Volume 3 Hello, Eri Chapter 254: The Supreme Ruler of the Underworld (Part 3)
"Although there are no clear records, many professors in Kassel College have speculated that the White King might be a female. The reason is very simple. Just like Jehovah created Adam and Eve, there must be a correspondence between the two. It is not surprising that the first dragon created by the Black King based on himself is a female. However, there is currently a lack of strong direct evidence. It is just speculation. You Japanese are not sure, so it is not easy for us to make random inferences." Angers said, "There is one thing I don't understand. Since you all directly inherited the bloodline of the White King, why don't all of you have super bloodlines?"
"Bloodline is something that will degenerate over time. Although in human scientific theory, the bloodline of the dragon race is the dragon race's genes, and it should develop itself in accordance with the times and environment. But in fact, this thing is more like a consumable in humans. The bloodline of a child born from the union of two humans with dragon bloodline will not be higher than that of the parents. This cycle will only become weaker and weaker from generation to generation. If left alone, it will eventually disappear. However, there are exceptions, such as the top three families. They are the oldest three families, and their bloodline has not degenerated that badly. There is a probability that super bloodlines will continue to appear in these three families. Whenever such a bloodline appears, he will become the patriarch of the Snake Eight Families and the shadow emperor of the underworld."
Few people know that Uesugi Koshi is not a pure Japanese. He has the blood of three countries: China, France and Japan. He also studied biology at a French university. So when Ange first met him, he spoke French to him. There are very few people who can speak French in Japan, so it is difficult to make a mistake.
"This is actually King White's conspiracy. What humans fear most is loss. If they know they can't get something, they will at best desire it, and may even fight for it and write heroic epics. But if they get it and then ask them to give it up, don't think it will be that easy. Countless territorial disputes in history actually came about this way." Uesugi Yue said.
"How do you mean?"
"The White King took advantage of the weaknesses in human nature. The Holy Relics she gave to humans were actually part of her egg, and the Japanese hybrids had her blood. Putting these two things together, the White King could be reborn without anyone noticing. She knew that humans have always been craving for the power of the dragon race, and that as time goes by, the bloodline of the Japanese hybrids will become weaker and weaker, so they will naturally find a way to stop this from happening. According to legend, the Holy Relics have the function of making up for the deficiencies of the hybrids, which perfectly meets their requirements. It is obvious that this is a conspiracy that has lasted for thousands of years."
"Even if they know it's a scam, there are still people who are willing to do so." An De nodded. He had seen too many people like this, such as the school board. On the one hand, they supported the cause of slaying dragons, but on the other hand, they coveted the secrets of the dragon clan. Even though they knew it might be extremely dangerous, they still flocked to it.
"Those two things combined will only bring disaster." Uesugi Yue said, "If you get it, then you will indeed evolve, but the price is that your soul will be eaten by the White King, and you will contribute your body to her resurrection. This has happened in history. The top three of the eight families of Snake Qi were the priests responsible for guarding the Holy Remains in the most ancient times. They were Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo. But it was Susanoo, one of the three priests, who was bewitched by the Holy Remains and merged with them. He was resurrected as the White King, and Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi fought with him but could not kill him. In the end, Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi chose to use Takamagahara as its coffin, and at the cost of that ancient city on land, they sank into the Pacific Ocean with the White King."
"What will be obtained by fusing the holy remains and the super bloodline?" Ange asked. Although the war had lasted for thousands of years and no trace of it could be traced, it was not difficult to see the tragic process from the ending. Thousands of years later, Takama-ga-hara was indeed sleeping in the sea, which was the best proof.
"Who knows? Perhaps only something like God can call it that?" Uesugi Yue sniffed. God was not a good word for him. He did not believe in God. "What's worse is that if your information is correct and God has awakened, then it is very likely to be in Tokyo now."
Ange stopped stirring the ramen with his chopsticks: "This joke is not funny."
