As Wen Yu spoke, the Sovereign listened intently.
The consequences of adding another candidate were multifaceted—this world could barely support two heaven's chosen, and introducing a third would inevitably lead to a series of conflicts of interest.
A straightforward example was the Baru demon beast, one that Bai desired and Wen Yu also had his eyes on.
And that was just one aspect.
However, since the Sovereign had made a decision regarding this matter, no one could refute it. Though Wen Yu felt reluctant, he could only go along with the Sovereign's wishes.
This was the absolute influence stemming from the difference in power.
The person before him was deemed a god, not because of omniscience or omnipotence, but ultimately due to a power that surpassed all else.
“So, are there any more questions?”
The Sovereign posed another inquiry, and Wen Yu gently nodded.
“I have one more question regarding Bai; I am unsure how your Highness intends to handle the competitive relationship between Bai and myself.”
“You mean?”
“Will I concede, or will he?”
“I want you to concede, to no longer be in conflict with Bai, and to not interfere with any of Bai's actions in the outside world, and I mean any.”
“……”
Upon hearing the Sovereign's “suggestion,” Wen Yu fell silent.
After a long pause, he finally lifted his teacup and drained it.
“I do not agree!”
“Oh?”
The Sovereign raised an eyebrow, and in an instant, a massive pressure enveloped Wen Yu, making him feel as if he struggled to breathe, as though he were about to face an indescribable terror!
But this did not stop Wen Yu from expressing his conditions.
“Not interfering with any actions is completely unrealistic! I hold a high position and need to be responsible for this world, and I also need time—more time to consolidate my power! If you let Bai stir up trouble out there and he causes a major issue, I cannot accept that outcome, and quite possibly, neither can you!”
For the first time, Wen Yu had challenged the Sovereign's opinion—under the Sovereign's malicious scrutiny!
“Continue!”
The Sovereign only uttered two words, yet the malice emanating from him intensified!
This added pressure felt like the last straw breaking the camel's back, causing Wen Yu to break into a cold sweat, stars dancing before his eyes.
“If you insist on having Bai appear in the outside world, my final bottom line is that he must exist within my perception range! Just like Tang Haofei, every move he makes must be under my supervision, that is my bottom line!”
“Whew!”
As he finished speaking, Wen Yu took a sharp breath, feeling the world around him fade to darkness, breathing becoming increasingly difficult, like an ordinary person on the verge of drowning.
Until the pressure receded like a tide, the Sovereign maintained a composed expression devoid of any murderous intent.
“Indeed, as expected of my first choice in the sequence, this level of strength is quite real. Hmm, given your outstanding performance, I agree to your request.”
Once the Sovereign finished speaking, Wen Yu finally emerged from the state of ringing in his ears and dizziness, gagging a couple of times while touching his face.
A mixture of blood, mucus, and tears had stained Wen Yu's hands in chaos…
For the first time, Wen Yu truly experienced the Sovereign's power!
He had almost…
Just a bit more, Wen Yu had nearly been crushed by the Sovereign's aura…
……
“Bai will not appear in the outside world; he has become my first treasure land guardian. He will follow the guardian regulations, remain in a certain super treasure land, and will not venture out easily. Furthermore, I guarantee that if you catch him doing anything that harms your interests again, you may act freely, and I will not interfere in your disputes anymore. Hmm, how does that sound?”
The Sovereign spoke calmly, while Wen Yu simply accepted the tissue Bai offered, gently wiping his face.
“Are you sure he can follow the rules? Abide by the guardian regulations?”
