This is the martial arts world, what are you cultivators interfering in?

Chapter 221 Sharing the Cycle of Reincarnation

"Are you really prepared to relinquish the power of reincarnation?"

Nie Lei stared at Li Lan.

Li Lan did not answer, but instead asked, "The power of reincarnation is coveted by all under heaven. I would like to know, if I give the power to the Wind and Thunder Alliance, can the Wind and Thunder Alliance hold onto it?"

Nie Lei snorted coldly and said, "The Wind and Thunder Alliance has countless experts and is not afraid of any other forces!"

Li Lan laughed and said, "I believe the Wind and Thunder Alliance has the ability to challenge the other major alliances, but what if the other nine major alliances put pressure on us together? Or even if the entire Origin Realm Thousand Alliances launch an attack at the same time? Does the Wind and Thunder Alliance have the courage to suppress the world?"

Nie Lei frowned slightly and asked, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Li Lan said slowly, "The Wind and Thunder Alliance alone cannot secure the reincarnation authority."

"The Wind and Thunder Alliance won't work, the War Alliance won't work, the Longevity Alliance won't work, and the Immortal Alliance won't work either."

"Therefore, if I were to give you the power of reincarnation, I would first have to consider your future. Otherwise, wouldn't that be shifting the blame to someone else?"

He smiled leisurely, and Nie Lei said, "You would be so kind?"

"Speak, what exactly are you plotting?"

Li Lan's smile gradually faded, and he finally said seriously, "The ten alliances will join forces to share the cycle of reincarnation!"

The ten alliances join forces to share the cycle of reincarnation!

Nie Lei's expression changed, and he asked, "How should we divide it?!"

Li Lan said, "The reason why cultivators all over the world are so eager for the power of reincarnation is simply because the power of reincarnation can lead to the end of the Black Sea and prove eternity."

"But no one can monopolize the power of reincarnation... My idea is that the ten alliances form a super alliance, and each alliance can select its elites to enter the underworld!"

"Now that the cycle of reincarnation is broken, the Bridge of Helplessness is deserted, and the Ten Great Halls are empty, each force can occupy a portion of the quota. In this way, the cycle of reincarnation is evenly distributed, and everyone can cross the dam and enter the source."

"Moreover, with the ten alliances united, other Origin Realm forces will not dare to provoke them, and they can also avoid mutual slaughter and bloodshed."

Li Lan finished speaking.

Nie Lei sneered, "In that case, the Ten Alliances have become your helpers. They have helped you perfect the cycle of reincarnation and rebuild the underworld, and you can still reap the benefits without losing your status as the Lord of Reincarnation!"

Li Lan said frankly, "No one gets up early for nothing. If I have no benefit, why would I scheme for you?"

This was indeed a solution he came up with.

Everyone benefits!

Moreover, by leveraging the power of various forces, they first regained control of the underworld.

The feasibility of this method lies in the fact that all major powers will have to weigh the pros and cons!

If they agree, they can get a share of the profits, avoid a bloody war, and with the help of the major alliances, Li Lan will soon be able to lead them to gain benefits.

I disagree. If we seize the reincarnation, we can monopolize the benefits, but the price will inevitably be a fierce battle. Moreover, it will take a long time to take the reincarnation power away from Li Lan.

This is a difficult decision.

The major powers will likely hesitate.

Hesitation is Li Lan's opportunity!

This is a strategy of maneuvering and maneuvering, making full use of the contradictions and desires between various forces to gain space and time for oneself.

"Mr. Nie, rest assured, if this matter succeeds, I can guarantee that you will have a place in the cycle of reincarnation."

Li Lan spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this, Nie Lei couldn't help but be intrigued: "Is this really true?!"

Even if the Wind and Thunder Alliance manages to seize the Samsara, only a few will ultimately be able to use the power of Samsara to attain eternity. Nie Lei may not be able to obtain this benefit. Now that Li Lan has made such a promise, how can he not be tempted?

"Mr. Nie, you might as well go back and discuss this matter with your allies. Whether it succeeds or not, I, Li, will wait for good news."

Li Lan said.

Nie Lei paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Very well! In that case, I'll head back now—"

After saying that, he left immediately.

After he left, Li Lan remained calm and waited. Sure enough, not long after, the Elder Shi Yin of the Extreme Yin Alliance could no longer sit still and soon came to see Li Lan.

"What composure the new master has!"

As soon as the old man Shiyin entered, he spoke in a cold voice, "I heard that Nie Lei of the Wind and Thunder Alliance has already come. I suppose the price for the Reincarnation Authority has been agreed upon?"

Li Lan sensed the probing intent in his words, but instead raised a glass of wine, took a slow sip, and said, "Not bad."

"The Wind and Thunder Alliance has agreed to join my War Alliance. In return, we will share the Reincarnation Association with them, and we will reserve a certain number of places for them in places like the Bridge of Helplessness and the Ten Great Halls."

