章 3: Ancestral System, Resurrected from Death
[Ding! The host has gained recognition from the descendants, activating the Ancestral System. Rewarding a novice gift package, would you like to open it?]
Suddenly, a clear but emotionless voice echoed in Mo Fan's mind, and an illusory interface appeared before him.
A red gift box materialized in front of him, with the words 'Yes' and 'No' on each side.
'System?'
Mo Fan was a web novelist who had written stories involving systems, so he was familiar with the concept. He nodded immediately, "Yes."
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for opening the novice gift package. You have obtained a divine-grade item: Resurrection Talisman.]
[Resurrection Talisman: It can guide the soul of a deceased person, who has died within an hour, back into their own body, reviving them and healing all injuries.]
'Great item!' Mo Fan sighed inwardly, but unfortunately, it could only revive someone who had just died. He had been dead for hundreds of years, and he didn't even know where his body was. It seemed he couldn't use it for himself.
[Ding! The host has triggered a mission: Save the family. The host's 17th-generation descendant, Mo Qingkuang, has died. The family is in turmoil, and if not stopped, the Mo family will surely be cut off. The host will be obliterated. Mission reward: Divine-tier cultivation technique, 'Wind and Fallen Leaves Technique.']
'Damn it! I'm the writer of this book, and now you want to obliterate me? I didn't even set up a plot! Is fate playing with me?'
'Alright, this Resurrection Talisman can only be used for that kid Mo Qingkuang.'
"Kid, I'm bringing you back to life. Can you help your father?" Mo Fan spoke.
Mo Qingkuang looked at Mo Fan in shock. Could this guy really bring him back to life?
Regardless of whether it's true or not, he has to give it a try!
"Ancestor, if you can bring me back to life, they naturally won't have a reason to threaten my father. As long as I'm here, the younger generation of the Mo family won't dare to act recklessly!" As long as he could come back to life, he would not waste this chance that his ancestor gave him.
"Good, remember this. When you come back to life, don't reveal my existence to anyone. Otherwise, if I can save you, then I can also obliterate you!" Mo Fan's gaze turned cold. His existence was already a loophole in the world's providence. If someone with ill intentions found out, who knows if there might be ways to harm the soul?
"Ancestor, rest assured, I dare not reveal your existence!" Mo Qingkuang quickly said. There's hope! He immediately thought.
Mo Fan nodded, took out the Resurrection Talisman, and with a wave of his hand, the talisman emitted colourful light, entering Mo Qingkuang's forehead.
Mo Qingkuang felt a strong sensation of weightlessness. The body on the bed seemed to have an irresistibly powerful suction force, pulling his soul downward.
He couldn't even struggle, and his soul was pulled back into the familiar body.
As the indiscernible coloured light gradually subsided into Mo Qingkuang's body, the battered meridians within were repaired, the burn marks on the body caused by Lin Yang's Fire Attribute True Essence quickly healed, and the pale face gradually regained its rosy colour.
Mo Qingkuang could feel a powerful force gradually reassembling from the limbs and bones of his body, coming back under his control.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes. Mo Qingkuang, who had been dead for quite some time, unexpectedly sat up from the bed.
Mo Qingkuang looked around in confusion, then pinched his own tender and delicate forearm.
A sharp stinging pain made his brows furrow, followed by a relaxing sensation.
'It's not a dream! I really came back to life!'
***
"Sigh, this young master couldn't win the fight and even resorted to forbidden drugs. In the end, he still lost to that Lin Yang. Really..." In the courtyard, an elder sighed while watching the desolate figure of Mo Shan.
"Humph, with a crooked heart, he was always causing trouble everywhere. This child is not a blessing to our Mo family!" Another elder coldly snorted.
"Feng'er, come here, meet the elders." Mo Hai was very pleased and called over the eager Mo Qingfeng to greet the elders.
"The junior, Mo Qingfeng, pays respects to the elders." Mo Qingfeng walked out from the corner with an excited face and bowed to the elders.
Mo Qingfeng had always been suppressed under Mo Qingkuang. He found Mo Qingkuang's arrogance and domineering behaviour displeasing, but due to Mo Qingkuang's superior strength and his father Mo Hai not holding the same status as Mo Shan, he had to keep his pride hidden and not provoke Mo Qingkuang.
In his heart, he not only envied Mo Qingkuang's high status but also harboured deep resentment toward him.
Fortunately, fate played its part, and with Mo Qingkuang's death, Mo Qingfeng finally had the opportunity to lead the younger generation of the Mo family and even aspire to become the family head in the future!
How could he not feel excited and pleased in his heart?
The entourage who used to accompany Mo Qingkuang in activities such as walking dogs and bullying the weak quickly showed their loyalty to the new young master.
In the past, when following Mo Qingkuang, they hadn't spared Mo Qingfeng from their mistreatment. Mo Qingfeng had endured it all, not daring to provoke Mo Qingkuang.
Now, with the new position of the junior family head, they were afraid that Mo Qingfeng might seek revenge for past grievances.
They immediately spoke up:
"Respects to the young family head!"
"Respects to the young family head!"
The elders followed suit, bowing respectfully, "The young family head need not be overly polite."
***
Mo Qingfeng felt so relieved! So, this was the treatment that Mo Qingkuang had received in the past? Today, finally, it was Mo Qingfeng's turn!
With a smile on his face, he tried to restrain the overwhelming joy in his heart and humbly said, "Oh, no, please, brothers and elders, I hope everyone supports me in the future."
"Of course, of course..."
"The young family head is a young and talented individual with excellent character. In the future, he will surely lead our Mo family to the glory of our ancestors!"
The courtyard was filled with joy and harmony as if the Mo family had encountered a great blessing. They completely forgot that their previous young family head, the most talented individual in Tiannan City, Mo Qingkuang, had just died on his sickbed.
Hearing the commotion behind him, Mo Shan's steps paused for a moment, but he didn't turn around. Silently, he walked towards the exit.
With his only son dead, he had long been as lifeless as ashes. Power and wealth no longer mattered. As long as he could avenge his son, what did the position of family head or even this half-dead life matter to him?
At this moment, a maid rushed out of Mo Qingkuang's room, shouting excitedly, "Family Head! Family Head! Young Master has awakened!"
The maid's words were like a powerful silence spell, abruptly halting all conversations in the courtyard, plunging it into a deathly silence.
All eyes turned anxiously towards the room.
Mo Shan, who had just stepped out of the courtyard, sharply turned his head. The abrupt twist of his body made his neck emit a harsh cracking sound, but he remained oblivious.
"What did you say?"
"Family Head, Young Master has awakened!" The maid repeated herself.
After a long pause, Mo Qingfeng, who had just been promoted to the new Young Family Head, couldn't bear the shock of this sudden reversal. He erupted in anger, "Are you insane? Just now, the Family Head himself confirmed that Brother Qingkuang has unfortunately passed away! What nonsense are you spouting? Guards, take this crazy woman away!"
