Chapter 1604: The Yu Children (1/2)
For many eons now, not too many ancestors were willing to give up on their descendants. Because of this, many famous G.o.dkings chose to hibernate underground and lived in the dark in order to stay alive. They relied on their own reputation and power to protect their descendants.
“Children have their own fortune, just let them be.” Li Qiye said.
“I’ll do that after this and maybe the next generation since I’ll be one with the earth by then.” She sighed gently. She was ready to die.
Li Qiye said with a smile: “The years are always changing. There is no evergreen tree and the Black Dragon Legion that has threatened the world for three generations shall end too.” He exhaled in lamentation.
Just imagine how prestigious and invincible this legion used to be. Even imperial legions had to make way.
Alas, no one could live for that long so the soldiers and generals in the legion continued to change. From Immortal Emperor Qian Li to Immortal Emperor Yin Tian and finally, Immortal Emperor Ta Kong, so many brave warriors came and went!
Matriarch Yu was the best general during Immortal Emperor Yin Tian’s generation. At the end of this period, she and her husband were granted permission by Li Qiye to leave and start their clan.
Many generals did the same. As they grew older, they went back to their home and lived reclusively.
However, even the strongest couldn’t withstand the test of time. Without hibernating underground, they wouldn’t live for much longer than one generation. Because of this, many of them have pa.s.sed away.
“I still remember the generals quite well. I guess it’s not possible to see some of them face to face now.” He said with a tinge of disappointment.
She nodded sentimentally and responded: “When everyone returned to civilian life, the painting drawn by you is still being stored in my clan. Wait, I’ll bring it here for you to see, Your Excellency.”
“Generals’ Diagram, huh.” Li Qiye couldn’t help but smile. He nodded: “Alright, it’ll be comforting.”
She quickly entered the building and took out a painting. Li Qiye personally drew it back then and gave it to the couple before they left the legion.
After she left, Li Qiye went around to look at the murals on the two walls. Some detailed the glories of their clan.
Of course, the couple played a prominent role in the murals since they were the strongest ancestors. Any battle involving them was recorded in great details.
Li Qiye was immersed in this viewing about the couples’ old battles. He suddenly went back in time with expeditions across the nine worlds. This was a brilliant era, at least for the Black Dragon Legion.
They reigned for three generations and became synonymous with the Black Dragon King to a certain extent. Unfortunately, after his incredible battle, the nine worlds fell into the Difficult Dao Era. From then on, the legion also disappeared. No one saw its banner again.
Li Qiye sighed while looking at the murals. The king paid too high of a price to save him. Of course, he understood that part of it was the king trying to make up for Gu Zun’s crime.
As Li Qiye was relis.h.i.+ng this moment, it became loud outside with a row of people filing in, both young and old. They respectfully came inside in an orderly fas.h.i.+on.
The person leading the way was Forefather Yu with Ancestor Yu after him. There were several other influential ancestors after them. Then it was Clan Master Yu and some excellent prodigies. Yu Yulian and Yu Zhan were part of this group.
Today was when the matriarch would come out so the forefather brought the descendants here to see their ancestral grandmother once. In fact, the young ones never had this chance previously, not even the clan master.
Even a G.o.dking like Ancestor Yu had only seen her a few times growing up. The forefather was the one who saw her the most.
“Who are you?!” All the members were shocked to see Li Qiye standing there. Forefather Yu’s expression sank.
This was their important ground and outsiders were forbidden to enter. But now, a person was here out of nowhere. How could the forefather who was responsible for safety precautions here not be shocked? His eyes turned cold as he glared at Li Qiye.
