My Descendants Are My Power

Blackwood is unlike any other family. While others develop their clans and then slowly expand their territories, Blackwood has forged ahead through fierce battles and accumulated wealth before returning to build their domain.

Although the blueprint is ambitious, Blackwood definitely has the capital to back it up!

Nathan has nearly filled the Death Coffin with zombies, which are tireless and serve as the perfect workforce.

Watching the family develop in an orderly fashion, the descendants also refrained from causing trouble.

Ethan relaxed for a moment.

"My back and waist are killing me."

After stretching, Ethan stepped outside his room and asked Lisa to cook him a lavish seafood stew and steam some white rice.

An hour later, he returned to the family.

The game's landscape developed rapidly.

The terrain outside Blackwood, previously marred by war, was now being flattened by Psychics, all of whom were busy building, establishing Blackwood's stronghold.

Suddenly.

The screen filled with flowers, shifting to Blackwood's residence!

...

[Blackwood Year 123]

[Your descendants Edward and Betty are married!]

[Your descendants Nicholas and Helen are married!]

[Congratulations, you have received a Spiritual Tribute value of +30]

Descendants marrying is always a joy for the elders, especially when they approve of the match.

Helen is undoubtedly the best partner for Nicholas.

Betty, though from Duke's Mansion, is very well-behaved. Despite her noble birth, she hasn't been spoiled by wealth. Joseph has always been indifferent to fame and fortune, probably inheriting his mother's temperament.

"Ha ha ha, excellent!"

Nathan and Ethan were both delighted.

Ethan watched as two pairs of newlyweds entered their bridal chambers in the night.

The next day.

As soon as the rooster crowed, Nathan eagerly gathered the children at the Forebearer Shrine, holding many Energy Stones engraved with "Dual Cultivation Techniques," and said solemnly, "Kids, the Forebearer showed his powers last time, bringing us these secret manuals. From now on, no one is escaping; it's time to seriously start expanding our family!"

"Those of you who aren't married yet, how old are you?"

"And you guys!"

Nathan pointed at Marcus, Daniel, George, William, Justin, and others, laughing scornfully.

"Do you know what it means to be a real man? A real man has a family."

"Lucas was only fifteen when he got a girl in trouble!"

Lucas, who had been enjoying the scene with a smile, gradually turned pale.

Julian, seeing the humor in the situation, nudged his older brother, "Big brother, dad is making fun of you..."

"You need to be shameless like Julian and his children to strengthen our family!"

Julian's smile slowly faded.

Watching these two, Ethan crossed his arms in front of the screen, "Nathan is absolutely right. They need to understand, learn, and get married!"

"Have plenty of children to grow our family!"

Ethan was already looking forward to the day when their efforts to expand the family would bear fruit.

On the screen, Nathan snorted, "As a man, you need to have a family! I'm from Gratitude Village, and do you know what they used to say about bachelors there? They'd say this person is busy all day long, so busy that in the end, he doesn't even have a wife, only his own hand to keep him company!"

"Not having a wife, don't you think your life would feel incomplete?"

"..."

"Bang!"

Ethan, with a stoic expression, clenched his fist and slammed it down on the table fiercely.

On this day, the children of Blackwood were as incredulous as Nathan had been when he first received the secret technique.

They stared in disbelief at the serious Nathan, then glanced at the Forebearer Psychic Position and the fourth generation's wild children, suddenly feeling that their lack of seriousness wasn't without reason.

The happiest were those with wives; they treated the dual cultivation techniques like treasures.

Jeffrey watched the images emanating from the Energy Stone, growing more spirited and joyful by the moment.

"Sigh."

Ethan exhaled deeply, switching the display. Although he knew Nathan wasn't scolding him, he felt implied criticism.

He decided to check on his family's progress.

It had been just over a year.

Yet, to the west of Blackwood, there was a massive cave, continuously emitting steam and smoke.

[Seventh Rank Forge Pavilion]

[Established by Julian, with equipment masters gathered from various forces, it burrows three thousand meters underground, emulating the Thunderfire Demon Cave, drawing magma through magical techniques.]

[The pavilion's members hail from major forces, totaling 285 people.]

[Possessing resources...]

This time, Ethan took a closer look at Julian's psychic puppet.

[Your descendant Julian has mastered the craft of creating Eighth Rank psychic puppets.]

[Eighth Rank Psychic Puppet: Composed of flying zombies and shape-shifting ability weapons with Storage Ring technology, capable of understanding simple commands, instantly transforming into steel psychic puppets up to five meters tall.]

...

[Julian has become a master of Seventh Rank psychic puppets!]

[Seventh Rank Psychic Puppet: Created from Developing Skill psychic powers, requiring a large amount of seventh rank materials... using demonic cultivation methods, with Psychic flesh and soul forged into the psychic puppet... integrating Psychic flesh with materials seamlessly...]

Seeing Julian's method for crafting Seventh Rank psychic puppets, Ethan suddenly remembered his time on the battlefield.

His Seventh Rank psychic puppets could now fly, and their most significant feature was that their entire bodies were weapons, with steel that could stretch like liquid. Their decent recovery abilities also allowed them to compete with Developing Skill.

[Your descendant Julian is attempting to integrate the elemental forces of metal, wood, fire, water, and earth, as well as the energies of wind, fire, thunder, and lightning into the psychic puppets, to harness psychic powers beyond the physical body.]

[Requirements: Developing Skill, ability materials containing the forces of nature.]

"Hiss~"

Ethan gasped in awe. If Julian's idea succeeded, the Seventh Rank psychic puppets could wield psychic powers, potentially surpassing real Developing Skill Psychics.

And now, Julian had begun to share the techniques for Ninth Rank psychic puppets with the equipment masters.

A new method of cultivating psychic powers was spreading within the game world.

Given enough time, Blackwood's psychic puppets could sweep through the ancient Clark tribe!

Together with Ethan's contributions and the war AI Bionic Robot, fully equipped with weapons, Julian now possessed three Seventh Rank psychic puppets, rivaling a Developing Skill family with thousands of years of history.

However, Ethan also noted that constructing a Seventh Rank psychic puppet was not easy; merging the psychic soul with materials alone required ten years.

"If Julian's idea really works, his crafted psychic puppets will indeed surpass the craftsmanship of basic war AI Bionic Robots."

After a moment of reflection.

Ethan then shifted his gaze elsewhere, noting Blackwood's growing strength in a short time.

The Primordial Blood Tree, nourished by the blood of Competent Forces, now stood only ten meters tall, but the people of Gratitude Village knew that in times of war, it could grow to a hundred meters. And it was still growing, its roots spreading rapidly in all directions.

But as members returned, Ethan's event log filled with more news about the Primordial Blood Tree.

[The Primordial Blood Tree reports to you that Julian has come out of the forge pavilion and urinated under it again, requesting that you discipline Julian.]

[The third generation of Blackwood urinating around it... it's furious...]
