The sea god's almost out-of-control questioning echoed in the space.
Di Tian's heart was in his throat.
This is a supreme god of the divine realm! If he learns of the existence of the divine lotus, will he immediately turn against us and try to seize it?
Although the Lord has already absorbed it, who knows what kind of unpredictable methods God might employ?
Gu Yuena's silver eyes narrowed slightly, and the divine power within her body flowed secretly.
Although she has begun to recover, she is far from reaching her peak. Facing a veteran god wielding a super artifact, she is not confident of victory.
However, Ning Liu, who was at the center of the storm, seemed completely unaffected.
Seeing the sea god's bewildered expression, he shrugged, a look of utter confusion on his face.
"Finished product? What finished product?"
He asked in return with an innocent look:
"Senior Poseidon, what are you saying? I don't understand."
"..."
The blue projection of Poseidon suddenly froze, almost collapsing on the spot.
Can't understand?
You're playing dumb with me, kid?
Di Tian's enormous dragon head also froze.
No, that's a god.
Why are you pretending to be confused at a time like this?
Ning Liu ignored their reactions, instead frowning as if...
He complained to the sea god with an expression that said, "How can you be so ungrateful?"
"Senior, aren't you missing the point?"
"Is your wife alive?"
The projection of Poseidon shook violently once again.
Ning Liu didn't give him a chance to think at all, and continued to speak rapidly:
"If he's already alive, you shouldn't be worrying about this. What's more important than your wife, kids, and a warm bed in the divine realm?"
"Hurry up and pass the divine position to Xiao Wu, so you can be freed soon, return to your family, and enjoy the happiness of family life!"
"..."
These words struck like a thunderbolt, leaving everyone present stunned.
Di Tian's jaw almost dislocated.
What did he hear?
This kid...is he teaching a god how to do things?
Are they still urging him to pass on the throne, retire, and go home to take care of his children?
This is not just arrogance, this is downright heresy and unheard of!
He has lived for tens of thousands of years and has never seen a mortal who speaks to a god like this!
Xiao Wu was also stunned. She hugged the trident, her face flushed. She looked at Ning Liu for a moment, then at the silent blue figure in mid-air. She was at a loss for what to do.
Even on Gu Yuena's perpetually frozen, stunningly beautiful face, a rare look of surprise appeared.
She had imagined how Ning Liu would deal with the Sea God—whether it would be an exchange of benefits or a war of words—but she never expected that he would use such a scoundrel-like method to shut a god up.
Ironically, this method... was surprisingly effective.
The projection of the sea god flickered in mid-air, remaining silent for a long time.
What could he say?
Refuting Ning Liu?
But what he said was true.
It was indeed through this kid's bizarre methods that his beloved had a chance to recover.
Angry?
To be angry at someone who has done you a great favor and is also crucial to your successor?
He couldn't bring himself to do it.
Most importantly, although Ning Liu's words were rough, the reasoning behind them was sound.
What he cares about most now is indeed his lover's condition and the handover of the family business.
As for Gu Yuena's revival and the origin of the Seven-Colored Divine Lotus...
These events were certainly earth-shattering, but compared to his own life, they seemed less important.
After a long while, a soft laugh filled with helplessness and dejection came from the azure projection.
"hey-hey……"
Poseidon laughed, his laughter filled with complex emotions.
"It'll be soon, very soon."
He glanced at Ning Liu with the look in his eyes as if he were looking at a monster, a walking embodiment of trouble.
"You little rascal, you're definitely not someone to be trifled with."
"I was already exploiting a loophole in the rules of the divine realm by letting Xiao Wu inherit the divine position, and now you've dragged me into this, getting involved with the dragon race..."
"This pool of water is getting muddier and muddier."
He shook his head, his tone resolute:
"You're right, this is not a safe place to stay. I really need to get out of here quickly."
The way they said that made it sound like if they stayed any longer, Ning Liu would drag them down with him and put them on a pirate ship.
Di Tian was stunned.
Is that... all there is to it?
A world-shaking crisis that could have shaken the divine realm was averted by this kid's few words.
Upon hearing this, Ning Liu's face immediately broke into a bright smile:
"Your senior is wise!"
Seeing that the projection of the sea god was becoming increasingly illusory and seemed about to disappear in the next second, Ning Liu's eyes darted around and he quickly spoke up.
"Hey, senior, wait a minute!"
"Um?"
The sea god's fading figure paused, casting an inquiring glance.
Ning Liu rubbed his hands together, a mixture of embarrassment and a matter-of-fact smile on his face.
"Look, since you've already come all this way, we can't let you make a wasted trip, can we?"
“I helped you solve your lover’s big problem, and you helped us cover up our misfortune. This is called reciprocity.”
"To further strengthen our unbreakable friendship, would you... like to add a few more trinkets from the divine realm as a bonus?"
"..."
silence.
A deathly silence.
Di Tian's enormous dragon eyes were now wide open, even bigger than copper bells.
He felt that his dragon brain was completely unable to process the information in front of him.
You call things in the divine realm "little things"?
