241: Replenish the potential of the dead soldiers (6,000 chapters)
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire room fell silent.
Yu Xiu's parents, as well as Yu Qianqian and her sister, all looked at Yu Xiu with strange expressions.
"Let's move past this topic."
Noticing the strange looks around him, Yu Xiu felt a wave of embarrassment.
He had truly forgotten about it.
Among the wealthy families in the capital who had offered all their assets, the Wu Family, to which Wu Lei belonged, was included.
"Boss, what about my Nine-Colored Qilin Bloodline? What do you think?"
Chu Tianjiao shamelessly stepped forward and asked.
"Later!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Xiu turned and left, not giving Chu Tianjiao another chance to speak.
"Boss..."
As soon as Chu Tianjiao opened his mouth, he was met with Yu Xiu's cold gaze, which immediately made him shut up, not daring to utter another word.
"Boss, I'm not talking about the Nine-Colored Qilin Bloodline; I'm talking about the Chu Family's matters."
Chu Tianjiao shrank his neck and spoke again cautiously.
"The Chu Family?"
Hearing this, Yu Xiu finally stopped, turned back, and said, "Come with me to the study."
With that, Yu Xiu headed upstairs.
Chu Tianjiao followed closely behind him.
Entering the study, it was more like a tea room and chess room set up by Yu Xiu's father, rather than a traditional study. This was often the battleground for Yu Xiu's father and Chen Sihai.
"Sit down and speak!"
Yu Xiu said, and Chu Tianjiao, shedding his earlier playful demeanor, walked over and sat opposite Yu Xiu.
"Boss, my Grandpa has already arranged all the Chu Family members who need to be relocated, including those in his battle team."
Chu Tianjiao explained, "He is currently looking for people to build the Kirin Small World."
"Like workers and such."
"My Grandpa asked me to ask you, how about building the Kirin Small World in an ancient style?"
"My Grandpa said that we don't have many people, so there's no need to build skyscrapers. That would be too labor-intensive, and electricity would be a problem later."
"Furthermore, if the technology used for construction is too advanced, it will affect the Rank of the Heavenly Dao energy."
Hearing this, Yu Xiu nodded slightly. He had been to many Secret Realm Cities before, and their constructions were all biased towards ancient architectural styles, with very few skyscrapers.
In fact, the larger the Secret Realm City, the less you would see such skyscrapers.
The purpose of doing this was precisely to avoid affecting the Heavenly Dao energy of the Secret Realm City.
"I have no objection to this. Just let Grandpa Chu handle it."
Yu Xiu thought for a moment, then asked, "Did Grandpa Chu mention how they plan to get electricity?"
Chu Tianjiao nodded, "He did. We can only find professionals to build a power station."
"My Grandpa thinks that since you, Boss, are the World Master of the Kirin Small World, it wouldn't be difficult for you to open up a river channel by yourself, and then build a power station using that."
"There's also another idea: lightning storage technology, using stored lightning to generate electricity."
"After all, Boss, you are the World Master, you can summon lightning, and dedicating an area for lightning to be used for power generation is also feasible."
Facing these two power generation technologies, Yu Xiu directly chose the second one.
"Let's use lightning storage technology!"
"This kind of power generation technology might be very difficult for others, as they can't control the magnitude of the lightning and can't fully master it, but for our Kirin Small World, it's a minor matter."
"Moreover, using lightning storage technology would be more convenient."
Chu Tianjiao chuckled, "I told Grandpa earlier that, based on my understanding of you, Boss, you would definitely choose lightning storage technology."
"But my Grandpa insisted that I still ask for your opinion."
Yu Xiu smiled, but did not elaborate on this issue.
The reason Old Master Chu insisted on Chu Tianjiao asking for his opinion was something Yu Xiu understood clearly.
Chu Tianjiao also understood clearly.
There was no need to explicitly state such things.
It was merely to highlight Yu Xiu's status as the World Master.
Yu Xiu didn't care about such flattery at all.
"You just said that Grandpa Chu has already arranged all the Chu Family members who will be relocating to the Kirin Small World?"
