Chapter 736: Chapter 736 – Abnormal
Following Charlie’s movements, the three coffins were opened individually, revealing what was inside.
Chen Heng looked forward. There were naturally three corpses inside the three coffins. However, unlike the girl’s corpse last time, all the three corpses this time were male. One was an old man in a linen robe covered in corpse spots; one was still a young child, looking around four or five years old, while the other was a burly middle-aged man who seemed to be in his prime.
Overall, these three corpses looked peaceful and were not distorted or ferocious, as if they had died normally. However, one would know it was impossible just by thinking about it. Probably the old man, yes, but the other two corpses, one was an adult, and the other was a child. So how could they have died normally?
Chen Heng looked at the three corpses before him and couldn’t help but fall into deep thought. It was fine the last time, but now, he couldn’t help but have a doubt in his heart looking at the three corpses.
‘Where did the people from the King’s Council gather these corpses? What was the source of these corpses? Why did they die like this?’
Although Chen Heng hadn’t conducted a detailed examination, he could feel that these three corpses were genuine royal bloodlines though they weren’t from the royal families of the three great empires. No test would be required if they were indeed from the royal families of the three great empires. Just Chen Heng’s bloodline would react.
In the past, the royal families of the three great empires intermarried. Hence each carried the other’s bloodlines. So, for example, Chen Heng’s grandmother was said to be a princess of the Gilna Empire. Therefore, even if the members of the three royal families didn’t do anything, they would be able to feel a sense of familiarity just by standing there, which was different from ordinary people.
However, Chen Heng did not feel this way through these three corpses. Therefore, they weren’t members of the three royal families. Nonetheless, if that’s the case, there’s another problem.
They were not from the three royal families, but their bloodlines were not inferior to the three royal families. It would be reasonable if there were only one such person, but how could there be so many of them? If there were so many lost royal bloodlines in the world, then there would not only be royal families of the three great empires in this world.
Based on what Chen Heng knew, in the long history, the other royal families that had the primogenitor bloodline had already declined in the past years. This is because their bloodlines were merged or devoured by other royal families, or they gradually fell into decline and became some small n.o.ble families.
Nowadays, there were also occasional atavisms among some small n.o.ble families, where some geniuses with the primogenitor’s bloodline were comparable to the royal families. However, such people were very rare. Every time they appeared, they would be targeted by countless people and directly put on record.
Therefore, these corpses sent by the King’s Council had not been recorded or discovered.
‘It’s fine if he’s an old man, but if he kills a growing royal for a particular purpose, that would be too insane…’ This thought flashed through Chen Heng’s mind as he s.h.i.+fted his gaze at the child’s corpse for a moment.
After thinking for a while, Charlie’s voice sounded from the side, “Sir, do I still have to stay?”
Charlie looked at Chen Heng awkwardly and asked, as he was prepared to leave after opening the coffin but was pending Chen Heng’s orders. Hence, he had no choice but to stand there, not daring to leave without orders.
“You did well.” Chen Heng returned to his senses and noticed a living person before him. Looking at Charlie, he nodded and continued, “You can go first. I’ll call you again if I have anything later.”
“Okay.” Charlie secretly heaved a sigh of relief and quickly left, leaving Chen Heng alone in the huge laboratory. Then, Chen Heng thought for a moment and began to move.
Previously, he devoured the bodies when he got them because he did not think too much. However, Chen Heng was ready to do a detailed examination this time. So he picked up the scalpel and started the examination using his spiritual power.
“First is the flesh...” A weak voice sounded, followed by a series of sounds of sharp knives cutting through flesh and blood.
A wound was cut open, and crimson blood started dripping. Chen Heng looked at the blood and tried to sense it in detail, but he did not find anything wrong.
There was nothing wrong with the blood. It was indeed the blood of a bloodline life-form, carrying a unique aura. It was the terrifying origin of the primogenitor bloodline. The only thing that was lacking was that the vitality in it was somewhat withered.
As a result, it looked far inferior to flesh and blood of an ordinary royal family member. However, it was still considered normal, considering that these were all corpses and had been dead for an unknown period. So it wasn’t anything strange.
Then, Chen Heng continued his examination and thoroughly inspected every body part. However, these corpses looked normal no matter where he looked. There was nothing strange about them.
“Could they be real?” Chen Heng frowned as this thought flashed through his mind.
Then, as the examination continued, Chen Heng finally found something unusual. Although these three corpses were normal in every part of their bodies, they had one thing in common— rejection. The three corpses had all experienced the reaction of bloodline rejection, and their flesh and blood had shown signs of collapsing.
‘Bloodline rejection…’ Chen Heng couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
Bloodline rejection was a phenomenon that happened to many bloodline powerhouses. Bloodline powerhouses were powerful because of their bloodlines, but they were also deeply affected.
Sometimes, a rejection reaction would occur when their bloodlines were too active or abnormal. The bloodline factors in the body of a bloodline master would instinctively devour the normal flesh and blood in their body, causing their body to collapse.
Once this happened, they would be turned into trash and death at worst. Unfortunately, this also led to bloodline rejection being called a bloodline disease, a problem that troubled many bloodline masters. However, such circ.u.mstances should be very rare.
What troubled most of the bloodlines was not the active bloodline factors in their bodies but the fact that the bloodline factors were too quiet. As a result, they could not obtain enormous power, even causing their bloodlines to be unable to be awakened.
Among King Violet’s children, other than Chen Heng and the other two, the rest encountered such a situation. The bloodline factors in their bodies were too quiet, causing their bloodlines to be unable to awaken, and they could only become ordinary people.
