Only pure-blooded vampires counted as their people.
Vesa said this calmly, then added, "You will understand the real reason for this in the future.
Now, for the benefit, first, I shared some information about both of you so you could know each other better."
Her ruby eyes shone. A stream of information poured into Alex and Mingyue's minds.
They both stiffened, then looked at each other.
The knowledge was about their worlds and brief details about their lives.
Mingyue came from the Xueqi family, a middle-level cultivation family in her world.
Later, she trained in the Blue Lotus Sect.
As for Alex, Mingyue was shocked to learn that his world was filled with technology.
A small desire formed in her heart. She wanted to visit his world.
The difference in entertainment between the two worlds was huge.
In her mind, it was like comparing a small mound to a high mountain.
'So cultivation worlds really exist, not just in novels,' Alex thought.
He sorted through the information.
'The highest known cultivation is immortal, but there should be higher realms and higher worlds.
If I could cultivate and use this information, I could raise my family's wealth. Then Mom would stop nagging me.'
For Alex, his mother's nagging was his greatest enemy.
Nothing felt worse than that. Not even the evil apocalyptic dragon, or the strange things happening now.
He actually felt excited.
He had grown bored of reading the same type of novel with the same repetitive plots, and bored of constant grinding in games.
Vesa continued, "As you become closer to being a progenitor, my power will also grow.
I will be able to allow you to move between worlds.
For now, my ability only allows for this kind of meeting or sending small items between your worlds.
"Other than this, since both of you share the same source of power, you should be able to talk to each other telepathically anytime.
The System will also help you use other progenitors' abilities to maximize your growth.
"For example, King, with the System, could help find the most suitable person you need for a job, as it constantly detects people's auras around you.
As for Queen, it could help you look for any treasure.
Not only that, but when you want to practice alchemy or your secret art, I will help you figure out the most efficient way to do it."
"So it is basically the ERX chip function," Alex mumbled.
He stepped closer to Mingyue and held out his hand.
"No matter what, our lives are linked now," he said. "I will properly introduce myself.
I am Alex Campbell, the only son of the Campbell family."
Mingyue frowned.
"What only son? You still have a sister."
Alex chuckled. "As you said, she is the only daughter, and I am the only son."
Mingyue looked confused for a moment, then realized he was just joking.
She shook his hand.
"I am Mingyue. You should already know my family.
And honestly, you have a bad sense of humor. Can't you see our situation?"
Alex laughed. He enjoyed the handshake and noticed how soft her palm felt.
He did not release her hand.
"You are too serious," he said. "There is nothing we can do about our circumstances for now.
Let me be direct, then. I want a cultivation method.
In exchange, I will get you something from my world."
"You should know the cultivation method I use is my family's secret," Mingyue said.
"I can't just give it to you like that. Even if I did, we need to find out your element and talent grade first."
Vesa cut in. "My Queen, he is the King, not a stranger.
And as I said before, both of your bodies have been transformed.
Even an All Elemental Heavenly grade talent falls short now compared to his talent.
A half-vampire in Eldonia could easily crush an immortal in your world. And both of you have progenitor blood."
Mingyue's eyes lit up.
"Wait, you are saying he is even more talented than those heavenly-chosen geniuses because you transformed his body?
Does that mean it is the same for me?"
"Yes, my Queen," Vesa said. "But I suggest you do not tell anyone in your world about it."
Mingyue scoffed. "Vesa, do you think I am stupid?
It is dog-eat-dog in the cultivation world. I will only trust my own clan and parents."
"Queen, I know you will not believe me now, but I mean including them," Vesa replied.
"When you go back later on with the System, you will be able to feel their intentions toward you.
You will understand later."
Mingyue frowned. She looked like she wanted to argue.
Alex spoke first. "Just hide it for now, Mingyue.
You will lose nothing anyway. So, where do we stand on the cultivation technique?"
"Give me time, Alex," she said. "I need to think about it first.
I also need to consider what I want from your world."
"Alright," he said. "Just tell me after you have decided, or if you need anything."
He turned to Vesa.
"How do we become progenitors? Do we just wait until the blood finishes changing our bodies?"
Vesa laughed. "If only it were that easy, King.
Other than the blood both of you received, the progenitor ability is split into many things across many worlds.
But do not worry, I know all their locations.
When I feel both of you are strong enough, I will start giving you some quests to take them back."
Her expression suddenly changed. She frowned.
"Queen, you should return first.
I have moved you into a forest near the secret realm entrance, and I sensed some movement coming close to you."
"Alright, see you later, Vesa, Alex," Mingyue said.
Her body turned translucent, then vanished.
Alex's hand closed on empty air.
He pulled it back and looked at the small pink creature floating in front of him.
"Vesa, what are the characteristics of the vampire race? You should know how they are portrayed in my world."
