Chapter 831 - Remember This Face (1/2)

"Feng Changyang, where have you brought yourself to?"

An ancient expert that had reincarnated into the Fuxi Celestial Race approached him and said, "You should know that this is the best result you can hope for. You represent the old power in the Fuxi Celestial Race and we represent the power that strives to eliminate Fuxi. The outcome has been fixed and both sides are on par and worn out. This time, through the outer power, you forced us into staying in this land with you, underneath the same heaven. This signifies the truce between both sides. There is no need to resist anymore."

The clan master kept quiet and he continued abused alcohol depressedly.

"Hahahaha, the best scenario…." The clan master laughed mockingly like a madman.

"It is the best one."

The ancient great presence looked at the clan master with pity and he said, "Feng Changyang, your last Fuxi Heavenly Monarch, Dao Venerate Fu Min was indeed an impressive one. He managed to injure that existence heavily and repelled him, forcing him to go into hiding for such a long time. He managed to obtain a thousand years for you Fuxi and in this period of time, you were born into this world."

With mixed feeling, he added, "Fuxi Celestial Race's remaining fate and fortune gave birth to you and your talent shook even the heavens and earth. But what a shame, the time Dao Venerate Fu Min acquired for you was too short. What can a thousand years do?"

Zhong Yue's heart thumped as this Fuxi Celestial Race's clan master was that man that turned the tides of war in the direst time as foretold by Dao Venerate Fu Min!

After Dao Venerate Fu Min injured that evil existence, he placed his hopes into the Fuxi talents that were born into the world and hoped that there will be one descendant that could stop the Fuxi Celestial Race's descent.

However, Dao Venerate Fu Min also knew that a thousand years of time was far from enough and in fact, it was way too short.

"You want to turn the tables and save the once-powerful clan from annihilation. But little did you know that you were merely trying to shoulder the falling skies with your lone power. You were always destined to fail! You were born too late into this world. If and only if you were born into this world much earlier, you could have stood a chance. After that existence recovered from his injuries, he placed a curse onto your race and along with that, condemned the entire Fuxi Celestial Race to doom."

The ancient great presence said slowly, "Your life has been a tough one these years. You have my admiration for being able to hold on for this long, but this is the best you can achieve. I hope you will stop resisting. We should really consider casting everything aside and live our remaining lives peacefully."

"You're telling me to set aside our vengeance?" replied the clan master emotionlessly.

"Come to think of it, you only have 80,000 years left to live… I hope you can find peace after this," said the ancient great presence as he left.

Not long later, another ancient Fuxi arrived and said, "Feng Changyang, my old enemy. I respect you greatly for being able to grab onto the final chance of survival for Fuxi Celestial Race, securing the roots of Fuxi Celestial Race. Your capabilities far surpass the many self-proclaimed heroes out there. Though our ideologies conflict greatly, we both secured the Fuxi Celestial Race's heritage."

"Traitor!" said the clan master with a cold stare.

"Traitor? Are you not one?"

The Fuxi ancient great presence shook his head and said, "We are not traitors in my opinion. We merely stood on the right side in this war. I saw the annihilation of Fuxi Celestial Race coming long ago and all I did was plan for my future. Is it wrong of me to merely try to survive?"

He smirked and said, "Just like you, I want to stop the extinction of Fuxi Celestial Race so that when you and your stubborn people died in the war, the Fuxi Celestial Race will be preserve. Now, you've lost and we've won but even if you all died, we Fuxi Celestial Race will not. Am I wrong?"

The clan master said coldly, "You knelt, so you are not a Fuxi."

The Fuxi ancient great presence burst out laughing and said, "Did you not kneel? You sought help from those old monsters and knelt before them to beg for a chance for the Fuxi Celestial Race to survive. You've knelt many more times than me!"

The clan master kept quiet in depression while the Fuxi ancient great presence shouted, "You knelt before someone just like we did! We may have killed a lot of our own people but that was because you were all too stubborn to give up. If you knelt much earlier, a lot of our people would still be alive! If we can stay alive by kneeling down, why should we stand up and face death?"

"80,000 years ago, when you all left for the Ancestral Star, it was I who exposed you and ambushed you, but so what? You are all so stubborn and too blind to see the consequence of resisting! You sought your own deaths and no one is to blame for that! Fortunately, there was me, I was the one that changed the tides of war. I killed them all to contribute to our race and with that, we remain who we are now! It was because of me that the Fuxi Celestial Race didn't go extinct!"

The clan master bellowed in agony and he grabbed onto the Fuxi ancient great presence's throat but the ancient great presence said fearlessly, "This unworldly land we live in now, it became ours because of you but it too, was here also because of us; those of us who you called traitors. Do you want to kill us? Do you think you will all still be alive after killing us all? They will definitely annihilate you all!"

The clan master loosen the strength in his hands and sat back down in despair while the Fuxi ancient great presence walked away, massaging his neck. "Don't think so highly of yourself. You've knelt down and just like us, you are also a traitor."

The depression in the clan master intensified and he spoke even less in front of anyone. Only when there was no one around would he speak to Zhong Yue and Yin Fanxuan but in the others' views, he had gone mad entirely.

"You are still here?"

Softly, he said, "Why are you still here? Are you here to see how I destroy myself? You should leave now, this is not where you belong…."

Just like that, another few years passed and the clan master's wife passed away due to the depression she suffered as a result of being insulted and cursed by her own people. After his wife passed away, only his son and himself remained. Soon enough, he had completely turned into an old man before his wife's grave.

"You're still here? The souls from future?"

He said to Zhong Yue and Yin Fanxuan, "Perhaps, both of you are the only friends I have left…."

His son slowly grew up but this child did not have a nice childhood like the others as he was alienated by everyone.

"Father, they say that I am a traitor," cried the boy as he was beaten up badly.

"You're not, you really aren't."

He said to his son, "I will try to get you a Fuxi identity and have you live proudly! Give me some time, just a little bit more time…."

Zhong Yue and Yin Fanxuan looked at the clan master as he dove into studying Dao arts and techniques in an attempt to remove the seals in their bloodline.

But this was a difficult path to walk on.

And he found nothing and he couldn't guarantee anything.

After his son was once again beaten up badly, he decided to give up.

At this time, his second younger brother returned and he did not find Xin Huo.

"The flame of inheritance is gone," said his younger brother.

"I am planning something and I need your help."
