Dingxing stood quietly on the balcony of the palace room arranged for him by the royal family of the Lion Continent. This was the royal palace where the royal family of the Lion Continent resided, known as the Lion Palace.
The architecture of the Lion Palace was also magnificent, but compared to the Heavenly Palace, it lacked a certain imposing aura. However, Dingxing did not mind. In fact, even if he lived in the Heavenly Palace, he would be in a remote hall, rarely involving himself in political matters. He had been in seclusion, waiting for the day he could ascend.
If it weren't for Xie Yu and a few others writing to him, Dingxing would not have come to stir this murky water. However, now he understood that coming out this time was the right decision.
Zhao Hai's strength truly exceeded his imagination. Dingxing had never thought that someone could fully escape from the attacks of the five Elder Supremes. What was worse was that this person had previously fallen into their trap, sealed within the Dingxing Disk, yet he managed to burst out and destroy their base!
This person was too dangerous! Only after truly confronting Zhao Hai did Dingxing realize the terrifying aspects of this individual. Now Dingxing believed that if Zhao Hai continued to stay in the God Realm, the entire divine race would be in danger.
Zhao Hai's threat did not only stem from his strength but also from his ruthless nature.
The people of the Taurus Continent had been completely slaughtered by Zhao Hai, and such means truly astonished Dingxing.
He was also aware of the atrocities committed by the golden bull divine race against the commoners of the kingdom of light on the Ark Continent. However, Dingxing, being a member of the divine race, held the pride that came with it. In his eyes, the people of the Ark Continent were merely inferior races; it mattered little how many of them were killed. Just as the people of the Ark Continent never regarded slaves as human, the divine race also did not consider the people of the Ark Continent as humans.
However, Zhao Hai's methods of slaughtering divine race members did instill a sense of danger in Dingxing.
He realized that if they did not eliminate Zhao Hai quickly, the divine race would surely face a greater slaughter.
There were two more reasons that solidified Dingxing's determination to deal with Zhao Hai: one was the rebellion of the Thunder Clan and the other two major tribes, and the other was the involvement of the three major otherworldly divine races.
The rebellion of the Thunder Clan and the other two tribes had triggered a massive wave of revolts among the vassal races in the God Realm, a storm that had yet to settle. The people of various continents were still entangled with their vassal races, leaving the divine race momentarily unprepared.
Secondly, the involvement of the three major otherworldly divine races had been a feud with the divine race that had lasted for tens of thousands of years, their hatred deeply ingrained in their bones. Under such circumstances, if Zhao Hai collaborated with the three major otherworldly races and succeeded, what hope would there be for the divine race members?
Because of these thoughts, Dingxing had no choice but to cooperate with those Elder Supremes, preparing to eliminate Zhao Hai first.
Just as Zhao Hai had previously guessed, this time Dingxing and the others mobilizing troops against the otherworldly divine races was indeed part of their plan. Previously, Jin Ben had fought against Zhao Hai, and the golden bull divine race had encountered Zhao Hai on the Ark Continent not just once or twice. Therefore, they had conducted some research on him. They discovered that Zhao Hai was a very cunning individual. If they truly intended to attack the otherworldly divine races, Zhao Hai would definitely not engage them in a decisive battle; instead, he would cause chaos on the divine race continent. By then, they would have to retreat and would fall into a trap.
Thus, Dingxing prepared to act preemptively. After studying Zhao Hai, he finally discovered that he was not one to take risks. His every step seemed to be well-planned. Therefore, once they took action against the otherworldly divine races, Zhao Hai would certainly not support them; he would only come to deal with the divine race continent. With such calculations in mind, Dingxing began to make arrangements. However, the words he spoke earlier on the Taurus Continent were not mere acts, nor was it just him performing; the others were in the know as well.
