LIGHTNOVELSTORY Chapter 38
Chapter 38 — Standing on the Shoulders of Predecessors, Holding up this Sky
“This is the world your dad created. There were many trials and tribulations in the past, but now … there’s as much beauty as there was hardship!”
Luo Xue also walked up, speaking softly, “What you never tire of isn’t just the increasingly modern city, but the never-forgotten … history filled with hardships and blood.”
“Mm, I know!” Ye Ling nodded obediently. “My dad is the greatest. My dad is the greatest person in the world ever!”
In her heart, her father was the greatest person. In the past, present, and forever, there wouldn’t be anyone surpassing him. Because his father had established peace in this world!
Ye Tian looked ahead, slowly speaking, “The world’s current state isn’t solely my achievement. I merely stand on the shoulders of my predecessors!”
Standing on the shoulders of predecessors, only then could this sky be held up!
In the past, for the sake of peace, how many predecessors sacrificed themselves? How much blood was shed on the battlefield?
It was the toil accumulated by the ancestors that had passed into his hands. Indeed, it was he who pushed open the gates to a new world of peace. But behind him, pushing him forward, were the hardships and sacrifices of countless ancestors.
Without them, he alone could never accomplish it!
“This world was once devastated, experiencing countless sacrifices, only to arrive at its present outcome!” Ye Tian continued slowly. “So, Ling’er, you must always remember that this hard-won peace … is something we must exhaust everything to protect!”
“Mm, I know!” Ye Ling obediently nodded. She had heard this sentence countless times since childhood. But every time, she would sincerely respond!
It was respect for history, for the sacrifices of the ancestors, and also respect for her father.
“Oh, Dad, this time in Lin City, I found someone hunting Puppeteers! Moreover, this time, they killed a No. 10 Puppeteer!” Ye Ling continued, “But that No. 10 Puppeteer had indeed eaten a person; it deserved to die!”
Ye Tian nodded slowly and then continued, “If the person only kills criminal Puppeteers, it’s justifiable. There will always be such chivalrous individuals in the world, and that’s a good thing!”
People who randomly kill Puppeteers deserve death. Puppeteers that indiscriminately eat people also deserve death! But if the person killing Puppeteers only targets the criminal ones, that’s justice. And Puppeteers killing the criminal ones are also justice!
“But … but he stole my job!” Ye Ling pouted. “That was a No. 10! He took away the core of the Puppeteer!”
She was also an Esper, and she needed powerful Puppeteer cores to enhance her strength. This time, she finally encountered a good opportunity, only to be preempted by someone else.
“In the future, if you encounter such a person, you can try to recruit them into the Alliance, into your department!” Ye Tian smiled slowly.
“Mm … but unfortunately, this time I didn’t even see what he looked like!” Ye Ling nodded, then grumbled, “If I meet him next time and he doesn’t become my subordinate, I’ll fight until he submits!”
Regarding Ye Ling’s competitive spirit, Ye Tian just smiled, ruffled her hair, and didn’t say much.
Next, he turned his gaze to Luo Xue and asked, “Have you been looking for someone recently?”
Luo Xue lightly smiled and nodded. She naturally knew that she couldn’t hide anything from Ye Tian.
“Looking for someone?” Ye Tian followed up.
Luo Xue didn’t directly answer his question but instead asked, “Husband, have you ever thought … that the Tianxu Group hasn’t been completely eradicated?”
At these words, Ye Tian’s calm expression slightly furrowed his brows.
Ye Ling’s small face also turned serious! The Tianxu Group? That was once the enemy of the entire world!
“The Tianxu Group was no more after that battle. That man was completely wiped out!” Luo Xue continued, “But … his successor with void abilities hasn’t appeared yet, which is unreasonable!”
At this revelation, Ye Tian’s expression became even more serious.
He continued in a deep voice, “So you suspect … he’s still alive?”
“Him … the leader of the Tianxu Group? Alive!?” Ye Ling’s expression also changed drastically.
Although she wasn’t born at that time, she was well aware of the existence of the Tianxu Group. She knew what kind of person the boss of the Tianxu Group was. He was the world’s enemy! A great villain! If that villain was still alive, that would be a big problem.
“That possibility cannot be ruled out!” Luo Xue continued slowly, “Logically speaking, if he died, his void abilities would have passed to the first child born after his death. But … I’ve investigated, and so far, I haven’t found the inheritor!”
Ye Tian nodded slowly, then glanced into the distance.
After pondering for a moment, he said slowly, “Perhaps … they simply haven’t been found yet.”
“I hope so too. If he’s still alive … it’s a huge threat to the whole world!” Luo Xue nodded gently, then continued, “I’ll get to the bottom of this matter. You don’t have to worry; you’re already burdened with enough concerns!”
