Chapter 171: Ancient Families

I quickly caught up to Lily and looked at her. She had a lost look in her eyes as she gazed at the sky.

"What are you thinking?" I asked her while my eyes stared at the empty sky. It is almost night, I could see the stars in the sky.

"Nothing, just biding my time to get my powers back and I could go back,"

My brows furrowed when I heard her words. Why is she behaving like a fool? I know that she is missing her formal life, but isn't this too much? I shook my head.

"I know you will get it back, but you should not think too much. Remember that you are going to assist me in the future."

She had a surprised expression on her face before she smiled and said, "I know. That is the reason I said that you are my lucky star. To be honest, I didn't expect that one day I would get my Powers back. But after I met you, my life changed for the good."

My eyes were fixed on her smiling face, but I could feel that there was a trace of loneliness in her eyes.

I nodded, "I know,"

After a while, after completing the formalities, Lily showed me my house. It was the same as those houses in the facility, but this place was quite bustling. The soldiers have occupied every house. 

When those people got to know that I was one of the candidates for Prime Three. They welcomed me wholeheartedly. I could see that many of them fawning over me. 

Lily was also staying in the same building. But after showing me my house, she left, as she had some work to do.

I sat on the couch while my gaze was fixed on the ceiling. The scene of that spaceship lingered in my mind for a long time. The would-be a day when I would also travel in that spacecraft and would fight those aliens.

To be honest, after gaining the memories of my past self, I am quite powerful. What I lack is experience. Even though I have spent some time in the jungle and fought those animals and beasts, I still lack a lot of experience. 

But suddenly, the sound of the doorbell broke my thoughts. 

'Who would come at this time?'

But as soon as I opened the door, I saw that Alexandra was smiling at me.

"Can I come in?" She asked, but moved inside the house. My brows were raised while my eyes were fixed on her. She sat on the Couch and looked at me. 

"Come inside, consider it as your own house." I could see the craftiness in her smile. 

I shook my head and closed the door. Alexandra has changed a lot and the relationship between us has moved beyond friendship. 

Before the events in the mountains, she would always behave like a superior. Even though she was friendly with me, but there was always a wall between us and that wall broke when I kissed her that day.

I sat on the couch and looked at her. Her eyes were fixed on mine.

I slowly caressed her cheeks, "You were quite tensed today? Like to share?" 

She shook her head and sat down comfortably. "It's nothing, but some things from the past cannot be forgiven easily,"

"Oh," Not this is interesting. She was from one of the most powerful families. But from her words, I know that she didn't have a good past. 

"Would you like to share?" I asked her again. To be honest, I wanted to know more about her. After the events in the mountains. I realized that I know nothing about anyone. Among the women I have, Diana's past is the most complex. She is also the reincarnation and as if fate has played a game. She is also my woman in this life.

Olivia's life is very simple. She was also born and brought up in one of the most powerful families in this world. She has a very simple past.

Even though Tanya hinted to me about her life. But her words were so complex that I feel like that I don't know about her past. But I know that she didn't have a good life. But since she was talented, she made her own name in the forces.

And at last, Alexandra, I know nothing about her. I just know that she was born into one of the most powerful families on this planet.

My eyes were fixed on her. She had a lost look on her face as she looked at the empty space. I waited for a while but heard nothing from her. But suddenly she spoke.

"You would have thought that since I was born in that family, I had a good past, right?"

She turned to look at me. I could feel the sadness in her eyes.

"Tell me," I said to her.

She shook her head again and sighed. "Even though I was born in that family, I don't have any lingering attachment to them. From the moment I was born, they treated me as a tool. A tool that would raise their prestige among the ancient families in this world." She stopped, her eyes were fixed on me.

"I think you don't know, but all the powerful families in this world are the ancient families. Ancient families are those who were able to survive the vicissitudes of time. Their history dated back to the Era of the Emergence of that GOD,"

My brows furrowed. What is she talking about? Is she speaking the truth? But there is no reason for her to Lie.

"You would be thinking that I am telling the lies, right?" She looked at me and said.

I shook my head, "No. Please continue. I am very much interested."

Her eyes were fixed on me for a while before she took a deep breath and said, "There are the seven families in this world, who are known as ancient families. They have a long history and they are one of the reasons that forces were established."

"I told you before that when that man returned, he destroyed everyone who attacked his family on this planet. But after his return, we got to know that he became unfathomably powerful. We got to know the Power of GOD. But we also got to know that there are people like us in the outside world. When he left, he told us to beware of those aliens. And as expected, those aliens attacked this planet."

She again took a deep breath and said, "Many people died but we were able to defend this planet and after that, the Seven Powerful Families created forces."

Her gaze was fixed on me for a while before she said, "The Power of the Ancient Families is unfathomably deep. There are many Old Monsters in those families, who are on the verge of Breakthrough to the Godhood, but they are could not cross that step."

"But during all this time, there was always a political struggle to control the forces, and these families are silently fighting. When I was born, I was raised as a tool. A tool that could be useful for the domination of my family. You will not believe but they made me so isolated that I didn't even know the news of the death of my mother."

She laughed, but tears slid down her face. "I was not even informed that my mother was dead. Those people hid the news from me. They thought that it would affect my training and I would lose my direction. When I came out of the training, it was already too late. My mother was dead for a year and my useless father was enjoying his life with his other wives. Even though he is my father, I don't respect him. He always danced in the tune of those old monsters."

"That was the first time in my life I felt that I was being used as a tool. But I kept that feeling in my heart and started training wholeheartedly. You don't know, but I felt suffocated, living under the same roof as those people. But I kept quiet and always spent my time in training. I wanted to be the free bird, not just the tool of those old monsters. Even though I wanted to break these shackles, I couldn't do it. Those old monsters are really powerful and they wouldn't allow anyone who would destroy the name of their family. That was also the reason I started looking for the history of our Lone GOD. That was also the reason I wanted to become Powerful, Powerful enough that those old monsters wouldn't be able to stand before me."

She paused and looked at me. "I was a lonely woman throughout my life. I only desired one thing in my life and that was Power. But everything changed when you came into my life."
