"What! dad doesn't that mean that our ancestor was the first emperor, am I a secret prince or something".
His dad tried to smile, but his face was still grim
"well if our ancestor didn't disappear without telling one day, you might have been a prince but not now. Listen Divit one day after the war with the beasts for the possession of the land, when peace was mostly established throughout the continent. Human life started becoming stable. 'The supreme just left without anyone telling, his children were just 6 small kids each from a different wife. powerless to even survive on their own, wives already dead because of conspiracies or in the war."
"Thankfully some of his comrades were the first ones to know that, and they realized that without him they could not be in power because greedy people will try to gain the secret of his power from his descendants, they quickly left secretly and raised the kids but they were still caught by some unknown people which had features like beasts, half of them were killed and the tablet which recorded our family inheritance was lost. after that our clan has been living around the globe hidden with great talent but no way to use it".
"dad what are you saying? Ain't I already harmonized, with my talent I can put all those celebrity kids into dust ".
His dad sighed "not you alone, any child from our clan can put those demon geniuses to shame if our blood wasn't accompanied by the curse...or you can say the inability to use the power of our blood."
"I don't understand dad"
"It's like this"
We are destined to have good cultivation but our cultivation can only give us long life, not martial strength, if we use the powers coming from our cultivation, our blood will act up making our body blue and then our blood starts becoming heavy and beating our body from inside, leading us towards a premature death from internal explosions 'a horrifying death' indeed.
Divit: "This ....this...."
"well it's not like we don't have to practice" his father continued
We still have a fist art and a cultivation manual from our ancestor the 'supreme' with us. by practicing it daily, our cultivation will rise with our age although the starting point is early, the rise in cultivation will be slow. but surely it will rise, your great-grandfather is already in the king's realm, just one realm less than the 5 emperors.
Divit said suddenly "What... I even have a great-grandfather, how is this possible"?
"not to mention great-grandfather didn't my grandfather die two years ago, and you say we will have a lifespan to be a great-grandfather"
His father "Ah well actually your grandfather didn't die. it was
just a pretense to show the world that your grandfather was a normal person and died because of low cultivation and his life span ended.
Here mc started to tear up "grandpa is alive, you didn't even tell us, didn't you see how much anuja cried...you are so cruel father"(anuja is his little sister's name)
His father not taking his words to heart said "It's not like I wanted her to cry, but you kids were too little. you would have leaked the truth, even right now I shouldn't tell you but you are too much of a freak, even with our blood the normal age to harmonize is 15. but you did it while being 12, leaving me no other choice but to tell you the truth.
At this point mc didn't know what to believe and what not so his father simply said
"the moral of the story is, you have to practice the family arts that I will show you, pretend to have low cultivation throughout your life, don't fight until your life is in danger, your cultivation will rise slowly but surely until you reach the king realm and what you will get is a long life. and yes don't worry about money we are secretly dealing in many businesses and by now we can sit at home and just eat "
Divit didn't even bat an eye hearing about money and said"dad...there must be something ...anything to cure this curse..."
His father tiredly sighed again
"Well even with our easy cultivation, the king realm is our limit but if someone can reach the empyrean realm by some stroke of luck then that person can expel this cursed blood out and become like a normal human, also if someone from our clan achieves the realm after the empyrean realm then you can probably cure your clan members too."
"But reaching the empyrean realm is impossible...because cultivation requires fighting and condensed martial spirit. battling is necessary for humans to raise their realm, and that's something which we cant".
"But son life is still good, you can live life like a normal person and that's it, our clan has many contacts and money, and an easy life full of riches is awaiting you, what you have to do is just not fight and compete, live leisurely.
Scientists are currently in hot demand. Virtual reality is what is popular now, go gain knowledge in other fields and be anything other than a fighter.
From seeing Divit's face anyone can tell that he was gonna cry
"ok son, I'll leave you alone for now"
After saying this he left the room
"honey is divit okay,?" a beautiful lady said to Divit's father
"I don't know dear, but he has to bear it, the bigger the talent the harder it is to digest this kind of truth"
"it was the same for us too dear"
Sigh... leave him alone for now
The next day
His dad told him the same thing again
"dad what is it about the clan, I don't recall meeting any relatives of ours, and what about mom, does she knows about this"
His dad turned his back towards him and said: "our clan and our business are hidden from the world and running secretly throughout the globe, and about your mom, we have been practicing inter-clan marriage, your mother is a part of the clan too and our family is one of the 3 main families which have been preserved since 5000 years".
Divit suddenly realized something"fuck what do you mean by 3 families intermarrying, you said yesterday that 'the supreme' has 6 kids. so we are doing inces...oh my god "
"you stupid bastard it is not like that..the marriage system is carefully managed so that no one is married to someone having any relation for at least 3 generations. and it's not like we had other choices."
Divit already realized that another bad news was coming and said with a sarcastic tone "oo great father, my dear dad why do we have no other choice".
His father said in a grave tone "no weak woman can become pregnant from us and only the women of our blood can conceive our child."
Divit still being the child he was "shit, it means that I can't marry the girl I will love and will be forced to practice incest. and why do you sound so sure? do you have an affair or something.. I am going to tell mom for sure"
His dad's face was covered with black lines "little demon, even if your mother and I were destined to marry even before marriage. we loved each other deeply. I don't know why but it's a mystery that no one has been unwilling to marry in the family. maybe it's like blood attracts the same blood"
Divit: "I can't take this much information dad. and I will try this pregnant thing by myself."
.his dad didn't show any reaction but just expressionlessly said "with our Nobel blood nobody ever fell in love with those weaklings, our body has an instinct to only have feelings to love strong people, and only our blood can satisfy this tyrant blood".
Divit: "what do you mean by weak people, we can't even fight, tell me who is the week one"
His father harrumphed: "Humph, what do you know kid? It's not like we can't fight, we choose not to in exchange to live long and preserve our bloodline".if we want to fight we can, but then we will be like a shooting star, brighter than anything, stronger than anyone in the same stage but also short-lived."
After saying this his father left and closed the door shut, but he could barely hear Divit mumbling which almost made him puke blood
Divit mumbled quietly: "he said our surname means mighty, humph more like the mighty incest."
