[Some people are in the midst of a battle, so only about forty people participated in the meeting—an online meeting.]
[The ten people, including you, are offline.]
The seriousness of the issues discussed in this meeting would cause a huge uproar if discussed outside the meeting.
[A human overlord, branded a traitor, personally murdered his own family, massacred an entire island, and defected to the sea tribes.]
In reality, he was enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens; he was acting as an inside agent, transmitting crucial intelligence.
Two days ago, his intelligence arrived.
[The Sea Prince, the Mermaid King, and the Man-Slaying Tyrant Whale—these three peerless demon generals, possessing cultivation levels of twelfth level and various powerful bloodline abilities, comparable to those at the fifteenth or even sixteenth level, have launched a full-scale attack!]
[The main city of Haitian City was captured, the "Headquarters" destroyed, and the human forces of Hanhai Ningbo were thrown into chaos!]
[Then they divided up the human race in this vast region, devouring most of it, leaving only a small amount as a token of respect for the human race as a whole.]
[You are shocked, and the other overlords are also puzzled: "This is tantamount to directly occupying a region of the human race. Although the Vast Sea Condensation Wave is somewhat controversial, it will make the human race in this place exist in name only... Aren't you afraid that the Supreme One will take action?"]
[In the vast, undulating sea, the human race occupies only a small territory; the sea monsters are the true rulers. When conflicts erupt and humans are slaughtered, these are considered regional conflicts, not worth the intervention of the supreme beings from other great domains.]
But if countless billions of humans are slaughtered, leaving only a few "vanity projects," then the Supreme Being will truly be uneasy!
[While they wouldn't go so far as to break the tacit agreement and forcibly take over the Vast Sea Waves domain as a human domain, they would still punish the Sea Prince's leaders. So, are they really that brave?]
Domain Lord Qin Zhenhai smiled wryly: "Because... Crown Prince Hai is about to break through to the fourth realm."
You all gasped for breath.
[With the appearance of the Supreme Being, the entire realm is unified!]
If a supreme being were to be born from the sea monsters, then in the future, perhaps the entire vast ocean would belong to the sea monsters, completely driving out the human race!
[The human race's century-long king carries immense fortune, far less free than the demon race; and if he doesn't leave the Fifth Realm, the Fourth Realm is the pinnacle of the Azure Domain!]
Someone pressed, "Then why...didn't this matter be reported to the Emperor, alerting him and allowing him to eliminate the Sea Prince beforehand?"
Qin Zhenhai sighed, "It's not that easy. There are so many alien races, enemy races, and threats on the borders. Many claim they can break through to the fourth realm, but very few actually succeed… Even the Supreme Beings aren't 'saints' who can sacrifice themselves for others and travel everywhere. They have to suppress war zones, teach their disciples, cultivate themselves, and refine their fighting bodies."
[But what if the Sea Prince actually succeeds in breaking through?]
That can only be bad luck—you know something has happened before you think about how to fix it, which is called hindsight… but out of ten thousand things that could happen, only one will actually happen, and dealing with one such event takes far less effort than preventing it from happening ten thousand times.
Yun Shou thought of the jokes he had read in his previous life.
"It is said that in classic adventure games, the Demon King delivers monsters to the hero to kill, starting from the weakest and gradually increasing in strength... But those weak and medium-sized monsters have already killed countless potential heroes, and the Demon King has reached his limit."
"He can't just block every boy's doorstep as soon as he picks up a sword, can he?"
"What about the hero who infiltrated the sea monsters? Does he have any further information to prove that the Sea Prince's breakthrough is a sure thing?"
[Some people pressed for an explanation, saying that the human race in the Vast Ocean was too weak, possessing only one-third the strength of the sea monsters—the sea monsters numbered over two hundred third-realm great demons.]
[The human race only has two peak cultivators at the third realm, and only six at the later stages (plus you, an outsider). Such power can only be destroyed in the face of the sea monsters.]
[They couldn't think of any other way but to rely on external forces.]
"He's gone," Qin Zhenhai shook his head. "Just two days ago, during the process of sending a message, he deliberately cut it off, informing me that his death was imminent."
"At that time, the siren probably noticed something was wrong with him."
You remain silent for a moment: "Who is he?"
"Wei Yang... his reputation has not yet been cleared. You can see information about him on the Yuan Energy Network, but it's all fake."
[After the meeting, you take a break to go online and casually search for information, and you see this headline.]
[The greatest traitor and most beastly man in the history of the Vast Sea's Waves for three thousand years! He murdered his wife, slaughtered his children, and massacred an island, all for a token to join the Sea Demons!]
[Someone argued below the article: "I clearly met Island Master Wei. He was a very kind person. He hated sea monsters the most, and his parents died as sea monsters when he was young... How could he possibly betray the sea monsters!?"]
"Heh, there are people who believe in Wei even more than you—his wife and children, his personal guards, and the people under his command. But do you want to guess why those people haven't spoken up for him?"
"It's unimaginable that such a despicable scum exists. In the video recorded by the siren, he personally killed his wife who opposed surrendering, and then offered the corpses of his children to that shark-bodied general to eat. Even the siren was astonished!"
[You silently scroll through the article information; the incident occurred forty-seven days ago, the third day after the siren tide broke out.]
"Yes, there's still time."
This article doesn't simply condemn Wei Yang; it also analyzes him beforehand: how could a kind, benevolent, and compassionate island lord who fought against sea monsters and cherished his wife and children have fallen so low in just three days?
[The author extracts clues from Wei Yang's past experiences to analyze the reasons for his sudden change, revealing his hidden weakness through his childhood experiences, etc... You didn't read on.]
The analysis is excellent, but unfortunately, the starting point is flawed.
[You are only amazed by Wei Yang's resoluteness. The sea monsters, taking advantage of the great tide, suddenly launched a full-scale attack, but Wei Yang only took three short days to make up his mind: to kill his wife and children, to endure humiliation and hardship... What a terrifying will!]
[You close the article and open the war situation. About 1.5 million miles away, another giant wave rises, and you are about to set off—Domain Lord Qin Zhenhai pats you on the shoulder.]
"This is a Sword-Backed Turtle Lord at the late stage of the Third Realm. Its shell is as strong as a turtle shell at the peak of the Third Realm. Shouyun, can you handle it?"
[You thought to yourself, no matter how high the defense is, it's still just a matter of me blowing it up, but considering that the sirens are about to launch their full-scale attack, it seems better to leave this opportunity to the Sea Prince.]
He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What does Lord Qin mean?"
Qin Zhenhai laughed heartily: "I'll go with you!"
You are... shocked!
[It's truly shocking, because you've learned about this domain lord's reputation these past few days—he's known as the weakest domain lord ever.]
