Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Chapter 1074: Old News of Huaishan (1)

Editor: Henyee Translations

Huaishan Prefecture was dominated by the Huai Family. Although the River God and Mountain God were also conferred by the Imperial Court, they were lesser gods. Even Mountain Lord Huai could use a legitimate reason to report to the Imperial Court and take away their titles. Therefore, when facing the Huai Family, the River God and Mountain Gods would give them a certain amount of respect.

This did not mean that the Huai family could bully them wantonly. Shen Ping looked at the River God in front of him, who was wearing a fish-scaled gray robe. Then, he consumed his energy and began to counterattack. Since he had given this counterattack mission, a clue will be given in the simulation.

[20 years later, you stole the Crocodile Bead through 72 Thaumaturgy Transformations.]

[50 years later, the power of the crocodile ancestor bloodline erupted. You relied on powerful methods and the power of the ancestral hall’s heroic souls to suppress the crocodile ancestor bloodline.]

[100 years later, the Huai family’s ancestral hall imprisoned the Third Madame of the eldest branch and Huai Lian in the underground water prison.]

[150 years later, you have become a Spiritual Master.]

[220 years later, a snake demon entered the underground water prison and saved the Third Madame and Huai Lian. The Huai family sent an elder to hunt them down.]

[230 years later, the Snake Demon obtained a trace of the crocodile ancestor’s bloodline and its strength soared. It killed the River God and inherited his position, becoming the new River God.]

[270 years larter, Huaishui was ridden with demons, the clansmen of the Huai Family died continuously in the river, so you stepped in and fought with the Snake Demon. You lost.]

[300 years later, Mountain Lord Huai personally suppressed the River God.]

[400 years later, the Snake Demon’s strength soared. He broke free from the suppression and drowned the Huaishan Prefecture with 3,000 aquatic demons. Mountain Lord Huai is seriously injured. You attacked and lost again.]

[450 years later, the crocodile ancestor became the Demon Ancestor of Huai Mountain. The Huai Family was annihilated and you died.]

He frowned. He re-do the simulations multiple times, but the content for the first few years did not change much. He watched it several times.

He was deep in thought. He had always thought that the Demon Ancestor of Huai Mountain was only the reincarnation of a true spirit or was entrusted to his bloodline. But now, it seemed that the situation was far more complicated than he had imagined.

It was impossible for the snake demon to appear out of thin air. It must be related to the crocodile ancestor. The Third Madame of the eldest branch was also greatly related to the crocodile ancestor. Otherwise, with the Huai Family’s control in Huaishan Prefecture, how could they let it escape from the underground water prison?

“What did I miss? Wait, I’ve been paying attention to the Third Madame of the first branch, but I’ve neglected her husband, Huai Cheng. Or rather, I subconsciously think that as a member of the Huai Family, Huai Cheng can’t tolerate the bloodline of demons and raise traitors. However, I’m afraid I’m wrong now!”

Shen Ping’s expression turned cold. Mountain Lord Huai and the other clansmen had a deep hatred for demons and evil creatures. No matter how much Huai Cheng liked the Third Madame, he would not be too indulgent. From the situation of suppressing her several times in the simulation, he did not tolerate her.

But she still turned the situation around in the end. This is not normal at all. It was either some of the crocodile ancestor’s power or there was a traitor in the Huai family. The heroic souls of the ancestral hall could naturally be trusted, but it might not be the case for Huai Cheng, who managed the Huai Family.

He continued to simulate. This time, he changed the way he thought. Although it would not be like the deduction of the fate of the Pupil of Flame Beast, there might be changes this time.

The first 20 years have not changed much.

[50 years later, through the 72 Thaumaturgy Transformations, you have grasped clues and evidence of the Third Madame colluding with demons. You did not choose to expose yourself.]

[A hundred years later, through these clues, you discovered that there was a trump card left behind by the crocodile ancestor in Huaishui when it was alive—the bloodlines of the twelve demons.]

[150 years later, you completely eliminated the bloodlines of these twelve demons and handed the evidence to the ancestral hall’s heroic souls. In the same year, the Third Madame and Huai Lian were imprisoned in the underground water prison.]

[180 years later, Huai Cheng secretly informed the Third Madame’s family. After a deal, the Third Madame and Huai Lian were saved.]

[230 years later, the Crocodile Bead suppressed by the heroic souls of the ancestral hall was stolen.]

[231 years later, through the 72 Thaumaturgy Transformations, you found evidence of Huai Cheng protecting the Third Madame. You took back the Crocodile Bead and handed it to your ancestors to deal with.]

[400 years later, Huai Lian became the disciple of the Sword God and came to spar with you. You lost.]

[500 years later, Huai Lian took the crocodile bead back from the hands of the heroic souls of the ancestral hall.]

[600 years later, the power of the crocodile ancestor’s bloodline erupted. Huai Lian became the Demon Ancestor. The Huai Family was destroyed. You died.]

It was simulated several times and the endings were the same. He knew that even if the crocodile bead was sent to the ancestral hall, it would only be suppressed by the heroic souls of the ancestors and could not be completely eliminated. The main reason was that the difference in strength was too great. Unless he killed Huai Lian and the Third Madame.

Shen Ping felt that even so, he could not stop the resurrection of the crocodile ancestor. Although a demon ancestor of this level was not a true demon ancestor, he had many backup plans that were impossible to guard against.

For the first time, he could feel how deep the water in this world was and how powerful the methods of experts were. Just a single crocodile ancestor was something he could not deal with even after simulating it so many times.

“Huai Cheng, the Third Madame’s maiden family. This should be some uncontrollable factor, and how many more tricks are hidden by the crocodile ancestor!”

He was too young now, so it was inconvenient for him to do anything, and he could not find the details of the Third Madame’s family. He watched as the River God was about to leave.

Shen Ping thought for a moment and used his True Spirit technique to secretly transmit a message, “River God of Huaishui, there is a terrifying power hidden in this water. There are twelve of them, and all of them have the bloodline of a great demon. They seem to be the remnants of the ancient blood crocodile.”
