My Descendants Are My Power

"A group of what? Of course, it's the grandfathers, didn't expect that, did you?" At this moment, Ethan grinned in front of the screen. The scene shifted, and after many years, George finally emerged from the dark, ancient tomb!

At this time...

He was gathered with the seven major forces' Competent experts under a cool pavilion on a high mountain, surrounded by a mist of strange abilities. He sat while the seven Competent experts stood, looking bewildered at the twenty-three grandfathers behind George.

"Ah, the current mountain master of Ten Thousand Life Mountain really isn't much. I was alive about thirty thousand years ago, back then your mountain master even had a fight with me."

"This generation's Ghost Eye Demonic Gate is decent, though. I was alive thirteen thousand years ago, and it was my disciple who established the Ghost Eye Demonic Gate. I always said he was of poor character. Ah, I heard my disciple died at the peak of Developing Skill, never thought the Ghost Eye Demonic Gate would become a Competent force today."

"Ha ha ha, these youngsters are really foolish. I'll tell you, all that talk about Blackwood holding half the fortune? Fake. I was still around when they went out spreading those rumors."

"Alright, George will soon return to Azure Cloud Pavilion, and the descendants of Blackwood will be the new masters of the pavilion. You don't have to worry, you don't have much enmity with Blackwood, but more with Azure Cloud Pavilion. If Azure Cloud Pavilion won't be destroyed, how could you possibly be?"

"Right, don't get involved in this mess. We've been waiting for today without stepping out of Azure Cloud Pavilion. Stop focusing on Blackwood, it's no use. If you really start something, you'll have to live every day in fear."

...

George sat in the pavilion, hearing the noisy chatter of the grandfathers behind him, and looking at the many baffled faces of the Competent old monsters in front of him, his heart pounded, and he swallowed hard.

When the seven major forces made their move, the disciples of Azure Cloud Pavilion blocked all the Competent paths and brought them here.

The mountain was really high, the pressure from the seven Competents was really strong, and the wind here...

was very strong.

He felt like crying but had no tears.

He didn't know if these Competents would capture him and use him to threaten his family, or kill him on the spot and take away the grandfathers behind him. Or maybe these people simply didn't care about these old, toothless grandfathers at all...

Various thoughts raced through his mind, and he felt utterly helpless.

"Can't I just peacefully make my fortune in the tomb? Great Aunt, I'm scared!"

"Ha ha ha! Interesting, the lingering souls of twenty-three Competent predecessors within the Azure Cloud Pavilion!"

In the midst of a snowstorm.

Even now, with everything exposed, Michael showed no signs of panic, merely laughing before sighing, "The lingering souls of the Azure Cloud Pavilion predecessors, Blackwood truly has extraordinary fortune."

"With their presence, as long as Blackwood makes an example of one, George can become the new master of the Azure Cloud Pavilion. The remaining major forces will continue to adhere to their old duties, respecting the Azure Cloud Pavilion just as they did tens of thousands of years ago, only now there's a Blackwood added to the mix!"

"Abbot David, Williams..."

"They are the discarded pawns!"

Seeing the certainty in Michael's eyes.

Olivia calmly said, "My lord, I need you to swear to the heavens that from today, unless there's a calamity that threatens to wipe out our clan, you will not leave the Duke's Mansion, and appoint Kenneth as the new head of the family. With this, the matter can be settled, and the Duke's Mansion will remain lofty as ever, with my Blackwood family still related by marriage to the duke."

Michael finally stood up, turned around, and looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky, "As if nothing ever happened?"

"As if nothing ever happened."

With Olivia's affirmative response, the wind inside the Duke's Mansion grew colder.

The wind carried the snowflakes everywhere.

For a long time.

The wind and snow almost blurred Michael's figure, his sighs mingling with the winter day.

"It's too late."

"Johnson has missed opportunities time and again, generation after generation of incompetence, this time I wanted to lead Johnson to a victory."

Hearing this.

Olivia no longer spoke, allowing her personal maid to lead her away from the Duke's Mansion, blending into the cold snowy day.

Soon after.

In the vast Duke's Mansion, soldiers moved about, Johnson's foundation fully alert.

Kenneth, in a panic, rushed past the anxious servants of his household to the place where Michael and Olivia had just strategized. Olivia was no longer there, only Michael still stood there for a long time.

Kenneth was stunned; his father, a Competent, had always been a towering figure, standing tall and straight.

At this moment, his father's silhouette seemed immensely weathered.

"Father... Mystic Alliance..."

"An anomaly!"

...

On the ground, corpses everywhere, a huge, battered airship lay on the ground.

Nathan had once again hoisted the coffin onto his shoulder.

The flying corpses that filled the sky earlier had all been retracted into the Coffin of Direct Death.

Lucas had also shouldered his sword case, the sky no longer filled with a rain of swords like stars.

They stood quietly under a large tree that had barely survived the great battle.

And Donald?

Gary was sitting on a tree branch, swinging his legs as before, while Jason from the Azure Cloud Pavilion kept his distance, hands hidden in his wide white sleeves, frowning forward.

"..."

Donald, who had come to annihilate Blackwood and had boasted of renaming Cloudview County to Dragon Cloud County, was already pale-eyed, hanging limply in mid-air like a dead dog, held by the collar by a burly man, his limbs dangling weakly touching the ground.

"Blackwood's head of the family is quite capable, managing to have Gary serve Blackwood."

This burly man, though rough in appearance, was a smooth operator, not mentioning at all that Nathan had turned Gary into a zombie, dropped Donald on the ground, and said with a smile, "Let me first congratulate Blackwood for replacing Williams, becoming another Competent family in our Cloudview County."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Nathan and Lucas spoke in unison.

"Thanks to the Immortal Master, my Blackwood family does not qualify as a Competent family, but remains a Developing Skill family."

"This time, having intercepted Williams, thanks to the Immortal Master's support, I wonder how the spoils should be divided?"
