Chapter 591: Chapter 591: He Who Commits Many Unjust Acts Will Destroy Himself
Fu Yunhe’s Star Network technology was pushed to its limits at this moment.
At this time, it was about ten o’clock at night, and Little River Live was once again caught in the storm, teetering on the brink.
Yu Zeming had received Fu Yunhe’s message earlier and had once again logged onto Star Network’s Star Blog, unwavering in his support for Little River Live as always.
Mr. Yu and Yu Zeling from the Yu Family used their private accounts to support Little River Live.
This action caused many netizens who highly trusted the Interstellar First Detection Research Institute to flood the comments sections of their Star Blogs.
“A literary giant from the Poetry Club, isn’t that a bit blind?”
“I think so too.”
“The facts are clear as iron, why remain so obstinately deluded?”
“I too am somewhat disappointed, I’m leaving the Poetry Club.”
“Wait for me upstairs, with a Poetry Club president like this, who doesn’t distinguish right from wrong, it’s better to leave.”
“Indeed, a poet should be a sanctuary in this world.”
“I don’t see a problem though, they used their private accounts, not the Poetry Club’s.”
“You don’t understand, you’ve already enjoyed the halo brought by being a poet, then don’t fantasize about shedding that halo without pressure when you make a mistake.”
“Exactly, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.”
Mr. Yu and Yu Zeling’s actions led to many righteously passionate poets leaving the Poetry Club.
Seeing this, Mr. Yu and Yu Zeling made no further moves, unable to judge others’ right or wrong, they simply chose what they believed was right, or what was advantageous for them.
Just as they decided to stop paying attention to Star Network, an alert made them pause.
“Dad, there’s an update on Earth Bar.”
“I saw it!”
Mr. Yu opened the alerts he had specifically set, seeing Earth Bar’s updates in real-time.
As he opened the first status update, the second, third, and subsequently fourth from Earth Bar continued to appear…
Father and son exchanged looks and then went through each one of the status updates.
By now, many on Star Network had seen the consecutive updates from Earth Bar, leaving those ready to criticize speechless, feeling culturally inferior.
Earth Bar V: “We do not plot with those who differ in principle — from Confucius.”
Earth Bar V: “Like attracts like, birds of a feather flock together — from Strategies of the Warring States.”
Earth Bar V: “How can the sparrow understand the ambitions of the swan — from Records of the Grand Historian.”
Earth Bar V: “A thousand drinks too few when among confidantes, an excess of words when not engaged — from The Lute.”
Earth Bar V: “He who knows me, worries with me; he who doesn’t, what can he expect from me — from the Book of Songs.”
Earth Bar V: “The world is murky but I am clear, everyone is drunk but I am sober — from Chu Ci.”
The six continuous posts allowed no one underneath to speak up, feeling their language skills insufficient.
“Is this what I think it means? Does he have ancient books?”
“Probably.”
“But Earth Bar listed six types.”
“Imagine if they have them all? Unthinkable.”
“I want to respectfully ask, Earth Bar, do you really possess such books?”
In Earth Bar’s comment section, the trolls rested, but passionate ancient book lovers and researchers incessantly asked questions.
Even as Mr. Yu followed the conversation, he almost couldn’t help himself but eventually managed to resist as there were more pressing matters ahead.
In the end, Mr. Yu read the verses one more time, reluctantly closed his Light Computer, and started giving orders to Yu Zeling.
“Alert everyone below, once the Chi Family collapses, act swiftly. Spare no one except for Little River Live.”
“If we encounter Little River Live, do not compete for it; instead, assist them, understand?”
Yu Zeling promised earnestly, “Dad, don’t worry, I know what to do.”
“Good, go now.” Mr. Yu waved his hand, gazing out at the pitch-black night, which resembled a devouring beast, merely a step away from breaking forth.
Yu Zeling quickly left while Mr. Yu stayed home, commanding the overall situation.
The skies of the interstellar were about to change.
Meanwhile, Nian Shutong, after sending a series of verses, had arrived outside the Chi Family’s residence, and it was nearly midnight.
The moment midnight struck, signifying the real beginning of the next day, was also the time the Chi Family chose for their ancestral veneration.
The Chi Family’s third plan had produced the long-awaited result; with a bit more fermentation, Little River Live would inevitably not withstand, and taking it over wasn’t just talk.
Even the fifth-largest live broadcast, supported by the Royal Family, couldn’t resist the report from the First Detection Research Institute, which could serve as ironclad evidence.
As midnight approached, today’s Chi estate was restless, everyone dressed up, ready for the moment of midnight to burn incense to the ancestors.
At the same time on Star Network, action surged wave after wave, the number of sleepless people this night definitely several times more than usual.
At the stroke of midnight, Chi Family Patriarch, Chi Zhong, lit the largest and thickest stick of incense, and the ancestral veneration officially began.
Concealed in a corner, Nian Shutong retracted entirely, holding up a camera to record the scene.
As the giant specially-made incense was lit, under the bright lights, a wisp of green smoke slowly rose. Just as Chi Zhong placed the incense in the burner, Nian Shutong’s setup triggered.
The calm, ascending green smoke turned ethereal and misty. In the next second, it soared, forming the figure of a person before everyone’s eyes.
“Good heavens! Our ancestor has manifested!”
“What, is this real!”
“Our ancestor!”
“Our ancestor!”
Many didn’t quite believe it, but still followed the crowd in shouting ‘Our ancestor,’ and knelt en masse.
Chi Zhong, too, was skeptical as he watched, wondering what was going on.
The ritual of venerating ancestors was meant as a formality without much significance, but how could they explain the phenomenon happening before them?
The specter from the green smoke, eyes filled with anger and sorrow, seemed to sigh, and the smoke formed a line of text before disappearing.
“Evildoers will ultimately destroy themselves.”
“What does this mean?”
“It seems to be saying we’ve done wrong and will face retribution.”
Whispers filled the crowd, and Chi Zhong, upon seeing the text appear, instantly knew someone was tampering.
If it were truly their ancestor, even dead, they would protect the Chi Family!
Chi Zhong abruptly stood, glaring furiously, and roared, “Who is it!”
“Seal off the Chi estate, find the culprit, no matter who it is.”
“No one can mess with the Chi Family and escape unscathed!”
As Chi Zhong’s order finished, just before his subordinates could leave, a sweat-soaked man burst in from outside, breaking through the crowd and kneeling on the ground to shout:
“Family Head, something terrible has happened!”
“Family Head, a major crisis has occurred!”
