A Big Family

Above the plaza, Xu Qing stood with his hands behind his back, cleared his throat, and said, "Everyone, I'm sure you've all heard of me. I am the Azure Dragon King, also known as the Rainbow King, and I have a small reputation in the Outer-Region Battlefield."

"Although that little bit of fame is not worth mentioning, I, the Azure Dragon King, am a person who likes to make friends. As a great man once said, 'Is it not delightful to have friends coming from afar?'"

"I think my arrival is what I'm here for, and I feel very gratified and happy."

"Rest assured, everyone, I, the Azure Dragon King, will make many friends with you all and strive to make this place a harmonious and wonderful family where everyone can live together in peace."

After speaking, Xu Qing bowed very politely to the audience.

Shock!

The Alien Race were dumbfounded. This Rainbow King was completely redefining their understanding of the world, managing to say shameless things in such a refreshing and unconventional way, turning right and wrong upside down.

Doesn't he mean, "Now that I'm here, you're all doomed"?

"Pfft..." Luo Feng couldn't help but laugh.

The Human Race experts nearby were dumbfounded. Was this the legendary tyrant of the Outer-Region Battlefield, the Rainbow King? He was too awesome.

"Don't worry, I will definitely uphold the principles of unity, friendship, and mutual help, and build this place into a paradise. Under the glow of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, we will all become one family. I firmly believe this."

"However, my personal strength is ultimately too small, so I hope everyone can cooperate with me and contribute their small share to this family."

"Starting tomorrow, I will officially launch the Beautiful Family Construction Plan. Everyone, the construction of this wonderful family cannot be achieved without your support. I ask for your continued support in my work. I, the Azure Dragon King, thank you."

Xu Qing spoke with great emotion and sincerity; if one didn't know who he was, they would definitely believe him.

However, those present had already witnessed it, so of course they couldn't believe him.

Besides, what perfect family? They come from various races in the universe and are inherently hostile. They just gathered together to cultivate in the territory of the Ancestral God Sect.

Even if they leave the area of Five-Colored Aurora Lake, they are very likely to face each other in life or death.

Become friends? Become family? Only a fool would say something like that.

"Can someone provide me with a list? I need to see how many people are in my family. We're starting to build our wonderful family tomorrow, so I need to come up with a plan as soon as possible," Xu Qing called out.

Everyone was speechless; he was going to do it for real.

"No, something's fishy here. He's asking for the list; it's definitely not for anything good. Don't pay him any attention," many people realized this.

"I have the list you need here," Luo Feng offered his assistance immediately.

Just kidding, how could his brother-in-law not know what Xu Qing was planning? He had to give him a strong boost.

"Good, as expected of the King Daohe, the collective consciousness is truly powerful, he deserves praise," Xu Qing shouted, and then accepted the list.

"I have some here too, though not complete, but still usable for comparison," the Human Race experts immediately stepped forward.

"Not bad, not bad. It seems that the Human Race has a stronger sense of collectivism, unlike some other races that come to the Ancestral God Sect and do nothing but fleece and eat, just like pigs," Xu Qing said sarcastically.

Those Alien Race were furious, but dared not retaliate, for that would give Xu Qing an excuse to cause trouble.

"Tomorrow will be the first day of building our wonderful family. Let's look forward to it!" Xu Qing smiled mysteriously at everyone, then swaggered away.

"His smile gave me goosebumps," one of the Alien Race shuddered.

"Me too, I don't know what he's up to," the person next to him felt the same way and started to get scared.

Back at their lodgings, Xu Qing had Akaro compile the list, separating those from different factions and further dividing them according to the strength of their respective ethnic groups.

"Xiao Qing, what are you going to do? This is the Ancestral God Sect after all. It won't be so easy for you to rob them. If they hide in their palace and ignore you, there's nothing you can do about it," Luo Feng said.

No one is allowed to enter anyone's residence without the owner's permission, and the Five-Colored Aurora Lake monitors this.

"Brother-in-law, haven't you heard the saying that 'the monk can run away but the temple can't?' If the monk is hiding in the temple, that's even better. I have plenty of ways to deal with him," Xu Qing had already come up with an idea.

