"Huh …"
Li Yao was fascinated. Thinking carefully for a long time, he suddenly realized what was going on and frowned. "What are you talking about? Why do I not deserve to be 'dominator of three Sectors and father of the Federation'? Why do I disappoint the young Cultivators and make them doubt the world and their life? Explain yourself!"
"It's just an analogy so that you can understand it better."
The mental devil hurried to add, "All in all, I'm not targeting you. What I'm saying is that for any leader who is praised as a god, there is always a huge gap between their glorious image in their propaganda materials and their real appearance. You have only been away from the Federation for a hundred years, and you are already so deformed that even your parents cannot recognize you. It is needless to say that Wuying Qi has been away from the Imperium for a thousand years. It is even less likely that he is what the textbooks of the Imperium and Lei Chenghu think he is.
"Then, once Lei Chenghu realizes the gap, it will be like falling from a cliff. All his hopes will be shattered, and his mind will be completely out of balance. Who knows what he will do in his fury?"
"Now that you put it that way … it does make sense!"
Li Yao's eyes flashed as he smashed his fists hard. "Lei Chenghu is a 'real Immortal Cultivator'. He is even known as the 'last Immortal Cultivator of the Imperium', but he lives in an 'age of doom' where etiquette is broken, morality is lost, and 99% of the Immortal Cultivators are selfish and corrupted. Faced with the bizarre society, it is impossible for him to save it on his own and restore the 'beautiful age of Immortal Cultivators' in his dream. It is not hard to imagine how frustrated and frustrated he was!
"In such a twisted state of mind, he regarded the legendary Blackstar the Great as his only psychological support. In Lei Chenghu's eyes, Wuying Qi was an unparalleled hero, if not a savior, who would return to save the Imperium one day on a colorful cloud!
"Then, it is needless to say how overjoyed and worshipped Lei Chenghu when Wuying Qi did show up.
"But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. If he discovers that Wuying Qi's real face is no different from the 'false Immortal Cultivators' such as the four Kurfürsten, or even more so, he will certainly feel that his idol has collapsed. He will be completely betrayed by Blackstar the Great, the Imperium, and even the entire world!
"Wow. If he had really been caught in the desperation where his idol had collapsed, he would've certainly retaliated against Wuying Qi crazily. Or rather, if he hadn't died because of mental derangement because of the collapse of his belief, chances were that he would've abandoned himself and embarked on the path of the Cultivators, worshipping me as the dominator of three Sectors and the founding father of the Federation instead!"
"You are overthinking. However disillusioned Lei Chenghu is, it is impossible for him to become a Cultivator, much less worship you."
The mental devil said solemnly, "However, one thing is certain. Lei Chenghu is a man who has a firm belief in the true path of immortality. He is a man who has broken away from vulgar interests and is made of special materials to fight for his ideals. It is even safe to say that he is a 'fundamentalist Immortal Cultivator'. If he discovers that Wuying Qi's belief does not match his or that Wuying Qi is a 'false Immortal Cultivator', he will not be loyal to Wuying Qi at all. By then, he will even kill Blackstar the Great in front of you!"
"That's right!"
The more Li Yao talked, the more excited he became. "Right now, Lei Chenghu hasn't seen through Wuying Qi's real face yet. That's why he is loyal to the thousand-year-old ghost and listens to his every word, jumping into the swamp that is the Seven Seas Space Zone without any hesitation. However, the deeper the love, the deeper the hatred. Once he sees through Wuying Qi's belief and realizes that Wuying Qi wants to be the eternal emperor of the Imperium, the civilization of mankind will be completely paralyzed, and he is even deeply connected to the Holy League, he will certainly rebel!
"Wuying Qi is well aware of that. Then, he has every reason to believe that Lei Chenghu is the greatest threat that is even more dreadful than the four Kurfürsten and the merchants of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors. Therefore, he has put the Thunder Fleet, the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors, and the coalition fleet of the four families into the same trap, allowing the three threats to fight each other until they perish together. In the meantime, he will be free to deal with the ace fleets of the four families. As long as the plans in the capital and the Seven Seas Space Zone work out, he will be invincible. Who in the entire Imperium will be a match for him?
"Although the whole plan is rather hasty and risky, Wuying Qi doesn't have a choice, because the army of the Holy League has been lurking in the depths of the dark space for such a long time. It's time for them to show up, isn't it? Wuying Qi has to unite the entire Imperium thunderously before the main force of the Holy League shows up. That's his only choice! "
"There's another possibility."
