Zhao Hai quietly listened to Meigen's words. Although Meigen's approach was quite sinister, Zhao Hai had to admit that the method she suggested was the most suitable for him.
If Zhao Hai really followed Meigen's advice, then the Thunder Clan, Barbarian Clan, and Winged Horse Tribe would suffer another heavy blow. Coupled with the pressure from the O'Neill Family outside, when the time came, Zhao Hai could persuade the three clans to enter the space.
Moreover, they would leave no traces behind. After all, they had previously helped the otherworldly divine race out of a tight spot in this way, and using this method again would raise no suspicions.
However, this would inevitably lead to significant losses for the Thunder Clan and the other two clans. The several Elders Supreme of the divine race were already nearly driven mad by Zhao Hai. This time, when they were dealing with Zhao Hai's allies, they would not hold back. They would treat Zhao Hai's allies as punching bags, and it was hard to say how many people from the three clans would die as a result.
Meigen mentioned that if Zhao Hai could be ruthless, she was referring precisely to this. Zhao Hai was not someone with a particularly hard heart. Although he had, at times, resorted to ruthless methods to achieve his goals, the consequences of this situation could be catastrophic for the Thunder Clan and the others. Meigen and the others were fully aware of this, and they knew that Zhao Hai understood it too, which was why Meigen would say such things.
Laura and the others understood Meigen's meaning, so they all stared intently at Zhao Hai, waiting to see what decision he would make.
Zhao Hai furrowed his brows as he sat there. He understood the implications of Meigen's words and also knew what the consequences would be if he truly acted as she suggested. It was precisely because he was clear about the consequences that he hesitated.
Zhao Hai wanted to bring the three clans into the space, but if he truly followed Meigen's suggestion, the losses for the three clans would be too great, even leading to the risk of annihilation.
He feared that if a race among the three clans was truly annihilated, he would owe them a huge debt of gratitude. Hence, he felt very conflicted inside.
At this moment, Meg, who had not previously expressed any opinions on this matter, suddenly said, "Brother Hai, I wonder if you've considered one thing: if the Thunder Clan doesn't enter the space, what will happen to them after we ascend?"
When Zhao Hai heard Meg say this, he was momentarily stunned. He looked at Meg in confusion, and she continued, "Brother Hai, don't forget, even if we defeat the divine race, this dimension will still be under Lu Wei's control. Lu Wei can easily support another divine race to rise, and since the Thunder Clan is at odds with the divine race and has gotten close to us, it's equivalent to offending Lu Wei. Given Lu Wei's strong desire for revenge, he is likely to target the Thunder Clan and the other two clans. What will happen to the three clans then? Do you think they can withstand Lu Wei's attack?"
Zhao Hai and Meigen were both taken aback. To be honest, they had never considered the problem from this angle. They always thought that defeating the divine race was sufficient, and never thought that if one day they left this dimension, those related to them would certainly not be spared by Lu Wei. Ultimately, it would still be them who would face the consequences.
Zhao Hai stared at Meg for a long while before bursting into laughter, saying, "Meg, I didn't expect you to notice something we all overlooked. Indeed, if we ascend one day, then the Thunder Clan will definitely face misfortune. At that point, they will still be annihilated by Lu Wei. A person like Lu Wei is absolutely capable of doing so. Instead of letting that happen, we might as well bring them into the space now."
Meigen looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Then let's do as I suggest. We'll first observe what the Elders Supreme of the divine race plan to do. If they indeed target the Thunder Clan and the other two clans, we will create chaos in the God Realm Continent. If those Elders Supreme of the divine race do not return, we can seek assistance later. I believe by then, the three clans will definitely agree to enter the space. Besides this, we can also send a message to the otherworldly divine race. While we seek assistance from the three clans, the otherworldly divine race can come and deal with the divine race."
