The Reversal of Heaven Begins with The Smiling, Proud Wanderer

He knew that the pain of being betrayed by his "closest relatives" would take time to process.

A moment later, Selena's roar subsided, replaced by a chilling stillness and coldness.

Tyrese chuckled dryly, “The truth hurts more than sunlight, doesn’t it? I advised Victor to show mercy. He shouldn’t have killed your whole family, and he shouldn’t have turned you into a vampire. He was unhappy with me, so he banished me here.”

"certainly not."

Selena raised her head and gave Tyrese a cold look: "You were banished by William because you knew about him."

Tyrese swallowed nervously: "I can arrange for someone to help you deal with Victor, on the condition that you spare my life."

"I don't think it's necessary."

Lin Mu raised his hand, and a throwing knife flashed, instantly ending the lives of Tyrese and the other female vampires.

The moment Tyrese fell, Lin Mu's golden eyes glowed slightly.

He is using his ability to rewind time to extract information about Alexander Corvinus from Tyrese's memories.

Countless images and fragments of memory flooded into his consciousness, forming a complete picture.

Selena looked at Lin Mu thoughtfully: "You helped me to find Alexander Corvin. Do you want to live forever?"

In Tyrese's memories, she also saw the origins of vampires and werewolves.

Alexander Kovinus was originally a Hungarian warrior in the sixth century who survived a plague, but the virus altered his genes, making him immortal.

He later had three sons: his eldest son Marcus was bitten by a bat and became a vampire; his second son William was bitten by a wolf and became a werewolf; and his last son retained his human bloodline.

However, this bloodline gradually thins and cannot maintain its youthfulness.

Lin Mu readily admitted, "I am indeed somewhat interested. Alexander Corvinus's blood can help you evolve, making you unafraid of sunlight and even freeing you from the need to suck blood for survival. I want to use his blood for research, which would be a good thing for you as well."

"Pleasant to work with."

Selena would naturally not refuse the ability to become stronger and immune to sunlight, something every vampire longs for.

If she could, she wouldn't want to continue living by sucking blood.

Before dawn, the two immediately headed to Alexander Corvinus's estate.

Having lived for over a thousand years, Alexander accumulated immense wealth and power, possessing his own private army and becoming a veritable warlord.

But none of this mattered to Lin Mu.

The weapons of this era pose no threat to him, a planetary-level being; under the Sky Shuttle, all beings are equal.

They easily breached the manor's defenses, dealt with Alexander Corvinus's men, and finally found the original immortal in a heavily guarded secret chamber.

Alexander looked like a dignified old man of about sixty years old, with his silver hair neatly combed back and his eyes filled with the wisdom and vicissitudes accumulated over thousands of years.

He held an ancient cane in his hand, inlaid with a rare sapphire (Qian Wang Zhao).

“I anticipated that someone would come looking for me, but I didn’t expect it to be in this way.”

Alexander's voice was steady and powerful, carrying a weariness of having seen through the ways of the world.

Without uttering a single word, Lin Mu pierced Alexander's heart, neck, and limbs with several throwing knives in an instant.

The purest blood of the immortals was extracted by Lin Mu from a distance, forming a huge blood sphere that slowly rotated in the air.

Selena watched in shock as the legendary immortal was so easily subdued.

Lin Mu took out 500 milliliters of the blood of the immortal and handed it to Selena: "Drink it, and your body will begin to evolve."

Selena took the blood vial, hesitated for a moment, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Instantly, a warm current spread from her stomach to her whole body. She felt every cell cheering with joy, as if some dormant gene had been awakened and power surged through her veins.

Lin Mu was slightly disappointed that he didn't hear any side quest notifications.

The remaining 4500 milliliters of the immortal's blood were placed into a special container and then stored in the system space.

This blood can be taken back to clone, and if successful, it will provide a continuous supply of the blood of immortals.

Whether used to refine elixirs, make reagents, or train subordinates, it's quite good.

Having taken away all of Alexander's assets, the first rays of sunlight slowly rose on the distant horizon.

Selena mustered her courage and placed her hand in the warm sunlight. She didn't feel the burning sensation, only the long-lost warmth of the sun.

Then, Selena stepped into the sunlight and embraced the morning sun.

Chapter 120: The Substitute World

After absorbing Alexander's blood, Selena felt her body undergo a transformation.

She stood in the morning light, letting the sunlight bathe her entire body, feeling the warmth without pain for the first time in centuries.

Her senses became exceptionally sharp; she could hear the rustling of leaves a kilometer away and smell the scent deep within the soil.

Power surged through his limbs and bones, and his self-healing speed was astonishing; from then on, he became a daywalker.

However, the thirst for blood did not subside.

That familiar burning sensation still lingered in her throat, reminding her that her essence remained unchanged.

But at this moment, the ecstasy of seeing the sunlight again overwhelmed everything.

She turned to look at Lin Mu beside her; the golden light outlined his tall and imposing figure.

He gave her all of this.

Freedom, power, sunshine.

A burning gratitude and some deeper emotion surged within her.

Perhaps it was the dazzling sunlight, or perhaps her blood was still boiling, but she walked toward Lin Mu and gently stroked his cheek with her fingers, feeling its warmth.

This was the temperature of the sunlight, a feeling she had almost forgotten.

"Thank you, Lin."

Her voice was deep, with a long-lost softness.

Without another word, she kissed Lin Mu, her kiss carrying the unique coolness of a vampire and the fiery heat of new life. In the pouring sunlight, they completed this gift and resonance that was centuries overdue.

