The streets here are much wider than those on Earth. At first glance, it looks like a square that has no end. The square is crowded with people, and there is no end in sight.

There are no cars on the streets because vehicles and the like are not usable in the abyss.

The abyss contains a lot of spiritual energy. Any electronic product here will lose signal. Precision high-tech products will also be like "leakage" and "burn" at any time.

Only extremely high-end "magic tools"... "magic tools" that use the Abyss Spirit Crystal as energy and the "magic array" bestowed by "Gaia" as the veins, can be used in the Abyss.

But this thing is too high-end and not affordable for ordinary people.

Therefore, the Abyss and the Earth, the Earth and the Moon, are three worlds with completely different styles, as if representing the past, the present and the future respectively.

Sun Qi’s first target was naturally the Yun family.

The ancestor of Fuyao is most likely the ancestor of the Yun family.

After all, it was Yun Jiucheng who offered sacrifices.

But it’s not necessarily the case, because Yun Jiucheng also died later, and the murderer is most likely the ancestor Fuyao.

If he is really the ancestor of the Yun family, why did he want to kill Yun Jiucheng? This question naturally has no answer for the time being, but it doesn't matter. Sun Qi's goal has not changed.

Even if it wasn't the ancestor of the Yun family... As the leading family and the number one family in Daxia, it wouldn't be a bad thing for Poxiao to plant a few spies there.

The first step in placing spies...is naturally to find the Yun family first.

And this is not a difficult thing.

…

…

Yunlai Restaurant is one of the most luxurious restaurants in the south of the city.

The first-floor hall of the huge restaurant was packed with people. Waiters in uniform were walking between the booths. Many people were carrying weapons and chatting while eating.

In the center of the edge of the hall, there is a stage, which performs different shows throughout the day.

Sometimes it is traditional opera, sometimes it is pop songs, sometimes there are crosstalk, storytelling, etc.

When people of Daxia reach a certain age, their blood seems to awaken and they inexplicably begin to like opera... even if they have never heard of it before.

There are no electronic products in the abyss, but there are plenty of entertainment options.

In fact, compared to Earth where most of the time one can only play computer games, watch short videos, read novels and movies, the entertainment in the abyss is much more colorful.

Brothel services, which are illegal in many countries on Earth, are legal in the Abyss. Casinos are legal in the Abyss.

There are many more, such as super power battles, martial arts performances, 'circus', beast fighting... and so on.

It can be said that when it comes to entertainment excitement, the earth cannot compare to the abyss.

There are even more "small theaters" like Yunlai Restaurant.

Compared to the hustle and bustle of the hall, the environment in the private rooms on the second floor is obviously much better.

The wooden second floor is a pavilion that extends along the restaurant's perimeter. From any private room, by opening the window, one can see the 'small theater' below.

The floor is covered with soft carpets, the room is well-lit, and there are dedicated waiters to serve...

With the window open, you can enjoy the show; with the window closed, it becomes a private space where you can talk about things.

Comfort and privacy are good.

However, you can’t go to the second floor whenever you want, as it only accepts members of Yunlai Restaurant.

"Dongla, we are both eighteen years old, but we haven't awakened yet. According to the family's records, although super powers can be awakened at any time, the probability of awakening before the age of eighteen is much greater than after the age of eighteen... It looks like we are probably out of luck."

A young man in a grey T-shirt sat in a booth on the first floor, watching the singing, reciting, acting and fighting on the stage, but his eyes were unfocused. He suddenly smiled bitterly and sighed.

There were only two people in the booth, both young men. The other one was also staring at the stage in a trance, but he was obviously distracted. When he heard his friend's words, he came back to his senses, then smiled bitterly, took a sip of wine, and said nothing.

"The clan exam will begin in three days. We haven't awakened yet, and our vitality and mental strength aren't outstanding among our clan members... I guess after the clan exam, we'll have to work as 'coolies' in various industries... We might even have to leave Tianyuan City... I don't know if we'll have the chance to meet again in the future..."

