Chapter 979: Chapter 855: The Heaviest Fate, Zhen Sui Hu Zhu

Everything is shit, who wouldn’t want to become someone above others?

Once someone becomes a person above others, who would willingly fall back down and say fate doesn’t matter?

Staring at the iron coffin in front of him, slowly lifting a seam, the Chen Family’s Head’s complex emotions all turned into frenzy. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

The ancestors of the Chen Family lived in poverty, and out of necessity, learned the craft of pestle-making from others, just to have a meal to eat. This became incredibly precious to the Chen Family, and they always kept an ancestral plaque of a person with the surname He at home, offering incense and tribute to him each year.

The reason being, it was this person who initially passed on this craft to the Chen Family, enabling them to have a decent meal and thus ensure steady livelihoods for generations.

The Chen Family’s Head, from childhood, remembered the lesson to stay within their means, practice their craft, earn their living, and ignore idle talk from others.

Of course, families with such ancestral teachings are usually used to being talked about by others for generations.

The Chen Family’s Head grew up hearing such idle talk since childhood.

In fact, by the time he was born, the Chen Family’s situation had already changed. Although they were still practicing pestle-making, the descent of Tai Sui had brought many mystical dharma methods to the world.

After coming into contact with the cursing sect, the Chen Family, drawing on their family legacy of dealing with corpses over generations, figured out many skills and began to secretly gain a prominent name, enough to have a significant standing in the jianghu.

Yet the real aristocratic families and chaebols still looked down on the Chen Family.

Or rather, it wasn’t just the Chen Family; all ten surnames were like this at the time.

Clearly possessing astonishing skills, those lords of aristocratic families and chaebols also started fearing them, yet still looked down on them.

The rightful young master of the cursing sect fell for a magistrate’s daughter during a lake outing, and when a matchmaker was sent with a substantial betrothal to propose, they weren’t even let inside.

The gifts brought for the proposal were all tossed out.

Seething with anger, relying on his skills, he decided to seek an explanation. But just as he reached the door, he stopped short.

Because he saw people cleaning the ground.

A person dealing with corpses, coming to propose marriage, and even stepping on the threshold was considered inauspicious.

The disdain was profound beyond words, sapping even the desire to argue from him.

Thinking back now, perhaps, it was those initially branded as evil spirit Reincarnators who helped the ten surnames?

The Chen Family’s Head was too keenly aware of the situation, seeing it with absolute clarity that at the time, the Duyi Royal Family and the aristocratic families and chaebols were increasingly wary of the ten surnames.

These families, though of humble origin, had learned world-shaking skills, while those aristocratic families and chaebols initially looked down on these skills as fringe and unconventional. Yet, when they realized their significance and wanted to learn, it was already too late.

The ten surnames had hidden the real skills away, not revealing them to others. Who would willingly surrender them?

Therefore, without the involvement of the Reincarnators, perhaps Duyi and the jianghu represented by the ten surnames would have clashed sooner or later.

Either the ten surnames would overthrow Duyi and establish a new dynasty, or Duyi and the aristocratic families and chaebols would annihilate the ten surnames.

This was inevitable.

In essence, it was the boldness of those Reincarnators that aided the ten surnames, handing them the entire world at an immense bargain.

In one sweep, the ten surnames became the highest status in the world, dividing territories among themselves, using the structures left by Duyi to govern the world through jianghu. During this time, those who once looked down upon the ten surnames, held their noses high, were almost all thoroughly dealt with.

It was then that one could marry whoever they wanted, even those from the Prefect’s house sought intermediaries to ask for one’s intentions.

Other families mostly did the same, marrying into aristocratic families and chaebols, just like the Hu Family where the silent and humorless Young Master Hu Shan married the daughter of the Ren Family from Shangjing?

But I am different.

I still remember the scene of someone fetching water to clean the ground for a marriage proposal, so how could a mere daughter of a Prefect’s house catch my eye?

The Chen Family has already established its own family door with world-renowned skills, who needs her, a mere mortal woman?

If one is to marry, it should be the noblest lineage.

And aside from the Duyi Royal Family, who else in this world has the noblest lineage?

Even when cursing Duyi viciously and boasting arrogantly, there’s still reverence when mentioning the lineage of the Duyi Royal Family.

Especially since, those Reincarnators acted so ruthlessly, annihilating the Duyi lineage in one blow, making its scarcity increase its value. In the world, others may find it hard to encounter, but with the skills of the ten surnames, it’s not difficult.

However, for various reasons, many are satisfied merely with finding someone, regardless of age, gender, or condition.

But I cannot; I must find someone of appropriate age, whose lineage is not more than five generations removed, and who is a birthing woman.

He searched for a full ten years, during which time he married Ah Bao’s mother and had Ah Bao.

Sometimes he felt there was almost no hope, yet finally, he found a woman at this time, only, as if fate were playing a joke, when the Chen Family’s Head arrived, he found the woman had already died from illness, and had been buried for three days.

Others would merely sigh in helpless resignation, but he was different, being someone in the Path, most adept in skills related to corpses.

Thus, he used an immeasurable amount of Blood Tai Sui, summoned countless Purple Tai Sui, and exhausted every Splendid Technique to overturn yin and yang, finally managing to bring her back and have her bear him a child.

Only, this woman ultimately did not belong to the human world, and the child was unlike others. Born in a coffin, neither living nor dead, destined to become...