Chu Tianjiao nodded, "That's right! Everything is arranged. They should be coming to Jiangtan City in about two days."
"Oh, and those Two Hundred Death Warriors of the Great Grandmaster Realm will also be coming."
Upon mentioning the Two Hundred Death Warriors in the Great Grandmaster Realm, Yu Xiu had an idea.
Of course, he had already thought of this idea before, but he hadn't verified it yet.
After the Qilin Bloodline appeared, and then the Kirin Small World mark, Yu Xiu wondered if he could imprint the Kirin Small World mark on these Two Hundred Death Warriors and then use the Qilin Bloodline to replenish their depleted potential.
After all, these people were once Geniuses. To simply give up on them like this would be too wasteful.
After all, the Qilin Battle Team is short on members, and there are still two hundred spots that haven't been filled.
Of course, Yu Xiu's idea wasn't just about replenishing the potential of the Two Hundred Death Warriors.
Once their potential could be restored, Yu Xiu could then focus on recruiting these Geniuses and Death Warriors whose potential had been depleted.
Especially Martial Venerable Death Warriors.
By restoring their potential, he would be giving them a chance at Rebirth.
This way, he would be more at ease regarding their loyalty.
Of course, Yu Xiu could also use his World Master abilities to imprint a deeper World mark, allowing for complete forceful control.
If anyone dared to betray him... Yu Xiu could instantly kill them with a thought.
However, unless absolutely necessary, Yu Xiu was unwilling to use such methods.
After all, the members of the Qilin Battle Team would be his brothers, fighting alongside him through life and death.
Since they were brothers, they should be distinguished from subordinates.
He was still unwilling to do such a thing to his brothers.
Subordinates, however, were another matter.
"Are you saying that the entire Chu Family won't be relocating to the Kirin Small World?"
Yu Xiu pondered for a moment, then looked up at Chu Tianjiao and asked.
"No!" Chu Tianjiao didn't hide anything, nodding, "Grandpa never intended for all the Chu Family members to relocate to the Kirin Small World from the very beginning."
Yu Xiu only thought for a moment and then understood the issue.
Given his understanding of Old Master Chu, and considering the incident from back then, Old Master Chu's purpose in doing this was likely for the people of the entire Qin Province.
"Is it for the people of Qin Province?"
Seeing that Yu Xiu could guess his Grandpa's thoughts, Chu Tianjiao wasn't surprised at all.
"That's right, it's for the people of Qin Province."
Chu Tianjiao nodded, "Over the years, the Chu Family has been guarding the entire Qin Province, which is why the people of Qin Province haven't suffered oppression from these wealthy Families, and why there haven't been Blood God Sect followers wreaking havoc in Qin Province."
"Of course, while this is the result of the Chu Family's efforts over the years, it is also my Grandpa's dream, something he has persisted in doing for so many years."
"He once wanted everyone to be equal, for the common people to have a chance to rise."
"But after that incident, my Grandpa was forced to confine himself to Qin Province, which also prevented his dream from continuing."
"Despite this, he still wanted to do this in his heart."
"It's just that he never had the opportunity."
Yu Xiu nodded slightly.
He had heard about Old Master Chu's dream and past actions from the President of Huaxia University.
Jiang Zuoyi had also mentioned this matter before.
However, he hadn't agreed and didn't want to get involved in these matters.
His previous thought had always been to allow his Family to live peacefully.
In such chaotic times, to provide a stable living environment for his Family.
Now he had the Kirin Small World, and his Family would also be relocating there.
One could say that Yu Xiu had already achieved his former dream.
Common people?
Yu Xiu silently repeated the phrase in his heart, as if questioning his own inner thoughts.
He remained silent for a long time.
Forget it!
Let's take it one step at a time!
"I believe Grandpa Chu will personally realize his dream in the future."
Yu Xiu decisively changed the topic, clearly not wanting to dwell on it.
Chu Tianjiao, however, seemed to have already anticipated this answer.
But he didn't say much either.
In short, he didn't want his boss to follow the same path his Grandpa had taken.
