Chapter 1505 The Difficulties That Deity Realm Warriors Face
Regarding the origins of the nine great cultivation families, Meng Chao had heard Lu Siya mention some of them.
In fact, before Dragon City transmigrated, Earth was already in its 22nd century, a post-industrial and even post-information era. The whole society was extremely fragmented and atomized.
Traditional big families had long fallen apart, and the family size had gotten smaller with time. Even if four generations lived together, the total number of family members would at most be seven or eight, not more than ten people. It was very difficult to give birth to a so-called “noble family’ with only a few individuals in each generation.
However, after the Dragon City transmigrated, it was attacked by floods, viruses, zombies, and monsters one after another. The social order fell apart and returned to the bloody era where the strong preyed on the weak and the fittest survived.
In that period of lawless and cruel times, the importance of blood ties or family gradually became apparent.
Those, who were the first to awaken their extraordinary powers, become powerful, and control most of the resources for survival, were often favored by the opposite sex in double or even triple digits. That allowed their genes to spread like they were ancient emperors or the only male lion in the pride.
No matter how much they did not get close to the opposite sex, those who only liked to train their muscles and bones all day often had seven or eight to ten children.
It was common for the strongest person who was passionate about reproduction to have two-digit children.
The problem was that even from the moment they awakened their extraordinary power, they had been working hard day and night, spreading their branches and leaves.
A baby that was conceived for ten months would not be able to become a core force to protect the family within three to five years.
The strongest person who realized this problem also imitated the wisdom of the ancient people in the chaotic world and thought of a way to recruit foster sons.
At that time, Dragon City was full of orphans who had lost their parents and had no one to rely on.
Many orphans who were born to raise their children had reached the age of 15,16, and 17. They were hot-blooded, aggressive, and dared to risk their lives for half a loaf of bread with humans, zombies, and monsters.
The supreme experts took these orphans as foster sons, just like the “Thirteen gangsters”in the chaotic world of ancient times. With a little training, they could get a troop of soldiers who were brave and fearless.
Relying on illegitimate children and foster sons, the original cultivation aristocratic families rapidly expanded like a snowball. Until today, the smallest family among the nine cultivation aristocratic families had more than 100 members.
The large ones even had more than 1,000 elites of the family.
In addition, the nine mega corporations jointly established by the nine cultivation aristocratic families and their vassal families, as well as the suppliers, contractors, and the middle and lower reaches industrial chains attached to the nine super enterprises… together, they formed a force that could turn the clouds and turn the rain, with a single hand, it was enough to decide the direction of Dragon City’s advancement.
And within the nine cultivation aristocratic families, the hierarchy was very strict.
The godsons who were not related to the Deity Realm warriors who were the heads of the families, as well as the descendants of the Deity Realm experts, although they shared the same surname and seniority, there was an invisible barrier between them.
The Deity Realm experts who were the heads of the families liked to place their godsons and the children of their godsons in various key departments and business posts to take on practical work.
The reason was simple. The nine great cultivation aristocratic families were able to stand out from the bloody era where the strong preyed on the weak and lawlessness. After defeating the Blood Union, establishing the Survival Committee, and building the transcendental tower, they firmly controlled dragon city for thirty years.
It was absolutely impossible for them to say that they did not do anything that violated the laws and morals of Earth.
A man would not be rich without a windfall, and a horse would not be fat without food at night.
If the superhumans did not often wander in the gray areas that were not worthy of outsiders’ attention, how could they possibly obtain the astronomical cultivation resources needed to break through and continuously upgrade?
Anyone who was in the management post of the nine Super Enterprises during the miracle era of wild growth would not be able to completely comply with the laws and regulations, let alone stand the test of nitpicking
For example, Shen Yulin.
As the general manager of the Red Creek Project, if he did not put the interests of the family before the interests of the enterprise and the interests of the enterprise before the interests of Dragon City, he would not be able to sit in this position at all.
If he wanted to sit in this position, he had to be prepared to take the blame for the family at any time.
Another example was that the management of the pharmaceutical manufacturers who colluded with Gao Chuang and engaged in the black market transactions were often the foster sons and the children of the foster
sons.
They were not blood-related to Deity Realm warriors, but they were bold enough to deceive the higher-ups and lower-ups under the eyes of Deity Realm powerhouses. They harmed public and private interests, and they wantonly stole and sold rare resources that could not be reproduced?
