《System of Gods and Devils》Chapter 24: Because of me?

"Kanna. What is Spiritual Mental Arts?" Roger Dream asked.
"It is not Spiritual Mental Arts. It is called Spiritual Soul Arts," said Kanna.
"Roger. You should be careful. Looks like the Demi-Humans got involved in this matter." she said worriedly.
"Demi-Humans? I don't understand?" he said.
"Roger. First, you should know that the Realms were in now are widely known as Human Realms. And the Demi-Humans live in Devil Domains. There are some people in the Upper Realm with the Bloods of True Gods and True Devils. Those people named themselves as Descendants of Gods. And also are the true rulers of the Upper Realm. The Upper God Realm is ruled by Humans possessing the blood of the gods and the Upper Devil Domains are ruled by Demi-Humans possessing the blood of Devils."
"In human Realms, people cultivate with their Dantians and specializes in Qi Essence cultivation, and in the Devil Domains the Demi-humans cultivate their souls and specializes in Spiritual Soul Arts. Their cultivation stages are also different from us."
"Your Grandfather might be thinking that he's got attacked by Supreme Sovereign Expert because of the Spiritual Attacks. Because only Supreme's can use mental attacks to injure a Sovereign expert without even moving their body. But the one attacked your Grandfather was a Soul Sovereign Expert. Because If he were a level higher then your Grandfather then your Grandpa would've been dead." said Kanna.
Jacob Dream then started narrating the whole story "It was a Special day at our clan, we been gathered for the yearly Annual Meet of our clan. It was the day the youths of the clan would show their talents in front of everyone to get recognition from the elders and boost their position in the clan. As everyone was busy watching the younger generation showing their talents, your Mom suddenly fainted putting us in shock. When the Healer of our clan checked her condition, he said that she got pregnant with you. Even though it was supposed to be good news but we were confused because this happens only to Mortals, but your Mom was already at Meridian Opening Stage. It was Strange as no one heard a cultivator getting fainted just for getting pregnant."

"As we were contemplating, the Sky suddenly turned dark as the thunderclouds shadowed the whole capital. Like divine punishment, Lightning started striking the city threating to destroy the whole capital. But the thing is the Lightning strangely avoided our clan. The aftermath of the thunderstorm was disastrous leaving most of the building into shambles, but no one died as it was marked as the Strangest Ever disaster in the history of the Great Xia Empire."
"Next day, the Imperial Advisor of the Imperial clan ordered for the gathering of the Sovereign Stage Expert. In the gathering, he announced that a rift in space was formed during the storm. And the rift was leading to an Ancient Ruin. So that the Emperor ordered for a search party to explore the Ruins. He asked for volunteers and promised that whoever finds any treasures can keep for themselves. Hearing the word treasures everyone was excited, So was I. And everyone accepted to do the quest."
"At the Ruins, we found Weapons, Pills, Spiritual Herbs but most of them were in ruined and rusty state making us disappointed. But some of them were preserved, and less than ten people were lucky enough to get their hands on it. Where the Ou clan bastards got their Heaven tier weapons. Only I was the one to get my hands on the pills. But they didn't know that I also found something else. But somehow they found out that I salvaged some Sovereign Ascension Pills from the Ruins. But they never knew that I got this mystery box, looked like the person who revealed to them never wanted them to know the secret about this mystery box.
That night I heard a voice of a mysterious Expert in my mind, asking me to hand over the box while threatening me saying that If I don't, he will spread the word of my possessing the Sovereign Ascension Pills.
"At first, I was ready to hand over the box to him because I don't want to put my family in danger. But after that strange thing happened. The box suddenly opened itself, and the map inside started glowing and flew itself straight to your Mother's room where she was resting. It flew itself landed on her belly. As I was not that fool, I knew everything that happened was connecting to you. I was afraid that after I handed over the box, it would lead it to your mother and you. So I kept the box to myself refusing to give it to him. You know what happened next. I've been running away since that day to protect the treasure and waiting to hand it over to you when you're ready.

But strangely the Supreme Expert only kept attacking me with Mental attacks and never shown himself in front of me. That's why I keep escaping until now."
Roger Dream hearing him shocked. He looked at his grandfather trying to say something, but no words came from his mouth. Everything that happened was because of him. His clan was killed, his parents were crippled, and his Grandfather was running like a fugitive for 14 years and living a life worse than a beggar. And that's all for him.
He looked at his Grandfather didn't know what to say. Tears started to fell from his eyes. He was feeling Guilty, and it pained his heart looking at his tattered clothes.
"Grandpa...... I'm sorry... Because of me, our clan members were massacred, my parents were crippled, and you were living this life." said Roger Dream while crying. He didn't know the last time he cried, but at this moment he couldn't control his tears.
Looking at his Grandson crying, Jacob Dream said "Stupid boy, still crying at this age. Protecting our family is our duty. And you don't need to worry about now as it surely will end one day."
"But, still our clan members were killed because of me!" he said looking at his grandfather with guilt.
The Oldman suddenly laughed loudly, "Hahaha..... Grandson, do you think I am stupid enough to leave them unprotected. I've been patriarch for more than 400 years thinking for the good of my clan. How would I do something like that." and said.
Looking at his grandson's confused expression, he said "Don't worry, Grandson. From the second I knew about the danger I started a backup plan. And I secretly bought criminal slaves from nearby Qin kingdom and replaced them in our clan member’s position. When they killed the slaves, our clan members were already escaped through the tunnels and spread to the neighboring kingdoms."
As Roger Dream was astonished at the intelligence of his grandpa, the Oldman said "Don't underestimate a clan with more than 1000 years of foundation. We have seen all-weather during these years. And even if our clan members were killed at that time, they still won't be able to wipe the Dreams as we already have roots spreading all over the continents as Spies, merchants, etc.," he said proudly looking at his grandson.
Roger Dream was astonished and feeling stupid for getting guilty at this moment. But at the same time, he also felt proud of his clan, just like his grandfather.
As they were happily chatting inside the cave, a silhouette can be seen within the range of 100 km near the cave seem searching for something. The shape felt like a woman with a voluptuous front making anyone drool at them just by looking, but her facial figure cannot be seen as she's been shaded by the darkness. She's been mumbling something to a talisman, If Roger Dream's Grandfather could hear this voice then he would definitely feel this voice familiar. As it was the same voice that threatened him to hand over the box.

This story was supposed to be a rewrite of my earlier book, Harry Potter and the Dark Phoenix but the plot ended up so different that I figured I’d just make a new book out of it. I might, at some point in the future, rewrite the earlier book with the earlier plot but that will have to wait for this one to finish. This is an AU so please keep that in mind. Constructive criticism is welcome, needless bashing is not.
