The Rebirth of the Immortal Emperor: I am the Lord

In front of the mountain gate of Tianyuan Immortal Palace, although the guard disciple was extremely disrespectful, Lei Zhen did not dare to show his displeasure on his face. Not only did he not dare to show his dissatisfaction, but he had to present the generous gift with a smile.

However, the guard disciple glanced at the precious spiritual materials, elixirs and immortal tools, and although a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, he quickly regained his composure. He did not accept the gifts immediately, but said calmly: "Since you are here to see the Palace Master, then wait for a moment, and I will report to the Palace Master."

After that, the guard disciple turned and entered the mountain gate, leaving Lei Zhen and his group waiting anxiously outside. Time seemed to slow down at this moment, and every second seemed to be torture. Lei Zhen's heart was full of anxiety and uneasiness. He knew in his heart that he had seized the Li family's world without the permission of Tianyuan Immortal Palace. He didn't know whether Tianyuan Immortal Palace would blame him for this, he didn't know whether Tianyuan Immortal Palace would lend a hand, and he didn't know whether his empire could escape this disaster.

Finally, after a long wait, an old man in gorgeous Taoist robes slowly walked out of the mountain gate with the guard. He looked at Lei Zhen calmly, nodded slightly, and then said, "Emperor Lei Zhen, I have heard of your great name for a long time. I am the elder in charge of internal affairs of Tianyuan Immortal Palace. The Palace Master has learned of your purpose, but the Immortal Palace is a holy place for cultivation and does not care about worldly affairs. Please go back."

Upon hearing this, Lei Zhen felt as if he was struck by lightning, his face turned pale instantly, and a bad premonition rushed straight to his head, but he forced himself to remain calm, not letting this momentary disappointment and fear affect the purpose of his trip. He took a deep breath, trying to calm the waves in his heart, and then respectfully bowed to the elder, and said sincerely: "Elder, I know that Tianyuan Immortal Palace is detached from the world and does not care about worldly affairs, but this time I came here, it is actually related to the safety of the Thunder Empire and even Tianyuan Immortal Palace. I hope that the elder can be flexible and give me a chance to personally appeal to the Palace Master."

Hearing this, the elder's face did not show any fluctuations, but he still sighed slightly! He continued: "Mundane things are mundane! Lei Zhen, since you can seize the world of the Li family, it should be no problem for you to deal with Ye Tian. Why bother to disturb the quiet place of the Immortal Palace!"

Hearing this, Lei Zhen's heart sank, but he did not give up, but strengthened his determination. He was not stupid. He had heard from the elder's words that he was dissatisfied with his seizure of the Li family's power in the Dafeng Empire. Although he had previously sent ministers with generous gifts to report to the Tianyuan Immortal Palace, he did not get a clear statement from the Tianyuan Immortal Palace. At this moment, it seemed that he had not passed this stage of secretly seizing the Li family's power. But he knew that this visit to the Tianyuan Immortal Palace was his last chance, and he could not give up so easily. If he did not get the support of the Tianyuan Immortal Palace, within a month, Ye Tian's iron cavalry of the Yanhuang Empire would step into the imperial city. By then, not only would his throne be in danger, but his life would also be in danger. He knew that Ye Tian would never let him go, just like if he was the victorious party, he would never let Ye Tian go.

"Elder, the Li family is unrighteous, and everyone knows it. They have disregarded the safety of the empire and have been scheming against each other for a long time, which has led to many contradictions and civil unrest within the empire. The entire empire has gradually split, and the major princes and cities have shown signs of secession, making it difficult for the people of the empire to live. In addition, Luofeng and Tongqian have been constantly violating the border and encroaching on our territory; Ye Tian has taken advantage of the situation and risen up. If I don't stand up, the Dafeng Empire may have been divided among the three forces long ago."

Sighing, Lei Zhen continued, "Elder, it's not a big deal for me, Lei Zhen, to lose my empire. The worst outcome is just death. However, the Luofeng Empire, the Tongqian Empire, and Ye Tian's Yanhuang Empire all have powerful sects backing them up. Once the territories of the Dafeng Empire are all occupied by them, the Immortal Palace will inevitably lose the indispensable support of the secular world!"

"Especially Ye Tian, ​​who is cunning, cruel, ruthless, and vicious..., and he is particularly good at taking advantage of the people! From his appearance to now, the policies he has implemented have all been deliberately targeting the bottom line of our ancient forces, and have all been shaking the foundation of our ancient forces! If he is allowed to grow and develop, and if he really becomes powerful, he will definitely become a bloodthirsty wolf! By then, I am afraid that the entire Northern Wilderness will no longer be able to suppress this person. By then, I am afraid that our ancient forces will lose their foothold. Therefore, in order to preserve the territory of the Gale Empire, I have no choice but to do so. I hope that the elders will lend a hand and kill Ye Tian, ​​the thief, so that I can recover the lost territory, considering that the Gale Empire originally belongs to the Immortal Palace."

"Please rest assured, Elder. Although I changed the name of the Gale Empire to the Thunder Empire, both the original Gale Empire and the current Thunder Empire originally belonged to the Tianyuan Immortal Palace. As long as the Immortal Palace takes action to preserve the Thunder Empire, I promise that I will follow the lead of the Immortal Palace in the future and the annual tribute will not be less..." Lei Zhen's words were sincere and his analysis was to the point. Although he used high-sounding reasons to cover up his murder of his master and seizure of power from the Li family, it was not without reason.

