In the Lin family floating city, all the clan members stared in amazement at the super-large void battleship slowly descending from the sky. One after another, the sons of the true god-level divine realm approached the floating city where the family was located and stopped nearby to stand guard like soldiers. Among them were true gods who were even more powerful than the family patriarch.
No, these are soldiers. The standard uniforms and the military's exclusive void battleships all indicate that they are soldiers of an elite regiment.
At this time, they already knew the news that the Zhang family had been completely annihilated. Under normal circumstances, they would have discussed it excitedly, but today, no one discussed it. Instead, they all stayed quietly in the family's floating city, anxiously waiting for the unknown big man to arrive.
Clan leader Lin Youde frowned as he looked at the true gods in the sky, then lowered his head and asked Colonel Chen Yongming, who was standing beside him with a smile:
"Colonel Chen, these are all regular regiments. Could it be that some important person is here?"
Chen Yongming nodded and said:
"Indeed, there is an important person here. This is why I came to Heyalin today."
Several core members of the Lin family pricked up their ears. Second uncle Lin Changhong clasped his fists and asked,
"I wonder if Colonel Chen could reveal it in advance so that we can welcome him later to avoid being impolite."
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
Chen Yongming laughed and said:
"You don't need to greet them, just wait here."
Everyone was even more confused and worried.
They wanted to prepare, but the flying vehicle of the important person had already arrived, and there was no time. The clan leader Lin Youde secretly sent a message to the clan members:
"An important person will arrive later, everyone should be alert and keep an eye on the children to avoid collision. Also, Haolin, go and prepare to clean up the No. 1 Mage Tower in case the important person wants to stay and move in."
Lin Haolin nodded and quietly stepped back to leave, but just as he took a step back, Chen Yongming stopped him and said:
"You can't leave."
Chief Lin said apologetically:
"Please forgive me, Commander Chen. I am really not prepared for the arrival of the chief. I will ask my grandson to prepare it."
Chen Yongming looked at the falling aircraft and smiled:
"We are all family, so why should we prepare anything? Besides, I've never heard of a father preparing anything for his son."
"That being said, we can't lose it anyway."
Lin Youde's voice suddenly stopped, and like everyone else, he tilted his head to look at Colonel Chen Yongming, his eyes full of doubt as to "Did I hear it wrong? Say it again."
Chen Yongming smiled slightly, pointed at the landing aircraft and said:
"Brother, listen to me and just wait."
At this time, they already had a thought of disbelief in their hearts. Many of them were true gods, so it was not possible that they could not hear clearly. It was just that these words were really beyond their imagination, and they could not believe it for a while.
The aircraft landed, the hatch opened, and two True God soldiers walked out and stood by the door. Soon Lin Xiao appeared in front of them holding Xie Yufei.
A light cry suddenly rang out in the square. Chen Yongming glanced at the Lin family members who were still in shock, straightened his uniform, strode forward to Lin Xiao, and shouted loudly:
"Chen Yongming, the general base of the AX-14 Crystal Wall System in the war zone, greets His Excellency Lin Xiao, the division commander!"
He moved slightly sideways to face Xie Yufei:
"Meet Xie Yufei!"
Lin Xiao raised his hand and saluted in return:
"Thank you for your hard work!"
"It's not hard!"
"Um!"
Lin Xiao nodded, raised his head and looked at his fellow tribesmen who were all shocked and couldn't suppress their joy, especially his mother who was covering her mouth with her hands in surprise. He smiled slightly, waved his hand and shouted:
"Mom!"
Jin Yunzhu was so excited that she was speechless. She never expected that the unknown big shot that everyone speculated about was actually her own son. This pomp and majesty were exactly what she had imagined.
It was not until Lin Xiao called her "Mom" for the second time that she responded amid the envious looks and push and pull of the other aunts and sisters-in-law around her. Suddenly, she felt that the whole world became bright and colorful.
Soon, the news that Lin Haolin's son had become a powerful figure in the Fifth War Zone spread throughout the clan, and the entire family was in an uproar.
Everyone looked at his neat military uniform and the three golden stars with envy, the huge void fleet in the sky, the Temple of Truth fortress that spanned the crystal wall of the plane and covered most of the plane, and hundreds of true god-level subordinates. Many people were so excited that they were speechless, and all they could express were sighs, joy, and heated discussions.
Returning home rich and noble is one of the most beautiful things in life.
Compared to the tribesmen who were still in a state of excitement, the emotions of the family leaders gradually calmed down. They pulled Lin Xiao and Xie Yufei back to the magician tower in the center of the floating city. Xie Yufei was pulled aside early by her mother, while Lin Xiao and the elders of the clan went to the meeting room.
Chen Yongming, Lieutenant Colonel Sun Chenhua and others who had been on good terms with the family over the years went to the side hall, as this was an internal family meeting and they were outsiders and could not participate.
"I didn't expect that the small Lin family would produce a big dragon. How enviable!"
