Brother, just how powerful is our family?

With the online uproar reaching this point, naturally some people have thought of another direction.

"One of the chapters got stuck in the review process, so I had to make all the revisions. I just deleted it. What's the big deal? I didn't change it. The gist of it is what it is. It won't affect anything if it's gone."

"By the way, have you guys ever thought about this—who invested in this TV series?"

"Qin Feng, the head of Huanyu Group. Everyone on Earth knows him."

"The drama that Qin Feng invested in has been stuck in the review process."

"...Now that you mention it, I suddenly feel that the person who reviewed it is quite bold."

"It's not that they're bold, it's that they're not smart enough. Why did they have to block Qin Feng's approval? Who is Qin Feng? The leader of the Yanhuang Civilization. What does the Yanhuang Civilization have? Interstellar warships. What's on those interstellar warships? Electromagnetic railguns that can travel at 0.8 times the speed of light."

"Hahaha, are you suggesting Qin Feng use a railgun to bombard the review center?"

"It's not about bombing the review center. It's about having Qin Feng send a Conqueror-class destroyer to hover above the review center and ask, 'Will this pass?'"

"The person reviewing it will definitely say, 'It'll pass, it'll pass, whatever you say will pass.'"

"So, some people really don't know what's good for them. Of all people to offend, they had to offend Qin Feng. Who is Qin Feng? He's the one who wiped out Japan in thirty seconds. How long do you think it would take him to wipe out an audit center? Three seconds? Not even three seconds. He just turned on the laser array, and the entire building would vaporize."

"No, no, no, don't throw up like that. Be civilized. Qin Feng wouldn't do something like that. He'll just have Qin Yao post an update."

"Qin Yao?"

"Yeah, right. Who's Qin Yao? Qin Feng's sister, a top global streamer with billions of fans. A single word from her is more powerful than any weapon. Her comment section will be full of 'Sister, someone's blocking your brother's show'—do you think those people can handle it?"

"We can't hold on. Absolutely not. Qin Yao's fans are more powerful than an orbital cannon."

"Then let's go find Qin Yao! Everyone go to Qin Yao's account and leave a comment, just let her say something."

"Yes, yes, yes! Let's go find Qin Yao!"

As a result, countless people flocked to Qin Yao's social media accounts.

Qin Yao's account is usually very active; she frequently posts content about her daily life, travel experiences, and food, each post receiving millions of likes. But today, the comment section was completely flooded.

"Sister Yao! 'The Song of China' is stuck in the review process!"

"Sister Yao, the drama your brother invested in is being bullied!"

"Sister Yao, could you please ask around for us? We've been waiting for a week to see Qin Liangyu!"

"Sister Yao, the 'Qingchu Chapter of the Late Ming Dynasty' was filmed so well, why isn't it allowed to air? Is someone sabotaging it?"

"Sister Yao, if you could put in a good word for me, I'll give you a thumbs up every day from now on!"

"Sister Yao, please help us! We really want to see it!"

"Sister Yao, do you remember the story of Little Ba and the lion in northern Myanmar? Some people might want to experience it too."

"Hahaha, Little Eight from Northern Myanmar! That was over a decade ago, but classics never die. Sister Yao, why don't you go to the review center again?"

"No, no, no, Yao-jie doesn't need to go. Yao-jie can just post an update. Just say: 'I heard my brother's drama got stuck in the censorship?' -- Just that one sentence is enough."

"Yes, yes, just that one sentence. The rest, let those people figure it out themselves."

What will those people think?

"They'll think about how Little Eight in northern Myanmar fed lions. They'll think about how Japan became a special economic zone in thirty seconds. They'll think about how North America became a special economic zone. They'll think about those twelve members of the self-help group, who are still exhibits in the museum on Paradise Island."

"Then they'll think: 'If we block Qin Feng's drama, will it also become an exhibit?'"

"Hahahaha, that's hilarious. Exhibits? Do they even deserve to be exhibits? At least those twelve members of the Self-Help Society were injected with the enhancement fluid and can live for 150 years. What do these people have? What qualifications do they have to be exhibits?"

"Then it will become fertilizer. After all, the agricultural islands of the Yanhuang civilization need fertilizer."

"You guys are too ruthless. But... I like it."

Qin Yao did see it.

