Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Chapter 1245 The Ancestor of the Ye Family

"...?"

Ye Ge was somewhat bewildered by what the demon man in front of her said.

Is there really a demon in this world with a skin even thicker than his?

The demon man looked Ye Ge up and down carefully, then nodded in satisfaction: "Hmm...not bad, not bad. Such handsome looks, quite like mine back in the day! I suppose you, like me, must be very popular with girls, right?"

"..."

Ye Ge paused for a moment, not responding to his question, but instead asking directly, "So who exactly are you? Why are you in my consciousness?"

"I?"

The demon man pointed to himself: "What, don't you recognize me?"

Ye Ge was baffled: "How do I know you?"

"Tsk...the younger generation...they have no sense at all..." The demon man pulled his black robe up at an angle, revealing a symbol on the side: "Well, you should recognize this emblem, right?"

Ye Ge's eyes narrowed.

The emblem on his robes was a hideous demon's head...

That is the crest of the Ye family!

"Our family crest??" Ye Ge's expression turned serious. "You wouldn't happen to be...?"

The demon man smiled slightly: "That's right."

Night Song: "Are you perhaps an admirer of our family?"

The demon man: "......"

"I am the ancestor of your family!" the demon man said, his face ashen.

"..."

In truth, Ye Ge already had a guess in her heart. She was just saying that on purpose.

The moment he saw the emblem, many things flashed through his mind.

The murals within the Xuanji Barrier World... the Demon Ancestor from millions of years ago and a human woman... the prophecy on the Heavenly Prophecy Stone Tablet...

so......

Is that demon man in the mural him?

If this demon man is indeed an ancestor of the Ye family, then it's just as we suspected before...

The Ye family's ability to control magic is not a so-called mutation of demonic genes!

Instead, they possess the pure bloodline genes of ancient demons!

"Are you really the ancestor of our Ye family?" Ye Ge still scrutinized the demon man in front of him with a hint of curiosity.

"Nonsense!" The demon man snorted, not intending to argue with Ye Ge. "Hmph... Fine, I suppose so. After all, you probably find it strange that you, a human, and I, a demon, would claim to be your ancestor, right?"

“Oh, no, that’s not the case.” Ye Ge said calmly, “I already know that the Ye family members are not completely human, but rather hybrids who evolved after the union of humans and demons, resulting in a breakthrough in their bloodline.”

"Oh?" The demon man raised an eyebrow. "It seems that your generation of descendants has discovered some of the family's secrets. Not bad, not bad."

"You said you are an ancestor of our Ye family." Ye Ge thought for a moment, "Then why are you in my consciousness?"

The demon man grinned: "Well..."

"Naturally, it's to tell my descendants some important secrets about our family."

Ye Ge became even more curious: "An important secret?"

"Yes." The demon man's lips curled into a slight smile. "First, let me introduce myself—my name is Ye Aotian! I am the Demon King Lord of the twenty-five millionth year of the Myriad Races Calendar!"

"..."

Upon hearing the name, Ye Ge felt a pang of reluctance to make a sarcastic remark.

A good name...

No wonder this ancestor had such a crooked mouth...

The Myriad Races Calendar is a calendar system that begins to run from the end of the Second Myriad Races War and the beginning of the God Race's rule over the myriad races' territory.

It has been more than 100 million years since then.

In other words, this ancestor lived at least 70 to 80 million years ago!

"What you see of me now is merely a wisp of my soul power left behind back then," Ye Aotian said with a smile. "This wisp of soul power is deeply rooted in the genes and bloodline of the Ye family for generations. When the first descendant of the Ye family is about to break through to the Soul Emperor realm, my consciousness will be activated! At that time, the descendant will be able to see me in this consciousness space."

"But... I really didn't expect it, damn it, you younger generation are so disappointing!"

"Only one Soul Emperor realm cultivator has been around for over ten thousand years, and yet only one person is about to reach that level! What a waste of the good genes I left you!"

Ye Aotian shook his head helplessly.

Ye Ge was slightly taken aback.

He noticed a problem...

"More than ten thousand years?" he asked in surprise. "Didn't you just say that you were from seventy or eighty million years ago? Could it be... that you lived from seventy or eighty million years ago all the way to more than ten thousand years ago?"

At this moment, Ye Ge thought of the content on the mural again.

A descendant of demons from an ancient race.

Ancient human women.

These two people, separated by such a vast era, were still able to fall in love and have children together.

It feels like a huge bug in itself.

So when Ye Ge first saw that mural, he even wondered if it was a prank created by someone.

Ye Aotian's lips curled into a smile: "Oh... kid, you're quite perceptive..."

"That's right, I was a person from 70 to 80 million years ago."

"But living that long is impossible; not even a demigod could do it, except for a god."

"This is precisely what I wanted to tell you, the biggest secret of the Ye family..."
