Kapitel 126: Ancestors

"We'll guarantee complete success!"

Yosef was glad to hear that. He wiped away the dust on his face and nodded. "Patriarch, Moon will be proud to have you!"

Himmel Soan gave him a stern look. Yosef was scared and took a step back. He realized he had said the wrong thing. He wondered if Himmel Soan would scold him. But that didn't happen.

Himmel Soan sighed and looked up at the sky through the glass ceiling. Despite his young face, his eyes looked old.

"I share the same ancestors with the other Moonians. I'm a descendant of the two ancient emperors, and I'm proud to be one."

Yosef asked, "Patriarch, I have a question. I hope it won't offend you."

"Go ahead."

"How old are you?"

"I don't remember."

Himmel Soan's eyes looked as old as the universe itself. Looking into them, one would think they could see all the stars.

"One million years? Two million years? I've lost count!"

Yosef's mouth fell open.
