Every force had its own factions. Even a small family would have its own factions, which was normal.
There would be open and veiled fights within the major forces and races. But those were small fights that wouldn't affect the overall situation. Usually, the Family Patriarch or the leader of a force could control the situation.
The Grim Reaper had no Family Patriarch and no absolute leader.
The Grim Reaper was more like an alliance. The 10 giants were the 10 alliances.
The Grim Reaper didn't have a complete warrior or a powerful warrior with absolute prestige to control the entire force.
Lu Li had enough prestige. It was a pity that he hadn't been with the Grim Reaper for long and he was only at the Emperor Realm. He was too young to convince the public.
There used to be factions within the Grim Reaper. Lu Li was on good terms with Emperor Yu, Emperor Yi and Emperor Mo. Emperor Li was on good terms with other giants as well. There were also some neutral factions.
But the infighting was not so obvious. On the surface, everyone seemed to be in harmony. The Grim Reaper was cohesive.
The Grim Reaper was still developing rapidly. Were they going to start infighting now?
More importantly, shouldn't the infighting be done in secret?
From the looks of it, it seemed like they were going to start fighting on the surface.
The 10 giants said nothing. They didn't give any explanation. They just kept trying to rope in their followers and ask them to pick a side.
First of all, the newly joined warriors who were infinitely close to the completion of the Grim Reaper were under pressure. The 10 giants had sent their men to contact all the Great Patriarchs and ask them to pick a side.
All the Great Patriarchs were troubled. If they didn't pick a side, it would affect them greatly.
But now, the 10 giants had all sent their men to visit them. Even though the messages were vague, the message was clear. They must pick a side or else they wouldn't have a good life.
All the patriarchs received hints as well. They must pick a side. If they didn't, they would be marginalized and lose their real power.
Many other trump cards of the Grim Reaper received hints and asked them to pick a side.
For a moment, everyone in the Grim Reaper was in a state of panic. Many senior members of the Grim Reaper were worried that the Grim Reaper that was about to rise would be destroyed.
Many Grim Reaper tried to persuade the other giants through various channels. But the 10 giants said nothing. No message was passed down. Even the immediate descendants of the 10 major families didn't know the reason.
This was also what Lu Li and the others had agreed on. This matter could not be leaked out, otherwise, those who were infinitely close to the consummate realm in the alliance would be alienated.
It didn't matter if the Grim Reaper was in chaos for a period of time. It would slowly stabilize. As long as the ten giants didn't fall into chaos, the Grim Reaper wouldn't fall into chaos.
Lu Li asked Lu Renhuang to recruit warriors. Even though Lu Renhuang was not powerful, he was Lu Li's father. Nobody dared to belittle his identity and status. Instead, they would feel valued.
Lu Renhuang went to visit all the Great Patriarchs. He didn't make any promises. He just sent a message to Lu Li — he needed some help.
Lu Li was determined to recruit Lu Li because the Lu Alliance was too weak. Compared to the other forces, the Lu Alliance was the weakest. There were only a few Great Emperor Realm warriors working for them. Lu Li was the only one holding the fort.
Therefore, the Lu Alliance needed the support of strong allies. Otherwise, Lu Li would be at a disadvantage in the upcoming infighting.
To Lu Li's surprise, a Great Patriarch who was infinitely close to the consummate realm came to surrender that night. He didn't want any promises and he only wanted to follow Lu Li.
On the second night, another Great Patriarch came. On the third and fourth day, the third Great Patriarch came. On the fifth day, another Great Patriarch came.
Of the 10 Great Patriarchs of the Grim Reaper, four had come from Lu Li's side!
Then came the patriarchs. There were many patriarchs of the Grim Reaper now. There were more than 100 patriarchs with real power but nominal positions.
In five days, Lu Li had received more than 30, almost a quarter of the total.
It had only been five days. There must be more to surrender.
Lu Li was scared. The 10 giants had 10 factions. He had recruited so many warriors. How could the other forces compete?
Lu Li had underestimated his influence. He was the soul of many of the higher-ups of the Grim Reaper.
If it weren't for him, the Grim Reaper would have been destroyed by the Dagon Race. In other words, Lu Li had saved the Grim Reaper and saved them.
Then, Emperor Mo and the others went to the Tiangang Galaxy but suffered heavy losses. Even Emperor Bu died in battle.
Lu Li went alone, but he almost wiped out the Dagon Race and suppressed the Dagon Race …
What was more, Lu Li had the King of the Eastern Region behind him, which was the foundation for the Grim Reaper to become one of the 12 masters. Without Lu Li, the Grim Reaper would have been destroyed, not to mention becoming one of the 12 masters.
As long as Lu Li was in the Grim Reaper, the Grim Reaper's position would be stable. In other words, when Lu Li was gone, the Grim Reaper would be doomed!
Since they had to choose sides, they had to choose the strongest.
The original patriarchs were close to Emperor Li and they had been relying on the Grim Reaper for many years. It was not appropriate for them to switch sides. However, the later patriarchs and Great Patriarchs did not have such concerns. Naturally, they came to Lu Li's side to show their loyalty at once.
Sure enough …
As time went on, more and more patriarchs and powerful warriors joined Lu Li's side. Two months later, almost all the middle-level and higher-ups of the Grim Reaper had chosen sides.
Then came a dramatic scene. Lu Li's side occupied 30% of the powerful warriors of the Grim Reaper, and the other nine leaders divided the remaining 70%.
Lu Li's side dominated!
Emperor Li and the other patriarchs were dumbfounded. What else could they do?
At first, they had thought that the 10 of them would share the powerful warriors and the territory of the Grim Reaper. In this way, they could fight among themselves without hurting the foundation.
Now that the factions were divided, they realized that Lu Li had become the absolute overlord.
What was more, Lu Li was close to Emperor Mo, Emperor Yu, and Emperor Wing. The Grim Reaper was practically Lu Li's …
If Lu Li wanted to dominate and become the only overlord of the Grim Reaper, he could mobilize powerful warriors and wipe out Emperor Li and the other patriarchs easily!
They had shot themselves in the foot. Emperor Li and Emperor Yu felt like bursting into tears.
They had wanted to use this opportunity to suppress Lu Li. After all, Lu Li's foundation was shallow and he was too young to convince the others.
On the other hand, they had been operating in the Grim Reaper for so many years. They must have more powerful warriors with them than Lu Li.
Lu Li only had the Lu Alliance. When he could not stand on his own, he would be at the mercy of Emperor Li and the Grim Reaper.
At this point, there was no turning back.
All the agreements had been enshrined in the ironclad law. If Emperor Li and the other patriarchs went back on their words, Lu Li could destroy them easily.
Also, all the powerful warriors were willing to follow Lu Li. Lu Li only sent one message to each of them — come on, he needed help.
They promised great benefits and even went to those powerful warriors in person. However, they could not resist Lu Li's call.
Emperor Li and the other patriarchs sent secret messages to express their concerns. The other patriarchs did not know what to feel.
Only Emperor Mo, Emperor Yu, and Emperor Wing were not worried. Lu Li was close to them and they knew Lu Li's character well. Lu Li was gentle, loyal, and the kind that would not offend others if they did not offend him.
What was done could not be undone. What else could Emperor Li and the other patriarchs do?
They had no choice but to drink the poison that they had given themselves.
Fortunately, Lu Li did not attach much importance to power. At the moment, it was not a bad thing for Lu Li to have a monopoly. If Emperor Mo and the other patriarchs had a monopoly, the situation would be even worse.
