The nobles of the Leon Empire agreed to enter the space without any issues. The problem was with the sea tribe; Zhao Hai found it strange that even after he helped the mermaid clan, the sea tribe was so easily willing to enter the space. What was their reason?
Of course, Zhao Hai couldn't know the reason. In fact, the mermaid clan was different from the Elven Race, Orc tribe, and Dwarf clan. The Elven Race, Orc tribe, and Dwarf clan had members who ascended to the God Realm, and the Otherworldly Deities were still fighting against the divine race. However, the mermaid clan had no members in the God Realm, meaning they had no backing.
Because of this, the sea tribe agreed to enter the space. The Mermaid Queen understood very well: even if Zhao Hai could defeat the divine and demon clans in the future, the mermaid clan would gain no benefits. Unlike other races, such as the Elven Race, if Zhao Hai truly defeated the divine race or even launched a successful counterattack, the Elven Race could reunite with their kind in the God Realm. With divine-level clansmen to assist them, their lives would certainly improve, and the same was true for the Orc tribe and Dwarf clan.
The sea tribe was different; they had no such clansmen to help them. Even if Zhao Hai successfully defeated the divine race, it wouldn't benefit them.
Moreover, there was another characteristic of the mermaid clan: they had many ninth-level experts, but no one had ever reached godhood. This had always been a worry for the mermaid clan. However, they saw hope in Zhao Hai, specifically the potions he offered.
Although the potions Zhao Hai provided were only for ninth-level and eighth-level experts, he mentioned that he was working on a Divine-Level Potion. This meant he was developing a potion that could directly turn people into divine-level experts, which was too tempting for the sea tribe. Thus, as soon as the mermaid clan heard Zhao Hai's proposal, they immediately agreed to enter the space.
In the space, the Mermaid Queen also looked at the background Zhao Hai arranged for them. To be honest, it was much better than where they currently lived, so the mermaid clan had no objections.
Although Zhao Hai was a bit puzzled by why the noble mermaids agreed so quickly, this was undoubtedly a good thing for him. Even if they had any ulterior motives, once they entered the space, they would still be at Zhao Hai's mercy.
The sea tribe and the nobles of the Leon Empire were the first to enter the space, and the noble families in the Leon Empire still held some influence among the common people. With Zhao Hai as the nominal king rallying them, the common folk quickly learned that their king had a great expert capable of leading them to a war-free place. There, they could eat their fill, dress warmly, and no longer worry about attacks from the divine and demon clans.
The people of the Leon Empire respected Zhao Hai, who became king in such a unique way. After all, they were saved from the Dragon Clan by him, and Zhao Hai was always on the front lines fighting the divine and demon clans. Although the people on Ark Continent were not part of the Orc tribe, they still respected warriors. The stronger one's abilities, the more respect they garnered, and Zhao Hai was exactly that kind of person.
With Zhao Hai's reputation and the help of the nobles, many people in the Leon Empire agreed to move to the space. Of course, they didn’t know the details about the space; they only knew they had to leave.
The commotion in the Leon Empire also drew the attention of another group: the Pagoda Empire. The people from the Pagoda Empire were currently residing in the Leon Empire. With such a significant disturbance happening, they couldn't possibly remain ignorant. Soon, both the people from the Pagoda Empire and the Leon Empire began to stir, packing their belongings and preparing to move.
People tend to follow blindly, and the common folk usually watched how the nobles acted. Now that the nobles were moving, and with the call of Zhao Hai, the foreign king, they naturally followed suit. Moreover, these commoners were quite astute; they understood that the nobles knew things they did not. The nobles moving could signify that the Leon Empire was facing trouble. If that were the case, they needed to hurry and leave.
