Chapter 841: Chapter 835 This is really a waste (Part 1)

“The founder of the Lewis Family, in other words, the Prince who initially established the entire Galactic Federation—you are his reincarnation,” Ethan Wren stated emphatically.@@novelbin@@

“How do you know that?” Finn Lewis asked with a mix of surprise and suspicion.

“It’s quite simple. You have many direct descendants, and you also have many offspring, but to be honest, I have found the reincarnations of your inheritors before. But they simply can’t inherit your family’s direct line. Not considering the direct lineage, but among those, none would carry this.” Ethan Wren pointed to the two interwoven Five-Clawed Golden Dragons on Finn Lewis’s wrist, which were surrounded by nine golden stars—the family totem.

“Likewise, I do not have it, even though I am the direct heir to the Wren Clan and its Patriarch. But I do not have this mark, because I am not the reincarnation of the first Patriarch of the Wren Family,” added Ethan Wren.

Finn Lewis was somewhat astonished. He hadn’t expected such secrets to exist, but then again, whatever the truth was, it didn’t affect him. Because Finn Lewis was just Finn Lewis, regardless of whose reincarnation he supposedly was.

Finn Lewis didn’t possess that person’s thoughts. Who cares whose reincarnation he might be? It wasn’t important.

“I’m not sure why the Rochefort Clan has set its sights on your ancestral lands, but Your Highness, there are many secrets on the land of your family. Perhaps we’re unaware of them, but there is definitely a significant secret hidden there. This territory of yours is where your family started, and it was from here that you set out and eventually established the Galactic Federation,” Ethan Wren said, looking out the porthole into the darkness with a hint of emotion.

“Wait a moment, the Galactic Federation is quite ancient, isn’t it?” Finn Lewis interrupted Ethan Wren to ask.

“Yes, at least several million years have passed since the inception of the Federation up to now,” Ethan Wren replied honestly.

“But based on what I know, even including prehistoric man, Earth’s history seems to fall short of a million years, right?” Finn Lewis asked, a bit taken aback.

“Heh, Your Highness, just like you previously knew that humans existed only on Earth, in reality, haven’t humans already spread throughout the Heritage System?” Ethan Wren said with a smile.

Finn Lewis was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head. That’s true, but isn’t this a bit too much? Holy shit, does that mean the history of humanity isn’t at all what we now think it is?

“The planet within your family’s territory, I know, is now called Earth, right? It has undergone at least three massive extinctions, and much of its history is not entirely accurate, because many historical artifacts that help in ascertaining history can be altered. Even geological strata can lie. Oh right, Your Highness, after you arrived in the Heritage System, has anyone told you that humanity did not originate from Earth?” Ethan Wren asked.

“Yes,” Finn Lewis nodded. He didn’t learn about this after leaving Earth; he had known it even before his departure.

“Actually, this is not exactly accurate. Humanity still originates from Earth,” Ethan Wren considered for a moment, then revealed with a smile.

“Alright, I’m confused now,” Finn Lewis said somewhat exasperatedly, massaging his forehead with a headache.

“Actually, there’s nothing to be confused about. I’m not very clear on the specifics of human origins, but what I do know is that during that dark age, humanity developed to the interstellar era, then left Earth to begin exploring the unfamiliar Heritage System. As exploration began, human technology continuously advanced. Yet, more and more humans got lost in the Heritage System, gradually leaving their mark in various places,” Ethan Wren said, his eyes growing deep as if recalling something.

“After that, as human technology reached a certain level, the significantly damaged Earth environment became less and less important. Gradually, humans completely abandoned that planet, followed by a great extinction. Afterwards, life re-emerged on its surface stubbornly, and once again began to proliferate,” Ethan Wren said softly.

Finn Lewis was taken aback, yet Ethan Wren’s words made him think of human development at present. If it weren’t for the Galactic Federation, based on the current pace of progress, it seemed similar to what Ethan Wren was describing. Continuing this way, by the time humanity was powerful enough to leave the Heritage System, Earth’s environment would likely be on the verge of abandonment.

“In fact, humans still originate from Earth. It’s just that it’s not the Earth’s humanity you understand now. That era is very ancient, so ancient that few in the entire Heritage System know this,” Ethan Wren said, shaking his head slightly.

“Okay, I understand. But to be honest, old Clan Leader, this is not very useful to me. No matter where humanity originated from, I can’t influence these matters now. What I can do at present is to ensure my own survival,” Finn Lewis said with a wry smile.

“Heh, no, Your Highness, you’ve already done quite well. However, I came here because there is another matter I need to inform you about,” Ethan Wren said thoughtfully before speaking seriously.

“Go on,” Finn Lewis also nodded.

At this moment, only Finn Lewis and Ethan Wren were in the room, with no one else present. Those from the Wren Family who followed Ethan Wren were waiting elsewhere, and Finn Lewis’s people were doing the same.

“This is a phrase that has been passed down through generations in the Wren Family. It’s said to originate from the oldest times, from your previous life. The message is actually quite simple: it warns you to beware of threats from beyond the Heritage System,” Ethan Wren said earnestly.

Beyond the Heritage System? Finn Lewis was taken aback. He was genuinely surprised, as it seemed that the entire Galactic Federation had not ventured beyond the Heritage System. How then was this known? If this message was truly passed down from that ancient era, it would mean that it has a terrifying history.

And the technology from that time was certainly not as advanced as the current Galactic Federation, so how was this information obtained? Of course, it was apparent that Ethan Wren might not be clear on how this was known either, otherwise he would have conveyed more than just a sentence to Finn Lewis.

“Alright, old Clan Leader, you should probably tell this to the Oversight Bureau,” Finn Lewis said with a bitter smile.
