The Law of Heaven

Chapter 116 Aihara's Background

In the chairman's office at the Deep Blue United Building headquarters, under the lights, someone placed a document on the table.

"The Ruan family was once one of the nine major families of Jiuge, and Chairman Ruan is also a senior I respect. In the past hundred years, although Deep Blue Union has violated the Heavenly Law Agreement, it has generally maintained the balance of reality."

Xiang Yi, dressed in a white suit, adjusted his black-rimmed glasses, revealing a pair of chillingly pale eyes behind the lenses: "In conclusion, Jiuge will not take overly aggressive measures against your company, but there are some conditions you must accept."

Mu Bei sat on the other side, revealing a malicious smile: "Trust us, this is the best outcome. It won't affect the ecological balance of this city, and everyone here will be able to retain some of the rights they currently possess."

In the middle stood an elderly woman with white hair, leaning on a cane, who said, "I believe my older sister will agree. After all, we were once family, and there's no need to make things too ugly."

The Deep Blue Alliance has become quite decadent over the past century. I would like to ask, how many immortal beings have the five great families present here produced in the last twenty years? And how many of them are qualified to achieve the Grand rank?
For a towering tree that has already decayed, infusing it with new life is the only way out.

This statement is truly devastating.

One of the arguments involved was a violent one.

The Central True Academy proposed a concept in 1974 that the propagation of immortal beings is not transmitted through bloodlines, but rather through spiritual will.

This shatters the bloodline theory of immortal beings.

simply put.

The propagation and inheritance of immortal beings have nothing to do with bloodline. The descendants of a family possess the aptitude for awakening not because the family’s bloodline is special, but because they have been exposed to relevant knowledge and received similar education from a young age.

It was precisely that specific educational method, along with the mysterious knowledge inherited from ancient times, that enabled their family members to awaken their abilities and cultivate generations of immortal beings.

When a family decays and loses its former beliefs and traditions, the spirit and vitality of the family are gone.

If future generations are ignorant and incompetent, they will gradually lose their talents.

That's why that saying came about in ancient times.

Princes and generals have a certain kind of relationship.

In ancient times, all royal families and aristocratic clans were families of immortal beings. They were in the ruling class for a long time and held power over the world.

Even though they monopolized the inheritance of the Perfection Technique, they still couldn't withstand the decay and collapse within themselves.

A hundred or two hundred years is enough time for those immortal beings without a lineage to complete the self-study of the Perfection Technique through long practice and exploration, and then rise up in rebellion.

Later historians have analyzed that the three-hundred-year cycle of dynastic change is likely related to this.

The most typical example recently is the descendants of Xiangye more than a hundred years ago. He did not raise his children properly, so that his descendants lost the relevant education and inheritance, and it is difficult for immortal beings to appear decades later.

The five major families are now repeating the same mistakes. The older generation is too old to manage things, and the young people are all idiots, leading to the decline of family values.

"This……"

The board members all looked grim. They were all old men who had lived for nearly a hundred years, as old as foxes. After taking the documents, they only glanced at them briefly before summarizing Jiuge's meaning.

First, Qingdao is going to become a wicked place.

The so-called "evil zone" is a region where a primal catastrophe is about to unfold. All long-lived species in this region will be marked as suspects of violating human conventions and subjected to varying degrees of surveillance and interrogation, making it difficult to clear their names.

This is Jiuge's style of doing things.

It is better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go.

Second, DeepBlue Union must accept investment from Jiuge.

This means that the five major families will have to relinquish their strategic autonomy and lose some of their power.

Third, after Chairman Ruan's death, the board of directors will be inherited by Chairman Ruan's cousin, Ruan Xingzhi, who left the five major families a long time ago and took office at the Central True Privy Council.

This is an open conspiracy; they're clearly trying to devour you alive.

Fourth, all patients with genetic diseases infected by the Curse of Heavenly Principles must be handed over to the Central True Pivot Academy for treatment.

The board members looked at each other in bewilderment.

Jiuge really chose a good time, precisely when the Deep Blue Alliance had just finished conquering the opposing side and was weakened by internal strife, taking advantage of the situation to strike at the heart of the matter.

Clearly, the elders were unwilling to compromise.

But they could not refuse the power of Jiuge.

Ruan Xingzhi is relatively easy to talk to.

Although Mubei was powerful, he was not invincible.

The key is Xiang Yi, a member of the Xiang family clan, a rare Pure Eye user, and a genius who has the potential to advance to the Transcendent Rank within three years.

There was a click.

The door was pushed open, and Ruan Yang walked in expressionlessly. He went to the front of the conference table, facing the delegation from the Central True Academy and the elders of the five major families.

"Gentlemen, I will convey the chairman's message."

He cleared his throat: "Firstly, Deep Blue Alliance can accept investment from the Central True Academy. Secondly, anyone from the five major families who wants to take over as chairman must first win the support of the people; as long as they can resolve the potential disasters in this city, they will be the people's choice."

Thirdly, if the original disaster on Qin Island is completely extinguished, then according to the provisions of the Heavenly Principle Agreement, the area will no longer meet the conditions for being defined as a sinful zone. The Central True Prison can establish sinful zones, but the company reserves the right to terminate them immediately upon having sufficient grounds.

Fourth, the Deep Blue Alliance is willing to accept the assistance of the Central True Academy to treat all patients infected with the Curse of Heavenly Principle. We must preserve the basic rights of all patients. We will not allow anyone to use the patients for any improper purposes. This is an inviolable bottom line; if anyone attempts to cross it…

The old chairman doesn't mind starting a war at this time.

A brief silence fell over the office.

