The Ancestral Legacy Begins in the Wild West

Chapter 130 Return to the Great Harvest Family Tree: New Features

The flames and cannon fire of Nijo Castle faded into the distance, and the swords reflecting the light of whale oil lamps disappeared from sight.

Zhang Chang'an's weary body gradually faded from his surroundings, leaving only the tattered pages he had taken from the roulette wheel still in his hand, gradually merging into his vision. The family tree, slowly turning in the darkness, displayed the message: "You have completed the final restoration task."

"The timeline has changed. The forces in Kyoto during the Bakumatsu period have undergone tremendous changes. The Shinsengumi and Sakamoto Ryoma entered a higher stage of history earlier and did not perish in the Battle of Toba-Fushimi and the assassination incidents in history."

Although they alone could not stop the wolves on the island of Japan from eventually setting their sights on the corrupt dynasty in the East and the innocent civilians, the wheels of history continued to roll forward.

However, in the decades to come, it's not impossible that no one will inherit their ideals. And the tragedies on the land of Kyushu may well decrease as a result.

Although Tessho never returned to his homeland, his continued travels among the islands of Japan eventually gave him access to higher-level affairs in later eras, leading to further technological breakthroughs.

"The timeline restoration is complete and the system is now back online."

"Time fragments have been extracted +2000".

"Your synchronization rate with Tie Zhougong has increased, and access to related purchase pages has been significantly unlocked."

"You have received special inheritances: Tachibana Seiran's gift of Sasaki Kojiro's secret sword, Swallow Return; Okita Souji's gift of [Natural Rishin-ryu - Hira-Seigan Sandan-tsu].

"You have acquired 'Famous Sword - Bingzi Jiaolin (Slightly Worn)' (Rare) and 'Famous Spear - Dragonfly Cutter (Broken and Worn)' (Rare)."

"Tie Zhougong's posthumous savings, along with the profits from his early technology patents before they expired, have been converted into cash: 31 RMB."

MB.

"You have acquired the Broken Rank: Honda (Martial Artist), Uesugi (Martial Artist), Yagyu (Martial Artist), Tachibana (Martial Artist), Ito (Martial Artist)."

Looking at his harvest, Zhang Chang'an slowly dragged the chair back.

The scene before them was still the same as before they entered the rift. In the studio next to the photography studio: "#————I'm really exhausted."

"

He charged into battle on horseback, beheading Uesugi Kenshin and Honda Tadakatsu, and not only defeated a number of shogunate foot soldiers, but also fought against Takeda and Hozoin.

On this night of war, although many people did help him, he was truly exhausted.

Fortunately, the harvest was indeed very abundant: a full 2000 spacetime fragments, two powerful martial arts inheritances, two top-notch weapons, plus 30 in cash and a large number of broken slots.

It will take quite some time just to deal with him.

Not to mention, there's a brand new page waiting for it to browse: "You have retrieved the fragments of the Zhang family genealogy, and the patriarch's control over the genealogy has been upgraded. Advanced exchange items not originating from ancestors are now available on the exchange page."

Zhang Chang'an went back and looked through it, and sure enough, he saw that in the West, London and Kyoto, there were some things that were not entirely related to his ancestors' lives.

"[Indian Hunting Archery] (Qinghe Gong used a gun all his life, but perhaps he was incompatible with bows and arrows from birth, because every time he tried to use them, he did not get good results.)"

But after he had been away for half his life and decided to live in seclusion, a Native American girl who was very skilled in this art found him. She offered him half a cart of gold in exchange for cutting off half of her arm, asking him to teach her how to use a musket so that she could take revenge.

Unfortunately, although this girl eventually gave Qinghe Gong a place to settle down and allowed Zhang's story to continue in the west.

This allowed the arrows to be shot to receive the archery skills guided by the Native American ancestors, but because she lost one arm, this skill was ultimately not passed down.

Zhang Chang'an had just scanned the first newly created exchange item when he discovered one of the key uses of this feature:

Good heavens, is this my great-grandmother's skill?

The previous items exchanged were not entirely devoid of those from people outside of our ancestors; Amin's technology was one such example.

However, most of those exchangeable items were of low quality or had intricate connections to the ancestor, so the focus of the introductions was still on the ancestor himself. These are different now. He might be able to use this to learn more about the things surrounding the ancestor.

Of course, the focus of this feature still comes from the exchange items themselves. The most essential characteristic of these new items is that they have little connection with the ancestors.

For example, the Duke of Qinghe might not have even witnessed his archery skills. However, his inherent strength was undeniable. Scrolling down further, he had extensive contact with London and Kyoto, so it wasn't particularly difficult to guess what he could buy.

London boasts Dr. Lister's surgical skills, while Kyoto possesses the intricate hand-drawing sword technique of the four great assassins of the anti-shogunate faction. In short, the advanced options on the exchange page have become much more abundant.

"I can choose carefully later, but advanced skills—it doesn't seem like I'm particularly lacking right now." Zhang Chang'an pondered, then went back to look at the two advanced abilities he had acquired.

I was jumping around and moving my body, which felt quite strange.

Because the information had already been shown to him, but for some reason, it seemed that he had not yet generated any related memories of these two skills within his body.

Subsequently, the family genealogy provided him with a relevant notification: "The patriarch's authority has been upgraded. From now on, each time you receive an inheritance, it will be like receiving a deeply connected professional inheritance from Tianwei Yebushou, granting you additional memory information."

"

Zhang Chang'an understood: "So, in the future, when you buy these things, there will be some other items included?"

Judging from this statement, it's clear that this wasn't the first time he'd experienced this. When he bought the Hexametal Gun, he didn't directly acquire the skill; instead, he first viewed some fragments of his memories.

He pondered for a moment, then switched to his personal panel and activated Okita Souji's legacy.

Sure enough, his vision suddenly went black, and then, as if the lights were off and a movie was playing, he watched fragments of the past.

Okita's health seemed to have improved with the help of Tessho. After a conversation, Okita Souji decided to give Tessho his secret technique as a reward.

Zhang Chang'an's body immediately began to combine new techniques based on the rapidly flashing fragments of memory.

"Bang—" Zhang Chang'an stomped his foot hard on the floor in front of him.

Even though he managed to stop in time, this stomp, which wasn't at full strength, still sent him flying three or four meters, almost crashing into a large shelf in the workshop: "Whoosh—"

As the memories faded, Zhang Chang'an stepped back and sat down. "Luckily, I'm here. If it were still that old rented room, I would be slapping the wall right now."

As he complained, he slowly began another transmission of memories.

This time, it seems to be a bit more complicated.

"Are you leaving?" Tetsushū-gong stood in front of his shop, with the familiar streets of Kyoto before him, and Tachibana Seiran carrying her bundle on a wooden stick, her plain-colored nodachi serving as a support.

This probably happened some time after that night at Nijo Castle.

Xiao Ju's personal demeanor has changed a lot: "Hmm."

Her hair had grown quite long, tied in a long bun at the back of her head, with two strands hanging down on either side of her face.

After answering Zhang Chang'an's question, he suddenly changed the subject: "Do you know what happened to Mr. Hozoin later?"
