Qin Family Ancestral Shrine.
The shrine was filled with countless tablets, honoring the heroic spirits who fought for the Qin Family, numbering in the hundreds of thousands.
An elderly man with white hair sat cross-legged on a mat; he was the First Ancestor of the Qin Family. Behind him stood nine other ancestors, along with Qin Feng's father, Qin Tian.
"First Ancestor, that's how it is!"
Qin Tian knelt respectfully on the ground, recounting the entire situation.
Without turning his head, the First Ancestor slowly spoke, "Since this battle is unavoidable, then let us fight!"
"Yes!"
Everyone's expressions were solemn, pledging to fight to the death.
At that moment—
A childish voice broke the serious atmosphere, "Ancestor, you mustn't..."
"Feng'er, get out!"
Qin Tian saw Qin Feng running in with his short little legs and hurriedly scolded him to leave. To make a racket in the Ancestral Shrine and even dare to question the First Ancestor's decision was truly out of line.
"You shut up!"
The First Ancestor, instead of blaming, scolded Qin Tian and then turned around with a smile, waving at Qin Feng who had run in.
"Yes!"
Qin Tian felt extremely aggrieved.
Both were descendants of the ancestors, yet the difference was so vast! Was it just because he didn't have the Emperor's Potential!?
"Feng'er, what did you mean by saying 'you mustn't' just now?"
The First Ancestor looked at Qin Feng with a doting expression, extremely fond of this junior who had been particularly attentive since childhood, often bringing him tasty treats.
Unlike the other unfilial descendants who only sought him out for fights.
Qin Feng's little face was serious as he said, "Only fools think of winning through war. Winning drains our energy, and losing spells disaster for our Qin Family."
"Fools!?"
The present ancestors all looked at Qin Tian, as if to say they wouldn't take the blame for this; he was the head of the Qin Family.
"I..."
Qin Tian's eye twitched involuntarily, and a big "Damn" popped up in his mind.
"What do you mean, do you have a way to win without going to war?"
The First Ancestor was immediately interested, wanting to hear what insights this eight-year-old child might have.
It wasn't the Qin Family initiating the war; it was the Great Xia Royal Family making a move against them. It was a war concerning their own interests, with no right or wrong, and no possibility of negotiation.
"Of course!"
Qin Feng confidently said, "Actually, the root cause of the whole matter is the appearance of my second brother and me, which broke the balance and made the royal family feel threatened. As long as we find a way to hide my second brother and me, there will be no reason for the war to continue."
Is that it!?
Such is the thinking of a child.
Even if they hid the two brothers now, the Great Xia Royal Family would never let it go unless the brothers were dead or crippled.

"Exactly, crippled!"
Qin Feng's little face was unusually serious as he took out an ancient, yellowed book.
It was something he exchanged from the system, an ancient book introducing rare physiques, clearly recording detailed information about the Supreme Bone, including the correct way to unlock its potential.
"Extract the bone, break and then rebuild!!"
The present ancestors couldn't help but exclaim, shocked by the correct way to unlock the Supreme Bone's potential.
If others had a Supreme Bone, they would treat it as a treasure. Who would be cruel enough to extract a child's Supreme Bone, then rely on great perseverance to break and rebuild to achieve the supreme position?
The First Ancestor was silent for a long time before he spoke, "This method is feasible!"
"What!!"
The present ancestors exclaimed, not expecting the First Ancestor to agree.
"I object!!"
Qin Tian immediately shouted anxiously, "Hao'er is only five years old, he's still a child. This isn't the kind of pain he should endure at his age."
The First Ancestor calmly said, "To achieve the supreme position, a Supreme Bone alone is not enough. Great perseverance and courage are also needed, and there is a destined path."
"A destined path!?"
The present ancestors couldn't help but look at each other, wondering if the First Ancestor had seen some heavenly secret.
"But..."
Qin Tian understood the reasoning, but when it came to his own son, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
The First Ancestor ignored Qin Tian and looked at Qin Feng with interest, asking, "Hao'er can hide himself by extracting the bone and achieve the supreme position in the future. How will you hide yourself and demonstrate the Emperor's Potential in the future?"
Qin Feng said righteously, "The eldest son of the Qin Family, jealous of his second brother's talent, personally extracts his second brother's Supreme Bone for his own use. Discovered by the Qin Family, he escapes, and the Qin Family Ancestors are furious, banishing Qin Feng forever and issuing a kill order throughout the Archaic Era."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room was shocked.
They couldn't imagine that the child before them was only eight years old. He was not only ruthless to others but even more ruthless to himself.
If Qin Hao's bone extraction was merely physical pain, then Qin Feng would endure both physical and mental torment.
Not only would he be labeled a traitor to the Qin Family, but he would also lose the family's protection and be endlessly hunted until the day Qin Hao grew strong enough to clear his name, provided he survived until then.
To this, Qin Feng felt no pressure; the max-level Red-Haired Old Monster was not just for show.
"No way!!"
As a father, Qin Tian could not accept this plan under any circumstances.
The eldest son would bear the family's expectations and struggle to survive outside, while the younger son would endure unimaginable pain to grow step by step. No parent would want their children to suffer such pain.
"To do a hero's deed, to bear the infamy for generations, for the family, I am willing!"
Qin Feng stood tall and righteous, almost moved to tears by his own words.
In just a few words, the ancestors, who had lived for thousands of years, almost couldn't hold back.
He's only eight years old!
He's still a child!
To selflessly prevent the family from going to war, even at the cost of infamy for generations!!
With such descendants, how could the Qin Family not thrive in the future!!
"Ding dong, for such a hypocritical villain, applause is deserved here. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Portable Space."
Qin Feng immediately sensed the Portable Space, roughly a thousand square meters in size, truly an essential tool for home travel, murder, and arson.
The First Ancestor struggled to restrain himself, his voice still trembling, "The ancestor knows you're a good child, but do you know what you'll face by doing this? You won't have a chance to regret it!"
"I won't regret it. A sharp sword is forged through grinding, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold. Without experiencing wind and rain, how can you see the rainbow!"
Qin Feng's eyes were clear, his gaze firm.
But at this moment, his inner thoughts were...
Five years!!
Do you know how I've lived these five years!?
Stop babbling!!
Let me extract the Supreme Bone quickly, I want to complete the task, I want the Invincible Double Pupils, I don't want to be a good baby at home, I want to leave the novice village to find pretty young ladies and little wives.
"Good!!"
The First Ancestor struggled to utter a single word, as if it took all his strength.
He knew Qin Feng's plan was the best, minimizing the Qin Family's losses. Even in the worst-case scenario, only Qin Feng would be sacrificed.
But if he could hold on until that day, the Qin Family would become stronger because of him.
"First Ancestor, I beg you..."
Qin Tian urgently knelt down and kowtowed, his eyes full of humble pleading.
He couldn't bear to watch his son being hunted outside while he had to pretend not to care. It was too painful, too cruel for a father.
"Father, don't worry, I will definitely come back safely!"
Qin Feng, moved, helped his father up, sincerely calling him father for the first time in eight years.
This call of 'father' was also his promise to him, that he would definitely come back to personally pull out his oxygen tube...
