The abyss invades, I control the power of darkness

Everything on Earth is in chaos.

In the abyss, it is also not peaceful.

Tianyuan City.

"Haven't you figured out who killed Lao San and the others?"

Tianyuan City covers a vast area. There are no tall buildings in the abyss. All the houses are closer to ancient manors.

The Li family is a huge manor.

It can even be described as a 'city within a city'.

The vast martial arts arena, the courtyards scattered around, and the wide avenues are full of ancient style.

There is a hall in front of the martial arts arena. This hall is called the 'Martial Arts Hall'. Usually, the children of the Li family practice in this martial arts arena, and the elders of the family will watch in the Martial Arts Hall. If there are any large-scale activities or family gatherings, the 'Martial Arts Hall' will also be used.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a black suit stood under the 'Martial Arts Hall', looking at the Li family members who came to practice in the square. He had an indifferent expression and asked the people around him.

"Return home, not yet."

The old man who looked like a housekeeper beside him leaned forward and frowned: "The murderer is more than one step stronger than the third master and his men. The clan members who went to investigate reported that the third master and his men did not even have the slightest chance to fight back and were killed directly."

The middle-aged man's eyes were cold, but he couldn't help but murmur:

"The third master has already condensed the eight patterns, and he is in Yuedu. Even the old man of the Lin family can't kill him so easily... He doesn't even have a chance to escape."

The middle-aged man's name is Li Zongyao. He is Li Wenyao's brother and the fourth-generation head of the Li family.

The abyss has descended for five hundred years. The ancestors of their Li family were the first group of people to gain superpowers. Now it has continued for five hundred years. If we really count it as one generation every twenty years, it should have been passed down to the present. There should be twenty-five generations.

But in fact, there are far fewer. Li Changan and his men are the fifth generation.

It is really troublesome to explain. Simply put, people have found that superpowers are uncontrollable. Who awakens and who does not awaken depends entirely on luck, and human power cannot interfere.

The only exception is... after becoming a god, the offspring born will most likely awaken superpowers.

However, after becoming a god, the reproductive capacity of humans seems to be greatly restricted.

Under normal circumstances, it is still easy for an ordinary healthy couple to have a child. It is normal to have two children in three years.

But at the god level, it is very difficult to conceive.

It is normal to not have a child in sixty or seventy years, seventy or eighty years.

In this case, a huge human ethics problem arises... The god-level strong have a long life span, and it may take one or two hundred years to give birth to a child.

But his brothers and sisters who have not become gods may even have their great-grandchildren who are already old.

And this god-level descendant is likely to have superpowers, and with the supply of family resources, there is a certain probability that he can become a god. If you have children early, there will be no problem. But the children before and after becoming gods have huge differences in talent.

One generation is nothing, it can still be calculated.

But over time, one generation and two generations, generation after generation... In the end, you don’t know how to calculate the family tree.

Two people of the same clan are obviously the same age, but because their fathers or ancestors have reached the god level, according to the family tree, one of them may call the other a great-grandfather, or even a great-grandfather.

It's too confusing.

Even many people can't figure out their own descendants.

A white-haired great-grandson appears here, while their own sons may still be crying for food over there...

The trouble of calculation and registration is nothing, the most important thing is that this chaotic state is not desirable.

They are all passed down from the same ancestor, and the children here are several generations older than the centenarians over there. So should we divide the elders and the younger by generation or by age?

According to generation, this one is still a baby and knows nothing, so how can we discipline him?

According to age? That one is obviously your great-grandfather! Do you dare to educate him?

If it really develops like this for a long time, where are the rules in the clan?

A small family still needs rules, let alone this super family?

In the later stage of development, the number of people will exceed hundreds of thousands, or even millions. How to manage without rules?

When the noble families found out about this situation, they gathered together and came up with a solution.

That is to have two genealogies.

One is the main genealogy, which only records the descendants above the god level and after becoming a god. This is the ‘legitimate’ one.

The other is the secondary genealogy, which records all non-god level and after the god level… That one, just follow the normal way, is considered the ‘concubine’ one.

In this way, everything becomes clear.

The founder of each family is the first generation.

The descendants after the ancestor becomes a god are the second generation. This second generation, whether it becomes a god or not, can be included in the main genealogy. But if it does not become a god, its descendants can only be included in the secondary genealogy.

The descendants born after the second generation becomes a god are the third generation.

And so on.

According to this method of calculation, Li Changan is the fifth generation. Li Zongyao and Li Wenyao are the fourth generation.

There is no way. The days of human beings entering ‘immortality’ are too short, and everything can only be crossed by feeling the stones. The rules will naturally change with ‘immortality’.

Li Zongyao and Li Wenyao are rare true "blood brothers". Their father is the third generation ancestor of the Li family, Li Tianzong.

After Li Tianzong became a god, he gave birth to two brothers, Li Zongyao and Li Wenyao, within ten years. Both brothers were gifted and finally succeeded in becoming gods.

