Chapter 1308 - 1274: I Resemble Your Ancestor?
"Ancestor?"
Frank looked at his daughter Fatina in some confusion:
"Tina, what are you saying?!"
At this moment Fatina was staring in disbelief at Lin Yi, who was floating in midair, muttering:
"Father, do you remember, when I was ten, you asked me in the ancestral hall what the ancestor I saw looked like?"
Frank followed Fatina’s gaze to Lin Yi, his eyes flashing with shock as he said:
"Tina, you mean, him?"
Fatina’s face was already flushing as she said:
"He looks exactly like the statue in the ancestral hall."
She had no idea what connection this man, who had suddenly appeared before her, had with the statue in the ancestral hall.
As the only person in the whole town who had seen that faceless ancestral statue, the moment Fatina saw Lin Yi.
She was instantly stunned as if struck by a heavenly vision.
Simply because the two of them looked far too alike.
So alike it was as if the statue had been carved based on Lin Yi’s appearance.
At the same time, Frank, as the only one in the know, naturally understood what Fatina was talking about.
While Fatina and Frank were staring dumbfounded at Lin Yi, Lin Yi himself was likewise staring in shock at the changes in the town at this moment.
Just a moment ago it had been a deathly still little town, yet right under his nose it suddenly burst with new life.
Looking at the suddenly bustling crowds in the town, and the many shops and fresh sights that had appeared around it.
The whole thing felt as unbelievable as going through a Dream Realm.
But Lin Yi understood.
It seemed he had once again, unwittingly, completed some kind of mission.
And the town before his eyes that was either recovering or, rather, overlapping might very well be what he had experienced before...
"You’re Fatina?"
Lin Yi suddenly cast his gaze toward the bright-eyed, white-toothed girl below who was currently in utter shock.
Then Lin Yi looked toward the man behind the girl:
"You must be Frank, right?"
Lin Yi’s voice finally snapped the two out of their shock, and at the same time drew the attention of countless residents below.
Only then did the residents of the town realize.
The earthquake had already stopped, and the surroundings had returned to their previous calm.
"The earthquake stopped?"
"Look, who is that?"
"My god! Look at him, he even has wings."
"A man with wings? Isn’t that exactly the ’Divine Being’ recorded in the ancestral texts?!"
"Divine Being!"
At these words, the surroundings erupted in commotion.
Lin Yi, however, paid no attention to the crowd’s shock; he simply flapped his wings and landed on the ground.
The people around him, seeing this, all quickly backed away.
Although Lin Yi was not exuding any aura at the moment.
Facing the fear of the unknown still made them subconsciously keep their distance from him.
After landing, Lin Yi walked toward the dazed Fatina.
Frank, seeing this.
Shifted sideways to block in front of Fatina, looking at Lin Yi warily:
"Who are you?"
Fatina wanted to say:
"Father, he is..."
But before she could finish, she was forcefully cut off by Frank:
"Silence!"
Lin Yi looked in surprise at Fatina behind Frank:
"You know me?"
Meeting Lin Yi’s gaze, Fatina immediately shrank back behind Frank in fright.
Lin Yi didn’t really mind this.
Instead, he raised the necklace in his hand and held it out in front of Frank:
"You said this is yours?"
Frank glanced at the necklace in Lin Yi’s hand, still eyeing Lin Yi warily as he said:
"Who exactly are you?"
"Why are you here?"
"Me?"
Lin Yi looked at Frank, while also sensing the strange looks from the crowd around them.
Lin Yi guessed that he had probably, unintentionally, overlapped the Ancient God Town of two different timelines.
The people before him should be those who had been living here before the town became dilapidated.
It was just that, midway, they had gone through who knew what... Wait!
Lin Yi suddenly thought of something.
The reason the Ancient God Town he had seen before had become so dilapidated and lifeless.
Could it have been because that so‑called silver-winged insect swarm had "slaughtered the village"?
