Chapter 16385 Decision
The elders understood Wan Hai's subtext: he said he wouldn't allow everyone in the Wan family to believe in the Creation God Cult, which meant he intended to have a portion of the Wan family believe in the Creation God Cult.

The elders didn't immediately object; instead, they carefully considered Wan Hai's suggestion. Wan Hai, observing their expressions, continued, "Over the years, the number of disciples in our Wan family has increased significantly. Among them are members of our main family, those born into the family, and some rogue cultivators we've taken in. Some of these people have great potential and we can focus on nurturing them, but many others have lost their potential. If we encourage them to follow the Creation God Sect, perhaps their strength will increase once again. Although they will follow the Creation God Sect, they will still be members of the family. We can then send them to attack the Blood Slaughter Sect, allowing them to obtain the rewards."

After hearing his words, all the elders of the Wan family fell silent. They understood perfectly what Wan Hai meant. Wan Hai's words sounded good, as if they were for the good of those clansmen who had little potential. He suggested that they should believe in the Creation God Sect so that their strength would increase, and then they could attack the Blood Slaughter Sect and obtain rewards. Although some of these rewards would end up in the hands of the family, those who carried out the operation would also receive a considerable share. It did seem to be for the good of those people.

However, these elders were well aware that once those people embarked on this path, it meant they would be labeled as members of the Creation God Cult. If the Divine Kingdom were to purge the Creation God Cult, those clansmen who believed in the Creation God Cult would not fare well either. In fact, from the moment those clansmen began to believe in the Creation God Cult, they were essentially abandoned by the family. This was why Wan Hai sought out clansmen without potential, because even if they abandoned them, it would not have any impact on the Wan family.

To be honest, they were really reluctant to give up those clansmen. At this moment, an elder spoke up: "Clan leader, your suggestion is actually feasible, but if it is just the most ordinary reward, then we don't really need to do it, unless there is a reward that is attractive enough to us."

Wan Hai was taken aback, then looked at the elder and asked with some confusion, "Fifth Uncle, what do you mean?"

Fifth Uncle spoke up: "We can discuss it with His Majesty. If we can accumulate those rewards and exchange them for things like land or mines when they reach a certain level, then it would be acceptable for our family disciples to do so. Otherwise, it's really unnecessary to do this with just ordinary rewards."

Upon hearing his fifth uncle's words, Wan Hai's eyes lit up. He said, "Fifth Uncle's suggestion is good. If it's really feasible, we can give it a try. Here's what I'll do: I'll write to His Majesty now and ask him if he agrees to the suggestion." After saying that, he immediately took out a jade slip, entered some information into it, and then called someone over to send the jade slip to Gongliang Juewen immediately.

When Wan Hai and Gongliang Juewen contacted each other, it was impossible for them to send messages directly to each other. Instead, there were people specifically in charge of this matter. The Wan family had people specifically in charge of sending messages and even inputting content into the jade slip. Gongliang Juewen also had people specifically in charge of receiving and sending messages. These were the most basic procedures.

Gongliang Juewen quickly received Wan Hai's letter. After reading its contents, he considered it and finally agreed to Wan Hai's proposal. He immediately sent a reply to Wan Hai, and not only did he inform Wan Hai, but he also informed other families and sects. He notified everyone he could reach, because such benefits shouldn't be reserved for the Wan family. Everyone could do it. Gongliang Juewen was well aware that as long as he agreed to the proposal, all sects and families would be motivated and would desperately attack the Blood Slaughter Sect. However, he wasn't worried; he had confidence in the Blood Slaughter Sect.

He's becoming more and more like a disciple of the Blood Slaughter Sect. The current disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect have an incredibly strong faith in the sect, and he's the same.

When the people from various sects and families received Gongliang Juewen's letter, they immediately understood his meaning. He was encouraging them to attack the Blood Slaughter Sect. Many families and sects had not yet thought about encouraging their disciples who lacked potential to believe in the Creation God Cult; they had only thought about sending their disciples to attack the Blood Slaughter Sect.

However, Wan Ling received a letter from Wan Hai and learned about the family's next arrangements. When he saw Wan Hai say that some disciples in the family without potential would be selected to attack the Blood Slaughter Sect, he already knew the family's intentions. What he did not expect was that Wan Hai would agree to let those disciples worship the Creation God Sect. This was something he did not expect.

