Grand Ancestral Bloodlines
chapter-1999

Young Master Moon's gaze flickered.

A plan...

He hadn't been privy to this information at all. In fact, there were only a select few in the family that were. It was such a well-guarded secret that he wasn't even made aware that there was a deeper level in his family until he broke through the Lord Realm while maintaining his Founding Dao.

And even then, he had only had the right to know that his family had more secrets, but not exactly what they were.

"Come with me, please!"

Dao God Shy spoke lightly. He motioned to place a hand on Young Master Moon's shoulder, and the latter accepted, still somewhat at a loss for how a Dao God could be so timid.

He couldn't fathom what kind of Dao could possibly be related to the title of "Shy! But whatever it was, Young Master Moon didn't feel like he had the right to know just yet.

Soon, the two had vanished.

It was a long while later that Young Master Moon could finally see his surroundings again. Dao God Shy was simply far too fast, and this experience had solidified just the kind of gap there was between him and a true powerhouse.

In the future, he would certainly reach this peak.

His gaze flashed with determination before he settled down and actually looked around him.

If Ryu had been here, he would have found this place to be eerily familiar... It was a practically empty world with nothing more than the statues of nine figures standing in silence.

However, these were not the same nine statues that Ryu had seen before.

That said... when a voice echoed, it was eerily similar in that there were nine voices speaking atop of one another.

The more they spoke, the brighter Young Master Moon's eyes shone until they were as bright and wide as torches.

His understanding of the world was being overturned in real time.

He hadn't even known that there were worlds outside of his own, but to think that not only were there, but there were many worlds where the Fey weren't even the rulers.

The nine figures wove a tale of tales, speaking about the continuous clash of the Fey with the Ancient

Beasts.

But this was hardly the most shocking part of it all. As the final bits of information settled in, Young Master Moon stood in a daze for a long while, staring off into blank space without much focus at all.

Dao God Shy stood by his side and didn't say a single word, simply allowing things to play out as they might.

There weren't many who earned the right to come here, but those that did all tended to have differing reactions.

The through-line that tied them all together, though, was this pensive sort of silence. Geniuses would think first, then react later. Young Master Moon was taking his time to process what he had

just learned and understand how that would impact his current life.

This struggle between Fey and Beast wasn't something that he ever expected to hear of...

Was that why the Beasts in this world were so suppressed? But then that would mean that in other worlds, it just might be the opposite. That couldn't help but leave him feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

The idea of his Race being pressed down beneath the foot of another felt like a slap to his own face. It was the same reason he was so infuriated by the death of his elder brother. It wasn't that he loved him so much, but rather that a person could know of their relationship and yet somehow still be bold enough to act.

It was enough to make his stomach turn with disgust.

But that also made him wonder...

It made sense that the Beasts were so suppressed considering their history, but what about the Human Race? Why did they put so much effort into suppressing them as well?

"What is the plan?" Young Master Moon finally asked.

"We will call some help over to finish off this war... or, rather, it can be said that we'll be mutually aiding one another. Once they've finished tying up the loose ends with us over here, we will be helping them to take control of their world as well"

"Are they facing off against beasts? A fighting intent flared in Young Master Moon's eyes. He had always thought that dragons were just the stuff of fantasies, and phoenixes were just fairy tales... but now, he really wanted to feel what it would be like to slaughter these powerful beasts.

"The ruler of that world is actually..."

"Humans."

Young Master Moon's gaze flickered as he came to a realization. It seemed that they had fallen so far in some places that even Humans could suppress them.

"Do not take Humans lightly. They are our enemy for a reason even deeper than the Ancient Beasts. "The Ancient Beasts are the antithesis of what we once were. However, the Humans have the capability to adapt and change to all circumstances. They can fit into our roles even better than we can sometimes.

"Although their floor is much lower than ours, their ceiling has just as much potential."

Young Master Moon fell into silence again, remembering that the Human Emperor had somehow managed to become a Peak Dao God when everyone thought his lifespan was reaching its end. There was no doubt that this matter was a shocking surprise... and it should be more than enough reason to not take Humans lightly any longer.

But in those words, Dao God Shy had said something that would cause many to raise eyebrows... The Ancient Beasts are the antithesis of what we once were....

The words didn't make much sense. Ancient Beasts were in tune with the Heavens, as were the Fey. They literally represented the Moon and the Sun at their highest levels. How could they be the antithesis?

And that was none other than because of the shocking revelation the statues had just revealed to him...

The Fey descended from Fiends.
