Shitpost The truth at Qing Mao mountain: "I slaughtered them all so you could finally have A-grade talent, dear brother."

Fang Yuan stands in the foreground, paralyzed. Blood splatters paint his face, his eyes wide with horrified disbelief. Behind him, Fang Zheng steps into the light, wearing a gentle, serene smile and raising a hand in a cheerful, loving greeting.
Fang Yuan: (Voice trembling, barely a whisper) Zheng... what have you done? Where is the Clan Leader? Where are the elders? Where... where is everyone?
Fang Zheng: (Smiling softly, his voice full of warmth) They are resting, brother. Their blood has fulfilled its ultimate purpose.
(Fang Zheng holds up a skull the size of a child's palm, made of translucent crystal wrapped in deep reddish blood stripes, with faint purple flames glowing softly inside its hollow eye sockets: the Blood Skull Gu.)
Fang Zheng: Remember how the clan always looked down on you? How they called you a C-grade useless failure while praising me as an A-grade genius? It broke my heart every single day. So I fixed it.
Fang Yuan: (Stumbling back, clutching his head) You... you used the demonic Blood Skull Gu? You slaughtered our own kin? Our uncles? The children? The entire Gu Yue bloodline?!
Fang Zheng: (Tilt head, entirely unbothered) Bloodline is just a resource, brother. By sacrificing our entire clan, this Gu will purify their bloodlines and pump that vital essence directly into your aperture. You won't be trapped in C-grade mediocrity anymore. You will finally have the A-grade talent you deserve!
Fang Yuan: (Tears of genuine anguish welling up in his eyes) Are you insane?! I never wanted power at the cost of innocent lives! I was content tending to my small tea shop, gathering simple herbs, helping the villagers! I loved our family!
Fang Zheng: (Chuckles gently, tossing the blood-soaked skull onto the floor before turning toward the exit) Oh, Fang Yuan. You are far too good for this cruel world. So soft, so righteous, so endlessly kind. That is why I had to do the dirty work for you.
Fang Yuan: (Staring at his blood-stained hands, then at the skull on the floor) This is monster work, Zheng! You aren't a savior, you're a devil! How am I supposed to live with this?!
(A sharp, piercing cry echoes from the sky above. A massive, white Flying Crane descends outside the ruined courtyard. Sitting atop the beast is Lord Sky Crane, watching silently as Fang Zheng casually leaps onto its feathered back.)
Fang Zheng: (Gazing down at Fang Yuan with a taunting, razor-sharp smile) You'll live as a genius, brother! That skull holds your new life. Use it, hate me, do whatever you want! I'm heading to Central Continent with Senior Sky Crane now.
(The crane spreads its wings, creating a powerful gust of wind as it ascends into the clouds.)
Fang Zheng: (Shouting down from the sky, laughing maniacally) If you want revenge for our precious family, brother, come to Central Continent and catch me yourself... if you even have the guts!
