"Those outfits... they're celestial soldiers! Those are celestial soldiers from the Heavenly Court!"
In the last batch of murals, several paintings depict warriors wearing golden armor.
Soon, someone recognized that the style of these armors was very similar to that of the Heavenly Soldiers of the Heavenly Court, and they were not ordinary Heavenly Soldiers' armors, but high-level armors among the Heavenly Soldiers.
Since the ancestors of the Chen Clan had fought against the Heavenly Soldiers, the truth was obviously about to be revealed, and some people had even lowered their heads, revealing expressions of pain.
"It's true! We really are of the Sinful Blood Lineage!"
At this moment, Chen Hongjie saw that the time was right, stood up, and shouted loudly.
"After seeing these murals, you probably have a general idea of what they are all about."
Now, let me officially reveal the answer!
He waved, and several representative murals from behind him were quickly enlarged and placed in front of the group.
"That's right! Our Chen Kingdom family are descendants of the God-Slaying God Clan."
These words caused an uproar in the room.
"However, we are by no means of the Sinful Blood Lineage."
As you may have noticed, our ancestors fought against the Heavenly Court Army, but look at this painting; our ancestors were clearly also enemies of the Abyss Devil Race.
Chen Hongjie spoke rapidly, not wanting his people to dwell on negative information for too long, so he pointed to another painting.
"Do you see that tree behind our ancestor? That's the World Tree, the only passage to the other world to obtain the Heart of Pan Emperor."
The mission of the God-Slaying God Clan has always been to protect this place.
However, something unexpected happened later; the God-Slaying God Clan was falsely accused of colluding with the Abyss Devil Race, ultimately leading to their being attacked by a united front.
Thousands of years have passed, and it is now extremely difficult to investigate old cases from that time. Chen Hongjie could not possibly fabricate lies to deceive his people, so he could only reveal the mission of the God-Slaying God Clan to convince them.
"You should know that the God-Slaying God Clan is not a direct descendant of the God-Slaying God; their predecessor was the Ancient Chen Clan Tribe."
It wasn't until the first God-Slaying God fell that the patriarch of the Chen Clan Tribe made a pact with the God-Slaying God, promising to protect the Heart of Pan Emperor for generations. Only then did the God-Slaying God leave his power in the bloodline of the Chen Clan Tribe.
From then on, the Ancient Chen Clan Tribe changed its name to the God-Slaying God Clan.
Therefore, it is impossible to say that the God-Slaying God Clan betrayed the Pan Emperor Continent. If any of them truly intended to harm the Pan Emperor Continent, they would probably have already perished from bloodline self-immolation.
After Chen Hongjie finished speaking, he paused, hoping that the clansmen would digest the information he had made public in order to lay the groundwork for the next step.
After Chen Hongjie's explanation, the atmosphere below did improve considerably. Some people clenched their fists, revealing indignant expressions, wanting to seek justice for their ancestors.
"Hmph! I knew the Haotian Empire had no good people."
"Perhaps the accusations against our ancestors were orchestrated by those people in Heavenly Court."
"That's right! Those people in Heavenly Court always look so righteous, but in reality, they're all about self-interest."
I don't believe they're really that great, that they'd fight to the death against the Abyss Devil Race to protect the Pan Emperor Continent.
I don't care about the past, I only care about the present.
If the Haotian Empire tries to use this as a pretext against us, I will make them pay the price.
After a while, Chen Hongjie stood on the platform again.
"Alright! The reason I'm revealing our ancestors' past today, besides responding to rumors, is for another, more important reason, which you will all have to decide for yourselves."
He pointed to an ancient altar beside him and said loudly.
"This is the Awakening Altar of our God-Slaying God Clan, which can help you awaken the God-Slaying Bloodline within you."
I would like to remind everyone that the God-Slaying Bloodline belongs to the bloodline of gods. Once awakened, it goes without saying that one's physical attributes will be enhanced in all aspects, and one's cultivation potential will be improved, and one will gain innate skills. It can be said to be all benefits and no harm.
However! The God-Slaying God Clan had, after all, made a pact with the God-Slaying God. After the God-Slaying Bloodline awakened, they had the responsibility to protect the Heart of Pan Emperor.
I'm not sure exactly what form this contract will take, but it certainly won't be without any impact.
Therefore, I hope you will think carefully about whether you want to inherit the mission of God-Slaying God and fight to protect the Pan Emperor Continent.
If you're not prepared, I won't force you; it's entirely voluntary.
After Chen Hongjie finished speaking, he stepped back, while Chen Mu flew up from the center of the altar.
He opened his left hand, and a God-Slaying Child Seal in the shape of an octagon flew out from his palm and entered the area beneath the altar.
Immediately afterwards, a crimson beam of light shot into the sky from the center of the altar, and a man holding a sharp sword emerged from the crimson light. He stared ahead expressionlessly, as if nothing in the world concerned him.
Countless golden runes flew out from the pillars surrounding the altar, swirling and floating around it, filling the altar with a primal and ancient aura.
"His sword seems to be the same one my father used back then."
This was the first time Chen Mu had seen the phantom of the God-Slaying God power manifest, and he examined it with great interest.
According to legend, the God-Slaying God had four personal weapons: two swords, one spear, and one bow.
The two swords are the Heaven-Defying Sword and the Emotion-Severing Sword, the spear is the Yimie Spear, and the bow is the Soul-Breaking Bow.
The phantom man in the blood-red light is holding the same sword that Chen Haoran drew when he used the God-Slaying Bloodline. It is called the Heaven-Defying Sword, which can reverse the universe and destroy everything. It is extremely terrifying.
Besides the Heaven-Defying Sword, Chen Mu had always suspected that the Wentian Divine Spear in his hand was the Yimie Spear, because when he was escaping from the Divine Lord Hundred Battles, he had used the Wentian Divine Spear to unleash the power of Game Annihilation.
However, the spirit of the Wentian Divine Spear refused to answer Chen Mu's question directly, so he could not confirm it at the moment.
After the altar was activated, all preparations were complete, and Chen Mu turned around to announce to everyone.
"I hereby declare that the Awakening Ceremony shall now officially begin."
Those clansmen who wish to activate their God-Slaying Bloodline, please enter the altar in order.
As soon as Chen Mu finished speaking, a group of people rushed towards the altar. There were just too many people, and the road to the altar quickly became congested.
"Don't worry, there's no limit to the number of people who can awaken."
Only one hundred people can be awakened inside the altar at a time. Those who are behind, please line up outside.
Chen Mu had already arranged for palace guards to maintain order. Before entering the altar, each member of the royal family participating in the bloodline awakening would be given a bottle of ' Bloodline Essence ' by the people of the Hall of Living Beings.
