Wan Yi smiled faintly and continued, "Then tell me more. What is this sole god you are trying to create?"
Wan Lei had already harbored this suspicion. He blurted out, "You are the sole god of energy, and you have divided the sole god positions of space, time, and matter, possessing supreme authority. However, in the face of enemies from the negative plane, our positive plane is at a disadvantage.
This is because the negative plane possesses a complete energy divinity, with all seven elemental demon lords present. On our side, we only have five sole gods: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. Facing the negative plane, we lack sole gods for the two divinities of Thunder and Wind.
Therefore, the God Creation Plan aims to create immortal venerable beings for the two divinities of Thunder and Wind.
Only then can we equalize the disadvantage when confronting the demon lords of the demon race.
Xiao Yu and I are the Thunder and Wind attributes."
"That's right. This is the God Creation Plan, pouring all our heart and resources into creating the two missing immortal venerable beings.
You are the ninth sequence, which means there are eight groups of Thunder and Wind attribute individuals before you.
Among these first eight groups, only the first sequence are saints, namely Wan Qingyi and Ruo Shuiqiu. They have achieved the highest cultivation and have the greatest hope of becoming immortal venerable beings.
The remaining seven sequences are currently powerful beings in the Golden Immortal realm.
We have poured a lot of effort into them, using various methods to help them comprehend the Dao laws of immortal venerable beings.
However, they were all chosen from the disciples of the Five Elements Hall, and were immortals from the beginning. Their life experiences, personalities, aptitudes, and comprehension were already set.
They all have various shortcomings and imperfections, making it difficult for them to achieve the most perfect immortal venerable being.
So we thought, what if we chose two individuals, influenced them from their weakest moments, and cultivated them, allowing them to choose the best path? Would the chance of success be higher?
Thus, the ninth sequence was born, and so were you.
We found suitable individuals in the Thunder-Wind Realm, and coincidentally, we had also left behind secret realms there, allowing us to test and temper them without leaving any traces.
The two people we chose were named Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu.
Of course, it wasn't you."
Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu were startled. "Not us? Are there other Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu combinations in the Thunder-Wind Realm?"
"Wan Lei was born first, possessing the Innate Thunder Body. We did not interfere with this. The later-born Fang Xiaoyu had an Innate Wind Body but her divine soul was too weak. So, we guided the soul of a wind god to help her improve her soul, without affecting her self-awareness.
Therefore, the original Fang Xiaoyu became the Fang Xiaoyu you know now.
As you grew older, we discovered that this new Fang Xiaoyu was acceptable. However, that Wan Lei was utterly useless!"
Wan Lei was taken aback. "Are you scolding someone?" He quickly realized, "You're talking about the previous Wan Lei."
"This person was a dissolute prodigal, committing all sorts of evil. His disposition was terrible, and he was unwilling to cultivate, extremely lazy. What a waste of that Innate Thunder Body.
Such a person, no matter how good his talent, could not be cultivated. Otherwise, the greater his ability, the greater the harm he would cause.
Therefore, we decided to find a suitable soul to carry this physical body. This soul had to be upright.
We observed the boundless universe. Coincidentally, the previous Wan Lei was struck down by heavenly tribulation, and you were also struck down by lightning. We then took the opportunity to have Gouzi guide your soul over.
The Moral Plane is too far from the Thunder-Wind Realm, and the energy of the Thunder God's Hammer was not enough to travel that far. So, we secretly lent a hand."
"Oh, so you helped me transmigrate? Damn it, I thought I was the chosen one."
Thinking of this, Wan Lei suddenly felt a pang of anxiety. He looked at Wan Qingyi and asked, "Ancestor, you know I'm not the original Wan Lei, nor your descendant. Does that bother you?"
Wan Lei meant to ask if Wan Qingyi was still willing to be his ancestor.
After all, when he first transmigrated to the Thunder-Wind Realm, he had always heard the legends of the Thunder Emperor ancestor, admired his heroic deeds, regarded him as an idol and role model, and had always been proud of being a descendant of the Thunder Emperor.
Later, his resistance against the demon race and saving the Thunder-Wind Realm were all influenced by the Thunder Emperor ancestor. Rebuilding the Thunder Emperor Hall and ascending to the position of the second generation Thunder Emperor, even though his achievements surpassed the Thunder Emperor ancestor, he willingly stayed below the Thunder Emperor, all in tribute to the Thunder Emperor ancestor.
Upon hearing this, Wan Qingyi was first stunned, then burst into laughter.
"Wan Lei, let me ask you a question. If Xiaoyu were to get pregnant one day and have your child, and this child hasn't even been born yet, would you love this child?"
"Of course, I would love him. My blood flows in him. He is my child. How could I not love him?"
Wan Lei replied without hesitation.
"Exactly. You love this child because of his bloodline, not the soul within him. No matter what kind of soul he has, or what he will become when he grows up, you would wholeheartedly be willing to give him everything.
Similarly, my Wan family's bloodline flows within you. Therefore, I am your ancestor, no matter who you are.
When you rebuilt the Thunder Emperor Hall and declared yourself Thunder Emperor, I was thinking then that as long as you were willing to call me ancestor, I would consider you my true descendant.
You are also my most outstanding descendant by blood."
"Wan Lei has learned his lesson. Thank you, Ancestor."
Wan Lei bowed sincerely in gratitude.
"Ancestor, there's also a granddaughter-in-law here."
Fang Xiaoyu blinked her big eyes, looking incredibly cute.
"Hahahaha, don't worry, you are all good children. Tomorrow, I'll take you to get a congratulatory gift, hahahaha."
Wan Qingyi suddenly laughed mischievously, his thoughts hidden.
"Are you going to give away someone else's belongings as gifts again?"
Shui Xian Zun Han Xiaofeng, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"Am I that kind of person? Would I do something like that?"
"Then why did you stuff the Water Ice Fruit, which I personally cultivated, into Wan Lei's pocket?"
Shui Xian Zun's already dark face grew even darker.
Wan Qingyi awkwardly withdrew his hand. Fortunately, Wan Lei had already pocketed quite a lot.
"Hmph, no good person in the Wan family."
Shui Xian Zun Han Xiaofeng rolled his eyes and turned to glare at Wan Yi.
Wan Yi was bewildered: "What did I do to you?"
"Alright, let's continue. Actually, there's nothing particularly special to talk about, just some minor details.
After guiding your soul, we also modified your Thunder Body to improve its aptitude, truly enhancing it from the very beginning.
As for Fang Xiaoyu, we also have concerns. Her personality is too cold. If allowed to develop unchecked, she might become another Ruo Shuiqiu."