At the end of his speech, the first person's eyes were extremely dim, and he was full of pessimism about his future.

The young man named "Donglai" was stunned for a moment, then his face became bitter and his eyes dim.

Their surname is Yun, and they are descendants of the Yun family of Daxia.

If I tell this to others, I'm afraid many people will look at me with surprise.

But in fact, they themselves knew very well that the dazzling Yun family actually had little to do with them.

Or rather... yes, but not big.

After all, they are just two insignificant illegitimate children among the hundreds of thousands of members of the Yun family.

Before the age of eighteen, they were trained and supported by their family in Tianyuan City, and received monthly salary and resources on time.

But after the age of eighteen... they will be assigned to the Yun family's assets in various cities in the abyss according to the needs of the family, and become two insignificant screws.

No different from the ordinary people around him.

Even...it might be even more tragic.

Because ordinary people can at least choose what they want to do and what they don’t want to do in the future.

But they... have no choice.

The family has raised them for eighteen years, and this is the price they should pay.

This is the truth, but when the day really comes, it will still be painful.

"Oh, it would be nice if it was a direct descendant..."

The first person suddenly murmured with a fascinated look on his face.

Direct lineage?

Donglai was stunned for a moment, and then a hint of longing appeared in his eyes.

Direct lineage...

To use a more direct term, it is called "descendants of the gods."

That is the child born after a powerful god-level being becomes a god.

Born to be on the right track.

Unlike them, although they are also members of the Yun family, they are just ordinary members of the clan and can only be included in the secondary tree.

Unless you become a god yourself, you will never be on the right track in your life.

The secondary genealogy only has a name, no life story.

For the official genealogy, a separate page should be opened to record the life story.

That in itself is glory.

In addition to glory, what is more important is status.

Those on the official genealogy are the direct descendants.

The one listed in the secondary genealogy is a concubine's child.

The difference between the resources of the direct descendants and those of the illegitimate descendants can be described as that between heaven and earth.

Every direct descendant can receive a large amount of resources from the family every month. Not only do they have exclusive slaves, protectors, mentors, book boys, practice partners, slaves and maids, and separate courtyards... they also have the opportunity to go to Earth and take charge of the family business... That is authority that is second only to one person and above ten thousand people.

And a concubine's child? Hmm...

'Exclusive slaves', 'student companions'...most of them are born out of wedlock.

Of course, it is a family after all, and illegitimate children also have the opportunity to become legitimate descendants.

That is, to become a god.

Once you become a god, you will immediately be included in the official system and become a direct descendant, and you can have all the above.

Before this, even if you have cultivated to the top ten super warrior... as long as you have not reached the god level, you are just a bastard.

Maybe the family will give you a little more resources... but compared with the direct lineage, it is too insignificant.

They knew very well how difficult this road was. Among a hundred thousand tribesmen, only one or two might be able to succeed...

It is very difficult for a super warrior to become a god.

It can be said that more than 99% of super warriors are locked at the tenth level.

Super warriors are not like super powers. Super powers have a "super power core", which is a clear path. Follow the steps, as long as the cultivation of vitality and spiritual power can keep up, you can become a god 100%.

But it is different for the super warriors. When they reach the tenth level of super warriors, without the "super energy core", there is no way forward. If they want to become gods, they must find a way by themselves.

This relies on the illusory "understanding". But this thing... no one can clearly explain what it is.

Becoming a god through martial arts and changing one's fate? ...Too difficult.

So how can such illegitimate disciples change their own destiny?

There is one and only one way...

Wake up!

Only when they awaken their superpowers and truly possess "god-level potential" can they be said to have changed their fate.

Not only do they not have to leave Tianyuan City and will not become "coolies", the family will also provide them with a large amount of resources... Although it is definitely still far less than that of the direct descendants, it is definitely much more than that of ordinary clan members.

Even if their vitality or spiritual power cannot keep up in the end, they can still become the backbone of the family.

But the awakening of super powers has no trace at all and depends entirely on luck.

