God Capital!
Duanmu Family!
The murder of the Crown Prince that had caused an uproar during the day had made everyone in the Yuhua God Dynasty nervous.
Everyone in God Capital was busy collecting corpses, clearing up the ashes, and cleaning up the battlefield.
Only at night did everything come to an end.
The commoners were all asleep but one of the aristocratic families in God Capital, Duanmu Family, was brightly lit.
After Siya's husband returned, he was called over by the old ancestor.
Duanmu Family had an old ancestor who had lived for many years. He had been through many years and hadn't died. Each generation of Duanmu Family Head had to receive guidance from him for a period of time.
The next generation Head, who was Siya's husband, Duanmu Yue, had grown up beside the old ancestor.
To Duanmu Yue, the old ancestor was knowledgeable and had a high cultivation. He was the biggest trump card of the entire Duanmu Family.
Creak!
Duanmu Yue pushed open the old ancestor's wooden hut.
It was decorated simply with a bookshelf in the middle. The wooden hut was really exquisite and was suitable for a family to live in. But with only one old man, it seemed a little lonely.
Duanmu Yue knew that some old people didn't like loneliness and wanted to have many children and grandchildren.
His ancestor was different. His ancestor enjoyed solitude as a companion.
One of the walls of the hut was made of stone and there was a fireplace there. In front of the fireplace was a rocking chair and on it was an old man with a blanket covering him.
The flames were still burning in the fireplace.
The old man wasn't too old and compared to those people who were about to die, he seemed a little young.
But his young appearance couldn't hide how old he was on the inside.
Duanmu Yue pushed open the door and entered. He stood there for 15 minutes and didn't move at all. He just stared at his old ancestor.
The old ancestor didn't move at all. He laid on the rocking chair with a white blanket covering him. His breathing was really weak and he was like a corpse.
Duanmu Yue's nose turned sour. For some reason, he wanted to cry.
Duanmu Yue was brought up by the old ancestor. His parents died for the family and the three-year-old Duanmu Yue was highly regarded by the old ancestor. He brought him by his side and nurtured him. He even appointed Duanmu Yue as the next family head.
This was the reason why Duanmu Yue was different from other aristocratic families. The old ancestor personally nurtured him.
In his heart, the Old Ancestor was the person closest to him.
In fact, even his wife was designated by the Old Ancestor, and he also said that Siya would help him and let him have a couple for the rest of his life.
Duanmu Yue didn't dare to forget the old ancestor's instructions, which was why he married Siya. He wasn't fickle and didn't take in concubines. They loved each other and gave birth to a son.
After Duanmu Yue came of age, he was chased out by the old ancestor, but he would come back to visit every once in a while.
He saw with his own eyes that the Patriarch grew quieter and older.
Not in terms of the ancestor's appearance, but in terms of his personality, temperament, and even heart.
The Patriarch's time had come!
This was a reality that Duanmu Yue didn't dare to think about.
But reason told him that it was true.
Duanmu Yue walked over slowly and added a piece of firewood to the fireplace. Then, he looked at the old ancestor with admiration.
In his heart, the Old Ancestor was the greatest hero in the world.
"Duanmu Yue, you're here." The old ancestor opened his eyes and smiled at Duanmu Yue.
"Old ancestor, sorry for disturbing your dreams." Duanmu Yue apologized.
"I just had a dream." The old ancestor smiled.
Duanmu Yue said, "Old ancestor, can you share with me?"
"I dreamed of when I was young. At that time, I was as handsome as you. I was ambitious and wanted to compete with the heavens." The old ancestor said slowly.
"Old ancestor is really amazing now." Duanmu Yue said from the bottom of his heart.
"No, I am old and my time has come." The old ancestor smiled and waved his hands. He said something that caused Duanmu Yue's heart to sink.
"How is that possible? Old ancestor still has a long time to live." Duanmu Yue said gently.
"You are such a cute kid. Do you know how old I am?" The old ancestor asked.
Duanmu Yue shook his head. He really didn't know.
"I seem to be … 30,000 years old." The old ancestor said.
Duanmu Yue looked at the old ancestor in shock. 30,000 years old?
"Are you surprised?" The old ancestor smiled.
"Eh, based on what I know, even someone at Legend Realm Stage 33 can't live to 30,000, right?" Duanmu Yue hesitated.
"I won't be able to live that long. Twenty thousand years is already not bad. Cultivation techniques can extend one's lifespan for another thousand or eight hundred years. Less than thirty thousand years." The old ancestor shook his head.
"Then, how did the old ancestor live so long?" Duanmu Yue suppressed the sadness in his heart and asked curiously.
"Do you see the tree outside?" The old ancestor pointed.
Duanmu Yue looked over. He was familiar with this tree and played under it many times when he was young.
It was a black tree and it didn't have many branches. It was like a piece of wood that stood there for who knew how long.
"This is the Soul Raising Tree. It has been nourishing my soul and body so that I can continue to live." The old ancestor said calmly. He looked at the tree and many thoughts ran through his mind.
"Soul Raising Tree?" Duanmu Yue was shocked.
"Where did you get it from?" Duanmu Yue asked.
"Let me tell you a story." The old ancestor said.
Duanmu Yue listened attentively.
"30,000 years ago, there were two talented young men. They were hot-blooded and wanted to make a name for themselves."
"So, they rebelled!"
"They led the people who were being oppressed to rebel!"
"The two of them succeeded in the end but at the last moment, there was a gap between them because of the throne."
"In the end, he won and became the Emperor. I created the Duanmu Family and settled down in the God Capital."
The Patriarch spoke tirelessly and spoke of his own deeds.
Duanmu Yue listened quietly.
"But after he became the Emperor, he became more and more suspicious and wanted to get rid of my Duanmu Family. If not for me, Duanmu Family would have been wiped out." The old ancestor said calmly.
"That person was the founder of Feather Transformation God Dynasty, Taizhong, right?" Duanmu Yue asked.
"It is him, do you know? He isn't dead. "The old ancestor said calmly.
"What?" Duanmu Yue looked on in shock.
"The old ancestor used the Soul Raising Tree to nourish himself, so what did Taizhong use?" Duanmu Yue asked.
"I don't know but it might have come from the same place as my Soul Raising Tree." The old ancestor sighed.
"What place?" Duanmu Yue asked curiously.
The old ancestor wanted to reply. Since he was at the end of his lifespan, there was no harm in saying it.
But at that moment, there was a knock on the door.
The old ancestor was stunned. He looked behind the door and saw a familiar thing. He kept silent and said, "Open the door for the envoy!"
"Envoy? Where did the envoy come from?" Duanmu Yue was confused but he still went to open the door.
When he opened the door, he saw a muscular man holding a red watch and looking at the old ancestor.
The blood-red pocket watch was still ticking.
