Chapter 1158: Gathering All Sides (I)
Li Hao looked at Capsize Sea; the monster spirit smiled back at him.
“I have my ambitions, but not to become the greatest in the world. I reiterate my earlier words—those who do not amount to much after one hundred thousand years will never amount to much. In that case, I need to plan for a more glorious future. At the very least, I cannot be worse than my grandfather, yes?”
Its grandfather had been the second greatest among monster spirits!
Li Hao understood. He was silent for a while before saying, “If the senior is willing to help me, I promise that if I succeed, the senior will be awarded with a position that is higher than the Sea Pacification Envoy!”
Capsize Sea smiled. This was the answer it wanted!
“Then I congratulate the commander in advance. The commander needs to keep another point in mind—the lower levels of New Martial are easy to recruit. The senior levels are hard and imperial descendants even harder. They think that they will be resurrected after the minor world returns to the embrace of the main world, whereas no one even knows the names of the lower levels. Who will revive them?
“As opposed to wasting too much time and effort on the strong, you might as well concentrate your efforts on the weaker. You’ll have greater effect this way. Those stuck in the lower levels all wish to rise above their station. No one hopes to scrabble in the mud for the rest of their lives!
“Also, plant spirits are absolutely worth recruiting. This faction is so weak that they don’t even have exalted emperors. There is no place for them when it comes to resurrection. Even General Pagoda’s forefather wasn’t the Pagoda King—it was just the companion plant spirit of the Pagoda King. The plant spirits have always yearned to produce an exalted emperor of their own!
“The plant spirits and beast spirits are of the same mind. Also, those of the senior levels without notable backgrounds of their own are worth recruiting.
“Why was Battle Heaven so easily won over? For one, Li Daozong is of the Sword Sovereign’s line. The other is that the old turtle is just the soul of a weapon. Who cares about the survival of a weapon? Wang Ye is just a minor character, a side branch of an auxiliary branch...”
Li Hao’s heart trembled, he’d never considered any of this before.
