"But aren't the descendants who can enter the Dark Chain Plane all priests of the Divine Spirit Realm? Wouldn't their disappearance without reason raise suspicion from the Divine Spirit Realm?" Dream Jia asked again.

Heinrich responded with certainty, "Of course it would! But don't forget, our descendants can enter the Dark Chain Plane because they become priests within the Dark Layer System, becoming Purifiers. Moreover, since they are all our descendants, we naturally have the right to directly recruit them under Unit P1557 Purification Squad's command, so they can thrive under our supervision!"

"And then, when we consume them, we can arrange for them to meet with 'accidents' during a survey operation in the Dark Chain Plane, citing the 'life risks in purifying missions in the Dark Chain Plane'. Furthermore, the Divine Spirit Realm typically only understands what happens in the Dark Chain Plane based on our reports, and Unit P1557's control is completely in our hands. As long as we prepare thoroughly beforehand, we can certainly conceal the true situation. Moreover, only once every three to four hundred years, or even longer, does a Purifier fall due to work accidents, making our squad's casualty rate very low compared to others. Therefore, the Divine Spirit Realm has no reason to suspect any foul play in the accidental deaths of our squad members!"

"How many lives do you still need to consume to completely escape the control of the Divine Spirit Realm?" Dao Lao asked.

"Well—judging by our current progress, we still have a long way to go before our strength undergoes a qualitative change. Moreover, the rate at which we conceive offspring is very limited. So, we don't know how long it will take until we reach the moment of true ascension," Heinrich estimated, responding.

At this point, Dream Jia seemed to think of something else, so she furrowed her brows and asked, "By the way, those dozen or so Purifiers who have always been around Elsie, they aren't all your descendants, are they?"

"Hmmph! Dream Lady guessed correctly. Indeed, they are all our descendants, all brothers and sisters related by blood to Mr. Hao. Of course, among them, some are half-siblings of Mr. Hao from the same father but different mothers, and some are half-siblings from the same mother but different fathers. Hehehe!" Heinrich replied with a slightly sinister tone.

Mr. Hao also frowned upon hearing this, but to prevent himself from delving deeper into the backgrounds of these so-called siblings, he shook his head vigorously and continued to ask, "Aren't you afraid that once they know about the fate awaiting them, they will resist you?"

After chuckling a few times, Heinrich replied, "Rest assured! Our descendants brought to the Dark Chain Plane are initially sent on various terrain exploration tasks in the Dark Chain Plane, so we can find suitable alternatives for the Destroyed World big backup list that enters the lower realm. During this process, Eve and Adam deliberately let them come into contact with the energy in the Dark Chain Plane and subtly domesticate them through this energy medium and the divine bloodline connection between them and their descendants, making them unconsciously brainwashed to be completely loyal to us. In this way, even if they learn about our plans, they will not have rebellious thoughts. Instead, they will strive to improve themselves to make the necessary contributions to our plan!"

Heinrich wiped his mouth with the back of his hand where no saliva existed, as if he had remembered the delicious energy inside those descendants. Mr. Hao naturally didn't want to hear Heinrich describe how they swallowed those descendants and the perverted remarks about how swallowing those descendants could get better mouthfeel. So, he snorted coldly and bent sourly, "Humph! So you just want to swallow them up, I thought you would train them to be stallions for breeding descendants!"

When Heinrich heard Hao Yun say this, he couldn't help but smile, and his eyes flashed with a more evil look, saying, "Hehehe! Who said it wasn't?! If among our descendants, there is really a man who can meet the standard of breeding for years, you can't say it's really useful!"

Perverted! Heinrich is really a pervert! When Hao Yun heard these words, the three of them couldn't help but feel sick again in their hearts, and they wanted to shield their hearing to prevent them from hearing more perverted remarks from Heinrich. Unexpectedly, Heinrich's perverted smile disappeared in an instant, suddenly without any warning, and turned into a face of fear. Then, Heinrich shouted with a trembling voice, "No! We can't do that! That's too terrible! They can't be involved in the work of reproducing descendants! They—they are all delicious food! Only powerful priests like me have the qualifications to bear offspring with them! I— they—they're all mine! Let me come, let me come!"

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

Hao Yun noticed that Heinrich's hysterical words at the end were obviously changing into a weak plea, and his face was filled with endless greed and desire. Guardian Uryll, who stood aside to watch the excitement, saw this and made a gesture of lightly coughing, covering his mouth with his thumb, and then reminded him, "Cough, cough, cough! Heinrich, you unrepentant scumbag, can you pay attention to your appearance?"

