"Help? How do we help?"
"Think about it, if the demon race wants to occupy the Lei Feng Realm, it definitely won't be like wars between mortal dynasties, where you take a piece of my territory and I take a city of yours.
Their goal is not just to take our land and our starry sky.
We cannot absorb demonic energy, and conversely, the demon race certainly cannot absorb spiritual energy.
Of course, it's not impossible that they have powerful beings who can convert spiritual energy into demonic energy, but it's certainly not something these mortal realm demons can do.
If they occupy the Lei Feng Realm, they will definitely transform it into an environment they need, converting spiritual energy into demonic energy.
And to achieve this, they need to control the will of heaven and earth, to control the heart of the universe."
The term "heart of the universe" was something Wan Lei heard from Gouzi.
Fifty thousand years ago, the Six Immortals transformed the heart of the universe of the entire Lei Feng Realm, converting all the lightning power of the Lei Feng Realm into spiritual energy.
"What we need to do is to guide the will of heaven and earth down, and use the will of heaven and earth to attract the demon race.
They should not miss this opportunity to be in close proximity to the will of heaven and earth, nor the opportunity to find the heart of the universe through the will of heaven and earth.
Once they find the heart of the universe by following the will of heaven and earth, they will definitely try every means to transform it. Even if they cannot transform it, they will pollute it, weaken our universe, the Lei Feng Realm, or even cause huge loopholes in the spatial barrier of the universe, allowing the demon race from the outside to invade us smoothly."
"You are playing with fire. What if we fail and they succeed? Wouldn't the Lei Feng Realm be destroyed?"
Fang Xiaoyu frowned.
"As if I could actually guide the will of heaven and earth down."
Wan Lei chuckled.
"Then what you've been saying is all for nothing?"
"Not for nothing. We can fake the scene of the will of heaven and earth descending."
"How do we fake it?"
A wicked smile appeared on Wan Lei's lips.
"Remember the huge imperial crown that appeared in the sky at the Fang family a few days ago? The one formed by clouds, that's a manifestation of the will of heaven and earth descending.
I'll be responsible for condensing the thunderclouds, you'll be responsible for using the power of wind to shape them into an imperial crown, and Gouzi will hold the hammer and emit the aura of the Heavenly Dao.
Remember, that imperial crown must form bit by bit, and the more it progresses, the more realistic it should be..."
As the day of the Lei Di Hall's sect opening on the first day of the third lunar month drew closer, more and more people began to pay attention to this newly emerging "veteran" force.
These days, many people had noticed that dark clouds were gathering above the Lei Di Hall, forming a circular shape, and that circular shape was increasingly resembling an imperial crown.
Furthermore, some people had sensed the aura of the Heavenly Dao within it.
A piece of news swept across the Lei Feng Continent like a storm.
The Lei Di Hall was to be rebuilt, Wan Lei would ascend the throne as emperor, and the heavens and earth would celebrate. The will of heaven and earth would descend, and the imperial crown would be condensed for Wan Lei. This was a manifestation of heaven and earth's recognition, and it represented Wan Lei's inheritance of the position of Lei Di, with dual recognition in terms of law and heaven and earth.
There were even rumors that on the first day of the third lunar month, the will of heaven and earth would fully descend to personally crown Wan Lei.
This news ignited the hearts of many, further solidifying their recognition of Wan Lei, and causing the number of people coming to join the Lei Di Hall to reach a new peak during this period.
This news, of course, was also received by other peak powers.
The Yin Yang Sect, the Kui Lian Sect, and the Fang family didn't say much, at least they publicly offered congratulations and agreement. After all, the four families were almost the backbone of the first anti-demon alliance, and unity was crucial at this time, preventing internal conflict.
As for the Zhou family, the Wu family, and the Dun family, they attached great importance to this matter. While the lower-level disciples were optimistic, the higher-ups did not think so.
The Lei Di Hall was rebuilt, and the "Lei Di" had returned. Would these families, who had participated in the destruction of the Wan family and the Lei Di Hall, face retribution in the future?
It could be said that the rebuilding of the Lei Di Hall by Wan Lei had both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage was gaining the hearts of the people of the world, while the disadvantage was causing some unease among the neutral three families.
The Liu family, the Huo family, and the Kai Tian Sword Sect paid even more attention to this matter, but publicly, it remained calm, ignoring the external outcry as if their collusion with the demon race had nothing to do with them.
It was unknown what kind of conspiracy they were brewing.
They were, naturally, the ones who paid the most attention to Wan Lei.
With the Lei Di Hall newly accepting many families and rogue cultivators, and its rapid expansion, it was inevitable that those few families would try to infiltrate it. Those hidden agents were the eyes placed by the three families in the Lei Di Hall, constantly monitoring the every move of this behemoth.
As for the Hall Master, Wan Lei, he was naturally the top priority for them. However, during this period, Wan Lei handled the various affairs of the Lei Di Hall during the day and returned to his residence to cultivate at night, showing no signs of anything unusual.
At present, the pattern of the Lei Feng Realm was divided into three factions.
The Lei Di Hall, the Yin Yang Sect, the Kui Lian Sect, and the Fang family had joined forces, expressing their attitude to resist the invaders to the end.
The demon race, the Liu family, the Huo family, and the Kai Tian Sword Sect had clearly formed an alliance.
The remaining neutral faction consisted of the other three families and hundreds of millions of rogue cultivators.
The Lei Feng Realm was outwardly calm, but inwardly turbulent.
The first day of the third lunar month was cloudy.
The sky was indeed a bit gloomy, as a vast expanse of dark clouds shrouded the sky above the Lei Di Hall.
The dark cloud was circular in shape, with many pointed mountain-like bulges on the southern side, resembling a majestic imperial crown.
In the center of the imperial crown, sunlight shone through, bathing the entire Lei Di Hall in light.
Today's Lei Di Hall was exceptionally lively. On the square in front of the main hall stood two neat rows of imposing guards.
Inside the main hall, many early guests were already gathered, chatting and waiting for the noon hour.
Most of these guests were cultivators in the Nascent Soul Grand Completion stage, many of whom were the sect leaders and elders of major powers in the central region, as well as the elders of the Lei Di Hall.
The front area was quite quiet; it was the territory of the Tribulation Transcending experts.
A total of three Tribulation Transcending experts had arrived.
And they were all the strongest old monsters in the Tribulation Transcending stage from the three families.
Fang Huifeng, from the Fang family, stood expressionlessly in the center of the front of the Lei Di Hall, his face like a dead fish, finding everyone displeasing to the eye.
Qu Tianlei of the Yin Yang Sect was a middle-aged cultivator with an immortal-like demeanor, appearing quite amiable, which was in line with the image the Yin Yang Sect presented to outsiders.
Chen Manlian of the Kui Lian Sect also appeared middle-aged, with a graceful figure and a hint of lingering charm.
At this moment, the sect leaders of the three major powers could not get to the front. The ones in charge were the Tribulation Transcending ancestors of each family.
The personal attendance of these three Tribulation Transcending ancestors at the Lei Di Hall was a great honor for Wan Lei. However, their attendance was not solely to celebrate the establishment of the Lei Di Hall; more importantly, it was to discuss alliance matters.
