Chapter 697 - Shocking Truth

After the tree disappeared for good, Jin Rou and the others eventually left. There was no point in staying here. After all, how could they antagonize this person who managed to kill three laws at the same time? It was apparent that he's merciless towards his enemies, mercy wouldn't be an option.

Of course, there were still people who were thinking malicious. But they weren't gutful enough to do something. They'd rather kill innocents rather than earning this lad's wrath.

After leaving the Soaring Canyon, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Jin Rou and others. Emperor Randies became alert and was almost ready for battle when he saw that he who appeared seemed familiar.

"Randies, are you really going to draw your sword against me?" An old man's voice sounded, "You are still not capably of damaging even my outer skin."

Then, the appearance of the old man was vivid now. He was wearing a violet robe with fancy diamonds engraved in it. He was wearing glasses made by the finest materials of this world, capable of clearly seeing even the ages of the past. He walked down slowly due to his age, but the dominance of his power was emitting involuntarily. He was like a god who descended from the heaven, ready to punish the sinful mortals.

"Ancestor!" Emperor Randies was stumped. Ancestor Violet Cloud was here when he was supposed to be at the so far Purple Haven Empire, "Why are you here?"

"If you are even here, why can't I?" Ancestor Violet snorted. He looked at Jin Rou with warm gaze as smiled, "Ah, this must be Feng Lin's successor. I am your Senior Cloud. I am a friend of your late master."

Jin Rou bowed and greeted the ancestor, "Jin Rou pays respect to Senior Cloud."

Feng Lin told him some stories about Violet Cloud and by the stories, the ancestor was kind yet strict and moody. Although there were many times that Violet Cloud and Feng Lin weren't in good terms, they remained friends and watched each other's backs.

Thus, Jin Rou thought that Violet Cloud deserved his respect.

"Haha, good kid." Violet Cloud was beaming with happiness, "Feng Lin didn't disappoint me. For choosing such an outstanding kid like you, I'm actually jealous. How I wish someone of your level is also in my empire. Ah, I can probably die in peace."

"You're overpraising me, Senior." Jin Rou smiled wryly.

The emperor didn't know what to say, either. There were plenty of outstanding descendants in their family. Be it business talent or cultivation talent, there were many. However, the ancestor was very unsatisfied by their talents no matter how much the descendants try their best to impress him.

Nevertheless, Emperor Randies didn't question the ancestor's decisions. After all, the ancestor knew what he was doing and the emperor couldn't just get it. At the very least, not now.

"Alright, how about we have a cup of tea in my private space? I want to talk to you for a while now. You won't turn me down, right?" Ancestor Violet smiled and opened a door. It was probably going to his private space.

"How can I decline if you put it that way?" Jin Rou smiled, "Okay, Senior. Since it's you who's asking."

"This is one of the best tea leaves I have gathered during my expedition in the New Era, New Leaf Tea. It's quite hard to get it, but it's worth it. You can try it." Ancestor Violet poured a tea in Jin Rou's teacup in a graceful manner. It was obvious that the ancestor loved tea very much.

Jin Rou smelled the aroma of the tea first and took a bit of a sip, "Good tea."

He could feel that his nerves werr relaxing and it was giving him a soft comfort. This was beneficial for those who were stressed for the past few days.

"This tea can help you relax even for today. So you don't have to worry about much." The ancestor said, "Merging the third legacy in your body has taken a toll on you so you should rest for a bit."

As a Universal Law, the ancestor could see that Jin Rou had three laws coexisting in his body and it was unbelievable for him. After all, Jin Rou was the only daring one to actually merge three law legacies at the same time! Remember, God King only aimed to merge two legacies and took many experiments for this.

"Unfortunately, I don't have time to rest." Jin Rou took a sip and sighed, "I want to finish what should be finished as soon as possible."

"You're going to fight that existence immediately?" The ancestor was shocked. Jin Rou was speeding up things too fast and he didn't know if it was a good thing or not.

"I have to. I wanna go home already." Jin Rou smiled wryly, "I already miss my family and I want to be with them."

"I see." Ancestor Violet nodded. Jin Rou wasn't a person of this world and he would have to go back home. Furthermore, he was still a child so it was natural that he missed his family.

"Alright, since that is your choice I have no say about it. But please know that you're going to fight someone of an extreme level." Ancestor Violet said, "He is someone who lived since the start of time, and upon the creation of this world. Perhaps, he will be the strongest one you'll ever fight against."

Jin Rou nodded. He was also aware of this and made certain and ample preparations, "Yes, I am prepared to face him no matter what."

Seeing the burning eyes of Jin Rou, Violet Cloud couldn't help but say an astonishing truth, "That existence you're going to fight against is our father."

Jin Rou widened his eyes in shock.

The ancestor took a deep breath and smiled wryly, "His name is Adam and he is our blood father. I mean, all of us first Universal Laws including your late master, Feng Lin.. He used to be a good person, but everything changed after a fateful incident happened all of a sudden."
