Global Evolution: I Super Double Up on my evolution-Chapter 550 - 258 Unprecedented Uneasiness!_1

The sudden appearance of the Old Ancestor of the Qin Family caught Su Yan somewhat by surprise and also aroused a great deal of caution in him.

When he had just finished dealing with the Mythical Aliens in Jiuzhou, he interrogated every Mythical creature he defeated.

One of the essential questions he would ask was, "Do you know the name Qin Tao?"

To this question, many Mythical creatures could provide an answer.

They said Qin Tao was an enforcer under that Lord, designated to restrain those Mythical invaders who were fighting for the status of an NPC.

The enforcer under that Lord...

Friend or foe? Su Yan could not quite grasp for the moment.

Therefore, caution was the best response.

Thinking thus, Su Yan looked at the Old Ancestor of the Qin Family and, with a completely composed face, inquired, "What is the Yin Yang Union?"

He knew of the existence of the Yin Yang Union, but he still had to feign ignorance on purpose.

It was to test the intent of the Old Ancestor of the Qin Family.

Upon hearing this, the Old Ancestor of the Qin Family spoke in a very ordinary tone, "The Yin Yang Union is an organization created by the remnants of the Yin Gate wishing to revive from the ashes. Eighty percent of the Yin entities on Earth were manufactured by them. Their goal is to raise Earth's concentration of Yin Energy to resurrect the deceased Lord of the Yin Gate."

"What is the Yin Gate?" Su Yan asked, somewhat curiously.

The Old Ancestor of the Qin Family replied, "It was an anti-humanity organization from a very, very long time ago, now reduced to the dust of history."

"You just said that the goal of the Yin Yang Union is to revive the Lord of the Yin Gate. Does that mean the Yin Energy from beneath the tombstone ahead is from the Lord of the Yin Gate?" Su Yan pressed on.

The Old Ancestor of the Qin Family shook his head and directly negated, "No."

"Hm?"

Su Yan was surprised by this response.

He immediately followed up, "Then what exactly is that vast Yin Energy under the gravestone?"

The Old Ancestor of the Qin Family spread his hands somewhat helplessly and said, "I arrived here even later than you did. You're asking me, but whom should I ask?"

Seeing that the Old Ancestor of the Qin Family did not seem to be lying, Su Yan suddenly became utterly baffled.

What's going on here?

He doesn't know what's happening either?

While contemplating, Su Yan suddenly turned to the Old Ancestor of the Qin Family and asked, "When I was clearing the Mythical creatures invading Jiuzhou just now, I obtained some information that they invaded the Human race's realm in order to obtain the status of an NPC. And this so-called NPC status comes from a mysterious person revered by that group of Mythical invaders as their 'Lord'. Master Qin, being the Old Ancestor of the Qin Family who has lived for thousands of years, you should be aware of these matters, shouldn't you?"

Su Yan directly exposed the identity of the Old Ancestor of the Qin Family and posed these rather sharp questions straightforwardly.

After hearing this, the Old Ancestor of the Qin Family did not immediately answer, but his expression altered slightly as he said, "Did you already know I was the Old Ancestor of the Qin Family?"

"Qin Yao is my girlfriend," Su Yan spoke plainly, without any trace of the tension one might feel when meeting a girlfriend's family elder.

The Old Ancestor of the Qin Family expressed his confusion, "Qin Yao?"

"You don't even recognize your own descendants?"

Su Yan was somewhat shocked. What was the situation with the Old Ancestor of the Qin Family? How could he not recognize his own Nth-generation granddaughter? Isn't he the vice chancellor of Jing University? There's no reason not to recognize Qin Yao, who is studying at the Jing University Institute of Plant Cultivation!

Su Yan found this puzzling.

Just as he was about to question this, the Old Ancestor of the Qin Family spoke up, "I have not paid attention to my own descendants for over a thousand years, so naturally, I do not recognize this Nth-generation granddaughter you speak of."

This response seemed a bit heartless.

Perhaps... when a person has lived long enough, feelings such as kinship have already become diluted. After all, they have witnessed countless separations and deaths. Of course, the most important point is that those who were his direct relatives have long since turned into mounds of yellow earth. "Kin fades in three generations," might well describe this situation. After thousands of years, it was a period long enough for countless dynasties to have changed, even by the standards of his previous life on Earth. Attachment to descendants would likely have faded completely.

Su Yan felt a wave of emotion.

After his reflections, he looked again at the Old Ancestor of the Qin Family and said, "Master Qin, do you know of this so-called 'Lord'?"

"I do not," the Old Ancestor of the Qin Family shook his head in response.

Upon hearing the Old Ancestor of the Qin Family's response, Su Yan couldn't help but slightly frown.

The Old Ancestor of the Qin Family had lied.

From the mouths of those Mythical creatures, Su Yan had learned that the Old Ancestor of the Qin Family was an enforcer under that Lord. Therefore, he couldn't possibly be unaware of that Lord's existence.

Thinking this, Su Yan no longer probed and directly got to the point, "Many of the invading Mythical creatures claimed that you are the enforcer for that Lord and that you serve that Lord."

This statement was very straightforward. It was just short of pointing at the Old Ancestor of the Qin Family's nose and accusing him: "You're damn well lying!"

The Old Ancestor of the Qin Family fell silent for a moment, then said, "Indeed, I am an enforcer under that Lord. But you may not believe it, I do not know the identity of that Lord."

"?" Su Yan was clearly baffled.

Seeing his skeptical expression, the Old Ancestor of the Qin Family continued, "I merely approve of his principles, and thus am willing to serve him, but I have never seen him in person and don't even know if he truly exists."

"Principles?"

"Natural selection, survival of the fittest." The Old Ancestor of the Qin Family answered with the concept Darwin proposed in *On the Origin of Species*.

After hearing this, Su Yan fell into deep thought.

Was the Lord mentioned by those Mythical creatures Darwin? It shouldn't be... On Earth in his previous life, any high school student would have known this phrase. Principles weren't the main point. The focus was: who exactly is that Lord?

RUMBLE...

Suddenly, the ground beneath their feet started surging violently.

The tombstone up ahead was moving!

The massive Yin Energy from beneath was intensifying rapidly, visibly pushing the tombstone up from the ground.

Afterward, a ten-mile radius centered on the tombstone shook.

"It's coming out!" Su Yan and the Old Ancestor of the Qin Family simultaneously thought. They both pushed off forcefully with their legs, quickly putting distance between themselves and the tombstone.

Soon, a loud BOOM! was heard.

The tombstone in front of them exploded right before their eyes!

「In an instant!」

The earth cracked and stones shattered, the air thrumming with explosive sound!

The Yin Energy in the air erupted, violently churning nonstop.

Having already pulled away, Su Yan and the Old Ancestor of the Qin Family were now staring fixedly at a large crater on the ground.

This crater had formed during the recent explosion. Within it, copious amounts of Yin Energy gathered, emitting an extremely strong oppressive aura.

The Old Ancestor of the Qin Family felt somewhat uncomfortable. He noticed that the concentration of Yin Energy around him was rising noticeably, continuously eroding his physical body. The erosion caused his body to sting painfully, making it hard to bear.

As for Su Yan beside him, he didn't feel much. He just felt a faint unease in his heart.

However, it was this unease that raised an unprecedented alertness within him.

Since evolving into a Mythical creature, he had never felt unease. To some extent, this indicated that within the deep pit ahead lay a truly terrifying entity, one far surpassing Mythical creatures!

Soon, an exceedingly deep voice transmitted from the pit: "Xu Zhi, I have emerged..."

A man, his entire body plastered with Talisman Paper, slowly rose from the deep pit.
