The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 3738

Chapter 3738

"Do you know what our forefather did?" Cranos asked.

"Why do you ask, Father? Ever since I was young, you told me that our forefather was a peerless cultivator. Later, he was forced to live in seclusion in the Cloud Valley because of the feud in the world of cultivators. All of that was recorded in our family history book handed down from generation to generation—"

Cranos shook his head and said, "All of those are not true."

'What? The records in the family history book are fake?' Skylar was dumbstruck as his brain buzzed.

As if he had guessed what Skylar was thinking of, Cranos said, "Our family hides a huge secret, and that secret is related to the survival of our family. It is of great importance. Therefore, the records written in the family history book are only for ordinary family members. The truth is only known to the family heads."

Cranos took a deep breath and solemnly said, "Skylar, you're an adult now, and the future of our family depends on you. Therefore, you should know the truth now.

"Our forefather is not a human but a fiend. Fiends were born after the world’s creation and were the physical manifestation of the Great God Pangu's evil thoughts. Therefore, they had always been at odds with the gods, the physical manifestation of Pangu's good thoughts.

"Tens of thousands of years ago, the gods and fiends broke out in a major battle. The Archfiend was defeated and dissipated into the place beyond the nine heavens. The gods also annihilated the other fiends. However, our forefather managed to escape.

"In order to escape the gods' pursuit, our forefather hid in all corners of the world and was later rescued by a female human. After that, the two of them fell in love, with the birth of their child, our forefather decided to live in seclusion disguised as a human and chose the Nine Mainland as his final resting place. That's the real story of how our family, the Blanc family, came to be."

'What?' Skylar's brain buzzed. He was speechless. 'The Blanc family’s forefather is a fiend?'

It took him around ten seconds to snap out of his shock. He glanced at the burly figure on the stone platform, gulped, and asked, "Father, does that mean the figure on the stone platform is the remains of our forefather?"

Cranos nodded. "Yes."

"What is that thing floating in front of him?" Skylar asked.

Cranos took a deep breath and said, "That's his fiend soul. Fiends, humans, and gods use different energy for their cultivation. A human has an elixir field, a god has a fairy soul, and a fiend has a fiend soul.

"Back then, while he was escaping, our forefather sustained serious injuries. He died not long after his firstborn came into the world. Before dying, he condensed his fiend soul out of his body so that his descendants would be able to inherit it."

Then, he pointed at the long passage behind them and said, "He deployed the 18 enchanted barriers on the secret passage before he died. He did so to escape the gods' detection by isolating the fiend soul's aura."

All the information was too much for Skylar to process. "Isn't it superfluous of him to do that? what's the use of leaving his fiend soul when he could not even win against the gods back then?"

Cranos laughed and looked at him enigmatically. "That's where you're wrong. Our forefather did not leave his fiend soul so that his descendants could avenge him. He left it for the Archfiend's resurrection.
