But once war breaks out, the City Lord's power expands enormously.
During the city lockdown, anyone who tries to escape, no matter who you are, if caught, will be executed at the roadside without trial!
In chaotic tis, severe asures must be taken, and drastic redies applied to deep-rooted illnesses.
Only with an iron fist can people's hearts be united, combining all class groups into one, twisting the entire collective's strength together to face external threats.
When the Strategic cha is activated, millions, tens of millions, even hundreds of millions unite their minds, using the power of mortals to slaughter the divine.
It's a bit helpless to say.
Because of the inherent inferiority of the Human Race, unable to produce strong individuals, humans can only exert the collective power to the fullest to secure a place in a world full of strong races.
Tigers walk alone, like the Elf Race, Undead Race, Feather God Race... they have countless strong individuals, one can form an army.
But humans must stick together, when gathered, they are a blazing fire, when dispersed, they are stars all over the sky.
...
Lu Xun stood at the airport exit, looking around.
Before long, three figures, two tall and one short, appeared in his sight.
"Brother!"
Xie Manyu's eyes lit up, imdiately spotting her brother's figure among the crowd.
His short, fiery hair, tall stature, broad shoulders, lengthy limbs, and masculine aura; his young face had rigid lines, full of youthful vigor, exuding the strong charm of an adult male.
Xie Manyu eagerly dragged her suitcase, squeezing through the crowd to rush to her brother, ignoring calls from her aunt and uncle.
She really missed her brother.
Though it had only been a week, so much had happened, especially the ti when Naga Race pirates wreaked havoc; thinking of the dangers her brother faced, she felt restless and even dread of going ho to see him.
A few hours ago, the events in Jiuyue City frightened her terribly.
Just after the plane took off, Jiuyue City was attacked and completely locked down.
Luckily, it didn't return, or the Xie Manyu family would have been separated from Lu Xun for a long ti.
As long as the war didn't stop, they couldn't reunite.
Now seeing Lu Xun, she felt deeply moved, not expecting such turbulence in just one week.
But fortunately, it's all over now.
"I-I'm back, Brother." Xie Manyu rushed to Lu Xun breathlessly.
"Mm, welco ho."
Lu Xun smiled, stepped forward to pick up her suitcase, and gently patted her head, saying, "Let's go, I'll take you to our new ho in the Inner City, have a rest, then go for a big al to welco you back; I've already booked the restaurant."
He had already told Aunt and Uncle about moving.
Including Xiao Yu's transfer, he had also notified them by phone beforehand.
"Actually, living in the Outer City isn't a problem, brother, you didn't need to rush to buy a house, the Inner City is so expensive, you worked hard to earn so money, and now it's all gone so quickly." Xie Manyu sighed while holding her brother's arm, then smiled, "But it's okay, buying it ans you won't need to buy wedding housing later. Right, Brother?"
Hearing that, Lu Xun couldn't help but laugh: "Wedding house? Are you turning into Aunt? I haven't even considered marriage myself, yet you're worrying about it for . Don't worry, the house was bought via a friend, didn't cost much."
"Such a big villa, how could it not cost much?" Xiao Yu looked disbelieving.
She had seen photos of the new house in the Inner City.
Very large, excellent layout, luxuriously decorated.
And it's in a pri location, at the center of the valuable Zone 1, not far from the City Lord's Mansion.
People living in such a mansion must be either rich or noble.
Yet her brother told her that it was going to be their family's new ho.
A life Xie Manyu never dared to dream of had beco real.
All she could say was her brother was amazing!
He went with the Treasure Pavilion to Naga Race, ca back a billionaire.
Uncle and Aunt also ca over then.
"Xiao Yu is right, consider it buying a pre-marriage house," Uncle patted his nephew's shoulder, laughing, "We'll enjoy your good fortune for now, and when you, Xiao Lu, marry, the three of us will move out. Tsk tsk, never thought I'd experience the luxury of Inner City Zone 1, hahaha. But spending is high, you've basically spent all your money, right?"
"I checked online, the land alone in Zone 1's core starts at two billion. You really spared no expense, Xiao Lu, I'd be heartbroken over the money. After twenty years of work, I can't even buy a luxury toilet, and Xiao Lu, you bought it outright." Aunt added with emotion.
Lu Xun was speechless.
He really didn't spend any money.
Xi got it for him, cost him nothing!
And, Xi originally prepared an even grander, ultra-luxurious private estate, like a castle, far more stately than the City Lord's Mansion.
Lu Xun felt it was too extravagant, too ostentatious, so he asked to change it to a regular villa.
This mansion that shocked Aunt's family was already several ranks down.
The family really didn't know how incredible Lu Xun had beco in Jinghai City.
Such a mansion, buying ten more would be just a word from Lu Xun.
Indeed, looking at the larger world stage, Lu Xun was quite a significant figure.
An Emperor-level Life Form, his slightest movent could shake the whole planet.
A residence, nothing worth boasting.
If Lu Xun wanted, he could leave the Human Federation and build a nation, becoming a king.
At that point, it wouldn't just be mansions, even palaces would be possible!
He simply had no interest in that.
Plus, he knew well, his aunt's family was easily content.
His uncle and others were born from the social bottom, knowing life's hardships, thus more than many middle-upper class, cherishing the present.
Lu Xun, too, with his family, felt content with a peaceful, happy life.
Establishing kingdoms, building palaces, enjoying worship, having a harem of three thousand beauties… would these make Lu Xun happy?
No.
He didn't need those.
The ultimate path of life evolution was his lifelong pursuit.
He aspired to beco the strongest Ultimate Life Form in the universe!
This was Lu Xun's belief, firm and unyielding.
Besides that, all he needed was a peaceful, warm ho.
That's all.
'Jinghai City has had spies infiltrate twice, but I cleaned them out. The Blood Race and Empire likely won't target Jinghai again... but it's uncertain, I need to prepare, make early plans for future events.'
As Lu Xun was going ho with his family, he was contemplating the upcoming arrangents.
In fact, moving the whole family to a Sixth-level Self-sustaining City would be best.
But not now.
Because in a few days, Lu Xun's second opportunity would arrive.
The rift on the playground, that was Lu Xun's prayer.
The little fairy Lillian's prayer hasn't been fulfilled yet.
If another large rift opens in a few days, it would be absolutely exhilarating.
Hopefully, there won't be any trouble during this ti.