And precisely because of that incident.
If the people in the town had all died in that silver-winged insect outbreak, then it was likely that this town had become completely deserted because of it.
Until it turned into the ruined town Lin Yi had first seen.
But just now.
That state he had entered unconsciously—could it have been the node of this town’s fate?
His actions, brought about by a twist of fate, had ultimately prevented the disaster that was to befall the town.
The town had been preserved.
In that case, the desolate town he had previously seen would naturally no longer exist.
At this moment, Lin Yi looked at the Divine Artifact: Eye of Destiny in his hand.
Could all these changes have been caused by its Passive: Super God·Destiny Reincarnation?
Realizing this, Lin Yi finally began to re-examine the people around him.
Just as Lin Yi was still wondering how to introduce himself, Fatina, behind Frank, suddenly said:
"You look a lot like our ancestor!"
A sudden shout rang out:
"Nonsense!"
The one who spoke was not Frank, but the returning vice Clan Leader, Luo De.
Luo De appeared with dozens of Guards in Leather Armor, stepping out from the crowd as he said:
"The ancestor is an Ancient God."
Luo De glared fiercely at Fatina and said:
"Do you know that just what you said is enough to condemn you for great impiety?"
As he spoke, Luo De, still not appeased, shot Frank a fierce glare:
"This is the good daughter you raised."
After being blasted like this by Luo De’s rapid-fire scolding, Fatina’s little face went pale with fright, and she trembled as she hid behind Frank.
Frank didn’t have time to comfort her.
Facing Luo De, Frank could only say helplessly:
"I’m very sorry, Clan Leader Luo De."
"I’ll take her away right now."
As he spoke, he moved to drag Fatina away from this place of trouble, afraid that if Luo De was displeased, he really would punish Fatina for great impiety.
And that was something Frank absolutely did not want to see.
However, just as Frank took Fatina’s hand, a voice sounded behind him:
"Wait!"
The voice belonged to Lin Yi.
For some reason, Fatina’s earlier words had sent a jolt through his heart.
It felt as if that sentence was very important to him.
Although Lin Yi didn’t know why he felt this way.
She had said he looked a lot like their ancestor.
That alone was enough to stir Lin Yi’s intense curiosity.
Lin Yi wanted to see just how much they resembled each other.
But of course, there were always some fools who insisted on causing him trouble.
Luo De looked at Lin Yi with a hostile expression:
"Outsider?"
Although there were nearly a hundred thousand people in the entire Ancient God Town.
Luo De didn’t dare claim he knew every single one of them, but he could be certain.
Lin Yi definitely was not from their town.
"Who are you?"
"What are you doing here?"
In an instant.
The dozens of Guards Luo De had brought immediately surrounded Lin Yi in the center.
The surrounding residents also began buzzing with discussion.
Lin Yi, however, looked at Luo De with clear impatience:
"You’d better get out of my sight while I’m still in a good mood."
Luo De glanced at Lin Yi’s age, and as if something had been confirmed in his heart, he laughed and said:
"You’re not that old, but you’ve got quite a tone."
"I’d like to see..."
But before he could finish, everyone saw Lin Yi suddenly vanish from where he stood:
"Courting death!"
"Arcane Impact!"
Lin Yi instantly appeared five steps in front of Luo De; the Longsword in his outstretched hand suddenly twisted, and the hilt struck toward Luo De’s chest:
"Boom~"
"-14251223" Critical Strike~
Although this strike spared Luo De the pain of being run through, the tremendous recoil still sent him flying, and he crashed heavily into the crowd, drawing a chorus of wails.
Silence!
A deathly silence.
Everyone stared in disbelief; their strongest vice Clan Leader had just been one‑shotted by this youth who looked barely past twenty?
While everyone was still struggling to accept this outcome, Lin Yi had already come before Fatina:
"You said I look like your ancestor. Can I see what your ancestor looks like?"
