In the past, he had thought about finding Wan Ying. After all, she was a pretty and cute girl. Her strength was not weak and she was pleasing to the eye. Other than her small chest, she had no other shortcomings. If they got along well, she might become his girlfriend in the future.
However, he did not expect her to die after a few interactions. Fate was too unpredictable.
"Life …"
Lin Xiao sighed as he lay on the flying car. He had already arrived at the Lin Family Fort's Fourth Branch. He got off the car and was about to walk into the alley when a man and a woman came out of the alley. Seeing him, the man was stunned for a moment before waving and smiling.
"Little Six, you're back?"
He nodded and replied with a smile on his face, "That's right.
"Yes, Eldest Cousin."
The man was his uncle's son, Lin Kun. He did not recognize the woman, but seeing how close they were, he guessed that she was his girlfriend.
He did not know if it was a coincidence or not, but the names of the previous generation's uncles were all three characters, while the names of their generation were all two characters. It was the same whether it was the cousins or the peers of the other branches.
The relationship between Lin Xiao and this Eldest Cousin … was a little complicated.
It was not bad. After all, they were cousins. However, it was not that good either.
The reason was the trivial matters of the big families that they did not talk about. At the end of the day, it was all for the sake of benefits.
In an ordinary family, there were many brothers fighting for the family property, not to mention the big families. Their grandfather and grandfather were still alive, so there was no way to fight for the family property. However, there was a competition for resources. Every year, the entire family's public territory would be distributed.
In particular, those rare resources that were useful to high-level Demigods or even True God-level were the focus of the uncles of the various branches and sects.
After all, no matter which branch, there were high-level Demigods who had hopes of ascending to godhood. They all yearned to successfully ignite the Divine Fire and ascend to godhood. However, there were only so many resources. How to distribute them was a big problem.
Speaking of which, the second branch where the Second Granduncle was from had the most. Among the five branches, the second branch had to get close to half. This was because the Second Granduncle had already ascended to godhood and was the second True God in the family. He was strong and contributed the most, so naturally, he got the most.
However, the other brothers felt that it was too little and were dissatisfied.
As a result, the internal affairs of the family were not harmonious.
Fortunately, the Old Ancestor was still alive, and the family had two True Gods guarding it. The internal conflicts were still stabilized to a certain extent, and with the pressure of external enemies, the situation was still relatively stable.
But even so, the relationships between the various branches of the Lin Family Fort were not that good. Young people from different branches rarely interacted with each other.
Lin Xiao had an average relationship with his cousins. It was neither good nor bad. Usually, when they met, they would greet each other, and there was no other interaction. Especially as everyone gradually grew up and became gods, their need for resources increased. This kind of relationship became colder and colder.
They were familiar strangers in the same castle.
Sometimes, Lin Xiao felt that it would be better for the family to split up and live their own lives. That way, the relationship between the brothers would be better …
It was possible. No one could be certain about this kind of thing. It was also possible that they would really break up. The accumulated conflicts in the past would suddenly erupt, and it was not impossible that they would no longer interact with each other.
Anyway, Lin Xiao was not optimistic about this kind of situation. As the young people of his generation grew up, this kind of conflict would gradually sharpen. In the future, there were only two possibilities for the development of the family. One was that the conflict was so big that even the Old Ancestor could not suppress it, and they would eventually split up.
The other possibility was that the Second Granduncle's strength would surpass the Old Ancestor's, and the Old Ancestor might be willing to let the Second Granduncle take charge of the family.
Speaking of which, living for too long was also a kind of trouble under certain circumstances. The Old Ancestor had established the family for two thousand years, and he had been in charge of the family for two thousand years. His sons also wanted to make a name for themselves, especially the Second Granduncle who had been apotheosized for a few hundred years. He had been the Crown Prince for a few hundred years, and he could not hold it in any longer.
He chatted casually with his Eldest Cousin Brother for a while and then parted ways. If it was in the past, his Eldest Cousin Brother would definitely drag him along to show off. This time, it was probably because he had a new girlfriend and was a little busy, so he did not have the time to chat with him.
Entering this alley, there were all relatives or friends related to the fourth branch. He more or less recognized them, and when he saw them, he had to greet them.
After arriving at the end of the alley, which was a few hundred meters long, there was a back street that was more than ten meters wide. After passing through the back street, the ground changed from cement to a square made of stone slabs. Behind a bush, there was a garden surrounded by tall and thick stone walls. There was a villa and two small buildings inside. This was Lin Xiao's home.
Standing in front of the gate and scanning, the gate quietly opened. As soon as he stepped through the gate, a fresh smell hit him in the face. At the same time, the sound of flapping wings came from behind his head. He turned around and saw an owl covered in a faint green radiance of life fly over and land on his shoulder. It tilted its head and lightly pecked his collar, speaking in a young girl's voice.
"Little Master, you're back!"
"En, where's my mother?"
He smiled and reached out to stroke the owl. She was like a kitten, half-squinting her eyes and shrinking her head, looking like she was enjoying it.
