Within the Imperial Dragon Pavilion, the ancestral spirits from numerous inherited stars appeared together, watching the descendants of Huaxia, who had completed their inheritances and were departing.
As the figures disappeared, the ancestral spirits on the inheritance stars began their conversations. "These youngsters are all excellent. Huaxia is blessed, with heroes emerging generation after generation."
"Indeed. Our Huaxia human race, from the Great Ancient era when the Human Ancestor led our kind in war against the vast wilderness, to the Era of Ten Thousand Races where humanity alone suppressed all others until now, our legacy has never been broken. Which Huaxia son is not a towering hero?"
An ancestral spirit with a large bow on his back said, "That's a given! Look at how mighty the God Race is. Yet, weren't their Golden Crow children, led by the God Emperor, roasted like chicks by our ancestor?"
The colossal Kuafu clan ancestral spirit declared, "There's no doubt about it. Our ancestor said eating those things made his mouth dry and he didn't want a second helping."
"Brothers and sisters, let's not talk about our ancestors. Let's discuss our current inheritors. I truly didn't expect to encounter a little fellow with Gonggong bloodline this time. At least the benefits remain within the family." the Gonggong clan ancestral spirit remarked.
"The little girl who accepted my inheritance has high talent, good character, and is sharp-witted. She's also beautiful. I wonder which scoundrel will get lucky with her in the future. This little girl has learned almost all of my skills," said a female figure radiating lightning.
Another Kuafu clan ancestral spirit stated, "Speaking of good talent, it must be my cousin and I's two inheritors. Look at their physiques after the inheritance ended – they're incredibly strong! They're just a bit weaker than our Kuafu people. I hope their bodies become even more robust as their cultivation grows, and ideally, this talent will be passed down through generations."
Hearing this, the ancestral spirits couldn't help but recall the two nearly two-meter-tall figures who had just left. "With their build, finding a wife might be difficult. And they're thinking about passing down their bloodline through generations? How many girls would be interested in those two lunkheads?"
"In my opinion, the inheritors of the Bagua Divination and Jiugong Formation, those two old brothers, have the best talent. Everyone, think about it. These two old brothers have never sought inheritors before. Whoever they've allowed to act this time must be a paramount prodigy of our Huaxia," the Gonggong clan ancestral spirit asserted.
"Right."
"Exactly."
"It must be! Brothers, tell us quickly." The ancestral spirits echoed their agreement.
"(⊙o⊙)… Uh. How should I put it? Actually, my brother Bagua and I chose two inheritors who were simply… useless…" Jiugong Formation was interrupted by Bagua Divination beside him.
"Actually, my brother and I chose those two children because we saw their exceptionally good talent. My brother Jiugong meant the same thing just now." After speaking, the two exchanged glances, deeply regretting their choice: If they had known they would choose these two good-for-nothings, they might as well not have chosen anyone.
Lin Zhan, accompanied by his three spirit pets, returned to the massive sarcophagus where the Holy Son of the Church and others had kowtowed. His first action was to check on the crooked-mouthed, dazed, and foolishly stupefied team of Yin Sangguangtou and Adam Sawyer.
Fortunately, none of them had escaped. These were all potential revenue.
"Boss Lin, you're back." Bablu from the African Special Zone greeted Lin Zhan, accompanied by a prairie lion.
"Oh, Hei Zi, your condition is good. This little cat seems to have gotten stronger too." Lin Zhan noticed that although Bablu hadn't advanced, the accumulation of spiritual energy within him had become more potent.
"Thanks to the blessings of the Huaxia ancestors. The ancestors gave the Lion King and me a divine medicine to help us progress further. Huaxia ancestors are truly miraculous ancestors." Although Bablu hadn't seen Huaxia's elixirs, it didn't stop him from flattering them.
Xiao Jin, the curious golden panda, asked, "Brother Snake, is this black thing a person or a monkey? From the sound of it, he seems to be trying to get close to the boss. And what are those things they're tied up with?"
"Brother, that's a person. Keep your voice down; it might hurt his pride if he hears it. These tied-up things are good stuff. They're hostages the boss tied up. I heard their families are quite well-off, and the boss plans to extort more money." Xiao Jin and Xiao Bao moved closer to examine Adam Sawyer and the other three.
"My goodness, this is a good business! I've only heard our ancestor talk about how kidnapping is the most profitable business besides selling out your elder brother. I remember Emperor Xuanyuan once told our ancestor that if he went easy on him during the duel with Emperor Chiyou, our family would be provided for life." Xiao Bao said blankly.
"Damn, is that true? What happened next?" Xiao Jin and Xiao Hei, hearing this unexpected tidbit, quickly inquired further.
"Later, our ancestor did as he was told. As a result, Emperor Chiyou lost the duel and, knowing our ancestor had sold him out, severely beat him. Our ancestor still has two black eyes to this day. It's thanks to Emperor Xuanyuan keeping his word that our Iron Eater clan has good food and drink every day, causes trouble everywhere, and no one interferes. In the end, our Iron Eater clan was even bestowed the title of Huaxia National Treasure."
"So that's how National Treasures came to be? Then this business seems difficult." Xiao Hei nodded thoughtfully.
"It's not difficult; it's impossible. Brother Hei, you don't know, Emperor Chiyou is the strongest of the three great emperors, but his mind isn't quite right. Later, Emperor Yan told our ancestor to go easy on Emperor Xuanyuan. Our human race needs a smart leader. Otherwise, if Emperor Chiyou became the leader, we'd be fighting other races every day. Otherwise, our ancestor wouldn't have been able to get away with selling out his elder brother."
"So Emperor Xuanyuan's position as the Yellow Emperor came about like this. Brothers, what do you think we'd get if we sold the boss?" Xiao Jin said with a lewd grin.
"Let's not think about it for now. With the boss's current pathetic state, he wouldn't fetch much even if sold. It's better to nurture him properly. Even if he doesn't reach Emperor Chiyou's level, he should at least ensure our livelihood. For now, it's better to honestly accompany the boss in kidnapping; it's quicker money," Xiao Hei analyzed carefully.
"Brother Hei, what do you mean by 'pathetic state'? Do you have a prejudice against bears?" Xiao Bao asked, displeased.
"You're a panda, don't worry about things that don't concern you," Xiao Hei glanced at Xiao Bao and said.
Xiao Bao…
Lin Zhan looked at Bablu and Adam and suddenly remembered, "Holy hell, Hei Zi, did you see William? That bastard still owes money. Is he trying to default?"
Upon hearing Lin Zhan's reminder, Bablu quickly added, "Boss Lin, not only William, but the brothers Andrei Ivanov and Viktor Ivanov from the Siberian Special Zone aren't here either. Didn't they all get taken?"
"I don't care about the Andrei brothers, but if William is dead, Great Britain still has to pay me. Otherwise, I'll have my second and third grandfathers go find their royal family to collect."
Adam, Bablu: … This Lin Hei is too ruthless. Even death doesn't erase a debt.
