Coming up with a new bloodline wasn’t as easy as it sounded. But Xiang Yu didn’t think it would be a problem. He already had enough divine power to create the bloodline. All he needed to do was the easiest part - compile the conceptual essence.
He needed to create an essence that would then be turned into bloodline essence by the divine power. This essence needed to be what embodied him the most. He didn’t need to make it strong and complicated. His other bloodlines were already powerful as is. What he needed to do was make it a linking point, as it would work as the bridge between his other bloodlines.
Even so, he wasn’t going to just half-ass it.
He thought of the features he wanted. The first thing he thought of was his dao bodies. He collected their essence. He did the same for all the other three thousand laws. Although he didn’t have a physique for them, the law essence would definitely be useful.
He then focused on the absolute source. He absolutely needed this. All concepts came from it, so it was fair to say they were all compatible with it. Even its own extreme opposite was part of itself, so how could it be incompatible with anything?
He used the absolute source concept as the main building block.
He then began picking some other aspects from the bloodlines to boost compatibility just in case. After doing this, he brought all this together into one condensed essence. It was all conceptual though. Now he just needed to use divine power to realize this.
He didn’t know if he was being rash. After all, he might be able to use this energy to turn the situation around during the fight with the sage. But he felt he had to do this. If he did this, his power would definitely increase to levels never before seen. And when that happened, he could face the sage without relying on these uncertainties.
In the end, his power was the most important.
Before he could make the bloodline essence, he decided to add some conceptual aspects he felt he might need. He remembered how his four mythical bloodlines advanced by violence. He decided to have something similar for his bloodline.
It wasn’t through hatred. Rather, he sparked a concept of evolution through his absolute source law. At the manifestation realm, he could spark vague concepts like this at tiny amounts.
This evolution aspect - he didn’t know how it would be in the final product, but he felt it would definitely be something good.
With that, he felt it was ready. He summoned all the divine power he had, putting it all into this conceptual essence he had made. Instantly, the divine power began doing its thing, slowly transforming the conceptual essence according to his will.
Slowly, the conceptual essence began condensing even more as it bathed in the divine power.
It then slowly began changing into a red color like blood. It then changed to blue. Xiang Yu was surprised by this. Then golden. It then changed again into a multicolored substance. It stayed like this for a long time before finally, it became completely transparent.
...
Xiang Yu smiled as the bloodline essence dropped to his palm.
Being transparent symbolized a blank canvas. It wasn’t a strong bloodline - it was just a canvas upon which he would pave his path. The concepts he’d put into it were all just small stuff.
If he overwhelmed it with so much concentration, it might refuse to fuse with the others. That’s why he made it like this. Although it had many concepts in it, it was all superficial stuff to allow it to be compatible with anything.
It was like training its taste.
Although he used a lot of absolute source, that one didn’t matter as it was compatible with anything.
As for the other concepts, although what he used was just superficial stuff, he didn’t think it mattered. If he could merge the bloodline with the others and have them advance to primordial rank, just like before when he used fission, the new bloodline would upgrade these concepts to match the bloodline level.
He absorbed the bloodline essence into himself. He didn’t feel any changes. He hadn’t expected to - it was just a blank canvas after all. But the real fun was just about to begin. If these were merged and upgraded, then its true power would show.
He looked at the system screen before him and clicked the fusion function. He then selected the seven bloodlines. His eyes instantly brightened when he saw all of them show compatibility. It was all thanks to the new bloodline.
Speaking of, even though he had created the bloodline, he was still in pure blood level rather than progenitor. It seemed you really couldn’t be a progenitor with more than one bloodline.
Anyway, this was good. If his bloodline had advanced to progenitor, all the abilities within would have also been upgraded, making them more dominant and lowering the chances of fusion. It was good they would only be upgraded as he fused them and they entered the primordial rank.
He then pressed the fuse button in the system interface.
"Let’s see if you’ll really reach the primordial stage."
Instantly after pressing the button, he felt a burning sensation.
"Wait, what’s burning again? Is it burning or freezing? Destruction? No, creation? What was it again?"
He couldn’t understand what was happening anymore.
After the fusion, all the concepts inside the bloodline had instantly tried to advance to match the bloodline level. And with advancement came conflict between the concepts that didn’t like each other - like chaos and order. Creation and destruction. Heavenly way and transcendence. Combat and literature. Life and death.
All these concepts were being pushed to the extreme.
But just as they were about to overwhelm Xiang Yu, the absolute source concept that made up the majority of the bloodline finally acted. It released an aura that suppressed all the other concepts.
It then extended its form like a tree, branches forming and connecting to every one of the concepts in the new bloodline. With it overseeing everything, the bloodline advanced smoothly.
