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

Chapter 1247 The Origin of the Human Race and the Night Family

"Eight hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals descended upon the demon realm at that time."

"After a fierce and brutal battle, the entire Demon Realm was reduced to scorched earth and completely destroyed, with only a very small number of demons surviving the catastrophe."

"For more than 20 million years afterward, the gods never stopped hunting down the surviving demons, because they knew the potential of those demons who possessed pure bloodlines of the ancient demon gods."

"Under the relentless pursuit of the gods, the number of demons with pure demonic blood is dwindling..."

Ye Aotian looked solemn. He paused for a moment before continuing, "And I am the last demon with pure ancient demon blood, and also the last demon lord."

Ye Ge silently processed this information, then asked, "And then what happened? What happened to the embryo you were originally researching and cultivating?"

"After the destruction of the Demon Realm, that research came to a complete standstill, and a lot of important research data was lost." Ye Aotian crossed his arms and said slowly, "But the surviving demons did not give up. After all, this plan has always been regarded by us as the last chance to revive the ancient demon race in the distant future, and also the last trump card to turn the tide against the gods!"

"So the surviving demons spent more than 20 million years to finally complete the remaining research... During this time, the demons had to do research while also evading the pursuit of the gods, resulting in the deaths of countless members of their tribe. By my generation, our tribe had less than a thousand people left."

"..."

The night song is silent.

"After that, we finally succeeded in creating the first human embryo." Ye Aotian continued, "But later we discovered that even among humans, only a very small number of individuals can perfectly fuse with our genes, fully unleash their ultimate potential, and produce bloodline-breaking gene mutations... Out of more than 100,000 embryos, only one woman with such genetic potential emerged."

"You can probably guess who this woman is, she's your great-great-great-great-great-grandmother. And the other ordinary embryos are just ordinary humans now."

Ye Ge seemed lost in thought.

He suddenly remembered the strange human anatomy diagram on the stone tablet of the Heavenly Prophecy.

No wonder the human anatomy diagram on that stone slab is completely different from the current human body structure.

"So that's it."

Night Song said, "So, the human race actually appeared as early as 70 to 80 million years ago?"

"Well... you could say that, but you can't really say that either." Ye Aotian shrugged.

"?" Night Song: "What the hell?"

"You better listen to me properly!" Ye Aotian rolled his eyes at him, then continued, "Your great-great-great-grandmother was born soon after, and grew up to become my wife... To put it bluntly, I simply treated her as a breeding tool that I created, but as we spent more time together, I accidentally developed some feelings for her... I can't help it, she's just too beautiful."

Night Song: "..."

"Ahem..." Ye Aotian coughed twice: "Of course, she's also completely smitten with me. She's always sticking to my side, calling me 'Master' and 'Dad' all the time... cough, anyway, it's really hard not to feel a flutter in one's heart!"

"In short, we successfully had a child." Ye Aotian crossed his arms and continued, "But under those circumstances, the gods still did not give up their pursuit of us. Even if this child were born, he certainly would not have had a chance to survive."

"So, I used magic to turn the child's embryo into a seed, and the other 100,000 ordinary human genes also turned into seeds, and then buried them deep underground in the Eastern Continent."

"It will take these seeds about 70 to 80 million years to germinate and grow underground... In other words, after 70 to 80 million years, a brand new race with great potential will inevitably appear on this continent—that is, the human race now."

After Ye Aotian finished speaking, a slight smile appeared on his lips: "This is the biggest secret about our Ye family, and also about your human race."

"...Good heavens."

Ye Ge took a deep breath.

He found it hard to believe...

Originally, he had already guessed that the Ye family members not only possessed human blood, but also bloodline genes related to the ancient demon race.

Good heavens! I never expected that the humans in this world were actually a created species! And they were even created by the demon race!

Ye Ge touched his nose: "Tsk, so it seems that people were right when they said the Ye family brat was born evil?"

"Go away, what do you mean by 'born evil'? You sure know how to talk." Ye Aotian snorted, "God and demon are just names. The ruthless things those gods have done are no less than anything! If our demon race had won the Second War of the Myriad Races, then the demon race would now be synonymous with 'god'!"

Ye Ge listened to his words and smiled slightly.

He has always believed that.

In fact, he doesn't care about being labeled as inherently evil.

Everyone has their own yardstick for the concepts of good and evil.

"Alright, I've told you the secret."

Ye Aotian changed the subject: "Now, let's get back to the main topic. My Ye family has finally produced a descendant who is about to cross the Soul Emperor realm barrier. Kid, you've hit the jackpot. Today, your ancestor will help you break through to the Soul Emperor realm!"

Ye Ge asked curiously, "How are you going to help me?"

Ye Aotian raised his arm and beckoned with his finger: "Come here."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ge approached Ye Aotian.

He raised a finger and gently placed it on Ye Ge's forehead.

"When you were trying to break through to a higher realm on your own before, did you always feel that the barriers of each realm were indestructible and that cultivation was extremely difficult?"

While using the magic power at the tip of his finger to probe the state of magic power within Ye Ge's body, Ye Aotian spoke leisurely.

"difficulty?"

Ye Ge thought about it carefully and said, "It's alright, except that I encountered a little obstacle when I was about to break through to the Soul Emperor Realm this time."