This was his mother's pet, a divine owl. It was a young girl with a sweet voice, but because of the terrifying suppression of the Main World, all of her power could not be displayed. She looked like a beautiful owl.
In the Main World, only demigods could display some of their extraordinary power. Everyone below the demigod level was suppressed to the point that they could not display any extraordinary power.
While enjoying his stroke, the owl tilted its head and rubbed against him, saying in a crisp voice, "Little Master, I've prepared some food for you.
"Master went to prepare delicious food for Little Master. He'll be back soon."
Lin Xiao's heart was immediately filled with warmth.
Walking in the garden with the owl on his shoulder, he saw fresh flowers everywhere. A faint mist shrouded the garden, and the air was very fresh. It was like a different world from the outside.
In the corner of the garden, there were many strange-looking statues. They were all stone puppets that foreign wizards liked to use to guard wizard towers or floating cities. Because they were lifeless puppets, the suppression of the Main World had little effect on them. Generally, they could display more than 70% of their combat power. Demigods liked to use them to guard their homes.
At this time, the stone puppets were all in a state of deep sleep. They looked like statues. Misty rain sprinkled down, and flowers surrounded their feet. It looked quite artistic.
His mother had two Divine Roles: Rainy Season and Growth. Rainy Season was the prerequisite for the four seasons and climate Divine Roles, while Growth was the prerequisite for the two powerful Divine Roles of Fertility and Life. It could easily adjust the climate and make the Divine Domain's climate more suitable for the growth of life. Combined with the Growth Divine Role, it was very powerful in the Divine Domain's farming.
The garden was full of beautiful flowers that were rarely seen outside. His mother did not have any other hobbies, but she liked to plant flowers and plants, among which there was no lack of extraordinary things.
This was the Main World, and many things could not be displayed. Lin Xiao had heard from his mother that she had carefully cultivated a flower field in her Divine Domain. She had raised many flower fairies, and one of them had been bestowed with a little divinity to become a divine creature. It had many very magical abilities.
After walking around the garden and admiring the beautiful flowers that his mother had carefully planted, Lin Xiao's mood was much better.
He entered the villa through the side door at the back of the garden. As soon as he entered, a clear light appeared in front of him and turned into the outline of his mother.
She said warmly, "Son, wait at home for a while. I'll get you something good."
After saying that, the clear light disappeared. Lin Xiao touched his chin. If he didn't guess wrongly, his mother had probably told him a long time ago that if his results were good and he could enter the elite class, she would give him a surprise. It must be that.
He was still looking forward to it. His mother had prepared for so long, so it must be something good. He just did not know what it was.
His mother was not at home, and his father was not at home all year round. Lin Xiao did not know what to do. After taking a shower, he saw Owl carrying a fruit basket over. It was full of fresh fruits.
He casually picked up a bunch of grapes and took a bite. He opened the Internet and a wall-sized screen unfolded. He found an entertainment website and started browsing.
It was boring.
After browsing for a while, an image attracted his attention.
Well, to be precise, it was the title that attracted his attention — Canaan Plane's Gods College's First Enrollment Guide.
"The first batch?"
He raised his eyebrows and clicked on it with interest. After carefully browsing the content, his face showed a look of realization.
As Sui Xiong had expected, this was a new and powerful Divine System announcing its existence.
According to the default rules, any God System that could stand firm in any main plane of a foreign crystal wall system and rule many surrounding subsidiary planes would be qualified to communicate with Gaia's will and open up the passage between the main world and the main plane of the foreign crystal wall, allowing the ordinary people of the main world to enter and colonize the foreign world.
Of course, colonization was a very broad term, and it was also a very time-consuming job. Before colonization, the powerful God System would establish an academy in the main world and the main plane under its rule to recruit students.
Among them, the academy in the main world naturally recruited players with Divine Dominion. In other words, high school seniors could apply for this academy in the future, which was equivalent to a new university. Now, all the major academies were like this. Each academy was equivalent to a huge God System that ruled a huge group of main planes.
In the foreign main plane under its rule, ordinary people who could not become Divine Dominion players were recruited. They were taught various power systems in the foreign world, such as Warriors, Knights, Mages, and other common power systems, just like in novels.
From Level 1 Mages to Level 2 Mages, then to Level 6 Advanced Mages, Level 8 Legends, Level 10 Demigods, and so on.
That's right, if ordinary people could not establish a Divine Dominion and become Divine Dominion players, it was not completely impossible. They could still take this path.
However, this path meant that they had to pay a huge price. The path of growth was also very difficult. They needed countless battles that could kill them at any time to grow step by step. Although in theory, they could grow all the way to Legend, Demigod, and ignite the Godfire to become a True God, the difficulty was very, very high. It was far more difficult than Divine Dominion players.
After all, Divine Dominion players were divine creatures when they established their Divine Dominion. After accumulating enough divinity, they would become Demigods. Although it was a little difficult, it was much easier than the path of ordinary people.