And according to the records of their Yun family... more than 90% of superpowers suddenly awaken before the age of 18. Most of them are concentrated between the ages of 16 and 18.

Only 10 percent are after the age of 18.

And among this 10%, 90% awaken before the age of 30.

The remaining part is the rest...

Research over the years has found that although the awakening of super powers is not particularly closely related to vitality and mental strength, after all, some people with vitality in the single digits have awakened.

But looking at the big data, the vast majority of awakened people still have relatively strong vitality and mental strength.

Therefore, the current model came into being.

The clan examination at the age of 18 is to select those with outstanding vitality and mental strength, and then continue to raise them until they are 30 years old. After the age of 30... those who have not awakened will be assigned.

However, these people will definitely not be "coolies" at that time, but "guards".

However, the vitality and mental strength of these two boys are not strong. In the clan examination three days later, if nothing unexpected happens, they will become "coolies" and be assigned to different industries until the end of their lives...

After becoming a "coolie", the family's resources were cut off. If you want to practice again, you can only rely on yourself.

Of course, for every breakthrough, the family will give a small reward at one time.

But this little reward is just a drop in the bucket for spiritual practice.

Considering such a 'dark' future, it's no wonder that the two teenagers couldn't even watch the show on stage. They looked so worried and sighed in the end.

After a long while, the young man who spoke first suddenly let out a breath and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about these bad things... Tianyuan City also has a lot of industries. Maybe we are lucky enough to be assigned to Tianyuan City? It would not be bad to be a manager of a small store in the future. I won't say more. Let's eat quickly."

Dong Lai came back to his senses and forced a smile: "That's true... Come on, let's have a drink. We may not have the chance to eat like this again in the future..."

The boy who spoke first was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes at the other party. He said he didn't want to talk about such a bad thing, but you...

But he didn't say anything and continued eating and drinking with Donglai.

An hour later, the two of them had their fill, paid the bill and left.

But when I was leaving, I met a group of people walking in.

The leader was a handsome young man with a fair complexion. There were many people around him, including several beautiful women with smiling faces. They surrounded the handsome young man like stars surrounding the moon.

Seeing the young man, they were both stunned for a moment, subconsciously stopped, and then bowed.

The boy in the middle didn't even look at them and walked straight in. The waiters also saw him and hurried to greet him and go to the second floor.

"Yun Hanqing..."

Watching the young man who was like the center of attention go up the stairs, Yun Donglai and the other boys around him showed a hint of envy.

This is the...god-level descendant of their clan.

Born as a direct descendant.

They don't have to do anything, they are born with everything they dream of.

Obviously, they are from the same family...

The two of them sighed and finally left.

They naturally didn't notice that after they left, the middle-aged fat man who had been sitting next to them, eating alone and with a kind face, also left the restaurant...

…

…

The two young men left the Yunlai Restaurant and headed towards the courtyard of the Yun family disciples.

They are illegitimate children and do not have their own residence in Tianyuan City. They all live in the family compound.

The yard was very big, with rows of houses, each housing four people.

There are many similar courtyards in the south of Tianyuan City, and they are very close to here.

The two young men walked towards the courtyard while talking.

As he was speaking, suddenly, the world in front of Yun Donglai fell into darkness.

"Um?!"

Yun Donglai was suddenly startled and quickly looked up and around.

But I found that the whole world seemed to have lost all its light.

“Evergreen!!”

He was shocked and called out his friend's name.

But there was no response.

Just as he was filled with horror, he hadn't figured out what was going on.

The next moment, he felt a sinking sensation at the back of his head, and then the world was spinning.

His world fell into darkness...

…

Sun Qi looked at the two unconscious boys in front of him, and then looked around...

There were many pedestrians around, and some were even walking towards us.

But it seemed that none of them noticed that there were people here at all, and they continued to do their own thing.

Sun Qi looked at the two teenagers and grinned.

"You two are blessed."

He looked around and waved his hand slightly. A shadow stretched out and turned into two big hands. He grabbed the two unconscious teenagers and then walked towards the deserted alley next to him...
