Fantasy: I’m Really Not A Supreme Master!
Chapter 1198 - 1089: The Past of the Divine Jumper

"There are some things, it is time to tell you all..."

In the Fan Family, within a Secret Hall.

Fan Changshou spoke, his elderly eyes revealing for the first time an unprecedented solemnity:

"These matters, you must remember firmly...they are related to our Fan Family's past, and future!"

Fan Qingyun, Fan Yaoyao, and Fan Paiming also became serious.

"The Fan tribe...once had the bloodline of the Forebears!"

Fan Changshou spoke gravely:

"Our ancestors were one of the creators of the Forbidden World among the twelve ancestral Forebears!"

"Countless years ago, the Forebears lit the Lamp of Origin, built the Forbidden World. Originally, if the Lamp of Origin had continued to burn for an eon...then the Forbidden World would have become a Pure Land of Life that not even the darkness could invade."

"Because within the Lamp of Origin was contained the purest White Mist Origin, as well as the Dark Origin... The Flame of White Mist burning the Dark Origin would create a rule in the Forbidden World that devours all darkness..."

Upon saying this, he let out a sigh:

"Unfortunately, when darkness struck, the twelve ancestral Forebears had to venture into the darkness..."

"They all died."

At this point, Fan Qingyun's face was greatly shaken. He had not expected that the Fan Family actually had...

Such an origin!

These matters, within the whole Fan Family, only Fan Changshou alone was aware!

"So...we are the bloodline of the Forebears..."

He murmured, then said:

"Later on, to save the Forebear ancestors, the Forebears shone upon their corpses with the Flame of White Mist, right..."

He remembered the legend of the Lamp of Origin.

The twelve ancestral Forebears, in their resistance to darkness, fell within it, and the Forebear Tribe used the power within the Flame of White Mist to illuminate their corpses, transforming them into countless fire stars within Samsara...

Until just a while back, rumors began to circulate in the world that the last vestiges of those twelve had reappeared in the Forbidden World...

But Fan Changshou shook his head, saying:

"That's only part of the truth."

"The Forebears extinguished the Flame of White Mist...they were actually deceived."

"When our ancestors went into the darkness, they had anticipated their own demise, and thus expressly instructed the tribe not to extinguish the flame, even leaving behind a seal so that the tribe couldn't touch that Ancient Lamp."

"It was a Divine Jumper who came to our Tribe..."

"He broke the seal of the twelve ancestral Forebears and extinguished the Flame of White Mist, claiming it was to save our ancestors, but we later learned...that was not his true intention."

"He put out the Flame of White Mist to extract the White Mist Origin from it...according to conjecture by ancestors of my ancestors, those White Mist Origins should belong to some unspeakable powerful individual."

"The Divine Jumper extracted those origins, perhaps to save that unspeakable powerful individual; because once the Lamp of Origin is entirely burned out, that supreme being's life would probably also come to a complete end..."

Fan Changshou's words were slow, but they shook Fan Qingyun and others to the core.

In ancient rumors, there indeed was another side to the story.

"What happened after that?" Fan Qingyun asked instinctively.

"Afterward, the Divine Jumper, taking the White Mist Origin, ventured into the darkness..."

Fan Changshou opened his mouth and sighed, "He said, there will be a time when an unspeakable being would return..."

"And my great-great-great grandfather said that the Divine Jumper promised, he took away the White Mist Origin just to save someone, but he would use another method to turn the Forbidden World into a Pure Land of Life."

"He wished the powerful individual who created the Lamp of Origin to be alive... and also wanted to use his own method to free the Forbidden World from the shadow of darkness once more!"

Upon hearing this, Fan Qingyun and the others felt even more weight in their hearts.

Such tumultuous upheavals existed in the ancient past!

After the demise of the twelve ancestral Forebears, the Divine Jumper had once ventured alone into the darkness...

Who exactly was this character?

"What was his method?"

Fan Qingyun asked.

