are you Merlin?"

Merlin was a little confused: "Do you know me?"

North replied, "The president of the Arcane Academy, the one who changed the Arcane Academy, the current controller of the Arcane City, who wouldn't recognize him?"

At this time, Daisy spoke: "Bishop North, since he is from the Leo family, he must have the blood of the God of War. My blood crystal also proves this, but... he opened the domain in front of us, so..."

"The realm has been opened?" Upon hearing this, all the descendants with the blood of the God of War present stood up and looked at Merlin in shock.

Merlin was stunned for a moment, muttering to himself: No, I opened the domain myself, is there any need to be so shocked?

Merlin looked at Bishop North and found that he had a calm expression.

He is worthy of being a bishop, his mentality is different.

"Are you sure, Daisy? Did he really expand his domain?" A lizardman walked forward and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes! I'm sure!" Daisy answered firmly.

The lizard man immediately walked up to Merlin, put his hands on Merlin's shoulders, and asked nervously: "How did you do it? How can you open the domain?"

What do you mean? Are you looking down on me like that?

Merlin was somewhat helpless and said, "What's wrong with you? It's just opening a domain. As long as you reach the level of a high-level magician, it should be possible, right?"

"How is that possible!" Ji Ben couldn't help but say, "Those of us who possess the blood of God may not be able to open our domains in our lifetime. Look, Daisy and I have both reached level five, but do we have domains? No!"

"Why is that?" Merlin was very curious.

The lizardman said anxiously, "I'm already a sixth-level expert, but I still can't open my domain. The fundamental reason is that my bloodline awakening is not enough."

"Bloodline awakening?" Merlin was unfamiliar with this.

At this time, Bishop North explained, "The bloodline of the God of War grants us a stronger physique, more powerful magic, and even certain special parts and organs inherit the power of the God of War. However, this power is both a blessing and a curse, for how can a human bear the power of a god?"

"Because the divine blood flowing in our bodies, no matter how weak, still possesses some divinity. If we cannot fully awaken the 'sleeping' bloodline of the God of War within our bodies, we will not be able to control this power, and naturally we will not be able to open our domain."

"A domain is the embodiment of a series of forces, including mind, body, magic, soul, and spirit. As those of us imbued with divine aura, we do not own it until we have completely mastered the power of the War God's bloodline. Without complete control of this power, we cannot awaken our domain, as the War God's power interferes with us. Only by thoroughly digesting the War God's bloodline and transforming this power into something we can control can we awaken our domain. And because we possess divinity and divine power, the domain we awaken will inevitably be the strongest. Some of the domain's powers are even powers that only gods can wield."

"Is this the case?" Merlin asked silently in his heart.

Moon Goddess Selene agreed with the bishop's statement: "That's indeed the case, little devil. Don't think that just because you've been with me for so long, you can look down on the so-called gods. The power and prestige of gods are beyond your imagination."

"Stronger than the dictatorial Emperor Huang Tian?" Merlin quipped in his heart.

The Moon Goddess Selene was silent for a moment, then said helplessly: "...That's not the case!"

Merlin sneered inwardly, thinking: That's it? And you still say it's unimaginable?

The moon goddess Selene felt depressed: Damn, this kid is pretending again.

Bishop North looked at Merlin with a burning gaze, his face filled with surprise and anticipation, and said, "Since Merlin can expand his domain, it means that his bloodline has awakened and he has successfully merged the bloodline of the God of War with his own bloodline."

Bishop North slowly walked up to Merlin, smiling kindly, as if he had seen a rare treasure. "This might be the only successful case of a bloodline awakening in the past hundred years, or even the past thousand years. How did you do it?"

Everyone else present also focused their attention on Merlin, their eyes filled with curiosity and desire.