The mental devil added, "Although there is no proof, I'm very suspicious that Wuying Qi's trap in the capital contains something that tramples on the basic boundaries of the Immortal Cultivators. He knows that his plan is likely to raise Lei Chenghu's resistance and even fierce objection. That's why he took action in advance to weaken or even kill Lei Chenghu!"
Li Yao was slightly dazed. "Trampling on the boundaries of the Immortal Cultivators? The boundaries of the Immortal Cultivators are already so low that there are no boundaries at all, alright? What is Wuying Qi planning to do exactly by trampling on such boundaries? "
"I don't know, but assuming that Wuying Qi is really planning to turn the capital planet into an enormous crystal bomb and annihilate hundreds of billions of people and even the most elite fleets of the Imperium, Lei Chenghu will certainly object and even completely turn against him."
The mental devil further explained, "From what we know about Lei Chenghu, he is a loyal patriot and a zealous militarist. The army is the most sacred existence in his eyes. Even the ace fleets of the four families are also part of the army of the Imperium and the sabers of the civilization of mankind.
"Lei Chenghu's purpose is to unite all the troops of the Imperium into a national defense army that is truly loyal to the country. Naturally, the ace fleets of the four families are included, and those ace fleets will even be the main force.
"If Wuying Qi is really going to take down so many fleets at the cost of the entire capital, do you think Lei Chenghu will agree?
"Of course, according to our analysis just now, it is unlikely that Wuying Qi is really going to detonate the capital planet. But whatever his scheme is exactly, it will certainly be brutal approaches such as mutual destruction, which will greatly consume the military power of the Imperium. Then, as a fundamentalist Immortal Cultivator and a militarist, Lei Chenghu will certainly not agree to it.
"Wuying Qi foresaw that Lei Chenghu will object vehemently after his plan is activated and even stand on his opposite side together with the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors. Then, he will be screwed! Therefore, he made arrangements in advance and took down Lei Chenghu, the 'future best man in the military', too. Doesn't such a plan sound very reasonable? "
"It can't be more reasonable!"
Li Yao rose abruptly, his eyes glittering like a weasel who had caught the butt of a chicken. He rubbed his fists and said, "This is Wuying Qi's greatest flaw and our greatest opportunity. Chances are that his thorough scheme will make us the biggest winner!
"Wuying Qi placed the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors, the Thunder Fleet, and the coalition fleet of the four families in the bloody and cruel swamp that is the Seven Seas Space Zone, hoping that all three of them will suffer heavy losses. But he couldn't have foreseen the existence of Boss Bai and the 'Coalition Fleet of Pyromaniacs', much less Xiaoming and Wenwen.
"If … if we can persuade Lei Chenghu and reach a temporary alliance with him, with the combat ability of the Thunder Fleet and Lei Chenghu's prestige, together with the camouflage of the Coalition Fleet of Pyromaniacs and the computational ability of Xiaoming and Wenwen, we will definitely be able to destroy the coalition fleet of the four families commanded by Yun Xuefeng as quickly as possible. We will even be able to attract most of the people in the so-called 'alliance of a million starships' to our side!
"Then, it will be the competition of speed!
"The coalition fleet of the four families is not a pig, and their ace fleets are not pigs either. If they really launch a general attack at the Empyreal Terminus Sector, no matter how delicate Wuying Qi's arrangements are, it is impossible for him to annihilate all the ace fleets in half a month, right?
"Then, as long as we clean up the situation in the Seven Seas Space Zone before Wuying Qi's triumph, Boss Bai's fleet, Lei Chenghu's fleet, and the garrison fleet of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors will jump back to the Empyreal Terminus Sector together. At this moment, the Imperial Guards and the ace fleets of the four families must've suffered heavy losses in the battle. Won't we be the ones who will benefit from the battle? Haha. In such a case, Wuying Qi will be caught in a trap of his own making! "
"Well, although I think that your vision is too perfect, it is basically fine."
The mental devil was as calm as before. "However, there is one thing. How are you going to talk to Lei Chenghu? Who are you to talk to Lei Chenghu?
"On the surface, you are a traitor of the reformists and a lackey of the four families. Considering Lei Chenghu's stance as a general of the reformists and his loathing for evil, he will certainly blow you into smithereens with thousands of cannons, won't he?
"In fact, Wuying Qi must've told Lei Chenghu that you are a Cultivator a long time ago. Then, there is even less reason for Lei Chenghu not to blow you into smithereens!"
Li Yao blurted out, "Then, I will talk to him as the 'Black Wind King'!"
