Upon hearing the old patriarch's words, Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment and his eyes widened.
His first reaction was, is this old werewolf kidding?
With that powerful aura that erupted inadvertently, he believed that he would live to be 180 years old, but he really didn't believe that he wouldn't live much longer.
"Is it a little unexpected?"
The old patriarch looked at Xiao Chen's reaction and asked.
"Well, a little bit."
Xiao Chen suppressed his surprise and nodded.
"I see you...are still very healthy."
"When you get old and your vitality dries up, you are like a rotten tree."
The old patriarch shook his head and said slowly.
"Maybe I can still fight, but it can only be this fight... After this fight, I will die."
After hearing this, Xiao Chen somewhat believed it. He had made such a guess before.
This is similar to the situation of the innate masters in the ancient Chinese martial arts world.
Most of China's innate masters are in seclusion and do not care about worldly affairs.
Because they are also very old and have little vitality, they cannot go out in seclusion to reduce the loss of vitality.
Xiao Chen looked at the old patriarch. Is it because the old werewolf didn't snatch the Wolf King's order because he didn't dare?
He will die after the First World War, so there is no point in robbing him?
If you explain it this way, it makes sense.
"I'm not afraid of death."
The old patriarch continued.
"What I'm afraid of is that if I die, the werewolf clan will be in chaos, even if the chance is very small... Fortunately, you showed up."
"Didn't you say that you would exist to keep an eye on me?"
Xiao Chen thought for a while and asked.
"That's just what I told them, to reassure them."
The old patriarch shook his head and said.
"..."
Xiao Chen really didn't understand. Why did the old werewolf tell him this?
If he didn't say it, he might be in awe and not dare to do anything.
Of course, even without the old werewolf, he would be fine, but from the perspective of the old werewolf and the werewolf family, he really shouldn't tell him the 'truth'.
"Years ago, I was preparing for my departure. The person I originally chose was Amos."
The old patriarch looked at Xiao Chen without speaking loudly.
"Amos is very good, especially with Alec here. They will not let the werewolf clan decline... Even without the Wolf King Order, Amos can only be the clan leader, but it is enough."
"Well, he is indeed excellent."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Your appearance gave me new ideas. I am not willing to just keep the werewolf clan from declining. I want the werewolf clan to rise again..."
The old patriarch seemed a little tired when he said this. He took a breath and took a breath.
"Even if I may not see this day, I would still like to have such a day... That way, even if I leave, I will feel relieved."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen was slightly moved. He had not only heard Amos say that the old patriarch had been living for the werewolf clan his whole life. It could be said that he had dedicated everything to the werewolf clan.
It is precisely because of this that the werewolves admired him, respected him, and regarded him as a living legend.
Xiao Chen looked at the old patriarch and thought of Amos. In fact, Amos was also such a person.
He has no selfish motives and works wholeheartedly for the re-emergence of the werewolf clan.
He shoulders the responsibility, all the time, and does not want to bring the werewolf clan back to its peak.
"Xiao Chen, although you are not a werewolf, I have learned about you in many ways...I am willing to take a gamble."
The old patriarch's tone was quite serious.
"Although I am old and fatuous, my vision of people is still very accurate... Amos did not disappoint me, and I believe that you will not disappoint me either."
"..."
Xiao Chen was silent, he didn't know what to say, he couldn't say, yes, you have a good eye for people, I won't let you down.
In that case, wouldn't it be a bit boastful?
Moreover, he still doesn't understand the old patriarch's thoughts.
Since his debut, there have been few people that he can't see through, and now this old werewolf has been added to the list.
From beginning to end, he felt that he couldn't see through the old werewolf in front of him.
"When you become the Wolf King, I will hold a grand ceremony for you so that the entire clan will recognize your status... When the time comes, I will delegate power and hand over all power to you."
The old patriarch continued.
"I know that you may be a little worried, but don't worry. Since you are allowed to be the wolf king, I will not interfere too much, let alone be a puppet... I have said that I cannot let the werewolf clan rise again.
, get back to the top, and you can!"
Listening to the old patriarch's words, Xiao Chen was shocked. His first reaction was, what did Amos say to the old werewolf?
Otherwise, why would the old werewolf suddenly say this?
He just asked Amos last night how he would choose if one day he and the old patriarch were on opposite sides.
Today, the old werewolf is here to ease his heart?
"I won't live long, and I may not even survive this year... I will make you the real wolf king while I am alive, so that you can fully command the werewolf clan."
The old patriarch saw Xiao Chen's reaction and smiled slightly.
"You know, you control the Wolf King's Order so that no one in the werewolf family dares to say 'no', but you have to remember that the Wolf King's Order is a foreign object after all. It can make everyone fear you, but it cannot make everyone respect you.
you……"
"I know."
