Wan Qingyi cleared his throat and said,
"Sect Master, actually Wan Lei's strength is not bad. Although he is only a Half-Saint, with that ring, at least..."
"Alright, I know."
Wan Hong waved his hand, interrupting Wan Qingyi, and continued,
"This is not just my intention, but also the Immortal Venerable's. Before I announced the war, I went to the negative plane to find the Immortal Venerable. Otherwise, do you think I could start the great decisive battle if I wanted to?
The Immortal Venerable told me three points.
The first point is that all matters in the positive plane are under my control. During wartime, I am the supreme leader of the positive plane and have all authority to decide anything.
The second point is that Wan Lei is not allowed to participate in the war. Now that war is imminent, he must become a Saint as quickly as possible.
Not only him, but also Fang Xiaoyu. Both of them must become Saints as quickly as possible.
I believe you all know this, but it hasn't been said. Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu are the chosen candidates for the Thunder Immortal Venerable and Wind Immortal Venerable by the Immortal Venerables.
Their becoming Saints is only the first step. The second step is to become Immortal Venerables and complete the supreme authority of the positive plane.
Of course, even if Wan Lei cannot become an Immortal Venerable, after he becomes a Saint and puts on the ring, he can at least exert combat power that is invincible below the Immortal Venerable realm, right?
At that time, what else would we be afraid of, the Demon Emperor and the demon army? Just have Wan Lei swat them all to death."
Wan Hong's joke did not make anyone laugh. Everyone stared blankly at Wan Lei, who looked bewildered at them.
Eye to eye.
"Didn't you say three points? What about the last one?"
Heavenly Venerable asked Wan Hong.
Wan Hong pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and set up a barrier, completely separating the space where they, the Saints, were. In fact, this space seemed to exist, but it had actually been detached from the entire ghost realm.
"Esteemed Saints, if you wish to hear, I can tell you, but please be extremely discreet and absolutely do not spread it, lest it cause widespread panic."
Seeing Wan Hong's solemn and serious demeanor, all the Saints also became serious.
"Ahem, the Immortal Venerable told me that Wan Lei is the Son of Destiny of this generation, and he is the key to whether the positive plane can turn the tide. Anyone can have an accident, even the Immortal Venerable can die, but Wan Lei cannot."
As soon as this was said, all the Saints had question marks on their faces, dozens of faces looking bewildered.
Is Wan Lei really that important? It must be a lie.
"Esteemed Saints, what I am saying is what the Immortal Venerable personally told me, word for word. The Immortal Venerable said that in the negative plane, Han Fengxue has already devoured four Demon Venerables, leaving only the weakest Sloth Demon Venerable and Lust Demon Venerable.
Although the Immortal Venerables are doing their best to refine the negative plane to delay Han Fengxue's speed, they are still unable to completely stop Han Fengxue from devouring the other two Demon Venerables.
It is uncertain when Han Fengxue will finish devouring them, so we can only hurry!
After Han Fengxue devours the remaining two Demon Venerables, the Immortal Venerable predicts that Han Fengxue will either achieve transcendence directly or reach half-step transcendence.
But no matter what, even Han Fengxue at half-step transcendence will absolutely crush the five Great Immortal Venerables.
The only thing we can do is to let Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu quickly become Saints, and then become Immortal Venerables, complete the supreme authority of the positive plane, and then gather the power of the seven Immortal Venerables into one body to have a slim hope of resisting Han Fengxue."
After Wan Hong finished speaking, the conference room fell into deathly silence.
"It seems that the key to victory does not lie with us, but with the Immortal Venerable battlefield."
Heavenly Venerable sighed powerlessly.
As the first Saint in the Immortal Realm, he had experienced too much. He had always been the strongest, but it was not until the appearance of the Immortal Venerables that he realized his insignificance.
Di Jun slammed the table fiercely and cursed,
"Hmph, this Bai family is truly unfilial. Why did he go to destroy the Han family when he was fine? In the end, he created such a calamity as Han Fengxue."
"That's enough, say less. Even without Han Fengxue, wouldn't other Envy Demon Venerables appear in the negative plane?
Moreover, the one who personally killed Han Fengxue was the Golden Immortal Venerable Xia Dayu. If we talk about sin, his sin is even greater."
Wan Hong's gaze swept across all the Saints with deep thought,
"I heard that you all went to find Wan Lei before, wanting to exchange his Demon Ring?"
The Saints did not understand what he meant by this.
After casting a warning glance, Wan Hong looked at Wan Lei again,
"Wan Lei, you also know how crucial the contents of the Demon Ring are. Besides what I just said, the Immortal Venerable also asked me to tell you.
No matter who it is, whether it's a Saint, an Immortal Venerable, even me, or your wife Fang Xiaoyu, if they ask you for the Demon Ring, you absolutely **cannot** give it to them!
Remember, no one can have it.
Even if we are all defeated, and Han Fengxue attacks the Immortal Realm, and he wants to kill you.
Before you die, you must destroy the Demon Ring, understand?"
Wan Lei nodded blankly. He wouldn't give it to anyone. Was it because he was afraid that Han Fengxue would transform into someone else's appearance or control others?
Would he be that troublesome? He could just swat me to death and take it, couldn't he?
However, Wan Lei understood the importance of the Demon Ring.
Not only him, but the other Saints also understood.
Wan Hong said this to warn them not to try to get the Demon Ring anymore.
"Alright, that's all. You can all go and prepare. Wan Lei, remember, the life and death of the positive plane are all placed on you and Fang Xiaoyu."
"I understand, Sect Master."
Wan Lei stood up.
Although he could not participate in the war directly, he knew that this mission was much more important than fighting directly.
The Saints dispersed, each receiving orders to go be laborers and move bases.
Wan Lei also flew back to the Feiyu号 spacecraft.
"How is it?"
"What did the Sect Master say?"
"Where are we going to set up defenses? I see other armies are already deploying."
Seeing Wan Lei approach, everyone swarmed around him.
Wan Lei looked at everyone and said,
"I'm sorry, everyone, I may not be able to fight alongside you on the battlefield anymore."
"Ah? What's wrong? Are you going to die?"
Xia Yubing asked nervously and with concern.
"Can you say something more auspicious?"
Wan Lei rolled his eyes.
"The Sect Master just gave me a new mission, asking Xiaoyu and me to return to the Immortal Realm and become Saints as quickly as possible.
As for you all, wait for the notification from the Military Affairs Council. It should also be a defense mission.
The captain of the Thunder Rain team will be Wan Qianxin for now.
Wan Qianxin, I believe that with your wisdom and ability, you can lead the team well.
However, you also have a flaw, which is being too rational. Sometimes, being too rational is not good. You lack decisiveness. Remember, don't abandon any teammate."
"Hmph, I'm not much stronger than you?"
Wan Qianxin looked at Wan Lei and sighed,
"You can rest assured, we will all be fine, and we will wait for you to come back and lead us again."
