Words : 1882 Updated : Oct 9th, 2025

"Have you ever heard the story behind my birth?" Zhang Xiaolong responded to the ten-tailed fox with a nod, especially since Hu Lili had told him about it. However, Oliver and the others looked confused about it, so Zefyr explained it to them. "I didn't expect that you were already in a relationship with those moon foxes, kid. Anyway, that woman is right that I was born to fulfill the wishes of all the fox races, and I was born specifically to save them from the oppression of humans as well as those stronger beasts. That's why I don't have my own ambitions, and I also can't care about other things. However, these natural races are different, and their ancestors were very close to me, so I decided to save them too. Since the fox races were free from oppression and my presence in this realm would endanger these natural races, I decided to divide myself into two, both of whom are the ancestors of the current heavenly foxes." Zhang Xiaolong released a soft sigh. "Who are the two ancestors of the heavenly fox race? Since you can leave your soul imprint in this place, you must know something about them, right?" "They are Tian Baitian and Tian Baixing, and they should still be alive now." The ten-tailed fox's answer made Zhang Xiaolong and the others raise their eyebrows. "Baitian is a male, and Baixing is a female. However, their characters are different from what I expected, especially since both of them inherited too many of my negative traits, and they will kill you if they find out about you. Therefore, I advise you not to go to the heavenly moon realm before you evolve to the nine-tails, or you will die in their hands because of their jealousy and greed, and this universe will never be able to find peace, especially since you are destined to be the bringer of peace for them." Zhang Xiaolong shook his head at the ten-tailed fox in response. "I am also very selfish, like you and the two ancestors of the heavenly fox race." That's why I can't care about this universe; I only care about the people in my circle, so I'm not interested in being the bringer of peace." Zhang Xiaolong's words made Oliver and the leaders of the natural races release heavy sighs within them, but none of them interrupted his conversation with the ten-tailed fox. Experience new stories on empire The ten-tailed fox smiled at Zhang Xiaolong's words. "You remind me of my old self, because I also don't care about the fate of other living beings; I only care about the fate of the fox races. However, my meeting with the ancestors of these natural races changed several things in me, and I started to open up to them. You may still think that way now, but you will probably meet someone important, and you will probably change someday in the future." "Is that one of the visions you had in the past?" The ten-tailed fox did not say anything to agree with or refute Zhang Xiaolong. "Sigh! You are right; I am still like this now, but I myself do not know about my future, so I will leave everything to time and fate, and I might change one day, like you said just now." "Kid, you must always remember that there is a great responsibility behind your power, and I have always believed in my vision, so I also believe that you will succeed in bringing peace to this universe." The ten-tailed fox suddenly touched Zhan Xiaolong's forehead with one of its tails. "My time is running out, especially since I implanted this soul imprint in this statue after I exhausted my power. Even so, I can still help you with something, and you will be thrilled with my gift. Oh, anyway, I forgot something; you can only evolve to ten-tails by going to the heavenly moon realm, and you must obtain the hearts of both of my descendants." Before Zhang Xiaolong could ask, a bright white aura suddenly enveloped the ten-tailed fox's body, dazzling him and the others. However, it only lasted a few seconds, and the white aura immediately disappeared, as did the ten-tailed fox's soul imprint. [Ding] [The host gains a small portion of the ten-tailed fox's soul power.] [Ding] [The host soul level increases to the early stage of the soul foundation level.] *Crack... Crack...* The cracking sound shocked the leaders of the natural races, and they were even more shocked to see the ten-tailed fox's statue crumble to pieces, including the monument below it. Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaolong stood frozen in his spot, and his expression looked shocked as he thought about the last sentence of the ten-tailed fox. 'That means I have to kill both of the heavenly fox race's ancestors in order to evolve into the ten-tails, right, Mei?' [Yes, Master.] Mei herself was also shocked by the revelation of the ten-tailed fox, and she never imagined that her master would need such conditions in order for him to evolve into the ten tails. [Anyway, you don't need to think about that right now, especially since they live in the upper realms and are too powerful for the current you, so it would be much better if you focused on everything in front of you, master.] 