“So what?” Wen Yu squinted his eyes, beginning to understand the reason why the Sea King wanted to meet him.
Because of a miracle...
From the scene just now, Wen Yu could simply deduce the birth process of the sea king clan.
They had been lurking on these five pillars, slightly altered in their state of existence by the infection of demonic energy, but not much, not even reaching level one.
Until one day, a piece of unknown creature's flesh fell onto the stone pillar, was devoured by the seaweed, and then changed.
At first, the sea king clan must not have looked like they do now, but after the first batch of sea king clan members was born, they experimented with the flesh of different creatures and gradually found the state most suitable for their clan's reproduction.
This was indeed a miracle. The birth of the sea king clan involved numerous coincidences, with multiple factors overlapping, leading to the emergence of this powerful clan standing at the top of mutated beings. However, a miracle means it cannot be replicated.
The birth of the sea king clan was arduous and unique; because of this, they valued the fate and life-and-death of their clan more than other creatures.
“So... I am revealing our clan's greatest secret to Lord Wen Yu, hoping for your mercy,” the voice of will appeared again. Wen Yu squinted and looked towards the base of a certain stone pillar.
There, was a cave, and the voice came from within it.
Wen Yu stepped forward, and the two sea king clan members only nodded silently. However, when Fang Yuqiong attempted to move forward as well, she was stopped by the two sea king clan members.
This was a meeting solely between Wen Yu and the Sea King.
...
In fact, Wen Yu did not intend to do anything to the sea king clan...
Wen Yu entrusted this matter entirely to Fran—if Fran said to attack, Wen Yu would annihilate the sea king clan. If Fran said the sea king clan posed no problem, then Wen Yu would not act against them.
If this matter were to be discussed in a meeting, it could surely take days and nights, as it involved extremely complex internal matters including level restraint, the sea king clan's struggles before death, even the Sea King's mentality, logical thinking, the individual mindset of each sea king clan member, and the attitudes of the aquatic beast tribes affiliated with the sea king clan... and so on.
There were simply too many considerations; so many that Wen Yu did not even have the heart to ponder these matters.
But my lack of accountability does not mean you do not need to express your stance!
That’s the logic—Wen Yu held the advantage, took the initiative. Regardless of what he thought, since you did something wrong, you needed to pay the price.
This was also the reason the Sea King wanted to meet Wen Yu—he needed to provide an explanation...
To let Wen Yu know of the existence of the sea king clan's Ancestral Land, to see their method of reproduction and evolution was only part of it, and could only be part of it.
If Wen Yu truly intended to seek a price from the sea king clan, then these were far from enough!
...
The cave was not large, at most ten square meters in size.
Inside, it was spacious, with only clusters of glowing aquatic plants providing some light for the cave. Aside from that, there was just a clump of plants similar to the seaweed on the outside stone pillars.
As Wen Yu scanned the area with his perception, he did not find the true body of the Sea King, but soon a clear mental wave emanated from the clump of seaweed.
“I have met Lord Wen Yu, but please forgive me for my inability to move,” the seaweed said, swaying slightly with the underwater currents as if bowing.
To this, Wen Yu couldn't help but find it intriguing.
The existence of the Sea King was similar to Lolo, being an formless entity fused from the collective will of the clan—whether a tribal will entity counts as a living being is still up for debate.
This also meant that, aside from certain special means or their active appearance, even Wen Yu would find it difficult to locate their exact position—just like when the one-eyed creature couldn’t find the spirit body’s location.
