BEEP BEEP—

After Liu Tong finished speaking, he hung up the phone without giving Qin Heng any time to respond.

Or rather, he simply didn't care about Qin Heng's opinion.

After all, in Liu Tong's view, Qin Heng was nothing more than a good-for-nothing relying on his family's support. He believed the Daqin Group, managed by Qin Heng's parents, had developed so rapidly only because of the Liu family's support.

He utterly forgot that even before the Lius acknowledged Liu Shuyu's status, the Daqin Group had already been the most powerful conglomerate in China and even in Asia.

With such a mindset, Liu Tong completely saw himself as the master of the Daqin Group. In his eyes, a good-for-nothing like Qin Heng had no right to the Daqin Group.

In the future, Daqin Group is destined to belong to the Lius, and it should be called the Da Liu Group instead!!

Therefore, Liu Tong didn't take Qin Heng seriously at all.

"The company operated by my parents... its success is not entirely a good thing." Qin Heng chuckled softly, put down his phone, stood up, and shook his head slightly. He humphed lightly, then sighed and said, "They only greedily seek wealth and fame, never realizing their spirits wither away in obscurity. Even if they pile up gold like mountains, can they buy off the inevitable? Mortals live but a fleeting moment, like the autumn grass and trees, yet they still waste their finite lives on petty intrigue. How laughable."

Qin Heng saw through the Lius', or particularly Liu Tong's intentions, crystal clear. It was nothing more than matchmaking him with the daughter of the president of the Heavenly God Group, ostensibly for the strategic cooperation between the two companies, but in reality, it was to diminish his voice within the Daqin Group. The Heavenly God Group is China's top enterprise, second only to the Daqin Group, and is also a colossal entity worth trillions, with many overlapping areas of business. Currently, although the two have temporarily reached a strategic cooperation, most of the time, the Daqin Group and the Heavenly God Group are still in a competitive state, with constant friction. If Qin Heng were to be with the daughter of the president of the Heavenly God Group, there wouldn't be any issues during the period of strategic cooperation. The partnership might even deepen, advancing their business cooperation and bringing many benefits. However, once this "honeymoon period" ends, Qin Heng's status would become awkward. Although he is the son of the founders of Daqin Group, his relationship with the daughter of a senior executive of the Heavenly God Group would naturally cause the people of Daqin Group to suspect him. By then, both Qin Heng's right to speak and his inheritance rights would likely face significant challenges. And at that moment, the Lius could seize the opportunity to usurp control of Daqin Group.

As for his parents, Qin Heng was sure they would never agree to this, but they were currently on a business trip in America, discussing business cooperation, making communication inconvenient.

That's why Liu Tong dared to be so bold.

"What a pity. The very thing you're scheming to seize is, in my eyes, just an insignificant bit of wealth." Qin Heng stood with his hands behind his back, looking out at the sky. His Divine Sense perceived the sea of Yuan Qi surging tumultuously. He chuckled softly, "The world is about to change, and the rules will change too. The status and power brought by wealth will gradually vanish. When the time comes, only one thing will dominate this world: power!"

After the revival of Spiritual Energy, the rules and the extraordinary on Earth will gradually return. While not everyone will be able to cultivate, the number of Transcendents will undoubtedly grow explosively! The existing Transcendents will also become even more powerful. The currently stable society probably won't last much longer before collapsing into a world where the strong prey upon the weak! Everything will collapse, and everything will be reshaped! That will be the worst of times, but, of course, it will also be a better time! For those Martial Artists pursuing higher Realms, immortality, transcendence, moving mountains and filling seas, plucking stars and seizing the moon, and other such wonders will no longer be mere legends but attainable Realms!!

For Qin Heng, after the revival of Spiritual Energy, the rules of heaven and earth would become clearer, comprehending the Supreme Law would be more convenient, and advancing in his path would become easier. It would be a brand new era!

...

In a villa district within Beijing's Second Ring Road, there was an estate with towering walls, and security guards patrolled every passageway.

Clearly, those who lived here were either rich or noble.

"Dad, do you really want me to go on a blind date with that profligate from the Qins?" Cheng Yuyao pouted, looking unhappy as she said, "That guy is a complete good-for-nothing. Dad, do you want to ruin your daughter's life?"

She was nineteen this year, a sophomore at Tsinghua University, stunningly beautiful with peerless charm. Her figure was also amazingly perfect, with curves in all the right places.

An absolute campus belle.

"This is the chairman's wish," Cheng Feng looked at his daughter and said, "The cooperation between Tianlong Group and Daqin Group is very important; there can be no mistakes. Yuyao, you must help me."

"So, you would sacrifice my happiness just for business cooperation between your two companies?" Cheng Yuyao clenched her teeth and said, "Don't you know what kind of person that Qin Heng is? He's always loafing around, indulging in pleasure, a total waste. He even got into Beijing University by paying his way in. You want your daughter to go on a blind date with this kind of good-for-nothing?"

"You don't have a choice; this is an order!" Cheng Feng said no more, simply swept out of the room, and with a bang, shut the villa's door, leaving Cheng Yuyao alone in the house.

"AH!!" Cheng Yuyao screamed. The antique vase on the table—worth more than five million—smashed to the ground with a crash. Then, holding her head, she hysterically shouted, "Why! Why!!"

"Because you are not strong enough. Because you are weak. Because you have no power!" a slightly mocking female voice echoed in Cheng Yuyao's mind, as if taunting her.

"You're here again! What exactly are you, and why do you appear in my head?" Cheng Yuyao said very warily. This voice had been appearing intermittently for almost half a year now, often speaking inexplicable words.

"What I am is not important. What I want to ask you now is, do you want to change your fate?" the female voice said indifferently. "Or rather, do you want to become strong?"

"I do!" Cheng Yuyao suddenly lifted her head, her slender fists clenched tightly, her eyes filled with Evil Qi as she said, "I do! I want to become strong! I want to change my fate! I refuse to be with a good-for-nothing playboy!"

"Good!"

Cheng Yuyao heard the female voice in her mind respond. Then she felt a flash of green light suddenly sparkle in her mind, which immediately condensed into a vague silhouette.

She couldn't see its features clearly, but she could feel that this blurry figure was exceedingly perfect and beautiful. If she could see it clearly, it would definitely be an exceptionally beautiful woman.

"Tomorrow, you will meet with that Qin Heng as agreed, and then, you will take his life! To become strong, you must kill. Tomorrow will be the beginning of your transcendence!!"
