C3971 There Is One

Intelligent Universe, wilderness.

Hei Yuankuiti lit up Hei Zhaoyu.

Hei Zhaoyu was nicknamed "Hei Family Five" because of his current generation's rank. He was ranked fifth, Hei Shouyi was his grandpa, and Hei Yuankui was his second uncle.

There was one special characteristic of the Hei Family family, which was that only one person in the Zong Family branch would become famous.

For example, Hei Shouyi and Hei Yuankui were not blood brothers, but cousins. Their father was their blood brother, and their grandfather was the same person.

Hei Shouyi was the direct descendant of the Zong family. His father was also the direct descendant of the Zong family, and so was his grandfather.

Hei Yuankui's father was the fourth uncle of Hei Shouyi and the fourth brother of Hei Shouyi's father.

It sounded somewhat chaotic, but in reality, it was very easy to sort out.

When Grandfather Hei Family was old, he started to nurture Hei Shouyi's father. But aside from Hei Shouyi's father's realm and knowledge, the main thing he nurtured was his control over the people's hearts, the execution of family rules, and his loyalty to the family.

For example, Hei Yuankui's father, Hei Family number four, was famous for his reserved personality. Before War of Immortality, no one had heard of this person, his personality was reserved, did not like talking, but he was very meticulous, so he had already started helping to manage some of the family's complicated matters, and even married and had children very early. Although Hei Yuankui's father was the youngest, he was born a long time ago, and was only slightly younger than Hei Shouyi, and was slightly older than the other cousins.

The other brothers were the same. Some liked martial arts, so they raised a powerful fighter. Some liked to play tricks, and they spent all their time studying them, and so on.

However, the family's main resources, wealth, and energy were all used to nurture Hei Shouyi's father. For others, they only nurtured one specialty.

The key was to train one person. This person would become the future Patriarch. As for the others, they would have their own strengths and strengths. What they needed to do was to assist the future Patriarch.

At the same time, the Patriarch had to be loyal to the Family, take care of his brothers and sisters, and understand the human heart.

This was a specialty of the Hei Family family, and everyone was aware of it. This characteristic was also an important reason.

To this day, the Hei Family has maintained this tradition.

Hei Shouyi was the eldest son of the direct descendant, and so he was raised to be the future Patriarch. Hei Shouyi only had one younger brother, but currently, almost no one knew what World of Meaning Hei Shouyi's younger brother's name was.

That's why he became the head of Universe Security Office of the Eight Kings, standing at such a high position, and his power and prestige were not low either. But Hei Yuankui's two younger brothers and two younger sisters, some of them had been working for Hei Yuankui since they were young, and some of them went to work for Hei Shouyi, so they did not have much reputation.

Each branch only nurtured their own direct descendants. The others would retreat and do other things to save resources for their direct disciples.

But correspondingly, the direct descendant received so many benefits, so he had to bear the corresponding responsibility. They had to work hard for all sorts of major events within the clan, and they had to return the rewards to the clan. Moreover, Hei Family stipulated that before any of the direct descendant of a branch could hold a position in the World of Meaning, they had to serve as instructor for three hundred thousand years in the Inner Academy, and teach the young disciples of the Hei Family.

In general, it was a balancing act between power and responsibility, while at the same time strengthening the internal integration of Hei Family.

No matter who was at fault, they would first have to kneel in the ancestral hall for a hundred years, and then copy down the family rules ten thousand times. Afterwards, the elders would decide who was at fault and who was right.

Little Wu and Hei Zhaoyu were raised like this by the Hei Family.

Little Wu's father was the third brother of Hei Shouyi and Hei Yuankui, and Hei Zhaoyu was the eldest son.

Hei Shouyi was not married. He had always been busy with family matters. Like Hei Shouyi, Hei Yuankui was not married either. The two of them had no children.

The four older brothers and sisters in front of Xiao Wu were actually all not black. They were all Xiao Wu's concubines and cousins, and the first four were all cousins. The other three were all cousins.

In other words.

Little Wu was actually the eldest son of this generation of Hei Family.

Therefore, many years ago, Hei Shouyi had already started deliberately grooming the fifth young man, Hei Zhaoyu, and had poured a large amount of resources into the fifth young man. Although the fifth young man's seniority was very high, he was actually not very old, rather he was quite young. In terms of seniority, he was a generation older than Sword Maniac and Luo Wumei, but in terms of age, he was almost the same age as them.

To put it bluntly, Hei Family now intended to raise Little Five to the next Patriarch.

Although it hasn't been confirmed yet, Hei Shouyi once said that the next generation's Patriarch could be Little Wu, Little Seven, and Little Eight, which means Hei Zhaoyu and his two younger cousins.1

The nurturing of every generation of Patriarchs in the Hei Family was extremely early. Just like Hei Shouyi, before the War of Immortality, he was already designated as the Patriarch. But after the War of Immortality ended, many years had passed, and it wasn't until the Dark Age passed that all kinds of authority gradually rested on Hei Shouyi's shoulders.

If Hei Shouyi and Hei Yuankui already had a child, then of course Little Hei Zhaoyu couldn't become the head of the family. Moreover, after his generation, he couldn't actually be considered a direct descendant because his branch was already very far away, and now he could still call Hei Shouyi as uncle or Hei Yuankui as cousin. Then in his next generation, this branch would be completely side by side.

But because the distribution of power and responsibility was very clear on Hei Family and the internal rules were strict, there had never been a competition for the Patriarch's seat.

Hei Zhaoyu started to work for the government during the past few years. Before Sword Maniac came out, he worked at Unified Pillar for two million years, and only became an officer when Sword Maniac came out.

Later on, because of the war of Intelligent Universe, he was ordered to lead an army to assist them. Here, he began to accept Hei Yuankui's teachings.

Hei Yuankui had already told Hei Zhaoyu a lot of important things today.

Especially the Lost Melting Furnace.

And Hei Zhaoyu also guessed a few things.

That was the identity of the twelfth prophet.

"Uncle, Yi Family is like standing on top of a tall mountain. We seem to be climbing at the foot of the mountain or at the waist of the mountain.

Hei Zhaoyu pondered over the vocabulary.

"In this world, is there anyone who can challenge the authority of the Yi Family?"

"Yes." Hei Yuankui's answer was very straightforward, as if he had already expected Hei Zhaoyu to say this.

Of course he had expected it.

Back then, when Hei Yuankui had just started to know some stories about Yi Family, he had asked Hei Shouyi the same question.

Not a single expert was willing to accept that there were other powerful existences above them. Furthermore, they were all powerful existences that could control everything in their path.

Hei Yuankui looked at the distant setting sun and said faintly, "At least one."
