Douluo Continent: Gretchen at the start, empowered by the Star God.

Chapter 112 Arrangements for the Heavenly Battle

"Young Master, are you sure you don't need us to follow you?" Xuan Bing asked again to confirm.

"No need, you have more important things to do," Lang Lei explained.

"We will definitely be able to share the burden for the young master," Xuanbing and Lihuo said simultaneously, bowing their heads.

"Alright, no need to be so formal." Lang Lei patted the two on the shoulder and helped Xuan Bing and Li Huo up.

"I need to leave Tiandou City for a while, but I can't go back on my promises. So please keep what I'm about to say in mind," Lang Lei instructed.

Qian Renxue indirectly brought him into contact with the existence of the Star God. Through this discovery, he also obtained a lot of information. Therefore, with the mindset of repaying kindness, Lang Lei also paid some attention to Qian Renxue's affairs.

Of course, the two share the same goal, and that's the fundamental reason.

"Please speak, young master." Xuanbing nodded solemnly.

"Do you remember Xue Beng, the spoiled prince we met at the entrance of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy when we first arrived in Heavenly Dou City?" Lang Lei asked.

"Of course, is it that guy who offended Miss Alicia?" Li Huo volunteered. "You want to get rid of him? Leave it to me."

As he was about to leave, Lang Lei quickly stopped him.

"No, we definitely have to kill the avalanche, but we need to find a different way to maximize our profits," Lang Lei explained to the puzzled Xuan Bing and Li Huo. "Although it might not be the best approach, it's still an opportunity."

"Chance?"

"That's right, it's an opportunity to put pressure on the Tian Dou Empire and to show our strength to the Douluo Continent, so that no Tom, Dick, or Harry thinks they can step on us," Lang Lei said.

Xuanbing and Lihuo exchanged a glance. Had the Spirit Hall blocked the news? Did the young master not know what the two of them had been doing at the Spirit Hall?

Xuanbing wondered to herself whether she had reported her return to the young master...

"Well, young master... we don't need to do the prestige-building thing anymore." Li Huo directly told Lang Lei what the two of them had done in Wuhun City.

"Hmm?" Lang Lei was slightly taken aback. He thought the two of them had just secretly gone over and beaten up the high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall, but he didn't expect them to make such a big fuss. "Well done."

"Young master, you flatter me."

"Alright, establishing authority is just a side effect. The main goal is to help Qian Renxue clear the obstacles to inheriting the throne," Lang Lei continued. "This is also so that our plans can be implemented more quickly later."

Since meeting Gu Yuena, Lang Lei had a rough plan in mind and had discussed it with Xuan Bing and Li Huo, so the two of them were also in the know.

Little Gretchen and Ellie were probably not interested in these things, so Langley didn't mention them.

Although Xuanbing and Lihuo have been reincarnated, they still have memories of their past lives. Without affecting Langlei, they still hope that the soul beasts can live a better life.

"Here's what you'll do: after we leave, pick a time when they're holding their morning court session, and use the avalanche as an excuse to declare war on the snowy night. Be assertive."

"But don't fight them right away. Give them two days to allow Qian Renxue time to make her move."

"If Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, comes to you, you must pretend that you know her, but not that you are particularly close. This will make it easier to make demands."

"This time there are only two main objectives:"

First, there's the fate of that avalanche guy.

Second, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.

Is that clear?

"You can make your own judgments and act accordingly. I trust you."

"Yes, we understand," Li Huo and Xuan Bing replied.

……

An hour later, Xuanbing and Lihuo nodded and finalized some specific details of the matter.

"By the way, after this is done, when you're not free, you can send Na'er to the Star Luo Royal Academy to study. The facilities there will be of some help to Na'er." Lang Lei gently pushed open Na'er's half-closed door. Na'er ran to the bed in a panic and covered herself with the blanket.

"The Star Luo Empire?" Xuan Bing asked in confusion.

"That's right." Lang Lei smiled and continued, "I've thought it all out. When Na'er is hospitalized, I will stand up for her as a god. This time, I will leave the Anywhere Door behind, so you might see me there again."

"With me here, no one can bully her."

"Xuanbing thanks the young master on behalf of Na'er." Xuanbing nodded. She and Li Huo weren't very busy, but they also needed to cultivate, so going to the academy was indeed a good choice.

Unlike Xuanbing and Lihuo, who were directly reincarnated by borrowing the bodies, true spirits, and memories of their previous lives, Na'er is actually less than a year old. Her common sense about life was directly inherited from Gu Yuena, and she doesn't have many related memories. It's not good for her to keep following these "adults".

Even the youngest, Lang Lei, must be several decades old if you include his memories from his previous life.

As for little Gretchen...

You know everything.

As for why Na'er was sent to the Star Luo Empire, there was actually a specific purpose behind it...

"There's one more thing," Lang Lei suddenly said.

"Please speak, young master."

"I need you to help me collect various ores, but not the low-grade ones. If you have time, you can also help me check out the auctions," Lang Lei said. He had originally planned to go to Gengjin City, but it was really unnecessary to make a special trip just for something like the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda. He might as well go shopping with Little Gretchen and Ellie.

"Okay, we'll keep that in mind." Xuan Bing nodded. "Is there anything else you need, young master?"

"Let me think about it..."

"Handle the avalanche, put pressure on the Heavenly Dou Empire..."

"Na'er enrolls in school..."

"Collecting ores..."

"That should be all, that's all for now. Good luck!"

"Yes, young master."

Lang Lei did this in order to save time.

After leaving Holy Soul Village, he didn't actually plan to return to Heaven Dou City for the time being, but instead prepared to go to the Star Luo Empire.

To truly unify the Douluo Continent, the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, the Spirit Hall, and the Three Upper Sects are all forces that must be conquered.

The three upper sects are easy to deal with; if they obey, they are kept; if they disobey, they are destroyed.

The Spirit Hall is already mostly one of our own.

The Heavenly Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire are the only tough nuts to crack.

If it's just about pursuing power, that's fine, but if you want to build a stable nation, these people are very important.

As the saying goes, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. He may be able to kill all the Soul Masters and civilians, but what is the point of that?

However, building a force from scratch was too troublesome, so Lang Lei decided to directly control these existing major forces and bring them into the hands of his own people.

Having finished giving his instructions, Lang Lei took out the Anywhere Door, placed it in the living room, and then went to Little Gretsch's room to call out Ellie and Little Gretsch.

"I'm going on a long trip, do you want to come along?"

"want!"

"Of course!"
