It turns out I'm a second-generation demon.

My name is Li Xianyu. In this era where time travel and rebirth have become commonplace... I inherited my father's legacy: a great-grandmother!

(╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻

The warm spring sunlight streamed into the living room, and on the spacious sofa, Tianluo... oh no, Great-Grandma, wearing a white shirt, sat astride. Opposite her was Li Xianyu, who was trying to reshape his worldview.

First of all, it can be confirmed that Great-Grandma is not a normal person. Li Xianyu doesn't understand what kind of existence she has yet, nor does he dare to ask.

In short, it's anti-science.

Li Xianyu, who grew up breathing smog and eating preservatives, once fantasized about bumping his head on the corner of the bed and creating a system or something.

But when he saw his great-grandmother emerging from his stomach, along with his father's will, he found it hard to accept.

What about my values?

What happened to the values ​​and beliefs I developed during my nine years of compulsory education?

It's dead!

"You are a descendant of the Li family, and I am your ancestor, so according to seniority, I am your great-grandmother, right? That's what your father called me." The great-grandmother puffed out her chest and spoke with conviction.

My dad's great-grandmother, but she's not my great-grandmother.

If I were to call you Great-Grandma, wouldn't I be my dad's brother?

"But you look younger than me. I'm not stupid," Li Xianyu said, taking a sip of tea.

"Yes," Grandma nodded, "I died when I was eighteen."

"Pfft..." Li Xianyu sprayed all the tea onto his great-grandmother.

The great-grandmother frowned, wiped the water stains off her body, and since this generation of great-grandchildren was different from the previous generations and had not received education from a young age, she was bound to be surprised when she heard the bizarre truth, so she was not angry.

Li Xianyu took a deep breath and opened his father's second letter: "When you open the second letter, it means your great-grandmother has already refreshed your worldview. Haha, don't get excited. How can you grow up without refreshing your worldview?"

"The world you see is just the tip of the iceberg. Every father should personally open the door to a new world for his son. Ordinary fathers can only help their sons save money to find a wife, but I will teach you how to see this real world. You are not an ordinary person, but a descendant of an ancient demon with excellent bloodline. When you and your great-grandmother can communicate (and even have sex), you will awaken your bloodline power. Before you awaken your bloodline, never touch that real world. Also, your great-grandmother is a very powerful battle spirit, and also a… You should take care of yourself and discover her potential." The will ended there.

Hey, explain yourself clearly.

What the hell is this "ancient demon bloodline"?

Li Xianyu was completely confused; his deadbeat father had only said half of what he meant and hadn't explained anything clearly.

"Grandma... what does the will mean?" Li Xianyu handed over his father's will, hoping that his great-grandmother could explain everything to him properly. If it weren't for his father's will, he wouldn't be sitting here calmly talking to the pretty girl who called herself his great-grandmother.

Grandma took it, glanced at it, and said, "The literal meaning."

"I don't understand, but it sounds impressive. Grandma, could you please enlighten your great-grandson?"

Grandma tilted her head and said seriously, "Of course, no problem. Let's start with a bottle of Ugly Doll."

"Huh?" Li Xianyu was taken aback.

What the heck is Uglydoll?

Do you have chocolate with gold coins?

"......"

"There must be some popping candy, right?"

"....."

"Where's the watermelon bubble gum?"

"..."

Grandma puffed out her cheeks, raised her eyebrows, and looked adorably naive as she huffed, "What? You don't even have any of these delicious snacks?"

Li Xianyu realized: "Many of the snacks from over twenty years ago are no longer sold."

Grandma seemed to have suffered a huge blow, clutching her chest, her heart aching so much she could hardly breathe: "Li Wuxiang, you bastard, you short-lived devil, you made me sleep for twenty years. The world after twenty years is so boring, I can't live anymore."

As they were talking, the woman started throwing a tantrum on the sofa, appearing very agitated and angry.

Grandma's high-class image vanished instantly.

Li Xianyu was stunned for a moment, "Um, we still have snacks, shall I go buy some for you?"

There was a convenience store downstairs. Li Xianyu took the elevator down, browsed around the convenience store, and bought a bag of spicy strips for three yuan and potato chips for six yuan.

Back home, Grandma stood by the window gazing at the city. Li Xianyu walked into the living room and heard her soft voice: "The changes are so great. There were never houses this tall before."

Knowing that his great-grandmother wouldn't hurt him, Li Xianyu felt a little more at ease. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come back. He would have turned around and run to his adoptive father to ask for a second adoption.

"After all, it's been twenty years, and our country has developed very quickly," Li Xianyu chimed in.

What year is it now?

"2220."

"Almost 150 years," she said, her clear eyes gazing into the distance, gradually becoming vacant, her voice growing ethereal: "Every time I fall asleep and wake up, the world changes. Constantly changing. But I remain forever the same; time has lost its laws over me..."

One hundred and fifty years...

Li Xianyu almost peed himself.

