I am a full-level celestial master, you let me enter the strange talk of rules?

The passageway was very narrow, allowing only one person to pass at a time.

A large patch of plaster had peeled off the wall, revealing damp soil underneath.

The overhead lights had long since gone out; only the light from the holy sword of the beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes illuminated the path ahead.

After walking for about half an hour, a light appeared ahead, not natural light, but the light of torches.

"Who's there?" a wary voice came from ahead.

Zhang Yangqing did not answer and continued walking forward.

After turning a corner, the view suddenly opened up before me.

Several miners holding pickaxes stood in the passageway, watching this side nervously.

When they saw Zhang Yangqing's face clearly, their wariness instantly turned into surprise.

"Boss! The boss is back! Old miner! The boss is back!"

A young miner was so excited that his voice changed, and he turned and ran back.

Zhang Yangqing waved his hand, indicating that they didn't need to make a fuss, but the news had already spread.

The three walked out of the passage and arrived at the former residence of the Qing Tong family. Now, this place is no longer called the Qing Tong family.

The plaque above the gate has been changed, now bearing two large characters: Dawn.

In the square in front of the gate, there are no longer overseers waving whips, and no longer miners queuing in shackles.

Instead, there were patrol teams spontaneously organized by the miners, the laughter of children chasing and playing in the square, and the leisurely sunbathing of the elderly by the wall.

The beautiful woman with almond-shaped eyes stood at the door, staring at everything in stunned silence.

This is where she was born, and she remembers every corner of it.

To the east were the foremen's dormitories, and to the west were the miners' sheds. In the middle of the square stood a statue of the first head of the Qing Tong family, and every miner who passed by had to bow in respect.

She remembered the overseers wielding their whips, the miners groping in the dark in their shackles, and how she glanced back as she escaped, the gate slowly closing behind her, trapping all the darkness and despair inside.

Now, everything has changed.

The foreman's dormitory was turned into a school, where children were studying and practicing.

The miners' huts were demolished and replaced with rows of neat stone houses.

The statue in the middle of the square is gone, replaced by a huge stone tablet with the words "Dawn" engraved on it.

There were people setting up stalls in the square, selling daily necessities and food. They were not using the Black Crystal Coins issued by the Qing Tong family, but the Dawn Coins printed by the miners themselves.

The patrol team passed by, led by a scarred man. Upon seeing Zhang Yangqing, he stood at attention and saluted: "Boss!"

His teammates behind him also saluted, their eyes filled with respect.

The old miner squeezed through the crowd, panting heavily, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"Boss, you're back! After you left, we took over the Qing Tong family's businesses as you instructed. We arranged jobs for those who were willing to join us as miners. Now, this area is entirely managed by us miners. Miners have priority access to resources and food. Now everyone is proud to be a miner."

The old miner's voice was somewhat excited, as if he had also made a contribution and felt a sense of accomplishment.

Zhang Yangqing nodded and gave him a few perfunctory compliments, which made him very happy.

Gaining Zhang Yangqing's approval was more important to him than anything else.

The old miner shifted his gaze from Zhang Yangqing to the beautiful woman with almond-shaped eyes.

He looked at it again and again, his eyes filled with an indescribable emotion, as if he were trying to identify something.

The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes looked at him and smiled: "You recognized me, but you're just too shy to admit it, right?"

The old miner paused for a moment, then scratched his head awkwardly: "We met a few times back then. You were so small and thin back then, always hiding in a corner, not talking or playing with anyone. I even gave you a steamed bun back then, I don't know if you remember." The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes also reddened, and she nodded: "I remember, that steamed bun was the most delicious thing I've ever eaten. Without the steamed bun you gave me, I wouldn't have had the strength to cultivate."

The old miner sighed, "I never imagined you'd become such a big shot! It's truly amazing!"

The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes stepped forward and patted the old miner on the shoulder: "Not a big shot, just the girl who ate your steamed buns."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Zhang Yangqing felt that this old miner also had the qualities of an angel investor. Last time he invested in the beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes, and this time he found Zhang Yangqing when he was about to die. Both were very good choices.

Zhang Yangqing led the three to a stone chamber deep within the Dawn Zone.

This stone chamber was formerly a forbidden area for the Qing Tong family, and only the patriarch was allowed to enter.

After the old miners took over, they opened it up, but there was nothing inside except a dilapidated altar.

Looking at the altar, Zhang Yangqing quickly deduced that this was where the savior cultivated back then, and that the ancestors of the Qing Tong family had obtained the inheritance here, which was how the family developed.

He took the ancestral dragon's tooth out of the box and placed it on the altar.

The moment the tooth touched the altar, the entire stone chamber lit up.

The patterns seemed to come alive, beginning to flow and glow, guiding the energy of the teeth into the spiritual veins beneath the altar.

"If we put the Ancestral Dragon's tooth on, this area will have a spiritual vein. The resources nurtured by the spiritual vein will increase, and the humans here will become stronger. As long as we can unite as one, it is not impossible to get out of the underground and drive away the strange creatures."

Zhang Yangqing looked at the flowing patterns, his tone so calm that it didn't seem like he was talking about the revival of the human race, but rather something else entirely.

This is actually normal. Zhang Yangqing has only been here for a short time and will be leaving soon, so there's really no need for him to linger.

The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes looked at the altar and suddenly said, "I have a say in the Bai Ying family. When we join forces, we won't be afraid of the Huang Jin family causing trouble."

Zhang Yangqing glanced at her, speechless: "You might as well just wipe out the Huang Jin family and save yourselves the trouble."

One sentence was enough to wake up all the high-ranking members of Dawn Group present.

The old miner's eyes lit up, the scarred man clenched his fist, and the others nodded in agreement.

Yeah, why should we be afraid of them causing trouble?
Why not just wipe them out? We couldn't beat them before because we lacked strength, confidence, and leadership.

Now that we have a savior, a glimmer of hope, and the spiritual vein brought by the ancestral dragon's tooth, what is there to fear?
The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes was also stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Big brother is right, let's destroy it, it'll save us trouble."

Zhang Yangqing didn't say anything more. He had completed his main quest and had the settlement conditions in hand.

He can leave this world at any time if he wants.

But he still has two things to do: the hidden mission and the journey to the Undying Mountain.

This was his real purpose in coming to Yudu.

He stood up, dusted himself off, and said, "I have things to do. You all go about your business."

The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes paused for a moment: "Big brother, where are you going?"

Zhang Yangqing glanced at her: "Go back to Yudu."

The beautiful woman with almond-shaped eyes and the high-earning man exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Let's go too."

The three left Dawn once more, returned to the ground, and went back to Yudu.

Yudo in the "second playthrough" is even more chaotic than when they left.

The streets were filled with eerie patrols, the air thick with the stench of blood and burning, and the ground littered with corpses—some strange, some demonic.

A large number of buildings collapsed, some were still burning, and some had been reduced to ruins.

The sounds of fighting came from all directions, rising and falling, as if the entire city was at war. (End of Chapter)
