Chapter 1338: Chapter 1337: The Fate of The Eight Great Families Is Coming to an End

The little girl’s memories were short and sporadic, and she was somewhat naive, but the deepest memory in her heart was about the manifestation of the Evil God.

That was two years ago, when their entire Clan was paying tribute to their ancestors in the Ancestor’s Hall, the sacred image of the Evil God manifested and removed the slave mark from the Clan Leader’s soul, which was branded by an ancestor of the Berger family, Jordan Berger’s father. The manifestation of the Evil God silently erased it.

Furthermore, the Evil God informed them that the luck of The Eight Great Families was coming to an end, and they should prepare for the near future when the luck of The Eight Great Families runs out, marking the beginning of the return of the Ancient Gods.

As the saying goes, heroes rise and fall, dominating for hundreds of years.

How can The Eight Great Families’ domination of the Heavenly Realm be limited to merely hundreds or even thousands of years? It has to be calculated in billions, or even trillions of years.

The biggest secret is that the Ancient Gods or the Evil God want to return!

This is a top secret, known only to the entire Sheppard Clan. Although the little girl understood nothing, she was present at the time, thus she heard and saw everything.

The manifestation of the Evil God means that the Ancient Gods are not dead. They are in some unknown land, and they have always wanted to return to the Heavenly Realm.

Moreover, although the Sheppard family is outwardly still a vassal to the Berger Clan and obeys their governance, in reality, the Sheppard family has been secretly accumulating power, waiting for the return of the Evil God. The Sheppard family has already betrayed the Berger family.

"Umm, we mustn’t venture to the back mountain of the Foggy Wilderness, is that the entrance to Mount Zhongnan?" In the memory of the little girl, Yusuf Zuck also found some secret places within Sheppard Village, such as the forbidden back mountain, the off-limits Panlong Lake, the sacred Ancestor’s Hall, and the reverence due to the Five Great Evil Spirits.

These Five Great Evil Spirits are now the guardian gods of the Sheppard Clan. They are Celestial Beasts that have been subdued by the Sheppard Clan, and each possesses peerless abilities.

"Big sister, what are you spacing out about?" Just as Yusuf Zuck was exploring the little girl’s memories, suddenly, a woman’s voice rang out.

Yusuf Zuck was startled and then pretended to be as innocent and cute as a little girl, frowning and asking, "Mother, I was wondering, when I turn sixteen, do I still have to marry into the Berger family?"

"Um..." This woman was the mother of the big sister of the Sheppard family, a very plain woman, who appeared to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, quite young, considering people here marry early.

"This is not something mother can decide, it must be decided by the Clan Leader. But, big sister, do you want to marry into the Berger family?" When big sister Sheppard was just born, a marriage was arranged for her, to marry some illegitimate son of the Berger family at the age of sixteen.

"I don’t want to, the Berger family is full of bad people!" Yusuf Zuck was feeling frustrated at this moment, wondering how he ended up in the body of a child...

Actually, this Parasitic Technique is also known as the Possession Technique. In Ancient Times, it was called the Divine Spirit Invocation Technique, implying to invite a great god into one’s body to become even greater.

"Silly child." The mother of big sister Sheppard gently touched her head and murmured, "Our fate cannot be controlled by ourselves!"

"Then who controls our fate?"

"Of course, the Clan Leader."

"And the Clan Leader?"

"The Clan Leader is of course the ’Supreme Deity.’"

"And the Supreme Deity?" In the Sheppard Clan’s Ancestor’s Hall, they called their ancestors the Supreme Deity rather than the Evil God. Although everyone knew they were referring to the Evil God, it was something that could only be thought in their hearts and not spoken aloud.

"The Supreme Deity..." Big sister Sheppard’s mother was at a loss for words when asked, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

"What are you asking such random questions for? Go do your homework. Didn’t you catch small poisonous bugs? Start raising your poisonous insects!" A deep and powerful voice spoke up.

This was big sister Sheppard’s father, who also had the appearance of a mountain villager. He had just returned from chopping wood, carrying a sika deer in his hand.

"Oh..." Big sister Sheppard, that is, Yusuf Zuck, stuck out her tongue and then ran into her little room.

About two hours later, when the sky was completely dark, Gary Sheppard’s family of three also started their dinner. The meal was prepared by Gary’s mother and, to be honest, it was extremely delicious. Since they were in the mountains, various herbs were incorporated into the dishes, making them particularly refreshing to eat.

Gary’s father was also whispering with his mother from time to time, mainly discussing matters regarding the Clan Leader candidates. Gary’s father still wanted to compete to be the new Clan Leader.

Once the old Clan Leader reached a certain age, they would retire and enter a secret realm to cultivate in seclusion. Then a young and strong individual with an agile mind would take up the role of Clan Leader. Basically, the Clan Leader position was rotated every thousand years.

While the family of three were eating, suddenly, the bell from the direction of the Ancestor’s Hall rang out!

As soon as they heard the bell, the three of them were startled and immediately dropped their chopsticks and ran!

This was a call for the entire clan to assemble. Regardless of what one was doing, within ten breaths of the bell ringing, everyone had to gather at the Ancestor’s Hall, be it adults, children, or the elderly!

Although they lived in different family units, the clan was essentially one big family!

Gary Sheppard, also known as Yusuf Zuck, was quickly brought to the outside of the Ancestor’s Hall by his father.

However, just as he arrived outside the Ancestor’s Hall, Yusuf was shocked to see several familiar faces standing there.

The leader was none other than the head of Berger’s Imperial Academy, the firstborn son of the main family, Jordan Berger, accompanied by Micah Berger, Melaine Berger, Adam Berger, and Nolan Berger.

Yes, he recognized all of them, and they had all come here as well.

At that moment, Jordan was chatting and laughing with an elder.

That elder was the Sheppard Clan Leader, known as Jerry Sheppard, Gary’s great-grandfather, whose Cultivation Level had also reached the junior stage of Dignity.

It was Dignity!

"Alright, has everyone arrived?" Jerry Sheppard merely swept his Divine Sense over the crowd to confirm that everyone was present, then he smiled and said, "The Berger family has brought us some household supplies and various heavenly materials and magical treasures. Gary, Greg, you two are responsible for distributing them!"

"Yes!" Gary, who was Gary Sheppard’s father, set Gary down and walked over to a pile of goods to start inventorying.

Yusuf stretched his little neck out to see and found that the brought items were textiles, grain, elixirs, Magic Treasures, and the like.

It seemed like the Berger family often aided the Sheppard Clan; after all, the two Clans were in-laws, so on the surface, they maintained a very friendly relationship.

"Even you guys couldn’t catch up with Gael Berger?" At that moment, Yusuf heard Jordan ask in a soft voice.

Jerry Sheppard shook his head: "I was cultivating at that time, and they didn’t inform me, so we lost track of them and don’t know where they went!"

Jordan Berger chuckled lightly: "Heh, this Gael Berger, running off here out of the blue!"

"Alright, we won’t delay any longer here, I will take these four into the Foggy Wilderness." As Jordan finished speaking, he led the four young people towards the stone path behind the mountain, and Clan Leader Jerry naturally followed.

Yusuf watched them as they went off into the distance, then turned to leave from the lively Ancestor’s Hall and hurried home. Lying on the bed, he directly released the Parasitic Light from Gary’s crown and slipped back into the snake’s body.

"Swish, swish, swish~" The spiritual snake, like lightning, also weaved through the woods towards the back mountain.

Gary Sheppard fell into a deep sleep, unaware of anything!
