Ji City, China. In a mansion in the suburbs, at the Pan Residence.
The true person-in-charge of the Pan family, the Pan family's eldest son, Pan Liang, was currently inviting prominent families from all over the country and big shots from wealthy financial groups to attend a gathering.
"Brother Liu, I heard that your family is going to dabble into lyocell?" Pan Liang asked a middle-aged man with a greasy face next to him.
"You're quite well informed. Yes, during the moon crisis some time ago, many idiots resold estates. My family received lots of districts rich in vitality, and started to plant divine mulberry trees and raise divine silkworms, hoping to successfully settle in lyocell technology." The greasy-faced middle-aged man chuckled and said without hiding anything.
"This lyocell is an essential part of many protective artifacts. If you really succeed in it, you'll be raking in money in the future. There'll be many high-ranking people begging your prosperous corporation for it."
"Well said. Pray tell, where did Young Pan make his fortune recently?"
"A new piece of land appeared in the sky, so our family is planning to develop on it." Pan Liang raised his hand to point at the Heavenly Axiom.
"Oh, you're very ambitious. However, hasn't it already been delineated by the various gods? Can you still have a part in it?" The middle-aged man shook quite strongly at his words.
"Haha, do those people deserve to be called gods? Brother Liu, do you want to see a true god?" Pan Liang smiled faintly.
"Could it be?" The middle-aged man immediately understood, and he said in a low voice, "Brother, are you planning to introduce a god to everyone at the gathering today?"
"Brother Liu is smart. You'll be able to watch a good show soon." Pan Liang said confidently.
"In that case, I'll wait and see. Hopefully, I'll have the change to hug a big thigh." The middle-aged man's eyes shined brightly.
After a while, Pan Liang clapped his hands. All the people in the hall who were immersed in the light singing and dancing immediately quieted down.
Then, he said with a clear voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming thousands of miles to attend this meeting. You've honored me. Of course, I won't let any of you down today. I shall be introducing a great person to all of you."
"What great person could it be to make Sir Pan so prudent?" Someone asked while laughing.
"Could it be a Lake-level powerhouse?"
"What's so rare about that? Don't we see Lake-level powerhouses every day?"
"Haha, the one you're talking about is the Eastern Pharos. Of course he has to shine on us all the time, and let us bathe in his light."
"What Eastern Pharos? He's just a weirdo among the powerhouses. He never uses his strength on proper business. The only thing he does all day is catching petty thieves." Another person said in disdain.
They all knew who he was talking about. Birds of a feather flock together. None of the people who participated in Pan Liang's meeting liked Vigilante A.
His existence caused these prominent families, financial groups, and wealthy and powerful families to be unable to do as they pleased. All the plans formulated before the Era of Vitality changed and came to a premature end. They could only run away with their tails between their legs.
Although they clearly held a large amount of capital wealth, they could not transform it into high-ranking status and power. They could only lead an 'equal' life together with ordinary people, just like during the Era of Technology.
Looking at this, Pan Liang stretched out his hand and pressed down, and said, "Silence, please. I want to introduce a great person to everyone. He's from the mysterious Upper Realm. Of course, there's nothing really mysterious about the Upper Realm. After all, we're all civilized upper-class people, not like certain ignorant and short-sighted people. However, this person is so strong that it is definitely worth everyone's effort to make friends with."
"It's not like we rarely see people from the Upper Realm. Sir Pan, stop with the suspense and quickly invite this person out." Some people shouted impatiently.
They had long been looking forward to something to happen. Now, there was only one way to get past the threshold that was Vigilante A and allow them to establish the kingdom in their minds, and that was by external forces.
Over the past year, Vigilante A's glorious achievements proved time and time again that there was no one on this Earth that could stand up to him.
Perhaps there are people who can defeat him, but those people will not jump out and challenge him.
"Alright, in that case, I'll invite him out."
Pan Liang stood in the middle of the hall. He felt the gazes of all the people present focused on himself and felt particularly good about it.
The reason why he was not willing to invite the person out so quickly was that he knew that the moment he appeared, the focus of everyone's attention would shift immediately.
He fought back this feeling, closed his eyes, spread out his hands, and mumbled to himself, as if giving directions to a certain existence...
Everyone subconsciously took a few steps back and turned to look at escape routes, such as the doors and windows.