'Yeah, you're right; I have to take it one step at a time.' Zhang Xiaolong then turned his attention to Oliver and the others, who were still in a daze following the destruction of the ten-tailed fox's statue, causing him to smile bitterly. "It looks like you have to rebuild both of them." "No need." Oliver replied while standing up, as did Elmyra and the others. "We are now certain that you are the ten-tailed fox's successor, and since part of its soul has merged with yours, we no longer need its statue. "This way, you are the leader of our natural races." Zhang Xiaolong turned to Elmyra with a raised eyebrow, so she immediately provided an explanation to him. "As the ten-tailed fox told you just now, it saved our races from extinction because humans kept hunting us in the past. Since then, our ancestors have sworn that the ten-tailed fox's successor will be our leader, and you are its successor, so you are our leaders now." "I can attest to the truth of Elmyra's words." Sabina said before moving in front of Zhang Xiaolong, and she immediately touched his forehead, sharing quite a lot of her memories, which she inherited from her ancestors. "You can see everything yourself, so you will know that her words are true." Zhang Xiaolong first looked at Sabina's memories, and he didn't expect that they were memories from such a distant past, where her ancestors, as well as the other ancestors of the natural races, swore allegiance to the ten-tailed fox. "All right, I believe that. However, I have no interest in becoming a leader, so I will not accept it. Instead, all of you will be my family, like Zefyr. Wouldn't that be better for all of us?" "Hahaha." Zefyr suddenly laughed, floated towards Zhang Xiaolong, and sat on his shoulder as usual. "Grandpas! Aunts! He's always been like this, and he doesn't like that kind of thing. Usually, his women, like Liu Hua and Shen Xueyi, take care of things for him. Moreover, I don't think it's a big deal whether he becomes our leader or our family; you guys can still help him, so you guys should just accept his decision." Oliver and the others exchange glances for a moment before nodding to each other. "You're right, Zefyr. No matter what our relationship is, we will continue to support Zhang Fei, so it's not a problem for us." Zhang Xiaolong then spoke to them. "Actually, I still want to talk to all of you, but I think we can do it another time, especially since I don't have much time right now due to those heretics constant movements. Moreover, their ancestors will probably come out soon, so I want to focus on increasing my strength, and I'll do seclusion in another region while keeping an eye on them. Name: Tian Gongzhu Age: 500+ years old Gender: Female Race: Heavenly Fox Rank: Divine Beast Cultivation: 7-Star Heaven Realm Element: Light [Intermediate level] Core: Middle-Rank Light Core Physique: Fox Physique Strong: Light Weak: Darkness === Zhang Xiaolong's expression turned serious after he read their status. 'Their cultivation is in the heaven realm, huh? Since my bloodline will be useless against them, and their light elements might also counteract my demon abilities, I have to be very careful of them. Otherwise, they will capture me, and if they bring me into their realm, my situation will worsen.' Zhang Xiaolong once again contacted Liu Qingyu, and he asked her to bring Zhang Chen and the others to the Chu Clan, especially since the two heavenly foxes' cultivation was only at the Heaven Realm and the formation in the clan should be able to withstand their attacks. In addition, he also asked her to order the members of the demon fox group to spread other news about him, and he hoped that the two of them would leave the western region immediately after hearing it. [Are you really going to lure them to the northern region, master?] 'Yes.' Zhang Fei answered Mei with a nod. 'The demons possessing Mo Xuanqing will probably be aware of their presence in that region, so she can help me get rid of them. Even so, I cannot let Tian Gongzhu die, especially since she will be useful to me, so you must keep an eye on them.' [Yes, leave them to me, and I will keep an eye on them.] . . . A while later, Zhang Xiaolong had already arrived at his hideout in the Northern Region, and he immediately sat down cross-legged in his usual spot. 'Mei, how much female essence do I need to upgrade my demon body double to levels four and five?' [Master, you need three hundred thousand female essences to upgrade to level four, and you have more than four hundred thousand now, so you can upgrade it if you want. For level five, you need one million female essences, so it will take a very long time.] Hearing that, Zhang Xiaolong immediately made a decision. "I want you to upgrade it now, so he can focus on cultivating in the training space. Besides, I can use my fourth clone to learn a lot of things, so my fighting ability can be further improved.' [Alrighty.] {The demon body double has upgraded to level four.} {300,000 female essences have been deducted from your balance.} - To Be Continued - === My other novels 1. Cultivator With Modern AI 2.
