Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 585 - 580: Era Leader

Xiao Rulong's smile was already quite evident, and his attitude was clear as well.

Chi Jark's expression was somber, his face exuding seriousness, "Brother Ye, we are not joking around. Before coming here to seize the Void Spirit Fruit, I had already discussed it with Xiao Chubby and decided to follow by your side. From now on, we can serve you. Your strength, we fully recognize."

Ye Feng was also somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected such a situation to arise where two prodigies of the Ancient Clan would openly express their willingness to serve him.

One must know that these two individuals are Heaven's Proud Sons of the Four Great Ancient Clans, among their peers, they are exceptionally formidable beings, true geniuses.

Geniuses are very proud. They would never casually speak of taking orders from someone or working for someone else.

But now, these two prodigies of the Ancient Clans were expressing their willingness to follow him right to his face, which was truly unexpected. No one could have imagined such a scenario.

Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian, among others, were also completely taken aback. They were all aware of what Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong represented in the Outer Battlefield.

Both were the number ones in their respective families!

And they were both Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm!

Now these two figures of Heaven's Pride Level status were saying they were willing to serve a lord, to side with their lord, which was incredibly fantastical.

It seemed Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong were aware of the reaction of the crowd and were not at all surprised by it.

"Xiao Chubby, explain it to Brother Ye," Chi Jark said with a smile after glancing at Xiao Rulong.

Xiao Rulong nodded. They knew that when they made this decision, Ye Feng would be very confused, so an explanation was necessary. Otherwise, it might cause Ye Feng to mistakenly believe there was some conspiracy, making it difficult to clarify later.

Xiao Rulong glanced at everyone, swept his spiritual power around the area once more, then set up a barrier before speaking with a smile, "Since we're all our own people here, let's speak openly and honestly."

"Why does the Outer Battlefield exist, everyone here should be aware, right?"

At this, everyone's body shuddered with surprise, except for Ye Feng. Why was the conversation turning to the purpose behind the existence of the Outer Battlefield?

Without keeping anyone in suspense, Xiao Rulong continued, "The Outer Battlefield came into existence over two thousand years ago when Alien Space-Time was widely opened, along with this separate space for combat which also connects to Alien Space-Time. At that time, members of the Alien Race from Alien Space-Time sought to use the Outer Battlefield as a springboard to invade our Earth. Consequently, the cultivators of that era defended the Earth from the Alien Race's invasion by heading to the Outer Battlefield to intercept them."

"A protracted Great War erupted and, through the numerous efforts of the Ancient Cultivators, bitter sacrifices were made to construct the Great Wall of Heaven. Only then were the Alien Races completely halted beyond the Great Wall of Heaven."

Everyone was silent; these were not secrets, as they all were aware of this information upon entering the Outer Battlefield.

Xiao Rulong paused before adding, "Our Four Great Ancient Clans were also key forces in meeting the Alien Race at that time."

"Although the Great Wall of Heaven was built at the time to keep the Alien Races from Alien Space-Time at bay, the Ancient Cultivators were well aware that the wall would eventually collapse. It could hold them off for a while but not forever. There would come a day when the Great Wall of Heaven would fall and, at that time, the Alien Race would invade Earth again."

"War would break out once more, and such a war was certain to bring forth a leader. Over two thousand years ago on Earth, there was such a leader. It was under this leader's guidance that the Alien Race was completely intercepted, and the Great Wall of Heaven was constructed."

"That leader was the Emperor from over two thousand years ago."

Xiao Rulong said with a smile, already bringing up the Emperor from two millennia past.

The mention of that Emperor sent another shock through the eyes of everyone present.

"It's undeniable that the Emperor at the time did betray many forces on Earth, many schools of cultivation. One can say he committed many sins, leaving the contemporary major powers of the Xuanyuan Nation with an extreme hatred towards that Emperor."

"While he's been condemned for these actions, that Emperor also deserves immense credit. It was he who led the cultivators in the battles of the Outer Battlefield. He commanded the army that directed Earth towards victory; without him, we wouldn't have our present."

"If there hadn't been such a leader, such an Emperor, to come forward and lead everyone, that war might have ended in the defeat of the Earth's people."

All faces were grave, with Xiao Chuanqi even taking the initiative to speak, "Brother Xiao, we are all well aware of what you've said. Please get to the point."

Xiao Chuanqi wasn't implying that Xiao Rulong was being verbose in telling everyone these details, but rather he wanted to hear the main point more directly.

Xiao Rulong nodded with a smile, no longer beating around the bush, and his expression quickly turned serious.

