Anping paused and looked at Le Zhengen. "Angel Douluo, you must have received a lot of contacts recently, right?"
After the breakthrough was over, Anping lifted the blockade on the federal network. On one hand, it was convenient to get some general information about the outside world from the internet. On the other hand, it was no longer necessary.
He had blocked the internet before because he was afraid that the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy would discover his purpose. But now that he had achieved his goal, there was no need to worry.
Le Zhengen nodded in response to Anping's question. "That's true. Our operation has caused quite a stir in the federation. It would be strange if no one contacted me. Is there a problem with that?"
Anping said, "No problem. I just want to know if Guo Zhenfeng, the leader of the Northern Army Corps, and Yin Moshang, the leader of the Northwest Army Corps, are among them."
Le Zhengen didn't know what Anping was planning, but he tried to recall. He nodded and said, "Yes, they are. They mainly asked me why I led the Southern Army to secede from the federation, and they wanted to meet with me."
Anping thought for a moment and said, "Since they want to meet, you can contact them, Angel Douluo. It would be great if they could join us. If not, there's no need to force them. As for what you should and shouldn't say, that's up to you. You should make your own decision, Angel Douluo."
Le Zhengen understood why Anping wanted to win them over. He nodded and said, "Yes, they have little connection with the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, so there's still a chance to win them over."
Anping had confidence in Le Zhengen's ability to persuade them. He knew that Le Zhengen had a good reputation, and that the lure of becoming a god was hard to resist.
Then Anping turned to Leng Yaozhu and said, "Master, you must have been contacted by him too, right?"
He was referring to Qiangu Dongfeng, and Yun Ming and Yali both frowned. They had a bad impression of the Qiangu family. Ever since the Qiangu family took over the Spirit Pagoda, the relationship between the pagoda and Shrek Academy had deteriorated day by day. It was all because of the Qiangu family.
Leng Yaozhu was not surprised by Anping's question. She nodded slightly and said, "Yes, he did contact me. Not only that, he also requested to meet you and Nana."
Anping nodded and said, "I can agree to that, but we have to decide the time and place."
Leng Yaozhu nodded without saying anything, but Yun Ming said with a slight frown, "I don't recommend meeting with Qiangu Dongfeng. He is very ambitious, and a wrong move could easily backfire. And are you doing all this because you want to split the federation?"
Anping shook his head slightly and said, "Atlas Douluo, you're mistaken. Do you think the federation needs me to split it? Isn't it already divided? What I want to do is to unite the power that the federation can use to deal with the future God Realm."
"Qiangu Dongfeng may be ambitious, but he's not useless. Besides, even if he joins us, don't you have the confidence to keep him in check, Atlas Douluo?"
Yun Ming sighed and said no more. He knew the federation better than anyone. Beneath its prosperous facade, it was riddled with divisions. He was worried that Anping was trying to start a war, but considering the current situation of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, a war seemed inevitable.
He was confident that he could handle Qiangu Dongfeng. After learning the meditation method and the way to become a god from Anping, he had nothing to fear. He despised Qiangu Dongfeng, mainly because he was always sabotaging Shrek Academy behind the scenes.
But when he thought about the future crisis involving Tang Hao, Ah Yin, the Abyss, and the God Realm that could return at any time, Yun Ming had to admit that Anping was doing the right thing.
Anping had his reasons for wanting to win over the Qiangu family. One of them was that he knew that Dong Zian, the leader of the Western Legion, was close to Qiangu Dongfeng, and Anping hoped to reach out to Dong Zian through him.
Another important reason was that the Spirit Pagoda, as the organization that monopolized souls and soul-ascension technology, had a wealth of resources. This included not only materials, but also a large number of researchers.
After discussing Qiangu Dongfeng's issue, Anping said: "Atlas Douluo, Holy Spirit Douluo, I'm sure you've been contacted by many people recently. If you think there's anyone who can join us, feel free to contact them. I trust that you know how to judge them."
Yun Ming and Yali nodded. They agreed with Anping, and they wouldn't turn down his suggestion. They didn't need Anping to explain how to judge them. They knew that they couldn't be die-hard loyalists of the Tang Sect, Shrek Academy, or Poseidon.
Then Le Zhengyu said: "I did some calculations and noticed that you mentioned almost all the legions, but why not the Northern Army Corps? Is there something special about them?"
Le Zhengen explained to him: "Zhengyu, you don't know this, but most of the officers of the Northern Army Corps are from the Sun Moon Academy, and the Shen family that controls the corps is a big family from Mingdu. If we want them to join us, I'm afraid Anping will have to personally talk to Ling Hongchen."
Anping nodded and said: "That's what I plan to do, but even though I'm confident that I can convince Dean Hongchen, I've heard that the Shen family is a pacifist faction in the federation. I don't know if they'll agree."
Anping knew Ling Hongchen very well. He was a person who was devoted to research. As long as Anping appealed to his interests, he might be able to persuade him.
Anping didn't know much about the complex systems and factions of the federation. He only had a general idea, so he wasn't sure if he could succeed.
No one was surprised that Anping was confident in persuading Ling Hongchen. What Anping had done in Sun Moon Academy was no secret to them. Based on the research results he had contributed to Sun Moon Academy, Hongchen wouldn't be able to refuse Anping.
And it wasn't just about research anymore. Joining the City of Miracles also meant having the chance to become a god. Hongchen wouldn't be able to resist such a temptation.
Yun Ming said: "Don't underestimate Ling Hongchen's influence. Most of the senior soul masters in Mingdu graduated from Sun Moon Academy. If you can persuade Ling Hongchen, he can help us with the Shen family. They won't be a problem."
"And it's not just the Shen family. More families will join us if Ling Hongchen supports us. He has a status in Mingdu that's almost equal to what I had in Shrek City."
Yun Ming was very familiar with Sun Moon Academy, the rival of Shrek Academy, especially Ling Hongchen, the dean of Sun Moon Academy.
Anping nodded and said: "That would be ideal."