"What good is there in joking with you now? I just want to see your surprised expression. I have been led by you by the nose since you appeared. Now it is my turn." Uesugi Yue showed a superior smile of a winner, feeling that he finally had the upper hand over Angers. "Takamaga-hara was originally located in Tokyo Bay, very close to today's Tokyo. Now Takamaga-hara is gone. If she comes back, of course she will choose the closer Tokyo. Dragons need some time . At this time, they are like human babies and will only follow their instincts, just like fish migration."
Ange was silent. He was thinking of the Dragon King Norton. According to later information, the Dragon King Norton drifted unconsciously for a period of time after waking up. He even thought he was a human being. He joined the Hunter Organization and became a bounty hunter, relying on his dragon characteristics. However, he was unaware of it. It was not until the night of the invasion of Kassel College that he regained his memory and understood what he was.
It seems that the god at this moment is very likely to come to Tokyo in human form following the fragments of memory, searching aimlessly like an abandoned rag doll, trying to find his own place. But Tokyo is a metropolis with tens of millions of people, so it is almost impossible to find it.
"I've told you everything I know. Now you can go and turn over every inch of Tokyo to find God. Don't bother me anymore." Uesugi Yue waved his hand, as if he was driving away the stray dogs that were staring at him in front of his stall. "Eat your noodles and get out! I have to get up early tomorrow morning to buy ingredients."
"After all, you were the patriarch of the Eight Snake Families. Shouldn't it be your responsibility to prevent the revival of the Holy Relics? But you look like you don't care." Angé glanced at the bottle of wine in Uesugi Yue's hand. This guy finished it in such a short time.
"But I have abdicated. An abdicated emperor is no longer an emperor. All major events in the world should be handled by the new emperor. Otherwise, what do I need him to do? Why don't you go find the current head of the family? It's useless to find me!" Uesugi Yue put on a leisurely attitude and crossed his thighs. "My favorite thing to do in my life is to watch the fun!"
"The previous head of the family was named Tachibana Masamune, who was replaced a few days ago. The current head of the family is named Minamoto no Chisei, and he disappeared in the incident that destroyed Takama-ga-hara. Now the Snake Eight Families are leaderless. If you still have ideas, go back now and that position will still be yours. In fact, it has been waiting for you." Angé coaxed.
"I finally escaped from that hellhole, and now you're telling me to go back? Do I look like a fool obsessed with power? It's not easy to be the head of a family. You're no longer yourself when you sit in that position. You can't help yourself, you know? It's not a good feeling to be stared at all the time!" Uesugi Yue snorted coldly, "Besides, I think this family is almost finished. Even if the top three families are extinct, there's no need to create fake descendants of the Tachibana and Minamoto families! If they have to fake even something like this, their luck is really about to come to an end!"
His face was full of gloating. The happiest thing in the former patriarch's life was to see the eight Sheqi families die.
"Are you serious?" Ange frowned.
"Didn't I tell you? Super bloodlines can only appear in the inner three families, and the probability is not high. Therefore, people from the inner three families have intermarried since ancient times to ensure the spread of super bloodlines. The result is obvious. After a few generations, they become inbreeding. Those who should die early die early, and those who should be seriously ill become seriously ill. By my generation, the inner three families have died out, and I am the last shadow emperor! Don't think that the eight Sheqi families will have new super bloodlines after me. It's impossible! The super hybrids are finished with me."
Uesugi Yue saw that Angers had not finished his bottle of wine yet. He was drunk and didn't care about anything else. He simply snatched the bottle from Angers and found a cup to fill himself up.
Ange didn't want to argue with this old naughty boy over a bottle of wine. He just had a vague feeling that he seemed to have grasped something, a sense of being close to the truth.
"Aren't Tachibana Masamune and Minamoto no Chisei the true descendants of the three upper families? Then how could they be the heads of the eight snake families?"
"As long as the bloodline is strong enough, it's fine. We can settle for the next best thing." Uesugi Yue shrugged. "The absence of super hybrids doesn't mean there are no other hybrids. They can find a few children with excellent bloodlines from the outer five families and adopt them to the inner three families. Then they can change their surnames and hide it from the people below. They can falsely claim that they have super bloodlines, and continue to maintain this tradition without anyone noticing."