Upon hearing this, the old man Shi Yin's feigned composure vanished instantly. Startled, he exclaimed, "Is this true?!"

He rushed over because he was afraid that the Wind and Thunder Alliance and the War Alliance had made some kind of deal, and now that he saw it... sure enough.

"certainly,"

Li Lan said casually, "My alliance alone is not enough to compete with all the alliances in the world. So, what's wrong with having a few allies to share the benefits?"

Old Man Shiyin felt a chill and said, "So, does the new master think that the Wind and Thunder Alliance plus your War Alliance is enough to contend with the world?"

"Not enough,"

Li Lan said, "But a few more would be enough."

Upon hearing this, the old man Shiyin was relieved and said, "So, the new master was waiting for me all along?"

His words had unconsciously gained a touch of respect.

Li Lan nodded: "In my opinion, an alliance of the five major forces should be sufficient... Originally, the Dream-Slaying Celestial Venerable just informed me that several other alliances requested to privately conclude agreements with us, but I always keep my promises. Since the Extreme Yin Alliance has already arrived, I still need to meet with them..."

The old man in the stone grove asked, "What conditions are required if we join?"

Li Lan said, "Forming a super alliance with the War Alliance to unite against external threats, and sharing resources to fully support my reconstruction of Reincarnation, is your contribution."

"In the cycle of reincarnation, the Second Hall can be handed over to your Extreme Yin Alliance. At that time, I will reserve a place for you. This is a benefit for you."

Business is discussed openly and honestly.

Even the old man Shiyin couldn't help but hesitate!

Because the conditions offered by Li Lan were indeed quite attractive.

Especially... they even saved one for him!

"You can take your time to think about it. If you agree, just reply to me within three days."

Li Lan smiled and said, "I won't keep you any longer, Senior—"

This is already a signal to see the guest off.

Old Man Shiyin stood up, but said, "Can the new master make an oath?"

"If I succeed in handling this matter, can the new master guarantee that I will have a place in the cycle of reincarnation?!"

Li Lan said, "If this matter succeeds, Li Lan guarantees that Old Man Shi Yin will be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation and be protected by it; otherwise, he will be punished by heaven and earth and perish from the Great Dao!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Shi Yin was relieved and said, "Alright, if there is any news within the alliance, I will inform the new master immediately."

After saying that, he left.

After he left, a third person arrived!

Chi Xue, the special envoy of the Eternal Life Alliance!

She was dressed in white, her eyes misty, her figure tall and beautiful, seemingly no different from flesh and blood. A faint frost settled on her face as she stared at Li Lan and said:

"The new master has completed negotiations with the Wind and Thunder Alliance and the Extreme Yin Alliance. Has the reincarnation power been traded with the two alliances? What are the terms?"

Li Lan said, "Those who form an alliance with my alliance can share the spoils, and both alliances have agreed."

"If Miss Chi Xue is interested, she may inform the alliance first and give me a reply within three days."

It gets easier as you go on!

Because those who come after will feel panicked, afraid of being left off the bus and unable to participate in this grand event. Therefore, Li Lan only needs to point it out lightly, and they will naturally become anxious!

But Chi Xue said, "I can give you an answer now, in less than three days."

She looked at Li Lan and said, "If the new leader sweeps away the Origin Realm and conquers the Heart of the Origin again, the Longevity Alliance will follow the new leader."

"If you want to join forces with the major powers of the Origin Realm, collude on interests, and share the cycle of reincarnation, then the Eternal Life Alliance will fight you to the death and will surely kill you to seize the cycle of reincarnation!"

Upon hearing this, Li Lan was taken aback and looked at Chi Xue with some surprise!

What does Chi Xue mean by this?

To sweep away the Origin Realm and then fight the Origin once more?

Although the beings in the Origin Realm were all those who died fighting against the Origin, is there any force in the Origin Realm today that truly has such ambition? Even within the War Alliance, which takes war as its banner, there are dissenting voices, and it may be difficult to unify their will!

After all, the Origin Realm is now full of bizarre creatures. Would they really give up everything they have now to fight a war that seems almost impossible to win, all for the sake of their dying wish?

The eight words "sweep away the Origin Realm and fight the Origin Again" are likely to be ridiculed and will attract hostility from all over the world!

It was precisely based on this point that Li Lan came up with the idea of ​​sharing power.

He certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to allow those strange creatures to seize the power of reincarnation.

The reason for doing this is nothing more than a strategy of diplomacy, a delaying tactic, a test of waters, and it can even be seen as a kind of strategic deception against the major powers.

By using deception, he prevented the major powers from turning against the alliance and launching a coordinated attack on him, while also swindling resources from them to quickly repair the cycle...

Once Li Lan grows up, he will wipe out all the major forces in one fell swoop!

This operation might seem like a betrayal or a betrayal of trust, but Li Lan didn't care. The beings in the Origin Realm were no longer human; they were merely pawns controlled by the Origin. Why bother talking to them about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness?

