Chapter 718 - The Secrets of a Terminator (5)
Ji Fengyan personally felt that her tolerance level was considerably high but these words made her really rooted to the ground.
She instinctively reached towards her chest and under her palms, she could feel the rhythm of her heartbeat.
The body that she was in… actually… was not a human!
She was a hybrid of a human and demon?!
Ji He nearly puked blood in exasperation.
She was bent on immortal cultivation, but she had become a creature that was half human half demon. She… needed some time to digest what she had heard.
“So you did not let me use the World-Termination-Armour because you were afraid that I would become like other terminators?” Ji Fengyan looked at Liu Huo.
Liu Huo nodded. “Once the World-Termination-Armour was activated, even if it was once, the awakening would also be set off and it would be a matter of time, but the latest would be up till 35-year-old.”
There would eventually be the day that one would reveal himself even after forcibly suppressing the demonic powers.
And that day would also be the start of a terminator falling from the clouds to hell.
“The monarchs of the kingdoms would not let such information leak out. They need the terminators to continue fighting the demon clan, so they would build up their reputation among the commoners and give them special rights and benefits,” Liu Huo said plainly.
But Ji Fengyan felt that it was unheard of.
What could this be called?
With fear, they worship, yet also kill the terminators.
“The life of a terminator is really a tragedy.” Ji Fengyan finally understood. Even though a terminator was glorious now, eventually, they or their descendants were only the sacrificial lambs to a kingdom’s powers.
“Ji family’s latest batch of terminator began from her grandfather’s generation. Usually, a terminator who had been born from a human and a demon would only last three generations in the bloodline, otherwise the blood of the demon would become extremely diluted and unable to withstand the power of the world-termination-armour. After three generations, the third generation’s terminator would be forced to procreate with a demon and everything would begin again. Your father was the first generation, and you are the second generation…” Liu Huo looked straight at Ji Fengyan.
Ji Fengyan almost vomited.
According to the rules, if she had a child, her child would be forcibly sent to… with the demons…
“It’s really too disgusting!” Ji Fengyan scratched her head in frustration. By now, all the doubts that she had were finally cleared.
She finally understood why there were no human souls in the grave of the terminators. It was all because when the terminators died, their bodies were already used as ingredients and sent to the Ming Workshop. In replacement of them, they buried animal corpses underground.
At the thought that when Liu Kai and the rest went to the Ming Workshop, they did not know that the thing used to repair their armour were their fathers’ remains…
Ji Fengyan felt her hair stand.
It was unimaginable how vicious someone had to be to come up with such a malicious solution.
Seeing the gloomy face on Ji Fengyan, Liu Huo sighed softly. “I did not want to let you know this early.”
If he could, he’d rather Ji Fengyan to be kept in the dark forever.
But he was very certain that with Ji Fengyan’s sensitivity, he could not conceal some truth for much longer.
“You should have told me earlier.” Ji Fengyan laughed bitterly. The truth was really unexpected, but… at least she would not be this passive like now.
Now, she only felt ridiculous that Zhan Fei and the rest had tried so hard to earn the praises of the Emperor, but unknowingly… They were only monsters that were despised.
