My Descendants Are My Power

Kylin Mountain Roberts.

Once prosperous, Roberts had been reduced to a ghost town after the Lord of Frenzied Blood's massacre and the theft of the Kylin Heavenly Crystal, the family heirloom.

Some Roberts fled, while those who remained met a grim end, slaughtered for condemning Austin.

Now, only numerous Heavenly Path projections remained in Roberts.

Austin sat in the main hall, his brow furrowed with worry even after a fortnight.

Through the perspectives of all his projections, he had witnessed the unfolding chaos.

From the edges of the Emerald Empire, Rising Stars began hunting down his projections.

Some, driven by madness, had even resorted to capturing his projections, aiming to inflict upon them the same humiliation they had once suffered.

In just half a month, over twenty projections had perished.

Their fear, the agony of their torment, the shame of their humiliation, and even the anguish and sorrow of their kin being slain - all these emotions converged within Austin's mind.

Were it not for his suppression of certain human emotions, he would have succumbed to madness by now.

One reaped what one sowed.

The bitter fruit of his actions had ripened.

The caged birds had broken free, and after centuries of cultivating psychic powers, they returned seeking retribution, each more formidable than the last.

Regret and remorse gnawed at Austin's insides.

Yet, he had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.

"Come then, come all of you!"

Heavenly Path's hand, resting on the table, clenched into a fist, his eyes blazing with icy fury.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I kept you under my thumb for so long, turning you into objects of my amusement. You'll never rise above me, not in this lifetime, not in any lifetime!"

"Kill them, kill all my projections! It will only make me stronger!"

"Do you truly believe you can truly harm me? My true enemies are the most powerful beings in the Emerald Empire. You, and Blackwood, you're nothing but insects!"

...

Meanwhile, within the Forebearer Space.

While the other clan members were occupied with their tasks, only Ethan and Olivia remained.

Olivia, her soul inhabiting the Forebearer Space, drifted through the world with the clan's Destiny Tablets, her ethereal form visible only within this sacred space.

Both of them were observing Heavenly Path's lifeline.

Outside the Sunshine Mansion, all of Heavenly Path's projections were on the run, hunted relentlessly by the Rising Stars.

Some had even fled the Emerald Empire entirely, like stray dogs with no home to return to.

However, the majority sought refuge within the borders of the Sunshine Mansion.

This was Heavenly Path's true sanctuary.

"The Sunshine Mansion, it's Heavenly Path's stronghold. For millennia, he may have scattered his projections throughout the Emerald Empire, but it's the ones within the Sunshine Mansion that hold his true attention."

Olivia, in her spectral form, retained the appearance of her youth.

Clad in white robes, she resembled a delicate beauty, her voice soft as she spoke to Ethan about Heavenly Path.

Despite being a soul for all these years, Olivia had not been idle.

Her soul had not only been locked in a battle of fate with Heavenly Path's projections, but she had also been seeking to unravel his secrets.

The emergence of Heavenly Path's lifeline had allowed Olivia to pinpoint the locations of all his projections.

[Your descendant, Olivia, now a soul, has spent years battling the fate manipulation of Heavenly Path's projections, her spirit carrying the clan's Destiny Tablets as she travels. ]

[Gradually, more and more Psychics attempt to pry into the Blackwood's energy, making it increasingly difficult for Olivia to shield their fate. However, this struggle has also led to further progress in her "Scripture of All Under Heaven".]

[Through her soul cultivation, she has created a peak Spirit Tier technique: Heaven's Concealment.]

[By drawing upon the energies of heaven and earth, this technique allows the user to blend their own energy with the surroundings, concealing their cultivation level. Those at the Competent Force realm and below can remain hidden from Psychics within one major realm above.]

[Due to her years spent as a soul, resisting intrusions and engaging in battles of fate manipulation, Olivia has gained the trait: Divine Concealment.]

[Increases the speed of fate-based psychic power cultivation by 10% and enhances the ability to shield oneself from fate's prying eyes.]

Over the years, every member of the Blackwood clan had faced their own trials, yet they had all grown stronger through adversity.

The Druids had attempted to convert Nathan, but he had silently mastered the power bestowed upon him by the Death Coffin.

Amelia, alone in the unfamiliar Golden Empire, had carved out her own legend.

Lucas, in the snowy plains, silently healed his wounds, his swordsmanship growing ever sharper...

Olivia was no different.

She had become a soul, perhaps as a consequence of the lives she had taken in the past, her sins too heavy to allow her to regain a physical form.

Yet, she had found her own path, striving to forge a new future for her clan.

No one knew the true extent of Olivia's struggle against Heavenly Path's projections and the countless others who sought to pry into the Blackwood's secrets.

Lost in thought, Olivia's wandering soul seemed to sense something, and a smile graced her lips.

"Forebearer, Heavenly Path's projections across the Emerald Empire are being hunted, yet Austin, within the safety of the Sunshine Mansion, remains unfazed. "

"This only reinforces the fact that his projections within the mansion are far more potent. It's the reason for his indifference, the Sunshine Mansion is where his power is most concentrated."

"A century has passed, and he still views us with such disdain. He believes the Sunshine Mansion to be his impenetrable fortress, a place where he holds absolute control!"

It was as if Olivia could sense Heavenly Path's every thought and action!

Ethan couldn't fathom how Olivia accomplished this, but it was clear that she had not been idle these past hundred years.

Her cultivation techniques were beyond his comprehension.

She had always been brilliant, her quiet intelligence often providing crucial support to the clan from the shadows.

"Heavenly Path believes himself to be untouchable within the Sunshine Mansion."

Ethan, pushing aside thoughts of Olivia's hardships, focused on Heavenly Path, who remained complacent in Kylin Mountain.

A cold chuckle escaped his lips.

"Let's see if this scheming bastard can maintain his composure as he always has!"

Olivia nodded slowly in agreement.

Her eyes glinted with a cold fire.

She had waited for this day for far too long.

In the past, she rarely returned home, spending her days stealing the Druids' fortune.

She had believed that the Blackwood clan's abundant fortune would ensure their safety.

However, Heavenly Path's sudden appearance had shattered that illusion.

She had been siphoning the Druids' fortune for decades, but Heavenly Path had been plundering the Sunshine Mansion's fortune for millennia.

It had all happened so swiftly, so unexpectedly.

But now, she was ready.

And so was her clan.