Fan Changshou replied:

"Unknown, probably no one in this world knows anymore... However, he left behind a prophecy: 'When the Flame of Darkness alarms the Hanque Mountain Range, the Forebears' destiny lies within the forbidden lands. Seeking the Sacred Origin as the Wild Sky rises, the battle flag Indestructible, Lei Ting falls!'"

"I think, from the moment the anomaly occurred in the Hanque Mountain Range, his contingency for the world must have already begun..."

"Perhaps, the Flame of Darkness has now been kindled in the world..."

Fan Qingyun pondered:

"Therefore, the Flame of Darkness startled the Hanque, and when the Hanque Mountain Range faced its calamity, you dared to act as the second line says, sending Paiming and Yaoyao, because the legacy of the Forebears lies within the forbidden lands..."

Fan Changshou nodded and said:

"Right... I can only take a gamble, just one gamble."

A trace of bitterness appeared on his face as he said:

"Our bloodline of Forebears is weakening with each generation. I can hardly hold on anymore. Without seizing this opportunity, the ancient glory and dreams may never be revived."

Fan Qingyun seemed to understand why Fan Changshou had been so persistent... He was betting on the future of the Fan Family!

"What about the last two lines?"

Fan Paiming continued to inquire.

Fan Changshou said:

"To seek again the Sacred Origin as the Wild Sky rises... Do you know why there have been so many Great Emperors in the world after the Forebears?"

"Because... the Sacred Soil, Holy Water, Innate Imperial Gold, Qi of the Greater Yin and Greater Yang, etc., that were refined from obscurity by the Forebears... all were taken away."

A flash of hatred shone from his aging eyes as he said:

"The Forebears sacrificed themselves, shooting down the sun day by day, breaking the seas to fashion the heavens, only to create a small Pure Land of Life, and spread the laws of cultivation throughout the world..."

"But after the ancestors fell into darkness, there were those in the world who, taking advantage of the extinguished Flame of White Mist and the grievous injury to the Forebears' Tribe, robbed the Forebears amidst the flames..."

"Everything in the Pure Land of Life was plundered... The Forebears could only flee and hide!"

"Lei Ting was no exception. The reason why the Thunder Emperor attained his Dao was merely because he had seized a strand of Sacred Origin!"

Upon hearing these words, Fan Paiming, Yaoyao, and the others couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in their hearts.

The Forebears created the world, spreading the laws, but when the first of the Forebears perished in darkness, and the Tribe of Forebears was severely damaged... the Pure Land of Life they had created with their blood and sweat was divided among others!

This... was outrageous.

"For many years, those exalted emperors have... relentlessly hunted down our people."

"Because they simply do not allow the Forebears to continue to exist in the world!"

"This is the reason we have become weaker and weaker. In the past, our clan had powerful Cultivators emerge, some even challenged Lei Ting, but... they all died."

With tears sliding down his eyes, Fan Changshou said:

"My ancestors, the ancestors of my ancestors... they all died at the hands of Lei Ting!"

He clenched his fists tightly, his elderly eyes burning crimson, and said:

"I have been waiting, waiting for the prophecy of the Divine Jumper to come true... Only then will we have a chance for revenge!"

"Now, the opportunity for revenge has come... To seek again the Sacred Origin, Lei Ting shall fall!"

He looked up at Fan Paiming and Yaoyao and said:

"The opportunity you encountered this time can surely bring down Lei Ting... That's why, I must let you enter the view of Lei Ting!"

"Because only by first taking the identity of the Heavenly Destined Child and entering the Thunder Path Pure Land can you confront Lei Ting... Otherwise, once the Thunder Emperor hides, seeking revenge will be impossible to find."

This is why he did all of this, to deal with the Zeng Family, to deliberately show himself before Shui Jing and the others!

Revenge! Revenge!

"Paiming... On your journey to the Forbidden Mountain Range, what exactly did you encounter?"

Fan Qingyun asked Fan Paiming and the others.

Fan Changshou was also very concerned, his eyes filled with anticipation!

Fan Paiming said:

"We met our ancestor... and... our ancestor's master..."

He spoke weakly, but Fan Changshou and Fan Qingyun were both stunned.

The ancestor, as well as the ancestor's master?

What kind of riddle was this...

...