The board members were also stunned.

I never expected the old chairman to be so tough.

Ruan Xingzhi glanced to his left and right without making a sound.

"As expected of a dying man."

Mu Bei sneered, "That's really tough." "That's in line with the old chairman's temperament."

No one dared to fight to the death with a dying man over such a matter, not even Xiang Yi, a member of the Xiang family clan. So he waved his hand and said, "We'll discuss it again."

The meeting concluded, and the three representatives of the Central True Academy showed no emotion. For them, this was not something to be angry about, and even though their goal had not yet been achieved, they were clearly not in a hurry.

Moreover, the former chairman did not attend this meeting.

This proves that her body is on the verge of collapse.

Shenlan Mansion is located on the coastline south of Tianhai Square. It is a quiet community surrounded by tree-lined paths, with red tiles and green trees, secluded from the world.

Beyond the white high walls are cliffs, below which lies the surging sea. The dim twilight falls on the sea surface, making the waves shimmer like stars, dazzling and mesmerizing.

When they were very young, Aihara and Aisei passed by this place with their second uncle and were once curious about what kind of important person could live in such a high-end community.

Time has passed, and now that they have become immortal beings, they are even going to live in this community.

Fate is truly amazing.

"Building No. 8, Unit 2, Room 302".

Aihara pushed open the door. It was a small two-bedroom apartment with a simple decor, complete with all the necessary appliances and furniture. There were no problems with gas or water supply, and it was equipped with underfloor heating.

"Brother, this house is huge!"

The sound of longing echoed in the empty room. The apartment they had rented before was also a two-bedroom apartment with a living room, but it was far less spacious than this one. The furniture and appliances were also a bit old, and they had to fix them themselves when they broke, which always left them exhausted.

On the contrary, this place has a completely new feel to it.

It's as if living here means you'll never have to worry about those annoying trifles again, and life will become smooth sailing.

"Well, it's really good."

Aihara looked around, observing the feng shui of the house, which indeed gave people a refreshing feeling.

My second uncle once said that the feng shui of a house is really important. Putting aside all the abstract metaphysics, living well can make people feel more comfortable and motivated to do things when they are in a good mood. Living poorly can make people depressed, affect their health, and cause everything to go wrong.

For the brother and sister now, what they need most is a homely atmosphere. Perhaps the house can be a little worse, but they can control every detail of the decoration themselves, so that it has both warmth and a sense of home.

Although the houses here don't meet their deepest desires, they are still quite good in all honesty.

"The monthly rent here is also 2,600, the same as the place you rented before. There are no property management fees, water and electricity are all free, and it comes with its own broadband internet. If you want to buy it, you only need to pay 70% of the market price."

Jiang Wanwu leaned against the door, her graceful curves accentuated by her suit skirt. She dangled her car keys in her hand and said, "Shall I take you downstairs for a stroll?"

Her face was full of bright smiles, but there was something she kept to herself, something she didn't say aloud.

That means Jiang Youqing also lives here!
Therefore, Jiang Wanwu specifically applied for a house that was the furthest away from that woman, a full two kilometers away.

snort!
"Okay, thank you, sister."

Xiangsi skipped by like a little elf, her white skirt fluttering in the wind like clouds.

Throughout the journey, Xiangsi tried to get close to this charming older sister, using her years of tea-making skills to their fullest extent, and making various overt and covert attempts to test her.

It's unclear whether Jiang Wanwu noticed the girl's intentions, but each of her seemingly casual answers was actually impeccable, perfectly crafting the image of a gentle older sister, the type of virtuous wife and loving mother.

One is her sister-in-law, who is extremely vigilant.

One is the prospective sister-in-law who desperately wants to gain approval.

Aihara was too lazy to pay attention to the two women. He watched them take pictures of the sea at dusk by the mountainside, so he reluctantly went to stroll around the garden and found a pavilion.

The pavilion seemed to be coated with a golden halo in the dim twilight. A hunched old woman wearing a fisherman's hat sat at the stone table, brewing tea, which bubbled and boiled.

Just as Aihara was about to leave, she called him back.

"Xiang Chaonan's nephew?"

The old man asked casually.

The shadow of her fisherman's hat obscured her face.

"you are?"

Aihara stopped and looked back.

"You don't need to care who I am."

The old man raised his right hand, which trembled as if he had Parkinson's disease. He coughed painfully, his voice hoarse: "My student is gone. Come and make me a pot of tea. Don't refuse me. Your uncle slept with my niece."

puff.

Aihara felt a surge of anger rising within him, but upholding the virtues of respecting the elderly and caring for the young, he sat down at the stone table to help brew tea, looking at the old man with a puzzled expression.

The old woman must be a senior member of one of the five major families to live here, and her status must be quite high. In addition, she is a woman and looks sickly and about to die.

Could it be...

He felt a growing sense of unease.

If he really is the chairman of Deep Blue Union, then he must be careful to prevent his secrets from being exposed.

Anyone who can reach this position must be a ruthless and decisive tyrant, and extremely dangerous.

Unfortunately, the chairperson is the grandmother of Ruan Yun and Ruan Qi.

Unexpectedly, the old man's next words caused his nerves to suddenly explode, and his soul seemed to tremble slightly.

"Your Pure Eyes really do have a problem. I don't know if it's mutated or incomplete, but in any case, you're special. No wonder Xiang Chaonan went to great lengths to alter cause and effect back then, stealing you out and bringing you here."

The old man raised his head and glanced at him: "Sixteen years ago, Xiang Chaonan clearly wanted the Ruan family to raise you, but they were all blind at the time and didn't take a liking to you."
