The former Sky Brain's crazy revenge on the direct descendants of the Jiang family was naturally not for the sake of showing off. He had an ulterior motive.
The senior officials were speechless.
After a long time, someone said something that everyone was worried about.
"The direct descendants of the Jiang family … seem to have no one left …"
It was not 'seem', there was no one left at all.
However —
Shouldn't the man in front of them, who claimed to be the ancestor of the Jiang family, have a purer bloodline?
The man seemed to have the ability to read minds and saw through the thoughts of the old chief at a glance.
He said, "Due to some special circumstances, I don't have this ability, but … there is still one direct descendant of the Jiang family alive."
The Federal Marshal asked him, "Tell me your purpose?"
The man said, "She will come back to reorganize the Jiang family. I'm here to warn you not to do anything stupid."
Apart from a few who had no foundation and climbed up purely through meritorious deeds, the rest of the military and political higher-ups present were inseparable from the major forces of the Federation. The Jiang family was too big a cake. How could those forces not be jealous and take the opportunity to get a share?
From this point of view, they were opposing the only remaining direct descendants of the Jiang family.
In order to prevent the other party from taking revenge after she grew up, it was normal to kill her in the cradle while she was still weak.
"Who is this person?"
The man said bluntly, "I don't feel at ease leaving her to you."
The marshal said, "She is so important that the Federation will devote all its resources to nurture her. Sir, don't doubt our intentions."
The man said, "A flower growing in a greenhouse is destined to be unable to withstand the wind and rain. The Jiang family will not usher in a new life in her hands."
Everyone could not help but twitch the corners of their mouths when they heard this.
The marshal said, "Actually … I have an idea …"
It was very dangerous to have only one direct descendant left. From what the man said, it seemed like he planned to train the other party to death.
If such a precious treasure was lost, how would the Federation deal with the second Sky Brain disaster?
Why not …
Leave some genetic samples or something?
If there was really any loss, they could still make a clone.
The man said coldly, "It's best not to have such thoughts."
Strictly speaking, the Jiang family's collateral descendants also had the Jiang family's bloodline and genes, but they could not awaken their ancestor's abilities. Naturally, there was a certain inside story. If they tried to artificially interfere with reproduction or even gene duplication, the final result would be shooting themselves in the foot.
In short, the Jiang Clan's direct descendant only had this one precious egg left.
The marshal felt a little awkward when he was rebutted. He could not help but mutter to himself, 'These families that have been passed down from ancient times are really troublesome. The secrets they have are really more concentrated than the sea of stars, and their tricks are one after another. Even an old sow wearing a bra isn't so complicated.'
[In that case, Sir, you should at least reveal a little bit of the other party's identity. We won't disturb you, but we must protect you secretly.]
The man said, "When she comes of age, if she's still alive, I'll secretly arrange for her to turn over a new leaf."
The marshal's heart trembled. 'If you can't …'
The man said, "The weak don't deserve to live. If you can't even survive a trial of this level, you'll die at the hands of the Sky Brain sooner or later.]
The higher-ups: "…"
They roughly understood why the man did not pursue the matter of Jiang Shi's previous suppression. His heart was indeed hard. However, the old chief felt that this man was very suspicious. He refused to hand over the whereabouts of the Jiang family's lineal descendants mostly because he didn't trust him, not because of the ridiculous "the weak don't deserve to live".
Naturally, there were also people who did not believe it and secretly investigated.
However, the highest authority of the Sky Brain was in the hands of the man. No matter how powerful the higher-ups of the federation were, they could not defeat the all-powerful Sky Brain.
The news of the Jiang family's lineal descendants had been perfectly hidden.
The higher-ups waited patiently for many years until Jiang Pengji was transferred from the genetic warrior sequence to the Seventh Army. Only then did the man announce Jiang Pengji's identity. Knowing this result, the higher-ups were stunned. No one would have thought that the real Jiang family's lineal descendants would be in the genetic warrior training camp, where the survival rate was the lowest. Looking at her resume again, the records of dozens of extremely difficult missions made people break out in a cold sweat.
Even through words, they could imagine what she had experienced all these years.
If her luck had been a little worse, it would have been game over.
The man was really her ancestor!
[Isn't it not too good to go to the Seventh Army …]
The marshal did not agree very much. After all, the Seventh Army was a frontline combat army. Its mortality rate was no lower than that of the genetic warrior training camp.
The man asked in return, [Then let her go to the logistics unit?]
The marshal was silent.
Since the plan was to let the Jiang family's lineal descendants reorganize the Jiang family, it meant that the power of the Jiang family would eventually fall into the hands of this lineal descendant.
How could an outstanding family head suppress demons, ghosts, demons, and monsters if he didn't have the ability?
If she really went to the logistics unit, her future would not be very good.
[Except for the Seventh Army, the other corps are not suitable.]
The marshal was speechless.
He felt that the Seventh Army was not good either.
The Seventh Army was a frontline combat army. The man did not intend to be Jiang Pengji's backer. This meant that Jiang Pengji could only enter the Seventh Army from the bottom of the fierce competition. Jiang Pengji could only rely on her experience as a genetic warrior.
If a bottom-level warrior wanted to be promoted, he either had to rely on military merits or experience.
The latter required time, and the former required bloodshed.
Bloodshed meant danger and even sacrifice.
To be honest, it was the first time he saw such a cold, heartless, and stubborn ancestor.
Other ancestors worried that they did not give enough care to the younger generation, but this one was worried that the younger generation would not die fast enough.
Fortunately, Jiang Pengji stepped on the enemy's corpses and fought her way up from the Seventh Army with military merits. She showed the excellence that a lineal descendant of an ancient family should have. Unfortunately, at this time, there were unexpected complications. As the commander of the Seventh Army, the old chief's body had an untreatable genetic disease. His mental brain was gradually withering. After persisting for several years, he had to retire.
When she retired, she naturally had to recommend a suitable successor.
The old chief chose Jiang Pengji.
This result was unanimously opposed by the marshal and several other commanders.
"I need a reason."
The old chief's face was a little dark. It was not easy to groom a successor, and her body did not allow her to continue to delay.
If Jiang Pengji was rejected, the marshal and the other commanders could only recommend a suitable candidate.
The person who was re-selected might not be more suitable than Jiang Pengji.
"You rejected her because of her identity?"
Everyone remained silent, which was equivalent to a tacit agreement.
They indeed needed Jiang Pengji, but they could not let her enter the real top ranks.
The man held the highest authority in the Heavenly Brain, and Jiang Pengji might inherit this authority from the man in the future.
She was already in danger, and if she was allowed to come into contact with the core military authority …
Sigh!
Once she took over the position of the commander of the army, the potential risks were too great. No one could afford to take this risk.
"The timing of that man's appearance is too sensitive. Jiang Pengji has been in the Seventh Army for so many years, and her wings are gradually growing. Coincidentally, you fell sick at this time and had to retire … And the person you recommended is Jiang Pengji … Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence?"
The atmosphere was filled with the smell of conspiracy.
Under the old chief's unyielding insistence, everyone took a step back and gave Jiang Pengji a chance, but she had to pass a lot of tests.
It was during this period that Jiang Pengji's mission inexplicably became heavier, and the danger level soared.
