Rural Doctor Enters the City: Whoever Touches My Wife, I'll Take Them Down!-Chapter 1836: Zhou Rong!

Zhou Yu was taken aback; he did not expect Zhou Rong to ask about his father.

Zhou Yu shook his head and said,

"I have never seen my parents. I only know that my father’s name was Zhou Yintian."

Upon hearing this, the old figure showed a contemplative expression.

After a long while, he shook his head and said,

"I have never heard of this person."

Zhou Yu smiled wryly and said,

"Senior, I am not even aware of your identity. However, I imagine you must be from a very, very long time ago."

The old voice spoke,

"My name is Zhou Rong!"

"The founder of the Yan Clan!"

Upon meeting this person, Zhou Yu already had his suspicions.

At this moment, hearing the person declare his name, Zhou Yu’s heart was still filled with shock.

It really is Ancestor Zhou Rong.

This should not be someone from ancient times, right? At least, it should be from a prehistoric era.

Unexpectedly, after two epochs, he was still alive.

This is simply incredible. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Seeing Zhou Yu’s reaction, Zhou Rong said,

"You need not be surprised; I have long since perished."

"Now, I am but a wisp of residual thoughts."

"May I ask, what year and month is it now?"

Zhou Yu was stunned; he didn’t know how to answer.

After a moment, Zhou Yu smiled wryly and said,

"Senior, I also do not know which era you are from. If I were to tell you the year in the Gregorian calendar, you surely wouldn’t understand."

"I can only say it is another epoch after the ancient, prehistoric, and ancient periods."

"Over ten thousand years have passed since ancient times."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Rong’s expression clearly showed a sign of agitation.

"I did not expect so much time to have passed."

"How is the Human World now? Has the crisis of the Dark Clan been resolved?"

Zhou Yu immediately bowed and said,

"Senior, in ancient times, the Dark Clan was sealed, but now, after ten thousand years, it has begun to revive. Many Demon Lords almost break the seal, and the Human World is in grave danger."

"Including the Yan Clan, many ancient forces have already been infiltrated by the Dark Clan, and the situation is even more dire."

"However, currently, many forces, like the Taoist Sect and my master, are doing their utmost to combat the Dark Clan."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Rong frowned.

"How many strong cultivators at the Divinity Transformation Stage are there in the Human World now?"

"Divinity Transformation Stage?" Zhou Yu’s face froze.

Then, he smiled wryly and said,

"Senior, the cultivation inheritance has become extinct. Within the entire Human World, I have only ever met one cultivator myself!"

"The others are all Martial Artists."

"And the Martial Arts Inheritance developed from the remnant cultivation inheritance is vastly inferior!"

"Currently, the strongest person in Martial Arts is said to be in the Emperor Realm."

"As for the Emperor Realm, it only barely equates to the early Nascent Soul stage!"

"What???"

Hearing this, Zhou Rong’s old figure trembled slightly.

After a moment, he sighed and said,

"I did not expect the Human World to have regressed like this!"

"Pitiful, sorrowful!"

To Zhou Rong’s lament, Zhou Yu did not know what to say, remaining silent instead.

After a long time, Zhou Rong spoke,

"How are my clansmen now?"

Zhou Yu’s spirit was lifted, and he promptly said,

"As I just mentioned, the Yan Clan is facing a massive crisis."

"The Clan Leader of the Yan Clan is being corroded by Demonic Qi, the Qingluan Princess is trapped, and the four factions are contending for power."

"The only solution now is to resolve the Demonic Qi issue plaguing the Clan Leader, so he can recover his strength to stabilize the chaotic situation."

"But without the assistance of the Fire God Stele, it is impossible to break the impasse!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Rong said in a deep voice,

"If you purely rely on the inheritance and transmission of Dao, you will ultimately fail to tread broader realms."

"But the changes of heaven and earth are not something you can control."

"Therefore, I cannot entirely blame you!"

"Nonetheless, my inheritance can only be passed on to my people."

"Even though your talent is great, you have your own path to follow; my inheritance is not suitable for you."

Zhou Yu immediately bowed and said,

"Understood, senior."

"In the future, bring the Yan Clan girl here, and I will pass on the inheritance to her myself!"

"Of course, with your relationship with her, passing on the inheritance to her is no different than passing it on to you."

Hearing these words, Zhou Yu was instantly stupefied.

He looked at Zhou Rong with a dazed expression, wondering what he meant by that.

Just then, Zhou Rong burst into laughter.

"What?"

"Since you’ve already engaged with my descendants, are you still trying to hide it?"

"..."

Zhou Yu was speechless.

He quickly said,

"I dare not, I dare not!"

"Alright, I won’t joke around with you anymore."

Zhou Rong said solemnly,

"Based on what you said earlier, you should be the leader of humanity in this era."

"Carrying the destiny of an era on your shoulders, your burden is heavy."

"In the future, you will surely have to confront the issues with the Dark Clan."

"I remind you: to thoroughly resolve the Dark Clan issue, you must achieve one thing!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu perked up, as this was the issue he most cared about.

He promptly asked,

"Senior, what is it that you speak of?"

Zhou Rong slowly said,

"Break the dimensional barrier!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu’s face turned to astonishment.

"Break... the dimensional barrier?"

Zhou Rong nodded.

"Indeed!"

"The so-called Dark Clan is actually no different from the Human Race; both are among the cosmos’s myriad races."

"Their incursion into the Human Race has a simple purpose: to breach the dimensional barrier!"

"The plane we are in is a lost plane."

"Lost plane?"

In Zhou Yu’s heart, an intense shock was brewing.

What Zhou Rong was speaking of was something Zhou Yu had never heard of before.

At this moment, his tone involuntarily revealed a sign of astonishment.

"Indeed!"

"A lost plane."

Zhou Rong nodded.

Zhou Yu quickly followed up,

"Why is it lost?"

Zhou Rong shook his head and said,

"That, I do not know."

Unknowingly?

Zhou Yu was at a loss.

Zhou Rong continued,

"What I just told you is a secret paid for with the lives of countless cultivators from the two epochs of ancient and prehistoric times."

"As for why this plane is lost, perhaps only by reaching a higher plane can the answer be found."

"And this task can only be carried out by your descendants!"

"I hope you have the chance to accomplish it."

Hearing these words, Zhou Yu immediately bowed and said,

"I will do my best!"

"However, senior, if humanity faces the risk of extinction before the dimensional barrier is broken, what should we do?"

Zhou Rong chuckled and said,

"On that point, you need not worry."

"The Human Race is a resilient race."

"Even in perilous times, an extinction disaster will not befall."

"Life will find its way."

"Moreover, the greater the crisis faced by the Human Race, the more it will force the emergence of geniuses."

"It has always been this way throughout history!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yu suddenly felt enlightened.

Although he didn’t know what he had precisely gained, he felt a sense of understanding.

Zhou Yu bowed and said,

"Thank you for your guidance, senior."

"This is all I have to say."

"I cannot help much with the crisis of the Human Race."

"But regarding the calamity of the Yan Clan, I can help you somewhat."

After speaking, Zhou Rong slowly waved his hand.

Boom!

Zhou Yu only felt a terrifying heat wash over him, and the next moment, he seemed to be in a world of flames...