This is not just about desire, but also a declaration, a farewell to the dark ages of the past.

Lin Mu responded to her enthusiasm, and could feel the surging new life force within her.

Vampire Knight seems pretty good too.

Nice!

One day later.

On the outskirts of Budapest, the ancient castle, like a lurking beast, sits atop a mountain shrouded in dark clouds.

The cold stone walls are steeped in centuries of bloodshed and intrigue. This is the heart of the vampire lair, the final resting place and ruling ground of the three elders: Marcus, Victor, and Emilia.

Selena and Lin Mu stood at the edge of the distant forest, gazing at the sinful fortress.

There was no longer any confusion in her eyes, only a chilling killing intent and a sliver of expectation for liberation.

Lin Mu recalled the history of vampires.

Marcus is the progenitor of vampires, and he has lived for over a thousand years.

Victor and Amelia, who have lived for over six hundred years, were originally the lords of this land.

When William, the progenitor of werewolves, became a werewolf, he lost his humanity and could not return to human form; he was a beast through and through.

The werewolf bitten by William could not turn into a human and only possessed 867 of bestial nature.

They constantly attacked villages, creating many ferocious werewolves.

Fortunately, Britain at that time was sparsely populated, so these werewolves had not yet formed a large scale. In addition, they did not have much intelligence, and most of the people they captured would be eaten and killed. Only a few people would be transformed into werewolves.

Even so, Marcus was unable to stop it.

In order to capture his brother, Marcus found the terminally ill Victor and transformed him into a vampire. He then found Amelia and formed a vampire alliance.

The three men turned their minions into vampires and began fighting the werewolves. They eventually found William and the werewolves and captured them.

Victor and Amelia originally intended to kill William, but Marcus lied and claimed that he and William were the progenitors of vampires and werewolves, and that if they died, vampires and werewolves would also die.

Although it was a lie, Victor and Amelia didn't dare to gamble, so they secretly imprisoned William.

Because vampires live by drinking blood and are hostile to humans, they cannot create too many vampires in order to survive and continue their lineage. Otherwise, food would not be available and internal strife would definitely occur.

However, too many humans would pose a threat to vampires.

Especially during the day, under the sunlight, vampires dare not go out at all and can only hide in dark corners.

To deal with vampires, humans would take them out of their coffins during the day and kill them with sunlight.

Therefore, Victor began to tame werewolves, using them as guard dogs to keep humans away from the castle.

Until Lucien appeared.

Lucien's mother was bitten by a werewolf during her pregnancy. Although she turned into a werewolf, Lucien, the child she gave birth to, was able to become human, possessed reason, and was easier to tame.

Victor killed the old werewolves and began using Lucien to raise new werewolves.

Unexpectedly, Lucien got involved with his daughter and even got the vampire pregnant with the werewolf's child.

Two monsters, who knows what kind of monster they'll give birth to.

In order to maintain the vampire bloodline, the conservative Victor used sunlight to kill his daughter and grandson.

Lucien thus broke with Victor completely and led the werewolves and vampires in a war that lasted for hundreds of years.

Perhaps because werewolves are ugly and not very smart, and with the development of the times, vampires have acquired guns and cannons, and have gradually gained the upper hand in the war against werewolves.

In an attempt to change the situation, Lucien teamed up with his cousin Craven and staged a ruse, having Craven possess a wolf skin belonging to Lucien and claim that Craven had fooled him, thus gaining access to the center of vampire power.

Lucien faked his death and began to secretly amass power, intending to completely destroy the vampires.

In contrast, vampires make deals with those in power and mingle in high society.

By converting some high-ranking officials and granting them eternal life as leverage, they can use their power to protect themselves.

The vampire elders operate on a rotating leadership system.

Each elder reigns for a hundred years, then awakens another elder.

At present, the ruling elder of the vampires is Amelia, who is known as Bloody Mary.

As the only female among the three vampire elders, Amelia is a strong woman who believes in the principle of the capable rising to the top and the mediocre falling to the bottom.

She is also very skilled in interpersonal relationships, and her abilities surpass those of Victor.

Within the vampire's core lair, aside from the transformed nobles, the main groups are Death Walkers and Guards.

The Deathwalkers are an elite group of vampires, numbering less than a hundred, formed solely to hunt werewolves.

Selena was originally the captain of a squad.

The guards generally do not leave the castle, and are mainly responsible for protecting the safety of the elders.

There are hundreds of people.

Vampires do have some sense; they don't recklessly develop offspring. Apart from the elders, anyone else who wants to develop offspring needs to report and get approval.

According to information obtained from Alexander, the number of vampires in the entire United Kingdom did not exceed a thousand.

This is the result of the vampire's deliberate control.

Otherwise, too much blood would be needed, disrupting the delicate balance.

However, recently, some ambitious new-generation vampires have left Britain to develop their descendants in other regions, causing some turmoil within the vampire community.

Selena has no interest in politics and is now solely focused on revenge.

She was used to being alone and kept her distance from other vampires. Now that she understands who her true enemy is, she will show no mercy to her former companions.

“Victor is inside.”

Her voice was as cold as ice: "And Marcus, the one who started it all."

Lin Mu's golden eyes flickered slightly, and the magnificent castle in front of him instantly became transparent. The internal structure, all the visible and hidden sentries, the complex passages and heavy gates were rendered useless.

It was still daytime, midday, the perfect time to hunt vampires.

Selena examined the two guns in her hands; the gun barrels were inlaid with silver patterns, and the magazines were full of bullets.
