The children of the fourth generation all possessed Developing Skills. They had grown up during the era when the ckwoods were fugitives, always with Nichs, who was once timid and pampered.


    That little boy truly became a real man of the ckwood family, yet thest memory they had of him was still that of a child.


    No one knew better than they did how difficult it was to live in exile.


    Nichs''s kneeling before Luke, that moment on the city walls, had given them a peaceful thirty years. Only now did they truly appreciate how precious those thirty years had been.


    "Show what you''re capable of, let Nichs see that we are proud of him, that we haven''t wasted these thirty years!"


    "Annihte the druids!"


    "Let their blood be a tribute to Nichs!"


    Fight, fight, fight!!!


    George, William, and Justin would usually beughing in battle. But now, these three shameless guys had serious expressions. They exchanged nces and charged at an enemy in the mid-stage of Competent Force.


    "Boom!"


    The elder from their family appeared on George''s body and engaged the enemy directly. Justin moved around the perimeter, asionally getting knocked back only to return stronger each time.


    William stood in the distance, various Psychic Gear and ability weapons appearing around him, resembling a venomous snake. Over the years, the only reasons he stayed with the family were his elder brother and the Forebearer.


    Now, as he watched his kin fighting all around, he seemed to understand that it wasn''t just his brother and the Forebearer who cared about him. Perhaps everyone in the family was silently contributing, just like Nichs, who silently stood in front of everyone, shielding him as well.


    These guys, one day in the future, might not care that he was a ck sheep, or about the many wrongs he had done. They would stand with him without hesitation.


    "A bunch of... fools."


    [Your descendant William, feeling the deepest hidden emotions among his kin, has gained the trait: Hidden Guardian]


    [Like Nichs, he is willing to remain hidden at the heart of the family, eliminating all enemies for them. When killing for the family, his strength increases by 20%, and he bes more ferocious.]


    Strength is growing, growing!


    William found his opportunity, hundreds of Psychic Gear, ability weapons, and even totems from the druids flew towards the Competent Force expert, then, explosion!


    ...


    Fight to the death, relentless battle!


    Ethan watched the family''s fight, all the descendants united like never before, fighting desperately!


    And the reason for all this was not just the widespread ''Family Will'' skill, but also Nichs leading them into the future.


    In this battle, many family members, like William and the two young monks, were awakening their traits.


    Thirty years ago.


    All the descendants acknowledged their weakness, but now, they finally faced the entire rk tribe with the posture of the strong, and they crushed them!


    The sky was also a battlefield.


    It had been an hour, and there was High Priest Luke, as a tribal leader, he possessed the peak strength of Competent Force. With his own power, he calmly faced many experts from the ckwood family!


    Then.


    Despair descended!


    "Whoosh"


    [Activating skill—Fight, dear Forebearer!]


    [Your current strength has reached the early stage of Competent Force, possessing the power of rules, descending into the game world requires consuming family will: 3]


    [Descend?]


    "Yes!"


    In the sky, the Forebearer''s Psychic Position formed a family emblem, its golden light shining in front of Luke, making him cautiously step back, ck mist emerging, the Twin Fish Harmony Seal enveloping all directions!


    "Forebearer!"


    The ckwood people were shaken, after thirty years, the Forebearer descended again to fight alongside them!


    ...


    "Whoosh—"


    A gust of wind surged, Ethan descended into this world again, looking around, the ckwood children were fighting on the ground, he could hear their battle cries.


    Originally today... among these fighting children, Nichs would have been present.


    Suddenly.


    Ethan''s eyes focused on the retreating Luke, his deep voice resonating in the sky, "Capture him alive."


    As soon as he spoke, Ethan''s Twin Fish Harmony Seal spun, already showing on the spot, appearing in front of Luke, his body of ck mist, carrying the power of the five elements, the sun, moon, and stars!


    "Yes!"


    The ckwood people nodded slightly, they didn''t have the ecstasy they had when the Forebearer appeared before, they knew, the Forebearer''s mood was as heavy as theirs now!


    "Hahaha, think you can capture me alive? Ridiculous!"


    Another hourter.


    The ckwood descendants stood on Nathan''s coffin, their Forebearer had already begun to disappear.


    rk''s High Priest Luke, desperately knelt behind the ckwood people.


    The Death Coffin moved towards the ckwood direction.


    "Why... why?!!"


    Before the battle, he told Nathan, their rk tribe had no cowards, but he saw, one by one, rk''s people began to flee. Even their Competent Force mid-stage priest fled in front of the three young ckwoods.


    rk originally had the strength to fight, but in the face of the ckwood people''s frenzy, rk onlysted less than half an hour before disintegrating, fleeing for themselves.


    They looked like the real cowards!


    Even he...


    After the ckwood Forebearer appeared, he also experienced true despair, that ckwood ancestor hadplete mastery of the five elements within the Twin Fish Harmony Seal, containing the sun, moon, and stars, invisible within the Twin Fish Harmony Seal, especially that spear capable of breaking allws, could also dispel the natural energy of the world.


    Five minutes, if the opponent hadn''t intended not to kill him, he would have probably died long ago.


    Until the opponent left.


    Nathan''s boundless Sea of Death, Luna''s Six-Tailed Fox form, Lucas''s Sword Intent domain, and Amelia''s summoned Divine Tree slowly surrounded him in the sky with two dragon serpents, three zombies, and several younger family members.


    He thought about running, but escape was impossible.


    Where rk stood, Mount Jade crumbled, stained with blood, dust filling the sky. Rising to the heavens was the fierce pride of Nichs and the ckwoods. What copsed was their so-called Druidic honor and courage.


    On the screen, Ethan quietly watched it all unfold.


    [Congrattions, your descendants havepletely destroyed the rks!]


    [Before he left, your descendant Nichs, in the name of the ancient ckwood ancestor Nathan, had the Cloudrise Oceanview Pavilion send letters to every county and major power throughout the Emerald Empire. He let everyone in the Emerald Empire know that thirty years ago, a traitor emerged from the ckwoods, and his name was Nichs.]


    [He told everyone in the Emerald Empire that all the ckwoods were furious about his betrayal and fled the family. Until today, thirty yearster, the ckwoods had gathered enough strength to righteously annihte their kin, breaking the entire rk n in one fell swoop.]


    [Your family has cleared the name of ''human race traitor'' and remains the proud ''Azure Cloud Warriors.'' The entire Emerald Empire is celebrating this rare victory for Cloudview County.]


    [Gain +5 Family Will]


    "What kind of victory is this? What kind of celebration?"


    Ethan clenched his teeth, his fists tight, until all that was left was a sigh.


    ...