The elder frowned slightly when he heard this, as if Lei Zhen's words had touched some thoughts. He was silent for a moment, then sighed slightly and said slowly: "Lei Zhen, although what you said makes sense. But the Immortal Palace has its own rules, and we cannot easily interfere in the affairs of the mortal world. However, since you are so persistent, this elder will take you to see the Palace Master. As for whether the Palace Master is willing to see you and whether he is willing to help you, it depends on your luck. But you must remember that no matter what the result is, you must respect the rules and decisions of the Immortal Palace."

When Lei Zhen heard this, an indescribable fire of hope suddenly surged in his heart. He quickly bowed again and said gratefully: "Thank you for your help, Elder. Lei Zhen will be careful in what he says and does, and live up to your high expectations."

Later, under the leadership of the elder deacon of internal affairs, Lei Zhen and his party passed through layers of clouds and formations and came to the core area of ​​Tianyuan Palace. The environment here is more quiet and the spiritual energy is more abundant, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. Lei Zhen knows that what he is about to face is not just a simple meeting, but a fate of life and death.

Deep in the palace, a middle-aged scholar wearing a simple Taoist robe, but exuding an extraordinary aura, was resting with his eyes closed. A faint aura of immortals surrounded him, as if he had merged with the world. He was the Palace Master of Tianyuan Immortal Palace, Nangong Tingyu, a powerful person in the late stage of the Immortal Venerable Realm, who was powerful enough to shake the world.

"Palace Master, Lei Zhen insists on seeing you. I hope you will give him a chance." Arriving outside where Nangong Tingyu was, the elder reported carefully, fearing that he would be blamed by Nangong Tingyu if he took the initiative to bring Lei Zhen in.

"I understand." Nangong Tingyu responded calmly. As he spoke, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lei Zhen with a breathtaking light. In an instant, Lei Zhen felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. His whole body seemed to be restrained by an invisible pressure. He could not move at all, and even breathing became extremely difficult. He suppressed the fear and shock in his heart, and tried to maintain his calmness on the surface, not letting his panic show.

Nangong Tingyu's eyes were as sharp as torches, as if he could see through people's hearts. He looked at Lei Zhen for a long while before the invisible pressure slowly dissipated. Lei Zhen was able to regain his freedom, but beads of sweat had already seeped out of his forehead.

“Lei Zhen, as a mighty general of the Dafeng Empire and with a large army under your command, you did not think first about suppressing the rebellion and resisting foreign enemies. Instead, you took advantage of the Li royal family's fight for the throne to rebel, and your methods were cruel. Although such behavior may make you dominant for a while in the mortal world, it is truly disloyal and unrighteous in the eyes of the immortals, and it goes against the will of heaven and cannot be forgiven lightly.” Although Nangong Tingyu's voice was soft, it carried unquestionable majesty.

Lei Zhen was shocked when he heard this. He immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully to admit his fault: "The Palace Master is right. I, Lei Zhen, know that I have committed serious sins, but I have many difficulties. I hope the Palace Master will understand. At the beginning, the demons invaded, the royal family of the Dafeng Empire was in turmoil, the Luofeng and Tongqian empires continued to wage wars, and Ye Tian took the opportunity to establish his own dynasty and rule one side, causing panic among the people. The government was not right, the government was unstable, the people were living in dire straits, and the people were in dire straits. Although I am the general of Tianwei and hold a large number of troops, my power is limited. I am completely unable to change the decision of the royal family, nor am I able to change the internal disputes of the royal family. I can only watch the empire fall step by step. Seeing that the country is about to fall and the people are suffering, I am extremely anxious.

At that time, the Li royal family fought for the throne, brothers fought against each other, and the court was in chaos. No one cared about the safety of the empire and the suffering of the people. Although I, Lei Zhen, am a warrior, I also care about the empire and the people. I don't want to see the beautiful mountains and rivers destroyed and the people displaced. So, after weighing many options, I chose to start an army. But this is not for personal desire, but to quell the civil strife, drive out foreign enemies, restore national peace and prosperity, let the people live and work in peace, and let the power of Tianyuan Palace last forever on this land.

However, once the war started, it was like a flood and a beast, difficult to control. Although I felt reluctant and helpless, I had to make some difficult decisions for the stability of the empire. Of course, I also knew that these decisions caused the sacrifice of many innocent people, which is also the eternal pain in my heart and the regret that I can never make up for in this life.

Now, although I have ascended the throne, I do not feel the slightest satisfaction or pride in my heart. Instead, I feel uneasy and as if I have a thorn in my back. I know very well that this throne carries the expectations and responsibilities of countless people, as well as countless sufferings and sacrifices. I always remind myself to govern the country diligently, work hard to make up for past mistakes, build the country strong, and offer more resources to the Fairy Palace.

However, after I took the throne, I realized how difficult it was to govern this broken country! Originally, I thought that as long as I defeated Ye Tian's Yanhuang Empire, I could drive out the enemy and consolidate the rule of the Thunder Empire. But who knew that Ye Tian's rebellious traitor was not destroyed, but instead caused the empire's army to lose more than half, and the national strength was sharply reduced! Now, Ye Tian is taking advantage of the weakness of my empire to launch a fierce attack. At present, nearly half of the empire's territory has been occupied by Ye Tian.

Facing the fierce army of the Yanhuang Empire, our Thunder Empire is no longer able to contend. If the Immortal Palace does not help, the Empire will be in danger——!"
