Finally, the fortieth year at Blackwood has arrived!

Apart from Marcus, everyone in Blackwood gathered at the ancestral hall.

Time flies; Nathan and his wife are nearly sixty but look middle-aged. The second generation has matured over the years.

The third generation, lined up from tallest to shortest, consists of five members. Their youthful vigor and naivety are evident, but they all gaze with reverence at the Forebearer\'s memorial Cards, knowing from childhood that the Forebearer, with supernatural powers, has watched over and protected all of Blackwood.

"Twenty years have flown by since I came here alone and took root!"

Nathan\'s eyes were red with emotion.

"It was the Forebearer who provided me the means to establish myself and gave Blackwood its land to thrive."

"We\'ve faced natural disasters and droughts, thieves have invaded our homes, but the Forebearer has repeatedly helped us descendants avoid calamity."

"In the past, the Gonzalez and Heath families looked down on us, calling us uncultured villagers of Blackwood, but it was the Forebearer who showed us that we, his descendants, are second to none."

"Now, Blackwood is flourishing."

"With my descendants, I come to pay respects to you, Forebearer!"

The people of Blackwood bowed repeatedly.

Ethan, too, was moved; it had been forty years in the game world, just a few days in the real world.

But it seemed he had also gradually invested his emotions in Blackwood.

[You Receive 100 Beast Blood Fruits!]

[You Receive 10 Portions of Black Jade Restorative Ointment.]

[You Receive 30 Portions of Golden Psychic Powder!]

[You Receive...]

[Would you like to retrieve them?]

Looking at the antique bronze furnace beside him.

Ethan didn\'t hesitate to choose \'Yes\'!

Soon.

The entire room was filled with Tribute Offerings from Blackwood.

These were exactly what Ethan wanted; he planned to sell all these items to acquire more Energy Stones. He was even ready to approach Andrew to buy the Demon King\'s Blood Elixir to enhance Blackwood\'s strength!

[At this Grand Ceremony, would you like to Divine Gift your descendants?]

Ethan didn\'t hesitate.

A dark stone appeared in his hand.

This jade stone contained all he had seen of the "Sky Codex" after he had just unlocked the restrictions on Marcus\'s techniques.

He hadn\'t learned the "Sky Codex" from Marcus because learning such a profound technique would have cost him no less than a hundred thousand Spiritual Tribute points. But merely copying it required no Spiritual Tribute points.

And this was his Divine Gift this time.

With the "Sky Codex," Blackwood would reach new heights!

[You Divine Gift the \'Sky Codex\' to Your Descendants!]

Moments later.

The Grand Ceremony concluded.

A jade stone appeared on the altar of the ancestral hall.

"The Forebearer has Divine Gifted!"

Nathan saw the jade stone, but instead of joy, there was guilt in his eyes. He quickly said to his children and grandchildren, "Quick, bring over the Direct Death Coffin to offer to the Forebearer!"

"Please, Forebearer, you must accept it. Otherwise, it\'s always you who has been contributing to the family, and we, your unworthy descendants, have nothing worthy of your regard. How can we bear this shame?"

Ethan scratched his head, touched by his descendants\' devotion but found the "Direct Death Coffin" they offered of no use to him. He wasn\'t one to pick fights; the coffin could cultivate psychic powers, sure, but it was less hassle just to copy those abilities directly from his descendants using Spiritual Tribute.

As for the "Corpse Driving Technique" from the coffin, he could replicate that too. But using such techniques in reality? No way. He wouldn\'t dare; the National Crisis Management Bureau would be knocking on his door if he started messing with corpses.

"Shh..." After typing into the Purple Thunder Solar Python chat, the folks at Blackwood finally got Ethan\'s point. Nevertheless, the Direct Death Coffin was placed in the ancestral hall, which Nathan said was the most important spot. From now on, it would stay there.

The crowd quickly opened the jade stone.

"Dad, it\'s a technique, the Sky Codex!" Lucas exclaimed, eyes wide as he saw the twelve martial arts techniques recorded inside, "Eleven yellow-tier techniques, and one mysterious-tier!"

"Sky Codex?" Olivia was astonished. "That\'s exactly where Marcus went—to the Sky Sect. I\'ve checked through connections; Sky Sect has menial disciples, outer disciples, inner disciples, and true disciples. His master is an elder, and Marcus is an inner disciple. They cultivate psychic powers using the Sky Codex! But after their disciples cultivate, they place restrictions under their spirits.

How did our forebearer get his hands on it?"

"I get it now!" Amelia\'s eyes lit up.

Luna paused, "Get what?"

"When Marcus went to the Sky Sect, I wanted to break his legs, but Forebearer stopped me. He was the one who supported Marcus going to the Sky Sect!" Amelia slapped her thigh. "Forebearer had planned it all along. He intentionally sent Marcus to the Sky Sect to get their martial arts techniques. Years ago, he had already set up the plan to acquire the Sky Sect techniques!"

"Shh—" Everyone gasped in awe.

Olivia looked up at Ethan\'s memorial Cards in admiration, "Worthy of Forebearer."

"..." Watching his clan getting carried away, Ethan was dumbfounded and finally coughed, "You guys are really laying it on thick. I\'m blushing here."

He quickly sped up time, no longer daring to listen to his descendants\' praises. It was all an unexpected windfall that almost made him lose his head.

[Blackwood, Year 40.]

It was a peaceful year. Blackwood had basically dominated the entire Forest Town; they had no troubles at all.

Nathan and Lucas spent most of their time in the coffin, cultivating their martial arts.

[Your descendants have opened a variety of general stores around Forest Town, named \'Heavenly Principle Hall\'.]

As the family grew, Olivia was no longer satisfied with just the resources of Forest Town.

The reason for opening stores was simply to expand the family\'s business channels. Many families did this, essentially exchanging goods with other towns to develop their clan.

And each manager of the Heavenly Principle Hall was selected from Gratitude Village for their business acumen and loyalty to Blackwood.
