Chapter 489: The Next Worldwide Change Is Just Around The Corner
Of course, the Heavenly Palace was not going to stand idly by and let anyone destroy it. For a while, more people learned of the truth after various bits of information were released.
These seemingly virtuous people were actually related to the demons who were summoned from Hell.
“I didn’t expect so many charitable people to be such scumbags!”
“These people don’t care about civilians like us at all!”
“I will never forgive them for this!”
Along with their relationship with the demons, the shadier aspects of them were also made public.
It was completely different from what people had thought of them before.
For a moment, people became excited by the fact that everyone’s opinions had completely changed. Although some people wanted to get the public to feel the same way as them, they were soon captured.
The Heavenly Palace had always been tough, but they didn’t have many principles to go by. They would not tolerate certain people.
Although the matter has been resolved, the effect that the issue had on many people’s lives persisted.
For those ancient families and all kinds of leaders who Lu Xuan had ordered the Heavenly Palace to capture and kill, many of their businesses had fallen into the hands of the Heavenly Palace.
The Heavenly Palace had also disposed of these industries as quickly as possible, as many of them were high-quality industries. The competition for these industries would’ve inevitably been high, even if the price to buy them was increased.
With the current ability of the Heavenly Palace, it was impossible to destroy them all at once.
Even so, the Heavenly Palace had greatly benefitted during this industrial change.
The other forces were frantically trying to take those industries for themselves. On one hand, they feared the strength of both the Heavenly Palace and Lu Xuan himself. On the other hand, Yunxuan Villa was also working with the Heavenly Palace to take over all those industries.
This was a huge capital gain!
In Yunxuan Villa, Lu Xuan’s family and Yang Chengsi were all in the living room.
“How much have we made this time?” Lu Xuan asked.
Yang Chengsi had always been the one who was in charge of Yunxuan Villa’s economy. Although Lu Shanshan, Liu Wanrong, and other people were monitoring it, Yang Chengsi was still responsible for the specific operations.
He was bound by the master-slave contract with Lu Xuan anyway, so he was not afraid of having a falling out with Lu Xuan.
Yang Chengsi glanced at the data on the tablet then said, “The specific harvest of the Heavenly Palace has not been calculated yet. What we do know, however, is that Yunxuan Villa has received assets totaling at least 300 billion USD this time. Coupled with some assets that were auctioned off, the working capital alone exceeds 100 billion USD!”
Lu Xuan nodded. Monsters were competing for capital gains, yet Yunxuan Villa was able to grab much of it. This was obviously good news for the villa.
Of course, he also knew that those were all set aside for the sake of maintaining his image.
“By my calculations, the Heavenly Palace has harvested twice as much as this!” Yang Chengsi said.
The Heavenly Palace and Yunxuan Villa were their own places. Naturally, they would be different.
For Lu Xuan, however, the change was as minor as switching between his left and right hands; they were both under his control.
“All the working capital will be used to buy resources for cultivation, alongside a portion from those industries going towards resources as well. At this rate, money will become worthless as a form of currency in the future; it’ll all be replaced by spirit stones!” Lu Xuan said.
In the future, spirit stones would become the new currency. Everything else would have to be bought using spirit stones.
Cultivation resources were the most important. Money didn’t matter that much in comparison if nobody used it anymore.
Other members of the Lu family had no problem with the way Lu Xuan dealt with things. Over the past few days, the Lu family became so wealthy that it left them all in a daze.
Simply put, it was enough to cover their expenses for 10 lifetimes. They were now under Lu Xuan’s orders to cultivate, so they didn’t have to worry about anything else. As long as they cultivated well, they would have everything they could ever want.
After Yang Chengsi left to deal with more industrial issues, Lu Shanshan asked, “Brother, is the next worldwide change coming soon?”
Lu Xuan nodded and said, “Yes, it won’t be long before the world changes again. Once that happens, you guys will have the perfect opportunity to make a breakthrough!”
Lu Xuan could vaguely sense the shackles of the world relaxing; the next big change was not too far into the future.
By that time, it wouldn’t have been long before the secluded sects descended.
This time, the secluded sects would probably be descending earlier than when they did during Lu Xuan’s previous life.
This time, the global situation had been turned upside down because of Lu Xuan. The environment had recovered sooner at a faster rate than in his previous life.
Therefore, it won’t be long before he had to face the secluded sects descending.
Among the secluded sects, he already had several enemies such as the Taichu Path. However, Lu Xuan was not too worried about them.
This was because he knew that he had many more enemies to deal with.
Once those secluded sects descended, they would become far stronger than the secular world. Their goal was likely to gain control over both the earth and the secular world.
This completely conflicted with Lu Xuan’s intention of promoting and establishing the Human Alliance.
From this kind of perspective, it was impossible to ease the conflict between the secluded sects and Lu Xuan. The only ways that this could happen was if either the secluded sects gave up their desire to rule the world, or if Lu Xuan gave in.
The latter would’ve meant that he was willing to let all mankind kneel at their feet and pray for some resources.
Lu Xuan would never do something like that!
Even though the secluded sects would be descending earlier, the current strength of the earth was much stronger under the control of Lu Xuan.
At this stage during his previous life, the earth was not even one-tenth as strong.
This was also why Lu Xuan was confident.
“Every time the world changes in some way, a Spiritual Tide will occur. That’s when you guys will be able to make a breakthrough the fastest. Even the talented elites from some Holy Land in the secluded sects would not be as quick about it as you guys are. This is an excellent opportunity, so all of you have to seize it!” Lu Xuan said in a serious tone.
One by one, Lu Shanshan and the others nodded in agreement. However, Liu Wanrong looked at Lu Xuan with mixed feelings.
Lu Xuan then said, “The great struggle of the world in the future is just around the corner, right now it’s just slowly building up to it! The strong should’ve also sensed that the world has changed. I don’t know how many people will survive and how many will be eliminated after this Spiritual Tide.”
Although Lu Xuan was concerned about the growth of the Human Alliance, he did not care too much about who could stand out. He couldn’t look after them all the time.
Lu Xuan looked at the distant sky and murmured to himself, “When the storm arrives, I will know how strong I truly am!”
“For a while after this, Yunxuan Villa will be undergoing private training to face great changes in the future. Of course, there will be professional managers to take care of things outside. You guys don’t have to worry about any of that; just cultivate with everything you’ve got!”
