After seeing everyone evolve into World Devourer Realm beings, we moved to my World Realm's [Primordial Dao Fragment Temple], a huge golden and white colored temple where I was able to place Dao Fragments and then let them grow inside through Dao Fragment Plants, which can then be picked up by others so they can absorb the Dao Fragments over time and transform them into their own Daos or combine multiple fragments to form their unique Daos.

Even now, it was being constantly used by my family and even by all my servants to grow stronger, and this is where I was going to give everyone the necessary ingredients so they could unlock Vampire Paths, or well, see how that works.

As reached that place and everyone walked inside with me, I took a peek at my Status and the gains I had acquired from those Vampires I back in Abyss.

[Vampiric Path Dao Inscriptions]

[Vampiric Path Dao Inscription: Demon Path] [Vampiric Path Dao Inscription: Curse Path] [Vampiric Path Dao Inscription: Beast Path] [Vampiric Path Dao Inscription: Twins Path]

First of all, I had these Fragments of the Dao of Vampiric Paths and the Vampiric Paths Divinity Fragments. It seemed that to use the Vampiric Paths, which was like their own original thingy, both the Dao and the Divinity were needed first.

And naturally, of course, a Blood Core, which is an internal organ inside of every Vampire and Vampiric Beast there that grants them the ability to cultivate both their bodies and souls rapidly, and which is also part of the whole Vampiric Paths cultivation process.

Their Ranks were also based in the Vampiric Ranks they had, and after I ate their Souls and obtained the information from their memories, I learned how their cultivation worked. It wasn't that different than other cultivation methods I've seen before.

Though this one involved a lot of Blood and Materials to continue progressing amongst other things. Also their Titles changed according to each Rank, as if they were Realms. It was quite interesting, though I can use my Spiritual Blood Heart as a replacement.

As of now, the strongest Vampires I fought were the Rank 9 twins, their Rank gave them the ability to summon some sort of "Blood Soul Treasures" Armor and Weapons which were born from their Blood Core and Soul, they seemed pretty strong.

"Anyways, he we are." I smiled. "First of all, let me explain to you how these powers, the Blood Cores, and the Bloodlines all work together to progress through this special and strange method of Cultivation the Vampires of Abyss utilize. It is called Vampiric Paths, and according to the paths they chose, their Bloodlines diverge and branch into many new abilities related to that Path."

"Interesting." Agatheina said. "I had never seen this power before, and that's saying something when I am the one that created the Vampires of Genesis, and I even created the Dao of Blood too!" She said. "I suppose my version of Vampires is, at the end of the day, much different than whatever is in Abyss. It feels like Abyss has developed around the power of Vampires for even longer than Genesis. Just how old is this world?"

"Blood God?" I asked him.

"I am fairly young compared to the world of Abyss." He sighed. "But honestly, at least a few dozen millions of years since I became the ruler, which made Vampires completely widespread. Before that, Vampires only belonged to the category of Creatures of the Night, which lived at one half of the world, while the other half was inhabited by the Celestials, the Creatures of Light. However, once I cultivated and rose to the pinnacle, becoming the Blood God, I changed the world and its rules, and made sure that the vampires became the true and only rulers! And now, it looks that in my absence, they have continued to improve and refine the techniques and powers I left behind."

"It's really interesting how different worlds change over time, becoming completely different than what they originally were." Said Alice with a slight fascination over Abyss. "I also want to visit Abyss, and meet those vampires… And maybe drink their blood and steal their powers as well, it seems really interesting!"

"Me too! Me too!" Alucard said.

"Haha, okay but only do so to those that have bad intentions or are not innocent, okay? We don't want to hunt down people that don't deserve such a fate." I smiled. "Luckily, I made a whole family of psychopaths obsessed with me, so we'll get a lot of fodder coming for us later."

"You're calling one of the Strongest Families of Vampires just a "family of psychopaths"?! You're the psychopath here, Kireina!" The Blood God barked.

"I know you're angry I'm messing with your descendants but pipe down, okay? You're here because I allow it after all." I looked down on him.

"A-Ah…! Ugh…" He groaned and fell silent.

"Anyways, for now, I will upgrade this palace using Cosmic Energy!" I smiled. "Once that's done, we'll begin. I need to first see if this works on the pure Vampires, such as Agatheina, Alice, Alucard, and the rest of the Vampires here. Once that's done, I'll see if it works on everyone else, including me just for the sake of it."

I waved my hand as streams of cosmic energy encompassed the entire temple. Its entire structure started to shake and transform, now resembling an even larger temple- no, it was more like a titanic palace. The decorations changed, resembling stars and galaxies spread across the dark blue walls.

The plants growing in the inside garden flourished and became enormous trees and grasses, and the Dao Fragments there gained hints of cosmic energy, reacting very positively as they grew into large Dao Fruits.

Ding!

[You have spent 10.000.000 Cosmic Energy-infused Essence! You have upgraded the [Primordial Dao Fragment Temple] Facility into the [Primordial Cosmic Dao Temple]!]
