Phoenixâs curiosity was piqued. She tattled next to him, âWhy was our father involved?â
Ignatius said, âYou probably arenât well aware when it comes to this matter because you were just a
wimpy brat wearing diapers at the time of the incident. Back then, it was earth-shatteringâ¦â
âAlright. Stop showing off and say it quickly.â Albert patted Ignatius on the back of his head.

Alex
Knowing that he was Jadeâs adopted son, Albert felt a sense of affinity for this man.

Phoenix glared at Albert. âPaul is my brother. Who allowed you to hit him?â
Albert
Alex
Paul
He
âHuh..?â
The seniority was really messed up. If one calculated starting from Jade, Albert was Jadeâs disciple,
and he and Ignatius were peers. However, when the poisoned Ignatius stayed at the Rockefellersâ, he
addressed Maya and Waltz as aunts. That said, wouldnât Albert then equate to becoming his uncle?

If one were to calculate starting from the fact that he was the eldest son of the Rowan family, it would
then be impossible to figure it out.
âI didnât hit him. I just touched him gently. Jeez⦠A woman like you wonât be able to understand the
communication between men.â said Albert. Then, he urged Ignatius to have a serious talk. The incident
of Xienna being locked for dozens of millennia wouldâve been a mind-boggling tale.

Ignatius said, âThat happened more than ten millennia ago. Back then, my dad and several friends
were being hunted by a few kings of the nether realm and entered the turbulent void. They then
encountered the tide of void beasts⦠That scene was absolutely shocking.â
Dorothy asked, âYou havenât seen it before with your own eyes, havenât you?â
Ignatius said, âI havenât seen the Memory Crystal!â
Phoenix said, âDonât interrupt. Go on.â
âAlright. Those void beasts were troublesome creatures. And that legion of beasts consisted of at least
tens of millions of void beasts. The moment someone gets caught in it, he would die for sure. Anyways,
they fled along any path they could stumble upon and bumped into the entrance of the time ruin. Oh, by
the way, that time ruin has a pretty decent name, called Eternalis.â
âSomething called the Time Blade lies within it.â
âThatâs the killer blade of youth!â
âIf one gets slashed by the Time Blade, a kid will become a middle-aged man, a middle-aged man will
become an old man, and an old man will be gone right away.â
âBack then, Xienna Stoermer also encountered the entrance of the time ruin after running away from
home. She fell into it and couldnât get out. After my dad and the rest entered it later, they met Xienna by
chance. Then, they went to great lengths to come out of it together with her. However, do you guys
know what happened to Dimitri Rockefeller in between?â
Dorothy asked, âDimitri found a new lover, didnât he?â
Ignatius gave a thumbs up. âAs expected of high emotional intelligence, youâre spot on. But I think
Dimitri couldnât help it. Didnât Xienna run away from home and go missing at that time? After Dimitri
learned about the situation, he certainly wanted to find her, but he went in the wrong direction and
headed to the Evil Forest. After that, Dimitri miserably found that he was caught in a war between the
elven races and was seriously injured. When he was unconscious in the elven war, a woman saved
him. Then, he and that woman escaped to the Evil Forest for a hundred years. What could âve possibly
happened throughout that century that he was stuck with her through thick and thin? There are simply
just too many of them! Thatâs when Xienna discovered that Dimitri really had another woman when she
returned.â
After he finished, he then added, âXienna Stoermer really had no chance of winning against that
woman.â
Phoenix asked, âWhy? Didnât Xienna sacrifice a lot for that man?â
Ignatius said, âBut, that woman was gentle, amiable, sensible, and generous. Xienna Stoermer⦠Was
over self-willed. Sheâs also a very jealous womanâ¦â
Dorothy tried comparing Xienna to herself and found it unlikely to be a jealous woman. She had
allowed Albert to marry a few concubines.
Albert
Alex
Albert asked, âWhere is Dimitri Rockefeller right now?â
Albert
Alex
âHow would I know that? Iâve reincarnated several times! When that d*mn guy threw Xienna and me
into the Pool of Reincarnation, he cast a curse on us so that we couldnât be reincarnated. I was slashed
by the God-slaying Sword more than a dozen times! D*mn it, it really hurt!â
A sudden whim struck Albert. âSo, did you experience the pain of the Flesh Grinder too?â
Albert
Alex
Ignatiusâs eyes were bloodshot. âUncle Albert. I was so miserable! That d*mn bast*rd better not let me
catch him! Otherwise, I will skin him for sure!â
Albert
Alex
It was then that they all managed to understand the context.
At that moment, Ignatius said, âUncle Morten, Iâd like to ask you a favor.â
Morten,
Alex,
Albert said, âPray, tell.â
Albert
Alex
Ignatius said, âIâd like to ask for your kind help to take care of my mom and my sister⦠She is currently
a remnant soul. Her messed up body probably wonât be able to last long.â