Because he knew the outcome his Grandpa faced, and how wronged he was back then.
His Grandpa had dedicated himself to fighting for the common people.
But in the end, when he was forced to confine himself to Qin Province, not a single common person stood up.
Not a single person spoke out.
There were countless common people who had relied on his Grandpa to enter the No Mans Land.
But what about them?
To protect themselves, they chose to look away, pretending as if nothing had happened.
Even when the Chu Family was suppressed, they remained indifferent... Chu Tianjiao knew full well what kind of life the Chu Family in the Secret Realm City was living now.
But who spoke up for the Chu Family?
The Chu Family fought for the common people but was abandoned by them.
Was it his Grandpa's fault?
Perhaps some in the Chu Family blamed him, but Chu Tianjiao would not.
Instead, he greatly admired his Grandpa, because his Grandpa was a true man of integrity.
However, if this matter could be redone, he would dissuade his Grandpa from doing it.
Just like now, he didn't want his Boss, Yu Xiu, to go down that path either.
He didn't want his Boss to end up like his Grandpa.
It was simply disheartening!
Of course, Chu Tianjiao also couldn't deny that there were some truly grateful people among the common people.
Like those in his Grandpa's battle team, who were willing to exhaust their potential to protect the Chu Family.
But such people were always a minority.
Compared to the multitude of people the Chu Family had once helped and fought for, they were but a drop in the ocean.
Not even the tip of the iceberg.
"Boss!"
After a long silence, Chu Tianjiao suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed on Yu Xiu.
"I hope that in the future, you will not fight for the common people, nor for anyone else. I hope you only live for yourself."
"Boss... can you promise me?"
Noticing the anticipation and worry in Chu Tianjiao's eyes, Yu Xiu was silent for a moment, then grinned, "Are you worried that I'll follow your Grandpa's path, treading in his footsteps?"
Chu Tianjiao nodded heavily, "That's right. In my opinion, the common people have their own destiny. They cannot make it on the Martial Dao path, and they have no chance to rise. All of this is their own fate, and it's also because they are unwilling to risk their lives to strive."
"Perhaps there's also the pressure of this world... but ultimately, it's their own reason, their own lack of courage, their unwillingness to truly face death to find life."
"I believe the common people never needed anyone to fight for them, nor should they."
"Fate must be accepted!"
“If you rely on others to change your destiny, that's just nonsense.”
“My Grandpa fought for them, but when my Grandpa was forced to be confined to Qin Province, almost losing his life, and the Chu Family was nearly annihilated, where were they then?”
“The Dragon Slayers eventually become evil Dragons.”
“I have always disagreed with Grandpa's actions. He fought for the common folk, and the common folk he uplifted eventually became powerful Families, joining other powerful Families to suppress the common folk.”
“Actually, I don't want to say anything, and I don't want to. The culprit who created these evil Dragons is my Grandpa.”
“Because he didn't do anything wrong. He fought for the common folk; that was his dream. He wanted everyone to be equal in this chaotic world.”
“But can humanity be trusted? Haven't there been enough instances of common folk becoming powerful Families?”
“Haven't there been enough instances of Dragon Slayers becoming evil Dragons?”
“Sometimes I wonder if what my Grandpa did was a merit or a fault. I can't quite tell.”
“To say it was a fault, he fought for the common folk, leading many of them into the No Mans Land, opening a door to power for them.”
“To say it was a merit, yet these common folk he brought out, after becoming powerful, turned into powerful Families, completely forgetting their roots and in turn oppressing the common folk.”
“Boss, what do you think? Did my Grandpa have merit or fault?”
Facing Chu Tianjiao's question, Yu Xiu also fell silent, because he didn't know what to say or how to judge.
To say it was a merit.
But Old Master Chu created evil Dragons.
To say it was a fault.
But he also gave hope to the common folk.
So, right or wrong.
How should it ultimately be judged?
He didn't know.
He didn't want to know either.
“Tianjiao, is right or wrong really that important?” Yu Xiu asked, looking up.
“Important!”
