Chapter 25: The Vast Ye Family

  After sorting out all the things, Ye Lin cast his eyes on the Wanxiang Grand Hall.

  Or more accurately, he was focusing all his attention on the countless seats inside the Grand Hall of All Living Things.

  This is a temple exclusive to the Ye family, and each seat represents a successor of the Ye family bloodline.

  However, although they represent every member of the Ye family with the same bloodline, they also represent being a disciple of the Ye family. However, these Ye family disciples have an empty shrine without any idols enshrined.

  "It seems that in order for these gods' seats to be filled with statues of themselves, they must take me as their ancestor and formally acknowledge their heritage!"

  "This is the Temple of All Spirits, which is exclusive to the Ye Lin family. To fill the temple with divine statues, one must formally acknowledge their ancestors and be recognized by the temple after becoming a member of the Ye family. In other words, having the bloodline is not enough; you also need to be acknowledged by the Ye clan to truly take your seat among the gods."

  Now that Ye Lin has received the ancestral bloodline, he represents the entire Ye clan and is recognized by the Temple of Gods, which means he has been recognized by Ye Lin himself.

  There is often talk of driving people out of the family, which means driving you down from the altar of the ancestral temple, but what people generally don't know is that in the unknown, there really is such a temple, a temple dedicated to the gods of the entire bloodline.

  And Ye Lin is now summoning this temple from nothingness, directly suppressing it in his own Purple Mansion World, and he has also taken in the Nascent Soul, making himself an official pioneer of the Ye Clan's bloodline inheritance.

  However, when Ye Lin really went to see the gods' seats, he was suddenly startled by the number of gods' seats he saw.

  Ye Lin's eyes widened in shock as he stared at the rows of ancestral tablets, exclaiming: "130 billion? How can there be so many?"

  Because this is the Zi Fu world he opened up, everything in this world, as long as his mind scans over it, everything is within his understanding. Although the divine position gazes out at the endless expanse, he still quickly arrived at an accurate number.

  But it was this number that actually gave him a fright.

  One hundred and thirty billion, what a staggering number?

  Even if the world is vast and boundless, until now no one knows where its boundaries are. However, in this boundless world, there may be only a hundred billion human beings after all. After all, in this world, humans are just a very small part of it, and the larger part is made up of those strange beasts left over from the primordial gods.

  However, out of a population of 1 billion, the Ye family occupied 130 million?

  No, this is impossible. Even if the Ye family was an extremely ancient and powerful family, it would not be possible for one family to occupy one percent of the entire human race.

  Like the Ye family of Yunshui City, in this world, it can also be considered a large family, but the entire Yunshui City Ye family has only about 300,000 to 400,000 people, not even enough to make up one hundred and thirty billionth of a single digit.

  But even for a family like the Yunshui City Ye family, if Ye Lin wants to truly take control of it and have complete control over it without any special means, it is absolutely impossible, let alone the entire Ye clan with 130 billion people.

  "What's going on here?"

  To make all members of the Ye family acknowledge their ancestors and return to their roots, Ye Lin must personally go and win them over one by one.

  Recognizing one's ancestors is also a matter of mutual consent, it's impossible to say that you just utter a word here, I am your ancestor, you should recognize me as your ancestor and join my clan, others will believe you, this is fundamentally impossible.

  If others want to recognize their ancestors and return to their roots, they must get Ye Lin's consent. Similarly, if Ye Lin wants others to recognize their ancestors and return to their roots, he must also get their consent.

  However, 130 billion is too large a number. If Ye Lin were to subdue them one by one, even if we don't talk about the difficulties in between, just the sheer scale of the number shows that there's basically no possibility of completing this task successfully!

  The most important thing is that among these 130 billion, the vast majority are definitely not in this world. How can he conquer them?

  However, to open the Xian realm and create the supreme Xian tribe, it must include all the descendants of the Ye family bloodline. If not, and the entire Ye family's bloodline does not acknowledge their ancestors and return to their roots, then Ye Lin's dream of creating a supreme Xian tribe will forever remain just a dream, with no signs of awakening.

  "No, I should change my mind. If I can integrate all the 1.3 billion people of the Ye family together, then under such a huge base, the strength of our Ye family must be invincible."

  Clans, unlike families, refer to those who share the same blood lineage. A clan can produce countless families, but a family is different and must be centered around the home, with the premise being a collective unit formed around the home.

  In short, the Ye clan is many times more powerful than the Ye family.

  Similarly, among the clans, there are countless ranks, and those with higher ranks have even higher divine positions. For example, now, above the Temple of Ten Thousand Images, Ye Lin's statue sits high above the temple, occupying the first rank of the entire Ye clan, which is the position of the patriarch of the Ye clan, supreme and unmatched.

