When Liunian Ling revealed the truth, the entire deck fell into silence. Guhan sat there in a daze, not saying a word, while Liunian Ling lowered her head and sobbed. After who knew how long, Liunian Ling finally stopped crying. She looked at Guhan in confusion and asked, "Why don't you find it strange?
Why don't you ask me why? "
After calming down, Liunian Ling did find it very strange. When she first learned the shocking truth, she did not recover for a full three days. She was immersed in great pain, sorrow, and disbelief.
A normal person's first reaction after hearing this news would be to immediately ask her the reason!
But this Guhan did not do anything apart from staring blankly … It was as if he already knew this news.
"Could it be that you already knew this?" Liunian Ling asked with widened eyes.
"No … I just learned this from you …" Guhan's expression changed, and he said very stiffly.
"Then why don't you ask me the reason?" Liunian Ling asked again.
"I was very confused at first, but after you said that, I suddenly understood!" Guhan sighed.
"What did you understand?" Liunian Ling blinked.
"I understand why Kenzu brought the Black Tortoise into the Eternal Door of Truth … I could not understand why Kenzu did that no matter how hard I tried. Now I understand. If Kenzu did not kick the Black Tortoise in, I'm afraid your Liu Nian Family would not exist at all … Or rather, the Liu Nian Family would still exist, but it would not be your Liu Nian Family!" Guhan said calmly.
"Looks like you've really thought it through!"
Liunian Ling let out a long sigh, "That's right. I only found out half a year ago that your cousin, Gu Xuanwu, was actually the wife of our Old Ancestor. Our entire Liu Nian Family is the descendant of our Old Ancestor and Old Ancestor, and you are our Old Ancestor's Old Ancestor's Old Ancestor!"
Following that, Liunian Ling told a story that spanned a whole thousand years.
Ever since Gu Xuanwu returned to a thousand years ago through the Eternal Door of Truth, there were still eight days before the apocalypse.
The first thing Gu Xuanwu did when he returned to that era was to seek revenge on Kenzu. After 12 long days of searching, Gu Xuanwu actually found Kenzu hiding in the ruins.
Just as Gu Xuanwu was about to seek revenge on Kenzu, a powerful Yuan Kou attacked Gu Xuanwu and Kenzu. Gu Xuanwu and that Yuan Kou fought a great battle. Although Gu Xuanwu successfully killed his opponent, Gu Xuanwu was also heavily injured. In the end, he only recovered under Kenzu's care.
Because he was saved by the sword ancestor, it was not good for Gu Xuanwu to kill the sword ancestor again. Thus, Gu Xuanwu expressed that he would first save the sword ancestor's life and repay him for saving his life before killing him to take revenge.
The two of them intertwined and lived together for a long period of time. Later on, Gu Xuanwu temporarily left Kenzu for unknown reasons. At that time, Kenzu had already fallen deeply in love with Gu Xuanwu.
The history after that was more or less the same as the official records. After Kenzu's temporary camp in WH City fell, he brought the remaining survivors and traveled a long distance to old Beijing City. They lived there for two years. Finally, old Beijing City was conquered by Yuan Kou. Kenzu was appointed in the face of danger and became the leader of humanity, starting a long war.
For a long time, Kenzu and Gu Xuanwu did not meet again. Later on, when the new Beijing City was built, Gu Xuanwu and Qin Shihuang appeared in front of Kenzu together, wanting to kill Kenzu together with Qin Shihuang.
In the end, Kenzu was invincible and defeated Gu Xuanwu and Qin Shihuang together with his own power. In the end, a hidden flood-level Yuan Kou, who was also Gu Xuanwu's enemy, launched a sneak attack on Gu Xuanwu, intending to kill her while she was weak.
At the critical moment, Kenzu used his own body to block the flood-level Yuan Kou's attack and fell into a coma. His life was in Gu Xuanwu's hands … After being saved by Kenzu twice, Gu Xuanwu could only look up to the sky and sigh. In the end, she gave up her hatred for Kenzu and turned to save Kenzu with Qin Shihuang. That was how Kenzu managed to survive.
After that, Gu Xuanwu, Kenzu, and Qin Shihuang completely turned enemies into friends. They immediately swore to become brother and sister with different surnames and to never betray each other in this life.
After that, the three of them went on adventures together. During this time, Kenzu became an Emperor Sword level sword wielder, becoming the first Emperor Sword level sword wielder of the human race.
Gu Xuanwu also mastered his sword skills and became a flood-level mixed-blood human.
In the end, Qin Shihuang buried himself in a coffin due to the backlash from the Art of Immortality and fell into a deep sleep.