"As I've just mentioned, the Great Wall of Heaven is going to collapse, and now there are less than three years left until its complete destruction. In three years, once the Great Wall of Heaven falls, the entire Outer Battlefield will erupt in combat once again, and the Alien Race will surely invade Earth on a large scale."

Three years!

Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian were both shocked, had there really been only three years left?

"How could it be, how could there be only three years left?"

"Three years, we're all still only in the Half-Step Golden Core Realm, what Realm will we be in three years' time?"

"So, the real war is going to start after three years?"

Xiao Chuanqi and the others were incredibly shaken, muttering to themselves, the news being far too sudden for them.

Meanwhile, Ye Feng, Long Nannan, and Sausage Sister were silent; they all knew there were less than three years left, so they weren't that shocked.

Xiao Rulong continued solemnly, "After three years, the war will begin, and chaos will ensue, ushering in a true era of turmoil."

"Every time of chaos will see the rise of a leader who can steer the tide of war, a leader who can unite everyone. These were the words left by the ancestors of our Xiao Family and the Chi Family."

"Actually, the Four Great Ancient Clans have a unified ancestral instruction, which is to assist the leader of the era when the turmoil comes, to follow the leader's commands. However, as time passed, the Hong Family and Bu Family completely forgot the ancestral teachings, each developing on their own, fighting for resources and profit, even becoming adversaries. Only the Xiao Family and Chi Family remained hidden from the world, adhering to the ancestral instructions, waiting for a new leader to emerge."

Xiao Rulong's words left Ye Feng and the others astonished; they had never known that the Four Great Ancient Clans held such a secret, all waiting for the birth of a leader—though later the Hong Family and Bu Family developed their own agendas, only the Chi Family and Xiao Family remained true to the words left by their ancestors.

"So, you both think that I will be the leader in this great turmoil, that I will lead everyone in battle like that person did over two thousand years ago?"

Ye Feng said, drawing this conclusion from Xiao Rulong's words.

Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong had already regarded him as the leader of this era, thus revealing all this to him, willing to put aside their Heaven's Pride status, ready to follow his commands, to stand by his side.

Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong both nodded in affirmation to what Ye Feng had said.

Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian looked at each other, astounded. The prodigies of two great ancient clans were actually acknowledging their master as the leader of this era?

Ye Feng himself was silent. In fact, he had never thought about these matters. He had always fought to protect his friends and family, to prevent them from suffering injustice and harm. This was the motivation behind his continual advancement. But he also knew that the chaos coming in three years concerned the entire Earth.

"Brother Chi, Brother Xiao, thank you for your trust in me, but I don't feel like I'm meant to be a leader of the era. I fight only for those around me."

Ye Feng said, his gaze also turning to Xiao Chuanqi and Long Nannan among others.

"If you're willing to follow me, then I won't say much more. We're all friends; there's no need to fuss over such matters. From now on, just call me Ye Feng."

Ye Feng revealed a smile, not wanting to bind Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong with commands. Both were Heaven's Pride, and since they chose to stand with him at this moment, he wanted to give them the respect they deserved.

Seeing this, Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong exchanged a glance and smiled as well.

At the beginning, they too had been worried that after they declared their allegiance, Ye Feng might start ordering them around as subordinates. Despite deciding to follow Ye Feng, they still had their pride, and being treated as underlings, even if it were surface compliance, would certainly be met with inner resistance.

Now it seemed that their choice was indeed correct; Ye Feng truly had the potential to be a leader.

"Since you said so, Ye Feng, then stop calling me 'Brother Chi' and 'Brother Xiao'. You can just call me Chubby, and this guy, you can just call him Scoundrel."

Xiao Rulong laughed heartily, while Chi Jark's face turned dark, always feeling that Xiao Rulong's way of calling his name was akin to cursing him, which he found quite annoying.

The rest of the group burst into laughter upon seeing this.

"Alright, let's not talk about this now. I want to take you all to a good place, to train there to prepare for the upcoming Young Talent Tournament."

Ye Feng suddenly spoke up again, drawing everyone's attention, all curious.

"Little Martial Uncle, what's this good place?"

Long Nannan asked, blinking her large eyes.

The rest were eager to find out, as in a place like the Outer Battlefield, where not even a trace of Power of Spirit Essence existed in the air, cultivating required the use of Spirit Stones.

At this moment, however, Chi Jark's eyes lit up as he said, "Could it be that you're talking about a secret realm!?"

Mention of a secret realm invigorated the group.

(It's a busy weekend, so there's only one update today, sorry!)
