If possible, the old chief didn't want to have any contact with this mysterious man.
According to the old chief's investigation, this man was directly related to the catastrophe of Tianbao 2,000 years ago, and he was a direct participant in that incident. She didn't want to find out how this old man could live for 2,000 years, but one thing was for sure —
This man who claimed to be the ancestor of the Jiang family had terrifying abilities.
If not for that, how could the federation give in to Jiang Pengji, the last bloodline of the Jiang family, and allow her to enter the upper echelons?
The direct descendants of the Jiang family were destroyed, and the family was defeated. Of course, that was the main reason. There was also a secondary reason — the upper echelons of the federation watched coldly from the sidelines, and the aristocratic families took advantage of the situation to divide up the Jiang family's thousands of years of history.
The man claimed to be the ancestor of the Jiang family, and his appearance shocked the entire upper echelons of the federation.
The old chief wasn't very interested in the history of his ancestors, but he knew that this man participated in the reconstruction of the federation after the rebellion of Tianbao. He helped the federation create a new Tianbao network to replace the original rebellious Tianbao. If not for that, human civilization, which relied heavily on Tianbao in all aspects of life and work, would have regressed many years due to Tianbao's betrayal, and would have been annexed by the surrounding alien alliances.
After the reconstruction, the man disappeared without a trace. The Jiang family that he inherited was handed over to his cousin. There were few records about him in the federation, but the old chief, as a former upper echelon of the federation, had the authority to read the man's information.
No one would have thought that this man was so cunning that he actually gave the new Tianbao permission during the reconstruction.
In the entire Human Alliance, even the marshal's authority was one level lower than his!
The old chief still remembered what the man's first words were when he appeared.
"I won't care about your actions against the Jiang family in the past, but if anyone dares to do anything in the future, don't blame me for being rude."
The old chief was still the head of the army back then, and as the leader of the frontline combat army, her words had quite a lot of weight.
Therefore, when she heard such an arrogant warning, she sneered and asked.
"Why?"
The man didn't speak, but the scene was dead silent.
That was because a virtual projection appeared next to the man, and the upper echelons present were no strangers to this person.
When the Tianbao disaster broke out, this person replaced the original Tianbao and supported the entire Tianbao network. He was the hero who ensured the normal economic and social operation of the Human Alliance. The Tianyu Network had been operating normally for the past two thousand years.
However, with the precedent of the previous Sky Brain, the upper echelons of the Federation still did not trust this new Sky Brain. This was because this Sky Brain had its own consciousness. As an existence that spanned across the entire Federation, its authority, from a certain perspective, was above the entire Federation.
Once the Human Alliance became arrogant and wanted to do things like its predecessor, the Human Alliance would be in a very passive position.
The best outcome would be a repeat of the Brain Disaster of the past. That was a catastrophe that caused the entire human civilization to stagnate.
In order to get rid of this awkward situation, the Federation had never stopped researching and developing the new Heavenly Brain.
Unfortunately, there seemed to be a huge gap between the artificial intelligence and the two Heavenly Brains. They could not be replaced.
This was awkward.
Under normal circumstances, in order to avoid such awkwardness, the upper echelons of the Federation would not disturb the Sky Brain unless it was absolutely necessary.
The Heavenly Brain codenamed King didn't seem to like humans too much either.
Every day, other than maintaining the operation of the Tianyu Network, he would go to the virtual network to disguise himself as all sorts of people. He was a shut-in who would not appear unless there was something important. The old commander had been the commander of the army for many years. The number of times he had seen the Heavenly Brain take on a human form could be counted on one hand.
Now, the shut-in Heavenly Brain had actually appeared beside the ancestor of the Jiang Clan. It was obvious that he was protecting the other party, which made the faces of all the upper echelons darken.
"Are you trying to threaten us with the entire Federation?"
The man's eyes were indifferent. "The Jiang Clan has fallen to this state because they brought it upon themselves. You're just adding insult to injury. You're not the main culprit. I'm not an unreasonable person. If the descendants don't live up to expectations, then let the Jiang Clan be defeated. However, leave a way out. Don't be so ruthless. If you really push people too far, what does your life and death have to do with me? "
The old commander could not help but mock.
"The descendants of the Jiang Clan have not wasted their family business. You, as their ancestor, did not come forward to restrain them. Now, you're trying to show off your power in front of us?"
The Jiang Clan had long focused on business. After the power of the direct descendants fell into the hands of the side branches, the entire family's business continued to decline. It was not that the Federation did not want to help. If the Jiang Clan were to be finished, it was unknown how many people's jobs would be affected. The economic losses to the entire Federation would be immeasurable. However, although the Federation wanted to help, the Jiang Clan still could not withstand the attacks of their opponents.
If the ancestors of the Jiang Clan were so awe-inspiring, they would have appeared a few hundred years ago when the Jiang Clan's power was still at its peak.
At the very least, they could save the unfortunate direct descendants of the Jiang Clan.
Now, they jumped out to protect the descendants. This belated shot was really too far off.
The man was rebuked, but he was not angry. He only said indifferently, "The direct descendants of the Jiang Clan are the only ones who can kill the former Sky Brain."
The senior officials: "…"
They all knew that the Jiang Clan's defeat was related to the former Sky Brain's comeback. They were having a headache because of this matter.
However, the former Sky Brain's identity was special. They could not even find a trace of it, let alone destroy it.
The Jiang Clan's defeat was only a warning to the senior officials of the Federation — it was back.
Just as everyone was at their wits' end, the ancestors of the Jiang Clan told them that the direct descendants of the Jiang Clan were the only ones who could kill the Sky Brain.
"Why?"
The man said, "Because it's an ancestral ability that the direct descendants of the Jiang Clan can only control after their genes have been awakened."
The current power system of the Federation was based on developing the limits of the human body. The key lay in the genes.
Under normal circumstances, the genes of ordinary people would evolve with the development of inheritance from generation to generation. However, some geniuses could condense hundreds or even thousands of years of evolution into a few short years. This was genetic unlocking — completely unlocking the shackles and exploding the limits of the human body. However, to this day, no one could answer how many genetic locks there were. Perhaps the end was the dream of eternal life.
The man in front of them had indeed existed for more than two thousand years. Perhaps he had already grasped the secret of eternal life here.
The "awakening" the man mentioned was similar to genetic unlocking to a certain extent, but also different.
In essence, the latter was to develop the potential of the body's existence, while the former was to trace the source and return to ancestral inheritance.
The old chief had indeed heard that the Jiang Clan had existed since ancient times.
These ancient clans always had a foundation that outsiders could not imagine.