  It was because he pioneered the Xianjing, summoned the Wanxiang Temple to appear, and incorporated the ancestral bloodline into his body, that he became the one and only master of the clan.

  Under the Ye Lin, there are ten elder positions of the Ye family. The ten elders are the core of power in the entire Ye family clan. Generally, as the head of the clan, Ye Lin would not stay within the clan and handle major clan affairs. At that time, the ten elder positions would take charge, with the leftmost position being the Grand Elder of the clan, ranking only below Ye Lin and above the other nine elders by half a rank.

  Under the ten senior elders, there are one hundred deacons, also known as deacon elders. They are a group of people who specialize in helping the ten senior elders handle major family matters. When Ye Lin is not around, they have full authority to assist the ten senior elders in handling all major family affairs.

  Below the hundred officials is the position of the thousand guardians, who control the entire clan's million-strong guardian corps, protecting the clan or helping the clan deal with external matters.

  And after the thousand guardians, it is the position of Wanxiang God. The entire clan cannot be just one part of the clan, and there must be many people from the clan who have been divided out to form families in other places. According to what is said on the True Dragon Skin, if you want to truly open up the immortal realm, you must make the Purple Mansion world complete with all things. Therefore, the entire clan will inevitably divide into 10,000 families and disperse to various places to jointly establish the Wanxiang Great Clan.

  Above, that is the highest level of the entire clan, they will control the operation of the entire clan. Similarly, his divine position is higher than all people, naturally, they can enjoy the power of blood nourishment, and among them, Ye Lin is the most.

  It's like this, the more people in a clan, the more benefits the higher-ups get. Now, there are 130 billion descendants of the Ye clan, such a huge foundation, if Ye Lin really subjugates them all, then under this massive base, Ye Lin's bloodline will naturally be elevated the fastest, and it will be easy to achieve the supreme Nine-Colored Immortal Blood.

  Purple blood is sixty-four times faster than red blood to cultivate. Bronze divine blood is ten times that of purple blood, and white silver divine blood is ten times that of bronze divine blood. Golden divine blood is a hundred times that of bronze divine blood. Naturally, the Nine-Colored Immortal Blood is even more noble than the Golden Divine Blood, and its cultivation speed is at least ten thousand times that of the Golden Divine Blood.

  It can be imagined that after Ye Lin Zheng truly obtained the Nine-Colored Immortal Blood, his cultivation speed would be how fast?

  Of course, as a clan, its composition is not just these high-ranking members. Its lower ranks must also have countless disciples.

  Similarly, behind the Wanxiang shrine is the part belonging to the clan disciples, and the clan disciples are also divided into many levels, such as true transmission, core, inner door, outer door, etc.

  So, a clan is better if it's bigger, the more people in the clan, the stronger the power of the clan's bloodline will be.

  "A clan is about inheritance, a vital energy, this kind of power that can nourish the clan's bloodline, naturally similar to it, and also a kind of destiny's power."

  For this power, Ye Lin got a clear statement on the True Dragon Skin, saying that it was a kind of Qi operation power, however, it was a Qi operation power connected with blood veins.

  "Hmm, it's always difficult at the beginning, but as long as I can truly subdue the entire Ye family clan, by then, won't my strength directly skyrocket?"

  Thinking of so many benefits, the courage that was once intimidated by the number 130 billion has returned again.

  Suddenly, he tilted his head and thought for a moment, nodding: "That's right, why don't I use the power of blood to convey a message to all the disciples of the Ye family now?"

  At this thought, Ye Lin's eyes were fixed, and a piece of information was transmitted from his blood vessels to the universe.

  "I am the ancestor of the Ye family, now I hope that all my descendants will set up an altar at noon tomorrow, establish their ancestral position, and formally recognize their ancestors and return to the Ye family clan."

  Actually, every family, at the time of the ancestral meeting, would set up an altar to worship their ancestors. However, due to the long passage of time, many people do not even know where their own bloodline comes from. Naturally, what they write on the altar is simply "Ye's Ancestor Altar". The Ye family has been passed down for countless generations, and there are countless Ye ancestors. Therefore, in order to establish the Ye family clan, Ye Lin must give a name to the first generation of ancestors.

  The Ye family's ancestral name was actually a title given by Ye Lin.

  Ugh, I got up at 8 or 9 and wanted to write a couple more chapters. As a result, it took me the whole morning to finish one chapter, just as I was about to save it, my computer froze and I couldn't do anything. After restarting, I found that everything had been reset to zero! Oh my god, what a coincidence! I give up. Okay, I'll update another chapter tonight!
