Only after the elder's explanation did Qin Yu finally understand.
He was a little strange at first, although it was said that he was able to activate the ancestral pattern because he gained enlightenment at the Jiang family altar and received the Xuanyuan inheritance from the severed fingers of his ancestors.
But Chi Ji's powerful bloodline, which can return to the blood of his ancestors, has nothing to do with Qin Yu's own talent.
How could Chi Ji, who has such a powerful bloodline, be a waste in his twenties who has not yet awakened his ancestral pattern?
Not only did they not have ancestral marks, Chi Ye and Chi Ji's natural bodies were not as powerful as others.
Unexpectedly, precisely because their bloodline power is too strong, they are even more restricted in this desolate wilderness.
Just like a sparrow cannot afford the heart of a giant eagle, the powerful power of bloodline has become a burden for them. Not only is it difficult for Chi Ji and Chiye to awaken their ancestral patterns, but their physical bodies are also unable to withstand the powerful power of bloodline. Compared with
Others are even weaker.
Not only that, as age increases, the natural power of blood will only become stronger and stronger, and the burden on the physical body will become heavier and heavier, eventually becoming unbearable.
Fortunately, Chi Ji successfully awakened the ancestral pattern and controlled the power of blood. The physical body and the power of blood fed each other, and he became stronger and stronger.
As for Chi Ye, who has never been able to awaken his ancestral patterns, the power of his bloodline has continued to increase over the past thirty years, and the burden on his physical body has increased. This is the reason why he has become so thin and haggard.
Originally, he could survive for a few more years, but this injury severely damaged his body, causing his bloodline power to completely lose control.
The final result is the complete collapse of the body and blood.
"Elder...is there really no way to save it?"
The elder closed his eyes, shook his head, and sighed.
"He is not the only one...all the clansmen who cannot awaken their ancestral patterns, or whose ancestral patterns are not strong enough to become warriors, will eventually die from the collapse of their bloodline."
Qin Yu understood what the elder meant.
If there was a way to save it, it would have been done long ago.
But at the same time, Qin Yu also thought of something.
In the past thirty years, although Qin Yu has been concentrating on cultivation most of the time, he has also been paying attention to things in the tribe.
Over the past thirty years, many people in the tribe have naturally died, and newborns have also been born.
Most of Chi's warriors would die in battle.
Similarly, there are also people like Chi Ye and Chi Ji who are unable to awaken their ancestral patterns, and after awakening, due to various reasons, they are too weak to be qualified to obtain blood crystals and unable to practice. Such people account for nearly half of the tribe.
.
They cannot become warriors and can only live in the tribe and do other chores. Those who can become warriors are only responsible for hunting and protecting the tribe and water sources.
But whether they were soldiers or ordinary villagers, Qin Yu had never seen them die naturally.
After ordinary villagers reach the age of 100, their bodies will gradually weaken, and then they will be sent to the elders to wait for death.
Their remains were also handled by the elders.
At this time, combined with the elder's words, Qin Yu suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Do they all become like Chi Ye before they die?
"Now you understand why we are trying our best to break out of this world." The elder sighed.
Qin Yu clenched his fists and said nothing.
"Go back and see Chi Ye." The elder coughed a few times: "He doesn't have much time."
"When he can't hold on any longer, he will be brought here."
Qin Yu didn't speak, just bowed to the elder and walked out of the thatched cottage in silence.
When he came to Chi Ye's home again, Qin Yu felt an indescribable feeling in his heart when he saw Chi Ye with his eyes closed and looking haggard.
Although he knew this was just an illusion, Qin Yu could not remain unmoved after thirty years of getting along with him.
As if sensing Qin Yu's arrival, Chi Ye slowly opened his eyes and looked over.
"Ji, you're here."
Qin Yu didn't know what to say, so he just walked over and sat down.
"how are you feeling."
Chi Ye did not answer, but asked: "I'm going to die, right?"
Qin Yu was silent again.
A wry smile appeared on Chi Ye's zombie-like face: "That's fine. Rather than living as a waste, it's better to just die."
"It's a pity that I won't be able to see the day when you lead your clansmen on an expedition."
"You are not a waste!" Qin Yu shouted.
Chi Ye smiled bitterly and said, "You don't have to comfort me."
"I didn't comfort you." Qin Yu said solemnly: "You are indeed not a waste."
He hesitated for a moment, and then told Chi Ye what he heard from the elder, not only Chi Ye's body, but also the entire Chi family, and the truth about this world.
Chi Ye has run out of gas, but at least before he dies, Qin Yu wants him to know the truth.
After listening, Chi Ye was silent for a long time, closed his eyes, and laughed.
"That's it...that's it..."
"Ji, thank you..."
He slowly raised his hand, and Qin Yu held it.
"Thank you for telling me the truth, thank you for telling me... I'm not a waste."
But the smile didn't last long. Tears fell from the corners of his eyes as he smiled.
Chi Ye opened his eyes, his dark eyes filled with unwillingness.
"But...I'm not willing to give in!"
The skinny palm burst out with astonishing strength and tightly grasped Qin Yu's hand.
"I'm obviously not a waste, but I can't do anything about it. I'm not a waste, but I can only be a waste."
"I should obviously be like you, I should definitely work with you to become that hope and lead my people to break through this world."
"I obviously...should be you!"
Chi Ye burst into tears, his eyes full of resentment, and he let out a hoarse roar unwillingly.
"Extremely, I'm not willing to give in!!"
I don't know how long it took before Chi Ye's roar stopped.
The divine light in his eyes gradually disappeared.
At the last moment, he suddenly turned his head and stared at Qin Yu.
"Ji! Eat me!"
"What did you say?" Qin Yu's heart was shocked.
"Eat me, use soul-eating and blood-eating."
Chi Ye's voice was hoarse and his eyes were bloodshot.
"I can't be you, but I'm not willing to do it!!"
"Let me be a part of you."
"You have to take me to survive, take me...to break out of this prison of violence!"
Qin Yu's pupils contracted.
After a while.
Qin Yu walked out of Chiye's thatched cottage.
Qi and blood were boiling all over his body.
He raised his head and looked at the sky, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes.
This hatred did not originally belong to Qin Yu.
But at this moment, Qin Yu already understood this hatred.
