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

Chapter 1246 A Shocking History

Ye Aotian then looked at Ye Ge: "Now that you know that your bloodline contains both human and demon genes, you should also know a little about the secret history of our family, right?"

Ye Ge nodded slightly: "Mm."

With a hint of inquiry in his eyes, Ye Aotian asked with great interest, "What version do you know?"

Ye Ge pondered for a moment.

What he knew was what the old spirit next to the mural in the Xuanji Barrier had told him back then.

More than 10,000 years ago, humanity was a race that had failed to evolve, had weak superhuman genes, and was unable to cultivate.

However, a demon king later appeared and had a child with a human woman. The demon king soon discovered that this child possessed extremely special potential.

After some research, he discovered that a very small percentage of humans, after mixing with demons, have a chance to unleash the power of the extremely small amount of ancient demon bloodline genes within their demon bloodline!

He discovered that the genetic code of this segment of humans was highly compatible with that of the demon race, so compatible that it was as if it had been meticulously designed and typed out line by line! The probability of such a compatibility is extremely low, roughly equivalent to someone who knows absolutely nothing about computers randomly typing code on a keyboard and accidentally creating a Dark Myth Monkey King...

The child quickly displayed magical talents approaching those of an ancient demon god from billions of years ago. This discovery filled the Demon King with both joy and worry—he feared that if the gods discovered it, not only would his wife and children be in danger, but even the human race, which had just begun to develop the dawn of civilization, would surely be doomed to be annihilated by the gods.

To protect his family, the Demon King concealed the demonic characteristics of his children, making their demonic genes recessive. For tens of thousands of years, even the Ye family themselves were unaware that their ancestors were of Demon King blood, let alone that they possessed the talent to cultivate demonic power.

Until the seventh war of all races a thousand years ago, when the Night Clan was corrupted by demonic energy during their war against the dark races, they did not become demonized humans devoured by darkness and losing their minds. Instead, they became the only humans among the human race capable of controlling the power of demonic transformation...

“Hahahahahahahahahahaha…”

After listening to Ye Ge's account, Ye Aotian suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter.

"Sure enough, given enough time, all sorts of unofficial histories and legends will emerge... I used to wonder if those ancient historical records, written in such fantastical language, were just stories embellished and passed down from person to person. Now it seems that's indeed the case, and they've even made it up in my house..."

Ye Ge asked curiously, "So this is unofficial history?"

"Of course it's unofficial history! It spans such a long period of time, you can tell with your own eyes that this kind of history could never have been completely passed down to later generations!" Ye Aotian curled his lips, and then he said, "However, some of this unofficial history is indeed true."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ge immediately asked, "So, what is the real history?"

"This touches upon the biggest secret of our Ye family." Ye Aotian stared into Ye Ge's eyes. "The anecdotal history you just mentioned does contain some truth—a very small percentage of humans do indeed have bloodlines highly compatible with the demon race's genes. After interbreeding with demons, there's a chance they can unleash the power of the extremely rare ancient demon bloodline genes within their demonic lineage. But..."

Ye Aotian paused for a moment, then smiled slightly and said, "This harmony is not a coincidence, but was destined millions of years ago."

Ye Ge's heart skipped a beat: "...Huh?? Billions of years ago?"

"Your name is Ye Ge, right?" Ye Aotian gave him a deep look: "In this space, I can vaguely sense your attributes. I know your intelligence attribute is not low. You should understand that from a genetic point of view, it is impossible for two species separated by tens of millions of years to have such a high degree of compatibility in their gene chains. Unless... there is external intervention."

"..." Ye Ge seemed thoughtful, then frowned slightly: "You don't mean that human genes are actually..."

“That’s right.” Ye Aotian raised the corners of his mouth: “Human genes, every gene chain, were originally edited by the ancient demon race, one code at a time.”

Night Song: "!!?!?"

Ye Ge was completely stunned.

WTF? ? ?

The sheer amount of information conveyed in that single sentence had a profound impact on him...

"What does that mean???" Ye Ge asked, somewhat bewildered.

"Think about it yourself, and you'll understand." Ye Aotian rubbed his nose: "On the current map of all races, those races with highly civilized civilizations, the Eastern Dragon Clan, the Western Dragon Clan, the Fallen Angel Clan, the Demon Clan, the Spirit Clan, the Beast Clan... which one hasn't undergone at least millions of years of evolution?"

"You humans, a race with only 100,000 years of history, have developed to this point in such a short time, both in terms of technology and extraordinary potential. Don't you think that's unreasonable?"

"Oh right... there is indeed a race that evolves and develops even faster than you. That race is called the Demi-humans, right? They're a very young race, and they look quite similar to you humans. But that's not surprising, since they are life forms created by the gods..."

"..."

Still somewhat bewildered, Ye Ge asked, "You mean... the humans in this world are creatures created by the demon race???"

"You do have some cleverness after all." Ye Aotian didn't seem to care about Ye Ge's words "humans of this world": "Let me tell you the truth of history."

"Millions of years ago, during the Second War of All Races, gods, demons, ferocious beasts, and sacred beasts were roughly equal in strength. But in reality, only the ancient demon race could truly contend with the gods head-on."

"In the later stages of the war, after a crucial battle, the gods gradually revealed their overwhelming power over other races, including our demon race, which gradually began to crumble under the gods' offensive."

"The demons knew their fate was sealed, so they planned to leave a last resort before their complete defeat. It was a secret trump card, meant to allow them to take revenge on the gods in the future, even if that 'future' was tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years from now!"

Ye Aotian smiled and said, "You should be able to guess this foreshadowing—that's right, it's about humans."

Night Song: "..."

"The ancient demon race's technology was already quite advanced. Our demon scientists, through gene editing technology, intend to create a race whose bloodline is highly compatible with our demonic lineage. As long as we demons interbreed with this race and have offspring, all the potential within us can be unleashed! Including even the power of the ancient demon gods from the beginning of chaos!"

Ye Aotian's expression involuntarily turned serious as he continued, "At the time, this research was actually progressing very smoothly. We had almost simulated the prototype of human cells and were attempting to cultivate the first experimental embryo. However, unfortunately..."

"Just as this embryonic race was about to be born..."

"The gods have descended..."