She was at home in Yanhuang Continent, curled up on the sofa looking at her phone. The fifth son, Qin Heng, was crawling around beside her, while Chenxi was cooking in the kitchen.

When she saw the comments in the comment section, she was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What's wrong?" Chenxi poked her head out from the kitchen.

"It's nothing." Qin Yao waved her phone. "People online told me to go and offer some support to the censorship center."

Chenxi didn't understand and retreated back into the kitchen.

Qin Yao continued scrolling through the comments, becoming happier with each scroll.

"These people are really something..." she muttered, "always talking about railguns, the Eighth Route Army in northern Myanmar, and the Japanese Special Region... Am I that violent?"

She thought for a moment, opened her social media account, and typed a message.

I typed it, then deleted it.

I deleted it, then typed it again.

It happened several times, over and over again.

Finally, she posted a status update. It was very simple, just one sentence—

"I heard that 'The Long Ballad of China' has been discontinued? That's a bit of a shame, I was really looking forward to reading about Qin Liangyu."

After sending the message, she tossed her phone aside and went back to teasing the fifth child.

She didn't mention the review process, the reasons, or anyone else. She just said "it's a bit of a pity," and "we'll see."

However, this post was forwarded millions of times within ten minutes of being published.

The comments section was filled with jubilation.

"Sister Yao has spoken!"

"'It's a bit of a pity'—those four words are more effective than railguns."

"Sister Yao, just wait, there will definitely be an update tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? I'll update tonight, you believe me?"

"I believe you! I believe you! Sister Yao's words are law!"

"It's not an imperial edict, it's something even more powerful than an imperial edict. Even with an imperial edict, some people dare to outwardly obey but inwardly defy it; who would dare to disobey Sister Yao's word?"

"Little Eight from Northern Myanmar: I dare. Lion: Say that again?"

"Hahaha, classics live on forever."

Soon after, the official account of "The Song of China" posted a new announcement—

"Dear viewers, after communication, the review issues for 'The Long Ballad of China: The Late Ming and Early Qing Dynasties' have been resolved. It will be released online tonight at 8 PM sharp. Thank you for your understanding and support."

At 8 PM, the first episode of the eleventh installment, "The Early Ming Dynasty," will air on time.

The barrage of comments exploded instantly.

"It's finally here!"

"Sister Yao is awesome!"

"Long live the railgun!"

"Stop spamming the railgun, let's watch the show."

"Qin Liangyu! My goddess!"

On the screen, a female general clad in silver armor and wielding a white-handled spear is charging towards the Later Jin army's ranks. Behind her are thousands of white-handled soldiers, their banners fluttering and their battle cries deafening.

The chat was quiet for a moment, and then—

"handsome!"

"This is what a true heroine is!"

"Who says women are inferior to men!"

"Qin Liangyu, the only woman in the history of the Dragon Kingdom to be recorded in the biographies of generals and ministers in official histories!"

The History of Ming states: Liangyu was courageous and intelligent, skilled in riding and archery, and also proficient in literature and calligraphy. He was also elegant in demeanor. However, he was strict in managing his subordinates, and whenever he issued orders during military campaigns, the troops would be in awe.

"This is a true goddess!"

That night, countless Chinese people stayed in front of their screens and watched both episodes.

After seeing Qin Liangyu's heroic figure.

I have read about the brutality of the Battle of Songjin.

I've finished reading about the final struggle of the Ming Dynasty.

Some sighed, some shed tears, and some remained silent.

In one of the offices in the review center, several people hadn't slept all night.

They didn't know what they had done wrong. They simply blocked the censorship of a TV series at the behest of certain people.

And then, the whole world knew.

Then, Qin Yao posted an update.

Then they received a call from above.

He only said one sentence on the phone—

"Release them immediately."

They didn't ask why.

Because they know that there are some forces in this world that cannot be stopped.

It's not an orbital cannon, not a starship, and not the lion of Xiao Ba in northern Myanmar.

It is people's hearts.

When hundreds of millions of people want to watch a show at the same time, no one can stop them.

When hundreds of millions of people want to know the truth about a period of history, no one can cover up that history forever.

The story of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties continues.

And the long journey of "The Long Song of China" continues.

From Nuwa mending the sky to the Ming-Qing transition, this path has spanned five thousand years. From the Ming-Qing transition to—

The road ahead is still long.