Chu Tianjiao said with red eyes, “If it's right, you can persist in doing it, no matter how bumpy and arduous the road ahead, you won't hesitate.”
“If it's wrong, then you must stop immediately to cut your losses and not let the mistake continue.”
Yu Xiu shook his head gently, “But in my opinion, right and wrong are not important at all.”
“Because right and wrong are always judged by others.”
“And do we really need to care about an outsider's judgment? Does it matter?”
“As long as it's something you want to do, regardless of right or wrong; as long as it's something you feel is valuable, likewise, regardless of right or wrong.”
“Perhaps this is Grandpa Chu's idea, because he felt what he was doing was worthwhile, so he didn't care about right or wrong.”
“Even though the consequences of doing so were not good, and those consequences forced him to be confined to Qin Province.”
“Did Grandpa Chu ever regret it?”
Chu Tianjiao shook his head, “Grandpa never regretted it. Even now, he's still thinking of continuing to do this one day.”
“But I can't understand, what is the value in doing this?”
“Since the common folk exist, there must be a reason for it. Why must it be reversed?”
Yu Xiu smiled.
He shook his head and said, “You're wrong. Your Grandpa wasn't trying to reverse anything, nor was he trying to make the common folk disappear.”
“Perhaps he wasn't even aiming for equality for all, because such a thing is simply impossible. There is no equality in this world.”
“Even in the future Kirin Small World, even if we try our best, you must understand, it will absolutely not be possible for everyone to be equal.”
“Because of the existence of the World Master in this world, my parents and Family will not receive the same treatment as others.”
“And you, members of the Qilin Battle Team, will absolutely not be equal.”
Chu Tianjiao wasn't stupid; he naturally understood this principle.
“Since you, Boss, understand this principle, doesn't Grandpa understand it?”
“There is simply no such thing as equality for all in this world, nor can there be.”
“Why did he do this?”
Yu Xiu said, “Because what your Grandpa wanted was never equality for all.”
“Rather, he hoped that the common folk could see the dawn of walking the path of the strong and changing their destiny.”
“He didn't want the common folk to live like slaves in this chaotic world.”
“From birth to death, they could only be subordinates, only slaves.”
“What he wanted to do was open up the sky that the upper-class powerful Families were blocking.”
“To let the common folk see the ray of sunlight shining in from beyond the sky.”
“Perhaps you think that your Grandpa opened up the sky blocked by the powerful Families, but instead created a group of common folk who became powerful Families.”
“But he didn't care. What he wanted was for the common folk to have a path to climb upwards. He didn't want the common folk's path ahead to be all darkness.”
Chu Tianjiao shook his head.
At this moment, he simply didn't want to think about these things.
“I don't understand.”
“I really don't understand.”
Chu Tianjiao self-mockingly said, “I am not a Saint, nor do I want to be a Saint, much less understand a Saint's actions.”
“Boss, you don't want to be a Saint either, do you?”
Yu Xiu smiled and nodded.
“Saints are too lofty and too distant; I can't do it.”
“I've always considered myself very insignificant, just a small person.”
“Besides, I, as a person! Am actually quite selfish; I don't want to be a hero.”
“I can't achieve your Grandpa's strength, nor do I want to.”
Hearing this.
Chu Tianjiao suddenly laughed.
He laughed very happily.
He laughed like a child.
Because Yu Xiu was one of the two people he admired most in this world.
The previous one was his Grandpa.
So he didn't want to see both of the people he admired and revered fall into a quagmire.
“Alright.”
“Don't think about these things anymore.”
Yu Xiu smiled, and a coldness suddenly appeared in his eyes, “Actually, given our current situation, we will definitely be hostile to many powerful Families in the future, even to the point of endless conflict.”
“Leaving aside everything else, just the Ji Family in the No Mans Land alone—we killed Ji Shaotian, so how could the Ji Family let us go?”
“Therefore, any powerful Family that wants to be hostile to us, just kill them.”
“Although what we are doing is different from your Grandpa's original purpose, the method is the same.”
“Both are targeting powerful Families.”
