Chapter 22: The Destroyed Past
"Dad, what the hell do you want to tell me?
You should know that this son of yours is stupid and stupid, and he hasn't inherited the slightest bit of your good genes, so don't be embarrassed for me. β
Yi Shaodong knew very well that his father would never say meaningless words, and there must be some kind of purpose for asking him this.
"Do you really not know what I'm trying to say to you, or are you trying to persuade me not to waste my efforts?"
"I really don't know." Yi Shaodong lowered his head and whispered.
Yi Chuanchen was very angry, Yi Shaodong even heard the sound of his father's fists clenching, he thought that his father would kick him out of the door directly like before, scolding that he didn't have a son, but what he didn't expect at all was that his father suddenly restrained his anger and asked in a calm tone:
"Are you happy at home, or are you happy outside?"
"Of course I'm happy at home." Yi Shaodong felt that his father was weird today. No, to be exact, his dad has been feeling this way since he came back this time.
Because when he asked his father that he wanted to let a few friends come to the house as guests, his father agreed without even thinking about it.
Otherwise, if his father didn't agree, he wouldn't dare to let Qin Ming and An Zili come over at all.
"Tell the truth." Yi Chuanchen obviously didn't believe his nonsense.
"It's really fun out there." Yi Shaodong confessed.
"Just be happy."
"Dad, what's wrong with you? You'd better be a little cruel to me, I'm really uncomfortable with you like this.
If you're upset, kick me twice and punch me a few times? β
"Am I a violent maniac who abuses my son in your heart?"
Yi Chuanchen sat on the chair, feeling extremely lost:
"I don't have anything to do, I just want you to be happy outside, just plain.
But whether you can do it or not depends on your own creation, and I can't help you much. β
"Dad, have you already decided to go to war with the Academy?"
Yi Shaodong listened to his father talk about this, and he no longer blindly pretended to be stupid.
"Nope.
I've compromised. Yi Chuanchen's smile became more and more bitter:
"I decided to hand over my family legacy in exchange for the peace of future generations.
However, I'm not sure if it's the right thing to do. β
"Dad, although I don't want to say anything discouragement, but as far as I feel during this time, the academy is really an existence that can't be provoked.
If we can't beat it, I think it's our best choice.
It is true that you will give up what your ancestors left behind, but I always believe that what our ancestors really left us is life.
There are so many people up and down in the family, and once a war starts, everyone will be mixed in.
Of course, I'm not saying that it's wrong to stick to it with backbone, but I just think that staying in Qingshan is not worrying about running out of firewood. β
Yi Shaodong said his thoughts at this time.
"You're naΓ―ve."
Yi Chuanchen shook his head, and then said:
"Our big families have been investigating things about the academy recently.
But very few were found, because all the people sent out to investigate disappeared without exception.
In fact, as early as when the academy first started to make moves, we were already trying to find a way to put eyeliner in the air.
At first, news could come out, but gradually, those people were uprooted. β
When Yi Chuanchen said this, he suddenly asked Yi Shaodong:
"Do you know why we were prepared so early?"
"Why?"
"Because we knew from the beginning that with the cooperation of several major families, we couldn't help it at all, let alone resist it."
"But didn't the academy do anything to us? How do you know? β
"The Lord's house."
"The main house?"
"Hmm. I never told you that our Yi family is just a branch of the Yi family.
In order to avoid a big war, the ancestor fled to this place with a group of children.
The situation of other families is similar to ours, and they all have to leave their homes as a last resort to escape the scourge of war. β
"Dad, you're a bit informative. Could it be that our ancestors were aliens? β
"The world is diverse, covering countless layers of space.
It's like plastic wrap, wrapped in a layer.
This world is one of them, and the world in which our Lord lives belongs to one of them. β
When Yi Shaodong didn't explain the existence of multi-layered worlds to them in the academy, he heard about it from his father, but he didn't know that they were people from multi-layered worlds.
"When the old ancestor came here, he wrote about what he experienced at that time.
There's a lot going on, there's a lot of stuff about his past, the legends he's heard, and a few things about our home world, and an institution like that academy.
But I don't know why, before leaving, the ancestor destroyed most of the content he recorded.
After your grandfather became the patriarch at that time, in order to know what happened back then, he deliberately united the major families, hoping to find the truth from the classics or rumors left by each family.
Unfortunately, the situation of each family is very similar.
That past was deliberately ruined.
No one knows what happened back then.
It is said that the ancestors of each family sat together and discussed some things, so many behaviors were the same. β
"That dad, our family's heirloom, can't it be the rotten book that has been destroyed for most of it?" Yi Shaodong asked uncertainly.
"Nope. It's a spiritual mine. β
"Spirit mine? Oh, my God! Yi Shaodong exclaimed.
"I think that the disaster at that time should have caused unrest in the world and caused heavy casualties to the major families.
As a side disciple, the old ancestor thought that he had the mission of guarding the spirit mine, and then fled here with this secret.
In addition to this secret, he brought out a lot of things back then.
Most of the spirit stones we used were brought out by our ancestors at that time. β
"How long has our family existed, did the ancestor bring out a mine?"
"It's not a spirit mine, it's just a lot of spirit stones, about a million pieces.
But by now, they have all been consumed, and the spirit stones we use now are all manually extracted according to the methods left by our ancestors.
Before everyone dies, they will be made into spirit stones by the family group and left for future generations.
But this still can't guarantee the supply, so I had to draw ordinary psionics and turn their spiritual power into spirit stones.
This solves some of the problems, but resources are still extremely limited.
So gradually, the psionic people in the family became fewer and fewer, and the strong ones were almost extinct.
Because strictly speaking, even if you gather all the spirit stones of each family, you can't create a spirit heaven-level powerhouse. β
Yi Shaodong nodded understandingly, and while learning about these secrets, he finally figured out why there were only small frictions among the families recently, and there were no large-scale fires.
It's not that they have lost their desire to compete for hegemony, but that no one can afford to burn money.
