Chapter 3738
"Do you know what our forefather did?" Cranos asked.
"Why do you ask, Father? Ever since I was young, you told me that our forefather was a peerless
cultivator. Later, he was forced to live in seclusion in the Cloud Valley because of the feud in the world of
cultivators. All of that was recorded in our family history book handed down from generation to
generation—"
Cranos shook his head and said, "All of those are not true."
'What? The records in the family history book are fake?' Skylar was dumbstruck as his brain buzzed.
As if he had guessed what Skylar was thinking of, Cranos said, "Our family hides a huge secret, and that
secret is related to the survival of our family. It is of great importance. Therefore, the records written in
the family history book are only for ordinary family members. The truth is only known to the family
heads."
Cranos took a deep breath and solemnly said, "Skylar, you're an adult now, and the future of our family
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdepends on you. Therefore, you should know the truth now.
"Our forefather is not a human but a fiend. Fiends were born after the world’s creation and
were the physical manifestation of the Great God Pangu's evil thoughts. Therefore, they
had always been at odds with the gods, the physical manifestation of Pangu's good
thoughts.
"Tens of thousands of years ago, the gods and fiends broke out in a major battle. The
Archfiend was defeated and dissipated into the place beyond the nine heavens. The gods
also annihilated the other fiends. However, our forefather managed to escape.
"In order to escape the gods' pursuit, our forefather hid in all corners of the world and was
later rescued by a female human. After that, the two of them fell in love, with the birth of
their child, our forefather decided to live in seclusion disguised as a human and chose the
Nine Mainland as his final resting place. That's the real story of how our family, the Blanc
family, came to be."
'What?' Skylar's brain buzzed. He was speechless. 'The Blanc family’s forefather is a
fiend?'
It took him around ten seconds to snap out of his shock. He glanced at the burly figure on
the stone platform, gulped, and asked, "Father, does that mean the figure on the stone
platform is the remains of our forefather?"
Cranos nodded. "Yes."
"What is that thing floating in front of him?" Skylar asked.
Cranos took a deep breath and said, "That's his fiend soul. Fiends, humans, and gods use
different energy for their cultivation. A human has an elixir field, a god has a fairy soul,
and a fiend has a fiend soul.
"Back then, while he was escaping, our forefather sustained serious injuries. He died not
long after his firstborn came into the world. Before dying, he condensed his fiend soul out
of his body so that his descendants would be able to inherit it."
Then, he pointed at the long passage behind them and said, "He deployed the 18
enchanted barriers on the secret passage before he died. He did so to escape the gods'

All the information was too much for Skylar to process. "Isn't it superfluous of him to do that? what's the
use of leaving his fiend soul when he could not even win against the gods back then?"
Cranos laughed and looked at him enigmatically. "That's where you're wrong. Our forefather did not
leave his fiend soul so that his descendants could avenge him. He left it for the Archfiend's resurrection.
"Our forefather is the Archfiend's most trusted general. His fiend soul can sense the Archfiend's
existence. Back then, when the gods defeated the Archfiend, our forefather believed he was not dead,
for he was the Great God Pangu's physical manifestation.
Therefore, he left that last will for our family head."
Listening to all those made Skylar's blood boil with excitement. " What's inside the will?"
"The will mentioned a strange occurrence is proof that the fiend soul has sensed the Archfiend's
existence. When that time comes, the Blanc family will venture into the world and find the Archfiend by
inheriting the fiend soul's power. Then, the Blanc family must pledge their loyalty to the Archfiend for all
eternity.'
"The tremor must be the strange occurrence referred to in the will. In other words, the fiend soul has
finally sensed the Archfiend's presence."
