0196 Chapter 4 The End of the Ordinary (Section 67)
"Dad, are we really going to leave like this? To Mars?" The second young master's eyes were full of unwillingness.
The middle-aged man didn't look back, frowned slightly and said with a very disdainful expression: "You are now the general person in charge of the tribe, don't you know how to call me?
The journey is very long, so study the methods of sublimation inherited from your family. If you are still a human being on Mars, you may not have much chance of surviving.
Also, do what you are told to do honestly, and don’t always have your own ideas. The reason why you escaped this time is simply because all the other successor candidates were unfortunate enough to arrive and were unable to come in time."
His words were very rude, even to his biological son. With the temperament of the Second Young Master who was willing to murder his own brother for the sake of power, ordinary emperors would have to take extra precautions, but the head of the Zhen family seemed to be convinced of him.
"Don't you have your own ideas? Patriarch, what you still want to do now is to pass on the family to the thirteenth sister? Could it be that... you have decided to hold a prayer ceremony?" The second young master stared at the back of his father's head with a fierce look on his face, and said fiercely.
Gritting his teeth.
But he was really doomed. Even if he stepped into the transcendent world at this moment, even if everyone on the spacecraft fell in love with him, he would not dare to take action against the man in front of him.
Because he knows that without that man, it would be impossible for him to survive now, whether on earth or in space.
As the head of the family, he must have a plan and an escape route in any situation. So that man can remain calm at the end of the world, and can taunt the madmen who are as vicious as him.
All because, all possibilities and variables have been considered by him and accepted in his heart. But if he wants to do this, the second young master is still too young.
Speaking of prayer rituals, if the second young master had not mentioned it, the head of the Zhen family would have really forgotten about it. It is a family motto passed down from ancient times, and it comes with a set of complex and complicated prayers, rituals and sacrifice procedures.
That was a promise made by a certain goddess who protected the ancestors of the Zhen family. Basically, if the Zhen family was in danger, she would take action to protect a member of the younger generation.
Passed down to this day, the carefully preserved details of the ceremony are still intact, but the past events are no longer verifiable.
It's just that this promise has several limitations, which is quite frustrating.
The first is that it can only be used once. Therefore, even though there have been many crises in history, it has not reached the level of annihilation, so the ancestors of the Zhen family have never used this only opportunity.
The second is that the almighty's promise is limited to keeping one person safe, but does not include helping the family solve the troubles it encounters. From the perspective of the overall situation of the family heads of past generations, this "trump card" seems quite useless.
The third reason is that although the reason is unknown, the asylum targets accepted by this promise are limited to female tribesmen. It can only be said to be very puzzling.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man seemed to remember something that made his mood very bad, and he snorted coldly: "Ritual? Do we still have time to hold the ceremony now?
Do you think our lives are more important, or that of your little sister who gnashes her teeth every night and wants to be cut into pieces? Even if her birth carries the hope of our people being freed from the curse.
By the way, you don’t know about this, right? The reason why I have always left the family in her hands. Do you think you are so persistent because she is better than you and makes your father look down on you?
In fact, with your persistence in power, your experience in handling many family matters, and your communication skills with powerful people from all walks of life, you are more qualified than her to become the head of the family.
More importantly, you have the consciousness to regard yourself as a Zhen family member, and the persistence to become the head of the family and do it at all costs.
Do you think I insisted on passing the inheritance to her because of her talents? You are absolutely wrong! Now is not the time to expand territories. Even if you are the most intelligent person in the world, how much benefit can it bring to the Zhen family?
This small piece of cake, the earth, was eaten away hundreds of years ago. It is impossible to shake the current situation of the world based on individual talents alone.
She had to become the head of the family because she was created by me to replace my real daughter. In order to achieve this goal, I even had to be severely blackmailed by Scarry, who was aware of it.
It is said that there was the Dayong Dynasty in ancient times, which was the origin of our Zhen family. Zhen Chengyong inherited the roots of our family and can open up a new world by connecting the past and the next.
She has the blood of my Zhen family in her body, and also flows the blood of the dragon family of the extraterrestrial beast Chiki, which our ancestors have finally found after generations of hard work.
Only by suppressing luck with dragon veins can the curse on our family's bloodline be lifted. This is why Zhen Chengyong must become the head of the family!"
He was high-spirited and proud of having completed a piece of inherited obsession that his ancestors had failed to complete for generations. When he said this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh:
"Sigh... It's a pity that the prophecy not only mentioned the method for our family to break the curse, but also mentioned that if we want to complete this great cause, we will have to pay an unbearable price.
Looking back now, I still underestimated the cost...
Now even if I deliberately make room to take the materials to space, there is no reason to hold another ceremony. Because your thirteenth sister has just been confirmed to appear in the center of the battlefield in Scarry Castle.
As long as that monster is there, there are basically no living people there now. Instead of thinking about her affairs anymore, it is better to bring a few more women and think about how to reproduce the human race."
Hearing this, the second young master's expression was very wonderful.
Since the death of his eldest brother, his father has shown an attitude of being determined to win the Thirteenth Sister. He has always been deeply jealous of that person whom he has never seen a few times in his life. He has an extremely rebellious personality but also has a personality that makes people have to The sister who has the ability to grit her teeth.
He once cursed her name day and night, wishing he could eat her flesh and bones... By the way, that bitch even made her determination to refuse the family's gift public and even changed her own name in order to draw a clear line.
It turns out that... my sister is not valued so much because her abilities are better than mine. She is not even a human being!
The most important thing...she is dead now.
The second young master suddenly felt that his mood had improved, and it seemed that the end of the world was just the end of the world.
Twenty minutes later, the launch vehicle that propelled the spacecraft into the sky had completely escaped the gravitational constraints of the earth. The red lighting during liftoff was extinguished and replaced with a comfortable white light.
The father and son untied their restraints and began to take off their heavy spacesuits themselves.
At this moment, an old man with gray hair and wrinkled face opened the hatch between the decks, hurriedly floated up from the lower deck, and shouted: "Mr. Zhen! It's not good!"