Luo Feng could roughly guess what Xu Qing would do; he would just act like a rogue and see how long they could hide.

"I'll start with the affiliated groups of those factions, since they're less likely to band together for mutual support. Then I'll deal with the main forces," Xu Qing had a clear plan.

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng knew that the matter was almost certainly settled.

The next day, Xu Qing set off early in the morning.

He arrived outside the palace Immortal an Immortal of Alien Race. This Alien Race came from the Zerg faction, but was not Zerg, but rather a subordinate race of the Zerg.

Xu Qing raised his hand and knocked hard on the door. "Good brother, open the door, I'm here to see you."

A moment later, the door opened, and the man's face turned green when he saw it was Xu Qing. "Rainbow King, what are you doing here? You're not welcome here, leave!"

"That won't do. Today is the first day of the Beautiful Family Construction Plan. You are honored to be the first guest, and you must set an example and contribute to building this wonderful family."

"If you refuse, you will be undermining unity. I will represent everyone in trying to influence you with love until the day you come to your senses," Xu Qing said sternly.

"You..." This Alien Race Immortal was so angry he was practically fuming. What kind of loving influence was this? It was more like torture.

He knew very well that if he dared to refuse, he would never have a good life again.

"What exactly do you want me to do?" This Immortal being from another Alien Race was incredibly frustrated. Was it easy for him to come to the Ancestral God Sect to cultivate? How did he have to run into such a jinx?

"Let's sit down and talk slowly," Xu Qing said with a smile.

Left with no other option, the other party invited Xu Qing inside.

A dozen minutes later, Xu Qing walked out with satisfaction. "King Luoka, from today onwards, you are my good friend, the Azure Dragon King. Our friendship will make this big family better and better."

Inside the palace, King Luoka was so angry upon hearing this that he almost vomited blood. He had spent most of his fortune to deal with this scourge.

Next, Xu Qing continued visiting doors, knocking on each one.

Xu Qing initially targeted people from the subordinate groups of the major camps. They were weak and had not been closely connected with their own camps, making it easy to force them to submit.

Xu Qing knew to pick the soft persimmons to squeeze first, and then he would squeeze the hard ones, so he could squeeze them accurately every time.

In half a day, Xu Qing had easily subdued dozens of people.

For this reason, Xu Qing specially built a chat room for them called the "Good Friends Chat Room," because they are now all good friends of the Azure Dragon King.

Furthermore, Xu Qing promised to resolve some of their problems, and depending on the situation, it could even be done free of charge.

This is called giving them a slap on the wrist and then a sweet treat; this way, you can better control them.

"Don't tell anyone, everyone. Let me invite more friends in," Xu Qing specifically instructed in the group chat.

He's so blatant because people only feel at peace when they see others suffer.

As the days went by, it seemed that not many people knew about Xu Qing's visits to each door, and not many people talked about it.

Because those who already know have already joined the Good Friends Chat Room Good Friends Chat Room, and those who don't will soon join as well.

The number of people in the Good Friends Chat Room also increased, and it soon exceeded 1,000.

"Xiao Qing, what exactly did you do to achieve such results?" Luo Feng was also in the Good Friends Chat Room and was shocked to see so many people—no, so many victims.

It hasn't even been a month, and it's already exceeded a thousand people.

Judging from this, Xu Qing is bringing in thirty or forty new friends every day, which is an astonishing rate.

"It's very simple. I just explained the pros and cons to them clearly, and they obediently became my good friends. There were no tricks involved; it was all based on feelings," Xu Qing replied.

Luo Feng's lips twitched. "You'll see if I believe you or not."

"What do you mean there's no skill involved, it's all emotion? I think you're about to scare her to tears," Babata, not believing it at all.

Seeing so many people in the Good Friends Chat Room, Xu Qing was also very pleased. "However, I didn't expect there to be so many people in the subordinate clans, far more than the top clans."

This is because the Ancestral God Sect treats every race in the universe equally; regardless of the strength or size of the race, the number of Inheritance Token issued is the same.

