Meng Chao had heard Lu Siya mention something about the origins of the nine great cultivating families.

In fact, before Dragon City crossed over, the earth in the 22nd century was already in the post-industrial or even post-information age, and the entire society was fragmented and atomized.

The traditional big family has long been broken up, and the size of the family is getting smaller and smaller. Even if four generations live under the same roof, the total number of grandparents and grandchildren will be at most seven or eight, not more than ten.

It is difficult for a so-called "family" to be born with such a single inheritance of several generations.

However, after traveling through Dragon City, it was attacked by floods, viruses, zombies, and monsters one after another. The social order fell apart, and it returned to the bloody age of the jungle and the survival of the fittest.

During those lawless and cruel years, the importance of blood, or family, gradually became apparent.

Those who are the first to awaken the extraordinary power, become the first to become stronger, and control most of the survival resources can often win the favor of double or even triple digits of the opposite sex, making their genes like the ancient emperors and the only ones among the lions.

spread like a lion.

Even the most powerful people who don't get close to the opposite sex and only like to exercise their muscles all day long often have seven, eight, or ten children.

It is common for the strongest people who are keen on reproduction to have double digits of heirs.

The problem is that even from the moment you awaken to your extraordinary power, you start working day and night to spread your branches and leaves.

A baby conceived in ten months cannot become the backbone of the family within three to five years.

The most powerful people who realized this problem imitated the wisdom of the ancients in troubled times and thought of ways to recruit adopted sons.

At that time, Dragon City was full of orphans who had lost their parents and were helpless.

Many orphans who were born and raised by nature have struggled until they are fifteen, sixteen or seven years old. They are the age when they are full of passion, brave and fierce, and dare to risk their lives against humans, zombies and monsters for half a piece of bread.

The most powerful ones adopt these orphans as adopted sons, just like the "Thirteen Taibao" in the troubled times of ancient times. With a little training, they can get a group of personal soldiers who dare to fight, fight hard, and are not afraid of death.

Relying on illegitimate and adopted sons, the initial cultivating family quickly expanded like a snowball.

To this day, the smallest family among the nine major cultivating families has hundreds of members.

Larger ones may even have thousands of elite family members.

Coupled with the nine super-enterprises jointly created by the nine major cultivating families and vassal families, as well as the suppliers, contractors, and mid-stream and downstream industrial chains that rely on the nine major super-enterprises... together they form a turbulent force that can cover the sky with one hand.

The force that determines the direction of Dragon City's progress.

Within the nine major cultivating families, the hierarchy is also very strict.

The adopted son who is not related by blood to the powerful man in the divine realm who is the patriarch of the family, and the blood descendant of the powerful man in the divine realm, although they share the same surname and seniority, there is an invisible barrier between them.

As a powerful man in the divine realm, he likes to place his adopted son and his children in various key departments and business positions to undertake practical work.

The reason is simple. The nine major cultivating families were able to stand out from the bloody era of lawlessness and lawlessness. After defeating the Blood Alliance, creating the Survival Committee, and building the Extraordinary Tower, they firmly controlled Dragon City for thirty years.

It is absolutely impossible to say that they have done nothing that violates the laws and morals of the earth.

A man will not be rich without windfall, and a horse will not be fat without night feed.

If extraordinary people don't often wander in gray areas that are inhumane to outsiders, how can they possibly obtain the astronomical number of cultivation resources required for breakthroughs and continuous upgrades?

No one in the management position of the nine super enterprises in that miracle era of barbaric growth could be completely legal and compliant, let alone be able to withstand the test of nitpicking.

For example, Shen Yulin.

As the general person in charge of the Hongxigou project, if he did not put the interests of the family before the interests of the company and the interests of the company before the interests of Longcheng, he would never be able to occupy this position.

If you want to sit in this position, you must always be prepared to take the blame for the family.

For another example, the management of pharmaceutical manufacturers who collude with Gao Chuanghang and engage in black market transactions often have such adopted sons and their children.

They are obviously not related by blood to the powerful people in the divine realm, but they just have a name, so they are so audacious that they dare to deceive the superiors and deceive others, harm the public and enrich themselves, and wantonly steal and sell non-renewable scarce resources under the eyes of the powerful gods?