Sun Chenhua took a sip of tea and looked towards the stairs with some envy.
Colonel Chen Yongming nodded and said:
"You can't envy me, but we have formed a good relationship. Maybe I can be transferred back to the front line in the future."
The main hall on the second floor was quiet.
The clan leader, great uncle Lin Qirong, second uncle Lin Changhong, grandfather Lin Chenglei, father Lin Haolin, second uncle's second son Lin Xuan, the actual decision-makers of the family were all present. They looked at Lin Xiao with complicated expressions and did not speak for a long time.
After a long time, the patriarch said with uncontrollable joy:
"Lin Xiao, the Qilin son of our Lin family!"
In Lin Xiao's memory, the great uncle who had a bad relationship with the family also said with a bright face:
"Since I was a child, I felt that Xiao Xiao had a promising future. I didn't expect that he would be more promising than I thought."
Second uncle still maintained his reserved congratulations, while grandfather laughed loudly and showed off to his brothers with a proud face:
"See? My son is now a god, and my grandson is even more powerful. None of you can compare to me in this respect."
The brothers were speechless and unable to refute, because Lin Xiao was indeed the only one in his generation who was deified, and he surpassed the entire clan.
Now there is only one true god in the second generation of the family, the second uncle, and three in the third generation, namely the second uncle's second son Lin Xuan, Lin Xiao's father, and Lin Xu. Although Lin Xu is the same age as Lin Xiao, he is indeed the third generation in terms of seniority, and he is the most promising one in the fourth generation.
Everyone was praising him one after another, and Lin Xiao sat quietly listening.
Now that they were within the family, he didn't need to maintain his status and dignity.
But this is also normal. After the family chat, Lin Xiao maintained his dominance without hesitation and said to the elders of the clan present:
"I have already made appropriate arrangements for the family before I come back. Elders, please listen first."
The clan leader nodded and said,
"Everyone, be quiet and listen to Xiao Xiao'er's arrangements first."
Lin Xiao said:
"There is an old saying that if one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit. This description is a little inappropriate, but it is true. If Xiao Xiaoer becomes successful, the family will benefit. This is only natural. But there must be a rule for everything. We can't just do it haphazardly."
Grandpa nodded repeatedly after hearing this:
"Xiao Xiao'er, it's a good idea. I will support you as a grandpa."
"Thank you, Grandpa!"
Lin Xiao continued:
"I know that many young people in the tribe are full of expectations at this time. I also know what everyone is thinking, but I want to say that it is probably difficult for them to get what they want. The army is different from other places, especially now that I am in charge of the front-line combat division. We often need to fight in foreign lands. Strength has always been respected. Even the garrison officers in the occupied areas need a certain level of strength. They have no strength and no special skills, so they can't convince others at all."
Grandfather nodded after listening and asked,
"We all understand this. I will do the work for the tribesmen. What do you think is the way to do it?"
What my grandfather meant was that even if they knew, they would not let him force positions on the clan members. But since you are returning home in such a high-profile manner, you should at least give some benefits to the clan members. Otherwise, are you coming back just to show off?
Lin Xiao was well prepared and said,
"There is still a huge gap in the Giant God Regiment under my direct command. I will select some young people from the tribe and start with the reserve. As long as they perform well, it will be very easy to be promoted."
"Of course, if you don't want to join my direct Giant God Regiment, you can also join other troops in the war zone. I will help say hello."
Lin Xiao has a complete set of arrangements for the young members of the tribe. Whether they are willing to follow him or want to go out and make a living, he will help provide additional resources as long as they are willing.
The prerequisite is that they can endure hardships and persevere. He can help, but they also have to be able to succeed on their own. If they can't get up even with more resources and care than others, then there is nothing that can be done.
It is quite common in the main world for people to take care of their families after becoming rich. As long as there are people and as long as there are selfish motives, this situation is unavoidable, and he is no exception.
No matter how strong a person is, he still needs help from others. Outsiders are never as good as one's own people, especially in an era when clan concepts are deeply rooted in people's minds.
Of course, this kind of help is limited, at least it cannot affect himself. Moreover, when the younger generation or the next few generations of the family have grown up, the family has accumulated a certain amount of territory and power, and has formed a complete mechanism for cultivating young members internally, then he will slowly let go.
A strong family is not built overnight, but develops slowly from generation to generation.
With him as their backer, the Lin family can save countless generations of time.
Lin Xiao stayed in the family for half a year, and spent a lot of time and resources to repair the family's abandoned floating city, repair the damaged magic array on it, build more magic towers on it, and finally take out a Naiser energy core and install it.
This Nether energy core is not for his personal use. He already has several Nether energy cores in his hands. No one can gossip if he gives one to his family privately.
With this floating city as his foundation, as long as he doesn't waste time, he can grow slowly step by step even without his family. At least ordinary plane groups can't withstand the attack of the floating city presided over by the four true gods.