Li Zongyao is the second child, Li Wenyao is the third child, and there is an eldest son...but the eldest son was born before 'Li Tianzong' became a god. According to the new genealogy, this eldest son is a member of the secondary genealogy, not a direct lineage.

But although Li Tianzong later became a god, his first son stayed with him the longest and had a deep relationship with him. Therefore, after Li Zongyao and Li Wenyao were born, they also recognized this eldest brother.

It's a pity that the eldest brother has not awakened his super power and has average qualifications. Even though Li Tianzong gave him a lot of resources, he could only reach the ninth level of super martial arts and live to die at the age of 120.

Li Changan is the son born after Li Wenyao became a god, and is his only legitimate son.

Ordinarily, with an identity like Li Changan's, there are still a lot of people in the Li family, not to mention grabbing a lot of them.

But it is because his 'second uncle' is the fourth generation head of the family and he has treated him as his own since he was a child, which makes his status in the Li family extremely different. Finally, he was sent to Earth to coordinate the power of the Li family on Earth...

This is almost like cultivating Li Changan as a 'successor'.

After all, for such a large family business as the Li family, management ability is very important.

But unfortunately, he was killed.

This is also the reason why Li Wenyao couldn't hold back and directly brought two gods to worship, using the purifying water at all costs to enter the earth.

But he didn't want to leave and throw away his life.

Li Zongyao and Li Wenyao had a very deep relationship. They were the same mother and had a relationship for more than two hundred years. Now that Li Wenyao is dead, one can imagine Li Zongyao's anger.

But Li Zongyao has always had a calm personality, otherwise the position of the fourth generation head of the family would not have fallen to him. Although he was extremely angry at this moment, he still suppressed his grief.

After hearing the butler's report, he closed his eyes for a long time and finally asked, "Is there any other information?"

"have."

The housekeeper immediately told the story of Luochuan of Yunjiucheng being killed, the night watchman Earthwalker being stabbed, the two Earthwalkers missing at dawn, etc...

But after Li Zongyao heard all this, his expression changed, as if he had thought of something.

"Is there any news about the leader?"

he asked the steward suddenly.

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No."

"The Gong family didn't say anything either?"

"Maybe not……"

"Then, has the Night Watch notified the Abyss Council headquarters?"

"It seems... there is no news about this..."

Li Zongyao's brows furrowed, his expression solemn and his eyes flashing.

The leader has not spoken yet...the Night's Watch has not notified the Abyss Council headquarters...

The third child was killed, the descendants of the Yun family and the Luo family were also killed, and the two night watchmen at dawn disappeared...

Everything drew a line in his mind, and finally, he took a breath.

"Could it be that someone really plans to..."

Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still anymore.

The figure moved and disappeared.

"Master?"

The housekeeper looked at the empty front with a blank expression...

…

…

Li's backyard.

Some secret place.

This is a huge manor, overflowing with light, as if filled with an infinite mysterious atmosphere.

This is the retreat place of an ancestor of the third generation of the Li family. It is usually a restricted area for the Li family members and should not be disturbed lightly.

But at this moment, a figure flashed and appeared here... It was Li Zongyao.

Standing at the door, Li Zongyao took a deep breath, leaned forward and said, "Father, Zongyao wants to see you."

His voice was not loud, but as his voice sounded, a moment later, the stream of colors in front suddenly began to ripple, and a gentle voice sounded in his ears:

"Zong Yao? Why do you want to see me all of a sudden?"

When Li Zongyao heard this gentle voice, his face became heavy: "Father, Wen Yao... is dead."

"What?"

The colorful ripples stirred up instantly, and the next moment, they exploded, and a figure appeared in front of Li Zongyao.

"What do you think happened to Wenyao?"

This was an old man with gray hair. His eyes were as bright as fire, and under the terrifying mental power, even Li Zongyao felt a kind of terrifying pressure...

It seemed that my father was only one final step away from reaching the Poyuan realm.

He thought to himself.

Immediately, with a heavy face, he told everything that had happened in the past few days.

The other party's expression was still angry at first, but after hearing all the recent events, especially after such a big thing happened to the Night Watch and the leader did not speak out, his expression also changed.

Li Zongyao observed the expression of his father Li Tianzong, noticed the change, and knew that his father might have gone with what he thought.

"Father, I seem to have heard you mention it... Grandfather seems to..."

Li Tianzong waved his hands with an ugly expression, and Li Zongyao stopped and lowered his head.

Li Tianzong's expression kept changing, and in the end, he gritted his teeth: "It seems that one of those old guys really had that idea... No matter who it is, if he kills my children or grandchildren, I will definitely make him pay the price! I will definitely make him pay for this." Got it, don’t worry about it anymore, and don’t act rashly!”

"yes."

"Okay, you go down. I have to go out."

"Father……"

"I'm afraid your great-grandfather doesn't know about this yet. I have to go and tell him. I'm afraid only your great-grandfather can solve this matter."

After Li Tianzong said this with an ugly expression, he swayed and disappeared.