Did they really think that Deity Realm powerhouses were deaf and blind to the extent that they could not punish them when they were seriously injured in the fierce battle with the monster mainframe?
Could it be that the astronomical profits they had earned from the “black market bosses” such as Gao Chuang, as well as the various heavenly and earthly treasures that they had plundered from the low-level and middle-level superhumans, had all fallen into their own pockets?
The answers to these questions were too obvious.
It was so obvious that it was like an elephant in a room that no one could see.
As for the lineal bloodline of the Deity Realm warriors, especially among the lineal bloodline, they were extremely talented and rare. They were those who could win the favor of the Deity Realm warriors before them.
As the head of the family, the Deity Realm warriors were reluctant to let them go and take on practical matters.
The more they did, the more mistakes they made.
If they did nothing, they would never make mistakes, and they would never have to worry about being caught.
There was only one mission for the direct descendants.
That was to train.
Nowadays, it did not matter how many things they did in Dragon City. The cultivation realm was the most important thing.
They were as diligent as an old scalper. They worked hard without complaint and took care of many affairs every day. As a result, they did not have time to train at all. If anything happened, they would have to bear the blame.
Of course, it was better for them to ignore everything and devote all their time, energy, and resources to absorbing spiritual energy, refining their martial arts, swallowing heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and charging at the limits of every cell in their body and even every gene chain.
As long as they could break through the limits of the human body and reach the peak of the Heaven Realm or even the legendary Deity Realm, they could become a walking human-shaped nuclear bomb.
When the cake was distributed, the experts who had absolute martial arts in their hands would naturally be at the forefront. They would not have to worry that their hands would be dirtied by the cream on the cake.
“I can tell you everything about the black market transactions. Together with the core transaction data in your hands, I can guarantee that you will be able to track down the management of a large number of pharmaceutical manufacturers and even trigger a major earthquake among the nine noble families of cultivation, allowing the Azure Alliance to regain the upper hand in this battle.”
Gao Chuang said, “But if you think that you can overthrow the nine noble families of cultivation in such a way, you are too nave.
“In the end, whether it is a ‘big shot of the black market’ like me or the management of the pharmaceutical companies on the surface, we are all insignificant branches and leaves on the tree that blots out the sun.
“In the past decades, the tree has grown to a point where it is ‘too big to fall’. Even if all the old branches and leaves are cut off, it will not be long before more, larger, and denser branches and leaves grow back again, blocking and stealing all the sunlight before they are transported to the trunk that is deeply rooted in the earth.
“As for all of you, no matter how nice you say it, ‘do the right thing’ or ‘better tomorrow’, in reality, you only have the ability to trim the branches and leaves, Don’t you?”
Gao Chuang rambled on.
Even though Meng Chao had mentally prepared himself.
Gao Chuang had told him personally about the insider information regarding the black market transactions involving the nine great cultivation families. He was so shocked that his scalp was numb and his mouth was agape.
He didn’t expect that there were so many dirty tricks in the circle of extraordinaires regarding the collection, production, and distribution of cultivation resources.
In his previous life, Dragon City had been beaten to a pulp by the Holy Light faction and fell into the abyss of destruction. It was not an injustice at all!
“These guys are so audacious to such an extent?”
Meng Chao murmured, “As the head of the family, are they really going to ignore it?”
“It can’t be helped. It’s hard to be a Deity Realm warrior!”
Gao Chuang’s face was full of smiles. He said, “In order to maintain their high state, but it seems like the Deity Realm warrior would like to spend twenty-five hours a day cultivating. How would they have time to manage the daily operations of the company?
“Wouldn’t they just hand over a big pile of trivial affairs to their adopted sons!
“The problem is that they are not related to you. Without the benefits of real money and silver, why should they be the old scalpers who work hard and take the blame if they are not careful?
“Deity Realm warriors often don’t like to see their adopted sons stronger than their direct descendants.
“It was originally a temporary measure to recruit adopted sons.
“After decades of ups and downs and seeing that their direct descendants have grown up, those adopted sons with high positions and power are naturally in an increasingly awkward situation.
“The ultimate skills of the Deity Realm warrior, as well as the rare top-grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures, of course, should be left to the direct bloodline and not the godsons.
“The main shares of the nine mega corporations and the monopoly power in various strategic fields must be inherited by the direct bloodline.
“Under such circumstances, they still want their godsons to work for the family wholeheartedly. Many times, there are many things that the Deity Realm warriors can do but turn a blind eye to.”
