Chapter 1084: The Choice of the Ancestors

Chapter 1084: Chapter 1084: The Choice of the Ancestors

"You’ve arrived."

In the great hall, a very calm voice sounded, as if old friends were meeting, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

The old man’s eyes opened, and although his physical body was nearly drained, his eyes were bright and spirited.

Long Fei looked at him and for a moment, his rhythm was disrupted.

The words he had prepared to greet the old man with were now unnecessary.

He greeted him in an ordinary manner, "Old man, you recognize me?"

The old man chuckled lightly, "This title is quite special; no one has ever dared to address me in such a way."

Long Fei sat down opposite him and said, "Then you must have lived a very dull life, being looked up to by everyone every day, you must feel very lonely, right?"

The old man smiled and the rhythm of his speech was also disrupted by Long Fei.

In the past, whether it was his subjects or his children, no one dared to speak to him like this.

He asked Long Fei, "What do you think of the current situation?"

"It’s terrible."

Long Fei spoke frankly, looking at the old man, "To be honest, I can’t figure out what you’re really thinking. At your level, some problems should be clearer to you than to me. Within the Great Xia Country, the Crown Prince and Third Prince are fighting endlessly. On the outside, the Demon Race is restless. The outburst of the Demon Calamity is just a matter of time. Then there are the other Starry Ancient Races watching us greedily, ready to strike us a blow out of nowhere. Under such pressure, you can still sit back and watch, which I really don’t understand."

The old man’s eyes shone, and he nodded, "I was not wrong about you; our ancestors did not choose you in error. You are indeed a chance for the rebirth of the Great Xia Country."

"What do you mean?"

Long Fei raised an eyebrow.

The old man said, "Actually, since you entered this world, I have been paying attention to you. Or rather, my ancestors have been paying attention to you. What you’ve said is correct, the current situation is indeed very bad, so bad that the whole world could collapse. I’ve been sitting back and watching, waiting for you to join the fray. My Crown Prince cannot save this world, nor can the Third Prince. Only you have this chance."

"I still don’t understand."

Long Fei was still confused.

The old man said, "Do you know what the relationship is between our two worlds?"

Long Fei shared his speculation, "Our world was abandoned by yours, or by our ancestors. They folded the two worlds, abandoning that wasted land."

The old man said with a smile, "It seems you have misunderstood our ancestors."

He paused and continued softly, "Actually, to be precise, this world is the place abandoned by the ancestors. Your world is like a Peach Garden land left by them."

"How is that possible?"

Long Fei frowned and asked, "How can a Peach Garden land be devoid of Spiritual Energy, with an environment that compared to this world, is like a latrine?"

The old man said, "It was a choice made in desperation. Without Spiritual Energy, the Human Race would stand at the top of the world. In some ways, they are much stronger than the people in this world. In your world, has the Human Race ever faced the tragedy of a Great Demon swallowing a whole city of humans with one bite? Or the tragedy of an Evil Dragon overturning and flooding a city? These things all boil down to a matter of choice. Where there is giving, there must be receiving, and where there is receiving, there must be giving."

Long Fei fell silent, feeling that compared to the sense of crisis of the Human Race, this world did indeed seem stronger.

The Demon Clan was powerful, the Demon Race even more so.

Bloodbaths that wiped out entire cities were not uncommon, much crueler than the outside world.

The old man continued, "Our world, to be precise, should be called the land of demon sealing, essentially just a prison. In the Southern Barbarian State you have visited, there are demons; beneath Mount Tai, there are demons; in the Northern Cold Continent, there are demons; in the ocean to the east, there are demons; and even beneath the deserts to the west, there are demons. The ancestors folded this world in order to seal these demons. With the impending Demon Calamity, this world too will be plunged into disaster. Tell me, which world is more tragic?"

"But in our world, I have also encountered demons. If the Demon Calamity breaks out in this world, will the other world be spared?"

Long Fei’s expression was grave.

The old man said, "There are cracks between the two worlds. The demons in your world are merely manifestations of the demons from this world. They cannot descend in your world, and when the time comes, they will appear in this one. The Laws of your world will not allow them to manifest."

Long Fei remained silent for a while, beginning to understand what the old man was saying.

The ancestors deliberately folded the world, using this world to seal the demons, and cut off all Spirit Veins from the outside world.

Without Spiritual Energy, the world’s Laws would not support the demons’ actions.

It was like resetting a computer back to its basic configuration.

It can manage running a Windows 98 system albeit with fewer features, but it can at least boot.

Demons are like virus software that only runs on a Windows 10 system, which would just crash on a Windows 98 system.

Comparing the two, a Windows 10 system has numerous advantages, but it’s always threatened by demon viruses.

When compared, the choice of the ancestors becomes understandable.

Long Fei asked, "With the outbreak of the Demon Calamity, is this world doomed to destruction?"

The old man said, "The folding of the worlds was the worst-case scenario planned by the ancestors. But as the saying goes, ’The great Dao harbors fifty, yet uses forty-nine’; all things have a glimmer of hope. For all this time, the ancestors have been searching for this glimmer, looking for a way to counter the demons, to completely annihilate them. As it stands, you are that glimmer of hope."

"Why me?"

Long Fei was full of confusion.

The old man did not speak, simply waving his sleeve towards Long Fei.

The Dragon Qi that was overflowing from the Nine Cauldrons transformed into a dragon-shaped form and began to coil around Long Fei.

Long Fei could feel this immense spiritual power, similar to the Buddhist Sect’s Power of Faith, accumulated from the daily prayers, blessings, and worship of billions of citizens of the Great Xia Country.

The old man said, "These Nine Cauldrons were cast by our ancestor Emperor Yu from Mother Earth Metal, specifically to receive the Power of Faith from all over the world. Only a descendant of the Ji Family can absorb this power. It is both a privilege and a duty. While enjoying this power, one must protect the peace of the Great Xia Country. The reason I have not passed the throne to the Crown Prince is that he can no longer enjoy this energy. No other prince, including the most troublesome Third Prince, can enjoy this power. I have observed for a long time, and only you can enjoy this power. Ever since you came to this world, the Dragon Qi here has been moving towards you, guiding my choice. I know this is the arrangement of the ancestors, they have chosen you."

Long Fei was so astonished for a moment he found himself at a loss for words, not expecting things would turn out like this, feeling both honored and overwhelmed by the pressure.

He could have chosen to remain indifferent, just protecting the people he loved.

Should the world be destroyed, he could simply find a way to leave with the ones he cherished.

At worst, he would just survive in the outside world for the rest of his life.

Now, however, he was directly put on the spot.