Li Zongyao looked at the empty yard and frowned.

But in the end, I turned around and left...

…

…

In fact, scenes like this did not only happen in the Li family.

The same goes for the Luo family.

besides……

Lin.

The Lin family also has a huge manor in Tianyuan City, covering a vast area and built against the mountains.

The top of the mountain is the retreat place of an ancestor of the Lin family.

The amount of vitality and mental power required to reach the divine level to the source realm is an astronomical figure. It is not an easy task to achieve the breakthrough conditions.

There are some god-level powerhouses who, after condensing one or two divine lines, are no longer able to continue... It is said to be accumulated, but it is also a grinding effort, time-consuming and labor-intensive.

But there is a world of difference between the source realm and the divine level. No one at the divine level wants to break through to the source realm.

Divine steps can be seen everywhere in the abyss.

But in the Origin Realm, that is the real ceiling.

To put it bluntly, in the abyss, only by setting foot in the source realm can one truly step into the ranks of the strong.

Therefore, the ancestors of many great families have been practicing in seclusion all year round, hoping that their vitality and spiritual power will reach the point of breaking through the source realm as soon as possible.

The third generation ancestor of the Lin family, ‘Lin Cunyi’, lives in seclusion all year round and does nothing to disturb him.

But today, Lin Cunyi was alarmed.

There were usually no people in his retreat, but today, many people came.

Lin Cunyi, who has neatly trimmed white hair and is wearing a set of white practice clothes, is at the top of the list. A group of people below are standing respectfully. Here are Lin Haochen, the fourth generation head of the Lin family, several of the fourth generation gods, and... ...Lin Quan.

At this moment, Lin Cunyi was staring at Lin Quan with an indescribable solemn expression: "Are you telling the truth? Yun Jiucheng really asked you, the Luo family, and the Li family to each give ten pieces of purifying water to target What is dawn?"

"Yes."

Lin Quan, who was extremely arrogant outside, looked respectful at the moment. How could he be frivolous and arrogant at all?

"After being rejected by you...you were assassinated?"

Lin Cunyi continued to ask.

"yes."

A look of fear appeared on Lin Quan's face, and he said seriously: "If Lin Hao hadn't taken action, my grandson would probably..."

Lin Hao is a space superpower. After being assassinated, he was the first to react and immediately pulled Lin Quan into another space. Only then did he escape the assassination and escape immediately.

Because he was not injured, while Yun Jiucheng and Luo Chuan were being rescued in the ICU, Lin Quan had already returned to the Lin family on Earth.

Then he was obviously frightened, thinking that it was really Zhang San who took action, so he did not dare to act randomly, and he was also anxious. Who knew that just when he was considering whether to return to the abyss, the news that Yun Jiucheng and Luo Chuan were assassinated in the hospital shocked him instantly.

Then he rushed from the earth to the moon city overnight, fearful all the way, and finally escaped back to the abyss.

Then he immediately informed his father... Lin Haochen, the fourth generation head of the Lin family, about his experience.

Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, Lin Haochen's face was greatly moved, and he immediately brought him to his ancestor.

This ancestor is his biological grandfather, and this is not the first time he has met him. But every time he saw his grandpa, the aura from his body made him tremble... because it was too strong and not something he could understand at all.

He is also a god, but the pressure his father puts on him is far less than that of his grandfather.

Lin Cunyi looked ugly after hearing Lin Quan's words.

Just as he was thinking about something, his expression suddenly changed and he looked up at the sky.

Seems to have noticed something.

Then, Lin Haochen also raised his head.

"This is……"

Lin Haochen was hesitating.

Lin Cunyi stood up: "I'm going to leave for a while. During this time, don't act rashly and always pay attention to the news on the earth."

Lin Haochen was startled, then seemed to understand something, and said respectfully: "It's father."

Lin Cunyi didn't speak anymore, raised a step and disappeared...

"This spiritual power...is from the Li family, right?"

Behind Lin Haochen, a god-level man hesitated and spoke.

Lin Haochen nodded, and then said: "Okay, this matter will be like this for now. Quan'er, during this time, you can practice well at home, and the earth... don't go there for the time being."

Lin Quan nodded when he heard this: "Okay."

"Everyone else, please do your own thing."

Lin Haochen waved his hand and everyone left together...

…

High in the sky.

After Lin Cunyi flew for a while, he saw a gray-haired old man waiting for him high in the sky.

"It seems that you also got the news."

Lin Cunyi just spoke.

The gray-haired old man Li Tianzong had already said in a cold voice: "Is it your Lin family?"

"Um?"

Lin Cunyi was startled, then frowned: "No, I just heard my grandson mention it and thought of this possibility."

"Really?"

"It's really not... at least, I didn't receive the message."

Lin Cunyi said seriously.

Li Tianzong looked at him and was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed and he and Lin Cunyi looked in the same direction at the same time.

"Li, Lin, are you playing some trick?!"

Before anyone arrived, an angry voice had already sounded.
