Rose didn't notice anything unusual. Or maybe she did and simply didn't show it. She looked at the statue with a complicated expression.
"The Four Sacred Clans worship him as the First Progenitor. His name isn't spoken casually, and his true bloodline is even more restricted. Most people in the Divine Realm only know the Four Sacred Clans as ancient human pillars, but very few know that our bloodline doesn't come from Primordials like ordinary humans. It comes from him."
Max asked calmly, "And this bloodline is why the Four Sacred Clans can rival the Primordials?"
Rose nodded. "Yes. Anyone who awakens even a trace of the forbidden bloodline becomes different. Their body, soul, laws, and inheritance all change. Every sacred clan carries the bloodline in a different way, and each branch expresses that power differently. Evercrest specializes in space, life, and sealed domains, but that's only the outer form. The source is still the same forbidden bloodline."