After Qin Shihuang fell into a deep sleep, Kenzu finally proposed to Gu Xuanwu on an extremely romantic night. Gu Xuanwu finally agreed to Kenzu's proposal and the two of them held a grand wedding. The entire human race celebrated the union of the two of them … It was also because of Kenzu and Gu Xuanwu's combined power that they truly conquered the entire world. They beat up the elites of Yuan Kou to the point where they did not dare to show their faces and suppressed the entire world for a while.
After that, Gu Xuanwu gave birth to Kenzu's only son: Fleeting Tianhan.
The couple lived in harmony for more than ten years. However, one day, Gu Xuanwu's secret was accidentally exposed. It was only then that the humans found out that Gu Xuanwu was actually a mixed-blood human and Yuan Kou.
At that time, the humans were not as tolerant towards mixed-bloods as they were now. This was because the humans at that time had barely survived the apocalypse and were filled with hatred towards Yuan Kou. They did not allow a mixed-blood human and Yuan Kou to become the wife of the highest human leader. They worked together to force Kenzu to divorce Gu Xuanwu and exile Fleeting Tianhan and Gu Xuanwu's child to marry a human as his wife.
Kenzu naturally did not agree to this and strongly objected to it. This gave an opportunity for the ambitious humans who were trying to steal Kenzu's highest leadership position.
They joined forces with the other two Sword Emperors, as well as almost all the Immortal Sword level sword-bearers, and launched an attack against the Sword Ancestor. In a fit of rage, the Sword Ancestor drew his sword and stood upright. With one sword, he fought against ten thousand swords, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere. The humans were about to experience the most serious civil strife after the Great Apocalypse, and the top forces of the entire human race might be destroyed.
For the sake of the overall situation, Gu Xuanwu finally left the Sword Ancestor with Fleeting Cold Sky. Only then did the internal strife calm down under the mediation of a third party. However, the Sword Ancestor was deeply affected. From then on, he hid in Fleeting Time Mountain and never came out, no longer caring about human affairs.
It was also at this time that the Heavenly Court descended from the Dimensional Gate … With three desolate-level Yuan Kou, the Heavenly Court was extremely arrogant. With absolute power, they suppressed most of the other Yuan Kou's and launched an unprecedented attack on Yanjing City. A total of five desolate-level Yuan Kou's and ten flood-level Yuan Kou's launched an all-out attack on Yanjing City.
Although the humans still had three Emperor Sword wielders without Kenzu, they were no match for five desolate-level Yuan Kou's. Moreover, the Dimensional Defense System had just been developed at that time, and the energy limit was not as terrifying as it was now. The entire Yanjing City was in a precarious situation, and it looked like it was going to be destroyed.
Only then did the humans remember Kenzu. Seven groups of sword-bearers broke out of Yanjing City and came to Fleeting Mountain, begging Kenzu to help the humans survive this disaster. However, Kenzu's door was still tightly shut, and he did not care about these people's pleas.
The situation had reached its most critical point, and the humans had no other choice. The two Emperor Sword wielders who had participated in the attack on Kenzu rushed to Fleeting Mountain late at night and knelt in front of Kenzu's door. Without saying anything, they took out their swords and planned to commit suicide in front of Kenzu's door, using their lives to beg Kenzu to come out of the mountain.
Finally, Kenzu chose to forgive them. He walked out of the mountain and returned to Yanjing City with the two Emperor Sword wielders … At that moment, Yanjing City was only left with the weak Core Area.
Kenzu and all the other sword-bearers had gone through an arduous battle. They had killed the two Desolation Level Yuan Kou's of the Heavenly Court, leaving only the Jade Emperor as the sole survivor.
The other two Desolation Level Yuan Kou's, who had come to help, were so scared that they peed their pants. This massive invasion had finally ended with Yuan Kou's defeat. Because the Heavenly Court had lost the two Desolation Level Yuan Kou's, its power had become weaker. It could not suppress the other Yuan Kou's forces, and Yuan Kou itself was in chaos.
After this catastrophe, Kenzu's power had deeply shocked all of the humans. There was no one among the humans who did not dare to oppose Kenzu anymore.
Kenzu had also found the evil spirits and monsters that had been plotting in the dark and killed them all. Then, he made an agreement with all of the humans. No matter how many years had passed, humans were not allowed to point their swords at their own kind. Humans had to maintain absolute unity in order to survive in this tragic, chaotic world.
At the same time, he also made an agreement that humans could not discriminate against humans and Yuan Kou's mixed-blood. As long as these mixed-blood's hearts were on the humans' side, humans had to treat them as their own kind.
In short, there were many treaties and rules that still existed even now. They had become laws that affected humans for more than a thousand years.
In the years that followed, Kenzu began his journey to find the Black Tortoise and his son, Fleeting Tianhan.
No one knew what had happened in the past few years. Even the Fleeting Family's records did not have any records. They only knew that although Kenzu had not found the Black Tortoise, he had found his son, Fleeting Tianhan, and brought him back.
