Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Le Ling remained kneeling on the ground, fiddling with the flowers in the vase, her expression still dignified and calm, as if she had already anticipated that Ye Ge had come to discuss this matter.

When the power of chaos and the power of Qiongqi appeared in the world a few days ago, she knew that it was impossible to keep this a secret.

"How many people still know about this?" Yue Ling asked.

Ye Ge said, "Not many. Besides me, there's Xue'er and a few of our good friends. They're all trustworthy people. The court has suppressed the news."

However, it's impossible to hide it from those powerful figures who have directly experienced the ferocious beast's aura.

Just like those extraordinary individuals who have never seen divine power, even if Ye Ge uses divine magic in front of them, they can only sense that the extraordinary energy Ye Ge uses is different from soul power, but they do not know that it is divine power.

Le Ling nodded: "I feel very reassured that Xi Yao has a friend like you to protect her."

"So, the person who unleashed the power of Qiongqi that night was...?"

“It’s someone from the Gene Company,” Ye Ge said. “A man named Su You. I finally managed to get his information. I discovered that he is an extremely rare superhuman, born from the breakthrough of three bloodlines. He also underwent experiments by the Gene Company, had Qiongqi cells transplanted into him, and became a genetically modified human who can use the power of ancient ferocious beasts.”

“Gene Company…” Yue Ling murmured to herself, “It really was them.”

“Besides Qiongqi, the gene company obviously has many other genetically modified humans who have had ancient cells transplanted into them,” Ye Ge said. “Just a couple of days ago, I fought with a superhuman who had Taotie cells transplanted into him, and he could also use the power of ferocious beasts.”

"..."

Le Ling was silent for a moment, then asked, "Xiao Ye, what exactly do you want to ask me today?"

Ye Ge narrowed her eyes: "Then I'll get straight to the point, Aunt Le Ling."

"You must have known for a long time that the soul of the ancient ferocious beast Chaos has been residing within Yao Yao's consciousness, right?"

"..."

The musician remained silent.

Looking at her expression, Ye Ge already knew the answer. He sighed softly, "Looks like I guessed right..."

After fighting against the Taotie genetic modifiers, Ye Ge became even more certain of one thing—the chaotic power within Yao Yao's body was completely different from that of these genetically modified people who relied on transplanted ancient cells.

Ye Ge initially thought that Xi Yao must have experienced some encounters while doing missions or cultivating in the past, and her physical talent was discovered and valued by Chaos, so Chaos possessed her body without anyone knowing.

But everything that followed shattered his idea.

If it wasn't an accidental possession by Chaos, nor a result of genetic modification, then there's only one possibility...

"Yao Yao, she really does possess the bloodline of the ancient Chaos Clan, a true descendant of the ancient race, right?"

Ye Ge looked at Aunt Le Ling with clear eyes: "Uncle Xia has pure human blood, while Aunt Le Ling has both human and spirit blood."

"But Yao Yao possesses the power of the ancient ferocious beast Chaos... This is clearly illogical."

"Your other half of your bloodline shouldn't be from the Spirit Clan, right?"

Ye Ge's eyes darkened: "Your other half of your true bloodline should be... the bloodline of the ancient Chaos Clan!"

"..."

Le Ling remained silent for a long time without saying a word.

"You're a very clever child; you guessed it right away," she said.

Night Song: "Then your Spirit Clan bloodline is...?"

Le Ling: "It's a fake. My husband doesn't know about it."

Night Song: "I see..."

It's pretty much what Ye Ge imagined.

That's why, although Chaos had been subtly hinting, influencing, and tempting Xia Xiyao, he never actually intended to harm her.

After all, strictly speaking, Chaos can be considered Xia Xiyao's ancestor.

"I hope you can keep this a secret for me," Yue Ling said.

“Of course.” Ye Ge asked in confusion, “But although he is a descendant of the ferocious beast race, why does the chaotic soul reside in Xi Yao’s consciousness?”

After a moment of silence, Yue Ling began to speak slowly and deliberately: "After the first war of all races in ancient times ended, it concluded with the victory of the gods."

"After the ancient demon lord was defeated, the most powerful extraordinary beings on this land, besides the gods, were the Four Sacred Beasts and the Four Ferocious Beasts. Therefore, in order to stabilize their rule in this world, the gods ordered the extermination of the Four Sacred Beasts, the Four Ferocious Beasts, and all ancient mountain and sea mythical beast races."

"However, the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise; Chaos, Taotie, Taowu, and Qiongqi; they are all legendary extraordinary beings with power comparable to the high-ranking gods among the gods. Even if their physical bodies die, their souls will never die or perish, so it is impossible to truly kill them."

"So the gods devised many methods, most of which involved first using various divine punishments and cruel tortures to weaken the soul strength of the Four Saints and the Four Fiends, and then sealing their souls and suppressing them beneath the earth of the myriad races."

"..." Ye Ge touched his nose, thinking that he was more than qualified to speak about this divine punishment.

Back in the day, he was someone who had been tortured alongside Old Deng Qinglong...

"In the end, most of the Four Saints and Four Fiends were sealed away." Le Ling looked at Ye Ge and said, "But Chaos used some kind of deceptive method to successfully fool the gods, and managed to place his own soul in the consciousness of his surviving descendants, thus escaping the fate of being sealed away."

"I see." Ye Ge raised an eyebrow. "So, Aunt Le Ling, you were once...?"

“Yes,” Yue Ling said slowly. “The soul of the Chaos Ancestor once resided in my consciousness. However, when the Chaos Clan gave birth to the next generation, the soul of the ancestor would also be transferred to the body of the next generation.

"Over the years, the Chaos Ancestor has been using this method to slowly repair his damaged soul, generation after generation, hoping that one day he can reshape his physical body and take revenge on the gods."
