378: Have you forgotten who you are?

"Even if I am in the Nine Nethers, I can rest in peace..."

A faint voice resounded.

Jiang Churan looked at the brilliant Golden Script that appeared, her heart rate suddenly quickening, and a strange sense of familiarity surged within her.

She involuntarily reached out to touch the characters floating in the air. In an instant, a powerful force swept her into a peculiar space.

When Jiang Churan opened her eyes again, she found herself in a dreamlike scene.

Before her was a cozy small courtyard, filled with blooming flowers and dancing butterflies.

A couple stood smiling by a cradle, looking at the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes. The infant was the young Jiang Churan. G Ming was a gentle young man, and the woman beside him was tender and beautiful, a picture of a happy family of three.

"Brother Ming, the Sequence Battle is in a few days. You should focus more on Cultivation; you don't need to accompany us every day..." The gentle woman said softly, her eyes full of love.

G Ming showed a confident smile and said, "It's fine. Even if Jiang Feng steps into the eighth layer of the Void Reversion Realm, it's nothing to me; I can eliminate him with a flip of my hand. You must believe in your husband's strength!"

"I naturally believe you, but that Jiang Feng is cunning and ruthless. I'm worried about what he might do..." The gentle woman showed a hint of worry, then looked at the baby girl in the swaddling clothes. She even wished G Ming wouldn't contend for the Clan Chief position of the Ancient Desolate Families; she just wanted their family to live happily.

"I understand Jiang Feng's character. Although he's bad, he still has some bottom lines. In matters like this, he wouldn't bother with such things..." G Ming said.

However, at this moment.

"Lan'er, look!" G Ming's trembling finger hovered over the infant's glabella. Nine streams of Sword Qi rose from the baby girl's body, carving profound Sword Runes onto the beams. "This is... a Divine Body??"

The gentle woman's pale post-childbirth face flushed, and she hurriedly pulled the Celestial Silkworm Snow Satin to wrap her daughter.

Outside the window, thunderclouds were gathering, and three thousand sword shadows faintly appeared within the clouds—a premonition of the Indestructible Sword Body's Awakening!

Crack—

Terrifying Sword Intent suddenly emanated from the baby girl, causing a celestial phenomenon. All the swords in the Jiang Family resonated, and a giant sword condensed from the Great Dao appeared in the sky. For a moment, the entire Jiang Family was alarmed!

The gentle woman looked shocked, but G Ming's expression was somewhat grim.

G Ming suddenly bit his tongue, spitting out essence blood to draw a Nine Palaces Restriction in the Void Realm. Eighty-one ancient bronze lamps appeared around the bed, their oil being the extremely precious Divine Rune Essence Qi refined from the hengyu cauldron.

"Seal!"

The next second!

Heaven and Earth fell silent!

The phenomenon instantly vanished.

"Brother Ming, what are you doing...?" The gentle woman looked at G Ming, puzzled.

G Ming looked at the baby girl with a complicated expression.

That night.

G Ming sat alone in the pavilion, silently drinking, and finally sighed helplessly.

"Alas, how I wish you were just an ordinary person..."

The scene shattered with a crash.

"So your Indestructible Sword Body had already Awakened when you were born, and it was your father who sealed it. No wonder it was delayed by a few years; you didn't Cultivate the sword, and I also failed to Awaken..." The Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit murmured as he watched this scene, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Jiang Churan, hearing this, looked at the scenes without a word. She couldn't remember any of this.

She was too young then.

The scene shifted!

"Ming'er, still trying to hide it from Old Ancestor?"

The Jiang Family Old Ancestor's voice boomed like a great bell, reverberating continuously in this golden space. Every word carried an unquestionable authority.

"Speak! Does your daughter possess a Divine Body?!"

His eyes flickered with greed and urgency, staring intently at G Ming, as if trying to find a flaw on his face.

"Hehe, not speaking, are we? Old Ancestor has his ways of knowing!" The Jiang Family Old Ancestor sneered, his smile sinister and chilling.

At this moment, in the Jiang Family ancestral land, this mysterious golden space, terrifying energy fluctuations continuously emanated like surging waves.

The deafening sounds of fierce fighting echoed, each collision causing cracks to appear in the space, like a shattered mirror.

Golden Divine Runes flowed wantonly in the Void Realm, appearing alive, leaping and flickering, exuding a mysterious and dangerous aura.

A War God emanating an invincible aura stood proudly in the Void Realm—it was G Ming.

He was bathed in divine blood, which flowed over him as if adorning him with a mysterious battle armor.

His eyes surged with killing intent, like burning flames, scorching and fierce.

Opposite him.

A hunched old man revealed a gloomy expression.

The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing endless calculation and coldness.

Beside him lay a young corpse whose Divine Soul had been nearly obliterated—it was the Jiang Family Divine Son, Jiang Huang.

Jiang Huang's body lay limp on the ground, his once handsome face now as pale as paper, completely devoid of life.

"Hehe, Ming'er, how dare you speak to Old Ancestor like that?" The Jiang Family Old Ancestor first let out a sarcastic laugh, like the screech of a night owl, piercing and eerie.

"Have you forgotten who you are?"

"You are G Ming!"

"You are G Ming of my Jiang Family!"

"You can wield my Jiang Family's Hengyu Scripture, bathe in my Jiang Family ancestral land's Hengyu Divine Blood, and have possessed everything Mortals could only dream of since childhood, all because you come from the Jiang Family, from an Ancient Desolate Family!"

"Otherwise! Would you have what you have today?"

"This world is just like this; only by standing at the Peak can you enjoy everything. Old Ancestor doing this is merely to ensure my Jiang Family remains prosperous. As long as Old Ancestor lives another life and devours a Divine Body, I will surely take that final step. By then, no one in the Human Race will dare to disobey, and the Heavenly Demon Realm will be powerless against my Jiang Family, do you understand?!" The old man spoke with extreme excitement, his eyes gleaming with fervor.

G Ming silently shook his head and said, "Old Ancestor, you are wrong..."

Then he looked at Jiang Huang's corpse, a look of guilt in his eyes, and added, "It's a pity for such an outstanding descendant of my Jiang Family..."

"Hmph!" The old man snorted, saying, "Wrong?"

"A pity?"

"Throughout the long years, how many Prodigies have fallen on the Dao Integration path? Why can't Old Ancestor live another life?!"

"I can make the Jiang Family prosperous!!"

Opposite him, Divine Flames appeared around G Ming, and the golden blood flowing in his veins began to surge.

Dao!

The power of Physical Body Dao Integration was emanating.

His black hair instantly turned white, and wrinkles rapidly covered his entire face. In just a blink of an eye, G Ming had become an old man with white hair, but his aura grew even stronger, causing the Void Realm to show signs of collapse.

"Bastard!!" The old man roared furiously, his face immediately darkening.

"How dare you!!!"

"You don't want thousands of years of Lifespan, nor your future Great Dao?"

"Womanly compassion, to abandon your Great Dao for a swaddled infant, truly foolish beyond measure!!"

He could sense that G Ming's aura had already surpassed his imagination, and he was also surprised by G Ming's talent; even this method of temporarily stepping into Dao Integration had reached the Peak!!

He was simply a Prodigy!

"All of this was bestowed upon you by Old Ancestor. It's merely asking you to offer your daughter; what does it matter to have another one?"

"If you continue to be so sentimental and bound by family affection, what Old Ancestor can give you, I can naturally take back!"