However, he quickly understood Wan Hai's meaning. He also knew that those who were chosen had already been abandoned by their families. However, he did not object to this. From a personal point of view, the Wan family's decision seemed extremely cruel. You were chosen because you were abandoned, and your death was only to gain greater benefits for the family. This was too cruel for an individual.

However, from the perspective of the entire family, this decision is beneficial to the whole family, and the benefits are significant. Sacrificing some family members to gain more benefits for the family, and even potentially allowing the family to grow stronger, is extremely attractive to a large family.

Family disciples are nurtured by their families from a young age, provided with a stable cultivation environment so they can cultivate in peace. Therefore, when it's time for them to sacrifice for the family, they must do so. This is similar to the elite bodyguards trained by families: they provide food, drink, shelter, and even support for the family, eliminating any worries. But when it comes to truly fighting, they must fight. Family disciples receive so much benefit from their families, so when it's time to sacrifice for the family's development, they cannot shirk their responsibility. The same applies to sects. As a sect disciple, you have been nurtured by the sect, so when the sect needs you to sacrifice for it, you cannot refuse.

That's why Wan Ling didn't object to this. On the contrary, he felt that the family's decision was correct. He had to make some preparations in advance, so he sent someone directly to a small family that had already decided to follow the Creation God Sect and invited the family's patriarch to his room.

When the patriarch of that small family arrived at Wan Ling's room, Wan Ling looked at him and said, "Patriarch Li, I've invited you here today because there's something I need to tell you. During the previous battle, someone saw your family's disciples turn into black smoke and disappear after being killed. What's your explanation for this?"

Upon hearing Wan Ling's words, Chief Li's expression changed. He looked at Wan Ling and realized that Wan Ling was staring at him. It was clear that Wan Ling was not testing him. This made him understand that he had no choice but to admit his guilt. Just as he was about to confess, he suddenly noticed something: Wan Ling did not seem to have any murderous intent. In other words, Wan Ling did not intend to kill him.

Thinking this through his mind, he immediately realized that Wan Ling might not be looking for him to kill him. So what was his purpose? Clan Chief Li tentatively said, "Elder Wan, our family members have indeed come to believe in the Creation God Sect. However, please rest assured, Elder Wan, we have only recently come to believe in the Creation God Sect. We had no connection with the Creation God Sect before. We have no other choice now; our family's strength is too weak. We just want to use this method to improve our family's combat power. Please do not report this matter to higher authorities. Give the Li family a way out. The Li family is willing to follow the Wan family's lead." He thought that Wan Ling wanted to help the Wan family subdue them, which was why he had no murderous intent, so he brought it up directly.

After hearing his words, Wan Ling was slightly taken aback at first, then he couldn't help but smile and say, "Li clansman, you don't need to be nervous. The truth is not as you imagine. In fact, His Majesty already knows about this matter. His Majesty's intention is that the previous Creation God Sect has been destroyed, and you have no connection with the previous Creation God Sect anymore. Although His Majesty will not issue an explicit decree to make the Creation God Sect the state religion again, nor will he immediately declare you legal, he will not punish those of you who believe in the Creation God Sect. As for how the Creation God Sect will be dealt with in the future, it will depend on your performance when facing the Blood Slaughter Sect. If you perform well, then after dealing with the Blood Slaughter Sect, His Majesty may once again make the Creation God Sect legal."

When Chief Li heard Wan Ling say this, he was first taken aback, but then his eyes lit up. He immediately asked Wan Ling, "Elder Wan, is what you said true?"

Wan Ling nodded and then said, "I have received orders from above, so you can rest assured that no one will come to kill you. You are very safe now."

Clan Chief Li nodded excitedly, and then said, "Thank you Elder Wan for bringing us this news."

Wan Ling waved his hand and said, "No need to be so polite. I invited you here today for two reasons: first, to tell you this news, and second, because I need your help with something." Wan Ling paused here and glanced at Clan Chief Li.

Clan Chief Li quickly replied, "Elder Wan, please speak. We will definitely help you if it is within our power."

Wan Ling looked at Clan Chief Li and then said, "In a while, some people will come to the base. At that time, I would like to ask Clan Chief Li for help in guiding them to join the Creation God Cult. What do you think, Clan Chief Li?"

When Chief Li heard Wan Ling say this, he was taken aback. Then he looked at Wan Ling with some surprise and said, "Of course, there is no problem. Elder Wan, just have someone inform me when the time comes."
