“Humph!” Seeing this, Wen Yu couldn't help but snort coldly.
However, considering the situation, Wen Yu felt there was no need to blame anyone—he wasn't afraid, after all, he was alone, having severed his ties with Earth. But Tang Hao had a mother and children, and this problem couldn't just be compared.
With this in mind, Wen Yu softened his tone. “Don’t worry, I already have a way to deal with this problem. Besides, if it really comes to a point where there’s no way out, even if you choose to side with Bai, I won’t hold it against you.”
After saying this, Wen Yu gently patted Tang Hao's shoulder. Then, he lifted his head and looked up above.
“But for others, I won’t be as magnanimous.”
His gentle voice sent chills down Tang Hao's spine.
He could sense that Wen Yu had made up his mind to kill...
As for the target… well, it couldn't be more obvious.
Logically speaking, when catastrophe befalls, everyone looks out for themselves; the choices others make shouldn’t concern Wen Yu—just like the Sea King, who chose to transform into a being of the Immortal Heroic World. They weren't openly opposing Wen Yu and the sea king clan.
Putting aside whether they had the right to do so, the fact remained.
They just wanted to survive; they likely never intended to get involved in the conflict between Wen Yu and Bai!
However, Tang Hao knew that his godfather was often unreasonable…
And right now, his godfather was very displeased!
...
Following the cave, they made their way up.
During this time, Tang Hao and Wen Yu walked in silence, one after the other.
It wasn't until they exited the cave and flew out of the Mariana Trench that Wen Yu finally focused his gaze on his surroundings.
Transparent sea water, floating marine life, beautiful and strange rock formations—it was a magnificent scene laid out before Wen Yu.
However, this beauty no longer belonged to him, nor to this world…
“Then, you have no reason to exist!”
At this moment, Wen Yu spoke coldly. He then pulled Tang Hao and their bodies shot high into the air, until they broke through the ocean surface and floated in the sky. Wen Yu finally halted his movement, looking down at the shimmering sea below.
He could see fish leaping from the surface, and beneath the waves, massive beasts were swimming. Occasionally, he spotted a few members of the sea king clan riding sea beasts, stealthily observing Wen Yu—they naturally knew that the Sea King had left with Wen Yu and Tang Hao, but now Wen Yu and Tang Hao had appeared, while the Sea King had vanished.
Under a vague premonition, they had already guessed the fate of their Sea King, and they also knew very well why this situation had occurred…
As a result, psychological pressure naturally rose—they were unsure what the human above would do to their clan.
Until the final judgment arrived...
Wen Yu suddenly spoke, his voice booming like thunder, echoing through the heavens and the earth. All living beings capable of understanding human speech silently looked up, listening to the one voice in the world at that moment.
“Fish, I desire; bear paws, I desire as well; if both cannot be had, then I shall forsake fish for bear paws. Life, I desire; righteousness, I desire as well; if both cannot be had…”
“Then forsake life for righteousness.”
“This is an ancient saying…”
“But in reality, I personally scoff at such ancient sayings and principles. The word righteousness is not as noble in my eyes; rather, the word life is supreme in my view.”
“To forsake righteousness for life, I see nothing wrong with that.”
“Just like what you are doing now, what your sea king clan is doing… Yes, I admit that the current situation is not great. You have changed your identity, changed your stance; all of this is understandable. Didn’t you see I once transformed into a member of the demonic clan for the sake of survival?”
“Actually, none of this is a big deal…”
Upon hearing Wen Yu's words, the members of the sea king clan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
