The Rebirth of the Immortal Emperor: I am the Lord

In the imperial palace of the Thunder Empire, the atmosphere of tension and oppression permeated the magnificent hall. Lei Zhen, wearing a gorgeous imperial robe, sat on the high dragon throne. His hands tightly grasped the armrests of the dragon throne, veins popping out, as if that was the only thing he could rely on at the moment. His face was gloomy and terrifying, his eyes revealed deep worry and uneasiness, his brows were furrowed, his lips were tightly closed, and he said nothing.

All the civil and military officials looked at Lei Zhen with a gloomy face, and were as silent as a cicada, not even daring to breathe. They all knew that at this moment, any careless words or inappropriate actions might cause the emperor to be furious.

At this moment, Lei Zhen kept replaying the ups and downs of his journey in his mind, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings. He recalled that he had gone from an unknown little man to the emperor of the Thunder Empire, and every step was full of hardship and struggle, blood and killing. Now, facing such a desperate situation, he felt both angry and unwilling.

"Is the foundation of the Thunder Empire going to be destroyed like this?" This question hit his heart like a heavy hammer, making him unable to breathe. Lei Zhen asked himself in his heart, but then he showed an unwilling expression, "No, I can't give up, I still have a chance, I still have a way to break the deadlock!" A trace of ruthlessness and determination flashed in his eyes.

He raised his head, his eyes passing through the empty hall, and fell on the civil and military officials who were still standing in front of him. Some of them looked desperate, some were secretly thinking of countermeasures, but more people chose to remain silent, waiting for the decision of him, the emperor.

"My dear ministers," Lei Zhen's voice was particularly clear in the empty hall, "I know that the Thunder Empire is already in danger, and the current situation is extremely unfavorable to us. But as long as we don't give up, we still have a chance..." His words were filled with a desperate determination, which brought a glimmer of life to the originally silent hall, and a glimmer of light appeared in the eyes of the civil and military officials again.

“Although I don’t know the reason why Tianyuan Immortal Palace has not taken action against Yanhuang Empire and Ye Tian, ​​it was Palace Master Nangong who promised to help my Lei Ting Empire deal with Ye Tian. I think, maybe Tianyuan Immortal Palace needs a suitable opportunity, a best opportunity to destroy Yanhuang Empire and Ye Tian in one fell swoop.” “However, now there are only a few hundred cities left in the territory of my Lei Ting Empire, and it is possible that it will be annexed by Yanhuang Empire at any time. In this severe situation, we can no longer wait, we can’t afford to wait, and we can’t sit and wait for death.”

So I decided: "On the one hand, I will send more envoys to the Tianyuan Immortal Palace to seek their help; on the other hand, we cannot pin all our hopes on the Tianyuan Immortal Palace. While sending envoys to the Tianyuan Immortal Palace, we will also send envoys to Luo Feng and Tongqian Empire as well as Wuji Palace and Kunqian Immortal Palace. Even if it costs some price, we must let them join forces to deal with Ye Tian..." Lei Zhen's decision was like a thunderclap, echoing in the palace and shocking the hearts of all civil and military officials.

"Your Majesty, forgive me for being so bold and blunt. There is nothing wrong with seeking help from the Tianyuan Immortal Palace. However, if we seek help from the Luofeng Empire, the Tongqian Empire, the Wuji Palace, and the Kunqian Immortal Palace, they are all hostile forces to us and the Tianyuan Immortal Palace. Will this move anger the Tianyuan Immortal Palace? After all, although we have changed the name of the empire, our upper sect is still the Tianyuan Immortal Palace..." After hearing Lei Zhen's plan to save the country, an old minister stood up after hesitating for a while and said nervously, showing that the minister was worried about Lei Zhen's plan.

Hearing this, Lei Zhen slowly glanced at the civil and military officials in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "I have also considered what you are worried about. But the current situation is extremely urgent. Ye Tian's Yanhuang Empire is expanding day by day, and his ambition to replace our Lei Ting Empire is obvious. Now their army has arrived outside the imperial city of our Lei Ting Empire, and they may launch a general attack at any time. And with the current strength of our Lei Ting Empire alone, it is difficult to resist the threat of the Yanhuang Empire. If we don't get help from other forces, we will eventually perish."

"Of course, although our Thunder Empire is under the jurisdiction of Tianyuan Immortal Palace, I do not see their sincerity in this critical moment of life and death! So I have no choice but to do this. If we want to survive and keep the Thunder Empire, we cannot put all our hopes on Tianyuan Immortal Palace."

"As for the fear of offending the Tianyuan Immortal Palace, I believe that with their wisdom and foresight, they will understand our difficulties. Moreover, we are not betraying the Tianyuan Immortal Palace. We are just seeking a more powerful force to protect ourselves...!"