Heinrich seemed to realize his own loss of control just now, so he hurriedly knocked hard on his withered skull and worked hard to calm down his body, which was shaking with clicks and clatter due to excitement, before saying, "Oops! I mean, not all priests are qualified to participate in our reproduction. Because when reproducing offspring, Eve and Elsie sisters have very high requirements for the spiritual body, so far, only Adam and I can do this job."

Although Heinrich's mood looked very bad at the moment, everyone could still hear that he was very happy about his ability to participate in the work of reproducing offspring. So, in order to give Heinrich another blow, Dream Jia smiled coldly and said without politeness, "Humph! Since you play such an important role in the work of reproducing offspring, I'm even more curious why Eve and Elsie had to give up on you with such pain."

"Ah! It's my fault, all my greed! Otherwise—sigh!" Heinrich answered with frustration, but he couldn't continue his words halfway through, unable to bear it. It was clear that Dream Jia's verbal strike had hit Heinrich's sore spot effectively.

Next, Heinrich expressed his loyalty to the Realm of Spirits. He talked about how devoted he was to upholding the interests of the Realm and how diligently he carried out purification tasks. After saying these things, Heinrich reluctantly admitted how he had gradually fallen into corruption, eventually collaborating with Eve and others to plan their escape from the Realm of Spirits. According to Heinrich, the turning point that led him from a loyal priest of the Realm to an accomplice of Eve was Elsie and Flos' sisters.

Heinrich stated that the key to his promotion to a quasi-intermediate priest was his usually disciplined character. Even within the Dark Link plane, he staunchly maintained the noble conduct of the Realm of Spirits and adhered strictly to their highest moral principles when executing purification tasks. As for what Heinrich referred to as "noble conduct" and "highest moral principles," the three of them responded with a cold, mocking smile in their hearts and did not want to comment further.

In short, Heinrich upheld this "noble" conduct and worked hard within the Dark Link plane to ensure the smooth operation of the Realm of Spirits. He really liked his job and was very willing to invest himself fully in it. For a time, the P1557 Purification Team under his leadership became a model worker in the Dark Layer system. This was also why the Dark Layer system assigned Eve and Adam to him.

According to Heinrich's account, Eve and Adam had actually joined other purification teams shortly after joining the Sacred Mission for External Expansion. It was only later, after the P1557 team gained some reputation, that they voluntarily applied for a transfer here. Initially, Heinrich naturally felt very proud of the addition of these two senior system priests who were actively courted by the Dark Layer system because he believed that Eve and Adam voluntarily requested to be transferred to his team because his team had achieved outstanding results in purification work.

However, what Heinrich did not know was that Eve and Adam had already glimpsed a mysterious power in the Dark Link plane by chance while carrying out purification tasks with other teams before. Their true purpose in requesting a transfer to the P1557 team was because Heinrich had become an important target when Eve and Adam planned to escape from the Realm of Spirits.

The reason Heinrich became such an important target was partly because he was a quasi-intermediate priest. If Eve could conceive life with Heinrich, the quality of their offspring would be much greater than that of the offspring conceived with Adam. This meant that when these offspring matured, they could provide them with richer energy. On the other hand, it was also because Eve and Adam, using their abilities as intelligence experts, learned that the biggest original sin of Heinrich, which was cleansed by the Realm of Spirits upon his promotion to the sacred spirit, was lust.

"Lust?" Rean looked at Heinrich with a strange expression.

Heinrich was very frank and said, "Yes, it was lust. In fact, before I was promoted to the Holy Spirit, I was not very disciplined in my private life as a lower creature. Of course, I existed in this eccentric race and was over-cultured. But except for being overly influenced by this bizarre race culture, other nature was extremely positive. Therefore, it was precisely because I benefited from abiding by the culture of the race while actively cultivating my nature that I finally broke through the restrictions of the race, touched the powerful talents hidden deep within me, and made the Realm of Spirits willing to take me under their wing."

"Ah! So many years have passed. After becoming a fan of the highest moral standards of the Realm of Spirits, I have long quit lust. Instead, whenever I think of my chaotic private life back then, I will feel a deep sense of self-blame. Under the baptism of the Realm of Spirits and the principle sealing, I have finally been successfully shaped into a gentleman!" Heinrich recounted his situation proudly when he first joined the Realm of Spirits, while Rean's trio watched him coldly, watching him self-conceitedly boasting. Because for Rean and them, whether it was the so-called highest moral standards of Heinrich or the positive image of the gentleman, it was only driven by his morbid values.