“Of course, I have no intention of fighting for the common folk. I am only fighting for myself, for the path of the Martial God, and for the mystery of eternal life.”
Chu Tianjiao smiled and nodded heavily, “Boss, you're right. Although what we are doing is the same, our goals are different.”
“We are fighting for ourselves, for the path of the Martial God, and for the mystery of eternal life.”
“Hahaha...”
“I feel much better now.”
Chu Tianjiao laughed heartily, and Yu Xiu also smiled faintly... Soon three days passed.
Old Master Chu, accompanied by the members of the Chu Family, also arrived in Jiangtan City.
Accompanying them were not only the Chu Family members but also Yu Xiu's Two Hundred Death Warriors.
Of course.
There were also many professionals from various industries for constructing the Kirin Small World.
Upon arrival.
Old Master Chu also chatted with Yu Xiu's parents for a long time, and then eagerly entered the Kirin Small World.
He now only wanted to complete the construction of the Kirin Small World.
“Is the Heaven and Earth energy here so rich? And the Rank is so high.”
Chu Tianjiao's father was instantly shocked after entering the Kirin Small World.
Although he had already learned about the Kirin Small World from Old Master Chu.
But when he truly felt it, he still couldn't help but tremble.
Previously.
He had also stayed in a Secret Realm City.
He was very clear about the gap between China and Secret Realm Cities, especially the richness and Rank difference of Heaven and Earth energy.
But now.
The Heaven and Earth energy of the Kirin Small World once again shocked him.
“Stop talking nonsense. What did I call you in here for? Have you forgotten?”
Old Master Chu saw Chu Tianjiao's father and some other Family members marveling, and immediately showed anger on his face.
“Start immediately now.”
Chu Tianjiao's father shrank his neck, obviously very afraid of Old Master Chu.
In the entire Chu Family, only Chu Tianjiao and Jiang Zuoyi dared to talk back and joke with Old Master Chu.
As for everyone else.
They didn't have that courage.
“Yu Xiu, you go take care of your business. You don't need to worry about things here.”
Old Master Chu waved his hand and said, “I will build some residences first. I've already prepared the plans and designs.”
Yu Xiu nodded and said, “I'll leave Xiao Mo with you. If you need anything done, just tell her directly.”
Although Yu Xiaomo was not the World Master of the Kirin Small World, she had transformed into the Heavenly Dao Will of the Kirin Small World.
Moreover, Yu Xiu and Yu Xiaomo shared the same soul, and their abilities in the Kirin Small World were identical; both were like Gods.
“That's great!”
Old Master Chu also knew Yu Xiaomo's abilities and origins, and immediately smiled.
“Xiao Mo!”
Yu Xiu called out softly.
Then Yu Xiaomo jumped off Yu Xiu's shoulder and floated in the air, lying lazily, “When you need me, just call me. Don't disturb my sleep for small matters.”
As soon as she finished speaking.
Yu Xiaomo lay down in the air and went to sleep.
Of course.
Yu Xiaomo wasn't truly sleeping.
Instead, she was digesting what she had gained.
After her Rebirth and becoming the Heavenly Dao Will of the Kirin Small World, her body possessed endless energy.
However, she couldn't inherit it all immediately.
So she could only digest it constantly through this method.
This point.
Yu Xiu naturally knew.
So he didn't say much.
As for the others.
They didn't dare to say anything.
“Don't worry, Xiao Mo, it's not a big deal. This old man won't disturb you.”
Old Master Chu laughed heartily and immediately led his people to start working.
Of course.
The laborers were all members of the Chu Family.
After all, they were all Martial Artists, so doing some heavy labor was not a difficult task at all.
“You all, come with me!”
At this moment, Yu Xiu looked at the Two Hundred Death Warriors, as well as the four Martial Venerable Death Warriors.
These were all given to him by Huangquan Tower last time.
“Master!”
Facing the greetings of the Death Warriors, Yu Xiu simply nodded.
What he had to do now.
Was to use his power as World Master to see if he could replenish the potential consumed by the Two Hundred Death Warriors.
