A series of prompts appeared before John, leaving him dazzled.
The information was bewildering, to say the least.
Blessing of Crimson Demon, Bloodthirsty de, Crimson Realm…
John was speechless.
Had the Crimson Demon considered him its inheritor?
Why else would he be released and left with so much?
They even entrusted him with their secret realm!
Even a real father could do no more.
However, it was the first time John had heard that an awakener could receive a secret realm.
With a thought, a series of images appeared before him, allowing him to see every corner of the Crimson Realm from a God''s eye view.
He could clearly see Seraphina, Albertus Fairfax, Baron, Old Dog, Dark Fox, Alex, Maximilian, and even Victor, who was shooting up like a rocket in the Bones Tower.
John watched the images before him, deep in thought.
Although he did not understand the purpose of the Crimson Realm yet, it was undoubtedly extraordinary.
After all, the Crimson Realm was a hell-level advanced secret realm, which had now be his backyard.
The mere thought was astounding.
There must be something hidden within, perhaps Yina would know something about it.
However, Yina was still resting, and John was not in a hurry.
He nned to ask her about its purpose when he had time.
Then, John opened his panel to first check the things he had received.

[Type]: Status
[Effect]: You have received the Blessing of the Crimson Demon. Under this status, your strength increases by 10%, HP increases by 10%, life leech enhances by 5%, and life regeneration speed boosts by 50%.
...
The buff gifted by the Crimson Demon is quite impressive.
It not only boosts strength and HP by 10% but also enhances HP leech by 5%.
It''s almost equivalent to a gold-tier item.
John continued to scroll down.

...
Both pieces of equipment are top-notch!
One is the sage-tier Heritage Equipment, "Blood Mask."
Its percentage-based attribute enhancements signify that this equipment will never be obsolete, no matter the circumstances.
The two functional skills ites with are nothing short of superb!
"Blood Mimicry" can enhance stealth capabilities, offering mimicry of appearance, realm, and aura so convincing that even transcendent-tier powerhouses would likely be none the wiser.
Meanwhile, "Wing of Blood" is a flying skill.
This skill particrly caught John''s eye, as it perfectlypensates for hisck of aerialbat skills.
The second piece of equipment was all too familiar to John.
It was the blood-red longsword, whose attributes and name had always eluded him.
Whether it was equipment or an enemy, if their level surpassed that of an awakener by 20 levels, the awakener couldn''t discern their level or attributes—this was the norm, much like how John could only see a bunch of question marks when he looked at the Crimson Demon.
Unexpectedly, the sword had ended up in his possession.
Moreover, it turned out to be a divine artifact!
John picked up the Bloodthirsty de, his gaze burning with intensity.
This was a divine artifact!
Such items were scarce across the entire Federation!
Although the Bloodthirsty de was damaged, reduced to the status of an iron-tier weapon, its skill "Blood Devourer" promised a potential return to its peak condition.
The de''s other skill, "Blood Rage," was also incredibly potent, capable of doubling the wielder''sbat strength instantaneously—even though itsted only a brief 20 seconds.
But in some battles, even a second could be enough to turn the tide.
Both pieces were exceptional, marking a significant haul for John.
Yet, a tinge of regret was evident in his eyes.
To utilize these two pieces, he would need to change his ss to "Blood Apostle."
Although John had acquired the ss Change Scroll for this ss after passing a trial, he was still undecided about undergoing the ss transformation.
John had no desire for a ss that could alter one''s personality.
Even the promise of a divine artifact did not seem worth it to him.
After all, a regr awakener could have, at most, two sses in their lifetime.
Awakeners like Seraphina, who was born with dual sses, might manage three, but that was the limit.
John feared that if he changed his ss to "Blood Apostle," he might regret itter should he encounter a better ss.
Holding the ss Change Scroll for Blood Apostle, his expression was one of deep conflict.
Should he sell it, or should he use it himself?
As John hesitated, his gaze inadvertently fell upon the information on the scroll, and he was instantly taken aback.
[Item]: Heritage Scroll
[Name]: Blood Apostle
[Description]: Upon using the Heritage Scroll, you will acquire the inheritance ss "Blood Apostle."
[Requirements]: None
...
[Note: Your "All-ss Magus" ss can absorb the "Blood Apostle" ss from the scroll, gaining partial authority and skills of the "Blood Apostle."]
[Would you like to absorb it?]
Seeing this prompt, a surge of ecstatic joy welled up in John''s heart.
He had never anticipated that the All-ss Magus could actually absorb other sses!
Truly befitting of a god-tier ss, its power was unreasonably formidable.
Without a moment''s hesitation, John chose to absorb.
Instantly, the scroll in his hand transformed into a crimson streak that surged towards his forehead.
[You have absorbed the inheritance ss "Blood Apostle" and gained the authority of the "Blood Apostle"!]
[Your attributes have been enhanced; you will gain an additional 5 points in strength and spirit with each level up!]
[You have acquired "Blood Absorption" (god-tier)!]
[You have acquired "Blood Sensing (Basic)"!]
[You have acquired "Hemokinesis (Basic)"!]
...
Before John could thoroughly examine his new skills, a series of prompts appeared before him.
[Your talent "Divine Favor Tome" has been activated, your skill "Blood Absorption (god-tier)" has advanced to level 20!]
[Your talent "Divine Favor Tome" has been activated, your skill "Blood Sensing (Basic)" has advanced to level 20!]
[Your talent "Divine Favor Tome" has been activated, your skill "Hemokinesis (Basic)" has advanced to level 20!]
...
Under the blessing of the Divine Favor Tome talent, the skills John had acquired leveled up to their maximum in the blink of an eye.
What astonished him most was the acquisition of a god-tier skill!
Skill levels are generally ssified into six categories: Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, Superior, Sage-tier, and God-tier, each corresponding to the six tiers of awakeners.
For instance, Iron-tier and Bronze-tier awakeners are considered Basic awakeners, while Silver-tier and Gold-tier are Intermediate, and so on.
As for acquiring skills, most are gained through leveling up or skill scrolls.
Usually, unless one reaches a certain level, it''s quite challenging to obtain skills beyond one''s tier limit, let alone God-tier skills.
If the powerhouses within the Federation were to learn of this, they would likely be driven mad with envy.
John calmed his emotions and opened his panel to check his skills.
