In the Lin Family's Floating City, all the family members stared at the massive Void Battleship that slowly descended from the sky. One by one, the Children of the True Gods approached the Floating City and stood guard nearby like soldiers. Among them, there was no lack of True Gods who were even stronger than the Patriarch.
No, these were soldiers. They were in standard uniforms and had a Void Battleship exclusive to the military. This was an elite group of soldiers.
At this time, they already knew that the Zhang Family had been completely wiped out. If it were any other time, they would definitely be discussing it excitedly. However, no one was discussing this today. Instead, they were all anxiously waiting in the Floating City, waiting for the arrival of an unknown big shot.
Patriarch Lin Youde frowned as he looked at the True Gods in the sky. He then lowered his head and asked Colonel Chen Yongming who was standing beside him with a smile,
"Colonel Chen, these are all regular battleships. Is there a big shot coming here?"
Chen Yongming nodded and said,
"Indeed, there is a big shot coming here. This is why I came to the Lin Family today."
The core members of the Lin Family pricked up their ears. Second Uncle Lin Zhanghong cupped his fist and asked,
"I wonder if Colonel Chen can reveal this information in advance so that we can welcome them later and avoid being impolite."
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
Chen Yongming laughed and said,
"You don't have to welcome him. Just wait here."
Everyone was even more confused and anxious.
They wanted to prepare, but the big shot's aircraft had already arrived. There was no time. Patriarch Lin Youde secretly sent a message to his family members, "There will be a big shot coming soon.
Everyone, be alert. Take care of the children so that they don't get into trouble. Also, Haolin, go prepare the First Mage Tower. If the big shot wants to stay, it will be convenient for him to stay. "
Lin Haolin nodded and quietly retreated to leave. But as soon as he took a step back, he was stopped by Chen Yongming.
"You can't leave."
Patriarch Lin said apologetically, "Colonel Chen, please excuse me.
We didn't prepare for the arrival of a big shot. I'll get my grandson to prepare. "
Chen Yongming looked at the aircraft and smiled.
"We're family. There's no need to prepare. Besides, I've never heard of a father preparing for his son."
"Even if that's the case, we can't lose it …"
Lin Youde's voice suddenly stopped. Like everyone else, he tilted his head and looked at Colonel Chen Yongming. His eyes were filled with doubt, "Did I hear you wrong? Say that again."
Chen Yongming smiled and pointed to the landing aircraft.
"Brother, listen to me. Just wait."
At this moment, they already had a thought of disbelief in their hearts. Quite a few of them were true gods, and there was no way that they couldn't hear clearly. It was just that these words were truly beyond the scope of their imagination, and they didn't dare to believe it for a moment.
The aircraft landed, and the hatch opened. Two True God soldiers walked out and stood by the door. Soon, Lin Xiao and Xie Yufei appeared in front of them.
There was a soft exclamation in the square. Chen Yongming gave the people of the Lin family, who were still in shock, a look. He adjusted his military uniform and strode to Lin Xiao, shouting loudly,
"Chen Yongming of the AX-14 Crystal Wall System Main Base greets Division Commander Lin Xiao!"
He moved slightly to the side and faced Xie Yufei.
"Greetings, Major General Xie Yufei!"
Lin Xiao raised his hand and returned the salute.
"You've worked hard!"
"Not at all!"
"Yes!"
Lin Xiao nodded. He raised his head and looked at the people of the Lin family who were all shocked and couldn't suppress their joy, especially his mother, who was covering her mouth in surprise. He smiled and waved his hand, shouting,
"Mom!"
Jin Yunzhu was so excited that she couldn't speak. She never thought that the unknown big shot that everyone was guessing was actually her son. This grandeur, this majesty, was completely beyond her imagination.
It wasn't until Lin Xiao called her mom for the second time that she replied under the envious gazes of the other sisters-in-law. Suddenly, she felt that the whole world had brightened up.
Soon, the news that Lin Haolin's son was already a general with real power in the fifth theater of operations spread throughout the family. The whole family was in an uproar.
Everyone looked at his military uniform and the three gold stars enviously. The huge void fleet in the sky, the fortress of the Truth Godly Palace that covered most of the plane outside the crystal wall, and the hundreds of true gods under him. Many people were so excited that they couldn't speak. Other than exclaiming, they were also happy, and they also had a heated discussion.
It was one of the best things in life to return to one's hometown.
Compared to the family members who had been in a state of excitement, the higher-ups of the family gradually calmed down. They pulled Lin Xiao and Xie Yufei back to the Master Tower in the center of the floating city. Xie Yufei was pulled aside by her mother early on, while Lin Xiao and the elders of the family went to the meeting hall.
Chen Yongming, Lieutenant Colonel Sun Chenhua, and a few others who had been on good terms with the family over the years went to the side hall. This was an internal family meeting, so they were outsiders and couldn't participate.
"I didn't expect the small Lin family to have such a big dragon. How enviable!"
Sun Chenhua took a sip of tea and looked at the stairs with envy.
