Sixth Ring Wizard

Chapter 718 718: Descendants

From that day onwards, Herag truly began the step of propagation.

Although Erza was enthusiastic, she wasn't the first to have a child.

Reese was the earliest, giving Herag a son after ten months of pregnancy.

Herag named him Golden Merlin, possessing a complete infinite bloodline power.

Herag carefully examined him; his aptitude was top-notch, his constitution strong, and his talent extraordinary.

His future cultivation speed is bound to be swift, naturally possessing infinite bloodline power, which was even better than Herag anticipated.

With infinite bloodline power, no matter which power system he cultivates, he can grow rapidly.

Erza brought Herag a second child, a daughter, whom Herag named Christina Merlin.

This daughter also possessed a complete infinite bloodline power and had top-tier aptitude.

After having two children, Herag, while happy, also pondered over a question.

That is whether such bloodline power could be inherited continuously?

Herag suddenly realized that if future generations intermixed with others with different bloodline powers, the infinite bloodline power would be diluted to a certain extent.

In the initial few generations, there would be no impact.

Because the infinite bloodline power is too powerful, even if offspring are produced with other bloodlines, there will still be a complete inheritance of infinite bloodline power.

However, after many generations, if every generation intermixes with other bloodlines, the infinite bloodline power will gradually be diluted.

Until many generations later, it will be difficult for descendants to possess a complete infinite bloodline power.

Herag thought of many wizard families who, to maintain bloodline purity, only allowed marriages within the family.

Many wizard families are very large, with enough people, so there are no ethical issues.

However, this is still a restriction, significantly limiting the freedom of descendants.

Herag naturally did not wish to do this, nor would he impose such restrictions on his descendants.

He also does not pursue the strength of the family; he doesn't need to rely on descendants to maintain family power.

For Herag, as long as he exists, the Merlin family will never decline.

As for the issue of bloodline dilution, Herag doesn't mind.

His offspring will have their fortune, and all choices are in their hands; he will not interfere excessively.

Having understood these issues, Herag also raised them within the family, requiring that no one in the family demands marriages within the family or interferes with the freedom of descendants in these aspects.

His ability to make such a decision was undoubtedly because he was strong enough.

No matter what trouble arises, as long as he intervenes, everything can be resolved, which stems from confidence in his power.

With him standing at the top, descendants can enjoy a certain degree of freedom, with many problems not needing concern.

...

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a century had passed.

The Merlin family had become the undisputed number one family in the Wizard Plane, and every descendant from the Merlin family was a prodigy.

Golden Merlin began learning the "Starry Sky Meditation Technique" at three, became an official wizard at seven, advanced to a Level 2 Wizard at ten, and to a Level 3 Wizard at twelve.

By seventeen, he was already a Level 4 Wizard.

At twenty-five, he advanced to a Level 5 Wizard.

By thirty, he had advanced to a Level 7 Wizard.

More astonishingly, Golden successfully cultivated the "Mother River Meditation Method" at fifty, advancing to a Level 7 Legendary Wizard.

He became the second in the Wizard Plane to advance to a Level 7 Legendary Wizard after Herag.

Such talent and advancement speed were terrifying, making everyone in the Wizard Plane recognize the strength of the Merlin family's bloodline.

As long as the bloodline is strong, cultivation would almost have no obstacles, progressing smoothly.

Herag's eldest daughter, Christina, was equally talented, with an advancement speed only slightly slower than Golden.

Besides the two of them, Herag's other descendants were also outstanding.

Herag had a total of seventeen first-generation children, including a son and a daughter from Lillian.

In recent years, Herag had not had any more offspring; he did not wish for Reese and others to become his progeny tools—having two or three children per person was enough.

He had been uninvolved in worldly affairs for many years, with many matters not requiring his intervention.

Only very important issues would be reported to him.

Many issues, seemingly troublesome and difficult at the lower level, could be easily resolved once Herag intervened.

Over these years, Herag's main focus remained in the Mother River.

He had traversed far from the initial riverbed position, though the river surface was still far away.

This was despite his ability to sense the river surface's location, knowing the direction and distance, and continuously advancing upwards.

At this time, Herag genuinely felt the challenge of transcending the Mother River.

Ordinary Dominators and Ancestors could not sense the position's existence, nor knew which direction the river surface was.

In such a situation, it would be like a headless fly, blindly colliding.

Herag, knowing the clear direction, had been moving upward for over a hundred years, yet was still far from the river surface.

If not for feeling the decreasing distance to the river surface, he would have doubted if he could ever reach it.

Herag was patient and calm, immersing his mind, daily bathing in the Mother River, heading toward the river surface.

During this hundred years, the Wizard Plane experienced significant changes.

The fusion of the Wizard Plane and Boundary Land had been completed, with Boundary Land officially disengaging from the Abyss Plane, merging with the Wizard Plane.

In the sea north of the Kala Continent, there stood a massive teleportation gate, leading to the Boundary Land, guarded and managed by dedicated personnel.

After the fusion, the Boundary Land chose its entry point in the sea outside Herag's Northern Territory.

Through this teleportation gate, one could reach the Boundary Land directly, and those from the Boundary Land could enter the Wizard Plane from here.

Islands near that sea area had already developed into densely populated island cities, bustling with activity.

Under normal circumstances, Boundary Land and Wizard Plane were completely open, allowing free access.

Unless one was a fugitive, verifying the wizard's mark allowed entry and exit.

Boundary Land now belonged to the Wizard Plane, though formally like another space, equivalent to a small plane.

However, this small plane was different from ordinary small planes, being rather special.

With Herag overseeing the Northern Territory, the teleportation gate remained peaceful, with no one daring to cause trouble here.