After that, there was the shocking battle that had led to Kenzu's disappearance. The humans who had lost Kenzu cried out in pain, and the surrounding Yuan Kou's forces began to move again. The remaining Jiandi's were not strong enough to deal with the Yuan Kou's invasion.
Fleeting Tianhan stood up at the most crucial moment. Although he was only an Immortal Sword Tier swordsman, he displayed a rare display of power that was equivalent to that of a Desolation Level Yuan Kou.
It was only then that the humans remembered that Fleeting Tianhan actually had a quarter of Yuan Kou's bloodline in his body. He could also use Yuan Kou's method to become strong, and he did not have to be limited to being stronger than the Swordmistress.
With Fleeting Tianhan's power, the humans finally fought to a draw with the Yuan Kou, and the power of the humans naturally passed into Fleeting Tianhan's hands. Fleeting Tianhan had used various methods to consolidate power, and he had truly become the ruler of the humans. Just like the Qin Emperor, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he had firm control over the entire human world.
This was also the source of the Fleeting Family's power in the human world for 1,000 years. If Kenzu could be said to be the Han Dynasty's Gaozu, then Fleeting Tianhan could be said to be the Han Dynasty's Emperor Gaozu.
Fleeting Tianhan was the Han Dynasty's Emperor Wu, who had defeated the Xiongnu and created the Han Dynasty.
Everyone thought that Fleeting Tianhan would use his power to vindicate his mother and bring her back. However, to everyone's surprise, Fleeting Tianhan announced that he would completely erase all information about the Gu Xuanwu. He even wanted to erase all human memories of the Gu Xuanwu, which led to the Great Cultural Destruction.
In the end, Fleeting Tianhan succeeded. He successfully erased all information about the Gu Xuanwu. Apart from the Swordmistresses who retained their memories of the Gu Xuanwu, the rest of the humans had completely forgotten about the Gu Xuanwu, until today.
Of course, the Fleeting Family could not erase the records. Instead, they passed it down to their descendants in great detail.
In the last part of the Solid Black Tortoise's records, when Fleeting Tianhan was about to pass away, the second-generation ancestor of the Fleeting Clan had summoned his son and grandson to his bedside and left them with these words.
He said that in the future, an unknown time, a human called Guhan would be born. This human was very important to the Fleeting Family, and the Fleeting Family had to watch over him from afar to ensure that he could live until he reached adulthood.
However, they could not interfere with his life. They had to let him grow up freely … unless his life was threatened, they could not interfere with Guhan's life.
However, if Guhan obtained the long-lost Qingpin Sword of the Liu Family, they had to do everything they could to snatch the Qingpin Sword from him and destroy it. They could not allow the sword to remain in this world, or the entire human race would face the threat of extinction.
At the same time, he asked the direct descendants of the Liunian Family to carry a piece of the Sword Ancestor's Sword Soul Mark at all times. Once they encountered Gilgamesh, they had to release the Sword Ancestor's Sword Soul Mark and let the Sword Ancestor personally kill this old opponent.
In the beginning, the Fleeting Family firmly remembered Fleeting Tianhan's words. They spread out their tentacles throughout the world in search of that person called Guhan. In the end, after more than nine hundred years, the Fleeting Family found nothing. Guhan never appeared, either. Gradually, the Fleeting Family let down their guard and no longer cared about this matter. The tentacles searching for Guhan also stopped.
In the end, just as the Fleeting Family let down their guard, Guhan was born.
It was only when Liunian Ling went to Yuzhang City's Sword Pavilion in search of the Yi Xian Sword that she met with Guhan and saved her life with Guhan's help that the Fleeting Family learned of Guhan's existence. They also learned that the Qingpin Sword was in Guhan's hands.
Although the Fleeting Family was careless, they did not dare to go against the will of their ancestors. They immediately sent Takasaka Rena to snatch the Qingpin Sword away, which led to the battle in the Meiling Mountain Range.
However, the heavens never followed the will of humans. In the end, not only did Guhan's Qingpin Sword not get snatched away, it even absorbed the power of the Severed Green Silk and became the Twin Sword Lady, truly opening the door to invincibility for themselves.
There was nothing much to say about what happened next. The Fleeting Family used the Severed Green Silk as bait to lure Guhan into the Fleeting Family Mountain.
After knocking Guhan out, Fleeting Wooden Fish personally examined Guhan's body and discovered that the Qingpin Sword had completely fused with Guhan. If they wanted to snatch the sword away, they would definitely harm Guhan's life. This became a difficult choice.
In the end, the Fleeting Family chose to observe Guhan and did their best to satisfy Guhan's requests. At the same time, they sent Takasaka Rena to keep an eye on Guhan. If she discovered anything wrong with Qingpin, she would immediately assassinate Guhan.