Colonel Chen Yongming nodded and said,
"There's no point in being envious, but we've formed a good relationship. Maybe we can be transferred back to the front line in the future."
The main hall on the second floor was quiet.
The family leader, Lin Qirong, Lin Zhanghong, Lin Chenglei, Lin Haolin, Lin Xuan, and the actual decision-makers of the family were all there. They all looked at Lin Xiao with complicated expressions and didn't speak for a long time.
After a long time, the family leader said with uncontrollable joy,
"Lin Xiao, Wu Lin Clan's qilin child!"
Lin Xiao's Great Uncle, who didn't have a good relationship with the family in his memory, said with a flushed face.
"I've always thought that Xiao 'er was promising, but I didn't expect him to be more promising than I thought."
Lin Qirong's Second Uncle remained reserved and congratulated him, while his grandfather laughed and showed off to his brothers with a smug face.
"See, my son is now an apotheosis, and my grandson is even more powerful. None of you can compare to me in this regard."
The brothers were speechless and couldn't refute, because Lin Xiao was indeed the only apotheosis in his generation, and he surpassed the whole family.
Now, in the second generation of the family, Second Uncle was the only True God, and there were three in the third generation. They were Second Uncle's second son Lin Xuan, Lin Xiao's father, and Lin Xu. Although Lin Xu was the same age as Lin Xiao, in terms of seniority, he was indeed the third generation, and in the fourth generation, he was the most promising one.
Everyone praised him one after another. Lin Xiao sat down quietly and listened.
At this time, he was in the family, so he didn't need to maintain his status and dignity.
However, this was normal. When they finished talking about family matters and got down to business, Lin Xiao didn't hesitate to maintain his strength and said to the elders of the family present,
"Before I came back, I've already made suitable arrangements for the family. Elders, please listen first."
The family leader nodded and said, "Be quiet.
Let's listen to Xiao 'er's arrangements first. "
Lin Xiao said,
"There's an old saying in ancient Huaxia, 'When a man achieves the Dao, even his chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven'. It's a bit inappropriate to describe it like this, but it's true. When Xiao 'er becomes rich, the family will naturally benefit. This is a matter of course, but there must be a rule for everything. We can't act recklessly."
Grandpa nodded repeatedly.
"Xiao 'er, it's good that you have this intention. Grandpa will support you no matter what."
"Thank you, Grandpa!"
Lin Xiao continued.
"I know that many young people in the family are full of expectations at this time, and I also know what everyone is thinking, but I want to say that it's difficult to do as they wish. The army is different from other places, especially when I'm in charge of a frontline combat division. We often have to fight in foreign lands, and we have always respected strength. Even the garrison officers in the occupied areas need to have a certain level of strength. They don't have strength, and they don't have special skills, so they can't convince the people at all."
Grandpa nodded and asked, "We understand.
"We all understand that. I will do work for my clansmen. What do you think we should do?"
What Grandpa meant was that even if they knew, they wouldn't let him forcibly arrange positions for the family. But since he was returning home in such a high-profile manner, he had to give the family some benefits. Otherwise, he would just come back to show off.
Lin Xiao was already prepared.
"There's still a huge gap in my direct Giant God Legion. I'll select some young people from the family and start with the reserves. As long as they perform well, promotion will be very simple."
"Of course, if you don't want to join my Giant God Legion, you can also join other troops in the war zone. I'll help you greet them."
Lin Xiao had a complete set of arrangements for the young people of the family. Whether they were willing to follow him or wanted to go outside, he would help provide them with additional resources as long as they were willing.
The premise was that they could endure hardships and persevere. He could help, but they also had to be able to make a name for themselves. If they couldn't make a name for themselves with more resources and care than others, then there was no other way.
It was quite common in the Main World to take care of one's own family after becoming rich. As long as there were people, as long as there was selfishness, this situation was unavoidable, and he was no exception.
No matter how strong a person was, they still needed help from others. How could outsiders be better than their own people, especially in an era where the concept of clans was deeply rooted in people's hearts?
Of course, this kind of help was limited. At the very least, it couldn't affect himself. Moreover, when the younger generation of the family grew up one after another, the family would have accumulated a certain amount of territory and power, and a perfect mechanism for cultivating young people had been formed internally. At that time, he would slowly let go.
A powerful family didn't grow overnight, but slowly developed from generation to generation.
With him as a backer, the Lin family could save who knew how many generations of time.
Lin Xiao stayed in the family for half a year, spending a lot of time and resources to repair the family's abandoned floating city. He repaired the damaged magic circles on it, built more wizard towers on it, and finally took out a Netherese core and installed it.
This Netherese core wasn't for his private use. He had several Netherese cores in his hands, and no one would say anything if he privately gave one to his own family.
With this floating city as a foundation, as long as he didn't go overboard, the family could slowly grow step by step even without him. At the very least, an ordinary plane cluster wouldn't be able to withstand the attack of a floating city presided over by four true gods.
