Zhao Hai mentioned that resolving the issues with the divine race sooner rather than later could save more lives, and he was not joking about it. He understood very clearly that the black mist from the Underworld was continuously spreading. Given the current situation, the o'neill family would likely be unable to stop the Underworld's advance. Under these circumstances, it was only a matter of time before the Underworld reached the God Realm, and he believed that day was not far off.
It had only been about a year since the black mist from the Underworld appeared here, but during this time, the black mist had already spread to the Aksu Empire. The speed of this expansion was incredibly fast, and now the o'neill family was almost in direct confrontation with the black mist of the Underworld.
At this rate, the black mist would undoubtedly reach the God Realm within a day, and by that time, many more people would die there.
Zhao Hai did not believe that the divine race could handle the black mist from the Underworld. The expansion of this black mist was akin to altering the heaven and earth laws; all light-based entities would be suppressed within the black mist, while all dark energies would be enhanced. In such a scenario, it would be very difficult for the divine race to defeat the Underworld.
If the divine race could not defeat the Underworld, then everyone in the God Realm would be killed. Rather than waiting for that to happen, it would be better to let Zhao Hai end the war quickly. Perhaps he could save more civilians from the God Realm by bringing them into his space, ensuring their safety.
Realizing this, Laura and the others stopped speaking. Zhao Hai's attack on Lion Mountain was indeed a better choice; at this moment, using this method to strike at the divine race might yield unexpected results.
Zhao Hai didn't say anything more. He sat on the sofa, looking at the screen. Xiao Bingya and the others had already returned to their rooms. Xiao Bingya was contacting his clan to see if anything had happened there, wondering why Zhao Hai seemed to be in a bad mood.
Xiao Bingya did get some results. He learned that the Central Continent was already in chaos. The vassal races there had already taken control of a piece of territory, but no one from the Central Continent had organized any counterattacks.
Upon learning this, Xiao Bingya was truly stunned. He had never expected things to unfold this way. He immediately invited Raedna and Yeheta to his room to share the news.
When Raedna and Yeheta heard Xiao Bingya's words, they were equally surprised. Raedna murmured, "So, the Central Continent is in utter chaos now. But why is the master not happy?"
Yeheta frowned as well, feeling puzzled about this situation. Under such circumstances, Zhao Hai should be the happiest, so why was he not pleased?
Xiao Bingya thought for a moment and said solemnly, "I have a possible explanation. The master might think he has gone too far. When we fought the divine race on the Taurus Continent, he generally killed those who resisted, but for the civilians, he typically used spatial magic to send them somewhere else. I had always thought he killed them, but it seems he didn't; he relocated them to other places. Now that there is chaos in the Central Continent, it is not just the military involved; many civilians are caught up in it. This might not be what the master wanted to see, which is why his expression is so grim."
Yeheta and Raedna nodded; this was the only reasonable explanation. However, Raedna noticed that Xiao Bingya's brows had furrowed again and looked at him in confusion, asking, "Bingya, what's wrong?"
Xiao Bingya lightly frowned and said, "I always feel that the master's visit to the God Realm this time is not just about revenge. If he really wanted revenge, given their strength, the God Realm should have been in chaos long ago. It shouldn't be like this. I wonder what the master is truly after."
Yeheta and Raedna also furrowed their brows. They had been following Zhao Hai for some time and were well aware of his combat power. Zhao Hai's strength far exceeded their imagination, and even when facing the Elder Supreme of the divine race, he had not used his full strength. This did not align with the style of someone seeking revenge. They had not thought about this before, as Zhao Hai had already killed many members of the divine race, but now that Xiao Bingya pointed it out, they also felt something was strange about Zhao Hai's behavior, which did not seem like that of a person solely focused on revenge.