In other words, the smaller the race, the less competition there is for the Inheritance Token, unlike the intense competition among Human Race.

"That way, I can spend more time turning those subordinate tribes into my own people, and then I can deal with them."

Xu Qing's main targets, of course, were the Monster Race, the Zerg, and the Automaton Race, since they were the ones who specifically targeted the Human Race.

"The Persian Race have gone to inform them," someone in the chat room revealed that day.

"What? Those Persian Race idiots, they're used to being dogs, aren't they? Charge them to their deaths!"

The chat room erupted immediately. They were all waiting for Xu Qing to cause trouble for the Monster Race, the Zerg, and the Automaton Race, but it turned out that some of them had betrayed them.

"Calm down, calm down. We are all part of a wonderful family, and we are the most united and friendly. How can you say such unfriendly things?" Xu Qing immediately spoke up.

When Xu Qing spoke, everyone fell silent. "Azure Dragon King, how should this matter be handled?"

"Remember, everyone, we are all members of a wonderful family now. We must be peaceful and loving, and handle everything peacefully and amicably."

"Since the Persian Race are going to wag their tails and beg for mercy from their masters, there's nothing we can do about it. While taking direct action against dogs is one way, it's too brutal and doesn't align with our principles."

"Then what should we do? Azure Dragon King, what do you say? We'll listen to you."

"I have a photo of that 'Venerable Diaomao' with his bare buttocks from last time. I've printed 100,000 copies and left them at the door. Come and collect them later. Then stick all the photos on the walls of those Persian Race's houses with super strong adhesive, the kind that can't be peeled off."

"That's the first step. The second step is to call them out, then put them in sacks. I know you're all very angry, so let's beat them up first, then strip them naked and teach them a small lesson."

"Remember, don't use your fists, use a whip. But don't use too much force, or you'll cause problems. This is a loving discipline; excessive violence must be avoided. As long as you stand on the side of justice, you are invincible!"

Xu Qing meticulously orchestrated the process, manipulating the emotions of the group members, brainwashing them, and turning them into his henchmen.

"Good, as expected of you, Azure Dragon King, let's do it this way!"

"We can't have too many people, a dozen or so should be enough, one team responsible for one."

The rest is up to the group members to complete the plan themselves, so Xu Qing doesn't need to worry about it at all.

"Oh, and don't forget to take photos and videos," Xu Qing added as a final reminder.

Then, Xu Qing fell silent.

The people in the chat room immediately became excited and began to act according to the plan, discussing various details.

"Elder Brother, they're preparing to take action tonight," Akaro reported, monitoring the situation in the group chat.

Xu Qing looked indifferent. "Let them do whatever they want. Even if someone dies, it has nothing to do with me."

He definitely won't get involved; he's the big boss behind the scenes, so he doesn't need to do everything himself.

Moreover, with the Five-Colored Aurora Lake watching over it, no one is likely to die.

Now, the people in the chat room have begun to be tamed by him, and they will eventually become his henchmen, attacking whomever he commands.

"Let's go, let's continue visiting today's next target," Xu Qing said, walking with an air of indifference towards a palace.

That evening, a group of people came to the palace of the Persian Race and pasted some posters on the wall.

Knock knock!

A knock sounded at the door, and the person inside quickly came out. "Lambert, Kurt, is there something you need?"

The Persian Race Immortal looked at the group of people before him with some confusion.

The next second, several people grabbed him and dragged him to a place further away from the palace.

"What are you trying to do?" the man exclaimed in surprise, as if he had realized something.

"What are we doing? Of course, we're here to influence you with love, my dear family. Go for it!" The men looked at him with smiles, then stripped him naked.

"Stop, you... Waaah!" Before the man could finish speaking, he was subdued and his mouth was gagged.

Snap!

Several people took small leather whips and lashed him with a light but firm touch. "This is a loving discipline. As family, we can't let you go astray. We must use love to reform you, hehe."

After lashing them hundreds of times, those people had vented their anger enough, and then they snapped photos and videos and posted them in the chat room.

"Remember, you can't betray your family. No one can break up this big family," the group warned before leaving, leaving the man standing there naked and bewildered in the wind.