Grandma suddenly turned around, her aura of a wise and experienced woman vanished, and she glared at me like a spoiled little girl: "Where are the snacks? If the snacks aren't good, I'll beat you to death."

Li Xianyu obediently served spicy strips and potato chips.

"Hiss... Hiss... Delicious... Hiss, how can it be so delicious... I love this era... Hiss, so spicy." Grandma bit into a spicy snack, fanning herself with her small hand as tears welled up in her eyes from the spiciness.

Looking at his great-grandmother who had rediscovered her love for this era, a phrase popped into Li Xianyu's mind: "Wang Jingze, a man of unyielding integrity, would sell out his country for a bowl of fried rice."

"That's right," Li Xianyu gave a thumbs up and chimed in, "Weilong brand spicy strips, a childhood memory for me."

Li Xianyu watched her happily finish the whole bag of spicy strips, gulp down two glasses of water, then munch away on potato chips, pat her little belly, and lazily lie on the sofa, saying in a coquettish voice, "Let's talk. Before your father resealed me, he did indeed entrust me to be your life mentor."

"Okay, Great-Grandma." Li Xianyu sat up straight. They had finally arrived, and he was eager to find out everything.

Silence fell over the living room. After a few minutes, Li Xianyu said, "Great-Grandma?"

Grandma rolled her eyes and said irritably, "What?"

"You may begin."

"I'm not well-educated and need to organize my thoughts. Please allow me to ponder this for a moment, and don't disturb me."

A few minutes later, she adjusted to a duck-sitting position, her left hand across her chest and her right hand supporting her chin. "Do you know about the existence of ancient demons?"

Li Xianyu shook his head cooperatively: "I don't know."

"Those were powerful creatures that existed in ancient times. Before humans learned to record history, or even before humans were born, the ancient demons ruled this world and were the masters of this planet."

"The dominant species in ancient times must have been the dinosaurs."

"The Earth's hundreds of thousands of years of history have buried too many unknown secrets and past events. Dinosaurs were just creatures that appeared in a certain period of time."

"It's billions of years, Great-Grandma," Li Xianyu corrected.

"..." Grandma said angrily, "I'm not saying anything more."

Don't I have any pride?

"...I shouldn't have interrupted, please continue."

It seems you haven't read many books.

The great-grandmother said solemnly, "Humans are not the only intelligent beings throughout history. In ancient times, there was a species that possessed both wisdom and strength. Moreover, they were the darlings of nature, born with unparalleled power. Moving mountains and filling seas was definitely not just a legend for them."

Li Xianyu retorted, "That's fucking ridiculous! Why don't you just say they can ascend to immortality in broad daylight and join the ranks of the immortals?"

"Everything in the world has its unique racial talents. Some animals' abilities are superpowers to humans. Superpowers do exist, but humans don't have them, so we subconsciously reject them, thinking they are absurd and unrestrained. In fact, these are abilities bestowed by nature. The same is true for ancient demons. In fact, humans' yearning for ascension to immortality is not just a fantasy; they have truly witnessed the sight of flying and escaping. Ancient demons are powerful and terrifying creatures, but ultimately they could not withstand the test of time and were submerged in the long river of history."

"Wait a minute, since the ancient demons have perished in history, are we their descendants?" Li Xianyu recalled the contents of the will.

"Although the ancient demons are extinct, their genetic lineage has not been extinguished. According to the theory of evolution proposed by the Westerners, any species on Earth can find commonalities in their genes. We humans have the genes of the ancient demons, as do animals and plants. It can exist in our bodies, and it can also exist in dogs."

"Go on," Li Xianyu said, "Darwin's grandson has helped you keep his coffin lid down."

"The bloodline of ancient demons has spanned the entirety of human history. They possess abilities beyond human comprehension, as well as formidable physiques. They are not low-key; they have appeared frequently throughout history, but those in power have deliberately downplayed their existence. In modern times, however, the bloodline of ancient demons has completely disappeared into the shadows of history," said Grandma.

"If that's the case, wouldn't society be in chaos?" Li Xianyu's values ​​were in a desperate struggle.

He has always believed that human nature contains both good and evil, and that with great power comes great responsibility; similarly, with great power comes great harm.

"Is that all you've got?" Grandma spat. "Since ancient times, the bloodline of ancient demons has been a typical example of using force to break the law. Most of the prominent families among the bloodline serve the imperial court. Our Li family was once a renowned clan. In modern times, the Buddhist and Taoist Association has officially become the law enforcer of the bloodline world, managing all bloodlines. If you think that bloodlines can act recklessly and lawlessly, you are sorely mistaken. Bloodlines believe in the rule of the survival of the fittest, but the premise is that they are not allowed to disrupt social stability."

Li Xianyu said, "Then what about my father's death..."

When the biological father died, he must have been in his prime. With such a prestigious lineage, don't tell me he died of cancer or a car accident or anything like that; that's too down-to-earth.

"A man of the martial world dies in the martial world, and that is a worthy death," said Grandma.

"How did you die?" Li Xianyu pressed.
