The众人 on the spaceship hadn't even had time to disembark when the spiritual jade slip in Wan Lei's pocket began to beep.
"They're treating us like donkeys in a production team, not letting us rest for a minute. We haven't even landed yet, and there's already a new mission."
Wan Lei smiled, took out the spiritual jade slip, and opened it. His smile instantly froze upon seeing the contents.
"What's wrong? What kind of mission is surprising you so much?" Fang Xiaoyu muttered, looking at the spiritual jade slip in Wan Lei's hand. The others also looked over.
[Five Elements Hall Thunderstorm Team Mission: Rescue the Moral Plane.
The Moral Plane, located in the border region of the High Spirit Plane, is currently under invasion by demons.
Laufey, the Frost Giant leader of the Dark Kingdom of Jotunheim, has joined forces with God Slayer Thor, resurrected the Death Goddess Hela and the Fire Giant Surtur, opened a teleportation channel, and is ushering demons into the Moral Plane.
Currently, the demons and the giant coalition are attacking the Asgardian Divine Realm. Odin, the King of Gods, along with the Queen of Heaven Frigga, the God of Mischief Loki, the Goddess Sif, the God of War Tyr, and the Guardian God Heimdall, along with the citizens of the Divine Realm, are resisting the enemy's attack.
The Divine Realm is outnumbered and in a precarious situation.
The Thunderstorm Team will lead a million reinforcements to the Moral Plane immediately. The space jump point will be calibrated and ready in fifteen minutes.]
"Moral Plane? That sounds so familiar. Right, the Rule Compass came from this plane, but we know nothing about that plane. Let's check for some information first." Wan Qianxin habitually opened his spiritual jade slip, logged into the internal official website, and started searching for information.
"You guys check it out. I'm going out for a smoke. We depart in fifteen minutes." Wan Lei's expression turned grim. He opened the cabin door and walked out of the spaceship without looking back.
"Hey, you're the captain and commander. Aren't you going to check the information about that plane?" Wan Qianxin asked doubtfully. But Wan Lei walked away without looking back, leaving the stunned group behind.
Information about the Moral Plane? Heh, who knows it better than Thor?
Fang Xiaoyu, before the spaceship door closed, darted out and followed Wan Lei.
Wan Lei wandered to a nearby mountaintop, found a rock, sat down, lit a cigarette, and took a deep puff, his gaze profound. He recognized almost every name on the spiritual jade slip. Although more than ten years had passed, seeing these names brought back vivid images of each person in his mind, their laughter and smiles as if they were right before him.
Fang Xiaoyu sat beside him, accompanying him in silence. Others didn't know Wan Lei's past experiences, but she did. Back when he was in the Thunder Star Sea, Wan Lei had told her about his past life. Later, in the Golden Immortal Secret Realm, she had personally witnessed Thor being killed by Loki, and Mjolnir carrying his soul to the Thunder Wind Realm.
After smoking the cigarette, Wan Lei sighed, lightly patted his storage bag, and a hammer handle and many broken stones flew out. Wan Lei conjured lightning, which wrapped around the stones, rejoining them. In a few seconds, the once-shattered Mjolnir was repaired and intact. With his current cultivation level, repairing Mjolnir was a matter of thought.
"Old friend, it's time to go home. We haven't been back in a long time." Wan Lei gently stroked Mjolnir, his eyes filled with both hatred, remembrance, and longing.
"Are you going back to get revenge this time?" Fang Xiaoyu gently patted Wan Lei's shoulder, comforting him.
Wan Lei nodded, then shook his head. "I don't know. When I first arrived in the Thunder Wind Realm, I was still very weak, just a beginner at the Qi Gathering stage. Back then, all I thought about was cultivating quickly, becoming a strong person as soon as possible, shattering the void, and going back to take revenge on Loki. Later, I met Father, I met Sui Xiaohang, I met the Heavenly Calculator Qi Manyao, I met... you. I gradually stopped thinking about revenge. I had you all, and sometimes I thought this life was actually quite good. I had already grown accustomed to the life of cultivation, accustomed to having you all by my side. Thor became the Thunder Emperor, and Thor became Wan Lei. I am who I am now, not who I was then. I haven't thought about returning to the Moral Plane for a very, very long time. Every day, I just wanted to protect you all and kill more demons. This time... the opportunity suddenly came, without any mental preparation, directly telling me that I could go back, and that we were departing immediately. I don't even know in what posture I should face my former father and mother, my former brother who is also my enemy, Loki, and those who were my closest companions. Sif, Tyr, Heimdall... I've known these people for thousands of years, but suddenly I feel like they are so distant. Although only a little over ten years have passed since my rebirth, it feels like a lifetime has gone by." Wan Lei smiled, feeling somewhat lost and unsure. Perhaps this was what they called apprehension before returning home.
"Why think so much? We have to go back and see eventually. Even if you don't go now, if you have time in the future and think of the Moral Plane, won't you want to go back and see? Moreover, your homeland is being invaded by demons now. Surely you don't want it to be destroyed by them? Let's go and rescue them first. After we defeat the demons, you can consider whether to acknowledge them or seek revenge. I think your father and mother will be very happy when they learn of your identity."
Hearing this, Wan Lei looked up at the sky, pondered for a moment, and said, "Perhaps they'll be startled. After all, I'm already dead. My deceased son returns to them with a new face. They probably wouldn't believe it. Forget it, why think so much? It only brings trouble."
Wan Lei put away Mjolnir, took out the Origin Thunder Hammer, tapped it, and shouted, "Gouzi, stop sleeping."
A moment later, Gouzi jumped out of the hammer, rubbing its sleepy eyes, and grumbled indignantly, "What are you shouting about? That thing seriously damaged me when I explored your sea of consciousness last time. I haven't recovered yet. Let me sleep a bit longer."
"Sleep what? We're going home."
"Going home?" Gouzi's spirits immediately perked up. "Are we going back to the Thunder Wind Realm?"
"Haha, you consider that home too? That's good. That's my home too, but this time we're not going back to the Thunder Wind Realm, but to... the Moral Plane."
"The Moral Plane?" Gouzi was stunned for a moment, then its expression became complicated. It was the Origin Thunder born in the Moral Plane. It had lived in a daze for countless years, was deceived by the Wheel of Morality, and jointly attacked the Nest of Sin. Finally, before the Nest of Sin fell into slumber, it sealed Gouzi, and it wasn't until tens of millions of years later that the Immortal Venerables and the Ghost Emperor came to the Moral Plane and rescued it.