Do you really think that the powerful gods in the divine realm were so deafened and blinded that they could not punish them because they were seriously injured in the fierce battle with the monster mastermind?

And the astronomical profits they made through "black market bosses" like Gao Chuang, as well as the various natural materials and treasures they plundered from the hands of mid- and low-level extraordinary beings, did they all fall into their own pockets?

The answers to these questions are too obvious.

It's so obvious that it's like the elephant in the room that no one can see.

As for the direct bloodline of a powerful person in the divine realm.

Especially those in the direct bloodline who are extremely talented and rare, and can especially win the favor of powerful people in the divine realm.

As the head of the family, a powerful person in the divine realm is reluctant to let them go out and take on practical affairs.

The more you do, the more you make mistakes.

If you do nothing, you will never make a mistake, and you will never have to worry about being caught.

These direct bloodlines have only one mission.

That is cultivation.

These days, in Dragon City, it doesn't matter how much you do, only your cultivation level is important.

Like an old scalper, he works diligently, works hard, and takes care of everything, so he has no time to practice. If something goes wrong, he will take the blame without hesitation.

Of course, it is better to turn a deaf ear to what is happening outside the window and spend all time, energy and resources on absorbing spiritual energy, polishing martial arts, devouring heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and hitting the limits of every cell and even every gene chain in the body.

As long as it can break through the limits of the human body, reach the peak of the heavenly realm or even the legendary divine realm, and become a walking humanoid nuclear bomb.

When the cake is being divided, these powerful men with absolute force in their hands can of course be at the front and get the biggest piece. They don’t have to worry about getting their hands dirty with the cream on the cake.

"I can tell you everything about the black market transactions, coupled with the core transaction data in your hand, I guarantee that you can follow the clues and uncover the management of a large number of pharmaceutical manufacturers, and even trigger a major earthquake in the nine major cultivating families, causing Weilan to

The alliance regains the upper hand in this battle."

Gao Chuang said, "But if you think that you can completely overthrow the nine major cultivating families in this way, you are too naive.

"In the end, no matter whether it's a 'black market boss' like me or the management of a pharmaceutical manufacturer, we are just insignificant branches and leaves on this big tree that blocks the sky and the sun.

"In the past few decades, this big tree has grown to the point where it is 'too big to fall.' Even if all the old branches and leaves are cut down, it won't take long for more, bigger, and denser branches and leaves to grow.

It grows again, blocks out and takes away all the sunlight, and then transmits it to the tree trunks that are deeply rooted in the earth.

"And no matter how nice you talk about 'doing the right thing' or 'better tomorrow', in reality, you can only prune branches and leaves, right?"

Gao Chuang started talking eloquently.

Although Meng Chao was mentally prepared.

Still, what Gao Chuang said personally about the black market transactions involving the nine major cultivating families made him numb with shock and dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, in the circle of extraordinary people, there are so many shady secrets regarding the collection, production and distribution of cultivation resources.

In the previous life, Dragon City was beaten to pieces by the Holy Light camp and fell into the abyss of destruction. It was really not unfair at all!

"How dare these guys be so bold?"

Meng Chao murmured, "As the patriarch of the family, a powerful person in the divine realm really doesn't care and doesn't care?"

"There is no way, even for a strong person in the divine realm!"

Gao Chuang's face was full of a broken smile, and he said, "In order to maintain the realm of being in the cold, a strong man in the divine realm would like to spend twenty-five hours a day practicing, so how can he have time to manage the daily operations of the company?

"Why don't you leave a lot of trivial matters to your adopted sons?

"The problem is, you are not a close relative, and you don't have the benefit of real money, so why should you be an old scalper who works hard and is diligent and takes the blame if you are not careful?

"A strong person in the divine realm often doesn't like the fact that his adopted sons have a stronger bloodline than their direct relatives.

"At that time, it was originally a temporary measure to recruit adopted sons.

"After decades of ups and downs, seeing that my direct relatives have grown up, the situation of those adopted sons in high positions has naturally become more and more embarrassing.

"The unique skills of a powerful man in the divine realm, as well as the unique and top-grade materials and treasures, must of course be left to his direct bloodline rather than his adopted son.

"Only the direct bloodline can inherit the major shares of the nine super enterprises and the monopoly rights in various strategic fields.
