Chapter 752: The Last Question That Surprised Everyone

This question stunned Kristina, Lin Chuan, Cha Muxue, and the twenty Seventh Realm War Gods of the ’Owe Ye Xiu 2,500 Lives Alliance’. None of them had known that Ye Xiu had such a deep connection to the three major Judicator Families.

Qin Qing, an insider to these events, stared at Tu La without blinking, just as Ye Xiu did. It was because of the three major Judicator Families that she and Ye Xiu had been forced to live in ’Hell’ for ten years. She was desperate to know the answer.

"This..."

Tu La was caught completely off guard. He had not expected Ye Xiu to ask this, and he was so nervous his entire body tensed up. This was because he did not know much about it either.

"Ye Xiu, if I told you I know very little about what happened twenty-six years ago, would you believe me?" Tu La asked weakly.

"Then tell me what you do know," Ye Xiu’s voice was incredibly low. The moment he saw Tu La’s nervous expression, he had guessed the man did not know much.

Tu La nodded, organized his thoughts, and began to speak.

"To my knowledge, the Temple obtained a portion of the Dragon God’s remains. They extracted the blood and genes from the remains, hoping to uncover the source of the Dragon God’s power through research. However, the Sword Holder was pressing them hard, so the Temple tasked the three major Judicator Families with the project."

"After more than two thousand years of failure, the three major Judicator Families finally made a breakthrough twenty-six years ago. The plan was to inject newborn babies with Dragon God Blood, allowing it to fuse with their own blood and genes. Then, they would wait for the babies to grow up and awaken the Dragon God Totem..."

At this point, Ye Xiu interrupted, "Why not choose babies from the Eternal Islands? Why go to countries all over the globe to find newborn test subjects?"

Tu La gave a bitter smile. "It’s not that the leaders of the three major Judicator Families didn’t consider experimenting in the Eternal Kingdom. The problem is that the ancestors of everyone in the Eternal Kingdom were either Totem or Special Abilities Successors, so injecting them with Dragon God Blood would cause Repulsion."

"Moreover, the relevant scientists concluded that an injection of Dragon God Blood would lead to one of three outcomes: death, madness, or awakening. Death itself is not a major concern, but anyone driven mad by the Dragon God Blood would bring disaster to the Eternal Kingdom. That’s why the leaders of the three major Judicator Families decided to find newborn test subjects from countries all over the globe."

After hearing this, Ye Xiu’s expression turned ferocious.

He ground his teeth. "Do you have any idea what that decision cost? Because of you, my mother and my maternal grandparents were killed! My uncle was imprisoned for ten years! My uncle’s wife and her entire family were massacred! My maternal grandparents’ family went bankrupt! My mother and I were expelled from the Ye Family! For ten years, Qin Qing was subjected to endless assassination attempts! And I was made an enemy of the entire world, forced to flee and live in exile for a decade!"

Hearing Ye Xiu’s words, the twenty Seventh Realm War Gods of the ’Owe Ye Xiu 2,500 Lives Alliance’ were horrified. They had never imagined the three major Judicator Families had harmed Ye Xiu so grievously or that their feud ran so deep.

Tu La, Kristina, Lin Chuan, and Cha Muxue, however, were indifferent. In their eyes, everyone outside the Eternal Kingdom was an insignificant ant. Being chosen by the three major Judicator Families as a test subject was an honor, and the deaths of his family members were merely a necessary contribution to the experiment.

Despite thinking this, Tu La put on a somber face. "I am sorry for the suffering you’ve endured, but this has nothing to do with Kristina and me."

"In my eyes, no one in the three major Judicator Families or the Eternal Kingdom is innocent," Ye Xiu said, his voice dripping with killing intent. "Just as you don’t consider my mother and grandparents to have been innocent."

Tu La was speechless.

"Cut the crap, Ye Xiu," Kristina said impatiently. "Dad has already answered your question. Hurry up and ask your other questions. We need to go home after this."

Her words made Qin Qing and the twenty Seventh Realm War Gods so furious they wanted to flay the heartless creature alive.

Ye Xiu did not react. His rage had already reached its absolute peak. Taking a deep breath to suppress the inferno within, he continued.

"To my knowledge, under normal circumstances, a person can only possess one Totem or one Special Ability. After drinking the Golden Blood of the Golden Family, they can possess two. So why do you have three Totems?"

Tu La and Kristina were inwardly shocked. How could Ye Xiu know this secret?

Tu La explained, "If a person awakens a Totem or Special Ability through hereditary inheritance and then consumes Golden Blood, they can then possess two more Totems or Special Abilities."

Realization dawned on Ye Xiu. It was just like Chloe, who had inherited the Purple Pupil. After drinking Golden Blood, she could possess two additional Totems or Special Abilities. But people like Qin Qing, Leng Yue, Mo Luo, and Dizang, who had no inherited abilities, could only ever possess two.

"How do the three major Judicator Families mass-produce Totems and Special Abilities?" Ye Xiu asked, voicing a question that had long puzzled him.

Tu La was startled. "Who told you that Totems and Special Abilities are produced?"

"Aren’t they?" Ye Xiu pressed.

"No!" Tu La shook his head. "All the Totems and Special Abilities of the three major Judicator Families are bestowed by the Temple."

"Where does the Temple get so many Totems and Special Abilities?" Ye Xiu asked.

"All Totems and Special Abilities were seized by the Temple from countless masters over eons," Tu La said.

So that’s how it is... just as I suspected. I’ve long guessed that Totems and Special Abilities were the ’essence’ of powerful experts. If this essence could be stripped from a person’s body, preserved with special medicine, and then injected into someone else... I can’t believe my guess was true! It’s simply staggering to think about. How many civilizations must have appeared on Earth, how many powerful experts must have been born, for the Temple to accumulate so many Totems? The three major Judicator Families have been using them for over two thousand years and still haven’t run out.

"Ye Xiu, how many more questions do you have? I can’t just keep answering indefinitely, can I?" Tu La was growing impatient.

Ye Xiu took a sip of tea, pondered for a moment, and said, "Last question. As long as you can answer it correctly, I will allow you to take Kristina away, and I guarantee no one on Biluo Island will trouble you."

The eyes of Tu La, Kristina, Lin Chuan, and Cha Muxue lit up.

Tu La urged, "Then ask quickly."

Ye Xiu thought for a moment and asked, "If y is directly proportional to m, and m is inversely proportional to x, what is the relationship between y and x?"

Tu La: "???"

Kristina: "???"

Lin Chuan: "???"

Cha Muxue: "???"

Qin Qing: "???"

The twenty Seventh Realm War Gods: "???"

Everyone present was dumbfounded. They had all assumed Ye Xiu’s final question would be about some top-level secret. They never expected him to ask *this*.

"Ye Xiu, are you freaking sick?" Tu La shot to his feet, huffing with rage. "If you don’t want me to take Kristina, just say so! Did you really have to ask such a ridiculous question just to mess with me?"

Ye Xiu looked surprised. "Don’t they have education in the Eternal Kingdom? This is a junior high math problem about functions. You can’t even answer this?"
