Chapter 136: The Ancestors’ Sacrifices
The fog that had spread the zombie virus but also restored some spiritual energy into the modern world was also mentioned. This showed how accurate the Chu family ancestors were when they predicted the future.
"This kind of precise prediction must not have been easy. Our ancestors must have paid a heavy price for them to be prepared so well." Chu Miao pointed out as she put the book down and picked another.
"What do you mean?" Chu Hao asked as she sensed the heaviness in his sister’s tone when she said that.
"I once asked grandfather why the priestess who had told that prophecy was so frail as if she was sick. At the time I was still young and didn’t know much.
Grandfather told me that it was against the rules to peek at heavenly secrets and every time someone did it, they would be punished by the heavens.
Since she didn’t investigate in detail every time she prophesied something, her punishment was light, and only her health was affected.
I asked Grandfather what would happen if she looked at the details, and he said the price would be her lifespan.
So, for the Chu family ancestors to have such intimate details about the apocalypse, many people must have sacrificed their lifespan so that we could survive." Chu Miao explained what she knew to her brother.
"Being willing to make such sacrifices for descendants you will never meet. The beliefs of ancient people must have been rooted too deep.
