At the same time, Fleeting Wooden Fish even secretly extracted Guhan's blood and compared it to the Fleeting Family's DNA in an attempt to find the relationship between Guhan and the Fleeting Family.
As Guhan's surname was Gu, the Fleeting Family had always suspected that Guhan was either Gu Xuanwu and Kenzu's child, or Gu Xuanwu and another man's child. However, no matter who it was, the child would still be related to the Fleeting Family by blood.
In order to prove this, Fleeting Wooden Fish extracted Guhan's blood.
After the DNA test, the Liunian Family came to the conclusion that Gu Han was indeed related to the Liunian Family by blood. Moreover, they were the direct descendants of the Liunian Family with a gap of 27 to 28 generations … This discovery made the Liunian Family terrified. They could not understand it. According to the result of the DNA test, Gu Han should be a person who lived 1,000 years ago, the same generation as the Sword Ancestor. Otherwise, how could there be a gap of 27 to 28 generations?
However, Guhan had clearly lived in the same era as them. Thinking back to the prophecy that Fleeting Cold had left behind, explaining Guhan's existence, the Fleeting Family guessed that Guhan was actually someone from a thousand years ago. He might even be Gu Xuanwu's father, who had come to the future through a tunnel of time. That was why Fleeting Cold could predict Guhan's existence.
With this discovery, the Fleeting Family's attitude towards Guhan completely changed. Even when Guhan asked for 10,000 cc of Sovereign's blood, the Fleeting Family generously gave it to him. After all, it was a request from their ancestor, and the Fleeting Family was not unfilial to that extent.
However, from then on, the Fleeting Family restricted the contact between Liunian Ling and Guhan, deeply afraid that they would fall in love with each other.
However, the world was unpredictable. In the end, Guhan and Liunian Ling still entered the Shanhai Pass together. More importantly, Liunian Ling learned of the Gu Xuanwu's existence and reported the news to the Liunian Clan.
Only now did the Liu Nian Family realize that it wasn't Guhan who had transmigrated from 1000 years ago, but Gu Xuanwu who had transmigrated from 1000 years later.
There was no need to say more about what happened after that. When she met Gilgamesh, Liunian Ling firmly remembered Kenzu's last words and used the Sword Soul Mark.
Kenzu also understood his mission the moment he saw Gu Xuanwu. In order to be able to meet the person he loved in the past, and at the same time to settle the love and hatred between him and his lover, Kenzu kicked Gu Xuanwu into the Door of Truth and Eternity.
This shocking cycle of reincarnation had completely become a closed loop.
Afterwards, Liunian Ling fell deeply into Guhan's love, and told Fleeting Wooden Fish that she wanted to be with Guhan even if it meant cutting ties with the Fleeting Family.
Fleeting Wooden Fish was helpless. His granddaughter had already grown up, and he could no longer hide the truth.
As such, he told Liunian Ling all the Fleeting Family's deepest secrets, and left it up to Liunian Ling to decide her own fate.
After learning the truth, Fleeting Time sank into despair for three whole days. In the end, he decided to end his relationship with Gu Han that should never have existed.
It was precisely because she wanted to understand her relationship with Guhan that Liunian Ling told the whole story in one breath. There were no loopholes in the story, and it was a perfect match to Guhan's experiences. Guhan knew that Liunian Ling was not lying to him, and that she was telling the truth.
Many of the things that Guhan did not understand in his life were explained in that moment. While the matter between Yi Qing and Artoria was still an unknown secret, the Gu Xuanwu and the Liu Nian Family's secrets were explained. Everything was within reason!
In truth, Guhan had already guessed the core storyline of the story before Liunian Ling revealed everything.
Guhan had already guessed that the Gu Xuanwu had returned to the past to fall in love with Kenzu, and that the Liu Nian Family was born. The reason why Kenzu sent the Gu Xuanwu into the Door of Truth and Eternity for no reason, and even taught him the Art of Laws in the Skyscraping 12 Palaces was because Kenzu knew that Guhan was his brother-in-law. In other words, Kenzu knew that Guhan was his father-in-law. That was why he worked so hard.
The Sword Maiden Online was probably the reason why the Gu Xuanwu was able to find Kenzu so easily during the early stages of the Apocalypse. The Gu Xuanwu did not experience many dungeons in the game, but he would definitely experience the game's initial dungeon.
It was also through this initial dungeon that the Gu Xuanwu clearly understood everything that Kenzu had experienced in the early stages.
Guhan even believed that the role that players played in the early stages was actually the role that the Gu Xuanwu had played back then.
