My Descendants Are My Power

"The Oracle Chamber?"

The room outside was trembling, the status of the war unknown, yet Ethan remained calm, his gaze fixed on the game screen, his mouse hovering over a skill without any action.

Because Jessica was eerily composed!

At that moment, she was enveloped by complex inscriptions, fixed on the wall of the valley. The appearance of The Oracle Chamber's Masked Man did not seem to faze her. Her lips parted slightly, "You must have come from the imperial capital, a member of Battle Oversight, right? Only a handful of you managed to capture me without a sound. Let me guess who you are."

With those words, a murderous aura flashed across the Masked Man's face.

Jessica just scoffed, "Try and kill me! You've only recently arrived in Cloudview County, barely settled, and if we at Blackwood pursue this, The Oracle Chamber will hold you accountable. Let's see if you end up in a worse state than me!"

...

Originally wanting to help Jessica, Ethan's moving mouse suddenly stopped. By now, the Masked Man had released Jessica, and Ethan stared blankly at the event log.

[Your descendant Jessica, through keen observation, has uncovered the true identity of The Oracle Chamber's mysterious person and struck a deal with them. She has gained a new identity, a member of The Oracle Chamber.]

It wasn't long before.

Ethan saw the member of The Oracle Chamber who had taken Jessica away now returning her to the same place... As he left, Jessica tossed him a communication stone.

The mysterious person from The Oracle Chamber walked away with a desolate and lonely silhouette, as if deeply humiliated.

Jessica pulled out the Forebearer Psychic Position, "Forebearer, your child has now taken control of the new leader of The Oracle Chamber and has important matters to report to you. Please help bring her back home!"

...

In the Forebearer Shrine.

Many children of the Blackwood family were summoned by Ethan to gather, including George from the Druids who had also returned.

They were all stunned upon hearing about Jessica from Charlie Crackle of the Exploding Sky Serpent.

William was the first to react, "The Oracle Chamber has reached out to Jessica too?"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at William, who just grinned.

The next moment, the faces of the Blackwood family darkened as William's Storage Ring flashed red, revealing a severed head with a note attached—[The Oracle Chamber member, a brazen souvenir]

...

Soon after, William was tied to a post, whimpering, as George twitched his eyelids and took away William's Storage Ring, the shrine's exterior flickering with fire, clearly George was helping William destroy evidence. Well... there was quite a bit of evidence.

The family didn't dwell on what William had been up to recently.

Their expressions were somber; they didn't need to care about The Oracle Chamber's actions as long as it didn't involve Blackwood. They could profit from The Oracle Chamber's intelligence and focus on their development. However, one piece of intelligence was closely related to Blackwood.

[Intelligence: The border conflicts of the Emerald Empire are showing signs of collapse, the ancient god is severely injured, and the current Grand Tutor Gilbert is battling demons in the north. The national advisor Lance has dispatched Battle Oversight, but after two years, there's no significant advantage in the war.

He plans to cede Cloudview County, Cedar County, Starlight County, and other territories to the Druids in exchange for a thousand years of peace with the Emerald Empire.]

"Damn, are we being abandoned?"

Julian, quick-tempered, burst out cursing, "Nicholas sacrificed himself, we spent thirty years in hiding, finally overcoming the Druids! What is Lance thinking? With a single word, he's ceding our Cloudview County, which will end up as Druids' land again. What about us? What are we supposed to do?"

The mood among the Blackwood family was grim.

They didn't know what fate awaited them if Cloudview County was handed over to the Druids; everything was uncertain.

Daniel took a deep breath, "Our best option is to leave Cloudview County and head towards the inner parts of the Emerald Empire. It might be more prosperous inside, but we'll also face resistance from the existing powers, making everything we face even more challenging."

Evacuate... Evacuate!

These words hung over everyone's heads like a shadow.

Julian was right; families had claimed this land, pouring generations of blood, sweat, and tears into it. The people of Glory City had buried their ancestors in this soil, even establishing the Hall of Valor here, swearing to protect this land for generations!

Their hard-won victories seemed insignificant compared to the whims of those in high places, those schemers. Everything they had fought for now seemed so trivial!

Daniel was always composed.

He looked around at everyone, sensing the anger and helplessness in their hearts. He was usually calm, but now, there was a hint of madness in his expression, "No, there is still hope! Battle Oversight is still operational, they're letting us continue the fight, which means negotiations haven't started yet!"

"I suspect that Lance sent Battle Oversight to oversee the battle, aiming for a decisive victory that disregards consequences, to strengthen their position in negotiations!"

"We still have time—"

"Kill Lance!"

At that statement, everyone's gaze shifted to Daniel, their eyes reigniting with the fire of battle.

They didn't know how powerful the national advisor was, or how difficult it would be to kill Lance, but they saw hope in doing so before negotiations began.

"Forebearer, please give the order!"

Many descendants knelt in the shrine.

Watching the screen before him, Ethan clenched his fists, and Charlie Crackle's eyes turned blood red as he issued the Forebearer's command—

"Get stronger, as quickly as possible!"

"Yes, Forebearer!"

All the Blackwood descendants grinned; they were the Azure Cloud warrior clan, standing at the pinnacle of Azure Cloud! From the time the Forebearer first displayed extraordinary abilities, they had protected this land generation after generation, driving enemies from their territory. Now, faced with a more formidable foe, it was merely a bit of hardship!

Behind them was the homeland they vowed to protect; above them, the Forebearer watched over them.

Lance was nothing to fear!

[Special Event—Kill Lance]

[Despite being abandoned by those in power, your descendants have not given up hope. Each one is determined to become stronger as quickly as possible, to save their homeland and gain the group trait—Indomitable Warrior Spirit.]

[Before killing Lance, your descendants' speed in cultivating psychic powers increases by 30%, and their combat strength by 5%. Thanks to your descendant Olivia, who continuously plunders fortune from the Druids, your family's chance of encountering opportunities in this event increases, with a 2% higher chance of breakthroughs.]

"Thanks to the national advisor in the imperial city for sending this BUFF to my Blackwood family."

Ethan's voice was somber in front of the screen.

He was angry too. Over a hundred years of family legacy, and now, because of Lance, a newcomer, his children faced displacement?

What decline?

All the border towns were fighting for their homes, no one was backing down!

Was Lance securing his position as national advisor, or did he truly care about the people as his name suggested? Who could really tell?