Xiao Chen nodded, he agreed with the old patriarch's last words.
"Master Patriarch, why do you believe me and support me? Just because you understand me?"
He wanted to understand this. There is no pie in the sky. Such a huge benefit would hit him on the head. He felt it was unreal.
If you are an old fortune teller, believe him and support him, he believes it.
If it were the old werewolf, he wouldn't believe it.
"I just said that my time is limited, and I want to take a gamble... In addition, although I told the elders that I would keep an eye on you, it was a lie, but in fact, I do have a way to keep an eye on you."
The old patriarch said with a smile.
"Um?"
Xiao Chen was surprised. He wanted to ask, why are you still staring at me when you are dead?
However, I just thought about it and couldn't say it out loud.
The old patriarch seemed to know what Xiao Chen was thinking, and his smile became even thicker: "Although I am dead, my soul will not dissipate immediately. I will merge with the Wolf God! For a period of time, I will have my own
Consciously, I can even influence Lord Wolf God... Lord Wolf God, he protects the werewolf clan, and he is not just talking about it."
"Is your soul integrated into the Wolf God?"
Xiao Chen opened his eyes wide, showing surprise.
"Isn't this... immortality?"
"Lord Wolf God is immortal, not me."
The old patriarch shook his head.
"My consciousness can only exist for a period of time, and then it will slowly be assimilated by Lord Wolf God and become a part of him... By then, I will no longer be conscious, and I will no longer be me."
"..."
Xiao Chen felt uneasy. He suddenly understood why the wolf head had so much energy.
He was curious before that the werewolf clan's faith alone should not be able to gather so much energy.
It is the power of the souls of the wolf kings and clan leaders of the past generations that has been integrated into the 'Wolf God', so that the incarnation of the Wolf God has so much energy!
In fact, not only the wolf kings and clan leaders of the past generations, but also the power of the soul of all werewolves after their death will be integrated into the "Wolf God".
And this can also explain why the energy in the wolf's head is not pure.
Is that so?
So, is this integration active or passive?
Or is it mandatory?
Once a werewolf dies, will the power of his soul be swallowed up by the wolf's head?
The power of the soul of ordinary people is very weak. After death, the power of the soul dissipates.
The power of the werewolf's soul is far beyond that of ordinary people. It is devoured by the wolf's head and strengthens the 'wolf god'.
Their consciousness will be quickly erased and turned into energy.
The old patriarch's soul is more powerful, so it will take a long time to be assimilated by the Wolf God... During this period, his consciousness can affect the Wolf God.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Xiao Chen's expression changed. Is that so?
He really wanted to ask the old patriarch, but he still didn't ask.
After all, he had devoured a lot of energy. If he asked, would the old patriarch be suspicious?
"So, making you the Wolf King is what I want to do in the last time of my life."
The old patriarch looked at Xiao Chen and said.
"As for whether you can be a good wolf king, I'm keeping an eye on you. That will be a matter after my death..."
"..."
Xiao Chen felt a little nervous, although his trip to the island country gave him a better understanding of ghosts and gods.
But after hearing what the old patriarch said, he was still cautious.
Thinking that this old werewolf is dead and still staring at him all the time, no matter who he replaces him, he probably feels scared.
After death, what kind of soul or soul, to ordinary people, is a ghost?
Being stared at by a ghost...it's exciting just thinking about it.
"Of course, that's all for later. Right now, you are the one who will become the Wolf King."
The old patriarch suddenly smiled.
"I'm willing to take a gamble, so just take the gamble with me."
"good."
Xiao Chen thought for a while and nodded.
"I heard that you have been to the incarnation of the Wolf God again?"
The old patriarch changed the topic and asked.
"Yeah, I've been there."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Have you gained anything? Has that feeling of calling appeared again? Or is there something else abnormal?"
The old patriarch looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"there is none left."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"I'm even doubting now that the summoning feeling is an illusion. I've used the Wolf King's Order several times, but nothing has changed."
"oh."
The old patriarch nodded and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Master Patriarch, if that summoning feeling is not an illusion, could it be Lord Wolf God? You just said that you will be assimilated by him, so he also has his own consciousness?"
Xiao Chen looked at the old patriarch and asked.
"certainly."
The old patriarch nodded.
"Lord Wolf God has his own consciousness, otherwise why would he protect the werewolf clan? My influence on him can only last for a period of time..."
"Understood."
Xiao Chen nodded, he didn't think anything about it.
He is not a young boy who has just debuted, and he will not be fooled by others with just a few words.
He only believed most of what the old werewolf said.
Although the old werewolf's words gave him a great shock, if nothing else, he didn't quite believe the old werewolf's statement that he was about to die.
So... it’s better to hold a hand, be steady, and see what the situation is like!
