“All of us were captured and sealed off in different places,” Theo continues.

‘And when the Upper house got to know of the scandal that happened in the lower house due to power struggle they just decided to let us be sealed for the next 100 years as a lesson as all the family members are way too complacent and now don’t fear anyone due to their family background.’

“Even though we are captured and sealed our captors also don’t dare to do anything to our family members, because they also know the bottom line of the Upper house, as long as we are all alive they won’t attack”.

Hearing this Leo is confused, “If we were all safe then why did you have to send me somewhere else for my protection?” Leo asks.

Listening to this Theo’s expression was a little complex as if he did not know what to say.

Suddenly a melodious voice from the side interjected.

 “Dear we should tell him everything while we have the time, before our spirit incantations are exhausted we even have to prepare something for our son,” Kiera said.

Leo was a little surprised hearing his Mom say something as he had already forgotten she was even here due to the shock he is experiencing.

“Am I getting my cheat or something?” Leo thinks to himself and is looking forward to what he is going to get.

While Leo is, busy in his fantasies, as if his father has made a decision after hearing what Kiera said continued.

“This works as well, you will get to know these in the future but we may as well tell you why all of this happened.”

Hearing this Leo wakes up from his fantasies and is perked up to listen to what his so-called father has to say.

“Well let’s begin when we were being chased by 8 other people from the family that has captured us.”

“Strictly speaking it was not just one family but 3 ancient families and many lower families came together to capture our people, the main culprits were Shi, Tang, Qiu family.

‘We were on the run for half a year, and during the fourth month time you were born.

Even though we knew that they don’t dare to do anything to us we were unwilling to be captured and still had some hope that maybe the Upper house will get our message and come to save us.’

‘But during that time we were still in the dark and didn’t know that third brother has betrayed us and is in cahoots with the three families.

‘Whenever we have new descendant in our family, someone from the Upper house will descend to make them their life artifact that is kept in the Upper house that keeps them informed whenever someone is dead or is in danger so that someone can descend to save them or retrieve their body and take revenge for them.

After saying, this Theo looks at him strangely.

‘But your situation is a little special, as you are born outside the territory of the family and except us maybe no one knows that Kiera has given birth to you.

‘If the three ancient families ever got to know of your existence then they would probably mobilize all of their family resources and connections to kill you.

Hearing this Leo was flabbergasted and wanted to ask did I kill their damn ancestors or something, why would they want to kill me?

“Why would they want to kill a new born baby?” Leo calls upon all of his existing courage and asks.

Theo sighs and replies “You don’t know the power of our family, basically every new born in our family when grown up can become an overlord of an area without much problem.”

‘If it was just one or two it would still be okay, but we are one of the most ancient family and by now, nobody can just guess how deep the waters are in the Heavenly Dao family, If they can kill another upcoming powerhouse of our family without any repercussions and fear of revenge.

How can they miss such a god sent opportunity? From the beginning of time when our house as formed by our ancestors till now only 12 people have died mysteriously which the family could not solve and 8 others due to which 4 sects and 4 ancient families were destroyed.

The Heavenly Dao family was formed 1,000,000 of years ago and till now there have only been 20 casualty due to outside forces.

Now they could kill another without even anyone knowing of it.

 And, as for us? There are many strange divine powers present in this world that can erase someone’s memory although the cost of it may be great how can it be compared to getting to kill one of the Heavenly Dao Members and getting away with it without any ear of revenge.

“Me and Kiera didn’t want to bet on the chances that they may not know that you have yet to get a life artifact.”

“Moreover our family still has a secret that many do not know of.’

Our founding ancestor, The Heavenly Immortal Daoist has left a pendant for us while also leaving behind a prophecy with it.

‘It is rumored in our family that the descendant who can light the pendant will bring the rise of our family once again to the peak of this universe.

Even though we are powerful there are many immortal families who if come together can also fight on equal ground on us.’

‘The pendant is usually with the Lower house family Head, who happened to be me.

While you were born after a millennium of slumber, the pendant finally reacted to your aura.

Then after a while it once again fell in silence, we would be lying if we said that we were not a little disappointed.

However, we remembered that the prophecy stated that the pendant would only react when the chosen one was 13 years old.

“We dare not bet on whether or not they may kill you, because if you are the prophesied child we would be the eternal sinners of the clan and more than that you are our first child, we didn’t want any harm to befall on you.

And so as we were being chased, Kiera and me started looking for a place to settle you where you can be safe for the time being till someone from the clan comes to find you.’ Theo says.