"But this approach is to deceive the people below. One day it will be exposed, and that will shake the ruling foundation of the Sheqi Eight Families." Uesugi Yue clicked his tongue, "Do you know the Fierce Ghost Clan? That was established many years ago. At first, there were only a few people. After many generations, it has gradually grown. The people in it are guys who defected from the Sheqi Eight Families. They have unstable and dangerous bloodlines. According to the Secret Party's "Abraham Blood Covenant", these people will be sent to an uninhabited island for detention, and the Sheqi Eight Families did the same. Wherever there is oppression, there will be resistance. The defected dangerous elements gathered together to fight against the Sheqi Eight Families. What do you think, if the fundamental secret of the Sheqi Eight Families is suddenly exposed one day? Will those people who have suffered a great loss in bloodline collectively turn to the Fierce Ghost Clan?"
"Your expression now is like an old man who is watching the show and is just hoping that the world will not be in chaos." Angé looked at Uesugi Yue. His old face was now as cheerful as a clown in an amusement park.
"The fierce ghosts really hope that the Eight Snake Clan will be destroyed, because they are the ones who oppress them. They suffer injustice because of their innate bloodline. If I were them, I would also rise up to resist. I don't allow others to point fingers at my life. For the same reason, I have the same attitude towards the Eight Snake Clan. When I met you, I knew nothing. Those old guys said that we should fight when we should fight and kill when we should kill. I was like their puppet. But later I knew everything. I knew what the generals under my command did on the battlefield. The idiots in the army and the idiots in the navy didn't even have a common goal and they tore each other apart all day long. They still pretended to be in front of me. This kind of place is really disgusting!"
"So you left the Sheqi Eight Clan?"
"No, to be precise, I defected!" This is not a good word, but when Uesugi Yue mentioned that glorious experience, he raised his head and chest with pride, as if he was bathing in the glory of God. "Before I left, I kicked over the tablets, set fire to the family shrine, and stole many precious swords from the family. I planned to make a living by selling those things, but they were all cultural relics and it was not easy to break them down."
"No wonder you said that the Eight Clans of Sheqi would write you into history books. You are like a licentious tyrant who does nothing serious and only cares about harming your own family." Angé suddenly realized.
"I don't want my children to become puppets like that, so I never married. Super bloodline is not a good thing. It is the White King's conspiracy and the sin of mankind. It can't bring happiness to people. It will only ignite ambitions from generation to generation. This kind of thing should not exist in the world. If you insist, the entire Sheqi Eight Families were built around this dark bloodline. Without it, they are nothing and anyone can replace them."
"Then you shouldn't have stopped me from destroying them." Ange said, "You could have continued to stalemate with me just now, and I would have been in the car heading to the Japanese branch now."
"I can allow them to be replaced by the demons, the government, or the European hybrids, but not you!" Uesugi Yue jumped up, "I still remember how you treated me."
"That's unfair. You were the one who tried to assassinate me first." Angé said calmly.
"You are the leader of the secret party, the half-bloods who are coming to take over Japan. If I don't deal with you, who can I deal with? But you actually beat my butt with two wooden swords! All my dignity in this life was lost at that time!"
"I thought you didn't have this kind of thing any more." Angers reached out and pushed Uesugi Yue back into the chair. "That's all in the past. There's no need to dwell on it. Since you hate the royal bloodline, I'll promise you that I will never use the power of the royal blood, not even myself. After I find the holy remains, I'll destroy it immediately, or refine it into the Philosopher's Stone for you to see."
"You're not a good person in any way, except that you're trustworthy." Uesugi Yue snorted softly, pointing at the bowl in front of Angers, "It's getting cold, you can't leave until you finish eating, this is the basic respect for a ramen chef!"
Ange smiled and threw himself into the fight for the bowl of ramen. Everyone will always know some people like this in their life. It is hard to say whether you are a friend or an enemy. However, when you meet again after a long separation and sit together, you will still raise your glasses and drink together , reminiscing about the stories that have passed away for a long time. Then this person is probably your close friend.
