It's not that he consistently backed down in the face of the sea monsters; his stance against them remained firm, and his actions were without fault.

The problem is that he has almost never left this "Sky Island," and he has barely even left the main city of this region, Skysea City, more than a few times. He has always been stationed in the rear, and has almost never taken action!

[He's weak, easily beheaded, that's one thing, but—]

Qin Zhenhai is one of only two humans at the peak of the third realm within the Vast Sea of ​​Condensed Waves!

[Yet he never left Tianhai City, merely remaining there to guard the core of a region, but to outsiders he was simply clinging to this place, the safest place for the human race, an extremely cowardly individual.]

Qin Zhenhai has been the domain lord for four hundred years, yet he has never actually left the island. Why, then, am I to go out with you tonight?

"Did things start to change because it was a matter of life and death?"

Yun Shou pondered, but based on what was mentioned in the simulator, it was hard for him not to think the worst of people.

For example... Qin Zhenhai knew that after a period of time, the main force of the sea monsters would attack Tianhai City and the old tortoise shell where he had lived for many years.

So now he's starting to frequently leave the city and the island. On the surface, it's a change, but in reality, it's to have a reasonable excuse to avoid the sirens' all-out attack!

When the sea monsters invaded Tianhai Island, he could "just be out exorcising the monsters and not have time to come back." Then, Tianhai Island was annihilated, and Qin Zhenhai could think, "Since that's the case, it would be futile for me to go back. I might as well fight the monsters elsewhere." And after the Sea Prince became a fourth-realm expert, he was even able to "enter the safe mainland of the human race to prepare to break through to the Supreme Realm and then fight back."

Yun Shou had thought this plan through perfectly: it would allow him to escape disaster while preserving his reputation—it couldn't be more brilliant.

To avoid appearing deliberate if he did this again when the sea monsters attacked, Qin Zhenhai immediately made changes after receiving the information from Wei Yang, creating a brand new image of a "brave and warlike domain lord".

“It’s just that Wei Yang didn’t deserve it,” Yun Shou sighed. “He risked his life and abandoned his family to send out information… which was then used by others to escape.”

"Hopefully there will be a turnaround."

"However, based on the information revealed in the previous simulations, the Vast Ocean Waves will still belong to the human race in the future. Is it because a supreme being intervened, or because the Sea Prince failed to break through?"

Yun Shou scratched his head.

[Upon hearing that Qin Zhenhai was to accompany you on your journey to vanquish the sea monsters, you were stunned: "Lord, why are you... different from usual today?"]

Qin Zhenhai smiled calmly, displaying the demeanor of a regional ruler: "It's not different from before—I've always been this way!"

[Having said that, his height, appearance, skin, and hair all changed simultaneously: he transformed into Xu Wuxin, another human at the peak of the third realm, from the vast ocean of condensed waves!]

You didn't react immediately.

"Over the years, I've outwardly remained firmly within Tianhai City, never venturing out. But whenever I secretly leave the city, I use the identity of 'Xu Wuxin,' with a double in the City Lord's Mansion providing cover for me!"

Qin Zhenhai said, "There has never been a person named Xu Wuxin. He has never truly existed. There was only an identity prepared specifically for me when I went out!"

"It's all for the purpose of slaying all the sea monsters!"

"Oh my god, the mysterious hero of the Vast Ocean Waves!"

Yun Shou said, "Who would have thought that Qin Zhenhai, who always stayed in the City Lord's Mansion, was actually a righteous man who slays demons and monsters!"

"By the way, whose copy is this? It sounds so familiar?"

Qin Zhenhai explained everything to you: This is precisely related to the sacred body he possesses.

[Two extremes, clockwise and counterclockwise!]

The effect is that it allows the body to accommodate the power of two systems without interference, enabling them to progress together!

[Initially, the Holy Body hadn't evolved; the original version was called "Twin Martial Body."]

[At the first realm or below, one can practice two martial arts simultaneously and awaken two martial wills.]

"Double combat power, dual attributes?"

Yun Shou exclaimed, "My God, this is even stronger than double essence. After all, my multiple essence is just an amplification of the same attribute power."

However, there is a drawback: this doesn't mean you can share the bonuses of two martial arts sets; you can only use one set at a time, and you have to switch to use the other set!

"But it's alright, I guess. You can cultivate both ice and fire elements simultaneously and engage in high-level elemental attribute reaction combat."

[This essentially doubles your methods and increases your adaptability, but it doesn't multiply your actual combat power—you'll even have to put in twice the effort to practice those two martial arts techniques.]

"Uh... this is only suitable for climbing the level cap when you're stuck at a certain level."

Qin Zhenhai possessed a naturally divine body, but he didn't truly feel its usefulness during his youth. At most, he had a few more Yuan Cores implanted during his innate stage, and two sets of Dharma bodies tattooed upon his transformation into a Celestial Being...

[Until he advanced to the level of a hegemon... his dual martial body evolved into the dual-polar reverse body, gaining a significant boost.]

[By practicing only one system, the other system will automatically strengthen: it's like perfecting one martial art, and the other will also improve.]

[And he possesses a dual ambition for dominance!]

[These two domineering intents are forcibly built up using the special properties of the Sacred Body; ordinary martial artists simply cannot achieve them.]

One protects the land, the other slaughters all the sea monsters.

Different domineering intents correspond to different elemental skills, combat systems, etc...it's like two completely different people.

[You seem somewhat puzzled: "Why take on a separate identity? Is it to create the illusion that 'the city lord is guarding Tianhai City,' so that you have a deterrent effect when you go out to slay demons?"]

However, the Tianhai Sea is located inland, making it difficult for sea monsters to reach, so its deterrent power is not as great as that of a "dual overlord".
