Exploding God

Chapter 1146 When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken.

"Mr. Lu, both of my great-grandmother's children are buried in the burial ground... They were both geniuses in the Song family. They went there to completely solve the problem of that towering tower in the sky, and they never came back."

After leaving the Centennial Hall, Song Tianhua quietly explained to Lu Ze.

Lu Ze nodded in understanding.

Unexpectedly, this trip to the core residence of the Song family went exceptionally smoothly.

……

Grandmother Song, like a pillar of strength, has always been the backbone of the Song family. No matter how big the problem is, it is always resolved by her with gentle breeze and calm.

These younger generations had never seen their great-grandmother so distraught since birth.

This is the first time we've met.

Lu Ze and others waited quietly for five minutes.

Five minutes later, the great-grandmother wiped her eyes, a smile appearing on her withered cheeks. "As you get older, you tend to reminisce about the past. I hope you don't find it amusing."

Lu Ze shook his head, indicating that it was nothing to worry about.

Then it was very simple, or rather, very hasty. The matriarch glanced at Song Yuanjie, who remained silent beside her, and said to Lu Ze, "Tianhua is the next head of my Song family, and his will represents the Song family's will. I wonder if our benefactor could serve as the Supreme Elder of my Song family?"

The presence of a "benefactor" and a "supreme elder" startled Song Yuanjie and his son Song Tianhua, who couldn't help but exchange a look of shock.

For a thousand years, the Song family had never appointed a Supreme Elder. If it weren't for the ancestor's words that leaving the position vacant would be a waste, the position that had been empty for a thousand years would never have been preserved until now. Everyone had clearly forgotten about it, but the Grandmother brought it up at this moment.

It was from this moment that Lu Ze said to Song Tianhua, "I will not take on the role of Supreme Elder. From now on, just call me Mr. Lu."

Grandma remained silent for a while, then a smile appeared on her face.

"The Song family is skilled at raising spiritual creatures and will surely become Mr. Lu's right-hand man. I only hope that Mr. Lu will take good care of Tianhua in the future."

Lu Ze agreed.

Afterwards, because her grandmother was emotionally unstable, Song Yuanjie helped her back to rest.

Then, Lu Ze and Song Tianhua walked out of the Centennial Hall side by side.

……

"Are the four major families discussing important matters at the Tantai family's residence?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ze glanced at Song Tianhua, whose eyes held a hint of unease, and said, "Yan Wenchang will likely stay in the Ancient Forbidden Zone for a few days, but news can't be completely kept secret. When the news reaches their ears, Elder Song, aren't you worried that those families might have other ideas?"

"this."

Song Tianhua looked somewhat embarrassed, inwardly marveling at the other party's keen insight, as his nascent thoughts had been exposed in a single sentence.

He was indeed a little worried when he told Lu Ze that information. If the other party arranged for the Song family to accompany them to the Tantai family, then the Song family would inevitably miss the best opportunity to make arrangements around the ancient land. At that time, the so-called ancient land managers would become castles in the air.

But now that Lu Ze has suddenly asked, Song Tianhua's mind has been put at ease.

Because wise men don't speak nonsense, Mr. Lu would never speak without a purpose.

"I will follow Mr. Lu's arrangements."

In front of Mr. Lu, who was capable of killing the Ten Jia Ancestor, it's best not to have any ulterior motives. This time, Song Tianhua has completely surrendered.

The two walked and talked, with Song Tianhua appearing respectful and Lu Ze much more casual.

"What is the closest area to the burial site?"

"Changrong County has a population of approximately 60."

Who is in charge?

"The Song family, the Tantai family, and the Changsun family jointly manage it. However, there is still a straight-line distance of about 20 kilometers from the edge of Changrong County to the ancient area. The area in between is all unclaimed mountain forest, and because it is close to the ancient area, giant beasts often appear, so there are even fewer people traveling there."

"What is the maximum number of people the Song family can mobilize for infrastructure construction?"

Lu Ze asked casually, but it made Song Tianhua's breathing quicken. He replied decisively, "No less than 100,000!"

"What's the fastest time?"

"Three days... no, two days! The Song family's disciples can assemble in a single day thanks to the wooden-crowned crane."

"We have one day to mobilize to the maximum extent. The faster we act, the greater our advantage will be in this competition for resources. Elder Song should understand this principle."

"Yes!" Song Tianhua's breathing became heavy.

"First, build it according to the scale of a town. You can think of it as a training ground on the scale of a town. I don't need to elaborate on how to arrange it. Next, we just wait for the news to spread and for the other four families to come knocking. Do you have the courage to face them then?" Lu Ze walked up to a wooden-crowned crane and examined this exceptionally handsome celestial bird.

"You can't achieve great things without fighting and grabbing. The Song family may live in seclusion, but we are not afraid of trouble! Mr. Lu has entrusted this great opportunity to my Song family. If we were to hand it over to someone else, my Song family would rather just expel ourselves from the family." Song Tianhua was decisive at this moment, which showed the aura of the leader of the five major families.

"Alright, I will give you a two-month head start." Lu Ze said calmly, reaching out to stroke the feathers of the crested crane that was drinking water. Instead of getting angry and retaliating, the crane was unusually obedient, and upon closer inspection, the tips of its feathers could be seen trembling slightly.

This wooden-crowned crane is the same one that carried Song Tianhua into the ancient land; it has seen the world.

"Two months?" Song Tianhua keenly noticed this timing and couldn't help but ask.

"The passage between the Mist Plains and Earth will open, and the two worlds will be able to exchange things. Cultivators from Earth will enter the Mist Plains."

"Isn't this what the four major families have been planning?" Song Tianhua frowned. Even though the Song family had decided to mobilize the entire clan to assist Lu Ze, he couldn't remain calm when it came to matters concerning his own interests.

"They did the right thing for the wrong goal," Lu Ze said calmly, his tone not at all like he was consulting with Song Tianhua.

"The Sky Tower you see is just a projection from an unknown number of light-years away. The alien species you encountered were nothing more than extraterrestrial creatures that escaped from the spatial rifts distorted by that projection."

"When the true tower stands, all sacrifices and bans will become a joke, all fame and wealth will turn to dust. No one can stand aside, and no one can remain unscathed."

Lu Ze withdrew his hand from the wooden-crowned crane and calmly looked at Song Tianhua, "Including me."

"Mr. Lu, didn't you block that projection? How come it's still...?"

"The wheels of history will not stop for any one person. All we can do is make ourselves strong enough before that day comes."

Song Tianhua was deeply moved at that moment.

Although Lu Ze's tone remained unchanged, he could sense the sincerity in his words, and he even perceived the sense of urgency behind Lu Ze's words.

All of this combined only highlighted Lu Ze's determination to do these things.

Therefore, he did not speak to himself in a tone of negotiation; he stated a fact that was bound to happen in a tone of certainty.

If the Song family doesn't do this, then other families will.

Even if the five major families rebel at the same time, it will not hinder the opening of the passage or the entry of surface warriors. If the five major families collapse at the same time, that will be a real disaster for the Mist Plains.

At this moment, the interests of individuals, families, groups, and ultimately the entire race are all intertwined.

The unknown future cast a huge shadow over my heart in that instant.

Under the nest, have the eggs finished?

Song Tianhua made a decision in his heart, or rather, he truly understood his own heart.

"Thank you for your guidance, sir."

The middle-aged man bowed respectfully as if he were a teacher.

Then, for the first time in a thousand years, the bells of the Song family's Cuiluo Forest rang out, signifying an emergency war preparation.

……

"Today, I announce to all those in Wuyuan that the Song family has entered the world!"