They were all modern people. Although they might be too lazy to watch science fiction, they did not have any lack of understanding and contact regarding the newest science fiction movies and technological entertainment tools.
In movies, the curious people would summon a frightening existence, and the passers-by surrounding the area would be dead meat. This was a common scenario used by screenwriters.
Every one of these people was the elite among the elite, the rich among the rich. They would naturally not commit any of the mistakes people did in films, and all made preparations to flee.
After a while, a spatial ripple faintly appeared in front of Pan Liang.
Then, a sage-like man with a white beard dressed in an ancient costume emerged from that ripple.
The man looked to be around sixty years old. His temples were gray, and he wore a green robe that seemed to have some watermarks and damages, which affected his overall aura.
However, no one dared to laugh about that point. They were not stupid. How many people in this world could use Space Diversion techniques?
They were all well-informed. As the creme of the crop of the human race, they clearly understood the importance of information. News of the various powerhouses naturally took the priority of their attention.
Those who had truly demonstrated their ability in Space Diversion were Vigilante A, Devil Lord Zhi Nan, the Bodhisattva Spirit King, and the Azure Mountain's Gu Buwei... There were only definite records of those four people.
Which one of them could they provoke?
None!
"Haha, I am the leader of the Soaring Cloud Faction, Ling Yunzi. Nice to meet all you rich and idle people." The old man smiled at the crowd, showing that he was courteous.
Everyone immediately felt reassured. At least it was not the Cthulhu that appeared, but someone that they could communicate normally with.
"So it's the Soaring Cloud Great Immortal, a sage. As expected of a superior person from the Upper Realm, you inspire hope and respect from others. It's an honor to be in your presence." A group of people bowed with a hold fist salute.
"Well said. Thanks to my young friend Pan, I was able to find this place smoothly, otherwise..." Ling Yunzi shook his head, paused, then continued, "Everyone here is an elite of this world. I wish to cooperate with you and come together for a greater cause."
At this time, Pan Liang came over and said respectfully, "Elder Immortal, everyone will be willing to agree. However, just as I communicated with you earlier, we wanted to set up a faction to rule one side, but there was a complication. Unlike the Upper Realm, the order of the world is maintained by the powerful. They advocate for equality and like to draw blood from the strong and transfuse it into the weak. They euphemistically call that 'fairness'.
"Hmph, how ridiculous." Ling Yunzi smiled at the words before stopping and saying coldly, "I know that this world of yours is a civilized and cultured land. You are all smart people, not like those barbaric and ignorant people. I'll get to the point, the Path of Longevity counts on the amount of a resource. The strong need to enrich resources in order to get stronger. It would be a hopeless endeavor for people to seek longevity if everyone were equal."
"Elder Immortal is right. Resources must be centralized in order to be used for great things. It's the same as cultivation, how can we let those poor men cultivate as well? I heard that Vigilante A even introduced a 'Nine Transformation Golden Core Technique' that everyone can cultivate. Even the Americans can learn that. Isn't he being too much of a Holy Mother?" Someone immediately followed up.
"Hmph, I've also heard of that person before. What a foolish man. He clearly has overbearing strength, but he ignores his duty all day. He can only rely on his extraordinary innate talents and be proud for a while. He doesn't know how to dig in his roots. In just a few years, he'll vanish like smoke into thin air." Ling Yunzi said disdainfully.
Hearing this, everyone immediately cheered up and sent praising glances to Pan Liang.
"Sir Pan is indeed wise to be able to rope in a superior person from the Upper Realm with our standpoint. We can relax more in the future now." Someone said in a low voice.
"That's right, with the Truth Department and Vigilante A suppressing us, we can't get the resources that are rightfully us. How many cultivation resources have been gratuitously lost? Now that we have Senior Ling Yunzi, the future looks promising."
Everyone complimented Ling Yunzi in succession, making the old man rather complacent.
He was indeed a superior person in the Upper Realm. However, one with great power cannot defeat a local villain. There were still many redeeming qualities in the Lower Realm's system. Their aspect of allocating resources was especially better than the Upper Realm's.
At the very least, they could use many tricks to mobilize the enthusiasm of the labor force. In other words, they put power first, which was something that the simple and cruel Upper Realm people had difficulty doing.
He was in need of such people to help him collect resources and revitalize the Soaring Cloud.
