Chapter 6382: Futile All eyes were on First-gen Chen. Tenth-gen Chen already knew the answer but still wanted to hear the words out of his forefather’s mouth. “The sacrifices were all for me.” First-gen Chen had no choice but to tell the truth: “The vitality and dao power served to nourish me. The legacy process is just a facade.” The truth left everyone stunned. Tenth-gen Chen already knew the truth; Crimson Virtue’s group had guessed as much but still took a deep breath. “It’s all a lie, it’s all a lie...” Tenth-gen Chen couldn’t handle the truth. All along, everyone thought the legacy process was true - the passing down of dao power, karma, and even memories. Tenth-gen Chen had inherited everything, making him comparable to someone as great as Everlasting Jiang. Because of this, he never doubted the process. This was the same case for the descendants of the Chen. They believed that by fusing with the lake, they would return later in a different form. The successor shouldered not only the predecessors’ cores but also the lives of all sacrificed descendants. After one hundred generations, this successor would become an immortal along with everyone who contributed. Tenth-gen Chen was prepared to sacrifice himself and create Eleventh-gen Chen without any hesitation. Reaching the final generation was not a fantasy, only a matter of time. Now, the faith pillar turned out to be a lie. The process’ true goal was to nourish First-gen Chen. Sure, the other successors did receive nourishment but only the broth. The one feasting on the meat was none other than First-gen Chen. Therefore, the immortal in the future would not be the final successor, just First-gen Chen. Thus, everything was just a sinister plot from the start. The destruction of the branch and the blood lake left Tenth-gen Chen in despair. However, finding out the truth crushed his faith. His effort and devotion were for nothing. He and the rest were just food for the forefather. “Thousands die for one whale to rise.” Disciples were creeped out by this nourishment path. “This ends today. Now, will you do it yourself or must I?” Li Qiye delivered his judgment. “Please forgive me, Ancestor!” First-gen Chen shouted. “You do not get to beg for forgiveness. Only death awaits you, the only choice is how. You may die with dignity but if I have to do it, it will be more than a swift death.” Li Qiye said. First-gen Chen turned pale since Li Qiye’s will couldn’t be opposed. “Ancestor, please, I have followed you before...” He continued. “The choice is there because you have served me before. Otherwise, I would have used you as nourishment for the next one hundred generations, a life of torment with no escape.” Li Qiye said. “I...” First-gen Chen trembled in fear. He was free to try and attack Li Qiye or run. However, he had followed Li Qiye before and knew who he was facing. Desolate Frontier had an immortal in their founder. However, he had killed immortals stronger than her before. Therefore, First-gen Chen understood he might be mighty relative to Old World but was still an insect in this scenario.
