The First Generation's Arrangements, Passing On a Technique

After explaining the whole story, the Light Clan Leader finally loosened his grip on Chen Ning's collar.

It's obvious.

He still loved Ji Hongyi very much.

"The father in Hongyi was once the most dazzling prodigy of our clan, and the successor of the previous generation. He was originally expected to succeed me, but during a collection of the World Origin a small world, he was intercepted by a powerful member of the Darkness God Clan. At that time, he could have lived if he had just handed over that origin, but he..."

The Light Clan Leader's gaze trembled slightly as he finished speaking.

"But he still refused to relinquish his source, even at the cost of his life. In the end, when our Saint Emperor arrived, he had already perished in battle, taking his enemy with him..."

"He's so foolish... The World Origin is precious, but compared to him, it's nothing..."

The chieftain of the Light Clan Leader looked somewhat somber.

Previous years.

He had high hopes for him, but he still died, which greatly saddened the Light Clan Leader.

"Since you love the goddess so much, why would you sacrifice her? You know perfectly well that doing so would ruin her future."

"Because I want her to be safe."

The Light Clan Leader sighed, "His father, on whom I once placed high hopes, not only faced various open and covert struggles within the clan after becoming its successor, but also had many eyes watching him, trying to bring him down. Outside the clan, he shouldered countless responsibilities. This burden was too heavy!"

Are you afraid she'll follow in her father's footsteps?

"Um."

The Chief of the Light Clan Leader nodded. "I've already wronged her father, and I can't let her be in danger again. But this girl is very stubborn, and her talent far surpasses that of her peers. I had no choice but to make her the new successor of our clan."

"But... this is ultimately too dangerous. Only by arranging a marriage between her and the War God Clan can we avoid countless open and hidden attacks and have peace."

Chen Ning was silent for a moment, then said, "You've really put a lot of thought into this. If the goddess's father were alive, he would probably think the same way you do."

Upon hearing this...

The Light Clan Leader revealed a smile.

It feels good to be understood.

But the next moment.

Chen Ning changed the subject, speaking seriously, "However, neither you nor her father have the right to decide who she will become, nor the right to decide which path she should take."

Upon hearing this...

The patriarch of the Light Clan Leader's expression changed slightly.

Chen Ning continued, "Even if you cleared all the dangers for her and chose the best path for her, she wouldn't want to. That's not what she wants. What she wants is to follow in her father's footsteps, even if it leads to the same ending, she'll accept it willingly."

The words had barely left his mouth.

The Light Clan Leader remained silent.

He lowered his head.

He was no longer in that smug and boastful state.

At this moment, he was like an old farmer who couldn't understand why his crops had withered, remaining silent for a long time.

Much later.

He then raised his head, looked at Chen Ning, and said meaningfully, "You and your ancestor may be able to change the entire Vast Land."

"Senior, can you tell me now what purpose the Patriarch came here?"

The Light Clan Leader shook off his previous gloomy mood and said, "Your ancestor recommended that you join our clan so that you would have a place to stay in the Vast Land. Perhaps he didn't expect that you would first establish a relationship with the Grand One God Clan."

In response to this...

Chen Ning understood.

The Darkness God Clan rule the Nine Provinces Realm. If any descendant of the Dragon-Seeking Sect can break through the world barrier and arrive in the Vast Land...

The best option would be to join the Light God Clan, who are opposed to the Darkness God Clan.

"Not only that, your ancestor also asked me to pass on a technique to you?"

"May I ask what methods you employ, senior?"

Chen Ning asked curiously.

"This is a unique technique of our clan, the Light Divine Mark! This is a divine-level Cultivation Method; you should be secretly delighted."

"Ah?"

Chen Ning was dumbfounded.

The Divine Mark of each God Clan can only be mastered by core members. He secretly learned the Darkness Divine Mark, and now the other party actually wants to pass on the Light Divine Mark to him as well.

However, this kind of thing is not easily passed on to outsiders.

Chen Ning couldn't help but ask, "Senior, I'm not a member of the Light God Clan, so possessing the Light Divine Mark might be against the rules, right?"

"I also thought it was against the rules."

The Light Clan Leader said somewhat irritably, "But your ancestor, in his battles with me, always had the upper hand. This thing was a wager, lost to him."

"This is acceptable?"

Chen Ning couldn't help but chuckle to himself, knowing that the First-Generation Sect Master would never suffer a loss no matter where he went.

The Light Clan Leader laughed, "Originally, I intended to teach you this technique in secret, but now that you and that girl in Hongyi have fallen in love and will soon be family, it's perfectly appropriate to pass on the Light Divine Mark Rune to you."

"Ah?"

"What are you 'huh' for? You've killed so many War God Clan. If you don't pledge allegiance to my Light God Clan, where do you think you can escape to?"

"So..." Chen Ning asked tentatively.

"So I agree to your marriage."

"No..."

"What do you mean it's not your fault, or is it the fault of the clan leader?"

The Light Clan Leader, bristling and glaring, said, "Aren't you all fake? But even if you're fake, you need to be shown to the outside world. Only then will I have a reason to protect you."

In conclusion...

He added, "Of course, it's fine if you two take your on-screen romance into real life. That girl in Hongyi is definitely good enough for you; you'd better seize the opportunity."
