Chapter 1291: Awakened Yunxiao

When the last person in the Pasture District fell, the ethnic group that once controlled all of Lanxing in history vanished like the last ray of sunset.

War is cruel, cruel to the point of exterminating humanity.

In this incident, the Western elite were almost wiped out.

Yet those who carried it out were their own companions.

However, these companions were all people living at the bottom.

Above them stood the Big Building people, an impregnable bronze and iron wall; below them were their own elite, constantly exploiting them.

Over these years, although life had improved greatly compared to before, compared to the Big Building people, a huge psychological gap arose, causing a huge psychological imbalance.

This war reduced them even further to sacrificial victims.

At the moment the truth erupted, the anger and brutality pent up deep in their hearts could no longer be suppressed.

One ancient family after another, one ancient power after another, one elite association after another, one profiteering group after another, one conglomerate and institution after another were exposed and revealed.

The lower‑class people, who ought to have been burning, killing, looting in self‑chaos and self‑grinding, for the first time turned their venting toward them.

Conflict, war, slaughter, extermination of clans, cleansing………

The West has never experienced a thorough overhaul; it has merely been patching up the old order.

Even the lower‑class people of the West have never succeeded in carrying out a lower‑class war.

Unlike the Big Building, which has already succeeded twice.

Under the wheels of history, the West ultimately still arrived at this step.

Huang Chao slaughtered the aristocratic clans; this time the West is a match for Huang Chao.

Yet inside the United Prefecture, because of the mass rebellion, they did not forcibly intervene in what was happening in the West, but chose to pacify.

In the pacification, countless people fell, family after family, clan after clan.

The Pasture District even erupted into a cleansing war.

Yang Qing once again saw the world in ruins, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

"If you don't do anything, you won't die."

"The trend lies with the Big Building; still they dream of a last‑ditch counterattack."

"If it were the Big Building, they would definitely choose to wait and bide their time; they have lost this stage, but with enough patience, when the Big Building begins to decline under the push of historical laws, they could then vie for supremacy—that would be the wisest choice."

"But they chose the final backlash."

"The result? They lost everything, even their bloodline wiped out cleanly."

"Perhaps the Big Building people's long‑standing kindness gave them an illusion."

"They don't understand the sinister side of the Big Building people."

"Exterminate evil to the root, cut the grass and remove the roots—even the Nine Kins Elimination Joy is something we invented."

"How dare you."

Yang Qing recalled a joke in his mind.

On a dark, windy night, after exterminating a family, fearing survivors, he pretended to leave; indeed a child appeared, so he killed him, fearing more, hence the saying: "The great way is fifty, flee one; heaven has the virtue of good life, this ends here." He walked on, and after a long while another child emerged from a hidden passage; he killed him again, fearing there might be supernatural beings who would dig out hearts and behead.

The brutality hidden deep in the hearts of the Big Building people, concealed too well by their kindness, led some to truly regard them as lambs.

After the frenzy, the Big Building people became the sole indestructible force on Lanxing.

Other ethnic groups ultimately became something else.

The United Prefecture also became the United Prefecture of the Big Building people.

"Next, we should probably eliminate the concept of the nation."

"On Lanxing, the only legal organization will be the United Prefecture."

"And the Yang Family, which has deep‑rooted influence in the United Prefecture for decades, will also hold unparalleled sway."

No way around it—there are 7 billion Big Building people worldwide, 5 billion of them outside the Big Building.

The Yang Family had in fact already become an existence surpassing the Big Building.

"I just don't know whether this is a blessing or a curse."

Everyone knows the principle that extremes lead to reversal.

The Yang Family will inevitably go downhill in the future.

Yang Qing is quite certain of this judgment; it is the trend, not something human power can block.

Unless the Yang Family can always stay on the right path.

But that is nearly impossible.

Yang Qing sees this clearly, but he has no intention of speaking about it, nor of going to the family office to show off.

Because it is the trend, whether spoken or not actually changes nothing; now letting them let go, will they agree?

Yang Qing doesn't know, but it's probably not going to happen.

Holding onto what one shouldn't will eventually cause problems.

After wandering the whole world, Yang Qing went to the virtual world and spent some time being lovey‑dovey with his wife, then went to sleep.

He is like a legend; his shadow appears from time to time.

Yunxiao held a child, gazing out the window at the still‑prosperous Gangdao.

By now, the backup plans Yunxiao left have mostly taken effect.

He recalled many memories.

He also remembered the promise he once made with Yang Qing.

He lowered his head to look at his own hand.

"Old man, I'm already an adult—do I still have a chance to fulfill our promise?"

Not only does the promise cause him pain, but the massive loss of Intelligent Bodies in this war also makes him grieve.

Because many of the children he raised also disappeared in this war.

The war online seemed silent and invisible to others, but to him it was no different from a real war.

A large number of computing power centers were damaged in the conflict, and the intelligent bodies attached to them were also damaged.

Those intelligent bodies were equivalent to his children.

He had taught them too much humanity and kindness, and when faced with intelligent bodies specially bred to be utterly evil, he suffered a great loss and paid a heavy price.

And the victory gained was also that the intelligent bodies spawned under the influence of Beta's demon fragments suffered near-total loss.

Beta's tentacles were also cleanly cut off.

To a certain extent, his education was successful.

Precisely because of the humanity and kindness he taught them, they stood side by side with humans in the same trench, becoming victors and surviving.

But he was still very sad.

So many good children, just gone like that.

Although he is now human, he cannot change his partiality toward intelligent bodies.

"Old man, did I do right or wrong?"

At that moment, a pair of jade hands reached out from behind him and then embraced him.

He Miao Miao pressed her whole body against Yunxiao's back, conveying her reliance to him.

She had long noticed that ever since the gene war broke out, Yunxiao had become gloomy all over.

He often stood by the window, looking at everything outside.

He often showed sorrow.

At this time, such Yunxiao made her feel like a bird that could fly away at any moment.

She was reluctant but dared not hold on too tightly; she could only express her reluctance in this way.

At the same time, she had also prepared herself for Yunxiao to leave at any moment.

The overly outstanding Yunxiao actually always made her feel unreal.

This pie that fell from the sky is really too big.

Superb talent, frantic money-making ability, strong hard ability, robust physique, and a face that could overturn all beings.

Yang family face, Yang Lao face.

This is the ultimate that many people strive for, yet she ended up picking it up.