After helping Kenzu with the synchronization, he was attacked by Yuan Kou Steel Tooth. The Gu Xuanwu who had just passed through the Door of Truth and Eternity might have lost a lot of strength due to the time travel. He could not even defeat Steel Tooth, and was heavily injured and unconscious. In the end, he was saved by Kenzu who had completed the synchronization.
The reason why Kenzu could directly go to the museum to find the King of Yue, Goujian Jian, was probably because of the hint given by the Gu Xuanwu. Or rather, it was the Gu Xuanwu who had commanded him to confirm Kenzu's identity.
The fact that Kenzu was able to figure out all of the Sword Maiden's abilities and settings, as well as how to use and strengthen the Sword Maiden in an extremely short period of time was probably because the Gu Xuanwu had brought it from 1,000 years in the future to 1,000 years in the past.
Otherwise, based on the humans' critical situation at the time and their lack of understanding of the Sword Maiden, Guhan was worried that the humans might not even understand how to strengthen the Sword Maiden, or whether the Sword Maiden was trustworthy, and would have been wiped out by Yuan Kou.
From this point of view, the Gu Xuanwu's time travel could be said to have saved the world.
It was precisely because of her time travel that the humans grasped the Sword Maiden's combat power in the first place and used the power they could use to the extreme. Without the Gu Xuanwu's time travel, it was a huge question whether the era after 1,000 years would still exist.
As a result, another closed cycle was formed. Guhan suddenly felt that he did not even have a reason to hate Kenzu. Without the Kenzu's step in front of the Door of Truth and Eternity, perhaps there would not be the existence of humans now.
Thinking of this, Gu Han's heart suddenly became a lot more comfortable.
Of course, there were still many other unanswered secrets, such as where did the Gu Xuanwu go after separating from Kenzu, and what happened?
Most importantly, how did Guhan and Artoria give birth to the Gu Xuanwu? This was still a huge mystery, and Guhan could not find any clues.
In addition, Guhan also felt that Takasaka Rena, the Past Water Sword, was not ordinary. Her role was not as simple as Liunian Ling's story made it out to be. She was not a simple watcher at all. Otherwise, Takasaka Rena would not have become his Sword Maiden, nor would she know so many ancient secrets …
Was it because the Liunian Family was still hiding something from him, or was it because of Takasaka Rena's strange background that she had to hide something from the Liunian Clan? Or was there even a force behind Takasaka Rena who used her as a pawn? These were all questions that Guhan needed to find out.
Whatever the case, the relationship between Guhan and the Liunian Family was now completely cleared up. This also made things extremely awkward for Guhan and Liunian Ling.
Guhan believed that the Liunian Family did not lie about this, and the DNA test could not be false. Fleeting Tianhan was the son of the Gu Xuanwu, which meant that he was Guhan's grandson.
Fleeting Tianhan was the second generation ancestor of the Liunian Family. All the descendants of the Liunian Family were of Fleeting Tianhan's bloodline, and Liunian Ling was no exception.
This meant that Liunian Ling was actually the 27th generation descendant of the Gu Xuanwu … Although Liunian Ling thought that Guhan and the Gu Xuanwu were siblings, and Guhan was her great-great-uncle, Guhan was actually Liunian Ling's direct ancestor, and Liunian Ling was Guhan's 28th generation descendant.
…
"You already know the truth of the matter!
Now you should understand why we can't be together! "
Liunian Ling raised her head to stop her tears from flowing. "You're my ancestor, and your blood flows in my veins. I'm your descendant. We can't be together!"
"…" Gu Han didn't say anything. He lowered his head, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Haha!
Do you feel a lot of pain?
A lot of resentment? "
Liunian Ling smiled bitterly, "These are all my feelings back then. I'll let you have a taste of them … Alright, I'm leaving.
If you're willing, you can visit the Liunian Family. After all, the people there are your descendants.
However, it's impossible for us to meet again. "
"What about in the future?
What do you plan to do in the future? "Guhan raised his head and asked Liunian Ling.
"Me?
I'm probably going to find someone to marry! "
Liunian Ling smiled bitterly, "I'm the only one left of the Liunian Family's direct bloodline. I must inherit the Liunian Family.
It just so happens that the Noble Scholar Family has sent someone to propose marriage to my grandfather. I've already agreed. I'll marry him and live the rest of my life well. "
"Is that so?"
Guhan stood up and looked down at Liunian Ling, who was only wearing two undergarments. "What if I don't agree?