Li Lan isn't stupid!

He was not a hothead, nor a madman who acted recklessly in the heat of the moment. He was the Grand Preceptor of the Great Li Kingdom, who had experienced the ups and downs of officialdom, who had outwitted the Celestial Court's acting ruler, Xun Yuan Tianjun, countless times, and who had fought against the entire Celestial Realm but ultimately emerged victorious. He was now the "Celestial Lord" in the eyes of all the beings in the Celestial Realm...

Therefore, he clearly understands how to utilize contradictions and how to develop himself, which requires strategy and courage.

What now appears to be a compromise or reconciliation with various powers is actually an art of struggle.

But Chi Xue's sudden utterance of those eight words caught him somewhat off guard.

I'm trying to talk business with you, and suddenly you want to talk about ideals?

It is this feeling.

"Not everyone in the Origin Realm has forgotten their past mission,"

Chi Xue spoke calmly, saying, "Therefore, the new master of reincarnation we need is someone who can fight the source again. If you are not that person, then you should hand over your authority and die."

She spoke very frankly.

Li Lan smiled but did not answer, saying, "See the guest out."

Chi Xue frowned, a flash of anger crossing her beautiful eyes.

"Young Master Duobao requests an audience—"

At this moment, the King of Qi's voice came.

Chi Xue didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

Watching her departing figure, Li Lan seemed lost in thought.

Chi Xue didn't seem to be putting on an act to him.

However, in any case, at this critical juncture, Li Lan could not allow the other party to guess his true intentions.

"A clever method of reincarnation and new mastery,"

At this moment, a handsome young man walked in, waving a folding fan. He was elegant and said with a smile, "With a flick of your finger, you turned a seemingly hopeless situation into something extraordinary. You truly deserve to be a person who can turn the world upside down in the immortal realm."

"So, Young Master Duobao, do you have a choice?" Li Lan asked in return.

"Don't rush to make a decision."

Young Master Duobao smiled and said, "I came here just to have a drink with you."

"Let's not talk business, at least not right now!"

He walked up to Li Lan, poured himself a glass of wine, and said, "Looking across the world, there are few heroes like you. Whether we are enemies or friends tomorrow, it's always worthwhile to toast you. Please—"

Li Lan was well aware of the Creation Alliance's intentions, and without any haste, said, "Alright, please!"

……

"Nie Lei and Elder Shi Yin have already left. Chi Xue is still in the city, waiting for something. Young Master Duobao and the new master have been drinking together and haven't dispersed yet."

The messenger reported this to Zhanmeng Tianzun and the others.

"The plan has succeeded."

The Dream-Slaying Celestial Venerable truly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Li Lan is indeed quite brilliant!"

"What's so clever about it? To put it bluntly, it's just ceding territory to make peace? It's nothing but surrender!"

Yongqing spoke with disdain, his jealousy evident in his words!

……

And this moment.

somewhere.

"Reporting to the elder, the people from the Wind and Thunder Alliance, the Creation Alliance, the Longevity Alliance, and the Extreme Yin Alliance have all met with Li Lan."

An old man in gray robes listened to his subordinate's report, his eyes filled with coldness, and said, "These four alliances are truly despicable. They took a bite as soon as a piece of flesh and blood threw out a bait."

"Fellow Daoist Xinghui, do you think this matter is inappropriate?"

Another person next to them asked a question.

"Li Lan is quite wise. Sharing the reincarnation authority with all parties is indeed his best strategy. Moreover, in this way, all parties will hesitate because they are afraid of the cost of seizing it and the cost of changing the reincarnation master."

The old man known as Star Ash sneered: "But what makes Li Lan the leader? Does he really think he's the irreplaceable new master of reincarnation?"

"Our Immortal Alliance has cultivated that person's Reincarnation Technique, which allows us to easily replace him and dominate Reincarnation!"

"My intention is to eliminate Li Lan and remove the War Alliance, so that our nine alliances can share the cycle of reincarnation. Is that acceptable?"

This is their Immortal Alliance's countermeasure!

When Li Lan made his statement, the Immortal Alliance held closed-door discussions for a long time before figuring out his intentions.

Moreover, even many experts within the alliance highly praised Li Lan's plan.

Therefore, their strategy was actually to copy part of Li Lan's approach, share it with other forces, and thus secure the reincarnation authority!

However, the dominant force needs to be changed to their Immortal Alliance.

Among the ten major alliances, only the Immortal Alliance could achieve this, because they had once cultivated that person's reincarnation technique.

"That's fine too. The War Alliance has always been at odds with us, and the White Emperor's actions are unpredictable. Besides, by excluding the War Alliance, everyone can get a bigger share..."

The person next to him spoke up.

The old man with the star-grey hair immediately waved his hand and said, "Send word that the Immortal Alliance will await this child in Tianyuan in three days!"

"By the way, let's summon Taihong Heavenly Venerable as well. His refining array will be useful in this matter, hehe!"
