Book 5: Chapter 7: Continue the Lineage? That’s Not Appropriate, Right?

“Heng`er, you are currently the only Chen Clan descendant. I am a transcender, so it would be extremely difficult for me to have children. I will have to count on you to continue the Chen Clan’s lineage.”

“Oh! Ah?! What?! Ancestor, say that again?” At first, everything seemed normal to Chen Heng. However, his ancestor’s words became increasingly ridiculous later on.

“Is there a problem? I said it very clearly. We don’t know if your parents have reincarnated, and you are the only descendant of the entire clan. Isn’t it right to continue the Chen Clan’s lineage?”

Chen Xiu looked at Chen Heng with an expression that said, “Why are you shocked?”

“But, Ancestor, this is a society of laws. Right now, the nation has already restricted having a second child—Ouch!” As Chen Heng was in mid-sentence, Chen Xiu flicked his head with the middle finger.

“Your ancestor is not a caveman. Furthermore, I can look at the akashic records. Do you know what the akashic records are? Don’t think I don’t know that the government now has a second-child policy.”

Erm…this ancestor is not that easy to fool. Initially, Chen Heng thought this ancestor, who wore ancient robes, would not understand modern laws. However, he forgot his ancestor could check the akashic records.

Chen Heng did not know much about the akashic records, only that they recorded information on all life, practically a cheat.

“But, Ancestor, I’m still a child. I’ve only just reached 18.” Backup plan! Pretend to go along!

“It’s fine. I’m not in a rush. Anyway, there’s no concept of time in the Purple Firmament Palace. I’ll give you some things to protect your life. As long as you don’t oppose the Multidimensional World Consciousness Conference head-on, I can guarantee your survival. Use this time to give the Chen Clan more descendants.”

“But, Ancestor, how can a girlfriend be better than a two-dimensional waifu?” Chen Heng said carefully. Although he knew he might get beaten up for this, he had to say it.

“Why are there so many problems? Look at Luo Li sitting at the side. Isn’t she a pretty good option? That purple-haired girl is called Sirin, right? The white-haired one is Jeanne d’Arc? Won’t they do? That’s right! There’s also one called Mo Qingtong, right? Speaking of Mo Qingtong, it seems her ancestor used the ancestral crystal, so I smashed him to death. Never mind. It doesn’t matter. He dared to use the crystal and was in the know; his death was no mistake. Furthermore, two-dimensional waifu? Two-dimensional waifu? Can a two-dimensional waifu bear children for you? If you don’t continue the lineage, do you expect me to give you some little ancestors?”

Chen Xiu felt no guilt over killing the Mo Clan’s ancestor. Don’t judge him based on how nice he was to Chen Heng. That was because Chen Heng was his direct descendant. Would one feel guilty over trampling an ant to death? A transcender was an existence that transcended the world. Only other transcenders were their equal; even an ordinary world consciousness could not qualify.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Chen Xiu knocked Chen Heng’s head three times. A large bump swelled up.

“Actually, I don’t mind. I can take over and raise some little ancestors.”

“You…are you serious?”

For some reason, Chen Heng suddenly felt his ancestor’s expression seemed a little off.

“Ah! Right!”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the end, a small bump appeared on Chen Heng’s existing bump.

“Pfft! Pfft!” Sirin, who was sitting at the side, could no longer take it and started laughing.

“Ahem!” Although Chen Heng did not dare retaliate against his ancestor, he still needed to have some dignity before Sirin.

“Sorry, Elder Brother.” Sirin suddenly noticed her laughter was inappropriate to the occasion. She quickly lowered her head and admitted her mistake. However, Chen Heng kept smiling at Sirin.

“Alright. I’ll stop here. Heng`er, you are currently the only remaining member of the Chen Clan besides me, so the job of continuing the clan’s lineage falls to you.”

“Oh…got it.”

“Alright. I have to check the akashic records now to see if your parents’ souls have reincarnated. Remember to stay silent.”

“Yes. Yes.”

Chen Xiu closed his eyes while seated in the host’s seat. Then…nothing. Well, Chen Heng saw nothing. Perhaps Chen Heng was too weak to see it.

After a few seconds, Chen Xiu opened his eyes.

“Ancestor, you have found the answer? How is it? Are my parents’ souls still around?” Chen Heng quickly asked when Chen Xiu’s eyes opened.

“Your parents’ souls have already reincarnated. I won’t tell you their reincarnated identities. After reincarnating, they no longer have anything to do with their past lives. This is the principle of reincarnation.”

After Chen Xiu opened his eyes, he shook his head at Chen Heng. Chen Heng’s parents had already reincarnated; disturbing them would not be good. It was not that he could not awaken the memories of their past life, but that was meaningless and would be unfair to their current life.

“Oh?”

Chen Heng’s world had a complete reincarnation system, and practically no one could interfere with it. Of course, that did not include Chen Xiu.

This was because of the reincarnation system’s special nature. Hence, everyone in the world, even the powerful immortals, would not disturb a person because of their past life, even if they knew about it. This was an established convention.

A flower blooms again, but is it the same flower when it bloomed a second time?

“I can make a copy of your parents using the akashic records. Do you want that?”

“There’s no need. A fake is just a fake in the end.” Chen Heng shook his head as he refused.

Chen Xiu nodded with satisfaction. This was also why Chen Xiu did not revive any of the dead Chen Clan members using the akashic records. After all, a fake was a fake. If all Chen Xiu wanted was the Chen Clan bloodline, he could use his blood as an ingredient to create countless Chen Clan descendants. However, it was useless.

After Chen Xiu became a transcender and left the world, his days as a transcender were not as wonderful as one would imagine. He became even more isolated, continuously cultivating. Occasionally, he would do some missions. What affected Chen Xiu the most were the days he spent in his original world’s Chen Clan. That was why the Chen Clan’s miserable state had infuriated him so much.

Before Chen Heng returned to his world, the world consciousness had been badly beaten up. As long as it did not die, Chen Xiu could continue to beat it up. Incidentally, he had given it a taste of his Despairing Sword. Chen Xiu had used this only five times, and it could make the target feel despair. Why else did the world consciousness appear so miserable before Chen Heng?