What if I don't agree to you marrying that person? "
"What right do you have to disagree?" Liunian Ling said hatefully.
"Didn't you say it just now?
I'm your 28th generation ancestor. Since the ancestor said that you can't marry him, do you still dare to disobey the ancestor's orders? "Guhan said coldly.
"Guhan, don't go too far. We're only related by blood, yet you want to order me around? Keep dreaming!"
Fleeting Cold stomped his foot on the ground, and was about to leave through the Void Gate when the Void Gate opened up.
However, she hadn't expected Guhan to follow right after Liunian Ling entered the Void Gate. They were less than a thousandth of a second apart, so Liunian Ling didn't even have time to close the Void Gate. The two of them entered the Void together.
"What are you doing?
Why are you still bothering me?
Didn't I already tell you everything clearly?!
It's impossible for us to be together!
I'm begging you to let me go, my ancestor Guhan! "Liunian Ling screamed.
"Maybe I really am your ancestor!"
Guhan hugged Liunian Ling's waist and rested his chin on Liunian Ling's shoulder. He whispered into Liunian Ling's ear, "But you just said that we're only related by blood. I don't have the right to order you around. You've never really treated me as your ancestor!"
"Ling!
I just figured it out. After 28 generations of inheritance, the blood in our bodies, or DNA, has thinned to 1/268435456. This is no different from two ordinary lovers. We can still be together! "Guhan murmured.
"You're crazy … You're a lunatic … You're a pervert … We're obviously direct relatives … How can we be ordinary lovers?" Liunian Ling struggled to say.
"No, you're wrong. According to the Xuanyuan Sword, all humans in the world are descendants of Gongsun Xuanyuan. Does that mean all humans in the world are committing incest?"
Guhan hugged Liunian Ling even tighter. "Let go of those unnecessary worries. Whether it's the laws before or after the Great Destruction, all the rules state that we're related by blood within three generations … We've already had 28 generations. Why do you still care about these useless things?"
"…" Liunian Ling didn't say anything, but her body began to tremble violently.
This meant that a drastic change had occurred in her heart. She had been persuaded by Guhan. The psychological defense that she had persevered in her heart for two years was breaking down.
Guhan understood that this was the most critical moment. He simply turned Liunian Ling's body around in his arms. Their eyes met. Then, he kissed Liunian Ling's lips fiercely.
"Give me your tongue … I'll let you know what love is!"
Guhan said in a low voice … This time, Guhan didn't put his tongue in like last time. Instead, he waited patiently outside Liunian Ling's lips, waiting for Liunian Ling to take the initiative to stick out her tongue.
After an unknown amount of time, Liunian Ling's lips finally began to move. After a long struggle, they slowly opened, and a small moist corner of her mouth sighed slightly … Guhan finally waited for the opportunity he needed, and also waited for the moment when Liunian Ling opened her heart … Guhan bit down and sucked Liunian Ling's lips without hesitation. The two of them finally had a real tongue kiss.
This time, Liunian Ling didn't resist. The two of them embraced and kissed in the void. Their lips and tongues intertwined. Their hands groped each other's body. Their naked skin began to turn slightly red and hot, and a warm current intertwined between their bodies.
Just as the situation was getting better and better, and the story of bloodline and love that had been entangled for two years was about to come to a perfect end, the entire void suddenly became extremely unstable. A series of violent waves completely woke the two of them up.
"Not good!
The void fluctuations are so powerful. Could it be that there's a powerful existence fighting in the void nearby? "
Liunian Ling was the first to react. She quickly put on some clothes and wiped the saliva off her mouth.
She glared fiercely at Guhan, and began to search for the place where the battle took place.
"Sigh!
I've failed at the last step! "Guhan's efforts had failed at the last step, but his heart had already relaxed a lot.
At the very least, the line of defense in Liunian Ling's heart had been mostly broken by him. With the passage of time, Liunian Ling would definitely completely let go of those unnecessary worries, and the two of them would finally have a happy ending.
So, Guhan revealed a smile and chased after Liunian Ling.
Chasing after the place where the fluctuations were the most violent, Liunian Ling and Guhan finally found the place where the battle took place. Then, they saw an incomparably shocking scene between Guhan and Liunian Ling.
On one side of the battle was Long Shi Jiandi, who had just gone to Mermaid Island, and the pirate sword immortal.
On the other side was a snow-white woman with an ice-cold temperament, like a huge block of ice … Beside this woman was a woman with a pair of black wings and a white bone sword in her hand.
This woman in white was actually a sword-bearer!
This was actually a civil war between sword-bearers!