"Besides," Lei Zhen's voice became more firm, revealing an unquestionable majesty, "In this chaotic world, the strong are respected and interests come first. If Tianyuan Immortal Palace really wants to maintain its status and dignity and let us support and support it, it should understand the difficult choices we make when facing life and death. We seek cooperation with other forces not only to protect ourselves, but also to eliminate Ye Tian and the huge threat of the Yanhuang Empire. After all, if Ye Tian's ambition succeeds, the foundations of all the ancient forces in the Northern Wilderness will be severely impacted, or even devastating. For our ancient forces, if Ye Tian does not die, it will be a monstrous catastrophe, an unprecedented disaster."

"Your Majesty! What should we do if they are unwilling to take action against Ye Tian?" After hearing Lei Zhen's words, the minister asked again.

"They will take action." Lei Zhen said firmly and affirmatively. "If they don't take action, our today will be their tomorrow. I believe they will understand this truth." "Although the three empires' coalition forces' attack on the Yanhuang Empire ended with the failure of our coalition forces, Ye Tian did not give up because of our failure. This can be seen from the fact that he turned around and concentrated his forces to attack our Thunder Empire. Moreover, I can see from Ye Tian's actions that Ye Tian's ambition is definitely not just against our Thunder Empire. Once our Thunder Empire is defeated, then it will be their turn. Therefore, I conclude that this time, they will definitely not sit idly by...!"

Every word Lei Zhen said was powerful and full of confidence. At the same time, he also made a thorough analysis of the overall situation in the Northern Wasteland, and calculated that under the threat of the Yanhuang Empire, other ancient forces would not remain indifferent. Because no one could guarantee that Ye Tian would not expand again after his Thunder Empire was destroyed.

Once Ye Tian takes action against them, other ancient forces will directly face Ye Tian's Yanhuang Empire, especially the Luofeng Empire and the Tongqian Empire. If they do not unite as one, they will be more easily defeated one by one by the Yanhuang Empire. By then, the strength of the Yanhuang Empire will increase greatly, and there will be no place for them to survive. The result waiting for them is probably the same as ours. There is only one result, and that is destruction, unless a miracle happens.

The same is true for the three major sects. If the secular world is completely occupied by Ye Tian's Yanhuang Empire, then even if Ye Tian does not take action against the three major sects, they will become like castles in the air. After all, Ye Tian's own Yanhuang Empire has the Yanhuang Academy, and even has a mission hall and an exchange hall. Instead of joining the three declining sects, the young talents of the Northern Wilderness would rather join the thriving Yanhuang Academy. Even joining the army is a good choice. At the very least, you can get the opportunity to obtain the skills by contributing points to the mission.

And what Lei Zhen said was also right. Ye Tian's ambition was indeed not as simple as just taking over the Thunder Empire. Destroying the Thunder Empire was just the beginning, and unifying the human forces in the Northern Wasteland was not the end. For Ye Tian, ​​unifying the human race in the fairy world and the Northern Wasteland was just a starting point.

Thunder Empire, although Lei Zhen's behavior is risky, it has to be said that it is indeed the best way to solve their current predicament when Tianyuan Immortal Palace is reluctant to deal with Ye Tian. Moreover, Lei Zhen has a worst-case scenario in his mind that he has not said out loud, that is, if Tianyuan Immortal Palace really abandons him and his Thunder Empire and leaves him in dire straits, he will choose to seek self-protection and shelter from the other two sects at all costs. In his heart, the sect that can save his life and throne and protect him is worthy of his loyalty and dedication. However, from now on, Tianyuan Immortal Palace has disappointed him greatly on this point!

But Lei Zhen also understood that in this world where the strong are respected, there are no eternal allies, only eternal interests. If Tianyuan Immortal Palace really chooses to abandon him and his empire, then he, Lei Zhen, will not sit and wait for death, but will look for a new way out to fight for survival space for himself and the Thunder Empire, even if it means turning against Tianyuan Immortal Palace in the end. After all, for his current situation, saving his life is more important than anything else.

In the court of the Thunder Empire, Lei Zhen's words were thought-provoking and made people think deeply. Civil and military officials also knew that what Lei Zhen said was absolutely the only way to solve the current predicament of the empire. They knew that if Tianyuan Immortal Palace did not take action, and their Thunder Empire, without the support and help of other forces, faced the fierce and ferocious army of the Yanhuang Empire, they would have no way out. Therefore, although Lei Zhen's plan had the risk of offending Tianyuan Immortal Palace, being blamed by Tianyuan Immortal Palace, or even punished, it was the only way to protect himself.

After hearing Lei Zhen's analysis and decision, the civil and military officials present were moved and their desire to survive became stronger. After all, in the Thunder Empire, they were in high positions, enjoying wealth and splendor, and who would want to die if they could live?

"Your Majesty is wise! We will go all out and act according to your deployment. We will follow your Majesty to the death and defend the Thunder Empire to the death!" Inside the hall, the passionate oaths of civil and military officials echoed. Lei Zhen's decision seemed like a powerful force, instantly gathering together everyone's ups and downs and uneasy mood.

However, no one knew whether the trajectory of history would develop in the direction judged by Lei Zhen. Moreover, even if all the ancient forces in the Northern Wilderness were gathered together, it was still unknown whether they could resist Ye Tian's violent and turbulent offensive.
