What Ancestor Did This Atavistic Cub Revert To?

A house somewhere.

"The Power of Time here has vanished."

Someone went back into the room and spoke.

Inside the room, another person turned and glanced at the speaker:

"Is this for real? You're so calm?"

"Of course it's true, there's no benefit in lying to you," the Human Dao said.

The man stared at the newcomer for a moment, then smiled and said:

"I understand."

"It was that old Lu who did it, right?"

"He's definitely involved," the Human Dao said.

"Somehow, this Power of Time has now entered his son's body, and that kid isn't even trying to hide it anymore. You didn't expect that, did you?"

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, the person inside immediately glared and said:

"This guy not only ate his fill, but he also took the pot?!"

The newcomer glanced at him, shook his head, and said:

"You've known him for a while now."

"I do know of his good character, but," the person inside the room changed the subject:

"How old is his son? Can he handle it?"

"This is no ordinary power."

The visitor thought for a moment:

"Looks like she can handle it quite well, and even seems to enjoy it a little?"

"What the hell?" the person inside asked, then suddenly laughed.

"Is this what he kept saying—that he wanted to escape this life-and-death struggle? This guy's a bunch of troublemakers, each generation more corrupt than the last, hiding in some paradise and going completely crazy!"

The newcomer, however, remained much calmer. "You know him well. Like father, like son. Look at how disheveled his father is."

The person inside shook their head:

"I understand the logic, but my heart is just a little cold."

"This guy even lies to his best friends; he hides his true feelings from them."

Upon hearing this, the visitor spoke with obvious disdain:

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about Lao Lu anymore. You've also hidden things from your brothers quite a bit."

Upon hearing this, the person inside the room blushed.

"That's different!"

"Oh!"

The Human Emperor Hall.

"Alright, stop making a fuss."

Li Baimei spoke up:

"Reacting to such a minor disturbance makes us Human Race seem suspicious and lacking in confidence."

As soon as the voice fell, the crowd reacted somewhat, with some people temporarily shifting their attention away.

But for most people, although they came to their senses, their thoughts were clearly still on the matter.

At that moment, a voice said:

"Do any of you powerful figures understand what all of this is?"

"Is it still related to the Beast Race? Didn't they say they had Atavism cub? Could it be that they caused this commotion?"

"Is it really not related to the emergence of the Human Emperor Inheritance?"

With someone taking the lead, others will naturally be eager to follow suit.

Normally, they hardly have any chance to even come into contact with these top experts, let alone ask them questions.

Although it's not related to improving my strength right now, listening to their opinions can help broaden my understanding.

Listening to the barrage of questions raised by the crowd, Li Baimei turned to look at the other three groups.

The three parties, unusually in sync, all looked at Li Baimei, their meaning self-evident.

"I'll come if I want to."

Li Baimei didn't take it seriously. In fact, he had already thought of some explanations, and was just releasing them now.

At that moment, he spoke:

"I heard some of you ask if it's related to the Beast Race's Atavism offspring."

"To be honest, I'm still very worried about this speculation, because it is indeed possible."

"The Human Emperor Inheritance, which had been shrouded in mystery, has suddenly reappeared. Meanwhile, news of the Beast Race's Atavism offspring has also emerged recently. Coupled with the truth revealed in the legacy, all of this is probably no coincidence."

Upon hearing these words, many people in the crowd, who were already full of speculation, immediately became even more animated in their thoughts.

"If it's not a coincidence, then is there some connection between these events?"

"It can't be that the Human Emperor Inheritance was triggered by Beast Race's Atavism cub, can it? That would be too absurd. The Human Emperor's legacy has to be related to the Beast Race?"

"That aura just now, could it be that the Human Emperor Inheritance has fallen into the Beast Race?"

"..."

Amidst the heated discussion, a powerful member of the Sword Hall spoke up, asking Li Baimei:

"Are you suspecting that this matter is related to the bloodline inheritance of the Human Race?"

Hearing this question, many people were taken aback, wondering what the connection was.

But the person quickly realized what was happening, and a look of surprise appeared on their face:

"In that case, it's no wonder there's a saying that once Beast Race obtains Atavism offspring, they will return to their peak era."

Upon hearing this, bystanders immediately turned to look:

"What's the meaning?"

The man glanced around at the people looking at him and immediately said:

"Think about it, how did the Beast Race reach their peak?"

After saying this, without waiting for anyone's reply, he continued:

"Yes, it's because they devoured the Human Emperor; otherwise, how could they have achieved such glory? This is also recorded in the Human Emperor Inheritance."

"Then why did the Beast Race decline afterward?"

This time, someone learned to answer first:

"Because the power of the Human Emperor does not belong to them, they cannot inherit it!"

"Smart!" the man nodded.

"Even experts at the Dao Realm can alter their bloodline, allowing their power to be passed down from generation to generation. Not to mention the Human Emperor. Even if the Human Emperor were devoured, those who refined him would still benefit from it."

"This explains why these Beast Race have declined, but they are still stronger than they were at the beginning, unlike other Beast Race, and continue to maintain their status as the Sacred Beast Race."

Those listening to this showed thoughtful expressions on their faces.

"That sounds reasonable, but what does it have to do with what happened today?"

"Atavism, a child of the past." The man emphasized.

"Guess what exactly this so-called Atavism cub of the Beast Race has reverted to?"

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone who looked at the man was startled, and even those who had been listening casually couldn't help but turn to look at the speaker.

This statement is undeniably crucial.

They are generally aware of the Atavism of Human Race bloodlines.

When the power of a bloodline weakens to the point of complete disappearance, there may be a phenomenon of bloodline Atavism, like a final burst of energy before death. If it can rise again, it may create new glories. However, if it is difficult to achieve anything, the bloodline will come to an end.

So, what exactly is this "ancestor" that the Atavism cub is returning to?

This reminds me of what I just learned from the Human Emperor not long ago.

Atavism cubs truly revert to the original state of these Beast Race, wouldn't they be completely ruined, reverting to their days as ordinary Beast Race? How could they possibly lead the Beast Race back to its former glory?

Looking at it this way, the answer is almost clear and certain.

The Beast Race's Atavism offspring have reverted to the generation of beast ancestors who devoured the Human Emperor!

Immediately, the crowd erupted in an uproar.

At this moment, Li Baimei suddenly exclaimed in admiration:

"It seems that there are many wise people among our Human Race."

As soon as the words were spoken, the person who had pointed out this crucial issue came to Li Baimei's side.

"What you just said is exactly what I was worried about. Come on, repeat what you just said to everyone."
