"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?"
