Chapter 927: Legends Of The Blood Forefather

However, the inexplicable appearance of a human boy that was so arrogant and lawless left the ancestors slack-jawed. A human receiving the blessing was completely outside of their expectations.

Li Qiye only smiled towards this ancestor: “If I become the Blood Forefather, are you all ready to have a human take this role?”

Such sharp words left the ancestors thinking. This was indeed a problem. They were not prepared for a human to become their Blood Forefather. How could they face the Blood Race after this? This issue left these experienced ancestors silent.

“That is impossible.” An ancestor stressed: “How could the bloodline of our progenitor be pa.s.sed down to a human! This will never happen.”

Li Qiye smirked: “Is that so? Don’t you think you are a bit too certain? You’re all just a bunch of geezers that have lived for too long. Ask yourselves, where did the Blood Race come from?”

An ancestor immediately quipped: “What a load of rubbish. The world knows where we came from.”

“Okay, then we’ll talk about it a bit. According to you, your progenitor was originally a drop of immortal blood that eventually gave birth to the entire Blood Race. Here lies the issue, who actually gave birth to all of you?”

“...” This question left the ancestors in the darkness dazed. Everyone had heard of this legend, but who actually gave birth to them? This question had never really been touched before.

Li Qiye smiled: “From the various versions of your origin mythos, it can be a.s.sumed that your progenitor was male, so there has to be a woman that gave birth to your Blood Race, right? Your progenitor couldn’t be the only one.”

In fact, whether if it was the nine worlds or those within their clan, there were no exact writings about this issue. No one really discussed this matter either.

Li Qiye went on: “If we take a step back and a.s.sume that your progenitor was a woman, then who would the father be?”

Not to mention the ancestors present, perhaps no one of the entire Blood Race could answer Li Qiye’s question.

He leisurely went on before the silent crowd: “No matter the s.e.x, your progenitor needs the other half to give birth to your race, but your race has never thought about how half of your bloodline might be different than your progenitor's!”

“You speak as if you know!” The Autumn Matron stared at Li Qiye.

Li Qiye smiled: “You are asking the right person. I have indeed read an ancient record with a particular tale. It says that your Blood Matriarch was a human. In other words, a human female gave birth to your race.”

“How absurd! How could a human exist within our race!” An ancestor shouted, immediately denying this theory.

Li Qiye disagreed: “After so much talking, your primal ground still doesn’t want to admit this truth! You all claim to have the purest bloodline from your progenitor but deny your matriarch’s bloodline. This is the most ridiculous and funny thing I have ever heard!”

“How can we believe a false claim?” An ancestor gently shook his head.

“It doesn’t matter. Ultimately, you all are still avoiding the issue and won’t recognize the truth that your bloodline is not pure.” Li Qiye dismissively said: “With regards to the three most widespread versions of your origin, you claim that your version is the most orthodox.”

“Then let us talk about the other two versions for a bit.” Li Qiye didn’t look at the ancestors in the darkness and instead turned his head towards the four matrons: “There is something similar about the other two versions — the other half of your progenitor, or your matriarch…”

“... One of them states that the king of your ancestors married a woman and eventually replaced the original race. The other one says that your progenitor mated with a female corpse to give birth to your race! Only your version avoids talking about your matriarch, don’t you think this is quite interesting?”

The Winter Matron coldly uttered: “So what?!”

Li Qiye smiled: “This makes me think that your older ancestors are privy to the origin of your matriarch, so they purposely avoided it. Although descendants like you might be unaware, your ancestors probably know this secret!”

“Despite the writings in the ancient record about the change in your blood pond back then, a human descendant like me has no way of knowing. However, one thing is certain, you all have found something that relates to the secret of your bloodline, or at least formulated some guesses. Otherwise, the four of you wouldn’t have been able to break the chains of your bloodline!”
