Max and the old man stared off at each other.

They both weren't willing to back off.

"I am not giving anything back to you." Max was adamant on his stance. And, he wasn't going to change it at all. It was an Artifact, something that could affect the overall situation in the future.

Just how could he let the old man keep it?

Not to mention, there was a possibility that Erina was its actual owner. There was no way he was going to give it away when they were close to identifying the owner for the Artifact.

"That thing is of no use to you. You can't use it to begin with. Stop being selfish and return it to me. You don't have any idea how important that thing is." The Old man looked at Max with a heavy frown on his face.

"Why don't you guys have me take a look at it?" The Storm Progenitor asked, looking at the two. He was honestly quite interested in this topic. The two seemed to be able to fight for eternity regarding the possession of that thing, it wasn't odd that he was interested in giving it a look.

"No!!" Both the old man and Max simultaneously responded. There was no way in hell that they would allow these old monsters to have a look at it. After all, there was a chance that they would keep it to themselves.

Both the Storm and Leviathan Progenitor were taken back by the sudden cooperation between the two. That definitely seemed to have come out of nowhere.

"This is getting me even more interested in it."

Both Max and the old man's face turned dark.

'It's fine. They can't take it out of my spirit world.' Max was calm. He knew they wouldn't be able to force the artifact out of him. And, they would definitely be not willing to kill or torture him as well. He should be in the safe position.

But, the Old man from the Yule Family was certainly going to cause trouble. He might not do anything now, but what about the future? Max was not so sure about it.

"Do you think of us as fools?" The Storm Progenitor asked with a smile, "It's very obvious that you have got something important from the Ancient Cemetery. As for what it is, I am sure you two are aware of it."

"Since you are so hesitant on telling us about it, we wouldn't ask. But, I still am interested in knowing the events after that." He further asked with a smile. To be honest, if that important thing was in this old man's position, the Storm Lord would definitely pry his mouth and hands open. But, since it was with Max, he just allowed it to go.

The old man looked at them with a frown on his face. It was better for him to not talk about the artifact anymore. As long as it was in Max's possession, it was the safe from the two old monsters at least.

And, a good thing was that Max was also wary of them and didn't plan on handing them the Artifact. He didn't know why it was so, but it was great for sure.

"Fine..I will speak about what happened.."

With that , the old man began to narrate his story.

The old man was actually a kid when he was picked up by the Von Family. He wasn't actually born in an Ancient Family. He was named Sun due to his ability.

He obviously was a talented seedling with his unique affinity with the sun. That gave his energy a certain special characteristic which differentiated him from the other guys. He was definitely among one of the top ten in his generation.

And then one day, that time came..

A time which every youth from the Ancient Family has to go through.

It was time to make a decision whether they wanted to enter the Ancient Cemetery or not.

This man had made his choice.

Sun chose to enter the place with four others.

And, none of them were ever seen again.

The story should have ended there, but it actually hadn't.

Sun survived the harsh trials in the Cemetery. It was luck, quick wit, and hard work. This was what saved his life throughout the trial.

After making out of the fourth test, he was allowed to leave. Obviously, he hadn't passed the test in its entirety but he seemed to have done the bare minimum.

He was rewarded with two things in the Trial.

First was a chance of awakening.

This led to his complete awakening and strengthened his affinity to the Sun a dozen more times. It was to the point that he seemed to have evolved into a different species just like Max.

The Second thing which he got was the artifact.

The Trial had made him aware of the significance of an artifact. He knew how important it was for a wielder to be born for the artifact.

He tried to wield it, but it didn't work with him.

The reason was unknown.

But, he sure didn't feel any affinity with it.

He could feel that his energy of the Sun was different from the fiery energy hidden inside the artefact.

If the two came in contact, there was no chance for harmony but only a fight.

Hence, he decided to find the right person for the Artefact.

After coming out of the trail, he decided to quietly sneak out into the outside world. It was because his thoughts differed from the Ancient Families and also a tiny bit because he was being bullied by the Old monster of Von House.

He didn't like the idea of Ancient Families keeping things together with themselves. The Ancient Families were after all closed from the outer world.

Hence, he went to the outside world trying to build up his own force. One that could reckon with the Ancient Families and could also play a role in the war in the future.

During his journey, he met with the Lord of the Scarlet Family during that time.

After a series of good events, the two quickly became good friends.

With his help, he set up the Yule Family and became its first Patriarch.

After feeling that the Scarlet Lord could be trusted, the Old man decided to share his story with him.

It was obviously unbelievable but the man didn't question his friend at all. Instead, he decided to help his friend in his endeavor.

He along with the Scarlet Lord expanded their territory and in the end, the Scarlet Family became the center of the world's attention all while Yule Family, the real mastermind of the event remained in shadows.

The Scarlet Family took all the credits and became the Noble House while the Yule Family faked it's existence as a mere allied family. It was to hide himself from the clutches of the Old monsters of the Ancient Families.

Years passed, but the Old man couldn't find any person suitable for the Artifact.

At that moment, the two of them came up with an idea.

The old man possessed the overbearing energy of sun, and the Scarlet Lord too had the power of flames. And whenever Scarlet Lord's flames came near the artifact, the old man could feel a slight reaction from the artifact. It was most likely because he had dormant genes of Ancient Era in him.

With that theory as a basis, the two came up with a plan.

It was a known fact that purity of a bloodline became thinner with each passing generation. In that case, it would be the same for Sun's bloodline as well. This would in turn, calm the overbearing energy down.

If they went by this way, there was a chance that one of his descendants might just be able to do the impossible and wield the artifact.

And, the Scarlet Lord's gene might help in it as well.

The two of them decided to pass down their lineage, and at a later stage have them get mixed in hope of giving birth to a person who could wield an artefact.

It was a crazy plan, but it still was better than nothing. Besides, they were constantly looking for a person who could be a wielder. So, if they found someone, it was good. If not, they would wait for hundreds for years, and might as well give this plan a shot.

After all, even if the Scarlet Lord passed away, this man who had attained Ascension wasn't going to go away anytime soon.

And, that was exactly what happened.

After the old man's wife passed away, he slowly erased his existence as well. But, he still remained in the Yule family with one identity or the other.

And, after years of failing to find a wielder, the old man finally decided to go up with their backup plan.

He once again returned to the surface, and made both Lord of the Scarlet and Yule Family aware of his presence. He even explained to them about the situation.

That was the year when Wilson's mother got married to the Scarlet Lord.
